"Webber, what do you want to do?"

Back in the room, the white-haired young man grabbed El-Melloi II and asked loudly.

"It's impossible for El-Melloi to be prepared to pay so much money now! Or do you want to provoke the Thousand World Tree?"

"I really don't have that much money."

El-Melloi II nodded.

"But we have to keep going. Once the auction is over, then it's all over."

"Have you ever thought about what if the eldest lady suddenly changes her mind and doesn't plan to buy it? Wouldn't your El-Melloi family be doomed? This train is not the kind of place where you are allowed to make an IOU!"

The white-haired young man sighed helplessly.

"In fact, we almost gave up, didn't we? What's the point of increasing the price like this? As long as the eldest lady raises her hand, she will win in the end."

"Does Miss Red Ponytail have so much money?"

Hearing this, Gray next to her couldn't help but asked in surprise. Frankly speaking, after the amount reached hundreds of millions, she almost fainted. But with the current amount, this poor country girl could no longer imagine it.

.

"Of course, you may not know something. Thousand World Tree has become very famous in the outside world in recent years. It controls the production and sales of semiconductor raw materials, as well as the pharmaceutical industry..."

Having said this, El-Melloi II also shook his head helplessly. In fact, few people know about this kind of thing. After all, Thousand World Tree is indeed rich, but most people really can't imagine it. This is also normal, such as chip manufacturing.

Everyone knows AMD and Intel, but they know very little about raw material suppliers such as Umicore and Nichia.

In fact, the products provided by these companies are not only not secret weapons, they can be said to be household products, such as battery compounds, optoelectronic materials, LED optical components, battery raw materials, etc. But to the public, the names of these companies are

But it is far less famous than companies such as Toshiba, Intel, and Samsung.

However, the products they provide are the most indispensable.

To put it simply, Intel may go bankrupt, and Samsung may go bankrupt, but companies like Umicore will almost never have to worry about development prospects and raw material sales. Unless there are some new materials that completely subvert the current global technology products

, making those things in the past become waste products, otherwise they would have nothing to worry about.

Qianjieshu is also such a raw material supplier at the moment. They are mainly responsible for providing high-quality and low-cost semiconductor materials and raw materials for LED displays. With the rapid development of science and technology, with the help of Qianjieshu's own financial resources and Founder's forward-looking

In just a few years, Qianjieshu has become one of the largest raw material suppliers in the world.

It's just that most magicians don't care about technology. Although some of them control many mines, they are just for the supply of raw materials, and the supply of high-tech raw materials are two completely different things. Relying on seizing the opportunity and seizing the opportunity

In the market, the current Thousand Realm Tree... is not much worse than the Twelve Monarch Families in the Clock Tower.

Not to mention that Founder can get money from the CIA and FBI anytime and anywhere.

"But...this is not good..."

Even so, Gray still feels bad. After all, no matter how rich Qianjieshu is, he will not be fooled by others. Now his master wants to raise the price obviously to delay time. If it is just to delay time, then

That's all, but every time the price is raised, it means that the amount increases, which means that Red Ponytail needs to spend more money to buy the magic eye.

It would be fine if Red Ponytail was her enemy, but she had just helped heal El-Melloi II's injury before... From Gray's point of view, her master seemed to be repaying kindness with enmity.

"At that time, I will personally apologize to her."

At present, this is all El-Melloi II can say.

Soon, everyone returned to the Ten Thousand Demonic Eyes Library, and the auction that had been suspended started again. In fact, whether it was El-Melloi II or others, it seemed that others also took this opportunity to collect enough money, planning to make one final bid.

war.

As a result, the auction price began to rise again, rapidly rising from 240 million to 260 million. At this time, the pink-haired girl also joined the fight again and directly raised the price to 300 million.

Then, the auction price continued to rise, stopping once when it reached 370 million, and then the white-haired young man subsequently increased it to 400 million.

This time, Hisri Hanano was the first to withdraw from the fight, leaving only the white-haired young man and the pink-haired girl to fight against each other.

finally………

"Five hundred million."

The pink-haired girl held up the sign with a smile again, while the white-haired young man silently chose to give up.

However, at this moment, El-Melloi II raised his hand again.

"Please wait a moment."

Seeing El-Melloi II raising his hand, the auctioneer shook his head.

"This auction does not accept second breaks."

"It's not an intermission, I just want to give the Magic Eye Collection Train some suggestions."

El-Melloi II spoke, but at this moment.

"In this case, it's not too late to mention it after the auction is over."

Fang Zheng stood up.

"One billion, if no one grabs it, I'll take it."

"……………………"

This time, no one spoke.

Although she had expected it, Gray couldn't help but cover her mouth. Even Shizune Seo and Fujino Asagami next to Fang Zheng also gasped at this moment. One billion dollars is not a small amount of money.

Although Red Ponytail has indeed successfully captured the Magic Eye at twice the highest price before, everyone thinks that Red Ponytail may not do this again this time. After all, rising to US$500 million is already an exaggeration.

In their opinion, the red ponytail can end the auction with at most 50 million.

But unexpectedly, she still gave a price that no one could imagine without hesitation.

"A billion dollars once, a billion dollars twice, a billion dollars three times...a deal."

The auctioneer knocked the gavel in his hand.

"Congratulations, Miss Red Ponytail."

"You're welcome, let's just wait until the drama is over."

Having said this, Fang Zheng glanced at El-Melloi II.

"I'll settle the score with you later."

After saying this, she sat down and reopened her PSP. When she heard the words of Red Ponytail, El-Melloi II also showed a speechless wry smile. Then he coughed and waved to the side.

.

"Cores, come here."

"yes."

Hearing El-Melloi II's call, Corles walked to the center and opened the leather bag in his hand.

"………………!"

"That is?"

Seeing what was in the bag, all the magicians present couldn't help but commotion. Even the two rituals opened their eyes curiously and cast their gaze downwards. What was exposed in the bag was a woman's head.

To be precise, it was the head of Teresa, the first victim of the previous "Magic Eye Train Murder Case".

"For those of you who know nothing about the incident, please allow me to take up your time. I am entrusting you as the monarch of the Modern Magic Department."

Having said this, El-Melloi II bowed solemnly, and the magicians said nothing more. Now that the auction has settled, the Thousand World Tree has surrounded all the magic eyes in one go, and they can't take it.

It’s time to reach the other magic eyes. In this case, let’s just listen to what El-Melloi II has to say in front of us, just to pass the time.

"First of all, from the beginning of this case, the victim Teresa was decapitated. As Miss Huano said, the murderer was Karabo, and the method was to use the power of the Magic Eye of Bubbles he possessed. But in fact

, a similar series of serial murders occurred in London seven years ago. The victims were all beheaded, and their heads were missing. So, what do you think when you hear this? "

As he spoke, El-Melloi II spread his hands.

"That is, they are all dead."

“…………………???”

Hearing this, everyone present fell into silence, and the two ceremonies were also stunned.

"Isn't this normal? If you lose your head, you will die naturally?"

"This is different, ma'am."

El-Melloi II shook his head.

"Now we have also proven that Teresa's head was hidden by herself, but what about the others? What if we assume that the victims seven years ago were all holders of the Magic Eye?"

"So what you're saying is that the prisoner killed those people because he wanted to use the magic eye?"

At this time Olga Marie also entered the topic.

"But isn't it possible to remove the magic eye and transplant it into someone else's body only on this train? If you said you want to use the magic eye, are you also an accomplice here?"

"of course not."

El-Melloi II shook his head.

"For this reason, the murderer did not take out the magic eye, but took the head away with him."
