Chapter One and Five One: Fresh and Juicy and the Dead Branches of the World Tree(1/2)
"Our goods are ready. Everyone should know that we never have any opening performances, nor any beauty catwalks, nor any fancy talk shows. Everything is for this carnival! It's extremely dark here.
At night..." The host raised his hands high, as if holding up the ray of starlight that had just dimmed.
"Hurry up...my fingers can't hold it anymore...my tender and juicy..."
Everyone present has a simple quotation device in their hands. As long as they input the numbers they want, they can submit their quotations as soon as possible. At that time, the numbers on the big screen will keep beating.
Of course, the big screen in the center of the venue is showing nothing. There seems to be something about to move in the darkness of the screen. If someone looks carefully, they will find that there are actually hundreds of things floating in the dense darkness.
Designed black runes, as long as a slight amount of magic power is input into it, these runes will light up quickly, displaying various numbers or information.
In the box above the auction house, William was eating raspberries on the table: "Marshall, you should also eat some of these fruits. They are very good. They are all transported from the edge of the Maya [Primitive Zone].
I can guarantee that these things must have been transmitted through teleportation spells, otherwise they wouldn't be so fresh."
Marshall ignored William, but held Tong's hand, lying behind the glass and looking at the excited crowd below.
"I'm not very hungry now. I was a little sleepy..." After all, it's time to go to bed now, "but I think this auction is very interesting."
William gently picked up a cherry as big as his thumb from the fruit plate on the table, shook off the water drops on it, and threw it into his mouth casually: "If you want to sleep, just sleep.
.To be honest, I would rather you get some sleep. After all, the auction items are full of strange things, and you don’t know what will be put up for sale.”
"What do you mean by 'thousands of strange things'..." Marshall took Tong's arm and naturally leaned into his arms, "Are there some things that will kill you if you see them?"
"Maybe." William picked up the teacup on the table, walked to the side of the box naturally, poured two cups of steaming black tea at the self-service beverage counter, and motioned for Marshall to sit next to him, "You can buy anything here.
, everything can be sold, because this is the [city of stars] with more white and less black, Sisig."
"Is it possible to still buy and sell humans? Buy and sell orcs? Is it possible to buy a magic weapon that can destroy Yaris?" Marshall pouted and took a sip of the black tea on the table. He found that it was too hot. "It's so hot."
...I can't drink this kind of tea anyway..."
William raised his eyebrows, spread his hands and said: "Of course, there is juice here, you can pour it yourself. But the auction is about to start, and the things you mentioned before often appear here, even
It’s a commonplace thing.”
"What..." Marshall's eyes showed a little surprise, but it was quickly suppressed, "Okay."
William nodded secretly, this good show will begin in a few seconds.
"[Pure White Redemption]..." He couldn't help stroking his lips, the unfamiliar term making him a little excited.
This is the purpose of William's visit this time. In order to accept it, he will offer a price that is absolutely irresistible.
"Then, let's start this grand auction!"
With just an opening speech, the atmosphere of the entire venue reached an unreachable height. All kinds of lights flashed one after another, first flying around, and finally gathering towards the center of the stage.
"I seem to have seen... what the first auction item is!"
Waves of exclamations surged as a silver-haired child pushed a cart. With the help of the magic tent, Marshall could see what the child was pushing next to him.
This is a box of deep purple gems. Even if it is initially covered by a layer of white cloth, it cannot block the light inside.
"Spider crystal! This is spider crystal, a spider crystal of extremely high quality!"
"Look at this thread! How long and thick it is! This can even be used as the core material of some advanced spells!"
"Damn...there are so many spider crystals...if only I could buy them one by one..."
Bang! A loud clap suppressed all the commotion present, and five lights appeared out of thin air and floated above the child's head.
"The first auction item, the spider crystal," the host stepped forward, cleared his throat, and continued, "and the child on the stage! It's in excellent condition! No matter which item it is! You may not
I dare to believe that this toddler is a female, not a male. Our experts in human futurology and aesthetics have identified that this toddler can grow to a 'full and attractive' level in the future."
"I didn't expect that... if you buy spider crystals, you will get——"
"——Don't fight with me! 'Full and attractive'! This is 'full and attractive'! Even if the spider crystal is incidental, I have to get her!"
The male host has obviously seen the world and was not panicked by this situation.
Marshall swallowed and stared blankly at the man who spoke again: "The bidding starts at four hundred gold coins, and the price will be increased by no less than four gold coins each time."
The whole place immediately became excited, because the value of this basket of spider crystals alone exceeded four hundred gold coins! Not to mention this young girl who will be "full and attractive" in the future, it is impossible for such a good young lady to go unnoticed!
"Four hundred gold coins... I think it can be around 1,300 gold coins. Any higher would be a malicious increase in price."
"I think it's fifteen hundred gold coins. After all, the price of gold has been falling recently. Although this is just a girl, the price is immeasurable."
"Will you buy it?"
"I don't lack spider crystals, do you think I will buy them?"
"I'm talking about that girl..."
"When there is a 'fresh and juicy' product, are you sure I will buy this one?"
Marshall clung to the glass, his eyes motionless as he stared at the little girl in the center of the auction room.
She didn't look like a girl, but like a calm boy who had seen the world. Although her face was spotless, the determination in her eyes and the shabby clothes made Marshall couldn't help but imagine a series of things on her face.
Dirty.
"This is an auction, an auction where anything can be auctioned." William said softly, "All types of items in [Star City] have an evaluation system, even people are no exception. And for instrumental women,
The best way to call it is 'fresh and juicy'."
Tender and juicy...Just thinking of this word made Marshall's heart tremble.
She really wanted to stop time, but the cruel reality could not give anyone a chance to breathe.
"All of these women gave their bodies voluntarily, because the basic purpose of Lagdis Auction House is 'very broad voluntary', and there is absolutely no situation of forced buying and selling." William's eyes were half-opened, with a slight smile.
Looking teasingly at the excitement below, people are scrambling for the auction items.
Crowd, "Everything in the world, if you say a bad word, can be priced in money. Those who say stupid things like 'some things cannot be bought with money' are either rich to a certain extent, or
It’s just that I’ve reached a point where I’m lonely and ignorant.”
"Seven hundred gold coins! Both of them are mine!"
"Seven hundred and thirty gold coins! Damn it...my budget is a bit insufficient..."
The girl on the stage puffed up her breasts slightly, raised the corners of her mouth, and there was no trace of despair in her eyes.
"Eight hundred gold coins!"
The audience exclaimed, seventy gold coins is not a small amount, it is enough to be worth a civil servant's salary for more than ten months, and eight hundred gold coins... is basically a mid-to-high-end salary level
The highest income a layer can earn.
Marshall clenched his fists tightly, and a thin layer of red appeared on his cheeks: "Mr. William, won't you bid?"
"No, I don't need these things."
Tong has been acting as Marshall's cushion.
In the end, the price of this girl with "full and attractive" potential and the spider crystals were raised to a high price of 1,356 gold coins. In order to ensure the buyer's information security, the girl pushed the spider crystals full of
The cart walked backstage under the watchful eyes of the audience.
In order to keep the auction room compact, after the first item is sold, the second item is pushed forward following its footsteps.
This is a bone pendant with a hollow center and two sides that look like broken spider webs.
The second item is a third-level magic weapon produced from the [Sea of Chaos]. Because of its special function, it appeared in the center of the Lagdis auction house for the first time.
"Yes, you heard it right! This is a magic weapon that can distort fate and time! Although its magic power is only at the level of a third-level magic weapon, its effectiveness has far exceeded that of a third-level magic weapon.
value!”
"I know you are still doubting," the host grinned, "but I can reveal a very interesting piece of information here. The source of this magic weapon is a senior member of the Star Society, and after her personal appraisal,
Recognize the value and function of this magic weapon. Lager
There will never be any quality problems with Dis' items! If you want extra wealth, if you want a temporary burst of thoughts, if you want any fleeting inspiration, if you want unreachable opportunities
, then this magic weapon is your best choice!"
William took a sip of the hot tea in his hand. Seeing Marshall's indifferent expression, he chuckled and said, "The atmosphere below was instantly lifted."
"I only believe in myself." Marshall pinched Tong's bear claws and leaned behind him, "This kind of thing... is just a waste of money."
Marshall's heart seemed not as soft as William thought.
"There will be no fakes in anything bought here." William's eyes showed a little sadness, "If I were twenty years ago, I might have bought it."
"I would have bought it a month ago." Marshall blinked, and the auction item underneath was sold for 437 gold coins.
It was really strange that the two of them couldn't say a word.
"The third item is an absolutely exquisite cedar wand! A second-level magic weapon!"
"The fourth auction item! Thirteen Kremlin larvae! Be careful, if you get bitten, your body will swell into a ball!"
"The fifth item, yes, it is the bottom five auction items..."
When the announcement of the fifth auction item sounded, the prelude to the grand drama had quietly begun.
"This auction house only sells nine items at a time. Any more items will be queued to the next time, because the rule of Lagdis Auction House is that the last five items are the best of the best." William's eyes can no longer be separated.
The little girl is walking towards the center of the stage.
