Chapter 725 The Wind Changes Direction
"Is it plagiarism? Blatant plagiarism, even for a famous alchemist, it is really shameful to do such a thing."
"Shameful? I think that as long as there is magic crystal to earn, you can do whatever you want. For example, energy stabilizers, everyone is refining them, why don't you say it is plagiarism?"
"You are changing the concept!"
"Who stipulated plagiarism? You call it plagiarism for refining a music box. You are making a fuss. You think that others have made money, but you are saying that the grapes are sour because you can't eat them, right?"
"Even if it is not plagiarism, it is also copying other people's ideas."
The rhythm of the off-field has unconsciously become "plagiarism of ideas". In the mortal world, plagiarism is a very damaging thing for cultural people, but in the wizarding world, there is no hard and fast rule for this. Even if it is really determined to be plagiarism, at most it will offend the original creator, and at the same time your reputation will be slightly worse.
However, it doesn't matter if the alchemist has a bad reputation. People who need you to make alchemy will still come, so everyone is fearless.
Therefore, even if the rhythm was set, it would not have much practical effect.
However, Xi Lun, who was standing on the stage, shook his head. It was obvious that the person who set the rhythm was arranged by the head of the Sharon family. Previously, the head of the Sharon family deliberately pointed out that David was the bidder, which had already violated the rules of the industry; now he used this method again, Xi Lun actually had a lot of disgust in his heart.
Sharon was completely offending the alchemist.
Even if the rhythm was set and the other party was splashed with dirty water, it would not be of much use. Let me ask, who in the wizarding world is completely clean? Time is the biggest forgetting agent. After a while, even if the reputation is bad, it will be diluted by time.
But the hatred of the parties involved is difficult to eliminate. Therefore, the rhythm set by the head of the Sharon family is really stupid!
Especially looking at the people below, even the apprentices can see the situation clearly, and there are very few people who are really led by the wind.
Xi Lun kept sighing in his heart, but as a person from the Oasis Demon Bank, he couldn't blame his head. After this auction is over, I will have a good talk with the head of the Sharon family.
However, Xi Lun did not expect that the rhythm was not really set, but someone could not stand it.
Moreover, this person was Su Mishi, the most powerful buyer at the meeting.
With a cold snort with absolute power, all the apprentices who were discussing the matter were forced to shut up.
Su Mishi's cold voice resounded throughout the auction venue: "I didn't expect that the Ancient Auction would do such a slanderous thing. It seems that you are just like this."
When Su Mishi spoke, Xi Lun's heart skipped a beat.
Just as David was previously exposed as the sender, someone would see the trick. The head of the Sharon family led the trend, and it was not without trace. It was normal for Su Mishi to see the truth.
But discovering is discovering, and being willing to speak out to help was not what Xi Lun expected.
Others may chime in, but Su Mishi's voice is really deadly, and Su Mishi directly points the finger at the Ancient Auction!
Xilun was a little anxious, secretly cursing Sharon for being brainless, thinking about how to remedy the situation.
But at this moment, Sharon, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up: "Mr. Su Mishi is wrong, what does this have to do with our auction? Even if he plagiarized someone else's ideas, didn't we auction it?"
Although Sharon didn't say it explicitly, he pointed out the plagiarism of ideas.
Su Mishi suddenly laughed: "So, the person who made the slander was Mr. Sharon?"
"I didn't slander." Sharon naturally didn't admit it: "Besides, plagiarizing ideas is not a big deal, how can it be called slander."
"You threw a mouthful of dirty water, can't you let others say it?" Su Mishi sneered.
Just as Shalong was about to answer, someone suddenly laughed again: "Master Shalong, do you have any evidence of plagiarism?"
Shalong was stunned. The person who spoke was not Su Mishi, but Ryan, the "Crazy Sand Bear" from West Demosha.
Shalong: "Ryan, why are you here to criticize me too?"
Ryan shook his head and said: "Of course not, I just want to say something fair. The plagiarism you mentioned is nothing more than the phantom sound box that everyone is discussing. I can tell you clearly that the phantom sound box is the real plagiarism."
When Ryan said this, the scene suddenly became quiet, even Su Mishi quieted down. The reason why he joined in was just to maintain the dignity of the phantom demon lineage. At the same time, he also had some good feelings for Angel and didn't mind helping to say a few words. But Ryan, who suddenly said this at this time, surprised him a little.
Ryan has a very good reputation and is recognized by the entire southern wizard community.
Everyone will think about what he says.
Xi Lun's expression also sank at this time. It was easier to handle the rhythm, but if the rhythm failed, it would be discovered that they were really slandering others before, which would be a great harm to their Ancient Auction.
Xi Lun could only pray secretly: The illusion box must not be plagiarized.
Ryan continued: "It's a coincidence that last year I heard that there would be a cloud whale cub auction at the mid-year auction of Twilight Well. So I went to Twilight Well to participate in an auction, where I saw a music box called Land in the Clouds. This music box is a fantasy with music, and the illusion made by the refiner is quite good, especially the island that appeared in the sky at the end, which is extremely stunning and definitely a rare alchemical item."
"It was sold for 8100 magic crystals and was bought by Red Lotus Lydia. This music box appeared much earlier than the so-called phantom music box you mentioned." After a pause, Ryan continued: "I also know about the phantom music box, and I even bought one with a fluke. But after listening to it, I can be sure that it is not as good as the Land in the Clouds. The illusion is just like a child's play, without any sense of reality, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is shoddy... The most important thing is that the Land in the Clouds has only one song, called Sky City, and Sky City was also copied by the maker of the phantom music box in the phantom music box."
"So, the phantom music box is the real plagiarism." Ryan said, looking in the direction of Sharon on the third floor.
Sharon had nothing to say at this time, and only felt that his face was extremely swollen.
Ryan's words, including the time and place, and even why he went to the Dusk Auction, as well as the final transaction price of the Land in the Clouds and the purchase object, were all mentioned, which was obviously meaningful. If any part of it is false, it will be criticized, and it will damage Len's reputation. So the people present immediately believed it, and Sharon also knew that with Len's character, what he said should be true.
But if it is true, the rhythmic thing he did is really a slap in the face, and he also offended an alchemist for it!
Sharon was silent, but Su Mishi smiled and clapped his hands: "Excellent, it turns out that not only did he want to slander people, but he also slandered the wrong people. Using the real plagiarist to talk about things, are you embarrassed, Master Sharon?"
Sharon did not respond to Su Mishi's ridicule, but Len, who had helped him speak before, responded.
"Your Excellency Su Mishi, what you said is also wrong. What I said just now was just a matter of fact. Because the phantom music box is indeed plagiarized, not original." Len changed the subject: "But I didn't say that the music box auctioned by Xilun now is original, maybe it is also plagiarized."
Len's words are fair, and Su Mishi can't say anything.
At this time, Gerald, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly said: "To prove whether the music box being auctioned now is plagiarized, why not show the effect of the music box and see it."
Lien also nodded: "I agree."
Other apprentices also nodded in agreement, thinking that it could be shown.
Although Xi Lengding, who is still bidding, does not want the alchemy illusion to be peeped by everyone, the auction item is still in the hands of the organizer. According to the rules, the organizer has decided how to display it before it is actually auctioned.
Xi Lun did not make a decision immediately, looking at Sharon on the third floor, hoping to get a hint from Sharon.
Sharon did not know whether he should show the effect of the music box at this time. If this music box is really made by the original creator, then he will really become a laughing stock today. But if it is made by a plagiarist, it can be a little whitewashed.
Sharon thought about it. He actually wanted to know what the difference was between the phantom music box in his hand and the music box, so he sent a message to Xilun: "Okay."
After receiving the signal, Xilun said to everyone: "Okay, then show it."
While Xilun was speaking, he opened the lid of the music box and activated the key.
At the moment when the music box was activated, several cheerful and gorgeous notes suddenly hit everyone's heart.
It was like someone was whispering in their ears, but the notes turned into a gorgeous and pleasant conversation.
As soon as the prelude came out, it immediately caught everyone's ears.
"Is this a piano piece? It's quite interesting music." Even those who have no talent for music appreciation smiled unconsciously at the corners of their mouths under the stimulation of the leaping notes.
Not long after the prelude started, everyone found that the surrounding environment had changed unconsciously.
Almost all wizard apprentices did not notice how it changed. Only the formal wizards noticed something, but even so, they were shocked by this illusion that seemed so real.
This refiner's illusion skills were not inferior to those of some illusion wizards! Just from this one move, everyone could understand that the starting price of 150 magic crystals was too low! No wonder the bidder would rather spend money to buy it than hand it over to the Ancient Auction.
Because this is an insult to the alchemist who made the work.
In the illusion, they appeared in a forest, and there was a vague figure talking to a young woman.
Although they couldn't see their appearance clearly, their movements and expressions when they talked, combined with the music, showed that they were communicating happily.
"The illusion is so real, almost flawless." Someone sighed: "I also have a phantom sound box, and the illusion there is simply incomparable to this one."
"I am beginning to believe what Lord Ryan said now. The illusion of the phantom sound box is simply dregs. This illusion, which is like the real world, may be the original."
Someone also quietly asked Ryan if this was related to the Land in the Clouds that he saw at the Twilight Auction?
Ryan: "It's not clear yet, but this opening technique and the extremely real illusion are even more amazing than the Land in the Clouds."
Su Mishi on the other side raised his mouth and said silently in his heart: "It's natural that the illusion is more powerful. I heard from my mother-in-law that Angel's strength has grown to an astonishing height in a short period of time... plus this illusion with the addition of nightmare, it's hard to think it's not real."
At this time, everyone began to integrate into the story in the illusion.
However, the wizards from the Savage Cave also deliberately withdrew some of their thoughts and thought about what kind of magic the alchemical illusion created by Angel could make Graya understand it, and His Excellency Rhine also praised it greatly.
At this time, the music entered the cheerful and gorgeous overlap at the beginning. The girl who was talking in the illusion suddenly turned around happily, like a dancing butterfly, turning around in the forest with the music.
While everyone's eyes were still fixed on the girl who was dancing in circles, the surrounding illusion changed quietly again.
They appeared in the depths of a narrow street.
The girl stopped turning around. There was a hunchbacked blind old man in front of her. The girl was talking to the old man.
Although everyone could not hear their conversation, they understood the meaning of their conversation with the music: the kind girl met a blind old man, and the old man's wish was to restore his sight and see the sea and the forest with his own eyes.
The girl wanted to fulfill the old man's wish, so she asked for help everywhere. Finally, she found another vague figure in the forest at the beginning.
It was a mysterious wizard.
The wizard fulfilled the girl's wish. He performed magic beside the old man. Light appeared in the old man's eyes and he saw a series of scenes.
Accompanied by more gorgeous musical notes, these scenes also appeared in everyone's eyes.
It was at this time that almost most wizards stood up. The scene in the old man's eyes... was indeed mountains and seas, forests and waves, but it was full of a weird sense of disharmony.
"It's him! It's definitely him!" Len exclaimed: "This music box is definitely written by the original author of Land in the Clouds! Exactly the same, the same feeling that the sky island gave me, no, it's stronger and more fascinating and yearning."
