Text Chapter 1145 Dinner & Auction

"Master, your dinner."

The butler used an exquisite dining cart to push the food into the study. On the rocking chair next to the window sill, Zhao Nan seemed to have fallen asleep. There was no reaction until the butler came over.

Ever since he came back from going out in the evening, his master has been staying in the study. Just this huge fortress owned by the owner of the castle is far more deserted than usual.

The housekeeper didn't dare to disturb him, so he stopped the dining car and planned to leave quietly.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Nan's voice suddenly came: "Bian Feng, have you handled the matter I asked you to handle?"

Didn't he actually fall asleep? The housekeeper was startled for a moment, turned around and said respectfully: "Master, according to your instructions, a good sum of money has been withdrawn from the castle to assist the families who have been harmed."

"That's good, at least we can still live our lives." Zhao Nan said softly.

Because he has been serving the master for a long time, the butler no longer became cautious. Hearing this, he sighed slowly and said: "Financial injuries can be treated, but spiritual wounds may not be so easy to heal." It’s not a good feeling to lose a family member. I hope those who are missing can return to their families as soon as possible, they are just ordinary people..."

After Zhao Nan was silent for a moment, he suddenly said quietly: "Those people will never come back..."

The housekeeper was stunned and said, "Master, do you already have any information about the missing persons?"

Zhao Nan shook his head and did not answer the question. Instead, he stood up and opened the lid of the dining car. "It's a bit boring to eat alone. You can eat with me."

"Ah...Okay." The housekeeper said quickly.

Do not refuse the owner’s reasonable requests. are the principles of being a good steward.

"But it's a pity that Mr. Osphen, Miss Valkyrie and Her Royal Highness the Princess are not here. Otherwise, I don't think the master would need me to accompany him." The butler said softly.

Zhao Nan stopped and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to see them anymore."

"Master, are you planning to go out again?"

Zhao Nan smiled and said: "A little... something happened. Okay, if I keep talking, I won't be able to eat this meal. I don't want my good housekeeper to work hungry."

"Oh... I'm rude."

After a simple dinner, Zhao Nan quietly left the castle. Holding the false ring in his hand, he then teleports the crystal through the city. Left Tingfeng City.

Soon after, he went straight to the City of Freedom, and then set off from the City of Freedom to sneak into the Hou Tianyi Empire alone.

The so-called 'Hunter Tianyi Empire' actually means that the royal family of the Tianyi Empire were massacred by the evil god camp and occupied the original imperial city. After controlling half of the area, the remaining population moved as far as possible to the edge of the original country and used collateral royal bloodlines. The new regime established by the nobles.

certainly. If the evil gods are willing to take action, this new regime will naturally not be able to last long.

Although it is considered a new country, the domestic depression is clearly visible... The collateral royal families don't know what they are planning, but they probably have some delusions of restoration.

…

…

Lyon.

It is now the new capital of the Hou Tianyi Empire, which was rebuilt from the capital of a previous province. And the Lord, who was originally the most powerful nobleman in this place, now has a decisive energy in the new regime... he has somewhat realized his previous ambitions.

This Lord Mortiki.

Yes... this place is the original Evernight Province of the Tianyi Empire, where the bones of the first Sky Sword Master are buried.

"This new emperor is useless at all. Mortiki now completely controls the entire new regime."

In the luxurious castle of Lord Mortiki. Two young men were talking leisurely. The one who just spoke is called Chat, and the name of his companion is Asuma.

The two were originally the chosen ones of Tianyi Empire's Fog City. Later, he relied on the side of Lord Mortiki... Before the war between the Sea Clan began, in the empire, many divine chosen ones would choose powerful nobles to rely on.

Although the Skywing Empire is no longer as powerful as it once was, and the Fog City was destroyed by the emergence of the evil god, and the chosen ones who escaped have begun to move to other chosen cities, some of them still remain. Joined the new regime.

I would rather have the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

Chat and Asuma are the best among them... Of course, the most important reason that prompted them to stay with Lord Mortiki was the request they had received.

The top of Yunlan!

The two of them still can't forget the scene where they met the Lord of Tingfeng City at the top of Yunlan... The thought of being so powerful made them unable to fight against him. Since you can't match the enemy, it's better to work hard, at least you can get a lot of benefits.

"You two seem very relaxed?"

In a room where no one should dare to approach at will. Suddenly there was a voice, causing both Chat and Asuma's expressions to change slightly.

"Oh...no, we're not."

And he immediately heard who the owner of the voice was, "We are just... just discussing some things! Yes, discussing things about the current world."

"Yeah?"

The figures flashed, and there was an additional person in the room between the two of them who originally did not belong here—Zhao Nan.

"Really? Just spread the news, and people will naturally be willing to gather here. Is there anything else that can be discussed about this kind of thing?"

"This... we always have to be on guard against those powerful chosen ones. Moreover, maybe this will also interest the evil god."

Zhao Nan breathed a sigh of relief. Generally speaking, these two people are considered useless. Although his strength is considered to be above the standard among the chosen ones. However, there are not many such people, and they can even be caught in large numbers.

But when it comes to taking turns, it's really top-notch.

"How are the preparations going?" Zhao Nan suddenly asked.

Asuma quickly responded: "We have already prepared the people in the guild, and the location for the auction of the current Hasumi has been selected. Now we just have to wait for the day of the auction. And we have followed your instructions. , announced the rules that only those with the rainbow seven-color key are eligible to enter the auction.”

At this time, Xia Te looked at Zhao Nan in confusion and said: "But... is this kind of entry rule useful? It can easily make people realize that maybe this auction is just a trap. The goal is to search for more seven colors of the rainbow. Key... we can actually use a more simple excuse to use the rainbow seven-color key as the auction funds for the real world..."

Zhao Nan said calmly: "Do you think this is stupid?"

"Oh... no." Chat suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and said, "Maybe you have some special intention. But I can't guess it."

"If that's the case, then don't guess. Just wait and see the results. Although the next words are a bit cliche, they will always be of some use to you..." Zhao Nan disappeared out of thin air, and the remaining voice said: "Not here yet. Pay less attention to the things you should care about. Do more and talk less, and luck will not be far away from you."

After the two of them broke into a cold sweat. I was speechless for a long time...but this was someone I could never betray. Deep in my memory, there was always such a voice telling me.

It's like a magic spell.

But it's not a real curse, it's just some small modifications in memory. Zhao Nan did not go far, but stood above the building openly. It's just that everyone here has been 'ordered' not to see him.

It wouldn't be too difficult to make Chat and Asuma completely obey him. Simply let these two people find a time to sneak into Tingfeng City, and then accept the piercing of the Rewriting Blade. . Even if you think about what needs to be rewritten in advance, it will not take more than half an hour. Tingfeng City, who occasionally returns from the East China Sea Territory, can easily complete it by the way.

"Actually, it would be better if the evil gods can come, so as not to have to 'invite' them one by one."

Is there anything that seems to be able to obtain a large number of rainbow-colored keys at once? Naturally, this is the time when people holding the seven-color keys of the rainbow appear in large numbers.

If you have the seven-color keys of the rainbow, but cannot gather them together, you will not be able to open the path to heaven for the stars. Only after the star spirit's path to the sky is opened, can the seven-color key be the holder, and people with a quota of seven can travel freely.

The best way is naturally to exchange what is needed.

but.

——I hold four, and you hold three. Together, we can open the way to heaven for the stars. But because I hold four. So I have to take four spots.

--What? You want four spots? Don't you know that the shipment rate of the three I have is even lower? I only need five places here! Do you want to do it or not? If you don’t do it, there will be a lot of people outside waiting to cooperate with me!

Of course this is not all. Cooperation and mutual win-win are also common, but they are not necessarily the absolute main theme.

"The initial exploration team has probably reached a bottleneck. The higher you go, the greater the difficulty will be. At this time, sufficient manpower is needed... It doesn't have to be too powerful, as long as it can become a pathfinder."

Zhao Nan finally landed on the roof of a nearby tall building and waited... waiting for the auction with obvious intentions to be held.

…

…

Auctions in the past have always given people the feeling that they have other motives... But if the so-called living lotus is true, then it is an absolute life-saving thing.

Such as the Resurrection Gem, of course. Secret treasures that can replace a fatal attack are also things that make people crazy. But after all, this thing still has usage restrictions. Once it is not used in time, even if it is owned, it can only be reduced to a decoration.

But the present lotus is limited in time. But it is much more tolerant, even though the body reconstructed through the real world Renmin will no longer have power.

Fight with all your strength once, even if you die, at most you will live an ordinary life. If you win...

Isn't this a very tempting idea? Because there is a relative premise of immortality.

…

One day later, at the auction venue—as the organizers of the auction, Chat, Asma, and their subordinates all put on false rings to conceal their identities, and wore masks...for these. People coming to the auction have a mysterious feeling.

"There are more people than expected... The attraction of seeing this living lotus is really huge." Chat glanced at all the people in the venue.

Some came alone, some came in groups, and some came in small teams of three or four... They were full of hostility.

"After all, it's not just a life-saving item, but a real life-saving item." Asma said calmly. But his eyes kept searching the venue.

Because the person who instructed them to launch this auction has not appeared yet... Maybe he has hidden somewhere and is watching everything coldly?

"It's almost started... I feel like prey." Xia Te frowned, countless eyes were staring at them on the stage, making Xia Te feel disgusted, "I can't stand the eyes of these people."

Asma nodded. He took a step forward, glanced at the people in the venue, and said loudly: "Dear guests, please be quiet."

The venue, which had not much discussion, suddenly became even quieter. Asma said calmly at this time: "I believe you all know the purpose of coming here. There is only one item in today's auction, so I won't say much... First, let you see the present lotus fruit! I believe that after seeing it, you should have no doubts about it."

The two people behind him slowly stepped out of the car. On the cart, three granular objects the size of fingers were simply loaded in a small glass box.

Asma made an inviting gesture and said, "Interested buyers can come up to the stage to check it out. But please follow the order, one after another."

After saying that, he asked the two people who came out with the cart to stand together.

No one would fight for such a thing - because if it is a private item, it can be put into one's personal space with just a thought, and no one can take it away... So there is no precaution against such a rare secret treasure in this venue.

However, the venue suddenly became silent at this time. After about a few minutes, a middle-aged man slowly walked up and approached the glass box. He looked carefully.

His eyes faintly revealed a strange light.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man's face changed slightly. Then he took a deep breath, looked at Asma, nodded, and then walked back to his seat in the venue with a heavy face.

"This thing... can it really bring the dead back to life? No, I want to take a look too."

"Hmm..."

"Is it real? Then..."

I don't know when, the people who came to check it out have formed a long line... At least under the current situation, discipline still exists. But I don't know when this discipline will be ignored.

Maybe soon, when the auction officially begins... Xiat and Asma thought at the same time.

The Chosen Ones here account for almost the majority, but there are also indigenous people - truly powerful indigenous people.

I don't know how long it took. When the last person who checked it out left the stage, the venue became quiet again - quieter than ever.

It was like the calm before the storm.

Asuma nodded and spoke again: "It seems that everyone has no doubts about the authenticity of the items, right? Then I will announce the rules of the auction... As you all know, the auction can only be conducted with the seven-color rainbow key. And we have graded the seven-color rainbow keys. Starting from red, all the way to the last color key, it will be doubled, red as 1 point, and the last purple will be 64 points! So, add up all the keys you have on hand, and that is the money you can use for the auction! But there is one thing that needs to be explained first. For example, if a lotus seed is finally auctioned for fifty points, and the bidder only has a purple key, we will not return the extra fourteen points. The rules are just the above. If everyone has no questions, then the auction will officially begin... If you have any questions, please ask within the next ten seconds. The countdown starts now... 1!"

It is not an unacceptable auction method.

With this grading system, it seems that the gap between everyone has been leveled in an instant. Not in terms of the number of keys, but in terms of the delivery rate of keys. For those groups or individuals who were unable to obtain a large number of keys due to their small number of people, but had more than one high-level key, they might not be much worse than those groups with a large number of people and a large number of low-level keys.

Where is the opponent's limit?

But no one knows.

"Ten... Since everyone has no doubts, the auction officially begins! The starting price of the first lotus seed is... 1 point! Start bidding!" Asuma knocked down the gavel in his hand.

"I'll go first... 1 point!"

Unexpectedly, someone had already bid the moment the gavel was knocked down! However, this shout of 1 point made the buyer collect countless strange looks.

But the buyer said nonchalantly: "What are you looking at? Someone has to bid, right? And if none of you bid, this thing will belong to me! So, so-and-so, I've already bid, why the hell don't you count? How much time has passed? Are you still professional?"

"... This gentleman bids a little! A little for the first time!" Asma could only follow the rules at this time, "Anyone else bid? A little for the second time!"

"I'll bid a yellow key!"

"I'll bid a yellow key, plus three red keys!"

"A green key!"

The voice gradually rose... and it got faster and faster.

At this time, a voice came indifferently, "Two purple keys."

It was the first buyer who bid a little more... (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature. The novels are better and updated faster!
