Chapter 121: The Conspiracy of the Star Luo Empire
“Today, we will present nine precious auction items to our distinguished guests. We will display them to you in order of their value from low to high. I hope you will like them.”
On the soul guide screen, an auction stage filled with light mist appeared, looking fairy-like.
In the middle of the platform, stood a beautiful and elegant girl in a red dress.
“Hello distinguished guests, I am today’s auctioneer Jiujiu, and I am honored to host this auction. Your time is valuable, and the auction begins now. Now, please appreciate today’s first lot. .”
He smiled sweetly for a long time and performed a very complicated etiquette. Suddenly, an item appeared on the soul guide screen next to her.
"How come today's auctioneers have such an elegant temperament and such a good figure? This kind of woman is called a woman, Fang Yuan, don't you think so?" Xiao Hongchen winked at Huo Yuhao.
Before Huo Yuhao could speak, he felt a biting chill around him again, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Haha, Xiao Hongchen, you have really good taste, but you mean, I'm not a woman, right?" Meng Hongchen asked with a smile.
Xiao Hongchen’s face changed wildly, and he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and explained shakily: “Meng, this auctioneer looks very old, but he has a slight age advantage. You are much younger than her. In a few years, she will be an old woman, and you will definitely still have a bright future.”
Huo Yuhao's eyes swept across Meng Hongchen's chest without leaving any trace.
Well, I can only say that the word "promising future" is used very well.
“Humph” Meng Hongchen snorted coldly, turning his head and not bothering to talk to Xiao Hongchen.
"Ahem" Huo Yuhao coughed lightly and came out to smooth things over.
"What this auctioneer just performed seems to be the court etiquette of the Star Luo Empire. He is probably not an ordinary auctioneer. Could it be that he is a member of the royal family of the Star Luo Empire?"
Qingya was a little surprised. He glanced at Huo Yuhao and said, "This distinguished guest has good eyesight. Auctioneer Jiujiu is the chief auctioneer of our Xingluo Auction House, and she is also the youngest sister of His Majesty the current emperor. According to the rules, we actually have to call her Jiujiu. Your Highness."
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, and at the same time, they had an incredible feeling. The princess of a country actually came to be the auctioneer herself?
While being surprised, everyone’s eyes were also attracted by the No. 1 auction item that appeared on the screen, and the voice of Princess Jiujiu also came:
“Demon Soul Refining Knife. An eighth-level near-body soul guide made of extremely precious materials. The main material is a right arm bone from a ten thousand year Tyrant Tiger soul beast, which has a soul skill of Tyrant Sword Slash, which can also increase the attack of similar soul skills. Fifty percent of the power."
"Dear guests, please note that when attacking, this Tyrannical Tiger Soul Refining Knife can have a Tyrant Sword Slashing effect, and its effect can be compared with similar attacks on souls. Skills are superimposed, and under the influence of its core soul guidance array, the soul power consumed is only one-third of normal conditions.”
"Finally, this sword is produced by the Mingde Hall of the Sun and Moon Empire. It is produced by Mingde Hall. It must be a high-quality product. With it, it is no longer impossible for the Seven-ringed Soul Saint to leapfrog and challenge Contra. Watch it. Five minutes.”
Everyone in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Team was stunned.
Good guys, let’s do it in person, right? Let’s sell our Sun and Moon’s soul guides at your Star Luo’s top auction.
You want us, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, to pay to buy it back, and you will just make the difference?
Exports have been switched to domestic sales.
Xiao Hongchen’s face turned dark immediately.
When could Mingdetang’s eighth-level soul guide be so upright and exiled to the Star Luo Empire?
Although it is only a near-body soul guide, the eighth-level soul guide is a very precious controlled material even in Mingde Hall. Since the Star Luo royal family is willing to put it up for auction so generously, the same type of soul guide is How many level eight soul tools they have left is very intriguing.
“It’s time to watch the Tyrant Soul Refining Knife. The starting price is 600,000 gold soul coins. Each bid increase must not be less than 5,000 gold soul coins. If no one increases the bid within one minute, the auction will be completed!”
The screen changed to a faint white color, and a huge number of six hundred thousand appeared on the screen.
Although this Tyrannical Tiger Soul Refining Knife is of good quality, the members of the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy are not interested in being wronged and paying to recycle it.
It is impossible to make a fuss on the spot. This is the territory of the Star Luo Empire.
What's more, it's just an eighth-level near-body soul guide, so it's not enough to do this.
Huo Yuhao remembers that this thing was bought by Dai Yueheng in the original work, but due to the change in the causal line, Dai Yueheng, Ma Xiaotao and other three Shrek main players just disappeared from the world. Present at this auction.
In the end, this eighth-level soul guide was bought by an unknown force for two million gold soul coins.
Princess Jiujiu, who was dressed in a red dress, appeared on the screen again, saluted with a smile and said: "Thank you to the distinguished guests who bought the Tyrannical Soul Refining Knife for supporting this auction. Next, we will start the second set. Although the auction items are one-time consumables, they are very rare. Dear guests, please take a look."
After finishing his words, the soul guide screen was suddenly divided into twelve areas, with the appearance of the items in each area. All somewhat similar.
These twelve items are all cylinders, one side is tapered and the other side is round, the shape is the same, the only difference is the color.
“Fixed soul-guided cannonballs!” The members of the Sun-Moon Royal Soul Engineer Team blurted out, their voices full of shock.
Xiao Hongchen suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief.
Princess Jiujiu's voice echoed in the room:
"These twelve fixed soul-guided cannonballs are also produced by Mingdetang, and we collected them with great difficulty. Each of them has different effects. , if used properly, can even threaten Contra's life."
"If measured by the level of soul guides, each of them is equivalent to at least six level soul guides, twelve. Each has different attributes. It requires at least a level 6 fixed soul cannon to launch. If you need to fire continuously, you need a level 7 or above fixed soul cannon. The appreciation time is five minutes."
One time. , everyone in the box fell into silence, frowning slightly.
"Even this kind of strategic weapon can be leaked to the Star Luo Empire. Is there a mole inside Mingde Hall?" Xiao Hongchen murmured in disbelief.
“Be careful!” Mr. Ma shouted softly.
Actually, Xiao Hongchen was just saying what everyone present was thinking. These twelve fixed-pack soul-guiding artillery shells seemed to be just twelve level-6 soul-guiding artillery shells, but as a weapon on the battlefield, Weapons of mass destruction should be strictly controlled by Mingdetang and the Sun and Moon Empire military.
The ability to flow out to enemy countries means that there is something wrong within the Sun and Moon Empire itself.
Huo Yuhao said nothing. At this time, it is best to remain silent. He has no interest in intervening in the internal affairs of the Sun and Moon Empire. To put it bluntly, the top brass of the Sun and Moon Empire are not interested in this. How could Shidu possibly trust him. At the same time, Huo Yuhao also had some thoughts in his mind. By putting this strategic weapon with obvious political leanings up for auction at such a top-level auction, the Star Luo Empire was undoubtedly releasing a message to all the forces participating in the auction. Send a signal.
As if to say, the Sun and Moon Empire is not monolithic.
Second, it can also plant a seed of doubt in the hearts of everyone in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
When the competition is over, the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Team will spread the news back to the country, which may even trigger a civil strife between Mingdetang and the Sun and Moon Empire army.
A complete conspiracy.
When the appreciation time came, a long-awaited voice sounded again: "Dear guests, this set of custom-made soul-guided cannonballs is very complete. Even Mingdetang himself wants to put together such a complete set of custom-made cannonballs. It’s not easy to install soul-guided cannonballs. It’s worth every penny whether you collect it or use it.”
“The starting price is 650,000 gold soul coins!”
In the end, Japan. The Moon Royal Soul Mentor Team also did not participate in the bidding, and this set of custom-made soul guidance shells was still won by other forces.
The reason for not participating in the bidding is very simple. The Star Luo royal family can put these six-level custom-installed soul-guided artillery shells up for bidding, which shows that they have learned something from them, and there is no point in bidding them back.
Since the technology has been leaked, there is nothing to say. The Sun and Moon Empire will just accept it.
It’s just a level six custom-installed soul-guided artillery shell, and the Sun and Moon Empire can actually accept it.
Each additional level of custom-installed soul-guided artillery shells required technological growth that could not be achieved in just three to five years.
Perhaps the six-level custom-installed soul cannon is already considered a high-end weapon for the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
But for the Sun and Moon Empire, it is far from reaching the high-end ranks, and at most it is the level of mid-range weapons.
And what happens even if it is cracked? The weapons manufacturing level of the Douluo Three Kingdoms is also vastly different from that of the Sun and Moon Empire.
The complete and huge soul guidance industrial system and the ability to produce soul guidance weapons in large quantities in a short period of time are the confidence that the Sun and Moon Empire can be proud of the Douluo Three Kingdoms.
But even so, Xiao Hongchen still complained unhappily: "When the competition is over and I return to China, I will definitely file a complaint with my grandfather and thoroughly investigate the spies and traitors in the academy."
Qing Ya remained silent on the sidelines, secretly regretting that she should not have come to receive the guests from the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
The subsequent auctions included three more soul bones, a piece of rare metal and a level 8 long-range attack soul guide.
This auction is also worthy of the name of a top auction, and the prices of the exhibited items once reached a high price of nearly 10 million gold soul coins.
Huo Yuhao and his party were also in awe.
Just when the atmosphere of the auction reached its climax, Xu Jiujiu's figure appeared on the soul guide screen again and said with a smile: "Dear guests, the next two auction items will be the highlight of today. I believe you will be interested. , I can guarantee that there will be no second piece in the entire continent. For example, our eighth auction item is a unique soul bone. Everyone, please look at the big screen.”
There was a flash of light and shadow, and a soul bone that was magnified many times appeared on the soul guidance display.
This soul bone is turquoise in color, and a turquoise halo flows and fluctuates on it, as if it contains turquoise liquid.
This is a left arm soul bone, exuding a faint white mist. On its surface, there are small crystals, like crystal clear gems. The three soul bones that appeared before The bones suddenly pale in comparison.
Huo Yuhao thought. The moment this soul bone appeared, he felt a very close aura from it.
"This, this is."
"Asshole!"
Tian Meng's voice of surprise and Ice Emperor's furious voice sounded simultaneously in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
In the sea of spirits, the Ice Emperor said angrily: "Bastard, bastard, these damn humans have reached out to our far north."
Huo Yuhao asked: "The Ice Emperor , I feel a warm feeling on this soul bone. Is this the soul bone left by your tribe?”
The Ice Emperor said angrily: "Yes, this is the soul bone left by our Ice Jade Scorpion clan. Judging from its age, it should be 70,000 years old. Damn humans, dare to kill my clan members."
“Yu Hao, if you can, try to get this soul bone. I don’t want the soul bones of my people to fall into the hands of other humans. Also, I can feel that this soul bone contains our A very special soul skill of the Ice Jade Scorpion clan, the Ice Explosion Technique."
"Fusing this soul bone and using it in conjunction with the several soul skills I brought you will be of great benefit to you! ”
At this moment, Xu Jiujiu on the stage continued to introduce how precious this soul bone was. Her mood was very exciting, which involuntarily aroused the interest of those who were paying attention to the auction.
Xu Jiujiu talked endlessly about the many advantages and characteristics of this soul bone, and mentioned one sentence at the end.
"Dear guests, please note that the attribute of this soul bone is ice, so the soul master who fuses it must also have the ice attribute. If a soul master who is not suitable for it chooses to forcibly fuse it, it will endanger his own life. Dear guests, please be careful.”
“But on the other hand, it is not without its benefits. The ice jade scorpion is a very special soul beast. It lives in the far north and its ice attributes are very powerful. , so if a qualified ice attribute soul master fuses it, there is even a certain probability that his ice attribute can be improved."
The Ice Emperor couldn't help but listen to the introduction for a long time in the sea of spirit. He sneered and said: "Haha, ignorant, what she said is simply wrong."
"Fusing this soul bone, the soul master cannot improve his own ice attribute. To absorb this soul bone, he must have It is possible only with the ultimate ice. This is the pride of our Ice Jade Scorpion clan. If others dare to fuse at will, they are seeking death!"
Huo Yuhao was a little entangled at this time. The current problem is how to convince Meng. The world of mortals gives up this soul bone.
You know, Meng Hongchen is also an ice attribute, and he is also very eager to improve his ice attribute to solve the shortcomings of his martial soul.
He turned to look at Meng Hongchen, only to find that her mind had been completely grasped by this extremely precious soul bone, and her attention was entirely focused on this soul bone.
This is a bit difficult to handle.
"Fang Yuan, isn't this soul bone tailor-made for you? I have decided to buy it and give it to you."
“Huh?”
Huo Yuhao was stunned and turned to look at the girl beside him in disbelief.
