Chapter 166 Holy City Auction House
Hearing someone calling from behind, Long Dangdang and Ling Menglu turned around at the same time. I saw a young man wearing white casual clothes and with short blond hair looking at him with surprise.
This young man is tall and tall, about 1.9 meters tall. He has a handsome appearance, deep blue eyes, a high nose, only his lips are thinner, and his shoulders are broad and his back is broad. At a glance, It can give people a bright feeling.
Menglu was slightly startled when she saw him, but the next moment, a smile appeared on her face, "Brother Zeyu, long time no see!"
Shi Zeyu stepped forward quickly, looked at Ling Menglu and said with a smile: "You have really grown into a big girl. I heard that your class has taken the exam for the Demon Hunting Group in advance?"
Ling Menglu nodded and said, "Yes. Brother Zeyu, I'll give it to you. To introduce, this is my cousin Long Dangdang, who is also a knight. Brother Zeyu is our senior and graduated from our Spirit Furnace Academy and is a guardian knight.”
Shi Zeyu looked at Long Dangdang with some surprise and said: "Hello, hello. Hey, Monroe, I didn't remember that you had this cousin!"
Ling Menglu said: "Dangdang is. My sixth aunt's child. Sixth aunt married far away and did not live in the Holy City before."
Long Dangdang also nodded to Shi Zeyu and said, "Hello, Brother Shi."
< br>
Shi Zeyu smiled and said: "Do you have any bidding goals?"
Ling Menglu said: "I can't tell you what I will do if you take me away?"
Shi Ze Yu laughed and said, "How could I snatch something from you? Whatever you want, I'll just take a photo and give it to you."
Ling Menglu shook her head, "No, no, just don't compete with me. You are a rich man, just don't bully our siblings."
Shi Zeyu laughed and shook his head, saying: "Go in, don't be blocked. It's at the door. Let's sit down when Monroe has time. I miss you after not seeing each other for a long time! Uncle Feng often brought you to our house when we were young."
Ling Menglu said: "You can. Don’t talk nonsense! It’s amazing for my mother to know that she only went there twice, both for official business.”
Shi Zeyu laughed and said, "Don't worry, my aunt has given up on Uncle Feng a long time ago."
It seems that there is a story between Shi Zeyu's family and my grandfather's family! Long Dangdang thought secretly in his heart, and at the same time, he could also feel the eagerness in Shi Zeyu's eyes when he looked at his cousin.
As they spoke, the three of them walked into the auction house. The first thing that comes into view is a huge hall. The entire hall is magnificent and decorated with gold and crystal clear crystals. Entering here, you immediately feel like you have entered another world.
"Would you like to come to my box?" Shi Zeyu asked.
Ling Menglu shook her head and said: "No, I won't bother brother Zeyu."
Shi Zeyu said: "By the way, since you have passed the exam as a demon hunter, There should be a child spirit crystal. Let's add a friend. We have just been promoted to the general level of the Demon Hunting Group, and our permissions have been increased. We can add friends individually without going through group chat, although we can only contact each other when we are in the same city. , but it also saves a lot of trouble.”
Ling Menglu smiled and said: "Congratulations to brother Zeyu for being promoted to the general-level demon hunting group. But we haven't issued the spirit crystal yet. We will wait until it is issued. Moreover, even if it is issued, we are still the lowest level of the demon hunting group, and there should be no What about the permission to add friends? We have different levels and can’t enter a group chat.”
“Look at me.” Shi Zeyu patted his forehead, “Okay. After the auction is over, I will contact you then.”
When Zeyu left, Ling Menglu took Long Dangdang into the auction house through a door on the left, and walked around the corridor to the left for about fifty years. Mi, stopped in front of a double golden door. The name of VIP Room No. 1 is written on the door.
"This is the bidding room that my father usually uses. I told him today that he would lend it to us." Ling Menglu opened the door and entered, and Long Dangdang followed her in.
The light in the room is a bit dark, but the entire front wall is made of transparent glass, so you can see the outside scene. Outside is a huge space, like a stadium, with a circle of seats surrounding it, and a high platform in the center.
Comfortable leather sofas, coffee tables, bathrooms, and some facilities with elemental fluctuations that Longdangdang does not recognize. The floor was covered with thick plush carpet, and the sconces on the surrounding walls emitted a faint light.
Ling Menglu took him to the sofa and sat down. Various refreshments, fruits and drinks were already placed on the coffee table.
“Inside is the main auction room. VIP rooms like ours can bid directly, and the number of the VIP room will not be displayed. The high platform is the auction display platform, and a host will explain the auction items and bid one by one. , the one with the highest price will get it. The VIP card given by dad can give you a 20% discount on the auction price. This is already the lowest discount."
Long Dangdang nodded and said, "We are so far away. What should I do if I can’t see clearly?”
Ling Menglu pointed to the huge glass wall in front and said: "When the bidding starts, there will be a projection of the magic array on the glass wall here, which can clearly present the items. You can also clearly hear the auctioneer's voice. Of course. You can also choose to be isolated. Don't worry, the VIP room is definitely the best treatment."
Long Dangdang smiled and said: "By the way, the man just now is familiar with my grandpa's family. ?”
Ling Menglu glanced at him and said: “I’m quite familiar with it. Shi Zeyu is the legitimate son of the Shi family, and the current head of the Shi family is his father. Although he is the youngest son, he is the most talented. A good one, very valued. He should be at the seventh level. Didn't you hear that he was also a demon hunter and was promoted to the general level demon hunting group? I am still a child. His father is one of the six temples of the Knights Temple, and he is also a Divine Seal Knight who holds the Divine Seal Throne of Fear and Sorrow. He should be the first person under the Master of the Knights Temple. He is also the deputy master of the Knights Temple. The key is that he is still under sixty years old and is said to be a strong contender for the next master.”
After hearing what she said, Long Dangdang understood.
The Knights Temple is the first of the six temples, and the second person in the Knights Temple, whose status is even higher than that of my grandfather. After all, the Priest's Temple ranks relatively low among the six major temples. It is indeed extraordinary to have such a mainstay in the family at this time.
"Why didn't you speak?" Seeing that he remained silent, Ling Menglu couldn't help but asked curiously.
Long Dangdang pretended to be surprised and said: "What are you talking about?"
Ling Menglu couldn't help but feel angry and couldn't help pinching his waist.
“Ouch.” Long Dangdang felt pain, “Why are you pinching me?”
Ling Menglu snorted and said: "Shouldn't you ask more questions at this time?"
Long Dangdang said in surprise: "You have clearly alienated and rejected him, what else do I have to ask? ?"
Ling Menglu glared at him, "No matter, you can't act so calm anyway."
"Okay. Cousin, I think he seems to be a little interested in you. He is attracted by your beauty, and probably also your talent, and he seems very attentive. But with his background and ability, he is probably surrounded by There are a lot of girls out there, so don’t be fooled. An honest person like me is the most reliable!" Long Dangdang said seriously. Ling Menglu chuckled, "Are you reliable? How can you be reliable if you are full of evil intentions?"
Long Dangdang said: "I was just protecting myself. If not, If you are too young to fall in love, I will definitely pursue you. If you wait a few years, will you be able to fall in love at the age of 18? I still have a little more than three years to go."
Ling Menglu blushed, "Whoever wants to fall in love with you is so beautiful."
Long Dangdang smiled and said nothing. The light in the VIP room was already a little dim. The two sat side by side and were fascinated by each other. You can feel the breath of the other person. Perhaps because of her God of Light body, Ling Menglu always had a faint scent of sunshine on her body, which was refreshing and pure, and also had some faint fragrance unique to girls. Sitting next to her like this, Long Dangdang naturally felt a particularly peaceful and warm feeling, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.
At this moment, the glass curtain wall suddenly lit up. To be precise, it was the large auction house outside that lit up.
The filtered voice entered the room, "Welcome all distinguished guests to this auction. We have a total of thirty-two items for bidding today. There are rare medicinal materials, powerful weapons and equipment, and rare items. I hope all the VIPs who came to participate in the auction today will gain something.”
The center of the curtain wall of the VIP room flashed, and a clear picture appeared. Astonishingly, it was the enlarged auction stage.
This was the first time Long Dangdang participated in the auction. He stood up and walked to the window to look out.
At this time, there were about a third of the people sitting in the large auction house. On the auction stage, the person speaking was a man who looked to be in his thirties and wearing formal clothes and looked very gentlemanly.
Perhaps because of the daily auction, there is not too much exaggeration, and the bidding starts directly.
Long Dangdang returned to the sofa and sat down. Ling Menglu told him how to bid. There are special facilities in the VIP room. You can press the increase button to bid, or you can directly enter a new price to bid. . The currency used to participate in the auction is gold coins.
"Now, please bring up our first auction today. I believe everyone is familiar with this auction. As we all know, the blood of Warcraft contains a certain amount of energy, and the energy contained in the blood of different Warcraft is different. Whether it is making magic potions, or It is very suitable for refining the energy in the blood, or as a necessity for food processing. Our first auction today is the fresh blood of the Earth Spinosaurus.”
The auction outside is obvious. There was some uproar. Long Dangdang didn't know why, but Ling Menglu beside him said: "Because the value is relatively low, the items that can usually appear in the Holy City's auction house are relatively expensive."
"Dear guests, don't worry. , Under normal circumstances, the blood of the Earth Spinosaurus does not appear here, but the difference this time is that the Earth Spinosaurus blood we auction is not based on liters, but another unit. The first item on the auction block is a ton of Terrestrial Spinosaurus blood.”
As soon as this was said, the whole place fell silent. Undoubtedly, this first auction item was what Long Dangdang needed. Under the deliberate arrangement of his uncle, he was the first one to appear.
“Although an adult Spinosaurus weighs more than three thousand kilograms, the heaviest Spinosaurus can even reach eight thousand kilograms. But even with all the blood of a Spinosaurus, it only weighs a few hundred kilograms. . This ton of fresh blood from the Earth Spinosaurus requires thirty Earth Spinosaurus to collect. The starting price is five thousand gold coins, and the price increases each time. At one hundred gold coins. Let’s start now.”
Long Dangdang was about to increase the price, but Ling Menglu held her hand down, “Wait and see, don’t rush to increase the price. It’s best to bid in the auction. The price will be the lowest if no one cares about it. We can’t spend money randomly.”
"Five thousand gold coins, okay. This distinguished guest bids five thousand gold coins."
"Five thousand one hundred gold coins."
"Five thousand two hundred..."
The quantity of one ton seemed very attractive, and the bidding price continued to rise. In just a short while, it had exceeded seven thousand gold coins, and it was still rising slowly.
Long Dangdang participated in the auction for the first time and became a little nervous unconsciously.
Ling Menglu chuckled and said: "Your hands are a little cold. I thought you were not nervous about anything."
Long Dangdang looked down and realized that Ling Menglu's hand was still on the back of her hand. As she said, her hand was a little cold due to nervousness, but her slender palm was feeling warm. This also made his heart feel a little warm, and he subconsciously turned his palm to hold her hand.
Ling Menglu stiffened and did not look at him, but Long Dangdang could clearly feel that her originally warm little hands were getting cold quickly.
“Cousin, why are your hands cold too?”
"Humph!" Ling Menglu twitched her hand, but it was held tightly by Long Dangdang and could not pull it out.
Although the light in the room was dim, Long Dangdang could still see the obvious blush on her pretty face, which could be vaguely seen through the veil.
Although I’m not old enough to fall in love, just holding hands doesn’t count as falling in love, right?
"Eight thousand gold coins!" the auctioneer's voice continued.
"Eight thousand five hundred gold coins." Long Dangdang bid.
“Eight thousand six hundred gold coins.”
"Nine thousand gold coins." Long Dangdang bid again.
"Nine thousand one hundred gold coins."
"Ten thousand gold coins!" When Long Dangdang reported the price, his originally cold hands began to feel a little warm.
Ling Menglu turned to look at him. Although ten thousand gold coins was not a lot, Long Dangdang was not yet fifteen years old after all. But when she saw his calm profile, she knew that he did not quote this price because he was being taken advantage of. .
“Ten thousand gold coins, the first time!”
“Ten thousand gold coins, the second time!”
"Ten thousand gold coins, the third time, the deal is done!"
