Chapter 123 The auction begins! (3.1k)
At the same time, in a small manor close to the academy tower, which looked a bit more luxurious than the second-class apprentice sea-view villa where Yihua lived.
Melkor, who has black hair and red eyes, is tall and thin, and has a cold face, is conveying his orders with his back to the bloody hand.
"Now the auction is about to begin. I have something important to do, so I need you to participate on my behalf! You must collect the few materials I need. If Rey, Yihua and others participate, you must stop them with all your strength and don't let them take the auction. If you get the items you want, at least let them bleed profusely!"
Hearing Melkor's order, Xue Hand's eyes flickered slightly, and he was about to respond, but Melkor said again:
"That loser Sass, with nearly half of the second-class people in the meeting. The apprentice died in the underground drainage pipe. If we don't respond, it will only arouse the suspicion of other apprentices. Therefore, we must express our position to the outside world and reveal that the second-class apprentices such as Insas are missing, which will increase the hostility with the Silver Star Society! "
Hearing the reason why Melkor blocked Yihua and others at the auction house, a look of surprise flashed in Bloodhand's heart. Seeing that Melkor stopped talking, he quickly responded: "As you command, Lord Melkor!" As for Sars
,
Bloodhand The palm of his hand actually held a dismissive attitude.
In his opinion, the other party was just a chess piece used to disguise himself and Melkor, and he had no idea of Melkor's true plan.
Compared to Sass, who came from behind, Bloodhand's real strength far exceeds Sass, and Melkor, who is also a blood warlock, values him more.
At best, Sass could barely contend with the third-class apprentices, but with his bloodline talent, Xue Hand could even win against the ordinary third-class apprentices in the academy!
After a while, Bloodhand left with an auction list that Melkor gave him.
It contains a large number of auction items that Melkor needs, and the soul-melting potion that Yihua is bound to get is among them.
——In
the next few days, Yihua's schedule is extremely tight.
The first is the daily meditation and practice of Knight's Breathing.
The next step is to make light therapy scrolls and create magic crystals.
Then go to the world of death to enslave more fearful shadows, harvest the wheat of the dead, and at the same time exercise and improve your proficiency in some witchcraft.
In this process, time flew by quickly, and soon it was time for the auction to be held.
In the evening, Yihua finished his practice for the day and called up the attribute panel that looked like an ancient golden scroll -
"Name: Yihua Fersis"
"Karma Level: Neutral Good (52/100)"
"Realm: Second Class Necromancer Apprentice (55/60 runes), Earth Knight (13/100)"
"Wizard qualifications: fourth-level life affinity (57/79), third-level death affinity (24/39), third-level soul affinity And (20/39)..."
"Skills: Intermediate Scroll Production (8/100), Intermediate Demonized Crystal Enchantment (2/100)" "
Witchcraft: Third-level Holy Light (31/100), Second-level Life Armor (82/100), second-level soul recuperation (23/100), second-level death world travel (46/100), third-level undead enslavement (78/100), third-level summoning of the undead (55/100), second-level Breath of Death (12/100)"
"Merit value: 62"
In just a few days, Yihua relied on a large amount of dead soul wheat to condense a rune again, and became one step closer to becoming a third-class apprentice. .
At the same time, he also spent nearly 20 points of merit to upgrade the soul affinity to the third level and the demonized crystal enchantment to the intermediate level.
Although due to the death of a large number of apprentices, the merit points Yihua received from his apprentices every day were reduced by a few points.
But Yihua's behavior of spreading the Illuminati among mortals in Camilla City still brought him a lot of gains.
Now he has more than ten points of merit points in his account every day. At this stage, the income of merit points has exceeded the speed of consumption.
"Calculating the time, it's almost time. Let's go to the auction."
Yihua looked at the mechanical clock hanging on the wall. After taking Wu Jing with him, he hurriedly faced the dark blue sky that was not yet completely dark. Auction towards the tower.
When Yihua arrived, there was already a long queue in front of the nearly five-story circular auction venue.
The surrounding area was full of bustling apprentices of different levels.
According to the guidelines, Yihua was ranked among the second-class apprentices.
Yihua has the physique of an earth knight, and the noisy chatter around him clearly entered Yihua's ears.
"Senior Brother Levi, the apprentices who come to participate in the auction seem to be no more than fourth-level wizards? Aren't those fifth-level instructors coming?" A young apprentice sounded confused, and soon a
more mature apprentice explained. Said:
"This is natural. The treasures brought by the merchant fleet will first go to the hands of the fifth-level instructors at the top. The things at the college auction are actually just the garbage left by those adults." "Garbage.
" ? Unexpectedly, in our eyes, extremely precious secret treasures, in the eyes of such beings, are just some leftover garbage?!"
Amidst the noisy sounds, Yihua quickly reached the front of the queue.
The person in charge of the reception was a third-class apprentice who was about thirty or forty years old. Seeing Yi Hua coming forward, the third-class apprentice said bluntly: "To enter the auction, you
need to prove that your assets are more than one hundred witch crystals. Can you prove it?"
Yihua nodded after hearing the other party's formulaic question.
Seeing Yi Hua nodding, the third-class apprentice who was responsible for the reception responded:
"Well, for privacy reasons, you can go to that room to verify."
After that, the third-class apprentice pointed to a dozen meters away. A makeshift tent.
At the same time, a second-class apprentice came out of the tent, seemingly having just completed an inspection.
Following the guidance, Yihua walked directly into the tent.
The tent was brightly lit, and in the center sat a young female apprentice with an average appearance, curly blond hair, and who looked to be in her twenties.
Seeing Yihua walking in, the female apprentice didn't hesitate.
"The secret treasures in the auction are divided into three levels. In order to prevent malicious bidding, you need an auction certificate of the corresponding level to bid."
Hearing the blond female apprentice pause slightly, Yihua did not interrupt. After a while, the female apprentice casually said:
" A low-level certificate requires assets of one hundred witch crystals, a medium certificate requires 500 witch crystals, and a high-level certificate requires one thousand witch crystals. Which level of certificate do you want to exchange for?" Yi Hua, who had seen the auction list before, had already expected this
. .
Among the items he wanted to bid for, the half-dead witch body and the third-level demonized crystal were medium-level secret treasures, while the soul-melting potion was a high-level secret treasure.
Therefore, if Yihua wants to bid for the spirit-melting potion, he must spend a thousand witch crystals in exchange for high-level certificates.
"I would like to exchange for an advanced certificate. Is this okay?"
Without much hesitation, Yi Hua directly took out ten high-level witch crystals worth one thousand witch crystals.
Seeing this scene in front of her, the blonde female apprentice who originally looked bored opened her eyes, opened her pink lips slightly, and said with surprise: "Yes, it's okay." In fact, most ordinary second-class
apprentices
only have The accumulation of dozens of witch crystals, even though they gained a lot during the defense of the city, most of the accumulation did not exceed a hundred.
Previously, the female apprentice had verified hundreds of apprentices who wanted to enter the auction, and most of the second-class apprentices could only produce a hundred witch crystals in exchange for the lowest certificate.
However, the savings of these apprentices are already considered outstanding among second-class apprentices.
Ordinary third-class apprentices only have the savings of a hundred witch crystals. Most third-class apprentices can only exchange for low-level certificates, and only a few can exchange for medium-level certificates. As for high-level certificates, in the experience of female apprentices, almost only fourth-class apprentices can Can be exchanged.
Without any delay, the female apprentice took out a golden badge in the shape of a witch crystal and handed it to Yi Hua. She also sighed: "I didn't expect that in just a
short moment, I would meet two second-class apprentices who could exchange for advanced certificates... ..."
Upon hearing the female apprentice's words, Yihua's eyes flashed slightly.
In his opinion, it is not surprising that Rey and Melkor, as the presidents of two forces, can exchange for high-level certificates.
However, Rey has been promoted to the third class, and it is said that Melkor also received the bronze badge of the third class apprentice after returning to the academy.
The female apprentice was obviously not talking about these two people.
Could it be that the academy is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there are other apprentices who have accumulated thousands of witch crystals in the second-level stage?
Out of wary of competitors, Yihua tried to ask.
However, the blonde female apprentice did not disclose the other party's identity information out of confidentiality.
To today's Yihua, a few witch crystals are no longer worth mentioning.
Although the auction prohibited female apprentices from revealing information about participants, they did not sign a wizarding contract.
Rules are dead, people are alive.
With a flexible mind, he tried to take out three witch crystals and handed them to the female apprentice.
"Can you be accommodating?"
Seeing the female apprentice frowning, Yi Hua took out two more witch crystals.
This time, the female apprentice's brows finally relaxed.
She looked around and saw that there was no one else around, then she leaned into Yihua's ear and whispered: "
That is a short-haired apprentice with red hair who looks about twenty years old and is strong. He wears a uniform on his chest. The association’s scarlet vertical pupil badge.”
After hearing the female apprentice’s description, Yihua quickly matched the identity of the other party with Bloody Hand Nok, who was the vice-president of the Freemasonry.
With the idea of asking both of them, Yihua then asked Melkor and Rey if they had entered the auction.
As a result, the latter received a positive answer from the female apprentice, but the former received a negative answer from the other party.
After the inquiry, Yihua left the tent with his high-level certificate and walked into the auction venue.
As he walked, his thoughts were racing.
"Bloodhand shouldn't have the savings of a thousand witch crystals, but Melkor didn't come. Could it be that he was bidding on Melkor's behalf? So what is Melkor doing now? Why did Rey come, but he didn't?" On weekdays,
Mirkor Kou and Rey are in tit-for-tat, and there are many secret treasures in the auction. Even with the idea of preventing Rey from obtaining his favorite secret treasure and increasing his strength, Melkor should participate in the auction.
In Yihua's view, since Bloodhand took Melkor's place in the auction, Melkor would most likely not come to participate again.
Melkor's actions have always been unpredictable, giving Yihua a deeply hidden and extremely dangerous aura.
Yihua, who was thoughtful and highly wary of Melkor, decided to contact Nairn after attending the auction to inquire about Melkor's movements.
