Chapter 18 East India Auctions
Xia Zuo wanted to improve his natural divine power, so the key to practicing the "Blood Holy Demonic Classic" and practicing the first level of "Blood Holy Demonic Classic" is in addition to the three kinds of blood, the most important Blood Demon Stone.
Blood Demon Stone has always been the favorite of humans, and other intelligent races are second to other because although humans have strong growth potential, their natural physical attributes are not as good as other races and are very fragile.
As long as the Blood Demon Stone is worn on the host, the host can have the magical ability to not lose blood after being injured. This is just one of them. Secondly, the Blood Demon Stone can promote wound healing, and the most ordinary Blood Demon Stone can also increase the wound healing speed of ordinary humans by three times.
Therefore, the Blood Demon Stone has been popular among humans, which is also the reason why the Blood Demon Stone is always sold at sky-high prices. There is never a shortage of rich people among humans.
Lei originally only needed 120,000 gold coins, but Xia Zuo asked for 300,000. This is the reason. He had already predicted that the price of the Blood Demon Stone would be outrageous, but he didn't expect that it would be so outrageous. Ten thousand gold coins were just the lowest price.
"When will the auction start?" Xia Zuo asked with his head raised.
"Two days later, at the underground auction house in the East India Auction House, what? Master Xia Zuo is interested?" Billy smiled.
"Well, can I go?" Xia Zuo asked directly without covering up.
"This... this auction is not open to the public. Only those who hold invitations can enter the auction hall. However, if Master Xia Zuo really wants to go, I can find a way to get the invitation for you." Billy said.
"Then please, I will come to you again the night after tomorrow." Xia Zuo said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I can arrange for a metal supplier to meet you at that time." Billy smiled.
Time gradually moved to the second half of the night. After Xia Zuo left the grocery store, he parted with Lei.
Lei returned directly to the college's wooden house, while Xia Zuo came to the famous consumption cave in British City - Thorn Flower Bar.
On the third floor of the bar, the waiter enthusiastically opened the door for Xia Zuo.
In the room, a woman stood in a nightgown in a nightgown, looking out at the night of British City, and gently shook her white hand holding a red wine glass.
Xia Zuo entered the room, and the waiter closed the door outside the door. The woman by the window raised her hand and pulled the curtains. Her body disappeared in the original place. The next moment, she appeared in Xia Zuo's arms like a ghost, and her arms curled around Xia Zuo's neck.
"Dear, why did you come?" Eve said coquettishly.
"Do you miss me?" Xia Zuo smiled slightly, grabbed Eve's buttocks with his hands, and lifted them hard.
"Of course, I can't wait."
"What can't wait?"
“I can’t wait.”
As the two of them talked, they hugged each other and rolled onto the bed...
An hour later, Eve walked out of the bathroom, got into bed, and got naked into Xia Zuo's arms.
It was already very late. Xia Zuo, who had just finished the battle, was a little tired. He touched Eve's smooth back with his hands and asked casually: "What's your ability just now? The fast one is very magical."
"Shadow Escape, a very special fighting technique..."
"oh……"
Xia Zuo just asked casually, and after hearing the name, he lost interest.
Two days later, the East India Underground Auction.
The East India Underground Horse Race Farm is affiliated with the British East India Company. Although it is known as the British, it is actually because of the indulgence of the British Empire that granted the East India Company the right to maintain military autonomy and even expand, which led to the rapid expansion of the East India Company. Its territory and a large population in India. The marine fleet has strong military power and has its own colonies in many parts of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Its power is no less than that of a medium-sized country. It is already vaguely about to get rid of the control of the British Empire.
Of course, because both parties have never broken up, the British East India Company is still a private enterprise specially authorized by the Queen, so in the British city, the East India Auction House is legal and protected by the British government.
Therefore, although you cannot bring too many guards in an underground auction hall, you definitely don’t need to worry about safety.
At night, Shazzo received the invitation from Billy and went to the underground auction house with Billy.
The rules of underground auction houses are that every guest holding an invitation can bring another person to the venue, either to guard or to family members.
Billy brought a guard that Shazzo had never seen before, a black man nearly two meters tall and unknown strength.
Billy introduced that this man was a slave he bought two years ago, named Luso, a "black mine warrior" with the strength of a senior fighter, and usually works as a guard in the factory.
"This is..." Billy looked at the woman beside Xia Zuo with noble temperament but wild face.
"Eve, my friend." Xia Zuo introduced.
"Hello!" Eve smiled, holding Xia Zuo's arm in his left hand, and stretched out his right hand to Billy.
Billy immediately held the crystal-like fingertips, leaned over and kissed Eve gently on the back of his hand, "I'm glad to see you, noble lady?"
At the entrance of the underground horse racing field, many people stopped and looked thoughtful. Many eyes fell on Xia Zuo, who was dressed in mysterious ways. They were all wondering, who could be treated like this by Billy, the largest arms dealer in the UK.
A royal family?
The identity of Billy's arms dealers is not mysterious. None of these dignitaries do not know about it. Although Billy's business is illegal, he once sold arms to people from the British government. Not everyone can have this courage and courage.
"Sir, you are so polite." Eve smiled pursed her lips, and her charm was highlighted.
"The time is almost over, let's go in." Xia Zuo said.
As the few people spoke, they slowly walked inside.
After presenting the invitation, passing through the passage, four people entered the underground auction hall. The area was large, but not many but very few, only two hundred. However, around the auction hall, there were more than a dozen private rooms on the second floor, each of which could accommodate more than a dozen people.
This is a private room for the great nobles. If you are not a great noble, you will not be able to get there even if you have no money.
Billy took Xia Zuo to the middle position as the first row, with four seats. Four people sat in one after another. Xia Zuo and Billy sat in the middle.
As a civilian, Billy's status has basically reached its peak. What he has to work hard now is to obtain the title of aristocratic in addition to making money. However, this is difficult. Only those who have made great contributions to the country will be given the status of aristocratic by the queen.
Half an hour later, the auction hall was gradually filled with guests. Some looked as mysterious as Xia Zuo, while others did not need to be covered. Most of them were little nobles, wearing solemn aristocratic uniforms and carrying charming women around them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for your visit. I am Vay..." The auctioneer with a slightly bigger belly and a fat and humorous look made a grand appearance. As the lights came to the stage, he said some nonsense without nutrition.
"Okay, let's not say more. I think you have already seen today's auction list. There are thirty items sold today. Here are the first ones you want to buy."
The maid walked up to the stage with a long box in her hand, opened the box, and displayed the items inside to the guests.
"The refined Western sword is created by our famous British City caster Kenny. The base price is 1,000 gold coins. Each increase must not be less than 500 yuan. Is there any bid? Well, Mr. No. 76 bids 1,000..."
"Very good... This gentleman No. 130 has bid two thousand..."
The boring auction process, at least for Xia Zuo, he didn't care about who took the auction items in front. The only thing he cared about was the Blood Demon Stone, the No. 23 auction item.
However, in this auction, Xia Zuo also opened his eyes because he found that everything seemed to be auctioned.
Stones, herbs, alchemy products, beautiful slaves, monsters, tableware circulated by royal families in other countries... etc. Some things are indeed very practical, but some things... Xia Zuo can only say that these people have money but nowhere to spend them.
Three hours later.
"The deal is completed, congratulations to this gentleman for winning the No. 22 auction item."
"Okay, please invite the auction item No. 23..."
With the voice of the auctioneer Wai, the maid walked onto the stage with the exquisite box in her arms, placed the box on the auction table, slowly opened it, revealing the blood magic stone inside that was less than the size of a human eye.
Xia Zuo, who was already drowsy, suddenly became energetic and opened his eyes and looked over.
The Blood Demon Stone is completely black, with a slightly pothole on the surface, not reflective, and is as dark as an item in the dark world.
"I don't tell you the effect of the Blood Demon Stone. Everyone knows it. There is no nonsense. The minimum price is 10,000 yuan. Each price increase must not be less than one thousand. Below, bidding will start!"
"Ten thousand!"
"Five thousand!"
"Ten eight thousand!"
The bidding for the Blood Demon Stone is much more intense than the items in front. Many people actually come to this Blood Demon Stone. With the Blood Demon Stone, unless the heart or head is seriously damaged, no matter how serious the injury is, it will not be lost.
Wars have continued these days, and tens of thousands of people die in the world every day due to war. They can guarantee their lives more. This kind of value is something that ordinary people can hope for.
"Twenty thousand!"
"Thirty thousand!"
"fifty thousand!"
"Eighty thousand!"
The auction price has been rising all the way. When it rose to 50,000, someone suddenly made a bid and suddenly raised the price to 80,000.
At this moment, a brief silence appeared in the auction hall, and no one offered for a while. This was not only the reason why the price was already very high, but more importantly, the bidding sound of 80,000 yuan came from the private room on the second floor.
What the great nobles want is difficult to compete in financial terms, not to mention that if the price is raised too high and annoyed the other party, it will be more than worth the loss.
"Is there any? Is there any?" Vay continued to incite the guests to bid.
There were hundreds of items in the auction hall, and many people looked at the box above, and some people shook their heads. If the guests of the box did not bid, they could still compete and there was room for bidding, but now... hey!
Room No. 3 on the second floor.
Nandi, the leader of the Legion of Glory, stood by the window and looked down, smiling with satisfaction.
"Father, it seems that you can buy this Blood Demon Stone with 80,000 gold coins. I also want the remaining money for auction No. 25." Nandi turned around and said.
On the animal leather sofa, the British City Sheriff Earl Acheson tasted the red wine. When he heard his son's question, he put down his glass and nodded: "Yes, but you can only spend 200,000 at most. I will still have to take a picture of the last thing for the remaining money."
"Don't worry, my father can't use 200,000 yuan. Once we bid, they dare not give it." Nandi smiled.
"Are there any bids? Is there really no one? Eighty thousand gold coins per time!" Vay continued to encourage, feeling a little disappointed. The price of 80 thousand gold coins seemed to be low in his opinion.
"Twice 80,000 gold coins! Is it really gone?"
"Eighty thousand one!" Xia Zuo slowly raised the sign.
Chapter completed!
