From their words just now, the novices already knew that Chu Qi was the potionist who made Wick and others jump up to the stairs. The news made them overjoyed. They tried their best to curry favor with Chu Qi and kept toasting Chu Qi. They quickly made Chu Qi a little dizzy and could not tell the difference between the east, south, west and north. It was Wick that drove them away to avoid Chu Qi from getting under the table on the spot.
Chu Qi asked in a drunken way, "Brother Wick, why are you here?"
Wick laughed happily, "The headquarters called us to gather in the Sodom Empire. I heard that we were going to enter the Sunset Forest. But it was not confirmed yet. I was idle. I thought of walking around the streets, so we came out. I heard that the Ogra auction house was going to hold an auction in the afternoon. Let's go see it. This Ogra auction house is very famous on Big 6. Every country has their chain stores. In a metropolis like Zieg City, the auction items will not be bad, so we plan to see it."
Chu Qi felt interesting. This was the first time he knew there were chain companies here. It seemed that this person from another world was not stupid either! "Okay, I will go and see with you later." Chu Qi said with a smile.
"No problem, we will go after dinner. It's not time for auction anyway." Wick said with a laugh, as if he didn't know Chu Qi's current identity at all.
Several people swept the clouds and quickly settled the sumptuous lunch. Alice, who had always been generous, rarely showed her ladylike demeanor. She tasted so gentle. Gris couldn't help but muttered a few words, but was frightened by Alice's fierce eyes and swallowed the words back.
Deliberately distanced himself from a few people, Wick and Chuqi walked side by side in front, Wick asked in a low voice: "I heard you are an opponent of the Holy See of Light?"
Chu Qi's drunkenness had dissipated. He looked at Wick calmly and said, "Yes, I can't stand the face of the Holy See. I hate such a hypocritical guy the most, and that god. I have no favor to him at all. Are you afraid that I will cause you trouble? I can leave immediately."
Wick heard such a remark from Chu Qi for the first time, and was shocked in his heart, but said with a wry smile: "Chu Qi, do you think we are like this? Not to mention that we have all received your favor. If we had not been for you, we would have died long ago and would not have achieved such a achievement. Although I do not agree with your remarks very much, we are still friends. I will not betray my friends because of fear."
Chu Qi was slightly moved, and he said in a low voice: "Thank you, Brother Wick. Because we are friends, I don't want to implicate you. When the auction is over, we will break up."
Wick looked at Chu Qi in surprise and asked, "Then where are you going?"
"Haha, it doesn't matter where I go alone. It's not that easy for the Holy See to arrest me." Chu Qi said with a smile.
Wick definitely believed Chu Qi's words. Although Chu Qi was just a rookie who knew nothing when he first met Chu Qi, the identity of the ninth-level monster and potionist beside him, as well as the news that he successfully defeated two combat priests can prove that Chu Qi has reached an unsurpassable height now.
"Chu Qi, it's not that I'm afraid of being implicated. I'm still a mercenary of the War Fire Group. I can't cause trouble to the War Fire Group because of my personal affair. And we're about to enter the Sunset Forest, so I don't say anything polite to keep you, but I can solemnly promise that as long as I can come out of the Sunset Forest alive, I will help you with all your wishes. Of course, I can only help you with my personal identity." Wick said very seriously.
Chu Qi was moved and smiled and said, "I believe you, Brother Wick. Since you are going to enter the Sunset Forest, I will tell you some things I know so that you can be a little guarded. The skins of those Crado beasts are very hard, and the ability of advanced swordsmen can only cut a slight wound, and it is impossible to cause too much damage to it. So I think the swordsman has little chance of fighting against Crado beasts, but the mage can be responsible for the main attack, and it cannot be a single-type magic attack, but requires each magician to attack together. The most important thing is the earth-type trap technique, which can effectively prevent Crado beasts from running quickly and has a chance to trap it."
Wick looked at Chu Qi in surprise and asked, "Have you ever entered the Sunset Forest?"
Chu Qi shook his head and said, "The mission in the Mercenary Association originated from the Sunset Forest barrier was caused by me, because I encountered three Crado beasts in the forest close to the Nubis Empire and the Ates Empire, and fought with them. These are some of our experiences in fighting. As for other monsters, I cannot give you more reminders, and I can only rely on you to experience them yourself."
"What, you mean you killed three Crado beasts? That's an eighth-level monster!" Wick couldn't help but scream. Alice, who had been paying attention to them, looked at them strangely, not knowing what they were saying, and looked so shocked.
Wick realized his incompetence and quickly lowered his voice and said, "Chu Qi, are you kidding?"
Chu Qi said: "No, it's Xiao Jin who deals with both ends alone, and my mercenary group members and I dealt with one end together. Even if there is only one end, it will make us poor to deal with it. If there is no Xiao Jin, we may not die and we will not have so many things."
Although Wick knew that Xiao Jin was very powerful, he did not expect that Xiao Jin could deal with two eighth-level monsters alone, and he couldn't help but show envious eyes. He didn't even know that Chu Qi had even formed a mercenary group, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.
Chu Qi told Wick about his mercenary group name and members without any concealment, which shocked Wick. Unexpectedly, the small mercenary group actually had members of three mysterious professions.
"Thank you for your reminder. The leader originally discussed that he wanted more swordsmen and less mages, because the mages were weak in physical strength and were afraid that they would drag down the team. It seems that I would advise the leader to change the proportion of teams entering the forest." This news was too important to Wick and the others. If it weren't for Chu Qi's reminder, the consequences of entering the forest might be unimaginable.
Chu Qi smiled and said, "What are you grateful for? I should remind you as a friend."
While talking and talking, I had already arrived at Ogra Auction House before I knew it. This auction house with a total of 6 chains is indeed grand enough. The staff are all wearing neat clothes, which looks clean and refreshing, making people feel comfortable. It seems that the boss who runs this auction house knows very well as reflecting his own level. No wonder Ogra Auction House can open branches in so many countries.
The staff politely introduced them into the auction hall. If they wanted to participate in the auction, they would have to pay a deposit of 100,000 gold coins. Wick and the others just wanted to come and see it, but they did not want to participate in any auction. With the money they earned as mercenaries, it was impossible to participate in any auction.
Chu Qi paid 100,000 gold coins without changing his face and received an auction certificate. Wick said in surprise: "Chu Qi, do you want to participate in the auction?"
Chu Qi said casually: "Look, maybe there is something I need, and I will buy it if the price is right."
Yalis looked at Chu Qi and said strangely: "When did you become so rich? Just take out a deposit of 100,000 gold coins!"
"Haha, I won this money by gambling, but unfortunately you were not there at that time! Otherwise, I could give you a chance to win money!" Chu Qi said jokingly.
"Ah! Have you actually learned to gambling?" Alice screamed, frightening Chu Qi.
"Worry, otherwise others would think I'm bullying you!" Chu Qi said with a look around.
Alice's face was a little red, but then she persuaded her: "Loren, gambling is a very bad thing. You should not participate in gambling. If you lose, you will lose everything. Now that you have won a little money, it's better to stop as soon as possible!"
Chu Qi was a little depressed. Alice was just like the old lady of the neighborhood committee, discussing the harm of gambling with him so seriously. He smiled bitterly: "I only participated in gambling once, and it was a long time ago. I promise not to gamble again in the future."
Only then did Alice nodded with satisfaction and said, "No, it's a good kid who knows the mistakes and can correct them!"
"..." Chu Qi was speechless.
Sitting down in the auction hall, this time Alice sat next to Chu Qi first, and Wick occupied Chu Qi's time all the way. Alice was very angry and didn't care about so much etiquette now.
Wick smiled slightly, but there was a little worry in his eyes. He knew clearly what Alice was thinking, but Chu Qi's current situation was impossible to accept her.
Looking at the satisfied smile on Yalis's face, Wick sighed slightly, and without saying anything, he made Yalis happy for one afternoon. After the auction, they would immediately go their separate ways.
Alice looked around excitedly and muttered, "There are so many rich people! Look, they are all holding auction certificates!"
Chu Qi smiled and said, "What's the use of envying others? You also try to become a rich man!"
Alice pouted and said, "When I have money, I will definitely use the money to kill you. You dare to laugh at me!"
"Haha, how dare I laugh at you!" Chu Qi laughed.
While having a laugh with Alice, the auction officially began. With the auctioneer's heavy blow, the hall became much quieter, waiting for the treasures presented by the auctioneer.
"The first item we are going to auction today is a purple jade. This purple jade is the best among jade. It takes tens of years of precipitation to produce such a mutation. In addition, it is rare. Its effect can prolong life..."
The auctioneer talked about the effects of purple jade, but most of them were not interested. Only a few older men were very interested. With more money, the rest was to take care of themselves. Only with a good body could you enjoy the happiness brought by money. So soon, the purple jade, which started at 10,000 gold coins, was raised to 10,000 gold coins and was bought by an old guy.
The next few items auctioned are either jade or treasures, and the auction price is not too high.
Chu Qi was a little disappointed. Could it be that the auction of Zigg City only auctioned such garbage things? I wouldn't have been here to waste my time if I had known it.
Wick noticed Chu Qi's expression and comforted him with a smile: "Don't worry, the better the things will stay behind. Haven't you seen that most people have not participated in the auction yet? They are all for the things behind. When those precious treasures come out, we are all frightened by the price increase."
It seems that Wick has seen several auctions, and Chu Qi was slightly cheered up. If there were no good things, he would really be too lazy to stay there.
After several rounds of auctions, the things behind were indeed getting better and better, but they could not arouse Chu Qi's interest. The key was that he wanted to see any materials suitable for alchemy. After all, it was not a solution to rely on him to search alone and search for them at 600 people. Maybe he could encounter what he needed here.
"The one below is a magic wand of a mage. It is inlaid with a wind-type seventh-level magic core on the top, which echoes the tiny magic core tails embedded around it, forming a magic circle, which can increase the magic power of the mage by 10% of its magic power. It is a treasure in the eyes of the wind-type mage. Due to its limitations, the starting price is 100,000 gold coins."
A short cane-like magic wand lay quietly on the tray, not looking very eye-catching.
Chu Qi was disdainful, but Alice moved her body uneasy, staring at the wind-type staff in the plate with her eyes. In her eyes, the wand was more precious than anything.
"Two hundred thousand." A mage could not wait to scream.
Wick looked over, frowned and whispered, "It's that guy, I didn't expect him to come to the auction too."
Chu Qi asked strangely: "Do you know him?"
"He is Zadry, the leader of the Feiyu Mercenary Group. We had some conflicts with him while we were doing the mission. I also fought with him, but I lost." Wick did not hide his failure.
Alice said dissatisfiedly: "He defeated you with all his equipment. Wick, you don't have to worry about it."
But Wick said: "If you lose, you will lose, but what means does the other party use? It is his ability to get equipment."
Chu Qi glanced at Wick with appreciation. He just admired Wick's open temperament. He smiled and said, "Let me vent your anger."
There were three people in the field who were increasing the price. It seemed that they were all wind mages. Except for the leader of the Feiyu Group, the first time the team increased to 200,000, the next one was 10,000, and now it has increased to 250,000.
"Three hundred thousand." Chu Qi raised the sign in his hand and shouted leisurely.
Wick and the others were startled, and hurriedly grabbed Chu Qi and said, "Loren, you can't scream at the auction. If no one answers the price, you will buy this wand. If you don't have the money to pay, then the 100,000 deposit will be considered compensation."
Chu Qi blinked at him with a smile, "Don't worry, even if no one answers the price, I'll buy it. As the gift I gave to Alice, she is my master at least, and I still owe her a request!"
Alice was full of joy, but said embarrassedly: "Loren, stop spending so much money, I'm just a joke."
Chu Qi's bidding immediately scared one of them away, only Zadri and another mage were bidding there. They were very angry at Chu Qi, the opponent who suddenly appeared, especially Zadri. Seeing Wick and others beside Chu Qi, there was a hint of cold light in his eyes. Not only was there a personal grudge in the middle, but he also wanted the treasure of this wind-type mage very much, so he gritted his teeth and followed.
