In the auction venue, Su Xiao suddenly raised a price, which obviously disrupted the arrangement of the spell casters.
It's not that the casters made any omissions or didn't think of this, but it's really unavoidable.
Although the items in this auction come from multiple forces, the auction will be held in Liguang Manor. As the territory of the spellcasters, they naturally have the final say on how to arrange the auction process.
Even so, they couldn't find Su Xiao, who was disguised as the Holy Flame Medicine Master, and tell Su Xiao not to take the last item, because it was a mysterious thing from the abyss.
Among the casters, there are only a few people who know about this matter. Even if they are trying to win over Su Xiao, they will not tell Su Xiao such a shameful secret.
As for not letting Su Xiao come to participate in this auction, this is even more impossible. This is simply aimed at. The subsequent relationship between the two parties, not to mention falling out, has to be frozen. The investment made by Arcane Eternal Star in the early stage to win over Su Xiao,
It's like giving it for free.
Coupled with the convening of the Austrian Law Celebration, the arrangement of this matter inevitably seemed a bit hasty, which is why such a flaw was left.
Before the auction started, Sefilia, Dean Guya, Master Soul, and Howling King discussed it. Howling King's idea was to throw the "Book of the Dead" into the abyss passage. Since it came from
Abyss, then let it return to the abyss.
Sefilia, Dean Guya, and Master Soul unanimously objected. There were too many variables in throwing the "Book of the Dead" into the abyss passage. It would be safer to sell this thing to a "destined person".
On the stage at the auction venue, although the Yu Clan auctioneer looked calm, he was actually sweating down his spine. Of course, he was also one of the participants in this plan, or in other words, this was a game set up by the top brass of Arcane Eternal Star.
Inviting Wood as the auctioneer tonight is digging a hole in itself. You must know that in the battle for the world of paintings, Arcane Eternal Star sent female spellcasters Luo Xi and Yanqi Soyeg as representatives. Not only that
Among them, the female spell caster Luo Xi also brought the [Insight Eye] notarized by the Void Tree to broadcast the scene of the battle for the painted world to the "Mowu Arena" in the void in real time.
At that time, many viewers of the void race witnessed part of the battle for the world of painting through the images transmitted back by the female spellcaster Luo Xi with the [Insight Eye].
However, [Insight Eye] subsequently arrived at the Apocalypse Sisters and staged a series of 'live broadcast' escapes.
These are not the point. The point is that Arcane Eternal Star learned that Wood and Su Xiao had cooperated through part of the [Insight Eye].
Under such circumstances, the spellcasters definitely had bad intentions when they invited Wood to be the special auctioneer for this auction.
Who is Wood? Would he not have thought of this? The answer is that Wood has thought of it. To be precise, the Arcane Eternal Star who invited him had ulterior motives, and he who accepted the invitation actually had no good intentions either.
The arrangement of the casters was that when Wood served as the auctioneer, the last item sold was actually a "dad-level" artifact.
Buyers who buy the "Necronomicon" will definitely immediately think of Wood from the Devil Clan, who is related to this matter. The name of the Devil Clan's "Void Foster" is still very resounding.
In order to prevent Wood from not bidding on the "Book of the Dead", the casters also specially arranged for two auctioneers, and asked the feather tribe auctioneer to replace Wood for a while during the auction, so as to avoid appearing now and appearing
Abrupt.
Regarding the unknown variables in this plan, the four leaders of the Holy Flame Alchemist and the Arcane Eternal Star actually had a brief confidential discussion.
In Sefilia's view, the Holy Flame Apothecary is unlikely to bid for the "Necronomicon". First of all, as a top alchemist, the Holy Flame Apothecary must be well-informed. After seeing the "Necronomicon" play, even if
Because it is frozen by "cold ice", it is difficult to sense the mysterious fluctuations, but you can still faintly notice that something is wrong with this thing.
This view is unanimously agreed by Lord Soul and Dean Gu Ya. The knowledge of the top pharmacist is really not worthy of doubt.
Howling King put forward a different point of view. In his opinion, what if the Holy Flame Medicine Master suddenly feels that the "Book of the Dead" is good and participates in the bidding?
The answer given by Sefilia was to go to the seat next to the Holy Flame Medicine Master and ask him not to bid for this item again. She said that the specific reasons would be explained later. After hearing that this was a direct and effective, but simple and crude solution, Lin
The Feng King was choked and couldn't speak for a long time.
The method is a bit direct, but considering many aspects, this solution strategy is indeed feasible, and the probability that the Holy Flame Apothecary chooses to bid for the "Necronomicon" is very low.
Unexpectedly, this small probability event finally happened, or in other words, this was not a small probability event at all, it was something that was bound to happen.
The reason why the casters don't want to see Su Xiao take the "Necronomicon" is because once this happens, it means that Su Xiao and the "Necronomicon" have established a cause and effect. In this situation, arcane magic is eternal.
Will Xing continue to win over the Holy Flame Medicine Master, or will he give up?
If you continue to win over each other, it will be equivalent to having a causal connection with the "Necronomicon" again. When the time comes, between the Arcane Eternal Star and the Holy Flame Apothecary, the "Necronomicon" will definitely choose the former. The resource stocks of both parties are not the same.
level.
And giving up on wooing the Holy Flame Alchemist who took the "Book of the Dead" was also a huge loss for Arcane Eternal Star. First, it missed a top pharmacist, and secondly, all the previous investment in wooing the Holy Flame Alchemist was in vain.
"9000."
Su Xiao bid again, which made an Aowu tribe member who bid against him choose to give up.
As the last item on the auction block, the "Necronomicon" was introduced as an unknown ancient book, so not many people were interested in it, and no one present was willing to compete with the Holy Flame Medicine Master.
"Mr. Shengyan's bid is 9,000 soul coins. Is there any higher bid?"
The Yu Clan auctioneer on the stage vividly talked about the false origin of the "Necronomicon". From what he said, although the function of this ancient book is unknown, it has great origins.
In fact, the Yu Clan auctioneer on the stage was confused. He was very sure that this thing could not be auctioned to the Holy Flame Medicine Master, but at this point, he couldn't keep the hammer down.
Su Xiao gained a lot from this visit to the Arcane Eternal Star. One of the gains was that he discovered that the Feather Clan and the Arcane Eternal Star seemed to be hostile at times, but in fact they were working together.
In the past, the Demon Clan and the Feather Clan secretly united. It seemed that conflicts broke out between the two sides, and even war broke out. In fact, the old immortals of both sides had colluded to avoid being targeted by the Arcane Eternal Star in this mutually hostile way.
.
After all, the Demon Clan and the Feather Clan have been too active in recent years, so they will inevitably be feared by the Arcane Eternal Star. Instead of being suppressed by the Arcane Eternal Star, it is better to pretend to have conflicts with each other.
The result was that the more they beat the Demons, the more they felt something was wrong. They agreed to hold back their strength, but after gathering their strength, the Yus first took a running start, then jumped up and gave the Demons a big hammer.
At that time, the demon clan was stunned and asked angrily: 'Are you serious?'
The result was that the Yu Clan said they were sorry, but actually hammered them even harder, and even took over a lot of territory from the Demon Clan. This was not an act, this was clearly serious.
As a result, the two sides fought more and more fiercely, and at the height of the intensity, the demons saw the figure of the spell caster on the battlefield.
At this point, the Demon Clan naturally thought about what was going on. They were played by the Yu Clan. The Yu Clan united with the Arcane Eternal Star. After both sides captured a piece of the Demon Clan's territory, they divided it into half and showed that the Demon Clan dared to
When we fight back, the Arcane Eternal Star + Feather Tribe will attack the Demon Tribe together.
More importantly, the demons felt that this matter was too embarrassing and chose to swallow this bitter pill.
So at this moment, there was a famous Yu Clan auctioneer standing on the stage. Su Xiao might have been surprised before, but this time he came to Arcane Eternal Star and learned the details, he was no longer surprised.
Why didn't the Demon Clan ever mention this matter to him? Considering the warlike and face-saving character of the Demon Clan, it was really abnormal for him to take the initiative to mention this matter.
After learning that the Yu Clan and the Arcane Eternal Star secretly joined forces, Su Xiao was able to arrange for the Yu Clan this time, so naturally he would not be lenient. For example, he chose the Yu Clan genius Yu Li as the starting point for the plan.
"9200."
A strong man from the Reverse Tooth Clan raised his placard to bid. Seeing this, the Yu Clan auctioneer immediately raised his hand and asked: "9200 soul coins, is there anything higher?"
That's what the Yu Clan auctioneer said. In fact, as he spoke, he had already raised the auction hammer and was about to hit it with one hammer.
"9300."
As soon as Su Xiao said this, the Yu Clan auctioneer on the stage almost dodged his waist and quickly stopped with the hammer halfway down. If he hit it with one hammer and sold the "Necronomicon" to the Holy Flame Medicine Master, he would definitely be
There is no good fruit to eat without him.
As soon as Su Xiao made the bid, he found that Sefilia was sitting next to her and whispered: "Holy Flame, that ancient book is not worth 9,300 soul coins no matter how you look at it."
"Maybe."
As Su Xiao spoke, he was about to bid again. The strong man from the Reverse Tooth Tribe had already bid 9,400 soul coins.
"Then you still shoot?"
Sefilia looked sideways at Su Xiao, beginning to doubt Su Xiao's intentions.
"The wooden box it's in is definitely worth the price."
Hearing what Su Xiao said, Sefilia was stunned for a moment, and then she had nothing to say. As the maker of the wooden box, she certainly knew the value of the box better than anyone else. Let alone 9,400 soul coins.
From the outside world, even 94,000 soul coins cannot buy that wooden box.
"Tell me if you like it, and I'll give you one."
Sefilia spoke in a low voice, which made Su Xiao pause in raising the number plate and said in a low voice:
"I want a bigger one, that one looks a bit small."
"good."
"make a deal."
Su Xiao put the number plate on the table, and in the end, the strong man from the Reverse Tooth Clan bought the "Book of the Dead" for 9,400 soul coins.
As the auction ended and the guests left one after another, Su Xiao went to the backcourt to pay the soul coins, got the three items she had bid on, and left the auction venue with Beni.
Just after leaving the corridor of the venue, Su Xiao met a female spell caster wearing a black robe, a hood, and white bandages all over her body. The female spell caster said in a somewhat crisp and hoarse voice:
"Mr. Shengyan, my mentor is waiting for you at the winery."
"lead the way."
As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, the female spell caster on the side snapped her fingers.
When the space fluctuations stabilized, Su Xiao was already in the restaurant on the second floor of the winery's castle. He looked around and took a seat. Opposite him was Sefilia, who was enjoying dinner.
"Holy Flame, do you know what that is?"
Sefilia put down the tableware, held up the crystal cup, and sipped it lightly. She asked directly about the "Necronomicon" as soon as she opened her mouth, obviously showing an attitude of doubting Su Xiao.
"That's something from the abyss."
Su Xiao did not hide anything. The calmer he acted at this time, the less likely he would be suspected.
"Then you still dare to bid?"
Sefilia's tone became cold, and she lost her usual politeness.
"Oh, it turns out that the Necronomicon is in your hands. I was wondering why, as the organizer of this auction, you accepted all the items."
Hearing Su Xiao's words, Sefilia's eyes narrowed a little, and her aura became a little dangerous.
"So, you know the Necronomicon very well?"
"Of course I understand. Considering that the Reversed Tooth Clan is the current holder of the Necronomicon, the last one was you, and the last one was the exterminator named Bai Ye. During this period, he also went to the Devil Clan, and then he was the last one.
The first one was the violator priest of Sanctuary Paradise. Guess who was the last one? Who sold that thing to the priest? Who went to the abyss spread area to look for rare plants and found the Necronomicon?"
As Su Xiao spoke, he pulled up the cuff of his left arm, and translucent tentacles emerged from his arm. As a collaborator who had arranged for the evil god with the "Necronomicon", he was deliberately manipulated by the "Necronomicon"
The fluctuations are assimilated to this extent, which is not dangerous to Su Xiao, and can be eliminated after reincarnation in paradise.
In Su Xiao's words, he also deliberately sold a flaw, that is, he knew that the Necronomicon had been in the hands of the exterminator. The reason for this was to make the subsequent remarks more complete and true.
"How much...do you know about that thing?"
Sefilia frowned. She felt a little bit dumbfounded at the moment. The development of things up to now was no longer wonderful and could not be described.
But don't be fooled by the attitude she showed at this moment. She has keenly grasped one thing, that is, how could the Holy Flame know that the Necronomicon had been in Bai Ye's hands? She was ready to kill immediately if there was anything wrong.
"I know more about the Necronomicon than you do. The way you sold it is too casual. The Necronomicon has a causal characteristic. It causes the death of the current holder, or the current holder's ethnic group.
After it is destroyed, it will trace back to the previous holder, that is, it will come back to you. When you can't handle it, or it can't handle your methods, it will continue to trace back to the previous holder to find the method of destruction..."
When Su Xiaoyan came here, Sefilia across the dining table asked: "In other words, as long as we handle it properly, the ultimate unlucky one will be the destruction method?"
"Of course not."
Su Xiao looked at Sefilia with a slight smile, which made Sefilia feel unhappy. She was very resistant to others looking at her like this.
"The Book of the Dead focuses on cause and effect. If Bai Ye is just destroying magic, that's okay, but he is also a hunter in the Paradise of Reincarnation. Even the Book of the Dead will not be willing to fight with a hunter in the Paradise of Reincarnation.
, I was very disappointed when I learned that the priest got rid of the Necronomicon, but after investigating that he passed the Necronomicon to Bai Ye, I was very relieved. Originally, I thought that the Necronomicon would return to the priest and continue to toss.
Why did he get into your hands?"
Su Xiao did not hide this. He had set a trap and naturally had to throw out enough bait for Sefilia to take the bait.
He had just deliberately revealed that he knew that the Necronomicon had been in the hands of the extinguisher. This was actually a rather risky statement. However, with the identity of Sheng Yan, if it was really the awakener of the Necronomicon, he would definitely pay attention to the news about the Necronomicon in the future.
The trend of the book.
According to Su Xiao's understanding, the Devil Clan will send people to inquire about the situation in about 20 to 30 days to see if the Jar of the Abyss is still with Caesar.
Therefore, Su Xiao restored the psychological changes of people who have been cheated by "dad-level" artifacts. As the saying goes, details determine success or failure.
"According to you, we can't get rid of the Necronomicon this time?"
"Of course not, you can give it to me. Don't forget, I was the one who awakened it in the Abyss Spreading Zone. In fact, I have always had the idea to sell the Necronomicon to the Reincarnation Paradise and see what happens.
But last time I wanted to use this method to deal with the priest who ordered the medicine and refused to pay, so I’ll try it this time.”
After Su Xiao finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Then he looked surprised and praised: "Who made this good wine?"
Hearing Su Xiao's praise of the wine, Sefilia's expression became more relaxed than before.
"Where did you get that wooden box? It's very exquisitely made."
"It's not that exquisite, just average."
Sefilia's attitude completely softened, and it turned out that it felt good to be praised by the Holy Flame, a top pharmacist, for her work.
"Holy Flame, you said you could help us solve the problem of the Necronomicon. This is not free, right?"
"Of course not. With 2 million soul coins, I will help you solve this hidden danger forever."
"Impossible, maximum 50,000."
"make a deal."
"..."
Sefilia opposite, looked at Su Xiao suspiciously, wanting to say something, but ultimately said nothing.
Regarding this matter, Su Xiao will get some benefits if he can. His main purpose is to help the "Necronomicon" get out of trouble.
From the first level of fighting to the ninth level, Su Xiao has come into contact with several kinds of "dad-level" artifacts, "quasi-dad-level" artifacts, and dangerous objects with "dad-level" artifact qualities.
The Jar of the Abyss, the Book of the Dead, the Soul Crown (Dark Crown), the Ancient Mask, and finally the Bloodthirsty Armor and the Dark Blade. When the winner is determined between the two, they should be in the direction of "quasi-father-level" artifacts.
go.
Among these artifacts, it seems that the "Ancient Mask" has the closest relationship with Su Xiao, but Su Xiao knows that when this mask is upgraded from a "quasi-father-level" artifact to a "father-level" artifact, even if it does not backfire on him, it will
Will leave and distance myself.
Only the "Necronomicon" has hunted evil gods with me, and after completing the hunt, this "daddy" artifact has not monopolized the profits.
Of course, Su Xiao would not watch this kind of "father-level" artifact trapped in "Linbing". Of course, even if it was released, Su Xiao would not take it with him. As the saying goes, distance creates beauty.
Maintaining the current occasional cooperation is the best distance. Once the distance is too close, Su Xiao can be sure that she will die due to the cause and effect of this "father-level" artifact.
After dinner, Su Xiao left the winery. Not long after he returned to the lakeside dormitory, there was a knock on the door.
Dong dong dong~
Su Xiao raised his hand to signal Beni not to open the door. He got up from the single sofa and opened the door himself. He found no one outside the door. A 1-meter-square wooden box was placed on the red carpet outside the door.
Su Xiao opened the wooden box, and inside was the "Book of the Dead" that was frozen in "Lin Bing". He directly picked up the cube-shaped "Lin Bing".
At the same time, in the winery castle of Liguang Manor, Sefilia, Dean Gu Ya, Master Soul, and King Howling Wind all saw the scene of Su Xiao picking up "Linbing" through magic energy projection.
"Is this pharmacist crazy?"
The Howling King frowned as he looked at it. He had taken the risk to touch the "Cold Ice" that sealed the "Necronomicon" before, and that feeling made him remember it deeply.
"The exterminator named Bai Ye was also the holder of the Book of the Dead, and he also came from the Paradise of Reincarnation. Do you think the Holy Flame and Bai Ye are the same person? Bai Ye disguised himself as the Holy Flame. Is there such a thing?
possible?"
When Master Hun spoke, he could only say that he was indeed a ruthless man who had opened up dozens of ideas.
"Before tonight, I actually had this conjecture, but after tonight, I think it is unlikely."
Sefilia stated that the reason was that the Holy Flame Apothecary had never revealed anything related to the destruction of magic, except that they all came from the Reincarnation Paradise and the other party was his old client.
In the same paradise, a hunter is a client of a pharmacist. This is extremely normal. On the contrary, if Sheng Yan says that he does not know Bai Ye, the extinguisher, it will be the biggest doubt.
Under such a perfect disguise, why is this matter still involved tonight? It makes no sense either emotionally or rationally.
On the contrary, the origin of the Holy Flame is frank, and he doesn't care about it. He revealed his relationship with the "Necronomicon" purely for profit. This is the truth, and this is the Holy Flame Medicine Master that makes people feel real. Regardless of whether the Holy Flame
How superb is your pharmacy knowledge? First of all, this is a human being, and a human being will have seven emotions and six desires, and will have his or her own desires.
What happened tonight is really in line with Shengyan's character and behavior. In Sefilia's view, the other party came to Arcane Eternal Star just to obtain more benefits and resources.
The bull forces are cooperating, so tonight, for the sake of profit, the relationship with the "Necronomicon" is revealed, which is extremely normal.
Because of this, Sefilia felt that the Holy Flame was not suspicious. On the contrary, Sefilia had always been worried when the identity of the Holy Flame was innocent.
"Don't worry about where he comes from. If there is anything wrong with him, just silence him."
Dean Gu Ya said, this old guy who showed up the least is actually the most ruthless. He has always insisted on killing a thousand by mistake rather than letting one go.
"Old man, you don't know the specifics of this matter. That Shengyan is very good at being a good person. Now the Medicine Master Guild regards him as the top level of Medicine Master. Don't say that we got rid of him without any reason. Even if it's not us
If we do it, he died on the Arcane Eternal Star, and this debt will also be charged to us by the pharmacists from the Pharmacist Guild."
The more Master Soul spoke, the more speechless she became. She glanced at Sefilia, not understanding why the situation had developed to this point. In the past, when Sefilia did things, she couldn't find fault even if she wanted to. As a result,
This time it happened like this.
"Is there such a thing? You really need to think carefully about it, but having said that, how suspicious is this holy flame?"
"Half a point?"
King Howling Wind spoke. So far, he didn't feel that the Holy Flame Pharmacist had done anything suspicious. If it weren't for the identity of the other party's top pharmacist and the need to carefully test its origins, he would have stopped testing it long ago when trying to win over other talents.
"It seems like there's not even half of it."
Sephilia also expressed her stance.
"That is to say, even if there is a problem with Sheng Yan, it is because of his identity as a pharmacist, and there is some problem with his origin?"
Dean Gu Ya looked around at the other three people present.
"It is too far-fetched to say that the Holy Flame is disguised by Bai Ye. To be honest, I just wanted to avoid this. I took him to the Forest of Souls. During the process, we passed the Rock Bridge and the many magic energy towers in the Dark Ring River below.
, there was no reaction at all, you all know the elemental affinity of the destruction method."
As soon as Sefilia said this, Master Soul's face darkened. She could see that her old enemy Sefilia had just deliberately led her to say that the holy flame might be Bai Ye disguised as a slayer.
It is impossible to walk through so many magic energy towers, and there is no fluctuation in the magic energy towers.
"Then don't talk nonsense. He's just a pharmacist. Even if there are some problems with his background, how much trouble can he do?"
As soon as Lord Soul said this, he basically announced the end of this secret meeting.
What the four leaders did not expect was that everything Su Xiao did tonight and the risks he took was just to bring the four of them together. The reason for this was because Su Xiao was afraid of five people in total on the Arcane Eternal Star.
, the most fearful person, followed by Sephilia, Master Soul, Dean Gu Ya, and King Howling Wind.
The Supreme People rarely leave the [Elemental Superconducting Tower]. Su Xiao only needs to hold the four leaders for a short time, and some things can be done during this time.
In the lakeside dormitory, Su Xiao was sitting in front of the workbench. He was preparing a secret medicine for sleeping. This was a commission from Prince Feng.
At this moment, the communicator on the workbench rang. Su Xiao held a vessel in the catalytic reaction in each hand. He motioned to Greene Wei beside him to pick up the communication.
Green Wei picked up the communicator and connected it, and Bai Niu's voice came from inside: "Come out for a drink? You have a new club, so don't forget the old club."
"Tomorrow night, I'll treat you tomorrow night."
"Alright."
Bainiu hung up the communication. During the whole conversation, Su Xiao and Bainiu did not avoid Green Wei, who was Sefilia's disciple.
In fact, the content of the conversation is not important at all. If Bainiu dials the communication, it means that the matter is successful. On the contrary, if the communication is not dialed, it means that the communication was not successful. Su Xiao will make corresponding changes to the plan.
Tonight's plan, in short, is for Su Xiao to attract the four leaders of the Arcane Eternal Star through the "Book of the Dead" and let them focus all their attention on him.
At the same time, taking advantage of the time when the four leaders' attention was attracted by Su Xiao, headed by White Bull, Caesar, Wood, Sias, Toad, and Violent Rat, they had quietly done another thing.
At ten o'clock that night, in the front area of Xingchen Square, in the guest room of a luxury hotel on Commercial Street.
The lights in the guest room were turned off, and the moonlight poured into the room, reflecting the profile of a Yu clan genius, who was Yu Li.
Yu Li held an hourglass with a simple shape in one hand, and the smile on his face gradually became unbridled. This was his trump card for winning the championship in this fighting competition. He was quite confident about this trump card.
