Chapter 37: Auction (Part One)

  The central area of the Seven Star Auction House was a circular arena. This arena was extremely large, capable of holding 10,000 people at once, and there were even seven VIP boxes hanging on all sides. However, because the usual auctions didn't have anything valuable, this place seemed especially deserted.

  But today! The central auction hall of the Seven Star Auction House was packed with people, because today's auction was different from usual. This difference was evident from the guests alone. The princesses and princes who were rarely seen in ordinary times were like common vegetables on the street, it could be said that you might accidentally rub shoulders with a prince or princess while passing by.

  But are these princes and princesses worth the money? No, no, no, the real big shots are in those ten private rooms, it's those ten private rooms that will decide the transaction amount of tonight's auction.

  Package No. 1: The Church of Light, although it is only a religious organization established in the Holy Kingdom of Iron Fire Alliance, its followers are all over the continent and can be said that the four major kingdoms have to give him some face.

  Package 2 to Package 5: Representatives of the Four Great Kingdoms, including the God's Chant Empire, which even sent a representative despite hating the Absolute Forest, and the representative of the Brave Kingdom is Chen Le's gambler friend, Prince Fein.

  Box 6: Chen Le sat in it, as the provider of the final auction item, and also the biggest winner tonight.

  Seventh Package: The most mysterious representative of the Tian Dynasty, they defend their borders and do not allow anyone to enter, so the various countries on the mainland do not know what the actual strength of the Tian Dynasty is.

  That's all for tonight's audience.

  The Qixing Auction House at night was like a giant lantern, illuminating the entire Sandalwood Gathering District.

  Chen Le looked at this sea of people and couldn't help but think of his hometown on Earth. People, there were still so many!

  At this time, a guard wearing the uniform of the Seven Stars Auction House walked over and said respectfully: "Lord Arthur, Lord Olan has instructed that if you come, he will take you and your servants to the private room."

  Chen Le smiled and said to Fei Zhi and Lei Ao Hua behind him: "It seems that Olan is still quite sensible."

  Fey's mouth corners rose, seemingly very satisfied with the treatment his master received. Meanwhile, Reo Hada stared at the slave district, as if wanting to thoroughly destroy it.

  Chen Le weakly looked at his newly acquired slave with a knight's spirit.

  The guards led them to the VIP passage of the Central Auction House, which was a very long staircase. The two guards outside also bowed when they saw Chen Le and his group, but when they bowed to Lei Ao, there was a hint of disdain in their eyes.

  A'ao clenched his teeth and didn't make a move. Chen Le, however, couldn't bear it anymore. He let the guard who was leading the way hear him, then said: "Let these two apologize to my subordinates."

  The two guards looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

  Chen Le stopped talking and turned around to leave when the two guards knelt down and said to Leo, "Lord Leo, we're sorry, we were wrong!"

  Lei Ao no matter how much he resented this auction house, his chivalrous spirit was not to be trifled with. He hastily helped the two up and bowed, saying: "I forgive you."

  Chen Le stopped in his tracks and said to the guard leading the way: "Continue leading us on."

  The guard didn't say anything either, he just nodded and silently led the way.

  Arriving at the corridor leading to the private room. Chen Le looked at those people chatting below, and his heart was also surging with excitement.

  "Lord Arthur, we've arrived. Please enter." The leading guard said as he led Chen Le to a golden house with the number 6 on it.

  Chen Le couldn't help but mock the gaudy exterior: "Just how rich is this Qi Xing Auction House, anyway? Why are so many things made of gold?"

  The door opened and a young woman in a maid's uniform bowed and said, "Please come in, sir!" Then she looked up at Chen Le.

  Chen Le carefully looked at this young maid and suddenly remembered that she was an acquaintance: "Vivian, why are you still here?"

  Vivian excitedly smiled and said: "Sir, I implore Mr. Olan to come serve you."

  Chen Le smiled and said: "Hehe, okay. Now let's introduce this private room for us."

  Vivian pulled Chen Le's hand and walked in, then pointed to a screen and said: "This is the magic crystal projector. Later, a magic crystal flying robot will be launched here, and it will send the audio and video it takes to this screen."

  Chen Le suddenly felt that the technology of this world was not as backward as he had thought, at least there were people with such spy flying devices.

  At this time, in the central auction house, a bolt of lightning struck straight to the center, and a figure walked out through the lightning.

  A blue magician's hat, a head topped with a fist-sized aquamarine gemstone, and a set of blue magician robes. This was the attire of the figure.

  "Welcome, noble guests, to the Seven Star Auction House! I am Williams, Chief Connoisseur of the Seven Star Auction House and a 9th-level Grand Mage!"

  "Master William! Master William!" The people below fell into a frenzy.

  Chen Le Xiang also fell into a frenzy and asked Vivian: "Who is this Master Williams?"

  "Vivian exclaimed excitedly: 'He said he's a level 9 water system magician, and also our auction house's appraisal master.'"

  Chen Le began to carefully examine this Williams 9th-level magician. A white beard with a mustache, his face maintained a smile, with many wrinkles.

  Williams seemed to have also noticed Chen Le was sizing him up, and he smiled at Chen Le before loudly saying: "Two days ago! Some of the audience present were fortunate enough to witness the birth of a Broken Mirror level alchemist! And this alchemist even refined an extreme quality Broken Mirror level dan medicine! Most importantly! He entrusted our Seven Star Auction House with his refined dan medicine for auction! We are very honored and happy to accept this entrustment, and we will also be taking out some of our auction house's treasures for auction. Before the start of this auction, let us give a warm welcome to Master Arthur in room six!"

  Williams tore off his own hat and yelled: "Arthur! Arthur!"

  The audience on the scene also shouted towards No. 6 booth: "Arthur! Arthur!"

  Chen Le looked at the princes and princesses below, who were calling out his name without regard for their own dignity, and his heart was also stirred with a thousand emotions.

  Chen Le asked Vivian: "Is there anything that can make what I say reach every single person down there?"

  Vivian picked up a horn-like object on the right side of the screen and said, "This is a loudspeaker. As long as you speak into it, the entire hall's magic crystal reaction system will send your words out."

  Chen Le took the microphone and said: "I'm very grateful for everyone's support of this auction, and at the same time, I feel a bit sorry for everyone's kindness. So, I promise that for the person who successfully bids on this dan medicine, I will refine it once for him, of course, he will have to provide the materials himself."

  The people in the hall stirred up a thousand waves, and at this time, Fein's voice came from inside the field: "Master Arthur, is what you said true?"

  "At least I haven't eaten back what I've said yet."

  Feyn's tone carried a hint of amusement: "Well, it seems I'll be bleeding heavily this time! But to exchange for Master Arthur's alchemy once, I think I won't feel any heartache."

  At this time another voice came out: "Master Arthur, I am Tudor, the Archbishop of the Church of Light. We hope that after this auction, we can have a good chat."

  Chen Le smiled and said: "Unfortunately, Archbishop Tussaud, I have something to attend to after the auction ends, so I won't be able to chat with you."

  Tosaid smiled and said: "No problem, as long as you are willing, Lord Arthur. Time is actually very negotiable."

  Chen Le smiled and said: "Then I'll come visit you personally when I'm free."

  "We await your arrival at your convenience."

  As his voice fell, William said: "Oh dear, Archbishop Thurstan, don't bother Master Arthur anymore, the audience has an opinion."

  "Sorry, sorry," Tuo Sai De said with a smile.

  Williams raised his head, and his beard also shook. He said loudly: "The 10th Central Auction of the Seven-Star Auction House has begun. Now let's take a look at the first auction item!"

  The first item up for auction was a knife, no more than one meter in length, with a completely black body that seemed to emanate an extremely strong murderous aura.

  Chen Le thought this knife was extraordinary.

  "This is the famous dark warrior Moberl's used sword. Moberl, who I believe everyone is familiar with, was a 9th level black knight that rampaged in the Holy Light Kingdom two hundred years ago and was later purified by the Church of Light, but his sword went missing. Our Seven Star Auction House luckily acquired this sword last year. Originally we planned to collect it, but thinking about Master Arthur's perfect work, I think we still need a bit of support, so we're auctioning off this sword today."

  Williams recited a string of incantations, and an ice wall burst forth on the stage. He said to the people below, "Now please have one person come test this knife!"
