Chapter 721 Self-Doubt
The first day of the second half of the month of Hanlin.
The auction at the Ancient River Beach finally began.
This is a monthly auction. The auctioneers originally thought that not many people would come, but on this day, they found that there were actually quite a few people coming.
Xilun stood at the top of the inverted triangle auction hall, taking in the view of the entire Ancient River Beach.
Today's weather is average, with yellow sand all over the sky. Perhaps this is a disaster in other places, but the Ancient River Beach is located in the center of the desert, and sandstorms are not uncommon. Therefore, although the yellow sand is thick, it is just a small obstacle for the extraordinary.
As the auctioneer of this auction, Xilun habitually pays attention to the visitors before the auction begins. The fierce wind blew up his long hair, but it automatically shielded the yellow sand and dust.
When the wind was raging, countless people were rushing to the inverted triangle auction hall.
Xilun did not look carefully at the group of apprentices under his feet. All his attention was on the formal wizards who might come.
At this time, a roar suddenly came from the yellow sand, and a yellow-robed wizard suddenly rode a huge sand bear and galloped over.
This person entered Xilun's sight: "Leon, the 'Crazy Sand Bear' of Xidimosha, let me think, he came here today for the cub of the happy bear, right? Borrowing the veins of the happy bear to summon a more powerful summoned beast, it seems that the cub of the happy bear will not be unsold today."
As Xilun was talking to himself, a fragrant breeze blew. He looked up and saw a witch with rose petals all over her body, passing through the curtain of yellow sand and flying to the auction hall.
"Hey, it's Ms. Lianna, the 'Rose Crown' of the Savage Cave. Why is she here? Is it for the vines of Kumanro? But the fragrance extracted from this magic plant can only clear the brain at most, and the taste is quite bitter. Ms. Lianna shouldn't come for this, right? If not this, what else could it be?" Xilun shook his head and didn't figure it out.
The witch, holding an exquisite palace lantern and dressed like a gorgeous lady, also followed Lianna.
"Witch Tong, the 'firefly ferryman' of the Nighttalk Forest, wow, I didn't expect this new genius witch to come here. I can see what she wants to buy. This can also add some shopping data about her." Xilun's eyes flashed with a gleam. Since this witch became a formal wizard, she has rarely appeared in public. Therefore, there is not much data about her at the Ancient Auction, and it is also a question mark what she will buy.
However, Xilun estimated that perhaps Witch Tong came to buy slaves. After all, when you are promoted to a formal wizard, many things need loyal slaves to do.
Xilun's guess was actually not wrong. Witch Tong was walking with Lianna at this time, and the two women were still discussing the quality of various slaves. From this, it can be seen that Xilun, as an auctioneer with nearly a hundred years of experience, has a sharp eye.
Several wizards came later, and Xilun almost guessed their purpose. However, the one who caught his attention the most was Gerald from Hurricane Tower.
This alchemist, known as the "Mithril Transformer", suddenly visited the Ancient Auction, which made Xilun completely unable to guess his purpose. You know, there seemed to be no precious materials related to epigraphy and alchemy at this auction.
Xilun recalled the items of this auction and finally shook his head. He couldn't even estimate it.
"Maybe, something happened outside the data?" Xilun thought to himself. Although he had a lot of wizards' purchase data, accidents sometimes happened, such as this wizard suddenly had a whim to buy rare materials; or, he bought materials to exchange with people in urgent need.
This kind of accident also happens frequently.
Xilun allowed himself to have such accidents. After all, shopping intentions are just a summary of big data, and it is impossible to cover everything.
But the next person who appeared at the auction, Xilun was completely confused.
"This wizard seems to be... Lord Wanzhi?" Xi Lun frowned: "Didn't Wanzhi Xi Lengding never participate in auctions in the past? Even if he went to buy something, he would send a clone. This time, it was his real body. What would he buy? There is no database at all!"
'Wanzhi' Xi Lengding was already a surprise, but there were more surprises to come.
'Whisper of the Netherworld' Duncan, 'Violent Thorns' Madeline, 'Micro World' Du Martin... Two dead-house wizards who stayed in the mirror world all year round, plus a witch who just joined the Savage Cave, actually visited the ancient river beach together.
Xi Lun's mind was left with only question marks.
What exactly is attracting wizards from the Savage Cave? Are there such things in the auction items? Why don't I know?
When Xi Lun was confused, the curtain of yellow sand was slowly lifted.
A young man was ushered in.
The man looked to be about 20 years old, wearing a white shirt with a green waistband, red sleeves embroidered with dark gold edges, and gorgeous and noble accessories. His light yellow long hair was tied up by green vines, leaving only a strand of hair on his forehead, just above his left eye.
He was not handsome, but his temperament was very elegant, but there was a hint of rebellion in his eyes.
The man flew out of thin air without any worldly air. Xi Lun did not recognize the identity of the man at first, but when he saw the wizards below bowing to him in respect, Xi Lun suddenly remembered a big news in the wizard world recently.
Sanders' eldest disciple: Su Mishi, advanced to the true knowledge. It is a rare master and apprentice of true knowledge in the southern wizard world.
"Yes, he is Lord Sumishi!" Silen's eyes flashed with surprise: "Another wizard from the Savage Cave, and this time he is also a true wizard. Has there been a huge change in the Savage Cave? And this time we are auctioning Is there anything that can be resolved at the meeting?”
Xi Lun has already begun to make random guesses, because Su Mishi's shopping intention is also a fog in his mind.
While Silen was in a trance, a man dressed as a servant climbed to the top floor.
"Lord Silen, the auction will start in ten minutes. The head of the Sharon family has called you to start preparations."
Sharon Yamushu is the head of the Magic Coast Oasis of the wizard family who stands behind the ancient auction.
Before Silen could recover, he nodded subconsciously: "I understand, I'll be there right away."
Xi Lun stood on the roof in a daze for a while. He always felt that today's development trajectory completely challenged his professionalism as an auctioneer for so many years.
Obviously today is only a monthly auction, and the items at the bottom of the box are still accumulated. Why are so many people coming? What is their purpose?
Silen couldn't figure it out and went downstairs with a sigh.
He first found the head of the Sharon family. Sharon, who was dressed in cool clothes, was sitting in a luxurious and luxurious box, holding a beautiful wizard apprentice in each hand. When Silen came in, there was even a young beauty sitting on his waist.
Silen saluted, then tilted his head slightly in embarrassment: "Master of the Sharon family."
"What are you doing here? The auction will start soon. Get down quickly and don't disturb me." Sharon waved his hand angrily, telling Silen to leave quickly.
Xi Lun: "Master, I was observing the people on the top floor just now, and found some problems, and I want to report them to the master."
"Hey, you're trying to guess their purchasing intentions again? I think you're wasting your time." Sharon was a little impatient, but after all, Silen is the older generation in the family and is extremely loyal to him. Sharon also It was hard to brush him off: "Tell me what the problem is."
"The people coming to the auction today are very strange. Many wizards from the barbaric caves are here. Obviously there is nothing good in today's auction, right?"
Sharon pinched the face of the beautiful girl who was resting on his collarbone, and said nonchalantly: "Who knows, maybe they just came to attend a wizard's party, and then stopped by to see the auction. That's good, too. Our auctions are also more popular.”
"But……"
"Don't worry, they are all famous wizards. Are they still here to use force against the auction?" Seeing that Silen was still a little confused, Sharon said again: "That data of yours is completely unreliable. Don't stick to it. If you have this time, you might as well think about how to make the auction more profitable. By the way, I just took a look at the order of the auction items. You can change it a little."
Silen raised his head: "Huh? Change the order?"
"That music box, switch it to the first half. I've seen this thing last time. Put this thing in the second half. It will make other colleagues laugh at us because we have no stock in the auction." Sharon straightened up and held the beauty's breasts with his big hands. At the waist, the other hand clasped the auction process on the table in front of him.
"Music box?" Silen remembered. This seemed to be a lot sent by an apprentice. He took a look at it himself. The music sounded very good, the illusion was very immersive, and there was a vague weird feeling. He couldn't tell it himself, but based on his many years of experience, he felt that this might have a good price. It was arranged for the latter part of the auction.
"Sir, I have seen this music box myself and I think it is very good. Although it is a bit reluctant to put it in the later class, it is very creative, and it is a rare enchanted alchemy. Even the alchemists in the family have never seen the enchantment on it. , you can enter the later class..."
Sharon quickly waved his hand: "Creativity? Fantasy? Come on, I saw a similar music box half a year ago and bought it for only more than 100 magic crystals. Your starting price is only 300 magic crystals, who would buy it? "
"Have you really seen this music box?" Silen asked doubtfully.
"Am I still going to deceive you?" Sharon said angrily: "This is my order. Quickly switch to the front-end class. The starting price is... 50 magic crystals! This is because he is an alchemy product. Otherwise the starting price is lower.”
After all, Silen is just an auctioneer, not a decision-maker. In the end, Silen nodded and agreed with Sharon: "Okay, then I will make a replacement with the 37th lot."
"37 items is still too late, put it within the first five lots." Sharon blocked it.
Xi Lun paused for a moment. He thought this music box was very good. The first five were even worse than the first-class "Ying Rong Potion". The Ying Rong Potion was even just a beginner's product for alchemy! That music box has finally reached the advanced level.
Silen now seriously doubts whether the head of the Sharon family has ever seen the music box?
When Silen raised this question again, Sharon's face turned dark: "If you dare to question me, get out of here!"
After Silen left Sharon's room, his expression showed confusion. The head of the Sharon family was angry. Apparently he had really seen the music box, but was this music box really that bad?
Could it be that there was really something wrong with his vision today?
Silen was suddenly plunged into self-doubt.
