As they walked along the long passage, they saw men and women dressed in gorgeous clothes. The strong smell of perfume floated in the air, and the fragrance pervaded the air.
The light came suddenly, and what appeared in Lu Mingfei's eyes was a luxurious opera house. The air of extravagance swept in from all directions. The pillars that surrounded the sky were like the ruins of the Parthenon Temple in the acropolis of Athens, but they were painted in a gorgeous dark red color to support the dome. Giant crystal chandeliers scattered all the shadows, and the lights reflected the golden dome and the battle of "Twilight of the Gods" on the four walls. The green mandala patterned wool carpet. The red velvet seats were marked with brass nameplates, and a scarlet curtain hung on the stage. It was as if the curtain would open to show the works of some ancient Greek tragedy master.
"Your seat is number 17, which is your birthday.。”Lu Mingfei nodded and looked for a seat number.
The screen shook, and a man in a black tuxedo walked out. " Ladies and gentlemen, Sotheby's directional auction, the 2010 Summer Cultural Tour of Houston will begin in five minutes. I am the auctioneer for this auction. Please hold onto your number plates and don't miss out on the items you like. Because the items we are going to auction next are all unique.”The auctioneer paused." Now, please close your eyes when it's dark.”Lu Mingfei's eyes were filled with a golden yellow color. He glanced around and realized that the guests had all closed their eyes and lowered their heads. "It's dawn, please open your eyes!"
Everyone opened their eyes at the same time. In an instant, it was as if the opera house was brightly lit again. However, it was no longer the crystal chandeliers that illuminated the place, but countless pairs of golden pupils! This was not a simple auction, but a feast of dragons.
" Lowly mixed-blood…" Lu Mingfei muttered and lowered his head.
The auction began. One by one, incomparably precious cultural relics were moved onto the display stage, and they were immediately auctioned off at shocking prices.
"This is really crazy. I really don't know what the use of buying these things is.”Lu Mingfei chuckled as he looked at the crowd that was bidding crazily.
"The hybrids naturally have the characteristics of the dragon race. Legend has it that dragons love to collect precious metals and gems. Dragons are the guardians of wealth. They sleep on gold.”Angor chuckled and said," It's true. The greatest achievements of the dragon race are spiritual speech and alchemy. Alchemy is the pinnacle of craftsmanship. The real dragon race is always obsessed with craftsmanship and appreciation.”
"It seems that the dragons are a group of artists.”Lu Mingfei said.
After several precious cultural relics were auctioned off, the auctioneer stood on the stage again.
"Next up will be the special segment of this auction. As always, it's 'Unexpected Encounter.”The auctioneer smiled.
Lu Mingfei's eyes narrowed. He knew that the official business had begun.
"Your mission today is the item from the 'Accidental Encounter.' According to the information I have, it's something we need.”At the same time, a warm voice sounded in the earpiece." Take it down, no matter the cost.”
"This is an extraordinary item. All of us auctioneers were surprised when we saw it. It's very beautiful and is the pinnacle of craftsmanship. Unfortunately, we can't check its inheritance process, nor do we know its age, so we can't determine a suitable starting price for it. With the seller's permission, this is a rare zero starting price auction. Each increment can be one dollar.”The auctioneer raised a finger." One dollar!”
The atmosphere in the hall was a little restless. This was a new thing. The starting price of zero and the increment of one dollar each time made it impossible for people to guess about this item, and their curiosity was even stronger.
The auctioneer was very satisfied with the atmosphere at the scene. This was ingenious marketing. The first step had already attracted attention. He slowly opened the lid of the box." A mythical weapon…an alchemy sword combination!”
A sharp dark golden light flowed through the gap in the box's lid. Lu Mingfei's eyes narrowed slightly. He felt a call coming from the box. It was an extremely familiar breathing sound.
Seven Deadly Sins!
He had lost his memory of the moment he pulled out his anger under the Three Gorge…
It was a legendary alchemy knife forged by Dragon King Norton to kill his brothers and sisters.
"Do you know him? Seven Deadly Sins, both you and Nono's report mentioned that you found this set of weapons, but lost it during the surfacing process.”" It's an alchemy product that surpasses the era. Its value is immeasurable."”
"Excellent craftsmanship, very well preserved, the blade is as sharp as a new knife. "The designs are modeled after the Chinese Zhanmadao, Tang sword, Japanese samurai sword, rib difference, Damask sword, etc. They are stored in the same box, and there is a hidden button on the box to open it…" The auctioneer was eloquent. At the same time, the assistants were performing on the stage, cutting cucumbers, cutting rolled bamboo mats, cutting iron nails, and so on...
Seven Deadly Sins, who was like a tyrannosaurus, seemed to have lost his soul. The breathing and calling from the blade disappeared.
Whispers rang out from below. In the eyes of these people, the knives in front of them were nothing but sharp. They were like a set of Swiss army knives that had just been shipped off the production line.
"Ten million." A deep male voice sounded, and the entire auction hall fell into a dead silence.
Everyone tried to find the source of this voice. This crazy guy who had offered 10 million yuan.
The voice came from the left side of the private room on the second floor, number 66. Under the dark red velvet curtain, there was a ferocious figure. It could be seen that the man was wearing a set of heavy armor with scales and horns, like a medieval knight.
The opera house, which was originally filled with the style of the 18th century in Europe, was already out of place. However, this man was like a sharp sword, shattering all the disharmony.
Wearing heavy armor to the Auction House? This kind of person was either a performance artist or a complete butcher!
An absolute killer!
"It seems that the price to get this set of knives will not be small.”Lu Mingfei muttered in a low voice when he heard the bid of ten million.
"Raise the price. The academy must definitely get their hands on this set of knives. I'll contact the executive department.”A warm voice sounded.
"Twenty million." Just as the silence had yet to return, another voice sounded.
This time, the bid came from the box on the right, attracting everyone's attention. In addition to the fact that the price was doubled, there was also that special voice. No one would have thought that such a faint and casual female voice would be so charming that it would make one's mind drift.
Under the dark red velvet curtain of the private room, a young girl in a golden embroidered islamic robe sat upright. She wore white gloves and held the number 88 in her hand. The golden veil covered her entire face, revealing only her beautiful eyes with a hint of red at the corner. Her hair was combed up high, and her long black hair was tied with a bright red rope.
She sat there quietly with her eyes lowered. She looked young, but she was full of dignity, like a queen who ruled over this grand event.
" It's getting more and more interesting…" Nodding softly, he raised his head.
"Fifty million."
Whoosh. The entire place was in an uproar. This time, the bid came from the ordinary seats below. Immediately, hundreds of golden eyes looked at Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei did not say a word as he faced the countless gazes of the Golden Eyes. He simply turned his head. Instantly, the group of people felt pain in their eyes and lowered their heads in embarrassment.
Golden Eyes would only submit to Golden Eyes of a higher bloodline. Lu Mingfei was like a king, looking down on the entire venue.
"Looks like there's a problem?" In room 66, Ye frowned slightly.
"Lu Mingfei? I should have thought of it." The person standing beside Night was actually Hiroshi the Dragon's Peak. At this moment, the young man who looked gentle and weak was stroking his chin in deep thought.
"Give up?" Night looked up, revealing only two cold glows under the full-body visor.
" Just give up…" Dragon Peak said with a sigh.
" 50 million going once…" After a long silence, the auctioneer finally remembered his duty and shouted in a trembling voice.
" 50 million going twice…" The entire venue was still silent, as if everyone was shocked by the crazy price that jumped three times in a row.
" Fifty million, third…"”The auctioneer's hand trembled and he almost threw the hammer in his hand.
"80 million, Lady 88 bids 80 million!”
Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked at Room 88. The girl in the golden embroidered robe turned her head and looked at him with her golden eyes.
Cold, merciless, like a blade!
" Interesting…" Lu Mingfei nodded and chuckled. Then…
"I offer…100 million!"
P.S.: Sigh, I really don't know why the book reviews are arguing. They even said that I instructed my readers to attack someone and that you don't have to read the book if it doesn't suit your taste. Isn't that too much?
I'm almost out of drafts, and because of this, I'm not in the mood to write today.
