Start by analyzing the Holy Light

Chapter 101 Mask
The layout of the hall is somewhat similar to that of an opera house. The overall shape is circular, and there is an item exhibition stand in the center. At the moment, Mr. Eco, the bishop of St. Michael, is leading everyone to pray to the goddess devoutly on the stage.

Then, the church choir walked to the front of the shrine and praised the goddess with ethereal and neat singing that seemed to cleanse the soul.

After the religious ceremony, Bishop Aike came to the side where the choir was standing just now, and began to announce the origin of tonight's charity gala, and who donated what auction items. As for the donation process, it was left until the end of the auction after the next process.

"Thank you for coming, as the Bishop of St. Michael's Church, I feel very honored to be with you again"

"Finally, thank you again to all the guests for your generosity and support," Bishop Aiko announced.

Amidst the warm applause, a priest wearing a black seminarian robe came to the stage to take over the position of Bishop Aike and began to host tonight's auction.

"There are a total of fifty auction items in this auction." The priest with a holy emblem on his chest, a clean face and no beard introduced.

"The first auction item is a work of art, the painting 'Night Sky' by Vincent Rohner, with a starting price of £100."

As soon as the priest's words fell, a priest would push the table trolley to bring the painting up. The frame behind the painting seemed to have bearings and other things added to it, and it was slowly rotating on the table, so that every guest could have a good time. Can see details.

Under the stage, where a group of bishops and priests of the Dawn Church gathered, Ryan couldn't help being shocked when he heard the first auction item: "The starting price of a painting is one hundred pounds? This is enough to buy one-third of my potion." accessories."

One hundred pounds, at least, can provide a family in the civilian area with food and drink for several years, but here, it is only the starting price of a painting.

This gave him another deep understanding of how big the gap between the rich and the poor was in Gervin.

Although Ryan was not interested in the painting, many aristocrats and businessmen were still very interested in it. After several people competed to increase the price, the painting was finally auctioned at a high price of more than 320 pounds.

"Mr. Vincent is Layton's most famous painter in recent years, even in the Loen Kingdom in the north, he has a lot of fame; moreover, he himself is a fourth-level great magician."

"It's a pity that this painting is just an ordinary painting. If it is a scroll painting that contains magic power, the price will at least triple." Harvey explained in a low voice.

Lane nodded.

If this is the case, it can be understood. In many cases, the value of the painting itself is not high, and the value depends more on the identity of the artist. For three hundred pounds, there is a chance to get the friendship of a great magician. I believe there are still many People are willing to bid.

"The sixth auction item is Love Mountain's unique spiritual herb - Glazed Leaf. It can be used as the main material of the recovery potion. It has a powerful recovery effect and the ability to dispel negative states."

"There is only one copy, and the starting price is three hundred pounds."

Ryan was listening and didn't make a single shot.

These auction items are all donated items, which are more precious to ordinary people or low-level extraordinary people, but for Ryan now, they can only be regarded as better than nothing.

On the contrary, Harvey took a few shots, and took a portion of the elixir and a portion of the powder of the Shining Stone.

Having nothing to do, Ryan quietly observed everyone in the banquet.

After Harvey's introduction, he met quite a few guests just now, and he also has a certain understanding of Layton's current situation.

So far, 1 auction items have been auctioned, and more than 3/[-] of the auction items were taken by emerging nobles, and most of these items were donated by famous artists or celebrities. See It can be seen that they seem to be eager to integrate into Layton's upper class society.

In contrast, the old-school nobles were much quieter. Not only did they not bid much, but many items were donated by them, and they always kept a certain distance from the emerging nobles.

"It seems that they are all huddling together to keep warm. The situation of the old nobles seems to be not as easy as I imagined." Ryan thought silently.

"Is there nothing you're interested in?" Harvey's voice sounded beside his ears.

Ryan shook his head and said nothing. These items are very precious to low-level people, but he doesn't need them anymore. Artworks and jewelry are useless to him. Why buy them back?
"No. 40 five auction items, a mask with the ability to transform, the wearer can change his facial features into other species or forms, similar to transformation magic."

After the priest's voice fell, the hall became much quieter,

Transformation magic requires at least level three or above to master, not to mention making transformation magic into magic props, which requires at least level four or even level five.

How could such a precious item be donated?Which boss made the move?

"We have already tested the ability of the mask, and it does have the ability to transform." The priest paused and said with a wry smile:

"But the problem is that after the transformation, it may not be possible to return to the human form, or in other words, it may not be able to return to its original appearance."

"At present, the safe use time we can determine is only 30 seconds. If this time is exceeded, some extremely serious problems may occur."

"For example. The appearance is permanently retained with some deformed features, or it has a certain tearing effect on the soul."

"In addition to this, there may be other negative effects." The priest shook his head and continued: "The starting price is 100 pounds, please think carefully before bidding."

In the audience, hearing such negative effects, everyone became much quieter.

Compared with these negative effects, the transformation ability of the mask itself becomes a bit insignificant. After all, it can only transform for 30 seconds, and it doesn't even count as a real man for 3 minutes. What's the use?

If you have to worry about it, this mask may be used as a weapon to entrap your competitors, but to make your opponent wear the mask and not take it off for a short time, the effort required is not as simple as a direct confrontation.

It is a pity that it is tasteless.

Although Gwen didn't have this idiom, the feelings in everyone's hearts were roughly the same, which also led to very few bidders after the mask auction started.

"110 pounds." A voice sounded from the corner of the hall.

After a moment of silence.

"110 five pounds." Among the crowd of emerging aristocrats, a rich man held up a sign.

Ryan, who was eating melons silently, glanced at the mask on the stage, and his pupils suddenly shrank slightly.

"120 pounds." Ryan raised the sign and shouted.

Harvey turned his head to look at Ryan in surprise, and whispered, "What are you doing filming this for?"

"This is a useless prop. Looking at its negative effects, I guess its original maker may be some evil alchemist."

"I'm a little interested in its capabilities, don't worry, I won't use it." Ryan shook his head.
