The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

[Water Qilin Summoning Stone]: A one-time artifact that can summon a rank 10 sacred beast, the Water Qilin, to fight for you for 72 hours.

Water Qilin: An extinct sacred beast from ancient times, it is the controller of the water element and the nemesis of evil spirits.

Feature 1: Light Footsteps: The Water Qilin can control water. It can control water elements to fly and fight in any land with water elements, and increase movement speed by 30%.

Feature 2: King of the Water. When the Water Qilin is on the water or fighting in the water, all attributes are increased by 100% (when using the Light Footsteps to control water, it is considered as fighting on the water) and it is immune to all water spells.

Feature 3: Traces of Clouds and Mist: The Water Kylin can spread clouds and mist, and wherever it moves, it will be surrounded by clouds and mist.

Friendly troops passing through the fog have their movement speed increased by 20%, their vision increased by 20%, and their hit rate increased by 20%.

The movement speed of enemies passing through the clouds is reduced by 20%, their vision is reduced by 20%, and their hit rate is reduced by 20%.

The clouds will slowly dissipate over time, and the properties will increase or decrease based on the amount of clouds.

The speed at which the fog dissipates depends on the battlefield environment and climate (a humid environment helps to prolong the duration of the fog).

Feature 4: Spellcasting unit. The Water Qilin is proficient in all water spells. Casting all water spells is equivalent to having the effect of ultimate water magic.

In addition, the Water Qilin has cultivated the hail storm into an instinctive magical power. When releasing the hail storm, the consumption is reduced by 50%, and it can be released instantly (it cannot be released a second time within a short period of time after release).

Hail storm is released to the designated area within the range of 0-300 meters in front. All targets in the area (ignoring enemy and friend) will randomly bear damage caused by a total of hailstones equal to the Water Kylin's spirit value * 200 (ultimate water effect).

Each hailstone will cause damage equal to the Water Kylin's spirit value*1 (ultimate water effect), and has a 5% chance of causing freezing for 3 seconds. The probability of hailstones can be stacked.

Note: The minimum distance that a hail storm can be specified is a circle with a radius of 5 meters, and the hail will be randomly distributed and moved within the specified area, causing damage and disappearing after falling to the ground.

Characteristic 5: Weakness to Air. The water-based secret techniques practiced by the Water Qilin are restrained by Air spells. All Air spells will cause an additional 100% damage to the Water Qilin.

Characteristic 6: Holy Beast. As a holy beast, the Water Qilin possesses the characteristics of both a sacred unit and an amphibious unit, causing 50% additional damage to all evil targets.

At the same time, as a sacred beast, the Water Qilin cannot accept to associate with evil units. If there are evil units (hell, cemetery and dungeon camp units) appear in its own (including) friendly forces, the Water Qilin will give priority to attacking its own evil units.

When fighting against evil targets, the Water Kirin will never retreat (morale increases by 10, attack increases by 100 points, defense increases by 50 points, and it cannot retreat when there are evil creatures on the battlefield).

Feature 7: Giant Creature. This unit is a giant creature with an additional 400 health points, an additional 400 mana points, and an additional 30 points of attack and defense (this feature will not be affected by the double bonus of the King of Water effect).

Characteristic 8. Super-level creature. This unit is a creature beyond the ultimate. It reduces the attack of any creature lower than its own level by 25%, and increases the attack of any creature lower than its own level by 25%.

Feature 9: Holy Beast Qilin. As a holy beast, Water Qilin has ancient sacred blood. It will not be affected by any mind control spells, nor will it be weakened by negative spell effects below the level of forbidden spells.

When the summoning stone of the sacred beast Qilin appeared, even Xu Lai was startled.

Although he already knew that there would be two foreign artifacts consigned for auction at today's auction.

But as the host and owner of the auction house, the attributes of the two artifacts would of course be presented to him first.

As for the two artifacts, Xu Lai could only say that they were worthy of being called artifacts and did not disappoint Xu Lai's expectations.

But this thing is, after all, not stronger than artifacts like the Armor of the God of Fire and the Butterfly. In order to better promote this auction, Xu Lai finally did not take action in advance.

Moreover, in order not to use his power to bully others, Xu Lai specially arranged Giselle to accompany Elvy, just to let Giselle take action on his behalf.

In fact, Elvy is a quiet person. Apart from protecting Xu Lai closely, she is not interested in anything else.

If possible, Elvy prefers to sit alone.

But Gisele is the exact opposite, she is very active and active. Wherever she is, the atmosphere is usually lively and she is also a person who cannot calm down.

Putting these two people together, only Xu Lai could do such a thing.

If the hero who held the order hadn't taken him seriously, he wouldn't have taken action himself.

But even though he took action himself, he still maintained the order of the auction. He only used his power to coerce others, not to rob them.

Otherwise, he could just kill that guy before the auction and he wouldn't have to pay a penny.

However, a mere few hundred thousand gold coins are completely incomparable to the current reputation of Qingfeng City.

If you do too many shady things like this, you will inevitably resort to this method to achieve your goals when you encounter trouble in the future.

Over time, news will eventually leak out. After all, if you don't want others to know, you'd better not do it.

Xu Lai knew the properties of the two artifacts, but he knew nothing about this one.

At that moment, Xu Lai didn't care about the other people present, and hurriedly called the beautiful maid he brought from the castle, asking her to call a person in charge of the auction who was free to come over.

"Xu Lai, are you curious about the owner of this item?"

Seeing Xu Lai was looking for the person in charge of the auction, Emilia suddenly asked.

Xu Lai was stunned and turned to look at Emilia. As a deep-sea tribe, it was obviously reasonable for them to bring a summoning stone of the water qilin, which was of the divine beast level.

Moreover, their team had just arrived, and the items for auction must have just been delivered, so it was normal that the information did not appear in his hands.

"Could it be that this artifact came from your tribe?"

Emilia shook her head and said, “The sacred beast Water Qilin has always been the totem of our Naga clan.

But in ancient times, after we withdrew from the struggle for supremacy in the continent, we no longer had enough resources to support the water Qilin, and we had long lost the favor of the Qilin clan.

Our tribe is just an ordinary branch of the Naga people. Such a divine weapon is not something that our tribe can possess.

I'm sorry, Xu Lai, we did bring this sacred beast Water Qilin summoning stone, but it belongs to the Naga Queen in the middle of the sea, and I have no right to decide."

Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said, "I think you misunderstood. I don't mean to take it by force.

What's more, now that it's on the auction block, the only way to get it is by bidding."

Emilia patted her plump chest carefully, stuck out her tongue and said:
"Xu Lai, don't blame me. I have no other choice. You know our tribe is very poor. If we lose the Qilin Stone, we can't afford the compensation."

Xu Lai shook his head helplessly and said, "I inquired about the seller's information just to make more transactions with him.

Although you are not the seller, you were able to contact the seller, which is good news."

Emilia blinked and said, "Xu Lai, do you want to buy more summoning stones?

But as a friend, I must remind you that although the sacred beast Qilin is powerful, it cannot be summoned infinitely.

No matter how powerful it is, it can only be used once and will only last for three days at most."

Xu Lai nodded and said, “I know, I have just introduced it in detail, but it is still a great supplement to combat power.

Especially in the future, we may have to fight against a large number of evil creatures, and I think the Water Qilin can be of great help to me."

Emilia thought for a moment and said, “Xu Lai, are you talking about the demons that invaded the Western Empire?
If that's the case, as an ally, we have an obligation to help you. Don't worry, as soon as I return to the tribe, I will ask my mother to contact the Naga Queen. They are sisters by blood, and they should be able to help you get a Qilin Stone."

Xu Lai smiled and said, “That would be the best, but I can’t let you help me for nothing.

Let’s put it this way, no matter what price this Qilin Stone is sold at in the end, I am willing to buy it from the Naga Queen at the same price.

If she is still not satisfied, you don't need to ask me if the price can be raised moderately by no more than 10%.

In addition, for every Qilin Stone I receive, I am willing to pay your mother a commission of 10% of the total price of the Qilin Stone, as a token of my gratitude to your mother."

Hearing Xu Lai's answer, Emilia subconsciously looked down. On the huge blackboard below, the latest price had just been filled in, a full 48 gold coins, and it was still rising.

As a divine weapon, this price is not that shocking. After all, the Dragon Slaying Sword just dropped for 150 million gold coins.

But as a disposable artifact, the price of this thing is a bit exaggerated. After all, not many people are willing to accept something that is discarded after one use.

Competing on the field at this time are the southern wealthy people on the 2nd floor and the northern nobles on the 3rd floor.

But it was obvious that the northern nobles no longer had much power, and each time they raised the price, the lowest was 1000 gold coins, while the southern rich people always raised the price by at least 5000 gold coins.

The North is about to face the invasion of demons and urgently needs to improve its strength.

However, although the Water Qilin has an attack bonus against demons, its more terrifying aspect lies in the sea.

In a place with endless water elements, no one knows how terrifying power the water qilin can exert.

Moreover, the ocean is not a very peaceful place, otherwise the wealthy people in the South would not have to form various shipping alliances.

In the ocean, Leviathan and sea dragons are all giant and powerful predators. Even the smaller sea monsters are capable of swallowing an entire ship in one gulp.

Compared to land, giant beasts are almost everywhere in the ocean where there is buoyancy to offset the force.

If the fleet is unlucky and is attacked by a sea monster, the entire fleet may be destroyed.

These wealthy people also buy the Dragon Slaying Sword to target the top monsters in the ocean.

Sea dragons are pure dragons, and other sea monsters like Leviathan also mostly have dragon bloodline. Even if they don't, they are giant creatures themselves and receive additional bonuses from the Dragon Slayer Sword.

However, in order to make good use of the Dragon Slaying Sword, at least a powerful warrior is needed.

The Water Qilin doesn't need that. Any ordinary person can throw this summoning stone on the ground and bring out a powerful Water Qilin.

Although the Water Unicorn can only exist for three days, it is enough for the fleet to get rid of these sea monsters and even hunt them down.

Therefore, these wealthy people from the south are also determined to obtain the Water Qilin's summoning stone.

Soon, when the price of Qilin Stone reached 56 gold coins, all the northern nobles chose to give up and surrender.

There is no way. Although the Northern Empire was not conquered by demons, it has been ravaged by them.

Moreover, before the demon invasion, the Northern Empire and the Western Empire went to war, and the losses were quite heavy.

What's more, the North can only rely on land transportation, and its commerce is far less developed than that of the South. Even if it had not suffered these, it could not be a match for the merchants of the Southern Empire.

"60, one time in Box 5 on the 3th floor."

"61, one time in Box 2 on the 7th floor."

"70, one time in Box 5 on the 3th floor."

After filming the Dragon Clan materials, Wei Yihong left the stage. As the Minister of Commerce, he could only open the show, but he couldn't stand there for the whole day.

After Wei Yihong left the stage, several people with loud voices replaced him and stood in various corners, acting as human megaphones.

Xu Lai and these wealthy southerners were competing fiercely for the business.

The ordinary people in the hall were reluctant to even eat.

Today's auction is a full-length event, so those sitting in the box naturally don't need to go out for dinner.

But the people in the hall were either hungry, or could only have tea and snacks, or go out to eat first and come back to see if there were any seats left.

These wealthy people from the south are indeed quite something. No matter how high Gisele bids, they will always give her another ten thousand.

But Gisele is also fearless.

Xu Lai had told her that the funds she could use were unlimited. On the contrary, those wealthy people in the south, no matter how much assets they had, had to consider the costs.

They have more funds, more investments, and are more cautious about spending money.

"Box No. 5 on the 3th floor, 90 for the second time!"

The rule of this auction is to drop the hammer three times. If no one bids higher each time, the hammer will drop within 5 to 30 seconds.

After all, there are quite a lot of items in this auction. If all of them were to be sold, it would probably take two or three days to finish the auction.

The opportunity was fleeting. Even if Xu Lai did not explain anything, the auctioneers who came on stage would definitely be on Xu Lai's side.

Before those southern tycoons could think clearly about whether to continue filming, the sledgehammer on the stage fell for the third time.

There was a gap of about 10 seconds in between, and no one could say it was unfair, after all, some people had already fallen in 4 or 5 seconds.

Those who hesitated just sighed. No matter how powerful the artifact was, it was only disposable. If they raised it again, it would cost nearly a million, which was equivalent to a permanent dragon-slaying sword.

No matter how rich you are, you still need to take a few more seconds to consider.

But the opportunity always passes by so quickly.

"The next item to be auctioned is the collection of an earl on the grassland. It contains three sets of collection-level fine steel armor, all with advanced enchantment effects."

The host on the stage continued to introduce the items, while Emilia in the box opened her mouth and said to Xu Lai:

"Xu Lai, are you still willing to accept 90 gold coins for each?"

Xu Lai was also extremely distressed. If this thing had not been put on the auction block, it would never have sold for 90 gold coins.

If they were to go to those southern merchants privately and they were willing to give them 10 or 20, smoke would be coming out of their ancestral graves.

"Yes, of course. When have I ever broken my word?

Not only do I want it, but I want as much as I can. At the same time, I promised your department that I would provide you with the commission without a penny less." (End of this chapter)
