Beast Throne

Chapter 222 Auction

It has been three years since the last tsunami.

Although it has been three years, many people who live by the sea still remember the scene that day. There was no wind at sea, and the unbelievable huge waves definitely did not form naturally.Kamikaze businessmen who suffered heavy losses reported this incident one after another, and the Kamikaze Empire officials had to send experts to investigate, because everyone said that there were terrifying sea beasts making trouble.

The result came out soon. The reason why there are such big waves is because some sea giants died.Sea giants are powerful wave-makers, and when they die, they generally cause huge tsunamis.But sea giants have an extremely long lifespan. If they die, their strength will gradually weaken, so they won't cause such a big tsunami.The current situation can only explain one reason. A sea giant in his prime died, and he died unwillingly. His death was extremely unwilling, and all his power was released to cause such a heavy loss.

Hearing such an explanation, the businessmen who lost a lot of money couldn't say anything. What they fear most when they go out to sea is to meet the sea giants. They even kill the sea giants who are in their prime. It takes only a few minutes to kill them. Do you still dare to seek compensation from others?He could only grit his teeth and swallow the breath.

But everyone didn't know that there were so many stories about the death of this sea giant, as well as the life of another monster.

Fishing Net City, this is the southernmost city of the Kamikaze Empire. Three years ago, it was a city dominated by fishing. The residents have been fishing for a living for generations. It is a small self-sufficient city, so it has this name.In the tsunami three years ago, Yuwang City was the first to suffer. The entire city was engulfed by sea water, causing heavy losses.Fortunately, everyone is a fisherman, and all of them are good at water, so the death toll is not many.

Three years later, Yuwang City not only did not decline, but showed a deformed prosperity.

The sea area south of the Kamikaze Empire has a warmer climate, and its products are much richer than the sea area in the north.But because of the murlocs, sea giants, and wild Naga, the Kamikaze Empire has not been able to successfully seize the resources, which annoys them a lot.

What no one expected was that after the tsunami, the three pests in the South China Sea were inexplicably and greatly reduced.As for the reason, there are different opinions. Some people said that they died because of the tsunami.

Others say that the Kamikaze Empire dispatched masters to encircle and suppress them secretly. Even the Kamikaze Empire itself doesn't believe it. If they hide in the ocean, they won't be able to catch them unless the strong in the sky take action.The strong man in the sky doesn't have the spare time to play with the murlocs, and there are many masters among the murlocs and wild Naga, so this doesn't make sense.

The last theory is more reliable. Some people saw a large number of mermaids and naga coming from the south, as if they were looking for something. Along the way, the murlocs and the wild naga started a fierce race of annihilation.Although I don't know what the mermaid and Naga are here for, but mermaids and murlocs, Naga and wild Naga basically belong to the existence of natural enemies. The most credible statement.

It is said that the Kamikaze Empire sent people to take the initiative to contact the mermaid and Naga's joint forces, wanting to test their purpose and let them eliminate as many murlocs and wild Naga as possible, but they all met with nothing. .Both the mermaid and Naga were very angry, and they were extremely distrustful of human beings.

But no matter what the reason is, the fishermen in Yuwang City have become treasure hunters in the past three years, and later many talented people joined in. A large number of pearls and gems and treasures from the seabed were discovered and all were sent to I went to Fishnet City for business.In just three years, the GDP of Yunet City has risen to an incredible height.

On this day, the semi-annual auction of treasures in Yuwang City was held in the newly built crystal hall in the city, where powerful forces and nobles from all over the continent gathered.

The Crystal Hall was just established a year ago, and the Kamikaze Empire directly invested in its construction, ensuring its absolute safety and reliability. After all, no one dared to directly oppose an empire.And the items auctioned in the Crystal Hall are not limited to treasures from the South China Sea. As long as you think the direct treasures are valuable, all of them can be taken to the Crystal Hall for evaluation.

The auctioneer was still on the stage talking and introducing the items on the booth. In the noble private room on the second floor of the hall, a girl with black hair and black eyes yawned boredly, looking dispirited.

"What's the matter, miss? Are you bored?" A beautiful young woman with black hair beside the black-haired girl asked. Although she was sitting beside the girl, her upper body was slightly bent, her leg muscles tightened, and her eyes were looking at the girl's ears. However, she expanded slightly, and one could tell at a glance that she was vigilant of the surrounding situation. She should be the bodyguard of the black-haired girl.

"Aunt Bai, are you tired? I feel uncomfortable just looking at you. Relax, even if someone wants to kidnap me, they won't do it here, unless it's the Kamikaze Empire that's trying to get my attention." The girl yawned again, fanned the stale air she exhaled with her small hand, and lay on one side on the large and soft seat, nestled into Aunt Bai's arms, as if she wanted to take a nap.

"Oh, Miss, you looked very excited when you came here. Why did you become so lazy the next day? It's hard to come out, but you have to have fun, and you have to start again in a few days. Next year It might not be possible if she can't come out." Aunt Bai's attitude towards the girl is very fond of the girl, not the respect that the subordinates have for the master.

"Hey, Aunt Bai, you don't know. When I came here for the first time the year before last, although the auctioned items looked tattered, they were all of great value. It is said that many strong men are practicing in seclusion in the South China Sea, and the auctions often I can see their relics, those are really valuable things. But this year's treasure is really not satisfactory, look at this one now..." The black-haired girl weakly stretched out a slender index finger and pointed to the exaggerated auction on the stage teacher and the item he is presenting.

"Hehe, the black pearl the size of a fist can still see the starry sky inside, and it contains the secret of stepping into the field of stars. It's so exaggerated, but it's actually just a bigger pearl, which contains a little luminescent substance. I I can't figure out what other use this thing can have other than smashing it and applying it to the face."

Aunt Bai shook her head helplessly. Her little master is different from ordinary girls. She has no interest in those shiny and shiny substances. No one can figure out what she likes.And Ms. Qi has the special ability to see through the essence of things since she was born, and she can see through the functions of the exhibited things at a glance. She is simply a precise treasure-appraisal machine.

It is also because of this that the forces that know this secret want to kidnap the black-haired girl to appraise the treasure for themselves.

"Hey, Aunt Bai, I heard that murlocs have appeared in the South China Sea recently, so there are fewer and fewer good things?" The black-haired girl asked suddenly while curling her hair with her fingers.

"Indeed." Aunt Bai replied while thinking, "Three years have passed since the last tsunami, if it was true that mermaids and naga killed a large number of murlocs, they wouldn't come every year. Murlocs have a very strong reproductive ability. Calculated by time, in two or three years, the number will almost return to the previous number. At that time, I am afraid that this fishing net city will not be able to catch treasures, and it will really only be able to catch fish. .”

"Hey, I lost another fun place." The girl seemed to be sullen, mumbling for a while, then yawned again, and turned over as if she really wanted to sleep.

But at this moment, the auctioneer finally sold the large black pearl, and the price was not bad.Of course, the auctioneer himself knew that it was just an ordinary black pearl. As for the field of stars, it was just his nonsense. After all, he relied on this to make a living, and he learned this major.

"Hey, his mother's business has become more and more difficult recently. A year ago, one of them was a treasure, but now it's just a rare thing. I really want to know if the idiot just bought it back. research into the method of stepping into the field of stars." The auctioneer's belly turned dark, he patted his face in the background and put on a professional smile, opened the curtain and walked out, and said in a high-pitched and excited voice: "Everyone, everyone, please Take a good look at the item that will be auctioned below, but it has never appeared before. According to our appraiser's test, it has only been formed for three years. What does three years mean, I don't think I need to introduce it, yes, It was that huge tsunami. Thank God, if it wasn't for it, now we would just have to take out the fish and auction it."

The auctioneer told a little joke, which stirred up the atmosphere of the auction.Everyone still remembers that tsunami. When the auctioneer said this, even the black-haired girl sat up and opened her eyes wide, wanting to see what it was. It was actually related to the tsunami three years ago.Could it be the sea giant's body? That's really worth seeing. No one has seen the true face of the sea giant Lushan until now.

Seeing that the effect was good, the auctioneer snapped his fingers at the backstage, and heard the sound of creaking wheels. Four staff members pushed a four-wheeled scooter made of crystal into the stage with great effort. There was a huge stone on the cart The unidentified object was covered with an iron cage and covered with a black cloth.

As soon as this thing came out, the nobles talked a lot.At the beginning, everyone wondered if the people in the Crystal Hall were too stingy, they didn't even have a better scooter, and hearing the creaking sound, everyone lost their appetite just now.But as soon as the crystal cart came out, everyone realized that it wasn't that he was stingy, but that he was too rich.Made a cart out of crystal, and it looks so ugly, is it crazy?

Before everyone saw what was inside, the auctioneer threw another bombshell: "Hehe, this auction item is a bit special. Apart from the contents, I can tell you clearly that these two crystal trolleys and The crystal cage above is also packaged and auctioned together."

"What?" Everyone was in an uproar. It's good that everyone is rich, but they are not stupid. To buy you an unknown object, you need to add a crystal car and a cage.If you make it look better, everyone will forget it, why should we buy your ugly crystal scooter back.

If it was replaced by small businessmen and hawkers, there might already be scolding on the scene.But what they are doing are all people who have status or think they have status, so it is not enough to scold on the spot.Everyone thought silently in their hearts: "When we are idiots, we will pay one gold coin in a while without increasing the price. Let's see who cheats whose father."

The auctioneer seemed to have anticipated this problem a long time ago, and he was not in a hurry. Instead, he said confidently: "Don't get me wrong, the reason why this crystal trolley and cage are packaged for auction is really for everyone's sake. If Without them, I don't think everyone will be able to take this thing back."

After talking mysteriously for a long time, the auctioneer calmed down after seeing everyone's expressions, and stopped talking.

But the auctioneer didn't lift the black cloth, but took a short crystal stick and poked it inside.

Hoo hoo!The black cloth made of soft silk immediately began to burn violently, turning into a pile of black ash within a few breaths.

Inside the crystal cage was a huge flame crystal.
