Naruto Alchemist

Chapter 114 The Puppet and the Sword
Seeing the astonishment on the faces of Satoji and Satosan, Sangsuke shook his head with a smile, "Do you two think that the Philosopher's Stone is a high-end commodity? It's really lucky that you can auction it at any auction. arrive?"

Satoji wiped the sweat from his brow due to excitement, "But the No. 20 pages 27 to [-] of "Introduction to Alchemy", don't they talk about the Philosopher's Stone?"

"What color is the Philosopher's Stone?"

"red!"

Sangzhu raised the jewel in Yang's hand, "What about this one?"

Satoji and Satosan understood the meaning of Sansuke. This stone is not pure red, it looks like red mixed with other colors, a kind of 'red' that is difficult to express in words.

"This can't be called a sage's stone." Sangzhu put down the stone in his hand, "In other words, it's not a real sage's stone. If I hadn't been in contact with similar things before, I'm afraid I would be Get confused and look away."

Satoji and Satosan still looked confused, and Sangsuke didn't continue to explain to them. After all, these two people's talents in alchemy are not very good. For them, the Philosopher's Stone is It's too early.

"But it's really like the Philosopher's Stone in Argonz's body, and I also feel a little bit of increased ability, although it's not obvious, but this kind of energy gives me the same feeling as the one in the silver pocket watch. Small round beads are very similar.”

But what exactly is this?Lesser Philosopher's Stone?
Just as he lost his mind, the familiar system prompt sounded.

[Ding, the host triggers the continuous main task E: The Mystery of the Sage. 】

[Track down the origin of this false sage's stone, and obtain enough information to complete this task.Complete the task and reward two silver pocket watches and information about the Philosopher's Stone. 】

Facing the main task suddenly issued by the system, there was nothing he could do about it, but for some reason, he always felt that something was missing in the task issued by the system this time.

It seems that there is no longer the task background introduction that has always been there.

"System, what about the task background introduction?" Sangzhu tried to ask the system, "Isn't it always there?"

After several times of questioning, seeing that the system still did not respond, I sighed helplessly. I feel that the system has become more and more unreasonable recently. It is not like when I first got the system, answering every question and never responding to requests.

If you don't have it, you don't have it. The background introduction of the mission is not an important thing. After all, the important thing is to complete the mission.

The task requirement is only to investigate the origin of this false sage's stone, as long as enough information is obtained, the task can be completed. Thinking of this, Sangzhu probably has an idea in his heart.

"Satouji, help me contact Mr. Goto of Kawa no Kuni. I will meet you later. I have something I want to consult with him."

After ordering Satoji, Sangsuke drank his saliva and continued to look at the auction table.

At this time, the lights on the auction platform were dim, and it seemed that the auction of one auction item had just ended and the next auction item was being prepared.

When the lights came on again, ten scrolls were neatly lined up on the auction stage.

Looking at the puzzled people in the audience, Yukiko explained with a smile: "The next auction will be the puppet brought by Mr. Shuntaro from the Tachibana Family of the Wind Country. Among the ten scrolls on the table , sealing ten puppets made by the Tachibana family, next, we ask Mr. Shuntaro to show us the mystery of the puppets."

Standing beside Yukiko, Shuntaro picked up a scroll, opened it and spread it on the ground, making seals with both hands.

"drink!"

Smoke exploded from the scroll, and a huge, orangutan-like puppet appeared on the stage.

"The name of the puppet is Silverback, a mass-produced offensive puppet." Shuntaro raised his hands horizontally while talking, and several chakra lines that were difficult to detect with the naked eye quickly extended from his fingers and connected to the orangutan puppet.

With the swing of Shuntaro's fingers, the orangutan puppet on the stage also moved according to his operation, either forward or backward, except that the facial expression cannot be changed, and the sound of the puppet's action cannot be hidden, the smooth movement Just like a real orangutan.

"The Tachibana House has provided a total of ten 'Silverback' puppets for auction, each with a pre-sale price of 40." Yukiko calmly read the information card in her hand.

After hearing the price, many people in the audience became restless.

It is true that in the ninja world, the puppet master is undoubtedly the most expensive item among the many ninja development directions, but no matter how much money is spent, the normal price of a puppet is only about 20. The puppet is of excellent quality, and it is impossible to sell it for more than twice the market price.

A few people noticed the astonishment in the eyes of the auctioneer Yukiko, which was contrary to the expression, so they didn't say much, just sat quietly and waited for Yukiko to finish speaking.

Yukiko put down the cue card in her hand, took a deep breath, and announced in a slightly excited tone: "Mr. Shuntaro said that those who buy puppets can go to Tachibana's house to learn puppet art for a period of one day." year."

As soon as Yukiko said this, there was an uproar in the audience.

Puppets are nothing, as long as you have money, you can buy them, but puppetry is not something that can be learned so easily, especially the puppetry of the Tachibana family. The puppet art is also one of the best, and the puppet masters they teach are undoubtedly not the top figures among the puppet masters.

If the younger generation of the family can be sent to the Ju family to learn puppet art, after one year, at least an excellent puppet master can be obtained. Maybe you can even reap the friendship of the Tachibana family.

Thinking of this, the eyes of everyone in the audience turned red.

"There are ten puppets in total, and they will be auctioned in groups of two. The starting price for the first group of puppets is 80, and each increase should not be less than 10. The auction begins now!"

"90 million!"

"100 million!"

"120 million!"

"That guy named Shuntaro is too disgusting. In order to raise the price, he actually played such a despicable means of bundling sales." Keita said angrily, "Brother Taniguchi, do we really have a chance of winning?"

Taniguchi looked a little serious, "I don't know, but Master Sangzhu is willing to gamble us the reputation of the Sato family, then he must have his own thoughts and plans, we just need to do what we can do well."

"Kingta, I'll wait for the auction items of the Sato family, and you will go up and display them."

Keita was stunned for a moment, "Let me do it? I'm not good at fighting. Shouldn't Satoichi or you do this kind of thing?"

"It is because you are not good at fighting that I let you demonstrate."

Seeing Keita's flustered expression, Taniguchi comforted him with a smile.

"Don't worry, the weapon that Master Sangzhu forged this time is not a weapon in the ordinary sense."

The auction of ten puppets ended soon, and Shuntaro walked off the stage with a big smile on his face. He looked proudly at the seat of Sato's house.

"It's too arrogant." Many people present shook their heads after seeing Shuntaro's attitude.

Although Shuntaro's posture was ugly, it was reasonable for him to be so arrogant. After all, the ten puppets he brought were sold for a high price of 970 million.

That is the highest price in the market so far!

Taniguchi directly ignored Shuntaro's provocative eyes, he still looked like an old monk in meditation, quietly looking at Keita and Sato Kazu who were walking towards the backstage.
