章 3360: Chapter 3312: Auction
At that moment!
Inside the auction house's VIP room!
The Titled Douluo responsible for guarding the place was looking at the man in front with a very respectful gaze...
He spoke up, "Why have you come here in person today? Could there be some important matter?"
The latter only smiled and waved his hand, then replied, "No, I'm just killing time. So I specially came to visit the auction house, perhaps I might encounter something valuable!"
The Titled Douluo was stunned for a second, then hurriedly continued, "In that case, we can have the auction house give you the list of auction items. Should there be anything you're interested in, I will reserve it for you immediately!"
To these words, the other simply laughed softly, declining, "There's no need for so much trouble. Since they're auction items, they should naturally find their owner through the auction, don't you agree?"
The Titled Douluo didn't know what to say for a moment and could only offer an embarrassed smile...
"Also... also true!"
The other party was from the Royal family of Xingluo Empire, even if it wasn't the case, with his immense wealth he could easily purchase any auction item he found interesting!
Seeing the situation, the man had no intention of continuing the conversation and stood up, "Alright then, since there's no issue, I'll go attend the auction now. It would cause quite a bit of trouble for many if the auction were delayed because of me!"
The former also stood up, speaking in a respectful tone, "Take care, and if there's anything you need, feel free to contact me at any time!"
Not until his figure and presence had disappeared from the VIP room did the Titled Douluo's expression return to calm...
Then, turning to the silent man beside him, he spoke coldly, "Those two individuals you were instructed to monitor, they haven't taken any excessive actions, have they?"
Only after getting permission did the latter reply, "Reporting to my lord, based on our surveillance, they appear to be simply here to attend the auction and haven't engaged in any conspicuous actions!"
With that statement made, the former breathed a sigh of relief...
"Hmm... that's good. Don't provoke them without cause, of course, but also don't let your guard down. Stay vigilant at all times, and immediately report to me if anything unexpected happens!"
Although that man exuding a deathly aura only revealed the presence of a Titled Douluo, according to his own judgment, his true strength could very well have reached the level of a Hyper Douluo, far surpassing himself!!
This naturally required extreme vigilance!
Of course, what was most important was that such a powerful entity was merely responsible for the protection of a child under ten years old!
It was hard to imagine just how mysterious the other party's identity could be!
Martial Soul Hall?
Or perhaps someone from the upper three families?
The man nodded slightly, echoing, "Yes, my lord!!"
He then vanished in a flash, leaving the VIP room...
...
The auction venue!
The auctioneer slowly opened the jade box on the table in front, from which a dazzling golden light bloomed...
Clearly, it was a piece of high-quality soul bone!!
"The first item of this auction is a left arm soul bone from a ten-thousand-year soul beast, suitable for either Assault-type Soul Masters or Agile Attack Soul Masters. Once absorbed, it will significantly enhance their attack power!"
"The starting bid is ten thousand golden soul coins, with each increment not less than one thousand golden soul coins!!"
As these words were spoken, there was an immediate stir below...
"Hiss... As expected of the largest auction house in Xingluo Empire, the very first auction item is such an excellent soul bone!"
"Indeed, the attractiveness of such a soul bone to regular Soul Masters is indescribably large. If possible, I really want to win it!"
"It's hard to imagine how rare and precious the next auction items will be!!"
"Although this soul bone is of decent quality, I'm not here for this. I'll pass on it for now!"
"Come on, if you don't have the money, just admit it; your excuse is quite novel and sophisticated. Let's just watch from the side; bidding is out of the question for us!!"
After taking a deep breath, the man shouted, "Tsk, it's just ten thousand golden soul coins, it's not like I can't afford it! I'll start, eleven thousand golden soul coins!!"
For a moment, the rest of the crowd was also driven by the atmosphere, and they began to bid...
"Twelve thousand! This soul bone is very useful to me, I must get it no matter what!"
"I'll offer twenty thousand golden soul coins, I hope you all can show me some respect. There will be ample thanks in the future!!"
"If you can't afford it, then get lost! How much can that 'face' of yours be worth? This is an auction house, who cares about your face, I bid twenty-five thousand golden soul coins!!"
"Only twenty-five thousand golden soul coins and you want to get such a good soul bone? Don't embarrass yourself, I bid thirty thousand golden soul coins!!"
The auctioneer looked at the scene before her, dumbfounded, "Ah... I haven't even started the auction yet!"
Of course, only she could hear herself...
Soon, she calmed down and started hosting the auction...
"This esteemed guest has offered thirty thousand golden soul coins, any higher takers? Opportunities like this come once in a lifetime, folks!"
As Gui Mei watched this amusing scene, he couldn't help but scoff, "This soul bone is indeed good, but without seventy to eighty thousand golden soul coins, it's impossible to win it!"
"Of course, even if one were to get this soul bone, it's another thing to be able to leave with it alive!"
Although fighting was not allowed within the auction house, once outside, robbing and killing were all too common!!
Xu Sheng casually replied next to him, "Elder Gui, it seems you often attend the auctions in the Tiandou Empire..."
Gui Mei curled his lips without committing to an answer, "Hmph, I am not interested in auctions, I'm only running errands for His Holiness the Pope!"
Xu Sheng lavished praise without reserve, "Naturally, Elder Gui, your contributions to the Martial Soul Hall are enormous, and you are the Pope's trusted advisor. I believe no one dares to question that!"
"Hmm... That's still short of... wait, you praising me out of the blue, wouldn't be having some cunning plan up your sleeve, would you?"
Elder Gui suddenly became alarmed, suspecting the other party was up to no good!!
However, he quickly narrowed his eyes and said, "Xu Sheng, you don't happen to want this soul bone, do you??"
"They are neither in quality nor in grade as good as the three that His Holiness possesses!"
Xu Sheng shook his head to deny this, "No, Elder Gui, you worry too much. I don't want this soul bone; I just want to ask a question!"
Elder Gui's guard dropped, "A question? If you just wanted to ask a question, then be more direct next time. Don't play these tricks on me, I'm not buying it!!!"
"So, what do you want to ask?"
Only then did Xu Sheng continue, "Elder Gui, have you been to this auction house before?"
There seems to be something in this auction house that can isolate spiritual power!
I'm unable to grasp its layout!
Gui Mei hesitated for a moment before giving an answer, "Hmm… I was here once many years ago, but haven't been since. Of course, there's been no need!"
