Chapter 865: The Auction Begins
“It’ll be extremely disadvantageous to us when experts like that help the Dare tribe. Since they’ve been drawn to the Dare tribe by crystal coins, I wonder if we can draw them over to us with an even greater price. If that’s possible, our tribe’s strength will increase even more again without a doubt,” said a protector elder of the Menghuang tribe.
“The price to draw over two 14th Star Seasoul Warriors definitely won’t be little. It’ll be at least ten million grand quality crystal coins but if we want to take the spiritual vein in the Dare tribe’s possession, this price will be worth it,” murmured the current patriarch. Afterward, he followed a servant with the two protector elders and his clansmen into the auction center.
The small disruption on the platform did not affect the auction at all. When the people of both clans disappeared from the platform, it became peaceful once again. Many large tribes and organizations arrived on the platform in an orderly fashion, before being escorted away by an enthusiastic servant.
The auction of Jass City was extremely grand. The fifty-meter-tall castle was emptied and divided into ten floors, where each floor was filled with seats. At the very front was the stage where objects were displayed and auctioned off.
The private enclosures were built into the highest parts of the walls. It wrapped around the entire castle, separated by a special type of glass. The people inside could see exactly what was going on outside but people outside could not look in.
Within the private enclosure, Jian Chen and Nubis sat comfortably on a soft sofa with satisfied expressions. The patriarch sat beside them, studying the situation of other enclosures through the special glass.
The servant who had escorted the three of them carried many delicious desserts and fruits of unknown names, which she placed on the crystal table. She said, “Warriors, these are all delicious desserts and fruits of the Sea race. Please try them as you please. I am called Lan Shuiling. If the warriors require anything, this servant will do her best to fulfill the warriors’ requests.” Lan Shuiling smiled brightly. She exuded a special charm, while a cheerful light flowed from her bright eyes.
Nubis clutched his head on the sofa, half inclined. He squinted his eyes at Lan Shuiling while his lips curled into an evil smile. He joked, “If I, the great Nubis, wants your body, will you fulfill my request too?”
“Of course!” Lan Shuiling smiled charmingly and began to take off her clothes slowly. It immediately revealed a great section of her water-blue skin.
Seeing this, Jian Chen frowned slightly. He waved his hand at Lan Shuiling. “Alright, you can stop stripping. The three of us need to discuss some important matters. You can go out for now. We’ll call you when we need you.”
“Yes, esteemed warrior.” Lan Shuiling stopped taking off her clothes and bowed courteously to the three of them, before leaving with gentle steps.
“What a provocative girl,” murmured Nubis as he watched Lan Shuiling disappear off into the distance with bright and limpid eyes.
“Nubis, surely you haven’t taken a liking to her.” Jian Chen laughed softly.
“Piss off. I, the great Nubis, do not take a liking for ordinary girls like that. Though you’re pretty good, aren’t you? To actually hook up with that devastatingly beautiful girl. Admirable, truly admirable.” Nubis smiled evilly as he reached the end of these words.
…
Two hours later, the large center was finally filled with people. Various discussions filled the entire place like the constant buzzing of a bee.
“Guests!”
Suddenly, a bright voice rang out. It echoed through the entire center and the voices of all those who were seated finally quietened down.
In the blink of an eye, the noisy center became deathly silent. Only a large mass of people could be seen.
A slightly skinny old man stood on the platform at the very front with a smile. The voice from before was his and he was the auctioneer this time. He was a 13th Star Seasoul Warrior.
“Guests, I welcome you warmly to the grand auction held once every hundred years. Not only will we be displaying even more treasures and worldly wonders than previous auctions, we’ve also received the last fragment of the Octoterra Map, which has received the attention of many large tribes,” the auctioneer paused slightly when he reached here, before continuing, “I believe that many of the seated guests know very well about the origins of this fragment. It was left behind by the Octoterra Emperor who once shook up the entire sea realm.”
