Chapter 247 Auction

In the spacious hall, the crystal chandelier on the ceiling emits soft and bright light, which is reflected on the huge windows with colored glass, revealing colorful colors.

Annis frowned slightly, with a cold face, sitting on a chair covered with pure white blanket, looking very unhappy.

"Is Pato not here yet?" Her voice was also very cold, like the ice on the snowy mountain.

Pavis knew why Anis was in a bad mood.

The master of her family wanted to make trouble in her territory, and no one would be in a good mood.

He pondered for a while and said carefully:

"Master Anis, the master of the family will arrive tomorrow. He assured you that we will never destroy Hongguang City. Even if we accidentally cause losses, we will double the compensation."

Annis's eyes were sharp, and she said slowly: "This is not a matter of compensation. Remember, I don't care what you do, but you are not allowed to do it in my Hongguang City, otherwise..."

Feeling Anis's cold and calm eyes, Pavis's body stiffened slightly, bent over, and agreed in a low voice.

Anis then retracted her gaze and stopped putting pressure on the knight.

She had seen Pato's plan.

The plan was simple, just using the fire spirit fruit to lure Sauron out of his lair, and then ambush him on his way back.

There was no plan to take action in Rainbow City, probably because of her existence and the influence of other forces.

After all, the destructive power of the Sky Knight is amazing, and a casual movement of the body may destroy Rainbow City.

That's why she warned again.

Seeing Anis's expression ease, Pavis was relieved immediately, and spoke carefully again, asking:

"Lord Anis, we haven't found any trace of Sauron yet, I wonder if you have sensed his breath."

"No." Anis didn't want to answer, but thinking of Pato, she decided to give him face.

"Will Sauron sneak in quietly?" Pavis frowned and guessed subconsciously.

"Impossible, no one can hide from my perception." Anis was a little unhappy.

This is questioning her professionalism. Her combat power may be ordinary among the Sky Knights, but her perception ability is one of the best. Few people can match her.

Sauron is just a new Sky Knight. Although he killed the Black Wolf King Augustine, it is impossible to hide it from him.

Pavis smiled and said, "I don't mean to question Lord Anis. I am just worried that this fire spirit fruit will not seduce Sauron."

Hearing this, Anis smiled.

The intelligence she collected showed that this Sauron was a heavy otaku. He basically did not go out, rarely attended banquets, and often stayed in one place for more than ten or twenty days.

After a few simple words, Anis left with Pavis's farewell.

She came here suddenly tonight for no other reason, just to warn these people again not to make trouble in Hongguang City.

Before leaving, Anis subconsciously glanced at the swimming pool in the garden of the suite next to her.

Sure enough, the naked man was still taking a bath.

He has a really good figure, well-proportioned and slender, and his skin glows a light golden color under the light, with a kind of enchanting beauty.

Even without looking at his face, he is still perfect.

For some reason, she always feels a familiar feeling, but she just can't remember where it is familiar.

Anis's eyes lingered for a moment, and then flew away.

Lu He looked at the meteors in the sky and pouted his lips. He was still peeking at his body at such an old age.

He leaned lazily against the edge of the pool, and wanted to soak for a while longer, with his hands spread out and pillowed on the bank.

"Pato, Anis, seduce me..." Lu He pondered the information he had just overheard with interest.

He didn't eavesdrop on it intentionally, he did it on purpose, after all, a female sky knight ran to his next door late at night, anyone would be curious, not to mention that his curiosity was always online.

It's not surprising that he didn't recognize him.

Although his appearance has not changed much, with the evolution of his bloodline again and again, coupled with the continuous development of his body, it is difficult for people who are not particularly close to him to recognize him.

And Qi Ji is even more impossible.

Because concealing his aura has always been his strong point, not to mention the Sky Knight, even the Paladin may not be able to detect it.

After thinking for a while, he got up from the pool naked and came to the shore, and suddenly found that there was no bath towel.

He had no choice but to call Yue Ling.

In the past, Nicole prepared everything for him, including the clothes he wore, but unfortunately she was not there this time.

He could directly use the fire element to evaporate, or control his body to shake it off, but he didn't like it very much, and he still enjoyed the feeling of the soft towel touching his skin.

After a while, just when Lu He was about to get impatient, Yue Ling came out reluctantly.

She covered her eyes with one hand and held the bathrobe with the other hand, her head tilted back, and a layer of pink rose appeared on her pointed ears.

Then...

When she was still several meters away from Lu He, she threw the bathrobe out, and then moved her body and disappeared in a flash.

Her attitude was extremely perfunctory and her behavior was extremely bad.

Lu He shook his head in disappointment and decided to deduct at least half of her salary next time he paid her.

She put on a bath towel and walked into the master bedroom.

The bedroom's main color is gold. The walls, floor, sofa, bed sheets, and even the desk are all gold, but with different shades, giving it a magnificent and luxurious feel.

With a flick of his finger, a red light instantly sank into the wall, and red and black runes suddenly appeared on the wall.

Dozens of runes flickered between light and dark, releasing an invisible force field that directly wrapped and protected the entire master bedroom.

Lu He nodded with satisfaction, relaxed his whole body, and slowly lay down on the bed.

The big bed has a dark golden swan silk quilt, soft pillows, and a silky soft cotton-like mattress.

Lu He lay on his back on the bed.

The whole person was enveloped in softness and warmth. This feeling was extremely comfortable. In addition, the all-round invisible force field that he could feel gave him a strong sense of security.

He slowly relaxed and fell into sleep.

…

morning.

The weather was clear, and the dazzling sun was faintly surrounded by a colorful halo.

At the door of the hotel, a black-haired man wearing a white tunic walked out of the door with a calm expression.

The white robe he wore was the most popular style among the half-elf tribe. A white belt tied around his waist, a bit like a skirt worn by a woman. He also wore black trousers under the robe.

"Lu He, you look much more handsome dressed like this." Yue Ling looked up and down and praised.

Yue Ling's outfit is much simpler.

The upper body is wearing a light and luxurious close-fitting leather armor, the chest is arched in a moderate arc, the waist is slender, and the black trousers are tightly wrapped around the two long legs.

Lu He smiled and put his hands in the two pockets on both sides of his robe, which felt a bit like a windbreaker on Earth.

The two of them walked towards the auction not far away.

Kaili Auction House is also located in Yuguang District. It is a tall gray-white cylindrical building with a huge circular platform at the top, which looks like a mushroom.

"Dangerous building, illegal construction." Lu He commented.

"What!?" Yue Ling didn't understand.

"It means it will have to be demolished sooner or later."

Seeing Lu He's serious tone, Yue Ling suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Just as they approached the square near the auction house, there was a sudden noise of people. There were many people, like two people, coming on foot, in a carriage, and on horseback.

Kaili Auction House not only conducts high-end auctions, but also holds mid- to low-end auctions at regular intervals.

There were a large number of guards standing at the entrance. Judging from the logos on the clothes, they were from both the auction house and the Rainbow City law enforcement team.

There are several aisles in the auction house, and most of the aisles are crowded with people queuing up to enter.

There is only one passage door, but it is very clear. Occasionally, a few people will enter from there, and they will immediately receive a look of awe or envy.

The VIPs of Kaili Auction House not only represent an identity, but also status, and more importantly, a manifestation of strength.

"Is this the legendary VIP passage?" Lu He thought for a while and decided to follow the crowd.

I waited in line for more than ten minutes to get in.

The first floor is just a vegetable market, nothing interesting to see. The second floor is slightly better, but also very noisy.

Lu He patiently walked up the spiral staircase and came to the stairs leading to the top floor.

Naturally, there was someone standing guard at the entrance of the stairs, or four heavily armored guards led by a senior knight attendant. Their eyes were cold and they exuded a fierce aura.

Lu He ignored it and walked straight in.

Yue Ling, who was behind her, felt a little bit frightened and followed him closely, even holding the corner of his clothes.

But the strange thing is that the guard only looked at him a few times, did not stop him, and allowed him to go in.

Lu He suddenly became curious.

He saw that the people in front of him were holding something like invitations in their hands. They showed it to the guard before walking in. Why did he let them go immediately after they arrived at his place? Was there a scam inside?

So he exited and entered again.

Still didn't stop him, and Lu He felt that there was nothing unusual about the auras of the few people, so he walked in with confidence.

It wasn't until he left that one of the guards asked: "Brother, why did you let him in?"

"Didn't you see the gold belt on his waist? It has gems and golden beans. Even if we work hard for a year, we can't afford it!"

"We can't afford to offend this kind of person. If we stop him, we are making ourselves uncomfortable." The eldest brother spoke earnestly.

"Yes, yes, eldest brother is still awesome, and we didn't even notice it!"

A few of the younger brothers flattered him against their will, but they actually found out, especially since the man walked back and forth twice.

"And his maid, don't look at the tender skin and pretend to be scared, her strength is not weaker than mine!" The eldest brother laughed and said the most important reason.

"Fuck! Really?"

"This little beauty can really pretend, you can't even tell!"

"It's over. I've been staring at her just now...will she come back and cause trouble for me!?"

Go into the lobby.

Inside is a venue like a grand theatre, with a dome-shaped pure white ceiling, gold lamp stands inlaid with gems, each one hanging above, blooming with dazzling brilliance.

The floor was covered with a red gold circle pattern carpet, and rows of mahogany high-backed chairs were neatly arranged in a fan shape.

There are already some people sitting sparsely on top, and some are walking inside to choose seats.

In the back row, there is also a row of translucent boxes, which should be treated only by VIPs among VIPs.

Lu He casually found a seat near the front and sat down.

At the front of the venue was a semicircular black high platform. From time to time, people in black clothes walked past carrying equipment, as if they were still preparing.

After sitting for a while, about half an hour later, the doors on both sides of the venue slowly closed.

At this time, the venue was already half full, with an estimated 200 to 300 people.

There were also several men and women sitting next to Lu He, seemingly together, all wearing finely crafted clothes, exuding the kind of noble temperament from head to toe.

Among them, a man in a tuxedo would occasionally sneak a peek at Yue Ling.

At this time, a beautiful woman in a white gauze skirt walked up from the left on the platform and stood in the center of the platform.

"Welcome all distinguished guests to our high-end auction held by Kaili Auction House. I won't say any more nonsense. Now I declare that the auction is about to begin."

The woman had a sweet voice and a charming smile on her face.

As she announced the start, the noisy sounds in the venue gradually subsided.

On the platform, strong men in groups of four carried six one-meter-high black metal cages onto the stage.

These cages actually contained humans, who looked to be around 20 or 30 years old.

They were extremely tall, estimated to be at least two meters tall, naked, wearing only shorts, with explosive muscles on their bodies and scars all over their skin.

The woman in a white dress who came on stage first stood in front of the loudspeaker on the right, and her voice spread throughout the venue through the loudspeaker.

"The first auction item is the mountain barbarian warriors from the north. These warriors are all strong and their strength is equivalent to that of a junior knight attendant. Moreover, after being tamed by the witch, there is no need to worry about the backlash at all. They are very obedient!"

The whole venue was suddenly in an uproar, and many people began to discuss it one after another.

Many people did not expect that this auction house would have such a good thing, and it was put in the first auction.

"Isn't the slave trade banned? Why is Kaili Auction House still auctioning openly?"

A sweet-looking blonde girl who was sitting next to Lu He whispered to her companion.

"Xixi, what is banned is human slaves. No one of these barbarians recognizes that they are human." Xiwa explained.

"But they look exactly like us? How can they not be human?" Xixi looked at these slaves with listless expressions and numb eyes, and felt a little bit reluctant in her heart.

"Looking the same doesn't mean they are human."

Jorge next to him interrupted, and while speaking, he secretly glanced at Yue Ling, his eyes were strange and uncertain.

Yue Ling was keenly aware of his gaze and felt very uncomfortable, so she moved her butt towards Lu He.

Living in a human city, without people of the same race around her, she lacked a sense of security.

Jorge saw that this beautiful woman who seemed to be a half-elf was almost close to the black-haired man next to her, and suddenly felt extremely envious and jealous in his heart, which made him secretly hate her.

He made up his mind to ask someone about the origins of the two after the auction.

If there is no big background, just grab it directly!

Jorge believed that there should not be too big a problem, because near Hongguang City, except for a limited number of surnames, there is no force comparable to his family.

The woman was very satisfied with the customer's reaction. She lifted her hair by her ear, smiled charmingly, and continued:

"There are six warriors in total, auctioned as a whole, the reserve price is 10,000 gold coins, which sir wants it?"

"One gold coin!"

Lu He took the lead and immediately shocked everyone.

After quoting the price, he suddenly remembered a serious problem, so he turned his head and asked Yue Ling: "Do you have money?"

Yue Ling shook her head subconsciously. She was a little confused and had not yet reacted to Lu He's price.
