Chapter 147: A weird magical tool? International auction, dragon egg

Old Man Bao is a simple person. He likes to make tea for himself and spend his leisure time in the backyard.

And Lingling won't take the initiative to clean the place.

Leng Qing, Dasheng, or Mo Fan, the hunting mages hired by the hunting lodge, would come back and clean up when they had time, but they were not specialized in this after all.

Apart from that, the hunting ground doesn’t have a single stable staff member, not even at the front desk!

So, let Liu Ru and Liu Xian take over!

Lingling blinked and said, "Lu Ran, do you pay them?"

Lu Ran nodded and said, "Of course, how about using your small treasury?"

Lingling curled her lips.

After hearing this, the sisters Liu Ru and Liu Xian nodded vigorously.

Only a fool would refuse this high-paying job that is right on his doorstep!

Moreover, although the two sisters are not mages, they have long heard of the reputation of the person in front of them!

In the newspapers and on the Internet, the news that Mingzhu Academy has produced a monstrous student has been widely circulated!

It’s a blessing to be able to work for such a genius and monster.

"Benefactor, we can come to work anytime!" Liu Ru said, patting her bulging, undulating chest.

"Huh? You call me benefactor, but I pay you a salary." Lu Ran sighed.

The two sisters Liu Ru and Liu Xian looked at each other and smiled sweetly. It turned out that their benefactor liked this tune?

The two sisters shouted in unison:

"Boss~"

On the side, Lingling rolled her eyes non-stop, her eyeballs almost popping out.

A client who was sitting in a corner of Qingtian Hunting House and applying for a commission was feeling frustrated:

“I hate rich people”

Pearl Master Tower.

"Here, these vampire fangs, pick a few that catch your eye."

Huo Tuo looked at the table full of more than a dozen vampire teeth, his mouth wide open, unable to close for a long time:

"Really, there are vampires?"

Lu Ran laughed when he heard this: "Why, as a master forger, you can't tell the real from the fake?"

Huo Tuo fell silent, and suddenly thought of the news a few days ago about a club being closed down and some officials being laid off.

"Um, the North Country Club, was it you who brought it down?" Huo Tuo asked.

Lu Ran shrugged and said:

"The black industry that vampires profit from has nothing to do with me. If you insist on talking about it, I will kill their big brother."

Huo Tuo was speechless and said after a while:

"I won't take advantage of you. I'll keep the big one for yourself."

As he spoke, Huo Tuo picked out four vampire fangs of a moderately large warrior level.

Seeing this, Lu Ran said, "Can the remaining fangs be melted together with the snake scales? Is there any hope?"

"Also, I have some rare materials here, which are rare and valuable. I'd like you to refine them as well. Of course, I'll pay for them."

In Lu Ran's opinion, the vampire's teeth are also an uncommon forging material, and they must be put to good use.

The rest were treasures that had been piled up in the space ring for a long time. Many of them were stolen goods, obtained by killing people and stealing treasures. This time they could be disposed of.

Upon hearing this, Huo Tuo picked up the space ring that Lu Ran handed to him and glanced at it. His face looked strange and he did not give an answer immediately.

After all, he had never come into contact with vampire teeth before.

The materials in the space ring are rare, but also varied, and many of them have very different properties, so they are not suitable for smelting together.

However, with his rich forging experience, he said with some confidence:

"It's possible, but I warn you in advance that there are still certain risks. The magic tools and magical instruments you forge in the end may very well be incompetent. You will bear the consequences yourself."

Lu Ran had no objection and agreed directly.

After all, there are not many forging masters in the Magic City who can be compared with Huo Tuo.

Afterwards, Lu Ran signed a long list of exemption agreements with Huo Tuo before leaving the Pearl Tower.

A few days later.

International auction on the top floor of Shanghai International Trade Center.

Mu Nujiao was wearing a luxurious cloud-sail long dress, standing tall and graceful, dignified and elegant, and her proud figure attracted attention.

Lu Ran was also wearing a suit, and Mu Nujiao was holding his arm. The two of them came together to attend this international auction.

"This auction has investments from the four major families of Magic City and many other powerful forces. There should be quite a few people attending today."

As soon as Mu Nujiao finished speaking, she heard a familiar greeting.

"Brother Ran, Brother Ran, what a coincidence!"

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a blond man waving his hands high in the distance, heading straight towards them.

The person who came was Zhao Manyan, and there was another person beside him, Mo Fan.

"I haven't seen you for a while. Your cultivation has improved." Lu Ran commented with a smile.

Zhao Manyan shrugged and pointed at Mo Fan, saying, "It's all because of this guy being so arrogant. It makes me feel embarrassed not to practice."

Mo Fan also smiled: "Okay, I came to join in the fun today. I didn't expect to run into Brother Ran."

Although the two were in the Qingtian Hunting Ground together, they rarely met.

Then, Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan greeted Mu Nujiao.

Mu Nujiao smiled gently, nodded, and handed the initiative of the topic to Lu Ran.

Seeing this, Lu Ran also smiled and said:

"Judging from your expressions, you seem to be well prepared. Could it be that there will be a big item at the auction today?"

Zhao Manyan gave an enigmatic smile. "We do have a treasure trove, a sub-dragon egg from a Western noble family! It's incredibly rare."

Lu Ran's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, and there was not much ripple in his heart.

The truth is that Yalong has no appeal to him.

For others, owning a dragon mount is definitely the journey to the peak of life.

But the problem is that if Lu Ran wants to ride, he must ride the Silver Dome Lord of the Grand Monarch level, or the Supreme Monarch Totem Black Snake.

Having stepped on the supreme monarch, how could he still look down on Asian dragons?

However, this dragon egg reminded Lu Ran of someone.

"Rumor has it, I heard there's a Westerner coming to the auction today!" Zhao Manyan muttered softly, glancing around.

Mu Nujiao smiled when she heard this: "It's an international auction after all, so it's normal to have foreign tourists."

Zhao Manyan shook his head and gave a thumbs up.

Mu Nujiao looked at it and was a little surprised.

Lu Ran spoke up at this time: "A dragon egg will be unearthed at today's auction. Could it be that the Grand Duke of the Victoria family of Europe is here in person?"

As soon as these words came out, the three people's eyes were fixed on him.

Zhao Manyan clapped his hands fiercely and exclaimed:

"Amazing, Brother Ran! You guessed it all!"

Lu Ran smiled without saying anything, motioning him to continue.

"However, Grand Duke Irene may not appear in public. Brother Ran, if you want to meet him," Zhao Manyan chuckled.

Lu Ran frowned, coughed lightly, and used the voice of his mind to convey his message:

"Mu Nujiao is still beside us!"

Zhao Manyan's eyes widened, and he changed the subject, "Even if I wanted to see him, I couldn't. After all, outsiders aren't allowed into the private room unless the host invites them."

Mu Nujiao glanced at Zhao Manyan indifferently, then withdrew her gaze and said:

"Tutu is here today too. I'll go pick her up. Tutu and I will go to the box to wait for you later."
