I have to say, everyone was stunned when they heard what Red Ponytail said.

Thousand Worlds Tree is not well-known in Europe, and only showed up during the fight against the Magic Association. But now only the top leaders of the Magic Association still remember them - this is also normal, after all, the news below is blocked.

But now... they are actually confronting the Magic Eye Collection Train head-on?

"It's not right for you to do this, Miss Red Ponytail."

At this time, Hanano Hishiri stood up with a smile.

"Everyone here is a magician. If you do this, it will cause public outrage, right?"

"Just them?"

Fang Zheng glanced around, and although she didn't say it, everyone could see the look in her eyes that said, "I'm not referring to a certain person, I'm saying that everyone here is garbage."

Immediately, several magicians clenched their fists, tensed their bodies, and then... sat down again.

It’s not like they didn’t see the scene where Red Ponytail destroyed the Son of Fu Hailin. To fight against a monster that destroyed the Son of Fu Hailin in a blink of an eye - the magicians here are not that stupid!

"Listen carefully, I will only say this once."

Fang Zheng stared at the Rose Girl in front of him and whispered.

"For the sake of Arteluci, I'll give you this chance... Don't even think about you being a clone, even if it's Rita Rojian herself, I'll leave it at that. Don't even think about taking our Thousand Worlds Tree, or I'll send you on this broken train to the west. Do you understand what I mean? I mean what I say."

“…”

Hearing this, the Rose Girl was silent for a moment, then stepped back.

"Then this operation to remove the evil eye is over."

After saying this, the Rose Girl disappeared into thin air again. Only then did the surrounding magicians breathe a sigh of relief. They didn't want to be involved in the confrontation between the Thousand Worlds Tree and the Magic Eye Collection Train. More importantly, they came to buy Magic Eyes, not to cause trouble. If Red Ponytail really smashed the Magic Eye Collection Train's place, then wouldn't the Magic Eyes they wanted to buy be gone?

"snort."

At this time, Fang Zheng also put away his sword, and then walked out of the reception carriage with the girls. At this time, Fang Zheng saw El-Melloi II also coming over.

"Oh, you're alive."

"Thank you so much this time."

Looking at the red ponytailed girl in front of him who was greeting him, El-Melloi II frowned and whispered.

"You're welcome. It's just a matter of convenience for me."

Fang Zheng waved his hand and left. She had no interest in what the famous detective would do next. Weber might like to do this, but Fang Zheng... was never interested in such boring things.

"Thank you so much, Xiaohong."

Back in the room, Fujino and Shizune breathed a sigh of relief, but Ryougi Shiki remained silent.

"This is my duty. You don't have to worry about it. After all, we, the Thousand World Tree, are not something that anyone can mess with. It would be fine if you were a magician or Zhu Yue, but a mere senior dead apostle dared to show off in front of us. Where can we put our face?"

"But now it's over."

"What are you talking about?"

"Why?"

Fujino was shocked to hear Fang Zheng's answer.

"Is it not over yet?"

"Of course, it's rude not to reciprocate. We have to attend an auction soon... By then, we will take all the magic eyes at the auction and on this train!"

“…”

Hearing this, the three were completely stunned. After a moment, Seo Shizune finally reacted and asked uneasily.

"But, but Xiaohong, isn't this robbery?"

"It's just a robbery. Didn't this train bring you here to steal your magic eyes? If you want to rob others, you must be prepared to be robbed."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.

"Besides, how can such a dangerous thing as the Magic Eye be kept in such a private place? What if something goes wrong? For justice, for freedom, and for world peace, we must confiscate these Magic Eyes and keep them for safekeeping... and we are not unwilling to pay!"

"Well……"

Hearing this, the three of them stared at each other in astonishment, unable to speak for a moment. Although Fang Zheng's logic sounded flawed, but...

"Isn't this interesting?"

Ryougi Shiki was the first to agree. She was already upset that her magic eye was being sold. "This is my eye. You want to take it away with just a few words? Do you think I don't exist or what?" Now that she could teach the other party a lesson, she certainly wouldn't object.

As for Asagami Fujino and Seo Shizune...if you don't support or object, just take it as your consent.

Finally, late at night, the conductor's voice sounded again.

"Everyone - the Demon Eye Auction is about to begin. Please move to the second carriage, the Ten Thousand Demon Eyeballs Storehouse."

The database of ten thousand demon eyes.

As the name suggests, this place looks bigger than a university lecture hall, and all kinds of eyeballs are placed everywhere, which makes people feel uncomfortable. In the center of the luxuriously decorated stage, the conductor and the auctioneer are ready.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

After confirming that everyone was present, the conductor spoke again.

"There are five magic eyes on display this time. The performance and terms of each magic eye, the estimated transaction price, and the matters needing attention in the auction are all explained in the catalog in your hands. Please confirm in advance. In addition, according to the previous explanation, the currency unit used in this auction is US dollars. This may cause dissatisfaction to some customers. Please forgive me. This train also has a US dollar exchange service and can also contact the outside world so that you can confirm your financing status. Please feel free to use it."

After saying this, the conductor stepped aside, and then the auctioneer stepped forward.

"Then the Demon Eye Auction begins."

As he spoke, the auctioneer raised his gavel.

"First up is the Mystic Eye of 'Flame', so the starting price is one million dollars. Now, let the auction begin."

As the auctioneer finished his words, bids began to ring out.

"One million and one hundred thousand!"

"One million and two hundred thousand!"

"One million and three hundred thousand!"

After the initial offer, suddenly, a girl with long pink hair and a star-shaped eye patch raised a sign.

"Five million!"

The offer from the girl with long pink hair instantly defeated all the poor guys, but soon, another man in a white suit began to confront her.

"Six million!"

"Six million one hundred thousand!"

"Six million and two hundred thousand!"

Then, a white-haired young man raised the sign in his hand.

"Ten million!"

Seeing the white-haired young man, Fujino blinked in confusion.

"That's strange, was there this person before?"

"Who knows? I don't care..."

Fang Zheng yawned, and at this moment, the host raised the gavel.

"Ten million, is there anyone else bidding?"

As soon as the host finished speaking, Fang Zheng raised his hand.

"Twenty million."

“…”

Hearing this, all the magicians present turned their eyes to Fang Zheng. Although raising the price was normal, doubling it at once was too...

"Twenty million once, twenty million twice, twenty million three times."

After confirming that no one had bid, the auctioneer banged the gavel.

"Deal. Next, the next appearance. The Mystic Eye of Plunder. I repeat, please confirm the limitation clause in the catalog in advance. This Mystic Eye is at the 'Gold' level, and the starting price is five million US dollars."

Soon, the magicians started competing again, and this time the pink-haired girl raised the starting bid to 40 million US dollars, defeating the other opponents.

However……

"Forty million, is there anyone else bidding?"

Fang Zheng yawned and raised his hand again.

"Eighty million."

“…”

This time, the magicians' faces changed.

They exchanged glances with each other, and a rather bad thought arose deep in their hearts.

Could it be that...

As if to verify their uneasiness, Fang Zheng did not bid for the remaining two Magic Eyes, but easily won them at a price twice the highest. At this moment, the atmosphere in the auction hall had become somewhat impatient and tense. Although no one knew what was going on, looking at the posture of Red Ponytail, it seemed that she was going to buy up all the Magic Eyes in the auction hall! !

"Next, it's the final Demon Eye."

As he spoke, the auctioneer bowed solemnly to the Demon Eye beside him.

"This is also the first time this train has handled a Magic Eye of a 'gem'. It is a great fortune not only for me, but also for everyone present here."

Having said that, the auctioneer took a deep breath.

"The starting bid is thirty million dollars."

"Seventy million!"

"Eighty million!"

Unlike the previous Mystic Eyes, this time everyone invested all their money and willpower. After all, this is a jeweled Mystic Eye. If Ryougi Shiki's Direct Death or Fujino's Composite Mystic Eye appeared, they would also be sold at a higher price, but... unfortunately, the two of them don't plan to sell it.

While bidding, the magicians also quietly observed Red Ponytail, secretly praying that she would not make any more moves. Maybe the other party was using the Tian Ji horse racing strategy? In that case, even if they gave all the first four magic eyes to her, it would not matter, as long as they could get the gem magic eye!

"One hundred and twenty million!"

Soon, the amount was raised to a height that ordinary people could not reach. The three people competing for the Magic Eye were the white-haired young man, the pink-haired girl who always offered a high price, and Olga Marie.

Of course, they were also looking at Red Ponytail while bidding, being cautious and wary of her.

However, at this moment, an unexpected fourth competitor appeared.

"One hundred and forty million!"

Kanono Hishiri also joined the battlefield, which surprised the magicians.

Soon, the competition started again, and after reaching 200 million, Olga Marie and the white-haired young man put down their signs. Now only the pink-haired girl and Kanono Hisiri were left competing with each other.

"Two hundred and ten million!"

"Two hundred and twenty million!"

"Two hundred and thirty million!"

Under the pressure of Hanano Hishiri, the pink-haired girl finally chose to raise her hands in surrender. After seeing this scene, the auctioneer nodded and raised the gavel.

"Two hundred and thirty million, is there anyone else?"

“…”

No one spoke, and everyone turned their eyes to the red ponytail. Sure enough, at this moment, the red ponytail slowly raised up...

However, at this moment, another voice sounded.

"Two hundred and forty million!"

Hearing this voice, all the magicians present were stunned. Even Fang Zheng showed a surprised expression and looked at El-Melloi II who raised the sign.

Huh? This poor guy can come up with 240 million?

"I said two hundred and forty million."

El-Melloi II sat there, motionless.

"Host, can we continue?"

"So……"

Hearing what El-Melloi II said, the host nodded, and just as she was about to announce the continuation, the white-haired young man suddenly raised his hand.

"Wait a minute! Don't you think the atmosphere is a bit too tense now? Excuse me, can we take a break?"

“…”

Faced with the white-haired young man's proposal, the host hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"I accept your proposal. Let's take a fifteen-minute break now."

"What the hell is this? It's already the end, why not just finish it?"

Looking at everyone leaving the table, Ryougi Shiki complained in dissatisfaction, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Who cares? We will be the winners in the end anyway. It's just a matter of time."

Fang Zheng answered while reopening his PSP.
