Mott's eyes, hidden beneath his hood, flickered. "Didn't Master suspect that other Chosen Ones had entered our world?"
"Impossible. My divine essence has a special ability: once another chosen one communicates with it or uses its power, it can locate them no matter how far away they are. Do you think any chosen one would ignore my divine essence after all this time?"
Seeing the certainty in Fang Yuanyuan's words, Mote lowered his head as if in agreement.
"I will arrange the trip to Palin Town and the Central Forest for you, Master. When will you depart, Master?"
Hearing Mott's words, Fang Yuanyuan's tone softened, "It's a good thing you're here, Mott, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do?"
"My pleasure."
Mott's words cheered Fang Yuanyuan up a bit. "Tell those dwarves to speed up the production of weapons. They're not far from the elves, and there might be a fierce battle ahead. Also, tell Annie to come back quickly."
As the auction drew closer, more and more National Guard soldiers poured into the town of Palin, along with people of different races.
However, these are all powerful races; those without combat strength dare not get involved in this mess.
Originally, this auction was only for humans, but Fang Yuanyuan offended other races. In order to quell their anger, she had no choice but to offer benefits.
Seeing the ever-increasing number of National Protection Army soldiers and foreign tribes, even the most ordinary people could sense that something was wrong.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in Palin Town, which had been bustling with excitement because of the appearance of the artifact, became somber.
An Ge and Hu Jiu, dressed as mercenaries, walked through the town, curiously watching the passing foreigners.
A vampire passed by, seemingly having spotted a delicious treat, and headed straight for An Ge. Before he could get close, Hu Jiu blocked his way.
Seeing Hu Jiu's intimidating demeanor, the vampire curled his lip and left unwillingly.
"This place is too complicated, why did you have to come and join in the fun?" Hu Jiu looked at An Ge, who was full of interest, and smiled helplessly.
"I heard Fang Yuanyuan is coming today. We're about to confront her head-on, so of course we need to find out what's going on with her." She took time out of her busy schedule to come here for a stroll.
Perhaps, it will even cause Fang Yuanyuan some trouble.
With the two admission tickets that Oris had obtained, the two entered the auction house without any trouble and found a seat at the back of the hall.
The auction house was much as An Ge had imagined, divided into two floors. The upper floor had private boxes for the powerful and influential. The lower floor was the main hall, where ordinary people without much power usually stayed.
Directly above is a display stand where various auction items will be showcased.
Not long after An Ge arrived, people began to arrive one after another. Although everyone knew that the divine artifact would not end up in their own hands, being able to catch a glimpse of its splendor made the trip worthwhile.
In a short time, Ange saw various powerful races such as orcs, vampires, demons, and dragons, as well as some humans who were obviously dressed as members of the church and nobles.
Soon, the auction house was packed with people. Suddenly, the crowd, which had been engaged in a heated discussion, fell silent.
Following the gaze of the crowd, An Ge saw a woman dressed in a glamorous manner walk into the auction house.
The woman was dressed in gorgeous clothes, her tall crown was particularly eye-catching, and she had an arrogant expression on her face, looking noble and holy.
This was the first time An Ge had seen Fang Yuanyuan outside the host space. Perhaps knowing her true nature, and recalling how Fang Yuanyuan had once pretended to be cute, An Ge felt a sense of incongruity when comparing her current expression to her past behavior.
Regardless of their true feelings towards Fang Yuanyuan behind her back, they at least outwardly treat her with great respect. Even the alien races, before truly breaking ties with the human race, show Fang Yuanyuan a degree of respect.
Fang Yuanyuan frowned unhappily as she looked at the crowded hall, as if she were looking at cannon fodder.
Only after Fang Yuanyuan and her group left the lobby on the first floor did everyone relax a little.
"That guy behind her must be the necromancer Mort, right?"
Hu Jiu nodded. "He carries the aura of the dead, so it must be him. We must be careful of this person. I've heard that he's the one who handles many things, and it's not an exaggeration to say that he can influence Fang Yuanyuan's judgment."
The auction officially began as the two were discussing in hushed tones.
Because of the magical artifact, the items auctioned earlier lost their appeal. People bid with little enthusiasm, and many items that should have fetched high prices were sold at low prices.
The head of the Nitan Auction House was sweating profusely with anxiety.
To make the auction more exciting, they brought a lot of rare and exotic treasures from headquarters, hoping to get a good price, but they miscalculated.
An Ge wasn't afraid of attracting attention by bidding on the items in front of him. He calmly bid and managed to snag quite a few good deals.
As the auction of the artifact drew closer, the atmosphere in the entire auction house became somewhat tense.
Finally, amidst the cheers of the crowd, the auctioneer pushed an item covered with red silk onto the stage.
Everyone perked up, knowing that the main event was about to begin.
The auctioneer, a smile on his face, looked at the excited crowd and, without keeping them in suspense, said, "Please be quiet, everyone. You've all heard of this divine artifact, but almost no one has ever seen it. To be honest, I've worked for most of my life, and this is the first time I've ever seen one."
Today, our Nitan Auction House is honored to auction the only divine artifact on the continent. This is an immense honor for us. Without further ado, I'm sure everyone wants to witness the magnificence of this divine artifact, right?
After the auctioneer finished speaking, he pulled down the red silk in front of everyone's eager gaze.
Suddenly, a somewhat dazzling red light emanated from the auction stage, illuminating the already brightly lit auction house even more.
After everyone adjusted to the situation, they quickly looked up at the stage and saw a bright red magic wand lying quietly on it, with flames constantly emanating from it. Even from a distance, they could feel its energy.
"Hiss, my God, this artifact is truly extraordinary. To see such a thing even once in a lifetime is worth it." A mercenary beside An Ge stared intently at the platform, a suspicious liquid unconsciously dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry, everyone. We've had this weapon appraised by professionals, and it's undoubtedly a divine artifact. The power of a divine artifact can't be explained in just a few words. I'll just tell you one thing: this wand can burn the soul."
"What? There are weapons that can actually harm the soul? If you get hurt by it, won't your soul be completely destroyed?"
"I think this is good, at least those despicable necromancers won't have any more raw materials."
"Don't forget, this is just one of the abilities of this divine artifact. Not to mention the other abilities, I'm so eager to learn more."
"You should be content. Saying this is already more than enough. If you were to acquire the artifact, would you want others to know about its abilities?"
"This assumption doesn't exist, and I can't capture it anyway."
Everyone was talking at once, and the topic was invariably the same: the magical artifact.
