Chapter 231 Show them, premium!
The seemingly quiet and lovable host suddenly started swearing, which silenced many people who wanted to stir up trouble.
This is totally different from what they thought was easy to bully...
They knew that they could not resist the forbidden magic circle of the auction venue, and they wanted to take advantage of the host's weak appearance to show off their verbal skills.
However, I never expected that this host was so tough beyond my imagination.
Everyone's tone softened slightly, but they were still dissatisfied in their hearts.
"We're here for the gifted potion, not for those useless unlimited scrolls."
"That's right, although the unlimited scroll is convenient, its shelf life is pitifully short. Miss Corneliffe should not waste our time.
Can you get straight to the point?"
"Quiet!" The eighth-level mage who was maintaining order in the venue shouted in a deep voice with an unhappy expression.
Although he also had doubts about the scroll auction that the Phantom Exchange suddenly added, Hughes had already promised him a reward of tens of millions of magic crystals.
They also feel a little helpless...
This old man gave so much!
Although the two eighth-level mages were originally guardians sent by the headquarters, they would be grateful if they could harvest this huge amount of magic crystals.
Naturally, they also have to fulfill each other's requests.
Isn't the speed of earning magic crystals faster than the bounty order?
Ten million low-grade magic crystals is not a small amount.
Whether it is used for practice or purchasing potions, the magician's consumption in all aspects is undoubtedly a huge number.
No eighth-level mage would refuse such temptation.
The two eighth-rank mages mobilized their magical powers, controlling the entire venue to burst out with rich light. The pressure that erupted from them instantly silenced everyone.
Lin Luo saw all of this and nodded slightly with satisfaction.
He could tell that this was the spell that was pre-engraved in the magic circle.
"Silence: Great Silencing Technique!"
Soon, the magical energy of the spell swept across the entire venue.
Except for a few people, the rest of the mages were shrouded in the power of silencing and could not make any sound.
Of course, Lin Luo, who was treated as a guest of honor by Hughes, was not among them.
Seeing this, the weaker mages couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
The spells that appeared one after another not only suppressed their magic power, but now also banned their language.
If it weren't for the fact that the Phantom Exchange had a decent reputation, these mages would probably be in a panic by now.
There's no way around it. This kind of situation is bound to make people have wild thoughts.
What's more, among these people, there are also desperate criminals with shady identities.
The crowd became a little turbulent.
Before the bidders could raise any doubts, the charming Miss Liv spoke first and said with a smile:
“I believe that you will have doubts and suspicions in your hearts, but you can rest assured.
Every industry has its own rules.
The Phantom Spirit Exchange in the Aklan Empire, with its thousand-year history, naturally knows what absolutely cannot be done.
After these words were spoken, many people finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they still held the magic weapons in their hands tightly.
But then, Miss Liv's words ignited the mood that had finally calmed down.
"The unlimited scroll being auctioned this time is of level eight, and its validity period is at least one hundred years!"
Cornelieve's words were transmitted to all directions by the microphone, and tens of thousands of mages of all levels were stunned, their eyes full of disbelief.
Miss Liv seemed to be very pleased with the reactions of the crowd.
She smiled and waved her hand, asking the two eighth-level mages affiliated with the exchange to remove the silencing spell.
Almost at this moment, the crowd immediately began to shout excitedly.
But among the people's words, questioning remarks accounted for the majority.
This is normal.
The current situation is like asking the ancients to understand why a dish of stir-fried food can be preserved for several years without spoiling.
Other people's unlimited scrolls can only be preserved for a month at most. If the energy is completely dissipated, it will cost a high price to recharge it again.
Why is it that when it comes to you, it can not only be preserved for a hundred years, but also reach the rare eighth level?
Because of the protection agreement signed between the human race and the other ten thousand races, the areas close to the edge of the Star-Moon Forest are almost all filled with mages of level six, level seven, or even lower.
For them, the unlimited eighth-level scroll is simply a life-saving artifact at this stage.
The more courageous mages have even begun to plan how to use these scrolls to hunt higher-level monsters.
Some people, while still maintaining their doubts, even had a glimmer of gloom in their eyes.
Apparently, they thought the auction was a scam.
"Ms. Liv, are the current actions of the Phantom Exchange an attempt to force a sale?"
"I heard that the boss of this exchange is that old man Hughes, why hasn't he shown up?
Is it because you know this is a scam and you are too embarrassed to face us?"
“…”
Everyone spoke sharply and confronted Cornelieve, and their every word and action revealed their distrust of the existence of such a scroll.
At this moment,
"Who said I, Hughes, was a liar?"
"Who said I don't have the face to stand in front of you!"
As two voices like thunder rang out, a smiling old man strode onto the stage.
Hughes had a smile on his face, but he said without hesitation:
"As for the authenticity of these scrolls, I guarantee it in the name of the branch president of the Phantom Spirit Merchant Guild and with the thousand-year reputation of the Phantom Spirit Exchange!
These scrolls are definitely not fakes!"
The reason why Hughes did not show up immediately was because the number of scrolls given by Lin Luo was too large.
In order to set the price, Hughes had to personally verify the level of the scrolls and the specific storage period.
The result surprised him!
The magical energy fluctuations of these scrolls have all reached the peak of the eighth level.
Not only that, the power of rules stored in the scroll also really shocked him.
Although Hughes could not sense the specific power of the rules in the scroll, he was very sure that these rules had at least the power level of the second level of humanity!
If it was said that these scrolls were all made by Master Lorraine alone, he would inevitably find it incredible.
"There is definitely an extremely powerful force behind Mage Lorraine supporting him!"
This was Hughes's judgment after examining the scroll.
Therefore, while he became more and more in awe of Lin Luo, he couldn't help but want to please him.
Low-level mages might only be amazed at the significance of the second and third order rules of humanity.
But Hughes, who was at the peak of the seventh level and was still a long way from comprehending the second-level earth-based rules of humanity, felt that he had smelled an extraordinary meaning from it.
"To be able to possess the power of comprehending the third-order rules, the strength and talent of the members of this faction must be extremely terrifying!
If I could get close to this force..."
Thinking of this, the old man could no longer suppress the bright smile on his face.
He looked at the bustling crowd at the venue and thought to himself, "I must make sure the scroll sells for a high price, and I must do this without a single flaw!
Only in this way can Lord Lorraine be satisfied!"
As for Lin Luo's previous behavior of wandering around Shenglin Town, he had already imagined that he was a foreigner.
After hearing Hughes's confident words, many people began to waver in their doubts, but after all, they had not seen the real thing, so the doubts still existed.
Some people couldn't help but start muttering.
"Oh, that's easy to say. Who doesn't know how to brag?"
"Yes, President, could you please show me the real thing? I'd like to see what this scroll, which can be preserved for at least a hundred years, actually looks like?"
"Oh... No way, there are actually people who believe this nonsense? Hughes is just trying to attract attention. Is this just some entertainment aspect of the Phantom Exchange?"
“…”
Listening to everyone's words, the smile on Hughes' face gradually disappeared.
Some of these people really don't believe it.
But those weird people...
Hughes snorted coldly and said to the rude seventh-level mage, "My friend from Philips Auction House, if you can't speak, please shut up.
I'm doing things at the Phantom Exchange, and it's not your turn to point fingers at me!"
Perhaps it was the profit from the sale of Lin Luo's scroll that made him excited, or perhaps it was the possible power behind Lin Luo that gave him confidence.
Hughes' words were extremely tough, and he even dared to open fire directly at his business rivals.
The smiles on the faces of the people at the Philip Auction suddenly stopped, and the next second they felt furious, sneering: “Oh, you shameless old thing!
Now that I've exposed your lies, you want to kick me out?
In my opinion, the eighth-level scroll you mentioned is probably a joke! Hahaha..."
Everyone in the Philip Chamber of Commerce laughed wildly, with mocking expressions on their faces.
It seemed that they were certain that Hughes could not produce such a scroll and were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
But Hughes did not become furious as they expected.
But the old man's face was not angry at all, instead he smiled even more happily.
Everyone looked at each other subconsciously and immediately began to back off, feeling a bad premonition in their hearts.
Sure enough,
Hughes signaled Cornelieve to leave, then cleared his throat and said slowly:
"My friends, although this batch of scrolls has reached the eighth level, this is not the most important thing.
Most importantly…
The power unleashed by these eighth-level scrolls is as powerful as that of a level 85 warrior at its peak!
Moreover, the scrolls in the Phantom Exchange are very complete in variety, covering attack, defense, treatment, and protection, a total of four major categories.
Wherever you go, you're sure to find it useful!"
After saying that, Hughes fell silent instantly, solemnly took out four scrolls and placed them on the exhibition stand.
The instrument projected the exquisite appearance of the scroll into the sky, forming a huge, constantly rotating shadow.
The phantom not only perfectly replicated the appearance of the scroll, but also attracted some of the aura within the scroll. Although it was not fully activated, everyone present could feel the tremor from their souls.
The eighth-level scroll, there is no doubt about it!
So far,
Everyone was finally stunned by the shocking information Hughes threw out one after another.
Unrestricted, eighth-level scroll, can be preserved for at least a hundred years, and its peak power can reach ninth level!
Each of these attributes is a valuable plus point in the eyes of outsiders.
But all these entries are collected on this scroll.
It is naturally impossible to say that the tens of thousands of bidders present fully believed it.
after all,
How could such a scroll possibly exist?
Or in other words, how could it appear in this marginal area?
After a long silence, someone finally spoke up, suspiciously saying, "No...that's impossible.
According to the usual practice of the Phantom Spirit Exchange, if such a heaven-defying scroll is obtained, it will definitely be transported to the royal city as soon as possible.
Moreover, the Royal City Exchange will publicize the news for at least ten days or half a month, and will not stop until everyone knows about it.
How could it be sold in a small place like ours?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd became indignant and raised their doubts loudly.
"Liar! Don't try to deceive us!"
"Is Mr. Hughes taking advantage of our low rank? Isn't he afraid of ruining the reputation of the Phantom Exchange?"
"If you have the guts, use a scroll right in front of us and convince us!"
Some people started to make a fuss, and those who were already skeptical also followed suit, and the shouting and cursing became louder and louder.
at the same time,
Inside a private room in the Phantom Exchange.
The two girls looked at the eighth-level scroll on the stand with great interest, looking forward to what would happen next.
They were Altria and Vivian who followed Lin Luo to Shenglin Town.
Vivian, holding a cup of black tea, smiled sweetly at the person beside her and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Lorraine is truly amazing. He even has a scroll like this!"
"Indeed, this is an unlimited eighth-level scroll that can be preserved for a hundred years..."
Altria nodded in agreement and chuckled, "It seems Mr. Lorraine's background is indeed not simple. Could this be what the Human Federation calls magic pattern technology?"
Ever since she saw the terrifying number of rules that Lin Luo knew, she put away her pride and looked like she was humbly seeking advice.
Even if she wanted to ask Lin Luo for advice, she couldn't find a suitable reason.
Therefore, she and Vivian could only follow Lin Luo, hoping for an opportunity to help him.
But what a coincidence is that,
Lin Luo actually came to the Phantom Exchange and wanted to auction the scroll.
You know, she is a beloved princess after all. As long as old Arthur is still alive, the energy she can mobilize is extremely huge.
Shenglin Town is a place she often passes by. It shouldn't be excessive to place some people in the Chamber of Commerce here, right?
Because of this, she already knew the ins and outs of the transaction between Hughes and Lin Luo.
Although he was very dissatisfied with Hughes's behavior of embezzling money.
But when she thought about the fact that this matter concerned Lin Luo's interests, Altria finally kept her composure and did not interfere with his cooperation with the Phantom Exchange.
And now, Altria couldn't help but feel an anticipation in her heart, wanting to see if this scroll was as magical as Hughes said!
Moreover, Artoria has already used the communication ring to ask the Empire Logistics Department to allocate 100 million magic crystals to be used for participating in the auction.
She wants 10 of each type of scroll in this batch!
…
On the auction table,
Hughes' smile remained unchanged, but in his heart he had already started to contact the owner of the scroll.
"Lord Lorraine, even if one or two people examine these scrolls, I'm afraid it would be difficult to convince everyone. Look at this..."
Hughes sounded extremely ashamed. Lin Luo asked him to handle it confidently, but in the end, he still couldn't get it done.
In the box,
Lin Luo took a sip of tea, his face expressionless, and said calmly, "If they want to see it, then let them see it.
but……
From now on, each scroll will have a 5% premium."
It's a waste of a scroll, so naturally the cost of the magic crystals will have to be paid by the leeks.
