Chapter 249 Hatching Method
There is no hope. One million and seventy thousand gold coins are all the money he has. Even if there is one thousand more, he can't take it out.
Looking at the vortex crystal on the stage that was so close to him passing by, the man in black robe almost wanted to snatch it away.
But in the end, he ruthlessly suppressed this idea that was tempting him like a devil.
He knew very well that if he tried to snatch the food here, there would be no other result except sacrificing himself.
The Gloria Auction House is always guarded by a ninth-rank professional, with the auction house's large element pool and high-level binding array. Not to mention him, even if a real ninth-rank professional came in person, he would probably not get any good results.
With a sinister look in the direction of the top-floor box, the masked man in black robe did not act rashly, but continued to wait silently for the auction to continue.
Since he failed to win the bid for the crystal, this auction was meaningless to him.
But if he left at this time, it would seem a bit conspicuous. He didn't lack this time, so he might as well wait until the auction was over and leave with the other guests.
He had not thought of intercepting and killing the VIP of Gloria Auction House along the way to rob him of the treasure. Due to the existence of the private teleportation array, it was simply impossible to rob and kill a VIP of the Gloria Auction House.
No matter what, the crystal egg must not be lost.
He had made up his mind that after returning, he would immediately arrange for people to investigate the identity of the person in the top-floor box today and find a way to get the crystal egg back.
By any means necessary—— . ….….At this moment, in the top-floor box, as the auction came to an end, the vortex crystal egg that the black-robed man had been dreaming about was brought to Avis by the person in charge.
After paying the full amount of gold coins, Avis played with the crystal for a while.
Without the special magic lights on the auction table, the crystal now looked far less dazzling than when it was exhibited on the stage, but it still emitted a beautiful azure fluorescence.
However, after delivering the items, the person in charge did not leave immediately, but made another request.
"Dear guest, our chief appraiser has a private request. I wonder if you would be willing to tell us privately the true purpose of this crystal.
As a thank you, our bank is willing to pay 30% of the final price of this lot for you!"
Hearing the request from the person in charge, the two players in the room held their breath slightly, waiting for Avis' response.
Thirty percent of the auction price, that’s a full three hundred and twenty-one thousand three hundred gold coins!
The total amount of gold coins they have on them now is not even as much as the smallest change of this money.
“…”
Avis just smiled at the person in charge and remained silent.
"...I understand. I'm very sorry."
The person in charge nodded with a little regret, bowed again, and slowly left the room.
After the person in charge left, Avis stared at the clear vortex structure in the crystal, stretched out a little mental power, and inserted it into the crystal.
Soon, a unique feedback came back from the mental power.
Although it seemed solidified, when the mental tentacles really reached into the vortex, it was like being in a real deep-sea vortex, and being sucked into the depths of the vortex without any resistance.
Feeling the wonderful feeling of falling and weightlessness, Avis shook his head slightly, pulled out his mental tentacles, and came back to his senses.
It seemed that because of this influence, his hand suddenly trembled, and the azure crystal suddenly slipped from his hand and hit the ground heavily! "!?"
Seeing this sudden scene, the two players and Fiona gasped and their heartbeats almost stopped.
Although the auctioneer had specifically emphasized its sturdiness, it did not mean that they could sit back and watch as a crystal worth millions of gold coins fell to the ground.
"Don't be nervous, it's just a routine test."
Seeing everyone's horrified expressions as he wished, Avis smiled with some evil humor. At the same time, the crystal floated up by itself and returned to his hand.
"By the way, you guys should take a look too."
Afterwards, Avis placed the crystal on the antique coffee table and let the three curious people examine it.
He was not worried that the two players would embezzle it, because the ownership of the crystal still belonged to him and the players could not bind it even if they got it.
All unbound items will be dropped upon death.
Just as Avis expected, the properties of the crystal were displayed on the two people's game panels.
[Orange Crystal]
Quality: Legend
Description: A mysterious crystal from outer space. The vortex structure in it can slightly increase the speed of meditation, and it seems to hide deeper secrets.
Effect: Carry it with you while meditating to increase the speed of experience gain.
Special Status: Lack of Energy Seeing the last item, Avis nodded with satisfaction. The player panel is still so useful. Especially when using others, it feels even more exciting.
He had only heard of this thing before, but didn't know how to hatch it. Now, he has an idea for testing it.
"Brother, what is this?"
Looking at the crystal, Fiona was also a little curious.
"Just a slightly special pet, like your Kate. So, do you want to get another one?"
With a slight smile, Avis casually tossed it to the girl.
“Hey, this…”
Holding the crystal, the little girl was stunned for a moment, her long light golden hair flashing. She glanced at Kate, then tilted her head in confusion.
"Haha, let me figure out a way to hatch it first."
Taking the crystal back, Avis put it away under the reluctant gazes of the two players, and then turned to Fiona.
"Okay, Fei, let's go."
"Brother, are we not going to continue watching?"
The girl looked at the auction that was still going on with some confusion.
“There’s nothing worth seeing anymore.”
Shaking his head, Avis gestured to Fiona, who quickly got up with the kitten in her arms and followed him obediently.
At the same time, looking at the two players who were "consciously" following him, Avis waved his hand slightly to stop their actions.
"The place we are going to next is quite special, so we cannot take you with us. You two can stay here until the auction is over. If you want to take away the fruits and snacks here, please feel free to do so.
But be careful not to try to move other decorations here! Otherwise, you may get into some trouble."
After giving some instructions, Avis took Fiona to a compartment on the side of the box.
That is the teleportation room. Through the fixed-point teleportation array there, one can be directly teleported back to the academy's teleportation point based on the spatial coordinates in Pamir's identity card.
Before leaving, Anvis gave the last dragonborn a crystal ball so that he could contact him in the future.
The strength of the elves is currently too low, so Avis gave them another task, allowing the elves to train with his caravan to improve their levels and skill proficiency.
Of course, this is not mandatory. If the last dragonborn has his own plans, he can leave at any time.
As the brother and sister disappeared in the teleporting light, the two players immediately cleared away all the magic fruits on the table.
If it weren't for Avis's reminder, it would be hard to say how much stuff would be left in this box.
In half a year, the natives have already had a preliminary understanding of the existence of players.
How to distinguish whether a house is occupied by a thief or a stranger? It is very simple. If there are still things left in the house, it means a thief has entered.
