Chapter Seventy-Three: The Auction Begins

  Karo lightly put on his outerwear, raised his hand, and a blue card appeared in his hand. This card was not simple, the Yu City auction was so grand, of course, everything had to be well prepared. Naturally, it was impossible to let others enter the auction hall casually.

  To get in, there are only a few ways. First, hold a high-level certificate issued by the country. However, Yu City and the Adventurer's Guild have also made it clear that the auction venue can accommodate at most around 3,000 people. The certificates issued by the country are limited, with each country having no more than 500 people.

  The second method is a certificate that can only be issued by candidates confirmed by the Adventurer's Guild. This method is mainly used as a symbol of honor for those who have been certified, so in order to guarantee this reputation, people are also very cautious when issuing certificates. Generally speaking, there are 100 candidates each time, and each candidate can issue certificates for 10 people.

  The last one is to maintain the remaining 500 quotas, and this right is in the hands of the Adventurer's Guild, Yu City's Half-Dragon People, and Dragon Clan. If they issue a certificate, it will be even more cautious.

  What Galo got was the last one, a voucher given by Mr. Tudor to repay Galo's kindness, but unfortunately it was too late, and Galo couldn't book the luxurious suite upstairs, but that didn't matter to her.

  "Shana, you and Shula don't go running around randomly, got it? The auction is about to start, and there will definitely be many powerful people coming to Yu City. Be extremely careful not to stir up trouble." Galo started worrying because the Iron-faced Blood God would appear here, and he couldn't guarantee that his enemy, the Golden Body Sect of the Arrogant World's Golden God, wouldn't come.

  "Okay, I know, but sister, can't you really take me with you? I want to see it too." Shana looked very unhappy.

  Shula practiced her sword swings on one side. "Don't think about it, the Yu City auction is one of the highest-level gatherings in the world, and ordinary people can't get in. Miss Gallo's card can only bring one person in, which is already very good. You know how many people want to go every year but can't?"

  "Alright, I'll go first. After all, I have the things I need most." Gallo smiled, if it weren't for the fact that the card had already confirmed with him that it couldn't be transferred to others, he really wanted to take a photo of the Qing Lan stone and exchange it with them to see.

  Arriving at the entrance of the Adventurer's Paradise, which has been completely sealed off since yesterday afternoon, row after row of soldiers stood guard like a copper wall and iron fortress. In addition to the teams dispatched by the Adventurer's Guild, there were nearly a thousand masters. On one hand, the number of items up for auction this time can be said to be the highest in decades. On the other hand, the people who came to participate this time are also very exaggerated. The three princes of the great nations, not to mention the lord of the Chaotic City, Mahaya, and one of the five strongmen, the Iron-faced Blood God - any one of them is a shocking figure.

  However, there shouldn't be any problem, Tuokent raised his head to look at the sky above, a huge cyan figure was hovering in the air, and on the platform of Adventurer's Paradise, two figures, one white and one red, were lying down.

  Although it's unclear why, the Dragon Clan seems to be taking this auction very seriously and has even sent three members, including the genius dragon of the Wind Tribe, Yidan, who is said to be the most likely candidate to succeed the Wind Dragon Elder as a powerful expert.

  At this time, a figure walked over. Tukent looked and smiled: "Miss Gallo, you're also here? Welcome, please come in."

  "Thank you, Master Sansheng." Jia Luo slightly nodded and was about to enter when she suddenly furrowed her brow in surprise, for she saw many familiar faces.

  Prince Kahn, the lord of Mahaya City, Princess Dina, couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt and worry in her heart as she didn't expect so many people to come to this auction.

  When Gallo walked in the door, a pair of questioning eyes slowly moved away from her body. In mid-air, Yidan was puzzled and muttered to himself, "Strange, is it my illusion? The feeling of that little guy seems very familiar."

  The first time he walked into the final auction hall, Gallo was deeply shocked. The decoration of the venue was not luxurious, but the golden red decorations brought out a huge sense of existence, and did not have any noble atmosphere, but rather gave people a kind of reverence from deep within their hearts.

  Take a deep breath, calm down, and locate the location on the first floor. The entire venue is actually only two floors high. The upper layer is the VIP seat, divided into small rooms, with about 800 people. Downstairs, there are about 2,000 people, with countless tables and chairs arranged in each area. On the table, apart from drinks and fruits, there is also a nameplate, which is her number plate. In front of it, there is a slightly raised platform, with an auctioneer's position in the middle.

  At this time, Garo suddenly saw another acquaintance, the Iron-Faced Blood God. He was standing in a VIP room on the second floor and noticed Garo after a slight smile. He pointed to the iron mask on his face, implying that he and Garo were both wearing masks.

  Jia Luo arrived quite late, so when she got there, there wasn't much time left. The auction hall suddenly darkened, and she knew the auction was about to begin.

  A figure stood in front of the auctioneer's desk, it was Tulare, and he looked like he had fully recovered.

  With a sweep of his eyes over the crowd below, a subtle pressure enveloped everyone's heart, and all were secretly shocked. Who would have thought that this slender youth was also a formidable opponent? It seems that the Half-Dragon Clan cannot be underestimated after all.

  Tural just wanted to give everyone a warning, hoping that everyone could participate in the auction normally, so he used his innate dragon might. Fortunately, the dragon might of the half-dragon people had faded a lot and was dispersed throughout the venue. If it were Idan who took action, I estimate that about half of the people here would fall down.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this year's Youcheng auction. This time, the total number of items for sale is 1,277. The announcement of this number caused a stir in the crowd, although it was already known in advance, but hearing it all at once still came as a shock, especially considering that last year there were only over 500 items."

  "I can assure everyone that this time's items are also of high quality, and there is no possibility of any difference in quality. I believe it will allow everyone to leave with satisfaction. As for the last five unannounced items, they will be auctioned off at the end. Alright, now the auction officially begins, please welcome the first item."

  A maid brought a covered object onto the stage, and Tural pulled back the cover to reveal a broken scepter. "This scepter was used by the great Emperor Gubol when he ascended to the throne, it was the grand scepter of the sun that was used at his coronation. After the ancient empire was attacked, this grand scepter of the sun was damaged and discarded, but fortunately, it has been recovered and verified as authentic. Now, the starting price for this broken grand scepter of the sun is 10,200 gold coins, with a bidding increment of 100 gold coins. The auction begins."

  Karlo knew that at the beginning of the auction, the initial items were some historical or very decorative items for businessmen who wanted to expand their home environment. However, things are also high-quality and sometimes still welcome.

  The auction was proceeding slowly, and Gallo also felt the atmosphere here, which was very good. He flipped through the book he borrowed from the library, and Gallo wasn't in a hurry at all.

  "The next auction item is No. 115, a mineral, aquamarine, with a total weight of 47.3 pounds and approximately 45 pieces in various sizes, but not processed, still maintaining its original high-quality material. Now, let's take a look. The starting price is 3000 gold coins, and the bidding increment is 500 gold each time."

  What! Garo suddenly sat up, and there were even high-grade mineral materials for sale! He didn't pay close attention at the time, although his goal was Windstone, but having more of other materials would be better too. However, with this, he wondered if he had enough money.

  But let's take a look, I have about 110,000 on me, if the price is low, it's still acceptable, gritting my teeth, I raised my sign "5,000 gold."

  The iron-faced blood god looked puzzled and glanced down below, wondering if she was interested in this?

  Finally, Galo acquired the aquamarine for $7,600. Now she was worried - if this kept up, how would her money possibly be enough? First it was the aquamarine, what's next? If something else appeared, should she buy it or not?

  "Money, all the troubles are about money, but now it seems that's not enough either. Damn, what to do?" Gallo gritted her teeth, and suddenly, she thought of a way out.

  Take out the red gemstone from the beginning, Garo now seems to have no choice but to go borrow from someone, and the only relatively suitable object is Tie Mian Xue Shen.
