Chapter 521: Auction
Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Auction
“This grand underground auction is sponsored by the Hell Knight Corps and the Terminal Knight Regiment, please be sure to follow the basic rules of the auction.”
Han Dong arrived at the entrance of the venue, pulling Mia along.
The person in charge of checking the entrance qualifications was a formidable formal knight, with the mark of a ‘Hooded Skull’ imprinted on the back of his hand.
His chilling and cold eyes stared straight at Han Dong, as if he could directly perceive his character, ensuring that he wouldn’t cause trouble during the auction.
After verifying the amount of money carried was not an issue, Han Dong led Mia into the venue.
Who would have anticipated that the knight’s voice would appear directly in Han Dong’s mind.
“Captain Alex seems to want to meet you. When the auction is over, please come to the territory of our Terminal Knight Regiment. Someone will meet you there.”
“Okay.”
Han Dong felt somewhat embarrassed.
In the major incident of a traitor half a year ago, the Death God Brigade Captain had indeed told Han Dong to visit the Terminal Knight Regiment afterwards.
However, Han Dong, considering Mr. Black White, had not met with any of the captains.
Half a year has passed, and this Death God still holds him in regard.
“Anyway, Mr. Black White does not insist that I stay with the Plague Knights. After the auction is over, I’ll go directly to visit the two captains located in the underground area.
I hope that Captain Marlon won’t blame me… I haven’t visited him for half a year.”
Han Dong felt a little guilty in his heart. After all, Marlon was the one who had saved his life, and he had also looked after him in Hell.
These worldly affairs are what Han Dong is least good at, just like when he was a teacher in his former life.
…
Despite only an hour.
The auction was fully packed.
Formal Knights in charge of maintaining order at the venue. Any participant who dared to challenge the rules of the auction would be expelled and restricted from entering the market area.
Those with more serious offenses could be imprisoned directly by the knight regiment.
“Wow! Most of the people who arrived are formal knights!”
Mia’s Spider Sense was quite acute, at least 70% of the participants were formal knights.
“The opening of the Dark Side to the outside world,
Is seen as a new channel to acquire powerful equipment and props, naturally attracting a swarm of knights.
They can use the money they earn from daily missions and external investigations to exchange for equipment that enhances their own strength and survival rate, a trade that most knights would be willing to make.
Moreover, many knights are not as lucky as we are to acquire a main weapon compatible with themselves before graduation.”
“Hehe!”
Mentally discussing weapons, Mia couldn’t help but touch the Demon Sword hidden between her cloak.
Since getting this Demon Sword, which perfectly fits her properties, Mia has begun to devote a great part of her energy to studying swordsmanship.
Being acknowledged by the Witch for her sword skills, making connections helped get her special training in swordsmanship from the Cross Crusader recommended by the Witch.
After all, the relationship between the Witch and Mr. Black White wasn’t so good. In a situation where she couldn’t compete with Black White, she could only compete through her students.
The level Mia could reach currently is a mystery. Only in the upcoming Knight Grand Selection, will Mia fully showcase her strength.
The venue is closed.
The auction officially begins.
Accompanied by a burst of white mist gushing out from the ground, a mysterious auctioneer appears in the mist.
The mark of a hooded skull is still imprinted on the back of his hand, he is still a member of the Terminal Knight Regiment, and his rank seems to be quite high.
“I, Sagarancy, will be hosting this auction. I hope all the knights who have come from the surface will do me a favor by strictly adhering to the basic rules of the auction.”
Mia immediately showed a look of astonishment and exclaimed in as low a voice as possible:
“The Undertaker – Sagarancy! The Terminal Knight Regiment, Third Platoon Leader!”
“Third Platoon Leader…”
Han Dong is not quite clear about the internal rank structure of the Knight Regiment.
However, considering the previous situation in the Behemoth Knight Group, it seems that the Platoon Leader is a high-ranking person, second only to the Vice Captain.
“This auction is co-sponsored by my Terminal Knight Regiment and the Hell Knight Corps next door. The goal is to share the resources of the underground area with everyone, providing the knights on the surface with more opportunities to obtain materials, props, and equipment.
Of course, the items we offer for auction are those that the Knight Regiment has risked their lives for, so don’t be stingy with your copper coins.
If you can buy an item from the auction, it will definitely be a bargain.
Okay! There will be a total of ten items on display at this auction. Just like the outside publicity, the final blockbuster item will be a complete ‘Epic’ fate equipment, belonging to a knight who was executed due to a deep infection while investigating outside the city.
The other auction items are a bit inferior, but they are special treasures that cannot be bought on the surface.
Now, let’s take a look at the first auction item.”
A jade pendant appears in the old man’s hands.
“‘Clear Heart Jade’, unique purple, jewelry class prop, undamaged…I believe the knights present can feel a sense of tranquility, I will not go into the details.
The starting price is 3,000 copper coins, and each price increase must be at least 500.”
Han Dong stared at the jade pendant, guessing that its main function should be soul protection and consciousness stabilization…for Han Dong, who owns the laughter attribute and the Faceless Skull, it basically has no use.
However, such a prop was finally auctioned for 8,000 copper coins and was taken by a knight who mainly cultivated the body and had weak mental defense.
Looking at his smiling face, it seems that the 8,000 was worth it. He bought the heart protection equipment he always wanted…his survival rate has greatly increased.
With the display of one high-quality prop after another.
All of them were materials or finished equipment, and there weren’t any ‘body parts’ that Han Dong wanted.
Participating in the auction could only be considered as an eye-opener.
In the end, the epic equipment that served as the highlight was quite a shock to Han Dong, and most of the knights in the venue were stunned for a while when the epic equipment was displayed.
After all, epic-level finished equipment is rarely seen and has powerful abilities.
‘Evil Fruit’
A black bracer sealed in a transparent coffin, strange ghostly skulls looming in the coffin… the most terrifying thing is that the bracer is filled with rotten flesh.
It seems that once this bracer is put on, it cannot be taken off, even in death.
Only when the bracer finds its next owner does it fall off the former owner’s wrist.
Before the auctioneer could say much more, someone on the spot directly offered a high price of 80,000 copper coins, suppressing everyone and taking the bracer away, leaving the knights present dumbfounded.
With that, the auction ended.
Just as the attending knights were leaving with baffled expressions, auctioneer Sagarancy also showed a strange smile, his eyes fixed straight on Han Dong, gesturing for him to stay behind.
After the place was cleared, the auctioneer murmured:
“How interesting… An Apprentice Knight, upon receiving an invitation from the captain, doesn’t respond at all for half a year, befitting of a core person of the ‘Big Traitor Incident’.
I wonder if you have time now?
If you do, please accompany me to the inside of the Knight Regiment, even if you bring your little girlfriend, it’s not an issue.”
“Alright… Please lead the way, Chief Sagarancy.”
