Dark Shadow Shrine

Time back to an hour ago.

The City of Gold Auction is located on Zhongyang Avenue in the south of the city. The five-story building complex with tall walls and over 10,000 square meters is almost a city within a city.

The gates in the eight directions are always open day and night. The lights that never go out from inside make the auction more like the mansion of the lord of the city.

The guard's heart skipped a beat when Raven emerged from the shadows. One moment it seemed like nothing had happened, and the next moment it was as if a king had arrived. The stealth of the assassin is in stark contrast to the strong presence created by the high charisma.

But good training and superior eyesight made the two guards stand up straight in an instant. The bright silver armor carved with bright patterns slightly shook Lei Wen's eyes. One of them bowed thirty degrees to Lei Wen,

"Good evening, my lord, what can I do for you?"

"Good evening, I have something very valuable, at least I need your second appraiser to appraise it, I wonder if Lord Amosi or Lord Turulin are free?" Lei Wen, who was dressed in a warlock robe, looked polite.

Regarding Lei Wen's request to find someone by name, the guards were not sure. From common sense, Lei Wen was only dressed as a warlock apprentice, and the things he sold should not require such a high-level appraiser. But when he saw Raven's iconic half-elf pointy ears, he suddenly thought of something...

Of course, in the eyes of others, the doorman didn't hesitate at all: "Oh, please go to the VIP room first." The doorman raised his hand, and suddenly a well-dressed welcome girl came over and welcomed Lei Wen in. On the other side, someone naturally ran in to report.

Before entering the VIP room, Lei Wen's keen ears heard the guard's whispered conversation: "My God, it almost killed me."

"What? That kid has a big background?"

"It's very big? More than...Have you heard of the latest rumored 'Leiwen the Cultist'? No one knows how strong he is, anyway, half of the Black Eclipse Cult died in his hands. Then in the Adventurer's Guild Killed that Alex in public, and the Adventurer's Guild didn't fart."

"Alex? The vice president Alex?"

"Yes, there will be no such person in the future."

"Wow... so scary."

"Of course, I heard that this kid is very likely to be an artificer. The reception was not good just now, maybe the boss will send me to him as a human pig."

"Uh, what is a human pig?"

"Cut off your hands to the elbows, cut off your legs to the knees, put on sharp weapons such as blades, and turn it into a killing machine that is neither human nor ghost. Don't you think it's scary?"

"Wow……"

After hearing this, Raven stopped listening. This is the benefit of popularity. Popularity can be infamous or infamous, but it will definitely not make you unknown.

Wherever I go, as long as I have heard of you, I dare not take you seriously.

The VIP room at the auction naturally upgrades luxury to another realm.

The bright golden tiger skin of the Mythical Tiger King with a challenge level as high as 60 and the gold rank is only used as a cushion for the guests, and the perfect fangs of the Razor Boar King, the peak silver rank, are used as armrests.

Even the cups of the black tea served are made of deep-sea colored glaze from the East China Sea.

If the luxury of the Fortune Church is simply gaudy, then the luxury of the City of Gold Auction is more classy and targeted.

right! Welcome to Quartet Rare Treasures!

Not long after sitting down, after a light knock on the door, a middle-aged man with sword eyebrows who obviously just got up from the bed and hastily washed himself came in. Even in his haste, he was impeccably dressed and generous.

He walked up to Raven with a professional smile on his face.

Before he could speak, Lei Wen went up to meet him first.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, it turned out to be Master Liszt. I really didn't expect to alarm you."

Liszt was also stunned, Lei Wen knew about it, but he didn't expect Lei Wen to know him. However, his good professionalism made him compliment Lei Wen calmly.

"As soon as I heard that His Excellency Lei Wen, the 'Cultivator of the Cult', was coming, I naturally came to receive you as the chief appraiser."

After greeting each other, it's time to get down to business.

Lei Wen took out [Pure White Frost Dance]: "Master Liszt, please look at this seal."

Liszt picked up the dagger, looked at it carefully, put it down for a while, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he said, "How does Mr. Raven want to sell it?"

This is a test, and Liszt wants to know how much Raven understands the value of pure white frost dance.

Raven leaned back comfortably, lying on the comfortable sofa: "The treasure map inside involves the floating island of the ancient Arcane Empire. If you give you enough time to promote it, I estimate that this thing can sell at least 100,000 gold coins .Unfortunately, I can't wait. My only request is that the auction must be held the day after tomorrow, neither early nor late."

Liszt frowned, and had to say that this request was quite inconsistent with the businessman's principles.

"It seems that you, sir, are quite aware of the value of your goods. Then I will say it bluntly, it is quite unwise to do so. I suggest..."

"I insist!" Raven said firmly.

As the chief appraiser of the City of Gold Auction, Liszt has seen a lot of strange customers, and there is no need to disturb a big business for this kind of thing, so he shut up.

Lei Wen suddenly smiled: "I also understand your difficulties, so you can do publicity as much as you want during these three days, and I hope to sell this dagger directly to your auction by buying it out."

Buyout, the most test is of course the appraiser's eyesight.

Taking a deep breath, Liszt crossed his fingers under his chin, pondered for five seconds before answering: "Yes. But our auction house is taking a big risk. After all, the spring fair has just passed, and the richest businessmen have left. The auction price may not meet expectations, so if we buy it out, we can only give a price of 30,000 gold coins at most."

As if afraid of Raven's dislike, Liszt added: "This is the ancient arcane empire's treasure map of floating islands. I have no doubts about this. But do you know that floating islands also have different sizes? The difference between the largest and the smallest value is quite large. It is simply the difference between the value of the gold coins of the gods and the common copper coins of the mainland. Without a full-fledged gambler, it is very likely that a high price cannot be auctioned."

Lei Wen nodded in agreement, and at the same time laughed in his heart: "There is no need to gamble, it is the most trashy No. 1. And it is not a floating island that a cat or a dog can get."

Lei Wen pretended to think about it: "In this case, I ask for a barter. I heard that you have a [Death Strike Wristguard] in your hand."

Liszt's expression is quite exciting, his sword eyebrows seem to have been melted by the way, becoming soft, and the corners of his mouth are full of bitterness: "I almost suspect that you are actually an all-knowing and omnipotent 'Document Scholar'. The second level of our guild You know all the secrets. Well, now I firmly believe that Your Excellency, you must come from a famous artificer family."

Lei Wen didn't say yes, and he didn't say no, anyway, he had an expression of 'you guessed it'.

"Then do you agree with this deal?"

Liszt continued to smile bitterly: "I can only admit it. In fact, after I bought this treasure, the shareholders have always had a lot of opinions on me. After all, your Excellency also knows that this thing is a magic weapon in the hands of those who need it. Human hands are trash." Liszt turned his head, called the maid, and gave some instructions.

After a while, a seemingly ordinary, hazel wristband was brought over by the guards.

Raven picked up the wristband, and a burst of light green data began to flash on the retina:

Item name: [Death Strike Bracers]

Item Type: Odd Item

Crafting Price (Item Level): 5000 Gold (9)

Part: arm

Minimum equipment level: 12

Armor: 8 points

Affiliation: Department of Mild Changes (DC17)

Activation: Swiftness (Awareness)

Weight: 0.9 kg

Effect: Ten times a day, after activation, within 10 seconds you can use melee weapons to cause critical blows and sneak attacks to construct creatures, elemental creatures, slime monsters, plants and undead creatures, just as they can be fatal blows and sneak attacks . This ability has no effect on other protective or immune effects (such as the armor of the life-saving attribute), and there is a small chance to stop the target's action during the attack.

Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, sharp edge

Explanation: This is a boutique crafted by Leo Ferdinand, a master artificer of the extinct Neras Empire. Specially let the guards deal with out-of-control golems or organ people.

Raven was satisfied. Although an artificer above level 15 can make it, for his own plan, this must be obtained in the short term. Not to mention that the cost is only 5000 gold coins. Even if Liszt asks for 100,000, Lei Wen must buy it if he has the money.

Suddenly, where can Lei Wen find an artificer above level 15? Warlocks are rare enough, and artificers are even more national treasures.

What's more, this thing is an orphan product produced by the master, which is much better than ordinary goods. Lei Wen remembered that the normal [Death Strike Wristguards] could only be used up to three times.

According to the dead thief, there are definitely more than three Shadowsteel Golems in the Shadow Orb!

In the end, Lei Wen also consigned the [Black Erosion Dragon Tooth]. For Lei Wen, this dagger's attack was too low, and its toxicity was not strong enough, so it had to be eliminated.

Lei Wen also attached a condition, he hoped that Liszt would notify the master of the thief within three days.

To be able to sit in this position, Liszt is definitely not a fool, of course he knows that he has been used.

These days, the auctioneers are actually merchants of death. The fear has never been trouble, but that the goods are not good enough.

There is a dazzling new star in the limelight on one side, and an old thief in his twilight years on the other. There is no need to compare who is more valuable.

Liszt readily agreed.

After coming out of the auction house, the sky was already a little bright.

Raven looked at the Red Knight's strategy board, and a sneer curled up from the corner of his mouth: "Ellison... I've cast the bait, you don't have to eat it if you have the ability."

ps, there should be another chapter before 12 o'clock, but the possibility of delay is not ruled out, so don't wait. By the way, please ask for a recommendation ticket.
