Lan Xue of Douluo continent

Seeing the two people walking straight towards them, one of the four girls took three steps forward to meet them, bowed slightly and said: "You two, do you need any help?"

Lan Xue said: "We want to go in and have a look."

The girl was a little stunned. Although she did not look down on Tang San and Lan Xue because of their age, this was the first time she saw guests like them. But she still said patiently: "I'm sorry, two guests, can you

No. May I ask, do you have the bidding qualification certification?"

Lan Xue was stunned, "Auction qualification certification? What is that?"

The girl smiled slightly and said: "Only guests with bidding qualification certification can enter the auction house to bid. The qualification certification is divided into several different levels, and the entry threshold is 10,000 gold soul coins. In other words, 10,000 gold soul coins are required.

Only the asset certificate of the Golden Soul Coin can participate in the auction. This is necessary to avoid malicious bidding, so please forgive me."

Lan Xue thought for a while: "If I sell something, can I go in?"

The girl nodded: "If you are selling something, you can also enter the auction house. However, the items sold need to be appraised by our special appraisers at the Tiandou Auction House and are worth more than one thousand gold soul coins before they are eligible to participate in the auction. If

If the auction is successful, we will take 10% of the transaction price as a handling fee."

Tang San understood Lan Xue's intention and his heart moved. He reached into his arms and took out something.

It was a small black box, about the size of a palm, with buckles and locks on it. The box was completely black, with a layer of fine holes on it.

"Then let's auction this." Tang San shook the small box in his hand.

"What is this?" The girl did not look down upon the thing that Tang San took out. She had also worked here for a while, and she knew that the more bizarre things are, the more valuable they are sometimes.

Lan Xue pretended to be mysterious and said: "Don't you have an appraiser? It doesn't count even if you say so. Just give it to the appraiser to see if it's worth anything."

Only then did the girl realize that she had overstepped her bounds, and quickly made a gesture of invitation, "You two, please come with me." As she spoke, she took small steps towards the auction house.

Walking into the auction house, there is no feeling of splendor. The ground is made of milky white marble, and the surrounding walls are decorated with various reliefs. There are not many colors on the reliefs. It looks simple, lively and extremely elegant. In addition to the reliefs, there are also some wall-mounted construction sites.

The display window contains some porcelain, armor and other displays. If not

They knew what was going on here, and I'm afraid Tang San and Lan Xue would think this was a museum. The girl leading the way was very professional. She would stop every ten steps or so, make a "please" gesture, and guide the direction accurately. All the while.

Bring Tang San and Lan Xue to a room next to the hall with a sign with the word "appraisal" hanging on it.

There is a row of desks in the room. Behind the desks are eight appraisers of various ages, wearing black robes, who are busy appraising some items.

The girl said to Tang San and Lan Xue: "This is the general item appraisal room. I would also like to trouble you two to explain the characteristics of your items." As she said this, she led the two of them to the appraiser on the far left and put the

The small box was handed over.

"Appraiser No. 1, please excuse me. These two distinguished guests hope to participate in the auction of this object."

The appraiser subconsciously took the iron box, his eyes fell on it, and he immediately showed surprise. He turned it over and looked at it, and said: "Forgive me for my poor eyesight, what is this? It is very exquisitely made. I don't know what it is used for."

?”

Tang San smiled slightly and said: "I call it innuendo, it's a kind of weapon."

"Weapon?" The appraiser was even more surprised. This was the first time he saw such a small weapon. When he saw that Tang San and Lan Xue were just two teenagers, he had been a little contemptuous, but now he couldn't help but put away his contempt.

"Can you demonstrate it?"

"Here?" Tang San took back the insinuation from the appraiser, "This thing of mine is poisonous. I'm afraid it won't be good here."

Hearing the word "poisonous", not only the appraiser in front of them was paying attention, but the other seven appraisers next to them couldn't help but cast their eyes over, showing expressions of surprise.

The No. 1 appraiser said with some embarrassment: "If you can't prove its function, we can't put a price on it. Our auction house has a special place for testing the power of weapons. What do you think about us going there?"

Tang San nodded and said: "Okay."

The girl who was in charge of the reception did not leave. She was still following beside them. Together with appraiser No. 1, she led Tang San and Lan Xue into a door behind the appraisal room.

I don’t know if the owner of this auction house likes circles very much. All the doors in the auction house are semicircular, which seems to have a sense of unity.

Tang San signaled the reception girl and the appraiser to retreat behind him, raised his right hand to insinuate, and lightly hooked his fingers on the mechanism.

Chichichichichichichi----, a series of low whistles accompanied by a faint yellow mist drifted out. This poisonous mist was added not long ago by Tang San. It was insinuated that after his improvement, it was the same as the Zhuge Divine Crossbow.

It can be fired three times. However, its power is slightly weaker than that of the Zhuge Shen Crossbow. But it can still fire thirty-six steel needles each time.

A series of dense tinkling sounds sounded on the wall ten meters away. Tang San stretched out his hand, activated his soul power, and used the Crane Controlling and Dragon Capturing Skill to condense the yellow mist in the air, and shot out a piece of blue silver grass from the tip of his finger.

Adsorb the poisonous mist onto it.

Pointing to the opposite wall, he said: "Please take a look."

The appraiser stepped forward quickly. When he saw the situation on the steel wall, he couldn't help but take a breath, "What a domineering weapon."

The steel needle, which is about three inches long, is fully immersed in half of the steel plate. The tail of the needle is still vibrating violently. From the blue color of the steel needle, you can see the poison contained in it. This does not include the launch time.

The yellow mist sprayed out has such penetrating power that it is no longer something ordinary soul masters can withstand.

Tang San said: "My innuendo can be fired three times after filling the steel needle. Each time it is accompanied by a drug-like poisonous mist, and the needle itself contains paralyzing toxins. Once it pierces the skin, the paralyzing poison will take effect. According to my calculations. Yes.

Soul masters below level 30 can achieve absolute killing. Soul masters above level 30 who have no resistance to poison can also be easily attacked. Steel needles are easy to make and can be reused. I can also provide a bottle of paralyzing venom.

"

Tang San also walked to the steel plate, raised his right hand, and unhesitatingly took off the steel needles on the steel plate one by one, and pressed them back into the innuendo. The toxins on the steel needles had no effect on him at all.

Seeing Tang San put away all thirty-six steel needles that were shot out, the appraiser finally came back to his senses.

"Dear guest, although the material of your weapon is ordinary, its sophistication is the only one I have ever seen in my life. Maybe it is not very useful for a soul master, but for ordinary people, it is an excellent weapon.

I’m going to give it a starting price of one thousand gold soul coins, what do you think?”

The cost of Tang San's insinuation was only twenty gold soul coins. Of course, that was only the material cost. This production process was only accomplished by him in the entire Douluo Continent.

Smiling and nodding, Tang San handed the insinuation to the appraiser, "No problem. Then let it participate in the auction. Now we have the right to participate in the auction here."

The girl in charge of the reception said hurriedly: "Of course. Our auctions are held 24 hours a day. They are all held in the auction center. Please come with me. Your lots will be at the auction soon.

Show up, I'll take you two to go through the formalities first."

The procedure is not complicated, just set up an account associated with the Gold Soul Coin stored value card at the auction house.

Through this account, Tang San can not only obtain the corresponding income after deducting handling fees after the item is auctioned, but also can bid, provided that the amount in the account cannot be exceeded when bidding.

At the same time, the reception girl also briefly told the two of them the rules here.

As the largest auction house in the entire Tiandou Empire, any item may appear here.

The first rule of the auction venue is not to inquire about the details of the seller, let alone disclose the status of the items in the auction venue to the outside world.

Round-the-clock bidding, no rest time.

Every night is the time of the best auction. During those two hours, only buyers with a deposit of more than one million gold soul coins can participate. During other times, any bidder can participate.

"Please take us to the auction house." Lan Xue hates following rules, not to mention that rules are nothing to her. In other words, strength is the rule.

Under the leadership of the girl, Tang San and Lan Xue finally got what they wanted and entered the real core of the Tiandou Auction House.

The auction center is located on the second floor of the auction house. There are eight stairs to log in from the lobby. Before entering the auction house, the reception girl gave each of them a mask and told them that they would need to wear masks before entering the auction in the future.

This is for the safety of customers. Next time, no one will accept them.

The girl took the two of them to the entrance of the auction center before turning around and leaving. There was another attendant in the auction center.

Lan Xue felt that Tang San was looking at the exposed waitress again, so she pinched Tang San's lower back hard: "What are you looking at? Be careful of your lower body."

Tang San was in pain and broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly whispered: "You think I'm a fat man! Go in."

"snort!"

The auction center feels more like a large auditorium. The layout is similar to the main fighting center of the big fighting arena. There is a circular podium in the center, with a circle of seats arranged in a radioactive ring around it.

It is divided into five parts. The three rows of seats closest to the podium are red and radiate outward, followed by black, purple, yellow and white. They are obviously set up according to different levels of bidders.

The previous reception girl told them that the innermost red seats are entered through a special passage and are protected by special security personnel. There is the so-called million-level VIP area, and only people with status can obtain the red VIP area.

qualifications.

There is a circle of black seats outside. It is an ordinary million-level VIP area. Anyone with money can enter.

A second-level black VIP.

Further outward, the purple ones are for the 500,000-level purple VIPs, the yellow ones are for the 100,000-level ordinary VIPs, and the outermost white ones are also the largest seats, which are the most ordinary VIPs like Tang San and Lan Xue.

The waiter brought the two people to the white area and indicated that they could choose freely. I don't know if it was because Tang San and Lan Xue looked too young, or because their VIP qualifications were too low.

The waiter was not enthusiastic, he just led them to their seats in a very professional manner, and he didn't even have the professional smile that he had when he greeted the girl before.

Tang San didn't care, but Lan Xue was a little dissatisfied, "Huh, it's embarrassing to dress like this even though you have material in front." As she said that, she lowered her head to look at the hot spot on her chest, and her face couldn't help but blush.

"All the waiters here are like this, and it's not against you." A gentle voice came from the side. When Tang San and Lan Xue turned to look, they saw a middle-aged man in white clothes with an elegant appearance smiling at them.

Nodding.

The strange thing is that he didn't wear a mask and no service staff came to ask him.

Lan Xue couldn't help but ask: "Is this the case? Why?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "These waiters themselves all belong to the auction house. Including their lives. They are all civilian women who were bought by the auction house at a very young age and have been trained since childhood. They are not only the service staff here, but also

They are also part of the auction. If someone is willing to pay, they can be bought and sold."

"Wouldn't that mean he became a slave? But, didn't the two empires prohibit the slave trade?" Tang San said with some surprise.

The middle-aged man smiled calmly and said: "There are a lot of helplessness in this world. This is the Tiandou Auction House. Let alone slaves, there is nothing that we dare not sell here. The reason why those girls have dull expressions is because

They have long since lost their own hearts, let alone their own destiny. All they can do is obey. Although they are beautiful in appearance, they have no souls of their own. What I give them is only the word "pathetic"

.”

After listening to the middle-aged man's words, the expression on Lan Xue's face gradually changed. If she was disgusted with those beautiful waiters in scantily clad clothes before, now her heart is full of sympathy. Unfortunately, they no longer have them.

own thoughts.

Looking at the middle-aged man again, he seems to have a special temperament, which makes it easy for people to feel cordial from the heart. Wait, since he appears here, then he is... Lan Xue's eyes were full of surprise.

The middle-aged man seemed to be very interested in Tang San and Lan Xue, so he changed the topic and asked: "You came to the auction house at such a young age. Do you want to buy something?"

Lan Xue said: "We are not here to buy things, we are here to sell them."

"Oh?" The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You are selling things. I can't tell you. You are already auctioning things at a young age."

Lan Xue said: "Who stipulates that young people cannot participate in the auction? Hey, how do you know that we are young? Do you have clairvoyance?" Everyone is wearing a mask. Although Lan Xue and Tang San have the same figure as adults

It's still a little worse than that, but it's not too bad, not to mention that Lan Xue's enthusiasm was noticed when she just left school.

The middle-aged man praised: "Good, you are ambitious. No wonder you can have such strength at a young age. Although you are wearing a mask, your childishness, eyes and tone cannot hide your age. Anyone with a discerning eye can naturally see it.

.”

So that’s it. Lan Xue nodded.

At this time, the soul guidance device on the ceremony table had been successfully traded for 43,000 gold soul coins.

The host on the podium held a loudspeaker and said to the bidders with a smile: "What we are going to auction next is a rare treasure. Please pay attention to those who are interested, especially the male VIPs."

As he spoke, he motioned to the audience, and three strong men pushed a cart up. The cart was covered with red cloth, and the contents inside could not be seen, but from the appearance, it looked like a square.

Big box.

Lan Xue smiled slightly, is Catwoman going to be lifted up?

The eyes of Tang San, Lan Xue, and even the middle-aged man were attracted by this new auction item, and they stopped talking.

The host said somewhat mysteriously: "Can you guess what this is? Let me first reveal the low price to all distinguished guests. The starting price of this auction is 100,000 gold soul coins. Each increase in price must not be less than 10,000.

Golden Soul Coin. This is the best of the best."

As the host of the auction house, stimulating the atmosphere and the enthusiasm of the bidders is obviously a required course, and he successfully attracted the attention of the bidders.

"Now, all distinguished guests, please take a closer look." As he said this, he grabbed the red cloth and pulled it off fiercely.

After the red light flashed, what was revealed was not a box, but a huge iron cage. Inside the iron cage, a girl was curled up.

Most of the girl's body was naked, with only key parts covered by shells. Because she was curled up, her appearance was unclear, but her figure was almost perfect.

Her fair skin is like crystal jade, and her light green short hair is unique and charming.

"Perhaps the distinguished guests are wondering why such a girl can actually have such a high reserve price, the same price as the beauties we have trained for many years in our auction house. But if you look carefully, you will find that she is special." As he said,

The host took out a stick from somewhere, reached into the iron cage, and gently lifted the short light green hair beside the girl's ears, exposing her ears.

Those were not human ears, but rather pointed little ears similar to those of cats. Under the light touch of the stick, the ears turned slightly red.

"Yes, the distinguished guests did not read it wrong. This is a rare catwoman. When her martial spirit awakened, her body mutated and she took on some cat forms. Her eyes were one blue and one green, and she had a unique look.

It's charming and even has a long tail." He hit the girl's buttocks with a stick. The girl twisted in pain, revealing a white cat tail that had been hidden behind her.

"It can be said that she is unique on the mainland. How happy it is to have such a beautiful cat as a pet. Just imagine what it would be like if you grabbed her tail with one hand while doing things.

Woolen cloth?"

As he spoke, the host showed an ambiguous expression on his face, and drew an arc in the air with the stick in his hand, "Dear distinguished guests, you may bid."

"These bastards are selling people as pets." Lan Xue couldn't help but jump up.

Tang San grabbed Lan Xue and signaled her to calm down, but his heart was filled with turbulence. It was not like he had never seen the dark side of this world, but this was the first time for him to have such direct contact in this auction house.

, it seems that all things like human nature have ceased to exist. There are only interests and desires similar to beasts.

A faint light flickered, and there was a cold aura in Tang San's eyes. He sat back on the chair and watched quietly. He was a smart man, so he naturally understood that what happened in front of him was not something he and Lan Xue could change. Even if they

Is it really possible to save this Catwoman? There may be other Leopard Girls and Tiger Girls in the future. Can they always come in time? The teacher said that the auction house is a place full of opportunities and filth. It seems really

Di was right.

Lan Xue's hand was held by Tang San, so she didn't explode. She found that Tang San held her hand very tightly, and it was obvious that his heart was not calm either. Looking at Tang San, whose eyes were filled with light,

She gradually calmed down, but lowered her head and no longer looked towards the stage.

The middle-aged man's eyes were always on the ceremony platform, and he suddenly said: "It is no longer interesting to save the soul after it has been lost. There is still a soul, and it is caused by the mutation of the martial soul. How can we not save it if we encounter it?"

"There is no need to doubt. Young man, eyes are the windows to the soul, and the look in your eyes is enough to tell me a lot. After all, I have been eating for more years than you. This should be regarded as social experience." The middle-aged man smiled at Tang San.

Laughing, hand pressed the increase button again.

Lan Xue looked at Tang San and the middle-aged man in confusion.

At this time, the bidding price has increased to 160,000 gold soul coins, and it seems that it is still increasing.

The host said: "One hundred and seventy thousand. A red VIP bid has reached one hundred and seventy thousand gold soul coins. Is there anyone who wants to bid more?"

"One hundred and eighty thousand. Okay. There is a white one, ah. The white VIP bids for one hundred and eighty thousand." He has exclaimed more than once. White represents the lowest bidder, but since the beginning of this auction, there have always been

A white bidder participated in the auction, and what's even more strange is that his account never showed signs of overdraft. This shows that the other party has the ability to bid.

"I want to see who dares to rob me." An old man sitting in the red area at the front suddenly stood up and swept towards the white area behind. Although there was a mask on his face, when this

As soon as the man stood up, Tang San immediately recognized his identity.

The middle-aged people are right when they say that people's eyes are the windows to the soul. Everyone's eyes are different, and the gap between their eyes is even wider. The person who appeared in the red VIP area and glared at the back was the person who was in the Tiandou Royal Palace.

Prince Snow Star of the Tiandou Empire who drove them out of the academy.

To what Tang San and Lan Xue expected, the unmasked middle-aged man beside them not only did not dodge his gaze, but slowly stood up and nodded towards Prince Snow Star with a smile.

There were by no means a few people who looked back with Prince Snow Star. Seeing the middle-aged man standing up, not only Snow Star's face was stunned, the bastard's anger disappeared, but at the same time, there was also an exclamation around him. Even

The face of the host on the stage also became a little stiff.

"The auction house has the rules of the auction house, can we continue?" The middle-aged man's voice was not loud, gentle and elegant, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Because Tang San was sitting next to him, he could clearly feel the fluctuations in this man's soul power. For some reason, he felt very kind to this non-threatening, extremely gentle soul power, as if he had once

It looked like I had seen it somewhere. "Yes, of course." The host agreed with a flattering look on his face.

Suddenly, Lan Xue lightly pressed the button and added it to 190,000.

"Xiaoxue, what are you doing?" Tang San asked in surprise. Even the middle-aged man looked at Lan Xue in surprise. Lan Xue was not in a hurry to answer, but just smiled mysteriously.

"The second time of 190,000 gold soul coins, the third time of 190,000 gold soul coins. The deal is done. This Catwoman belongs to a magical VIP in the white VIP area." After the middle-aged man stood up, there was no more

People raised their bids, and this auction was a success.

At this time, the huge iron cage was pushed down, and soon an old man hurried onto the stage and whispered something to the host. The host nodded repeatedly.

The middle-aged man smiled calmly and said to himself: "These guys are trying to fool me with low-priced products again. It's the same every time I come here. Why bother? It's not like I won't pay."

Tang San said seriously: "I'm afraid they are afraid that you will ruin the good thing. After you raise the price, no one will dare to raise the price. As long as you are here, their good things can't be sold at a good price. For the auction house,

It’s naturally a loss.”

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and leaned back comfortably on the chair, "Then it's time for me to go."

The middle-aged man said: "Then let's just look at the last lot and leave directly. Wouldn't it be that their arrangements were in vain?"

Soon, another auction item was pushed up. This time it was just a small cart. The items on the cart were not covered with red cloth. Seeing this item, Tang San couldn't help but dumbfounded. Lan Xue

But he couldn't help but said: "Brother, isn't this our insinuation?"

That's right, the one who was pushed to the podium was the hidden weapon that Tang San had just gone to appraise not long ago, and was marked with the lowest reserve price in the auction house. Of course, this so-called lowest reserve price was already quite a lot for ordinary people.

Numbers.

"Innuendo? What a good name." The middle-aged man smiled at Tang San. Tang San wanted to see something in his eyes, but all he saw was a deep gaze.

On the stage, the host was making an introduction, "The following auction item is praised by the auctioneer as the most exquisite weapon. Distinguished guests, don't look at its small size, but its power is amazing."

As he spoke, the host picked up the innuendo from the tray and said, "Our appraiser doesn't know how this weapon is made, but once used, it can instantly fire thirty-six steel needles.

The needle can penetrate within a range of fifteen meters

A one centimeter thick steel plate, quenched with paralyzing toxins. When the steel needle is fired, it will be covered by a cloud of mist. It is a rare protective weapon. It can be fired three times in total. If used properly, it will be very effective in combat.

It is easy for the opponent to lose the ability to resist."

"Hey." The expressions of the middle-aged people beside Tang San changed, "These guys really chose something I like. Little brother, this weapon originally belonged to you?"
