Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

After Gawain finished speaking, he had a gentle smile on his face and looked at the guests who were whispering in the audience.

"Spiritual Spring", that is a "divine object", a treasure that has traces of the pillar gods or the "gods" who once hoped to become pillar gods, and it is a rare treasure left by the gods when they were still walking in the world during the Age of Gods.

Generally speaking, for the ancient relics of "divine objects", they can usually only be found from equally ancient relics or from "ancient seals" of high status.

In the extraordinary world, countless people flock to these "divine objects" because they all have the same characteristic - the true divinity they retain gives them the ability similar to "laws", which is independent of the fate and ability of the extraordinary people themselves.

When Lord Gawain mentioned the term "divine object 'spiritual spring'", most of the extraordinary people in the audience were deeply shocked and eager!

- That is a "divine object"! Under the public authentication of the Black Sword Mansion, the real "divine object" is genuine and worth the price!

Lord Gawain is actually going to auction a divine object, which makes many people's hearts start to stir.

The most shocked among them is the young extraordinary person sitting in the left seat who just bid for the broken divine heart of "False Vigaro" for 13,000 gold coins.

...

The expression on Luo Xiu's face became a little complicated.

When he heard Gawain say the "divine object" spiritual spring, his heart suddenly pumped.

Luo Xiu is not unfamiliar with the concept of "divine objects", and is even quite familiar with it.

Because he has one in his hand. "Divine object 'Double-faced Doll'", that is also a treasure with traces of gods. The power close to "law" it possesses is the function of "rewashing points".

As for the "spiritual spring" mentioned by Gawain, Luo Xiu understood its real function as soon as he heard it.

"...Fuck,"

"I didn't expect that the 'experience pool' would appear here!"

Luo Xiu thought to himself, his pupils trembled slightly, and when there was no one in front of him, he no longer concealed his strong shock.

"Godly object" Spiritual Spring, Luo Xiu was also quite familiar with it.

In the previous life, the "Spiritual Spring" first appeared in the "Golden Country Bank" in Songyuan City.

Its owner was the president of that bank, Qiao Dewen of the fifth level of [Nothingness]. Now it seems that Qiao Dewen should have obtained it indirectly through someone in this auction.

This is enough to show that the auction of the "Spiritual Spring" is indeed true.

And the "Godly Object" Spiritual Spring, its real near-"law" ability is to "store" and "distribute" spirituality, that is, "experience".

Players can store experience points in it, and other players can also take out experience points!

This is a very important function. In the previous life, the "experience pool" held by Qiao Dewen allowed countless players to get stronger faster, and also opened up a new market for trading experience for money.

The emergence of "Spiritual Fountain" actually benefited the player groups operating in the form of "guilds".

A large number of mid-level players are responsible for gaining experience. After paying the usage fee of "Spiritual Fountain", they can "store" their experience points in "Spiritual Fountain", while the high-end players of the guild "receive" these experiences from "Spiritual Fountain", thus realizing the rapid upgrade of top members.

Although this way of transferring experience through "Spiritual Fountain" has a considerable loss of experience points in the middle, it is still an extremely efficient way to upgrade.

In the first major version of "God's Destiny", version 1.0 of "Judgment War", the highest level that players can reach is lv.30, and the highest number of destiny is three times of any destiny.

Generally speaking, it takes about three months for players to reach the level cap of version 1.0 by themselves. By using the power of the "Spring of Spirituality", they can shorten this time to one month!

When Luo Xiu recalled these, his eyes flashed, and he could not suppress his strong desire for this divine object "Spring of Spirituality".

Listening to Gawain's previous description, he obviously did not know the true function of the divine object "Spring of Spirituality". This is the limitation of the natives! Luo Xiu thought with some complacency.

Luo Xiu could probably guess that the "friend" mentioned by Gawain did not understand the function of the "Spring of Spirituality", so he blindly poured most of his experience, that is, "spirituality" into it, which led to his loss of extraordinary power.

However, Gawain's friend was able to discover the "spirituality storage" feature of the "Spiritual Fountain", which means that he coincidentally turned on a "switch" and was able to take out the experience he "deposited" - but in this case, for a single extraordinary person, the "spirituality" would inevitably lose some of it.

Later, the "friend" probably understood the withdrawn spirituality as a "gift" from the divine object itself, so he "deposited" and "withdrawn" his own spirituality again, which eventually led to his loss of all spirituality and all extraordinary power.

Similar things often happen in the world of Apocalypse, and the "friend" was unable to control the "quantity" of storing and extracting spirituality from the "Spiritual Fountain", which led to tragedy.

Lord Gawain attributed this to the "price of power".

Luo Xiu's eyes suddenly became deep.

Without time to think about why Lord Gawain would auction the "Spring of Spirituality" at this time, Luo Xiu only knew one thing at this moment -

He must get this divine object "Spring of Spirituality".

He must definitely get it! While no one has discovered its true function, "100,000 gold coins" is really a very low price!

After completing this complex thinking for a moment, Luo Xiu's eyes then looked at the other seats, those supernaturals who were eager to try.

After Gawain reported the starting price, no one took up the bid - for most supernaturals, "100,000 gold coins" is indeed a very high price.

Moreover, the guests in the audience also have their own concerns.

Because the price mentioned by Lord Gawain before, for most of them, it is necessary to carefully consider how much chips they should pay for it.

Seeing that no one had taken up the bid of 100,000 gold coins yet, Luo Xiu turned sideways and said to Intis who was standing behind him:

"Intis, lend me your bell."

... Bell? Intis was stunned, but she did not ask the reason. Instead, she put her left hand on the bracelet on her right hand and took out the string of ancient bells from it.

Luo Xiu reached out to take it and opened the panel. New words had already appeared on the panel.

"Spirit Cat Soul Bell", this is the bell that Intis carries with her, and it is also a special extraordinary equipment of "rare" quality.

Before, when Luo Xiu asked Intis to "interrogate" Saint and Naif, she used this string of bells to hypnotize them and confuse their minds.

After quickly browsing the panel, Luo Xiu roughly understood the use of the bell.

He then opened his palm and completely grasped the whole string of bells in his hand, so that when it was shaken later, it would not make too much noise as much as possible.

Then, Luo Xiu shook his palm lightly, and a certain hint immediately emerged in his mind...

"——[I have assets worth one million Norlan gold coins]."

He began to hypnotize himself and bewitch himself!

Because the offer made by Gawain before was too high, far exceeding the only three hundred platinum coins Luo Xiu had-after deducting the price of the broken heart of the gods, the remaining balance of only one hundred and seventy platinum coins, even if the principal he invested in the "Gold Country Bank" was also counted, after deducting the withdrawal loss, he could only withdraw assets of more than 100,000 gold coins at most.

This was only enough to meet the starting price of the divine object "Spiritual Spring", but Luo Xiu believed that if he wanted to get this divine object, this price was definitely not enough! Far from enough!

So, Luo Xiu simply confused himself early in order to bypass the restrictions of the "Black Sword Oath" so that he could bid the highest price for the "Spiritual Spring"!

As for what happened later, we will consider it later!

——Dingling... The "Spirit Cat Soul Bell" tightly grasped in the palm of the hand, its originally crisp bell sound became tiny and dull through the palm.

Luo Xiu also injected a proper amount of spirituality into the bell, and he immediately felt that in the depths of his mind, the suggestion he had just set for himself seemed to be "replacing" some of his original intuitions in some way.

Because of Luo Xiu's tacit consent, this process went particularly smoothly.

However, this kind of self-hypnosis and self-suggestion is not permanent. The spirituality that Luo Xiu poured into the bell allows it to last for about half a day, and then Luo Xiu's memory will return to its normal form.

After completing all this, Luo Xiu returned the bell to Intis.

For Luo Xiu at this time, he knew that he had just performed self-hypnosis, and therefore forgot some "not important" memories, and his consciousness became a little confused for a while.

However, as the fog of confusion gradually dissipated, an extremely clear idea gradually emerged in Luo Xiu's mind.

"——【I have assets worth one million Norland gold coins】!"

This thought was gradually accepted as a "real memory" in Luo Xiu's mind. However, hidden around this memory, other "voices of memory" also emerged.

"Don't be too ostentatious", "Act as usual", "Only for quotation", "Don't care about suspicion"... One after another, the voices of prompts sounded from the side, and Luo Xiu quickly understood.

These were all the protective locks that Luo Xiu set for his possible rollover when he was giving self-suggestions. Gradually, because the suggestion of "one million assets" came true, Luo Xiu's mentality became more cautious and more confident.

Until he finished all this, Luo Xiu looked around and smiled.

It has only been half a minute since Lord Gawain reported the starting price of the "Spiritual Spring". No one has taken up Gawain's offer yet, and everyone is watching.

Finally, when about ten seconds passed, a lady with blood-red long hair raised her hand in the "VIP" seat in the middle of the front row.

"I'll go first, 100,000 gold coins, lord. The sacred object is not important, I am more interested in buying your connections."

The lady's voice was high and rough, like a female mercenary who often hangs out in the Adventurer's Guild. When she was the first to accept Gawain's offer, Gawain showed a bright and gentle smile on his face.

"Thank you for your generosity, ma'am." Gawain said with a smile, "Then, 100,000 gold coins at a time."

When Lord Gawain finished speaking, a man wearing a white-faced and black-patterned cloak on the right side of the front row also raised his hand, "Haha... 'Godly object'... No matter how high the price is, It is a divine item after all...I will pay one hundred and five thousand..."

——One hundred and five thousand gold coins! This is only the second quotation, and there is an increase of 5,000 gold coins! That’s enough to buy an entire lot from a previous sale!

Luo Xiu thought to himself, his expression at this time was quite shocking, and he almost had "horrible" written on his face.

But this was not the final price. Luo Xiu soon heard the third voice.

"Cough cough, cough cough..." The voice came from an old lady, and she sounded not in good health. There was a heavy sound of stuck phlegm in her cough, "...Old man... Cough cough, old man... ten Thirty thousand gold coins..."

——One hundred and thirty thousand gold coins! This is another twenty-five thousand more than last time! The shock on Luo Xiu's face became more intense.

However, Luo Xiu has no worries now. After all, he has assets of one million gold coins, which is still within his acceptable range.

When the old lady quoted a price of 130,000 gold coins, Luo Xiu immediately raised his arms and shouted in a low voice:

"One hundred and forty thousand gold coins."

This is the one who uses the most concise words among the four quoters. With a "swish" sound, many eyes suddenly gathered over.

The guest sitting in the ordinary seat on the left is the first person to participate in the bidding of the "VIPs" as an "ordinary guest"!

After Luo Xiu made the quotation, Lord Gawain on the stage looked at Luo Xiu.

For some reason, Luo Xiu seemed to see that Gawain's brows seemed to frown tightly for a moment, but then relaxed again, with that gentle smile still on his face.

"One hundred and forty thousand gold coins, ah, this is a new guest, what a surprise!"

When Luo Xiu reported the quotation of 140,000 gold coins, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became quiet, and no new quotations appeared.

The red-haired lady sitting in the VIP seat in the front row suddenly laughed and said:

"Humph, 140,000 gold coins! Why the hell didn't I see that this thing is worth 140,000 gold coins! Lord Gawain, I'm sorry, your connections don't seem to be worth the price."

"..."

"I'm sorry, ma'am."

Unexpectedly, Lord Gawain was not angry, but nodded gracefully to the lady, "I deeply regret that I did not receive your approval."

"Uh..." The red-haired lady was immediately choked by Gawain's words. The words she originally wanted to use to "counterattack" Lord Gawain's anger were swallowed back in her stomach.

Gawain no longer paid attention to the episode here. His eyes swept across the audience, waiting for the next bidder to appear.

Three seconds later, a guest sitting in the middle seat on the right slowly raised his hand and said:

"I'll pay you 150,000 gold coins."

Okay... 150,000 gold coins! Luo Xiu's eyelids twitched.

Even if you have money, why are these people charging thousands and tens of thousands more! Luo Xiu then raised his hand again and quoted: "One hundred and sixty thousand gold coins."

Uh-huh! Luo Xiu once again felt the fiery gazes of all the guests.

He vaguely heard that someone seemed to be discussing in whispers the origin of the guest sitting in the seat on the left.

Uh... If you are exposed, just use the name "Alerdine Manston" to stop the gun... The first heir of the great family of the Golden Kingdom should be able to afford a mere hundred thousand Nolan gold coins. …

While Luo Xiu was thinking, his left leg was crossed over his right leg, with his hands folded in front of his chest. At the same time, he looked up at the guests in other seats, imitating the sitting posture of the gangsters in the previous movies and TV series, with a look of "I Invincible, carefree" attitude.

"One hundred and sixty thousand gold coins a time, this new friend is really more and more surprising." Gawain said with a smile.

"..." Luo Xiu had no expression on his face and just nodded slightly in greeting. He leaned back and leaned on the back of the sofa, waiting for possible bidding rivals to appear.

Three seconds later, the customer in the middle seat on the right who had previously offered 150,000 yuan raised his hand again.

"I'll pay you 180,000 gold coins."

Fuck... 180,000 gold coins! Luo Xiu's thoughts were racing, and he raised his head to see who was bidding.

Looking across the rows of seats in the middle, Luo Xiu saw the figure of the person bidding against him in the seat on the left.

The man was wearing a gorgeous white robe, embellished with exquisite gold patterns. His hair was the color of gold scattered like stars in the night sky, and there was a necklace of gold carvings hanging around his neck.

This image gave Luo Xiu a sudden premonition...

I'm afraid this is not a person from the "Golden Kingdom"... Could it be that Qiao Dewen in his previous life got the "spring of spirituality" from him?

Such a possibility came to Luo Xiu's mind.

Although he was wearing a mask, judging from the skin on the man's neck and arms, he shouldn't be too old.

If he really came from the "Golden Country", his reason for wanting to buy the sacred object "Spiritual Fountain" might be very simple...

As President Qiao Dewen's eyeliner, he bought certain auction items with "investment value"; or for personal collection, giving gifts as favors, etc... For such simple and unpretentious reasons, the big businessmen of the "El Dorado" did indeed They will spend a lot of money to buy what they like.

What kind of... would he be? Luo Xiu fell into thinking, but with millions of assets, he still had the confidence to bid with people suspected of being from the Golden Kingdom.

Luo Xiu then raised his arms and shouted in a low voice: "Two hundred thousand gold coins."

——Two hundred thousand gold coins! Luo Xiu could already hear the exclamations from other seats.

He somewhat enjoyed this feeling.

Suddenly, Luo Xiu felt a cold touch coming from the back of his neck.

Luo Xiu turned around and met Intis's eyes.

From those green eyes, Luo Xiu saw strong doubts, panic and worry.

"Lord, you, you..." Intis leaned down and said softly, "Have you forgotten? We...we don't have that much money..."

Don’t have that much money? Luo Xiu frowned slightly, but his subconscious told him that even if this was really the case, he had already prepared a way out.

"It doesn't matter, Intis." Luo Xiu smiled and said, "Trust me."

"..." Intis said nothing, but the worry in his eyes did not diminish at all.

Gao Wen on the high platform raised his eyebrows, and he looked at Luo Xiu with more appreciation.

Gawain then said loudly:

"Two hundred thousand gold coins! This is already double the starting price of the 'Fountain of Spirituality'! Does anyone want to give a higher bid?"

Lord Gawain asked three times in a row, but this time, no one gave a higher price.

The person suspected of being from the "El Dorado" did not continue bidding. He seemed to feel that the "Spirituality Fountain" exceeding 200,000 gold coins had lost its investment value.

"The final transaction price of the sacred object 'Spring of Spirituality' - two hundred thousand gold coins!"

Gawain clapped his hands, and then looked at Luo Xiu again, with a bright smile on his face, and announced:

"Congratulations, sir. The sacred object 'Spring of Spirituality' belongs to you."

Finally... Luo Xiu breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling physically and mentally comfortable.

His current mood was like that of a soldier who had just returned from a tough battle in triumph.

Luo Xiu then nodded slightly to Lord Gawain in response.

Although the person behind her... she seemed to be a little afraid of something, Luo Xiu felt that it shouldn't be a big problem.

After that, Lord Gawain bowed slightly to the audience, and then said loudly:

"Thank you all, I hope the 'interlude' I inserted on a whim can bring you a moment of joy."

After saying that, Lord Gawain bowed again, then turned around and retreated behind the scenes.

Lord Gawain left the scene, and he appeared in person, seemingly just to auction a divine item, the "Fountain of Spirituality"...

Luo Xiu thought to himself, and as the final winner of the "Spring of Spirituality", he would definitely meet this Lord again in the future.

Combining the memories of his previous life, this should not be too dangerous, and to say the least, he has not revealed his identity as a priest of the Sina City Church... The worst case scenario is that he will make the payment himself. Run away and let Mir, who has registered as a member here, take the blame... Moreover, Mir should have used a false identity when he registered as a member... Luo Xiu thought like this, so he no longer thought about Lord Gawain. thing.

The curtain on the stage was raised again. After a while, when it slowly opened to both sides again, the graceful figure of "Night Witch" Niaf reappeared on the high stage.

Niaf lifted up her skirt, bowed slightly to the audience, and then said in a soft voice:

"So, all the lots put out by the mansion have found new homes."

"This is exactly the significance of the antiquities auction held by the Black Sword Mansion. On behalf of the mansion, I would like to sincerely thank everyone present."

"Then, next."

Niaf paused for a moment, and then with a clear voice, she loudly announced to everyone in the audience:

"The dance at the mansion ends, and the feast for friends begins!"

"Please show me the valuable things you have collected."

"The mansion will witness it. Free and beautiful transactions are born in this auditorium!"

…
