The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

As a key auction house, the Qingfeng City Auction House is hundreds of times more luxurious than Xu Lai's castle.

Knowing that Xu Lai's auction house was about to open, the elves Reina and Jimmy Martell each sent a large number of gifts.

Reina personally escorted a batch of treasures looted from Darkhor and returned home less than three days later.

Wang Chao also brought a large amount of supplies obtained from destroying the main city. He was busy until yesterday afternoon to settle all the supplies and logistics.

Jimmy couldn't come in person to show his support. The city that had just been conquered didn't even have a magic guild, and there was no foundation for building a teleportation array.

However, he still ordered people to send back some treasures early, all of which were looted from the two cities that had just been conquered.

This viscount and a baron are not of high status, so the collections at home are naturally not comparable to those of Count Aini.

However, Jimmy only sent the top ones, and if they were taken out separately, they were all valuable rare collections.

After Xu Lai received the people, he also arrived at the venue early and sat in the top-level box of the auction house.

In the box, only the city lord Su Ya and Yu Lan were in the box next door.

Giselle and Elvy were in the smaller box next door.

They had no interest in socializing.

On such a day, everyone was relaxing, and Xu Lai was reluctant to let them continue to work hard, so he sat next door and drank tea.

In the box, after everyone exchanged appropriate greetings, because Knight Entan and the little Naga princess were not familiar with each other, many of the conversations did not go deep.

Everyone simply drank two cups of tea and ate some dragon meat snacks made by the castle chef, and soon waited for today's auctioneer to come on stage.

Today's auctioneer was none other than Wei Yihong, who had been promoted to the Minister of Commerce of Qingfeng City and was in charge of the entire Qingfeng City business.

Wei Yihong was originally a salesman, and selling things was also his job, but the things he sold today were of a higher grade.

In order to ensure that the atmosphere in the venue can be ignited at the beginning, and to commemorate the first auction of the auction house, the first item on the stage today is a divine weapon.

Moreover, this is a well-known divine weapon, and its reputation is even more exaggerated than that of the Angel Alliance.

There is no way, this is a world where dragons exist, and the dragons are extremely powerful.

Whether it is angels or demons, their reputations are not as loud as dragons.

Not only are there many types of dragons, but each type is also very powerful, and there is even a unique 10th-level holy dragon.

The most exaggerated thing is that the dragons themselves have many types, and they also like to breed randomly, making the world and all camps almost have the blood of dragons.

For example, dragon eagles, griffins, dragon flies, flying dragons, hydras, etc., all have the blood of dragons.

The reputation of dragons is so great that the divine weapons related to dragons are also very famous, and the most famous one is naturally the Dragon Slayer Sword.

Whether it is angels or demons, or Behemoths and Titans, no matter how powerful they are, they will be the same after they die.

However, the dragon is full of treasures, which is not an empty talk, but a real practice with his own life.

Therefore, among the artifacts related to the dragon, the Dragon Slaying Sword is the most famous and the most sought-after artifact.

The opponent that Xu Lai is most worried about now is not the stronghold that is ready to move, but the demon from hell.

These guys are neither giant creatures nor creatures with dragon blood. The Dragon Slaying Sword may have additional killing power against giants such as the Abyss Lord.

However, there is only one Dragon Slaying Sword, which is the least effective in Xu Lai's hands.

In addition, there are no giant creatures in the Empire camp, which are not very restrained by the Dragon Slaying Sword, so it can be sold boldly.

As a popular item, Wei Yihong set a starting price of one gold coin for this item after introducing the Dragon Slaying Sword.

The meaning of one gold coin is to make everyone eligible to bid.

And the increase of one gold coin is to make most people feel involved.

Sure enough, the dignified Dragon Slaying Sword was sold for only one gold coin, and the price could be raised by one gold coin each time, which aroused the enthusiasm of many people.

Whether in the hall or the box, there were shouts of bidding.

The auction will provide number plates to all bidders, but simply raising the placard cannot satisfy their sense of participation.

The auction house is divided into the hall and the box. As long as the capital is verified and applied to become a bidder, one or two companions can enter the hall.

The box has an entry threshold and additional expenses, but it can bring more people and get service from waiters.

Compared with the shouts in the hall, there was almost no movement in the boxes downstairs or upstairs.

They knew very well that the starting price of one gold coin was just to make people outside lively, and the people who could really decide the ownership of these artifacts were those sitting in the box.

Those who could sit in the box were not ordinary.

Xu Lai had already looked at the specific list. Many of them were wealthy people from the south, and some were dignitaries from the imperial capital and the northern empire.

The fortress, the tower, and even the Eastern Empire had sent some people over, all in the top-floor box.

Xu Lai did not come out to greet them, but Wei Yihong had already left a meeting request for Xu Lai on behalf of the representatives of these forces.

Xu Lai still doesn't know what the purpose of these three major forces is, but except for the tower, he doesn't really want to see the other two, and his intuition is that there is nothing good to do.

It's a pity that as a lord, unless Xu Lai has nothing to ask for in the future, he should stay on the sidelines so that we can meet each other in the future.

"Box No. 10 on the second floor, Mr. Mole, bid 500,000 gold coins!"

After the excitement, the big guys in the box finally started to take action.

And as soon as they took action, the hall became silent.

There was a lot of excitement just now with everyone bidding, but in fact the increase was not large, mostly in the thousands, and occasionally tens of thousands of gold coins.

But as soon as the big guys in the box took action, the price doubled, which made the people in the hall do what they wanted to do.

Although the crowd was unhappy, some mercenary captains had even sat down with each other to discuss raising funds to purchase the dragon-slaying sword.

Anyway, if you want to slay a dragon, it's not something that two people can do. Even a mercenary group often overturns.

Everyone raises money to buy a dragon-slaying sword, and then forms a team to slay dragons. If you are lucky enough to kill a few dragons, you might even get a magic weapon for free.

But before the mercenary captains could come up with a conclusion, the price of the dragon-slaying sword had already skyrocketed, reaching a terrifying price of 800,000 gold coins.

Xu Lai remembered that the price of those meritorious service tasks in the temple was only about 200,000 yuan in exchange for an artifact.

Xu Lai used 10,000 gold coins in exchange for 4,000 points of merit. Calculating, an artifact butterfly with a merit value of 220,000 can be purchased for about 550,000 gold coins.

However, although the butterfly attributes are not bad, they cannot be compared with the Dragon Sword. Not to mention anything else, just its popularity alone kills it instantly.

What's more, judging from the redemption of priests and angels' summoning quotas, the merits of the temple are rewarding.

It can be seen from the fact that the temple has only opened the redemption list and merit tasks to a few heroes such as Xu Lai.

Xu Lai's auction was here. Not to mention gathering the entire wealthy class of the empire, at least half of them had to come.

With so many people competing together, it is only normal for a 10%-30% premium on even ordinary magic equipment, let alone an artifact.

Therefore, the price of 800,000 gold coins did not stay there for too long.

"Box 1 on the 5th floor, Mr. White Gloves, bid 1 million gold coins!"

White Glove is the code name Entan gave himself. Although he is now the first heir to the throne, he can be called the second-ranking figure in the Northern Empire.

However, the incident of losing a royal war horse to Xu Lai because of throwing away white gloves still made him brood.

"So you are also interested in this sword. If you had told me earlier, I would have kept it for you and not put it up for auction."

En Tan rolled his eyes and said, "Please say no. I can't afford to repay a favor worth more than one million."

Xu Lai smiled slightly and stopped talking nonsense, lest this guy really take it seriously and asked him to give it to him.

The entire auction house has a total of 5 floors and adopts a cylindrical construction plan.

In the center of the first floor is a circular platform, which is the main venue for the auction.

In the hall, there are all the tables on the first floor except for the circular high platform. Starting from the second floor, there are all treasure boxes, arranged in a circle around the auction table.

The further up you go, the fewer the private rooms, and the corresponding space in the private rooms is larger and more luxurious.

Ordinary private rooms can be purchased with money on a first-come, first-served basis. All rooms above the 3rd floor, that is, the top, are by invitation only.

Of course, those people sitting on the fourth floor today were not invited by Xu Lai, but received invitations through Jimmy, Reina, and Wei Yihong.

No. 1 on the 5th floor. As soon as the room number was announced, the whole audience was silent for a long time.

It wasn't until the part-time host Wei Yihong dropped the hammer twice in a row that the man codenamed Mr. Mole on the second floor quoted a price of 1.05 million gold coins.

"Why don't you continue to follow?"

Seeing Entan pondering for a long time, Xu Lai couldn't help but ask.

Entan smiled bitterly and said: "One million gold coins buy a sword. If my father finds out, he will have to skin me.

But I know that there are several big businessmen in the south who are very interested in this dragon-slaying sword.

I originally thought that if the price was good, I would take it and sell it to them, and I could always make 50,000 or 80,000 yuan.

I’m not confident I can earn more than one million. "

Entan did not continue to follow, so after two more rounds of bidding, this dragon-slaying artifact finally fell into the hands of Mr. Mole, No. 10 on the second floor.

However, he had to shell out a full 1.5 million gold coins to take away this artifact.

Others don't know this Mr. Mole, but Xu Lai knows everyone's code name.

He is the president of the Southern Maritime Alliance. He owns nearly one-third of the merchant ships in the alliance. He is an out-and-out super rich man.

The merchants who went to Naga territory before were members of the Grand Alliance.

However, after Naga climbed up to Xu Lai, he stopped trading with the merchants in the south. As a result, these people followed Naga's team and found Qingfeng City.

Originally, these southerners wanted to threaten Su Ya and make Qingfeng City cut off its trade with Naga.

In the end, the threat failed. Wei Yihong, who had heard the news from nowhere, took him to Qingfeng City for a tour, and his attitude directly changed to cooperation.

That is why Suya, Emilia and the Maritime Merchants Alliance jointly invested in the expansion of Naga Town into a large port city.

Although the city has not been completely built, the port has been completed, so among the people present today, there are more wealthy people from the south.

After the good start, although the Dragon Slaying Sword was bought by the mysterious rich man, the atmosphere on the scene also became lively.

After all, 1.5 million gold coins, the exaggerated amount that the first heir of the Northern Empire was reluctant to give up, opened the eyes of many people.

As a knight, Entan naturally coveted the artifact such as the Dragon Slaying Sword.

The words just now were just to deal with Xu Lai and his father. Anyway, if his father was angry, he would just sell it.

If he was not so angry, he would keep it for himself.

It was just that the Emerald City was in ruins, and bad news came from the Western Empire again.

At this juncture, he knew that his father would not agree, and one million was already the limit of his trial.

The second, third, and tenth lots were all provided by Qingfeng City.

They were one piece of fine dragon meat, 99 pieces of fine dragon meat, one piece of complete dragon skin, and some prepared dragon skin armor and dragon scale armor.

There were 9 lots in total, ranging from single items to several packages, from dragon meat, dragon skin to dragon blood, dragon tendons, dragon scales, dragon claws, and dragon teeth.

The 9 materials were sold for a total of more than 500,000 gold coins, which made the fat man who bought the Dragon Slaying Sword very happy.

Of these 9 lots, the dragon meat is naturally not enough for a whole dragon, but other materials, about one and a half dragons can definitely be deducted.

Even if the auction price is inflated, it will cost at least 300,000 gold coins to kill an 8th-level dragon and find someone to divide the materials.

After deducting the remuneration of mercenaries and tailors, it is not too much to earn 100,000 from a dragon.

If you calculate it this way, a Dragon Slaying Sword can be recovered with only 15 dragons, making a lot of money.

After calculating the accounts, the others also felt that they were at a disadvantage because they did not get this bargain.

So starting from the 10th lot, everyone's enthusiasm increased a bit.

Xu Lai was now very confused about money. He couldn't even count the reserves in his space ring.

Therefore, he was not interested in how many gold coins he sold for his own things.

On the contrary, Xu Lai was very interested in the items that other people had placed on the auction besides his own things.

"One order, 300,000 gold coins for the No. 1 box on the 5th floor, the third time!"

Wei Yihong didn't even call out the code name for this time's auction item. Everyone knew that it was probably the owner of this city who made the move.

This was the first time Xu Lai raised a sign. Whether it was sitting in the hall or in the box, basically everyone was willing to give him this face.

When he called out 250,000 for the first time, some people followed him tentatively. As a result, he immediately called out 350,000, and everyone immediately fell silent.

Only the real owner of this auction item gritted his teeth in hatred.

In fact, Xu Lai had talked to someone before the order appeared in the auction house.

However, this person was not as easy to talk to as the owners of those rings, and was completely indifferent to the 800,000 gold coins offered by Xu Lai.

"Next, it is the 31st lot of this auction, the artifact summoning stone water unicorn!" (End of this chapter)
