Chapter 144: The Best is Yet to Come

There were a great many people in the venue, appearing to number close to a thousand; it completely failed to fit the nature of being secretive. Luolita could not help but say to Mata, "It looks like everyone here is wealthy, and there are even Believers from other churches. Will there really not be any problems?"

"Because the true secrecy is yet to come; what we are looking at now are just some conventional auction items." Mata blinked her eyes. "Did you think these things were all placed directly in front of everyone? Only a small portion of items are placed in plain sight; there are many more things that require you to feel them with your heart."

While they were chatting, the golden walls underwent some changes, and everyone fell silent.

The first things to emerge were some artworks from all over the country, from silk fabrics to antique clocks and watches—in short, everything one could imagine.

The pace of this batch of auction items was not slow, but it was very tedious. Luolita carefully recorded the entire process, then rubbed her somewhat tired neck.

Constantly craning her neck to watch like this was truly meaningless, and there was simply nothing she wanted.

For two whole hours, the venue auctioned off an item almost every two minutes, yet there were no Spiritual Materials at all.

It was not until Luolita was becoming drowsy that something she was interested in appeared.

"This is an ancient document that describes in detail the mausoleums in the northern Gannaer region. It is rumored that a large amount of Spiritual Material was used inside these mausoleums to ensure that the people within could achieve eternal life. It is said that Believers who worship the God of Death can possess longer lifespans, and these mausoleums are one of the sources of their longevity."

Upon hearing "ancient document," Ye Laoshi's eyes immediately lit up.

But unfortunately, he did not have the money to bid on this lot.

Especially when the starting price for this lot was as high as 4,000 Sidros.

However, this lot did not sell as well as everyone had imagined. Although information was provided, everyone knew what that place, Gannaer, was like.

Even Luolita knew that Gannaer was currently in the midst of war. The Believers of the God of Death had driven away several internal splinter sects that did not get along with them, and some of them were even working at Ye Laoshi's shop.

This lot went unsold after five minutes because no one raised a paddle.

Next was another lot, said to be a type of Charm produced by the Sun God Cult in the last century. It is rumored to be a Sun Charm personally crafted by Sidros, the Archbishop of the Sun God Cult at the time, possessing the ability to make one's mind clear and allow one to wander in the underworld.

Of course, this Charm was not without side effects; wearing it for more than fifteen minutes would result in the body spontaneously combusting. However, for a dying person in a coma, this Charm had an unexpected use.

At the very least, it could allow this dying person to draw up their will.

To Luolita, this thing could be called quite useless.

Fifteen minutes—one might not even be able to let their consciousness reach the underworld before being burned to death.

This was just too terrifying.

Yet, there were quite a few people bidding. The starting price for this item was 10,000 Sidros; at such a high price, it was actually bid up to a high price of 60,000 Sidros in the end.

As expected, there are still many wealthy people in the Royal Capital.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I don't know what these people are thinking. Wearing such an expensive Charm just to leave behind a will different from the one before." Mata really disliked the behavior of these rich people, because in her view, a will that could be influenced by 60,000 Sidros was usually written long ago.

This lot could be called the most expensive item in the auction venue at the moment; the previous antiques had only reached a high price of 30,000 Sidros at most.

Immediately following, the auction venue began to auction a weapon. "This is a blade from the abyss, rumored to have come from a rib of the demon royalty Stariban. Possessing this weapon, you will automatically possess terrifying combat ability, capable of facing hundreds of Barbarians, or fighting directly against herds of bison and elephants. It should be noted that the holder of this lot must return it to its original box within ten hours of obtaining this weapon, otherwise, they will become a murderous maniac."

"This is a top-tier weapon!" Luolita stretched her neck, wanting to see what this weapon actually looked like.

A broken blade, black and red all over, it looked plain and unremarkable, even a bit too worn.

But when the host dripped a drop of blood onto it, the broken blade recovered its former luster, and the original interface turned blood-colored, reflecting light dimly.

Tsk tsk tsk, if other players saw this, how jealous would they be?

They had been saying all along that the game's class system was flawed, that there was simply no way to upgrade to better equipment, no season system, and no PK system. Every day was spent living the same life, as if only the life-skill players were the most interesting.

Yes, Tana City, without War, lived quite comfortably. Those Patrol Guards, besides conducting training, had as their main goal the handling of the hoodlums in the city.

"This weapon, the starting price is 5,000 Sidros! Bidding starts at 5,000 Sidros!"

"I bid 10,000!"

"I bid 15,000!"

"20,000!"

The voices in the venue rose one after another. Mata, at her side, curled her lips. "A bunch of lunatics from the War Church, going crazy like this for a weapon. Murderous maniacs."

"You don't seem to like the War Church?"

"Most of them only like crude art, believing that bloodshed is also a part of art. But I prefer love; love is the true art. What do you think?" Mata revealed a look of longing. "Don't look at me like that; the plays I mainly perform are love dramas, and the vast majority of people prefer my performances."

Fine. Luolita turned her head back; by this time, the weapon had already been sold for a price of 100,000 Sidros.

How terrifying...

A large number of similar products were auctioned subsequently, but to be honest, they were too expensive.

Even if Chen Zhi put up all his net worth, he could only afford that book of ancient ruins.

Soon, the remaining grand finale lots had been auctioned off, and everyone returned to being noisy.

"How about it? These final items were truly stunning, right? This is the charm of this place, the world of Mysticism. However, I didn't come here for these things; I came for cooperation!" The boisterous Kali stood up excitedly. "I don't know where you are staying now; this is my Business Card. I don't think I can accompany you for now."

As he spoke, Kali walked forward and handed out Business Cards to several people who also looked like business elites.

No wonder this guy came, Luolita muttered to herself, and then she saw Mata, who was at her side, also stand up and walk toward the back.

Several guys who looked mysterious were also discussing something. They looked secretive, and even Mata had put on a headscarf, as if she had become another person.
