After arranging Hong Yun's clothes, Xu Lili quickly walked off the auction stage and turned into the backcourt, leaving only Hong Yun standing quietly behind the scenes.
She was wearing a red dress, showing off her slender waist and plump breasts. Her wavy hair hung down to her waist, with crystal earrings hanging from her earlobes. The ends of her hair were dyed a light burgundy color, and she exuded an aura of refinement and elegance.
While waiting calmly, one could hear the voices of people outside the curtain getting louder and louder. Among them were adults, children, and people with abilities that showed strong fluctuations from time to time.
The auction house's publicity did not disappoint her, pushing the auction house's popularity to its peak that night.
This may be due to the fact that Longwind City does not have new things like an auction house, or it may have something to do with the return of daylight, but the most important thing is the attraction of Fish-Fish Fruit itself.
A staff member trotted over and gestured to Hong Yun.
Hong Yun Seeing this, his originally nervous expression suddenly changed, and he raised his head with a smile on his lips.
It was at this time that the curtain slowly opened to the left and right.
On the tall and wide auction stage, Hong Yun stepped forward like Elf at night, with her graceful figure and beautiful face, instantly attracting the attention of all the people around her.
"Everyone, welcome to Longwind Auction House!"
Her voice was clear and bright, and she used the amplification device Spirit Plant in the Longwind City so that everyone in the auction house could hear her clearly.
The auction house has a general area and a VIP area.
Originally, there was no plan to use the VIP area for this auction, but the campaign was so successful that it even alerted many powerful adventure groups in the city.
These adventure groups are rich and powerful, so they naturally don't want to be crowded in the ordinary area, and would rather spend money to sit in the VIP seats.
The members of Gray Feather Squad were gathered in Box 3, looking through the glass at the lively scene below.
"There are so many people!" Bai Ge said repeatedly, "This auction house has been around twice, and the first auction attracted so many people."
"Most people come here for the Fish-Fish Fruit, wanting to see the rumored magical fruit that can Avatar Azure Dragon."
As the eldest sister in the team second only to Night Owl, Bluebird has always been the calmest among Gray Feather Squad and is responsible for maintaining the relationship between the team members.
Bai Ge chuckled, "Do you think that fruit is really that powerful? Just after eating it, you can immediately gain abilities?"
This is the first time Gray Feather Squad has heard of this magical thing after working in Dark Age for so long.
"Could it be that person who created the fruit that can awaken ordinary people's abilities?" Hidden Bat stared at Fish-Fish Fruit for a long time, and finally looked away.
Bai Ge nodded in agreement. "It's very possible that it's so miraculous and related to plants. Apart from our Lord Lord, I really can't think of anyone else who can do it."
"Unfortunately, both of you are wrong."
Bluebird corrected the two of them with a smile, "I asked the staff of this auction house before I came here, and they told me that this fruit has nothing to do with Mr. Lord, but comes from two mysterious people."
Bai Ge was a little shocked and said, "Do we, Longwind City, have other powerful plant-type ability users?"
Bluebird said, "Who said this thing must be made by a person with plant-type abilities? It may also be obtained by someone accidentally."
"How do the people at the auction house know the power of this fruit? Is it false advertising?"
"I don't know about this, but judging from the appearance of this Fish-Fish Fruit, it does match the characteristics of the legendary Azure Dragon."
"Then since it can Avatar Azure Dragon, why not just call it Azure Dragon fruit? Why is it called Fish-Fish Fruit" such a strange name?"
Facing Bai Ge's aggressive questioning, several black lines appeared on Bluebird's forehead, and he wanted to kick this guy out.
Go.
"Since you have so many questions, why don't you just take a photo of this fruit and try it?"
"Uh--"
Bai Ge immediately stopped talking. He avoided Bluebird's knife-like eyes, took a few steps back, and came to Shen Xi's side.
Shen Xi was a woman that Gray Feather Squad met in other human camps. She awakened her ability after Harsh Winter. Immediately after awakening her ability, she massacred everyone who had violated her. After that, she was brought back to Longwind City by Gray Feather Squad and became a member of the team. Now her code name is "Cold Crow".
And her ability is very special, it is a very rare precognitive ability, and there is also a body strengthening ability hidden by her. Like Xue Ningning, she is a dual-talented ability user with two kinds of abilities.
Now Shen Xi's strength has exceeded C-Rank, becoming the strongest among Gray Feather Squad besides the captain.
There is no way around it. Her prediction ability and physical strengthening ability allow her to predict her opponent's movements in advance. Within the same level, few people can beat her in actual combat.
Of course, except for the elite and powerful Longwind City officials.
In the circle of Longwind City's ability users, when it comes to strength, they never compare officials with others.
Especially the two departments Garrison Guard and Rune Workshop.
The former has the core training building "Trial Temple". Every once in a while, elite warriors can go to Trial Temple to conduct mysterious trials. This is no longer a secret among the Longwind City ability users.
In addition, Garrison Guard's usual training intensity is far beyond what adventurers can match. Even in a life-and-death fight, Garrison Guard's strength in this aspect is higher than that of most adventurers.
The only thing that can be compared is survivability.
Because adventurers have been walking in the wilderness for a long time, they have richer survival experience than the warriors of Garrison Guard.
The latter Rune Workshop is completely unreasonable.
Limited by the characteristics of the profession Rune Master, which is weak in the early stage and strong in the later stage, since Lincon created Rune Golem", Rune Workshop began to conduct special research on Rune Golem to make up for its shortcomings of being weak in the early stage.
After layers of improvements, to this day, basically every Rune Master will be accompanied by a Rune Golem.
These Rune Golem types come in various forms, including animal forms, humanoid forms, and mechanical forms.
If you want to attack Rune Master, you must get past Rune Golem who is guarding them.
A regular model of Rune Golem is about as powerful as D-rank, and the stronger one is C-Rank, which is used to protect Rune Workshop's top students and key researchers in the workshop.
I heard that in Rune Workshop, there is also a B-Rank Rune Golem that Master Lord personally cast for the workshop, named Changfeng Ju
Like ", the materials chosen are all high-grade energy crystals, both in hardness and energy conduction efficiency, far exceeding those of ordinary abilities.
In this way, the early shortcomings of Rune Master are basically eliminated.
At the stage of B-Rank, Rune Master basically does not need Rune Golem to protect them, because they themselves are extremely powerful.
Currently, B-Rank Rune Master Xia Xun is the only one among Rune Workshop. In the same level of battle, except Wraith Hand Luo Qian of Garrison Guard, he has basically never encountered any opponents.
Do you understand the value of later career?
In the early stage, you bullied me, humiliated me and laughed at me, but I didn't pick on you.
But what should you call me in the later stage?
In the private room, Bai Ge stared at Shen Xi with an expectant look on his face.
"Cold Crow, can you predict the scene related to that fruit?"
By C-Rank, Shen Xi's precognitive ability has also been strengthened. As long as you focus on a certain thing, you can vaguely see the future pictures related to it through that thing.
Shen Xi had an indifferent expression. He didn't want to waste his energy on a fruit, but when he saw Bai Ge looking like he was begging for help, his heart softened and he walked to the window and looked at the fruit below.
At this time, the curtain had just opened. Auctioneer, wearing a red dress, walked to the center with a beautiful appearance and began to tell information about Fish-Fish Fruit.
Shen Xi concentrated, and an invisible wave of ability flew towards Fish-Fish Fruit like a long needle.
Just at this moment, Rune Array placed outside the fruit lit up intermittently, and then gradually went out.
Because her ability would not affect or damage the fruit, Defense Rune Array hid after judging that there was no threat.
Shen Xi only felt that the distance between herself and Fish-Fish Fruit was getting closer and closer, like a microscope magnified a hundred times, and every detail on the surface of the fruit was clearly visible in her eyes.
From the surface of the fruit, to the unknown energy surging invisibly under the surface, to the deeper interior----
Immediately afterwards, the screen turned pitch black, and just when Shen Xi thought that a blurry picture of Fish-Fish Fruit's future was about to flash, an unprecedented sense of oppression suddenly appeared all over her body.
The sound of the wind blowing leaves could be heard faintly in my ears, and then not long after, Elf-like laughter sounded again.
"Boom!!"
But in the next second, the dark screen suddenly flashed.
Just in this flash, Shen Xi saw a huge ancient tree shrouded in dark light, as if standing in the depths of an endless river.
The tree shook, and her ability was forcibly interrupted.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo----"
Shen Xi pressed her right hand tightly on her chest, and there were throbbing pains in her heart. She tried hard to adjust her breathing, but the feeling of weightlessness in her mind was even more serious.
The moment she had a problem, Gray Feather Squad members gathered around her.
Bai Ge looked anxious and squatted next to Shen Xi, not knowing what to do.
"Boss, I just asked Cold Crow to look at it for me. I didn't do anything else."
Night Owl waved his hand and frowned to check the situation of Shen Xi.
After careful inspection, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is no danger to his life. He just suffered a backlash from his ability. He will recover soon."
Bai Ge When he first heard that there was no danger to his life, he felt a little relieved, but Night Owl's next sentence made him nervous again.
Night Owl said calmly, "However, in the next period of time, she should no longer be able to use her precognitive ability."
"Ah? I just asked Cold Crow to help me Appraisal get that fruit, how could it become so serious?"
Bai Ge's tone was full of guilt and self-blame. As a companion who lived together day and night, he had already regarded everyone in Gray Feather Squad as his family. If he had known that this would happen, he would definitely not let Shen Xi use his abilities.
Everyone on the side understood Bai Ge's mood very well and started to comfort him one after another.
After a few minutes, the throbbing pain in Shen Xi's heart slowly eased, and he regained his energy. Then he woke up and opened his eyes.
Bai Ge immediately put his head over and apologized repeatedly with a regretful expression.
Shen Xi was helped up by Bluebird and sat on the chair next to her. Seeing everyone staring at her intently, she sighed softly and pointed to Fish-Fish Fruit on the dry gold stand outside the window.
"My ability cannot predict the future of that fruit, but from the flash of related scenes, I saw a huge Ancient Tree. The origin of this fruit is extraordinary."
"I suggest that if you can take a picture, take a picture of it as much as possible."
After Shen Xi finished speaking, she closed her eyes and pursed her lips tightly. It was obvious that she had used up all her strength to say these words.
Hearing this, Night Owl and Bluebird looked at each other, and their eyes Divine Transformation became solemn.
For Shen Xi to attach so much importance to it after just one glance shows that there is really something to this fruit of the auction house.
Gray Feather Squad Everyone stood in front of the box, their eyes all falling on the Fish-Fish Fruit wrapped in a transparent crystal mask below.
"Try it!" Night Owl made the final decision.
Hong Yun opened her arms and bathed in the spotlight. With a bit of pride in her eyes, she introduced the Fish-Fish Fruit behind her to everyone present.
Her voice is sonorous, clear and clear, and even a child can fully understand what she means.
But in summary, this Fish-Fish Fruit is very rare and powerful. It is the only opportunity for ordinary people to change their lives against the odds. If you miss it, you will regret it for life.
But at this time someone raised questions.
"Is it useful for people with abilities to eat it?"
Hong Yun smiled slightly and had already prepared his words.
"I do not recommend that people with abilities eat it, because there is a high probability that the fruit's ability will conflict with your own awakened ability, resulting in irreversible consequences."
"The possibility is that your original ability is covered by the fruit ability, or the combination of your original ability and the fruit ability produces uncontrollable mutations, destroying the energy circulation in the body----"
"No matter which one is used, it will be detrimental to the ability user, just like water and fire are incompatible. If you try randomly, it may lead to fatal risks."
As soon as Hong Yun finished speaking, there was a buzz of discussion from the audience.
A middle-aged person with abilities sitting in the front row of the general area frowned and shouted a question.
"What if you are a person with special abilities? For example, I have water abilities. If I consume Fish-Fish Fruit, will the conflict be smaller, thus achieving the effect of one plus one being greater than two?"
Hong Yun smiled and shook his head, "Sir, the essence of the Azure Dragon fruit is Mythical Zoan". What it can give to the eater is a bloodline power that is completely independent of your existing abilities."
"In other words, it is not adding to your abilities. No matter what your original attributes are, as long as there is already a complete energy cycle in the body, the two systems will squeeze each other and compete for space, and the results are difficult to predict."
Although Hong Yun is certain in her heart that Fish-Fish Fruit is related to the ability to transform into Azure Dragon, she is still very cautious when it comes to human life.
Especially Longwind City, a city with relatively strict laws.
The auction house finally took advantage of this opportunity to become famous. If someone was killed because of the auction items, if Sacred Court Left Guard came to find her, she would probably be sent to Prison to go to jail.
Hong Yun glanced at the ability users in the audience who had obviously unwilling expressions.
Most of these people have auxiliary abilities or little room for growth. Until now, they are only at the D-rank or even E-Rank Crystal level. After a long period of squandering, they want to rely on Fish-Fish Fruit to change their fate.
It's a pity that she really can't help these people!
After all, except for the fact that Fish-Fish Fruit can make people gain abilities, the rest was made up by her.
This is just like Old Era drug dealers selling fake drugs. You can exaggerate the publicity or even make up some fictitious effects.
But if you eat people to death, then sorry, the silver bracelet will make you doubt your life.
Hong Yun said in a gentle tone, "So I suggest again that this fruit is most suitable for ordinary people, or people who have not yet awakened."
"If you have such family or friends around you, this may be a life-changing opportunity for them."
As soon as these words came out, many people began to feel moved in their hearts.
Yes, if you don't want to eat it, you can let your family eat it!
Dark Age, Only if you are strong enough can you live a better life.
Even in Longwind City, people with abilities have more choices than ordinary people.
Although Longwind City itself has three career paths: Rune Warrior, Rune Master and Plant Cultivator, which can make ordinary people stronger.
But these all have preconditions.
Rune Warrior must join Garrison Guard to protect our country.
Rune Master has strict talent requirements, and only the top talents selected from a million can barely get started.
Although Plant Cultivator is relatively free, the only point is that it requires sufficient affinity with Spirit Plant, and cultivating Spirit Plant is time-consuming and laborious. If the symbiosis is weak and mediocre Spirit Plant, the upper limit of its own growth will fluctuate greatly.
In comprehensive comparison, the appearance of Fish-Fish Fruit is more attractive than the three.
After all, who doesn't want to just take off on the spot and have powerful abilities without having to do anything?
There was another chaotic exchange in the audience.
Some people nodded, some shook their heads, and some were thinking about whether their family could eat Fish-Fish Fruit.
In the third box, Night Owl heard these words, and his brows relaxed a little.
The smaller the number of people competing, the greater the probability of winning Fish-Fish Fruit, so Gray Feather Squad can also reduce expenses.
Don't look at it, Gray Feather Squad is now Longwind City's one of the most powerful adventure groups.
But when it comes to financial resources, it's not necessarily the Wandering Merchant or the official merchants in the city that have the money, which is what worries him.
Finally, after Hong Yun saw that the atmosphere was about the same, he announced the starting price of Fish-Fish Fruit.
The starting price is one thousand Longwind Gold Coin, and each increase in price shall not be less than one thousand Longwind Gold Coin.
This starting price is actually not high, even a little low.
Because compared to the rarity and powerful ability of Fish-Fish Fruit, even the starting bid of 10,000 Longwind Gold Coin is not an exaggeration.
However, considering that the auction house has just opened, the starting price cannot be set too high, otherwise it will lose some small and medium-sized markets.
So I set the starting price at one thousand, and then made a fuss about increasing the price.
The minimum bid increase of one thousand Gold Coin is definitely a high-priced auction, and it won't take many rounds to go up.
And even if no one bids, she will not let Fish-Fish Fruit be auctioned at a low price. There are people arranged by her in the crowd. If Fish-Fish Fruit is less than ten thousand Gold Coin, it will be taken back by the auction house itself.
However, the number of people paying attention to Fish-Fish Fruit at the scene was obviously beyond Hong Yun's expectations. The bidding had just begun when someone raised a sign to raise the price to 10,000 Gold Coin at once. The most important thing was that this was not the person she arranged.
Hong Yun raised his eyes and saw several people in Box 4 in the VIP area looking at Fish-Fish Fruit in the field with fiery eyes.
That is----Huntwind Squad.
Longwind City Adventurers' Guild There are currently three teams that have been officially awarded Adventurer Medal.
They are Gray Feather Squad, Huntwind Squad and Rose Exploration Society.
Each of these three adventure groups has one or two B-Class Ability User in charge, and most of the remaining group members are C-Rank Adventurer.
"I didn't expect it to be Huntwind Squad. Could it be that they saw how powerful Fish-Fish Fruit is?" Hong Yun was slightly shocked.
The direct increase from one thousand to ten thousand is intended to directly crush those who want to bid.
To be more precise, I am determined to win this Fish-Fish Fruit, and I want to express to all those who want to bid: I have taken a liking to this thing.
But Huntwind Squad does this, but it does no good to the auction house.
Hong Yun hopes for fierce competition rather than a group of people overwhelmed by ten thousand Longwind Currency like this.
She glanced around and found that several people who were obviously attracted to Fish-Fish Fruit before heard the amount of 10,000 Gold Coin, and immediately restrained their thoughts.
For a moment, there was nothing but the faint sound of breathing in the entire auction venue.
Night Owl, who was sitting in box three, frowned slightly and raised his eyes to look at the box next to him.
The leader inside is a tall and thin figure with thick finger bones, wearing the latest Forging Department Resolve Series Runes Armor
Men, Huntwind Squad captain "He Tianying".
Behind him were several members of Huntwind Squad. One of them, a short young man, was being supported by several other teammates and looking at Fish-Fish Fruit with burning eyes.
Obviously, the other party must have noticed the difference between Fish-Fish Fruit through some method.
"Oh----it seems things are not that simple anymore!"
Night Owl sighed and was about to raise his sign to increase the price when he heard someone shouting out faster than him.
"Twelve thousand Longwind Gold Coin!" Hong Yun shouted in surprise.
She looked at the sign holder.
The other person was just sitting in the general area, wearing a gray robe, with a calm expression, and a sense of calmness in his movements.
Good guy, even the biggest Wandering Merchant in the city is here.
Immediately afterwards, Gray Feather Squad also began to enter the market.
Night Owl sighed and raised the price to 15,000 yuan.
However, in less than a moment, his price was suppressed by Rose Exploration Society on the other side.
Seeing this scene, the originally cold atmosphere of the auction suddenly became lively.
The eyes of the crowd in the field moved here and there, with wonderful expressions.
There's a lot of fun here to watch.
Longwind City The three major B-Rank adventure groups and the largest Wandering Merchant bid for a Fish-Fish Fruit that can give ordinary people extraordinary power. Does this mean that Fish-Fish Fruit really has the power to make people crazy as Auctioneer said?
Buyouren stared at Fish-Fish Fruit, thinking deeply.
Longwind City leaked out of Devil Fruit for the first time, and its impact was far greater than imagined.
Hong Yun didn't know that the exaggerated rhetoric he made up happened to correspond to the ability of Fish-Fish Fruit.
All this is not false, but can be traced.
Among all kinds of people with strange abilities, there are always people who can see through the disguise of the Devil Fruit watch spear and discover the terrifying power it brings inside.
