Upon entering the auction hall, Logo and his companions were led to a private box by attendants.
The auction officially began shortly afterward.
The auctioneer was an obese devil, who looked either greedy or gluttonous.
This devil had excellent oratory skills, easily stirring up the emotions of everyone in the room, resulting in the first item being sold for a good price.
The atmosphere gradually intensified, Logo would occasionally make a move, snapping up some of the alchemical materials he needed.
The materials he bought were not particularly precious, but they were scarce, usually rare resources that were hard to find elsewhere.
This is actually a common problem among alchemists; they can't resist buying Rare materials when they see them, analyzing them, and then storing them in their memory palace.
Whenever needed, you can simply use the Philosopher's Stone to create it, which is quite convenient.
Not only Logo, but also Crassus, Caesar and other companions frequently made purchases of their desired resources.
Crassus, in particular, pretended to be stupid and tricked those alchemists into betting against him, winning a total of more than 5,000 Star Wheel in one go. Adding this to the 3,000 he already had, he had a huge sum of 8,000 Star Wheel in his hands. Under Caesar's envious gaze, he bought a lot of good things.
Caesar couldn't help but regret not having acted sooner.
Who would have thought those alchemists were so easily fooled?!
In the end, Caesar could only lament that greed can blind a person to their own limitations.
"Lot 2312, Blood of the Moon Elf, starting bid 500 Star Wheel, minimum increment 10 Star Wheel. Auction begins now!"
The obese devil tapped his wooden mallet, and the attendees immediately began bidding.
Inside the private room, Logo's eyes lit up slightly when he saw the blood of the Moon Elf. Although he hadn't touched the flesh and blood of the "Sun Elf," the "Moon Elf" seemed quite good as well.
In any case, whether they are Sun Elf or Moon Elf, they are all of the Elf King, with the same bloodline level, and both are skilled at cultivating various plants.
In fact, when it comes to plant care alone, Moon Elf is even more outstanding.
With that in mind, Logo no longer hesitated and directly offered 2,000 Star Wheel, which immediately stunned many people.
His price was well-timed; the typical transaction price for Moon Elf Blood is between 1900 and 2300 Star Wheel.
After all, it's just the blood of Moon Elf, not including bones, internal organs, or other body tissues, so the price won't be too outrageous.
Seeing that Logo had raised the price to 2000 Star Wheel, many people chose to give up, but others chose to continue competing. Logo was not intimidated at all and finally acquired the Blood of the Moon Elf for 2350 Star Wheel, letting out a long sigh of relief.
One of the purposes of this trip to the Astral Realm is that the materials for the potion clone are now ready.
"Boss, didn't you say that the Moon Elf are the two great kings of the Elf race? And the Elf Race is one of the ruling races of the super civilization ' World Tree Alliance '? So why Star Sea Auction dare to auction Moon Elf blood so openly?" Tiffany asked, scratching her head in confusion, question marks floating on her little head.
Crassus and the others also looked over, but Madison stroked his beard and smiled, revealing a meaningful expression.
Logo glanced at the eager faces around him and asked, "Do you know who the largest shareholder of Star Sea Bank is?"
"Isn't it Devils of Hell?"
"What faction do the Devils of Hell belong to?"
"That goes without saying, it's lawful evil."
What about the Elf Race?
"Lawful good... So that's how it is!!"
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
"Do you understand now? To some extent, Star Sea Bank and the Elf Race are on opposing sides, so let alone just Moon Elf blood, they'd sell even living Moon Elf slaves!"
"But then, won't the [Astral Realm Council] take any responsibility?"
"How can we manage it? To cause trouble for the Devil Clan over such trivial matters? Don't forget, the Devil Clan are also one of the dominant races in the Astral Realm Council, far stronger than the Elf Race. The main purpose of the Astral Realm Council is to make decisions about the general direction of the Astral Realm's development; such trivial matters are never even discussed publicly..."
Upon hearing this, Tiffany and the others nodded in understanding, realizing the meaning behind Logo's words: ultimately, wasn't it simply that the Devil Clan had more power than the Elf Race?
If the two sides were in opposite positions of power, I doubt the Devil Clan would dare to act so blatantly.
Having acquired the Blood of the Moon Elf, Logo's expectations for the auction greatly diminished, and he sat back, savoring the special drinks offered by Star Sea Bank.
Time passed slowly, and the auction came to an end with the final, crisp sound of the gavel.
The crowd filed out, Logo opened the door to the private room and walked out along the corridor.
As he passed a fork in the road, he saw something that made Logo's gaze suddenly sharpen, his pupils tremble violently, and his body involuntarily freeze.
Crassus and Caesar, who were behind him, immediately became alert, their eyes turning fierce as they scanned the surroundings.
"This feeling of blood pulsating... that person also has Gendaya blood, and it's much nobler than mine..." Logo clutched his chest, feeling his heart pounding uncontrollably, his emotions surging. He knew it was his own bloodline rejoicing.
With a quick thought, Logo stepped forward and blocked the way for several cloaked figures.
"Young man, what do you want?" A hoarse, shrill voice rang in my ears, carrying a strange charm that went straight to my soul.
Beneath the cloak, two pale white flames of the soul spun and burned. Dry skin clung tightly to the bones, and tattoos covered the cheeks, making the face appear ferocious and terrifying.
Without a doubt, this was a Devil Clan, and a demon noble of considerable rank. Logo couldn't discern which lineage he belonged to because his attention was completely focused on the other cloaked figure.
"Do you know Gendaya?" Logo asked directly, not intending to beat around the bush, otherwise who knew if they would have another chance to meet after these people left.
Seizing the opportunity to ask questions is the right approach, even though it carries some risk, in Logo's view, it is within a controllable range.
He is certainly cautious, but when it comes to crucial moments, he will never be timid or hesitant.
"Gendaya? I don't know, what do you want?" A clear, melodious voice, like pearls falling on a jade plate, came from under the cloak. As she looked up, the dark Mist dissipated, and the speaker's face gradually became clear.
This was an extremely beautiful human girl, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a unique floral decoration on her forehead and large, bright, and radiant eyes.
But none of that is the point. The key is that the girl's hair has a flowing silver-white color, as if surrounded by hazy stardust, with a unique spatial rhythm.
What caught Logo's attention most was naturally the girl's blood. Under his Eye of Insight, the silvery-white blood contained an incredible spatial affinity. If the Nirvana Tower was built up from countless spatial resources to become a darling of space, then this girl herself might have possessed a similar talent from birth.
"There is no third eye..." Logo's heart sank, and he almost thought he was mistaken. But soon, after carefully discerning the girl's bloodline aura again through his Eye of Insight, he was convinced that he was right. This girl's bloodline was definitely from the same source as his.
Having confirmed this, Logo asked directly, "I sense a pulse of blood within you. Can you tell me your race?"
As the words fell, the Devil Clan elder's soul-piercing flames slightly condensed, while the girl remained silent for a moment before raising her head, her large eyes filled with deep confusion. "How did you sense it? I clearly have a shielding device on me!"
Upon hearing this, Logo immediately understood that the girl was well aware that his bloodline shared the same origin as hers, and that she had been pretending not to know him before.
"So, our bloodlines do indeed originate from the same source?" Logo's eyes lit up. He had long felt that the Gendaya bloodline was very complex, and he had originally planned to search for the ancestral source after he became stronger, but he never expected to Star Sea Auction.
"Hmm... Since you've discovered it, according to family rules, I don't need to hide it anymore. Come with me..." As she spoke, the mysterious girl turned around, casually found an empty private room, and walked in, her demeanor as relaxed as if she were at home.
These details sparked many associations in Logo. This girl seemed to hold a high position at Star Sea Bank, or perhaps, was she her bloodline?
The group followed them into the private room, closed the door, and the girl glanced at Madison, Crassus, and others. After thinking for a moment, she decided there was no need to hide anything, so she didn't ask anyone to ask them to leave.
With the hood down, the girl's face was fully revealed, and although she was still young, she already exuded a stunning charm.
"Alright, you can ask me anything now! Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself first. My name is Audora Kalenos!"
"Kalenos..." Logo's eyes narrowed, and he immediately recalled the grand voice that had reached his ears when his bloodline clone advanced to High-Rank Transcendent and became Slaughter Knight.
"Kalenos... Origin Blood Demonic Scythe... Supreme Slaughter..."
So, the Slaughter Knight's legacy already contained hints of this?
Why are you pretending not to know me?
"I don't even know you!" The girl frowned, pouted, and glared angrily at Logo. "You're the one who insisted on blocking my way!"
"Uh..." Logo was taken aback. This girl's thought process was a bit strange, kind of silly and cute. Didn't you get my underlying meaning?
I'm asking you, why are you pretending not to recognize my bloodline?
The old Devil Clan beside the girl coughed and said, "Little one, when you talk to Audora, try to be direct. No need for all this beating around the bush..."
The subtext is: This girl is very straightforward; if you speak too subtly, she won't understand!
Logo suddenly realized that he had dealt with many old guys and had indeed been ill-considered in dealing with such an innocent girl. But he also hadn't expected that a Demigod would be so naive.
Yes, this mysterious girl is a Demigod, and not just any ordinary Demigod. According to the Eye of Insight, her danger level is even higher than that of her teacher, Madison, which is simply outrageous.
After understanding the girl's situation, Logo reorganized his thoughts and asked, "I want to ask, do the bloodlines within us both originate from the same source?"
"Yes!" The girl Audora, nodded seriously, then stared intently at Logo with her big, bright eyes, her face full of seriousness.
Logo's lips twitched. "Weren't you going to explain? Why did you only answer with two words?"
Do I really have to ask them one by one?
Crassus and the old devil, along with other onlookers, were already laughing hysterically. The conversation between Logo and Audora gave them the feeling that a creepy uncle was deceiving a little girl, especially since the little girl was rather adorable.
"Phew..." Logo let out a long breath, a kind smile appearing on his lips. Just as he was about to continue asking questions, the girl Audora, immediately took a few steps back warily.
Logo: "??!"
"What's wrong with you...?" He frowned at the girl, completely bewildered. "I was just smiling, why are you reacting so strongly?"
Audora said warily, "Your expression is exactly the same as the one my brother and father had before they beat me up!! I haven't offended you, what do you want?..."
"Pfft, hahaha... I can't hold it in anymore..." Tiffany, the funny one, clutched her stomach and laughed wildly, completely ignoring her boss's increasingly dark expression.
The cunning Logo probably never imagined that one day a few words from a young girl would cause him to have his mentality shattered.
At this moment, Logo really wanted to grab the girl by the collar and roar, "Don't you have any dignity left as Demigod?"
But he couldn't; who knew if the young girl, Audora, would have a stress reaction and kill him on a whim?
However, through Audora's series of reactions, Logo obtained an extremely crucial piece of information.
My own bloodline is probably quite extraordinary!
It's obvious that Audora developed this kind of personality; she must have never suffered any major setbacks, a little princess who grew up pampered from childhood!
If a Demigod could live without worry, one can only imagine what terrifying beings surrounded her in normal times!
There's an even more outrageous guess.
That is, in the eyes of Audora's family, Demigod are all children!
Who would dare to be so arrogant?
Even ordinary gods wouldn't dare!
"Sit down first, I won't hit you. Besides, do you think my little arms and legs can beat you?" Logo said helplessly, rubbing his forehead.
"Huh? That's true, you're so weak, there's no way you could beat me up. You scared me!" Audora patted her little chest and sat back down.
Logo had already adjusted his mindset and was prepared for a protracted battle, slowly and rhythmically posing questions one by one, giving Audora ample time to think.
An hour later, Logo finally understood everything.
"So that's how it is. The Gendaya Tribe's bloodline actually originates from the Legend ' Pureblood Human Race '?"
[Pureblood Human Race], rumored to be the origin of all human bloodlines in the Astral Realm, possessing the purest human bloodline.
Whether this rumor is true or not is highly controversial, but one thing is certain: Pureblood Human Race extremely powerful, with a bloodline rank second only to the God Race.
Simply put, Pureblood Human Race will naturally reach the Peak Demigod level upon reaching adulthood.
Audora is a Pureblood Human Race. According to the calculation method within the Pureblood Human Race, she is only 17 years old. She still needs 3 years to reach the age of 20 and become an adult. However, due to her pure and rich bloodline, she has gained the power of an adult human ahead of time.
In other words, this seemingly naive girl is someone who could easily beat up High-Rank Demigod.
And she's only 17 years old!
Given the long lifespan of Pureblood Human Race, Audora could live for at least another ten million years.
