The time went by, and the auction already went to the twelfth item, but the people present did not feel any boredom, instead, the atmosphere became better and better .
He had to say that the female auction host was very skillful, only in a few words, the atmosphere of the auction house could be mobilized, and she was very good at using her own advantages after a few meaningful glances she could make some of the male mages instantly raise the price of auction items slightly .
Elvis’ goal was to find the item that resonated with him, therefore, even after the twelve items had been auctioned off, no matter how much the female auction host said, he was not the slightest bit tempted .
Li Luo didn’t think too much about it, as he didn’t feel any special reaction toward those three items like Elvis . Moreover, the female auction host on the stage explained every auction item very vividly, and with the support of the special magic in the private room, he could see the items below very clearly . Li Luo observed the item very carefully before once again listened to the explanation of the female auction host, while he was eating, Li Luo talked to Elvis from time to time .
He didn’t know if it was just his illusion, but every time he slightly mentioned about that female auction host, he felt Elvis seemed to become unhappy . Although his face still didn’t show any expressions, the color of his azure eyes became a little deeper, afterward, Li Luo intuitively avoided the topic about the female auction host, only then did he feel that the pressure at his side slightly lowered .
“The next is our twentieth auction item . " The female auction host said with an appropriate smile on her face, then looked to the left . This time only one muscular man pushed a small cart to the front of her, and then the muscular man quickly left the auction stage .
The female auction host walked to the side of the small cart that carried the auction item, stretched out her hand, and slowly uncovered the white cloth on it .
At the same time, Elvis once again felt the blood in his whole body boiling . He all of a sudden sat up straight and gazed down sharply .
Li Luo immediately felt the change in Elvis’ emotions, he also looked fixedly below, “Is it on this cart?"
“En . " Elvis made a simple response, his eyes still looked fixedly at the female auction host’s hand that slowly pulled on the white cloth .
When the white cloth was completely pulled off, what appeared in front of everyone’s eyes, was a magic staff with an exquisite handle that was suitable for females, and placed next to it, was a very simple bracelet, but the style was more suitable for men . Under the illumination of a magic lamp, a circle of faint light seemed to reflect out from it .
“This magic staff, although the three small jewels around the main gem at the peak had been shattered, this magic staff was still a fifth-grade magic staff . Imagine if you were able to repair those, this magic staff could immediately become a sixth-grade magic staff . In addition, we also will give the bracelet on the side as a gift to the guest who wins it over . " As the female auction host spoke, she picked up the bracelet beside magic staff, placing it in her fair palm, then showed it in all directions .
“We will start the price at 30,000 magic stones . "
In fact, when the female auction host said that the broken magic staff was a fifth-grade magic staff, a little commotion immediately rose below .
A high-grade magic staff was very difficult to make, and the success rate was very low .
A fourth-grade magic staff was the dividing line, and refining the first three grades of magic staves was relatively simple . Therefore, most of the magic staves on the market were below the fourth grade, and the fourth grade appeared fewer, and also relatively rare . To see a fourth-grade magic staff or above you would need to look at your luck . If your luck was good, you may be able to buy it, but if your luck wasn’t good, you may not even be able to see its shadow .
Now there was a fifth-grade magic staff, with the possibility of an upgrade to a sixth-grade in the future in front of them . Not only those small number of female mages looked at the magic staff with bright eyes, but even the male mages also looked at the magic staff with desire, even if they couldn’t use it themselves, they could give it to their daughter-in-law as a betrothal gift .
Li Luo looked at the scene below, and suddenly think of one matter, in the original novel, the protagonist came here with Chris . He was still quite poor at that time, so the private room on the second floor was actually booked by Chris, and the protagonist originally only came to accompany Chris, but after seeing the bracelet, the protagonist immediately felt he must have it . After winning it over, Chris took the magic staff, while the protagonist took the bracelet .
Afterward, the protagonist helped Chris repair the magic staff as compensation . Then, when he and Chris were together, he instantly made the magic staff one grade higher for Chris——but these were all floating clouds for Elvis now . So the most important thing now was, how to make Elvis win this magic staff over with his amount of money, not to mention that this time the private room was booked by him, the remaining money was even less .
When Li Luo just thought to here, he heard a crisp and excited female voice from below, “I will pay 50,000 . "
The female voice had not yet fallen before another voice quickly sounded, he said with an overwhelming voice, “I will pay 70,000 . "
Li Luo could not help but start to worry, if the protagonist did not have enough money at the moment, he certainly would be unable to win over this magic staff, then he couldn’t get that bracelet he needed, and wouldn’t storyline of the book quickly distort, and be unable to be fixed, from now on?
“Elvis, do you have enough money?" Li Luo turned his head and asked .
“I still have 200,000 magic stones in savings, and in addition, you also give me a Holy Fruit, that could at least be worth more than 300,000 magic stones, it should be enough . " Elvis did not have the slightest bit of worry, as his azure eyes looked at the noisy scene below, before reaching out his hand and pressed the button next to his chair, then said, “100,000 . "
The sound of Elvis’ voice immediately echoed in the auction’s stage below, even though it was a few degrees lower than his usual voice, it was still very pleasant to hear .
Li Luo quickly closed his eyes and looked at the synopsis of the story, wanting to know how much the final price of the auction was, hopefully, there were not any mishaps that occurred .
Elvis who on the side, did not bid anymore and only looked at the slowly raising prices . The price quickly rose to 200,000 magic stone . However, it still continuously rose at a steady speed, as the voices below became more and more excited .
Li Luo finally flipped over to one section of the synopsis at the current period of time, but because Xiao Qi did not give him the complete plot, only the general storyline . Li Luo did not find the final price of this magic staff even after looking at it several times . Moreover, he had finished writing the novel so long ago and had already long since forgotten the storyline completely .
This plot certainly couldn’t have any mistakes, if they were unable to win over that auction item, who knows whose hands it would fall into, and at that time it would be very difficult to find them in the future, moreover it was unclear if the other would agree to give it, even if they agree, who knows what kind of requirements they would demand .
Li Luo turned his eyes and instantly thought of the ability that he had now, it should also be useful in this case, right?
However, he was embarrassed to say it in front of Elvis .
Li Luo immediately stood up from his seat, and Elvis instantly looked at him, there were clear inquiries in his eyes .
Li Luo waved his arms uncomfortably, and give Elvis an awkward smile, “I ate too much, and I need to walk around the room for a while . " Then he no longer looked into Elvis’ eyes, and directly turned his back, before walking to the corner at his side, he walked along to the other corner following a clockwise motion .
Li Luo slowly walked beside the door of their private room, then quickly turned his head and looked at Elvis’ back, when he found that he didn’t pay attention to him, he immediately sneaked to the corner of the door, before concentrate his mind to using the come true skill, and then whispered, “No matter what happens, these magic things will be bought by Elvis, and that bracelet also will fall into Elvis’ hands . "
......Even though he was speaking in a low voice, somehow he still felt inexplicable shame, what’s wrong with him?!
Fortunately, he was very far, and his voice was so low, so Elvis should not hear it, otherwise, he would instantly turn into cat form and hide from Elvis for a few days .
After Li Luo finished speaking, he stood in the same place for a while, before once again slowly walking around from one corner to the other, behind Elvis’ back, in order to prove the excuse he had just said, he circling a few times more, before sitting back on his seat, at this moment the price had already risen to 380,000 .
When Li Luo sat down, someone added another 40,000 in one breath, making the price change to 420,000 . At this time, the competitors had obviously decreased a lot and it had become the competition for only a few people .
After all, the price had already exceeded the original value of a fifth-grade magic staff .
Elvis now had only left over with a few dozens of thousands of bargaining chips, but his expression still didn’t show any panic and was still the same as before, even his eyes did not flicker a bit .
At this time, Li Luo completely did not feel nervous like just a moment ago, as long as there was no accident, that item below would certainly belong to Elvis, no one could take it .
Elvis pressed the bidding button, before opening his mouth and said, “I will pay 520,000 . " Directly adding 20,000 to the price that the previous person said .
The plump woman in gorgeous garments immediately hesitated to bid again after hearing the price that Elvis’ offered . Not knowing why, when she once again looked at the item on the auction stage, she didn’t really want it . Anyway, there would definitely be something better in the future . After the plump woman thought to this point, she withdrew back her finger from the button next to her seat .
The female auction host that stood on the auction stage waited for a while, seeing no one bid again, she slightly smiled before knocking the table with the small hammer in her hand, “Then this item belongs to the gentleman who bid the last price, by the time when the auction ends, we will have a special staff of our auction house come over to your private room, please be patient . "
After that, the female auction host stepped aside, letting a muscular man push the cart away before continuously said, “Let’s see what the next auction item was..."
A few hours quickly passed, and only until around eight o’clock in the evening, the auctions ended .
After Elvis won that magic staff, he didn’t find anything that made him feel any reaction again so he quickly lost interest in the auction .
When the auction was over, there was a sound of knocking on the door of their private room after a while, Li Luo quickly changed back to cat form, climbed up to Elvis’ thigh and lied down, his two front paws were put together as he turned around and looked at the direction of the door .
The person outside knocked the door a few times, and waiting for a moment, before he opened the door and come in .
The person who came in was a young man with a tray on his hands, his age seemed to be not that old . When he came in, he looked at Elvis’ direction, and politely smiled, “This gentleman, I’m here to send the auction item that you won over, please accept it . " While speaking, the young man walked to Elvis’ side and moved the tray that he held in front of Elvis .
In fact, even without inspection, Elvis already knew that this item was indeed the thing that he wanted . As from the time the young man came in, he quickly felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling up and his heartbeat accelerated two-fold .
Even so, others could not see any change in his emotions from his face, but the color of his eyes slightly changed, if you didn’t carefully look at them, or you were of the people who were unfamiliar with him, you absolutely couldn’t see it .
Elvis directly placed the storage bag that contained all of his savings and the holy fruit that Li Luo had given him, into the tray that the young man’s holding .
The young man checked the content of storage bag and found that there were only 200,000 magic stones, then he looked at the jade white fruit on the other side, “Guest, you only handed over 200,000, this is?"
Elvis: “This is the other portion of my payment . "
The young man didn’t ask anything more, he nodded and said, “Please wait for a moment . " Then quickly placed the auction item on the table at the side, took the things that Elvis gave, and went out .
Elvis was still sitting in the same position, he knew that he couldn’t walk away now . Only when the young man came back and determined that the things he gave could pay the bill, he was able to leave the room, as a result, the young man was not afraid to directly put the auction item here .
