Chapter 8 The Alchemist's Dream

Among the guests below the private room, what no one has noticed is that since the first work of the alchemist master came to the stage, the red-robed shepherd leader of the Sun God Dynasty and Norman who have been sitting in the two boxes above The face of the general of the empire became serious.

It seemed to be a little nervous. He obviously pays more attention to every item auctioned in the following auction, especially those works made by alchemists.

Not only the people in the private room, but even the guests below, many people have begun to be surprised. I don't know why, but there seem to be a little more works of alchemists in today's auction. You must know that in previous years, the works of alchemists were basically hard to come by. What happened this year? Who has such a big name? How can you take out so many things at once?

Zhang Tie flipped through the auction manual. Among the catalog pages of this manual, the introduction of those auctioned items from the alchemist was the simplest.

——In this auction, there are also several works of alchemy masters participating in the auction. Since the consignor requested to keep the auction items confidential before the official auction, they will not be introduced here, so stay tuned.

After the sunstone necklace, several works of alchemists appeared on the stage.

The second work of the master alchemist is a patoite ring that can strengthen the dual effects of calmness and quick thinking on people. This kind of ring is the favorite of almost all battlefield commanders and occupations related to intelligence. This ring is known as 9 Buy it at the price of ten thousand gold coins.

The third work of the master alchemist is a pair of sky-iron earrings. The effect of this pair of sky-iron earrings is to allow people to calm down when practicing kung fu, quickly enter the samadhi, and reduce the chance of being possessed by fire by half. This thing is also a cultivator. In the end, it was bought for 52,600 gold coins.

The fourth work of the master alchemist is a lapis lazuli forehead ornament. Its function is to nourish the spiritual power, make people's spiritual power more agile, and increase people's perception ability. This forehead ornament, which can exert effects on mental power and enhance people's perception, once again created a sky-high price at the auction, 62,800 gold coins.

When this lapis lazuli forehead ornament appeared on the stage, the atmosphere in the entire venue was already sensational. No one would have imagined that at this winter auction held by Sols Auction House, they would be able to see four alchemy pieces at once. Master's works, in the past, it would be nice to have one or two such works. What happened this year? And what's even more strange is that the styles of these works feel like they are all for women, and they vaguely seem to be a set.

Impossible, even the queen of the Norman Empire would never have such an exaggerated handwriting, to be able to own such a set of priceless jewelry made by a master alchemist - many people who participated in the auction secretly said in their hearts.

Even Zhang Tie seemed to feel that something was wrong with this auction at this time, an undercurrent and restlessness was quietly surging, and when this undercurrent reflected on people's emotions, it was when the auctioneer said When the name of the next auction item was announced, many people in the seats stood up in shock, and the entire venue let out a collective gasp.

"The next item that will be on the stage is also the work of a master alchemist. This is a pair of bracelets that have inspired all the special abilities of garnet. The efficacy of this bracelet is definitely the favorite of all ladies who love beauty. It has The effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin can improve the skin quality, increase the vitality of the body, and is also beneficial to the health of the female reproductive system and related organs..."

Zhang Tie's eyes fell on the projection wall behind the auction table following the words of the auctioneer, and the picture of the pair of garnet bracelets was magnified many times and appeared there, allowing more people to see the bracelets clearly on the details.

In Zhang Tie's eyes, it was a pair of garnet bracelets, but it was not a pair of garnet bracelets. The pair of bracelets had a garnet reddish-purple brilliance and looked exactly the same as garnets. On the surface of the garnet, if you look carefully, there are actually some mysterious small patterns that come out from the inside of the garnet. This is a pattern that Zhang Tie cannot see on all other garnets. If this pair of bracelets is not big enough, those It is almost impossible to see the tiny mysterious patterns in Zhang Tie's position.

Could that be the trace left by the alchemists' ability to open and activate this stone? This seems to be the only difference in appearance between this pair of garnet bracelets and those that can be bought with a dozen silver coins. Of course, the brilliance of this pair of garnet bracelets seems to be brighter. Zhang Tie guessed secretly.

He guessed right.

"You can see that three stone flowers have been successfully inspired by the master alchemist on this pair of garnet bracelets. These three stone flowers represent the activation of the three characteristics and abilities of garnet. This is The first auction item in this auction has three attributes. It may not be used for fighting and cultivation, but it can make a woman's beauty more durable and healthier. Therefore, the starting price of this pair of bracelets It's 38,000 gold coins, and each price increase is no less than..."

Before the auctioneer finished speaking, a person sitting in the second row in front of Zhang Tie couldn't help but make an offer, "I'll offer 50,000 gold coins!"

"Do you want to take this pair of bracelets for 50,000 gold coins? I will offer 55,000 gold coins!"

"I offer 56,000 gold coins!"

"58,000 gold coins..."

"60,000 gold coins..."

The price of the pair of garnet bracelets soared to more than 70,000 gold coins in a short time. At this price, many people who had just started bidding backed down, but there were still a few wealthy and powerful guests vying for each other. .

In Chinese idioms, there is an allusion called touch stone into gold, which is a method only available to gods in Chinese myths and legends, but at this moment, watching the originally inexpensive garnet suddenly become a relatively expensive stone. Gold with the same weight is worth tens of thousands of times more. At this moment, even using the phrase "turning stone into gold" is far from enough.

Zhang Tie sat in his seat, and every time he heard a quotation, his body trembled a little involuntarily. This was not fear, but excitement, excitement, or excitement that Zhang Tie didn't know...

"I'll offer 100,000 gold coins!" A person sitting in the first row of the auction suddenly stood up and said loudly. After quoting the price, the person lifted his cloak and hood, took off the bronze mask on his face and turned around. Come on, showing a face of a woman in her forties who still has a charming face. This woman has a pink face and peach cheeks, and her eyes are long and curved. She seems to have a sharp evil spirit in her mature coquettishness. She stares at everyone behind her. The guest smiled, but the words he said were a little aggressive, "I'm going to order this pair of bracelets, I'll see who wants to snatch it from me..."

"Black Widow!" The guests behind took a breath, and someone murmured.

There was a moment of silence at the auction.

Zhang Tie doesn't know who the black widow is, but looking at this woman, it seems that many people know her identity, and this woman seems to be very scary. At least at this time, no one seems to be willing to spend more than 100,000 gold coins , buy a pair of bracelets, and offend this woman by the way.

Seeing that no one in the venue said anything, the woman turned her head and looked at the auctioneer without saying a word. The auctioneer on the stage with a small hammer swallowed, "Now someone is offering a price of 100,000 gold coins. Is there a higher price? Is there a higher one?" High, no? Then three, two, one, deal!"

The small hammer slammed down, and the woman named Black Widow sat down again, and a small bead of sweat appeared on the forehead of the auctioneer on the stage.

"Below, here is the last item in this auction from the hands of a master alchemist..."

As the auctioneer said, the people below were suddenly in an uproar.

"What, there are also lots from the hands of the master alchemist. Is this Sols's winter auction a special sale for alchemists?"

"Impossible, it's already the sixth item. Even in other larger auctions, it's rare that so many alchemy items appear at one time!"

"I knew that there would be so many alchemy items this time. According to the rules, the Sols Auction House should have notified us at least one month in advance so that we could raise funds. There was no news about this surprise attack before the auction. , What does this mean?" Many people clamored dissatisfiedly, pointing their fingers at the auction house.

"If I had known the news a month earlier, I would never let go of that patoite ring just now!"

"Souls Auction House must give us an explanation!"

"We need an explanation!"

Zhang Tie looked at the suddenly noisy auction venue with great interest. Even two people beside him stood up excitedly and shouted loudly. These dissatisfied people were blaming Sols Auction House for not following the rules. The auction house's obligation to inform them even caught them off guard at the auction. The transaction of those alchemy items costs tens of thousands of gold coins, and the highest has soared to 100,000 gold coins. This amount of money is not a small amount for anyone. For some people participating in the auction, if they don’t have the time To prepare, it is also a problem to spend such a large amount of money in a hurry.

The auctioneer on the stage was quite embarrassed, unable to cope with so many accusations at all. Just when the crowd was getting more and more excited, and it seemed that the entire auction would not be able to continue, an old man in his 60s suddenly appeared on the auction stage superior.

As soon as the old man appeared on the auction stage, the auctioneer hurriedly retreated to the backstage as if he had received an amnesty. At the same time, Zhang Tie also noticed that even though the auction venue was a bit out of order, from beginning to end, the people sitting in the upstairs box Neither the representatives of the Sun God Dynasty nor the Norman Empire expressed anything.

"Everyone..." As soon as the old man came out and looked around, the excited and dissatisfied crowd suddenly quieted down a lot. Many people seemed to know who this old man was. I deeply regret the trouble this auction will bring to everyone, but at the same time, I have to tell you honestly that as the organizer of the auction, we know that there will be a batch of alchemy items participating in the auction. It was a day ago, at this time, there was no time to inform everyone, and only ten minutes before the auction started this morning, this batch of alchemy items was escorted to the auction house, and we didn't know exactly what the batch of alchemy items were. What is it, we are also shocked by this, and at the same time, we cannot refuse the confidentiality request made by the owners of these alchemy items!"

"Who is it?" A hoarse voice from the seat below echoed under the brass mask, "Who is the entrusted auctioneer for this batch of alchemy items? For Sols Auction House, this The request and attitude are almost rude, we want to know whose request the Sols Merchant Group cannot refuse?"

The old man standing on the auction stage took a deep breath, "It is the Salindor family who entrusted Sols Auction House to auction the previous alchemy items, including the last pair of alchemy items!"

The whole meeting place fell silent in an instant. The Celindor family is also the famous Iron Gate family, the ruling family of Karur City. It can be said that the entire Karur can have the scale it is today, which can be said to be the same as the entire Iron Gate family for several generations. People's painstaking efforts are inseparable. The "Iron Gate T21" brought by Fatty Barry during Zhang Tie's trial was produced by the Celine Doll family. manufacturer. Compared with this family, Gregory and other families in Heiyan City are completely upstarts in the countryside.

For some reason, Zhang Tie at this time had already vaguely sensed that something big was going to happen at today's auction.

"If you have no doubts, then we will conduct the auction of the last alchemy item today, because this last alchemy item is extraordinary, and there has never been an auction of such an item in the history of Sols Auction House. Maybe you have never really seen such a thing so close, so when this thing comes out in a while, please keep calm, don't panic, and don't try to come up to watch or touch curiously, in order to avoid some unnecessary Trouble and danger, we will take some measures for this, please understand!" After the old man finished speaking, he clapped his palms, and immediately, a group of fully armed soldiers came out from the backstage of the auction platform, one by one applying for solemn They surrounded the auction platform, basically isolating the auction platform from the guests below.

After the team of soldiers finished their security guards, two men wearing white gloves came up from the backstage, each carrying a silver metal suitcase, and then carefully placed the suitcase on the auction stage. On the cabinet, carefully open the suitcase, and adjust an item in the suitcase from a horizontal position to an upright position so that everyone can see clearly.

At the same time, the projector on the auction platform has displayed the images of these two items in a clearer and larger picture.

Judging from the appearance, those two things are completely two huge "ostrich eggs" made of some strange material. No one knows what this thing is, at least Zhang Tie was completely confused when he looked at the two "ostrich eggs". He couldn't figure out what these two things were. thing.

Among all the people, only the two officers of the Helios Dynasty and the representatives of the Norman Empire who were sitting in the private room upstairs changed their expressions when they saw the two "ostrich eggs", and then they each talked with the general (red) next to them. Pao Da Shepherd) bowed his head and said something.

"Everyone should have heard of these two things, especially in the recent period. In this war, the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire surrendered one and two such things in each other's cities respectively. !" The old man on the stage said softly, and then the audience was quiet for a while, and then the pot was fried instantly.

"What? Are you saying that these two are alchemy bombs? The only hot weapons in the Iron Age!"

A voice yelled, and everyone was startled, even Zhang Tie's eyes widened.

"Yes, these two things are two bombs made by alchemists, the only hot weapons in the Black Iron Age, and also the last alchemy item in today's auction. Up to now, the alchemists of the Sun God Dynasty can The explosive equivalent of the most powerful alchemy bomb manufactured is 350 kg of TNT level, and the explosive equivalent of the most powerful alchemical bomb that the alchemists of the Norman Empire can manufacture is 500 kg of TNT level, and the explosive equivalent of these two bombs , are equivalent to the explosion scale of a ton of TNT..."

Having said that, the person in charge of the Sols Merchant Group on the stage smiled wryly, and spread his hands, "Don't ask me what the explosive equivalent is, how many kilograms, what does the TNT level mean, I don't understand this, this vocabulary, It is a professional term used by alchemists to measure the power of alchemy bombs. This term comes from before the cataclysm, and there are very strict criteria for judging it. I am just following the scriptures here. I also asked someone else, and that person told me that if such a bomb explodes in the auction house at this moment, then the entire auction house and Sols Hotel above the auction house, including our place and all the hotels in the hotel People will be destroyed by bombs!"

Hearing such words, the hearts of everyone, including Zhang Tie, trembled.

The person in charge of the Sols Merchant Group on the auction stage looked around for a week, "The starting price for each of these two bombs is one gold coin, and the bids from two people can be accepted at the same time. Now everyone can bid..."

a gold coin? A terrifying alchemy bomb?

Is this a joke? You may not be able to find a place to buy such a terrifying weapon with 100,000 gold coins, because all bombs are strategic weapons in the hands of the country and powerful forces, and it is almost impossible for anyone to sell them, let alone a gold coin You can buy it. One of the most frightening and awe-inspiring aspects of an alchemist is that in this era, only alchemists possess such terrifying killing weapons that hardly belong to this era.

Almost none of the people who were able to participate in the auction here were idiots. Almost instantly, everyone understood why they saw representatives of the Norman Empire and the Sun God Dynasty here today, and why such an alchemy bomb Two appeared at once?

"I'll give you a gold coin!"

"I'll give you a gold coin!"

When the entire auction hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard, two voices came from the two boxes upstairs. Except for these two voices, no one in the auction house dared to bid again at this time, even those who just now clamored that they had not prepared enough money and missed the alchemy items, all of them were as quiet as stones, as if completely I didn't see the "big bargain" in front of me.

"One gold coin, one gold coin, two people have already bid, is there a higher one, no, that's good, deal!"

The auction hammer came down with a louder sound than ever, like a lonely applause after an actor's lonely performance on a theater stage.

The people in the box upstairs had already come down by this time. "We need to inspect something?" The red-robed shepherd leader of the Sun God Dynasty, who was holding a golden scepter with an indifferent face just now, his face was as black as a piece of coal. A careful person can even see The fingers of the red-robed shepherd holding the golden scepter were too hard, and the knuckles were a little white.

"Yes!" The person in charge of the Sols Merchant Group on the stage nodded, and the soldiers surrounding the auction stage made a gap.

An officer of the Sun God Dynasty walked over, and the general of the Norman Empire nodded to an officer next to him, and the officer of the Norman Empire followed suit.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two military officers who came up to the stage checked the contents of a silver suitcase. Within half a minute, the two serious-looking military officers looked at the red-robed shepherd and the leader of the Sun God Dynasty. The general of the Norman Empire nodded, and after each left a gold coin, he carefully put away the bomb and walked off the auction stage with a suitcase.

Representatives of the Helios dynasty and the Norman Empire then left.

In the auction house, the eyes of all the guests were focused on the person in charge of the Sols Merchant Group standing on the auction stage. At this time, even Zhang Tie understood that this auction was for Seth The Lyndor family is a prop to publicly convey a certain message and show their strength to the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire.

What happened in the auction house just now was not a simple auction, but a major event that could affect the situation in the Karur region and the progress of the war between the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire. There are two key information points for this major event. The first information point is that the Celine Dor family has already obtained the support of a certain alchemist.

The second point of information, the ability of that master alchemist is far above the top alchemists in the Norman Empire and the Sun God Dynasty.

Everyone looked at the person on the auction stage, waiting for that person to say something. Even as a silent prop and a witness, everyone has the right to know something.

As expected, facing everyone's expectant eyes, the person in charge of Sols Merchant Group finally announced a piece of news.

"The Iron Gate family will announce today that the next patriarch of their family will be Alexia Serendole. The day before, Alexia Serendole, who was still studying in the Eastern Continent, had already Married to a master alchemist, everything in the Tiemen family, including Karur City, will be under the protection of that master alchemist from today onwards. The alchemy items that were auctioned at the auction just now are the A small gift from the master to the Tiemen family..."

The entire auction house fell silent again.

After a long time, someone among the guests sighed faintly, "The war between the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire around Karur is almost coming to an end!"

...

At this moment in Zhang Tie, the voice in his heart and the desire in his mind became extremely clear.

This is a dream, a dream that Zhang Tie longs to become for the first time at such an age, a dream that makes Zhang Tie's blood boil when he thinks about it.

The Zhang Tie in his dream possesses a more cool ability than turning stone into gold.

One person can save a city...

One person can change a war...

A person can become the greatest reliance and glory of everyone around him...

...

The auction was still going on, and in the subsequent auction, Zhang Tie's ring of vitality was finally auctioned off at a price of 21,600 gold coins. All of a sudden, Zhang Tie's pocket bulged up.

Just after Zhang Tie's ring was auctioned, a line of words appeared in Zhang Tie's mind.

——The generation of the black iron castle space intelligence is completed, the black iron castle management template has completed the first intelligent upgrade, the master of the castle and the black iron castle use the space gate to establish a cross-plane mental power connection and interaction mode...

With the end of the last sentence, Zhang Tie felt the spiritual power in his sea of ​​consciousness shake, and a large amount of spiritual power began to flow to the magical arch in his mind. At this moment, the magical arch is completely like Like a water-absorbing sponge, it continuously absorbed his mental power. In less than a minute, only a thin trace of mental power remained in Zhang Tie's mind, which was almost wiped out. Drain completely.

When Zhang Tie's mental power was almost completely exhausted, the magical arch shook slightly, and the color of the arch suddenly became green and full of vitality during this process.

The process of quickly absorbing mental power was not a comfortable thing for Zhang Tie. In just one minute, Zhang Tie had a splitting headache and felt a sense of collapse. But in the end, after entering and exiting the black iron After the color of the magic arch of the fort changed, Zhang Tie felt that he had established a deeper and closer connection with the Black Iron Fort.

In the past, the Black Iron Fortress felt as if it was separated from me by a gate, in two completely different worlds, and only after I opened the door, could I feel what was inside, but at this moment, that gate seemed to have disappeared, The entire Black Iron Castle, on the level of spiritual perception, seems to be integrated with itself...

...
