Chapter 539 Participation Is the Most Important

"The guards didn't notice at all." Qian Yan calmly monitored the direction of the aisle and said, "It seems we guessed it right."

If the opponent can detect the fluctuation of magic power or energy, then put the fluctuation link before entering the Holy Palace - this is the countermeasure that Xia Fan came up with. Li completed his transformation early and curled up on top of Qian Yan's head. Qian Yan's clothes were also carefully selected. The fluffy skirt and wide hat looked perfect together, but few people would have thought that there was a secret hidden in the hat.

The demon will only cause changes in Qi at the moment of transformation, and then it will only steadily consume the Qi contained in the body.

"How long can you probably maintain your form?" Xia Fan asked.

"At least an hour." Li replied.

Since the cooperation with La Sein is limited to money and interest transactions, Xia Fan does not intend to reveal too much to the other party. Li completed the transformation as soon as he left the house, and has been in hiding since then. Even Lasein had no idea about it. Although this can greatly improve the concealment of actions, it will also put the fox demon in a state of continuous consumption.

"One hour should be enough." Xia Fan took out a portable audio device from his pocket and tied it to Li's back. Since there is no long enough antenna, its communication range is only about three or four miles, and the communication may be detected by guards, so it is more of an emergency item.

After doing this, he stretched out his hand in front of Li.

Li sniffed and memorized Achie's scent.

"How about it?"

"Although I can't match Shanhui in searching for scents, I should be able to detect it as long as it appears within ten steps of me."

Xia Fan nodded. Ten steps was not long, but it was enough.

After all, what Li is looking for is not some small thing, but the room where Achie Lumen lives.

According to Lassein's information, this person is a frequent visitor to the Holy Palace auctions and has considerable financial resources. It is not unusual for him to be assigned a good room. The key is that people are creatures of habit. It is obviously not as good as assigning a set of rooms to be assigned a new room by the housekeeper every time you visit. So Xia Fan boldly speculated that there were rooms with a higher level than the upper room in the Holy Palace, and they were basically one-person rooms to satisfy distinguished guests like Achie.

Later, he also confirmed something from Lasein. Except at auctions, few people could confirm Achie's whereabouts at other times.

The rooms in St. Blainey's Palace are similar to private lounges, open only to members of the auction house. If such a room can be fixed, the occupants can easily leave some personal belongings in it. Through them, you may be able to find something different.

Even if you get nothing, you don’t have to pay too much.

With Li's size and skill, it can be said that it would be difficult for the guards to catch him.

"Then go ahead and pay attention to safety." Xia Fan finally warned.

The fox demon jumped up and disappeared into the shadow of the roof beam.

"Let's go back to the auction hall too."

Their position is also at the front, only two blocks away from the first row, where they can clearly see the objects photographed on the stage.

"What did you just do?" Lassein said casually, "The auction will start soon."

"I just went for a walk. The air here is stuffy."

"It's probably because of the tobacco leaves." The defense officer expressed understanding. "This stuff is spicy and choking, and I don't know what it's good to smoke. I'm afraid only humans like this kind of self-torture."

Of course Xia Fan would not correct Brother Crack Ya's "automatic explanation". At this moment, the auction officially began.

The host was a young man. He walked up to the stage and after giving a fixed welcome speech, he unveiled the red cloth covering the exhibition table.

The first auction item was a gold lamp - judging from its quality, it was obviously an antique.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what you see in front of you comes from the Dusk Sea, which is an unfamiliar sea area that does not even have a complete chart. The current range that the expedition team can reach is concentrated on the edge of the Dusk Sea. But - these The brave man blessed by luck found this golden lamp in a coral reef! Who made it and who abandoned it are all unsolved mysteries. Is there anyone who reached that sea area before us? The time is hundreds of years in the morning?”

I have to say that the host is quite experienced. In just a few words, he raised the mystery of Jinzhan to a higher level, making an ordinary ancient object instantly connect with an amazing lost civilization.

"The starting price for item No. 1 is now 500 gold karens, please bid on it if you are interested!"

Xia Fan was the first to hold up the red card on his left hand side.

"Okay! Someone has already bid five hundred!" the host said loudly.

Lassein glanced at him in surprise, "Are you sure you want to buy this?"

"Of course not, I just want to experience the feeling of bidding." Xia Fan replied seriously. This is his first time participating in an auction, and of course he has to unlock a few more life achievements. "I can't be the only one shouting anyway, right? I won't follow whoever raises the price later."

However, there was no second person on the court to raise a placard.

"No one is bidding anymore? Does anyone still want the golden lamp from the mysterious ancient country?" the host asked while picking up the gavel.

Xia Fan was immediately dumbfounded.

"Is this thing a fake?"

"That's not the case." Lassein said with a half-smile, "Anything that can be put here cannot have its origin or quality fabricated. For the top auction, reputation is the most important thing. So it does come from the Morning and Dusk Sea, and it is indeed possible that it is connected to an epic history." He deliberately emphasized the word "possible". "Putting it at home as a display can also improve the taste of the mansion to some extent."

"Why is no one interested?" Olina seemed more anxious than Xia Fan.

"Because this is the number one item." Lassein shrugged. "According to convention, the good things in the auction are all at the end. For truly powerful buyers, they have no shortage of such ancient artifacts that may have some stories. And those who are waiting to pick up bargains are even less likely to invest their limited funds in such things."

This is very embarrassing.

If five hundred gold cohens were placed in Jinxia City, it would be just a small expense, but now it is in the West Pole, the ship has limited load capacity, and the silver taels carried are only so much. It is really heartbreaking to lose a few thousand taels for no reason.

Xia Fan could only silently comfort himself that it was at least not a fake.

"Three, two... Oh? There's a new bid!" The host's voice suddenly raised, "Seven hundred - currently seven hundred gold kern!"

The price increase system adopted here is 258. Each time a red card is raised, the corresponding fixed value will be raised on the basis of the base price. For Jinzhan, it is two hundred gold kern.

Xia Fan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned his head to look at the person holding the sign and found that the other party was sitting quite far back, most of his body was covered by the shadow of the hall, and his face was wearing a creepy smiley mask.
