Chapter 1402 Eye of Truth

……

"How many good things there are, the black market has not announced, this is also a business strategy of this black market."

Appraiser Zoe led Wang Yan and his party to the inside of the auction house with ease, while explaining to Wang Yan and others.

This underground black market sometimes publicizes the auction items, but sometimes it also deliberately makes a mystery to attract more tourists to visit and consume in their black market, thereby driving the sales of other goods.

Wang Yan and his party have seen a lot of this, and they are not surprised. Soon, under the leadership of Zoe, they walked through the hall and entered the No. 1 Hall of the auction house.

This auction hall is the core venue of the auction house. It is like a fan-shaped theater. The area is very large and can accommodate thousands of people.

At this time, the auction has not started yet, but this hall has been crowded.

These buyers who participated in the auction were both local and foreign. Among them were various kinds of luxuriously dressed businessmen and local tyrants, as well as high-ranking nobles with many servants. Even the guards of the Red Demon King, Wang Yan saw two.

The two guards of the Demon King, with several guards, occupied the VIP seats on the other side from a distance.

Seeing Wang Yan and others coming, he immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Wang Yan and Princess Chijue, then took a deep look at Zoe, the appraiser who was accompanying him, and then sat down again.

Wang Yan was a little surprised to see the two demon king guards.

But on second thought, these demon king guards have all gone through hardships and dangers, and have struggled to climb up to the legendary level of demon generals from the masses. They are all very combat-capable and should not be underestimated. If it weren't for their background, they might be lords of a region.

They are naturally unwilling to be just a small general for their whole lives. It is normal to visit auctions occasionally and buy one or two treasures to improve their strength.

Without thinking any more, Wang Yan and others walked through the crowd and sat down in the VIP seats in the front row.

This is a semi-enclosed special seat, occupying the front row of the venue, spacious and comfortable, with a circular sofa and a low table, enough for an upper-class noble to sit in with his family.

Due to Wang Yan's current reputation and the identity of the Princess of Chijue, Wang Yan's VIP seat is naturally the closest and best seat in front of the auction venue.

Not long after Wang Yan and others took their seats, the auction began.

The first person to appear was a sexy female bidder, a female Purgatory Demon with revealing clothes and enchanting posture.

She stood in the center of the circular booth and began to introduce one auction item after another in a charming and seductive tone, which was considered a warm-up for the next auction.

This female Purgatory Demon has an outstanding temperament, a lazy and numb voice, and some sexy and seductive eyes. A few words can make the male buyers in the venue excited and scream.

The buyers who come here to participate in the auction are different from ordinary tourists in the upper free market. These dignitaries are not short of money, so a very ordinary item can often be raised to a very high price in the hands of this woman.

For example, a small item worth hundreds of gold coins can be multiplied several times in the hands of this female bidder.

An item worth only two or three magic crystal coins was sold at a time because some wealthy people at the scene were willing to bid several coins at a time in order to make this beauty smile.

As the rich people started to make noise and the beautiful auctioneers started to chat and laugh, the atmosphere at the scene began to gradually heat up.

Almost everyone was eager to try, and they were full of the urge to shout out the price and buy one or two items.

Even Lord Chihuo, who had just got a few magic crystal coins in his hand, began to feel itchy and wanted to show off in front of the beautiful auctioneers.

However, this idea was soon extinguished under the suppression and ridicule of his sister, Princess Chijue.

"Lord Moyan, don't worry. The items being auctioned now are not valuable. None of them are worthy of your status." Appraiser Zoe served beside him with a smile, as if Lord Chihuo's inexperienced and excited look made her laugh.

Because of her presence, no matter what it is, as long as it comes out, she only needs to take a look to tell Wang Yan and others the detailed data of the item, as well as its approximate historical origin and corresponding price, without the need for the auctioneer on the stage to introduce it.

Of course, as a tour guide, her actions are detrimental to the interests of the black market and violate the regulations of the black market. However, after she became familiar with Wang Yan and others, she had a good impression of them. In addition, Wang Yan also used a little trick around to isolate the spread of sound, so she boldly told Wang Yan and others the truth one by one.

Most of the things being auctioned now are some magic items, or things used by some celebrities. These things sound good, but they don’t have much practical value for Wang Yan.

Wang Yan is not very interested in these things, and so are many people at the scene. They are all waiting quietly, because the real good things are still behind.

In this way, about an hour later, the female auctioneer finally left after auctioning more than ten items passionately.

Then a middle-aged male auctioneer, who was dressed meticulously, walked up slowly, accompanied by a maid carrying a tray covered with red gauze.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Many people who knew the goods understood that the real auction was about to begin.

"Dear friends, the auction will start with the sixteenth item." The middle-aged auctioneer cleared his throat and slowly pulled open the red gauze covering the tray.

As the red gauze on the tray left, a palm-sized metal product that looked like a small pyramid slowly appeared in front of people.

"The sixteenth item of this auction is the classic handed-down holy object from the hands of the famous alchemist Erhaus during the ancient war period, the Eye of Truth!"

As soon as the middle-aged auctioneer finished speaking, there was an exclamation at the scene.

"Handed-down holy object? Is that the holy object you mentioned?" Wang Yan's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he immediately turned to look at Zoe, the appraiser beside him.

He just saw this item lying quietly on the tray, and he was quite concerned.

The metal product that looked like a small pyramid did not look gorgeous at first glance. On the contrary, it looked a bit old, and the surface metal had already turned dark gold after oxidation. That is, the three triangular faces were engraved with three eye-shaped runes that were similar but different.

This thing might only look a little special in this respect, but Wang Yan couldn't recognize what kind of rune it was.

If the auctioneer hadn't said the name of the item, and the audience hadn't reacted so strongly, Wang Yan and the others might have only regarded it as an old antique totem even if they had gotten it.
