Chapter 641 Star Stone

In the huge venue, there was silence.

"It's just us?" Enzo looked around and found that there was no one in the audience, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"of course not."

Curtis shook his head and said, "This dimensional space is an auction house specially prepared for congressmen in the North. In order to respect personal privacy, each congressman will be in an independent space when entering here."

A thoughtful expression appeared on Enzo's face.

He probably understood what Curtis meant. This dimensional space should have independent rules. It seemed to be in the same space, but every congressman who entered here was in an independent area.

The surrounding auditorium is a private venue for each member of Parliament.

Only the central high platform is shared by everyone. After the auction begins, the members auction items one by one.

"Be patient."

Curtis said, "At this stage, the Faceless Men are communicating with the councillors, collecting items that need to be bid. In up to two hours, the auction will begin. If you have any items that need to be sold, you can also hand them in." To the Faceless Ones.”

Enzo thought for a moment and nodded.

Then, he summoned the Faceless Man and handed the sealing ball to him, while at the same time taking out a burning heart from the space ring.

"Heart of Balor's Fire Demon?"

A trace of surprise appeared on Curtis's face, and he said in surprise: "This is a good thing. Where did you get it from?"

"It's just a fluke." Enzo said nothing more.

This heart of the Balor Fire Demon was a trophy when he went to the Lost Continent. At that time, in the Kingdom of God in the Lost Continent, he killed a Balor Fire Demon and collected its body.

Balor Balrog is a lord-level demon.

Of the whole body, only this heart was the most valuable. As for the other things, Enzo had already used them in experiments.

"Sigh! What a pity."

Curtis shook his head and said, "This kind of precious material should be able to be bought for a big price at a century-old auction. This kind of annual auction is essentially just an exchange meeting between parliamentarians."

"Those big figures like the Speaker will basically not participate."

Enzo nodded with a thoughtful look on his face. After being promoted to the fourth-level All Souls Wizard, he needed some star stones as trading currency. He originally planned to throw the newly captured Hungry God to the auction.

It seems unnecessary now.

According to Curtis, most of the participants in the annual auction are fourth-level all-spiritual wizards. Speaker-level figures above fifth level will not easily appear at an auction of this level.

"In that case, let's do these." Enzo nodded.

The purpose of participating in this auction is mainly to see the world and exchange for some star stones as basic wealth.

The Faceless Man disappeared after taking away the auction items from Curtis and Enzo.

A few more hours passed.

The surrounding space suddenly became distorted, Curtis' face was calm, the sky gradually fell into darkness, and the stars lit up like lights.

"It's about to begin." Curtis said.

On the high platform in the center of the auction room, a huge silver scale appeared, with a ghostly figure floating on it, as if it was imprisoned.

"Is this?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.

"Equivalent to a scale."

Curtis saw Enzo's doubts and took the initiative to explain: "In the first era of the era when the gods ruled, the monetary system of human society was not perfect enough, so the God of Libra was born."

"That God of Libra is just a weak god."

"The true combat power is not even up to the level of a fourth-level life form, but it is indeed a god. It is said that it is a soul that comes from nowhere and was promoted to a god after accidentally receiving the divine fire."

"The God of Libra is weak in combat power, but he symbolizes fairness in transactions."

"Therefore, as soon as the concept of trading emerged in human society, the God of Libra began to absorb the power of faith and punish those profiteers who used bad means in transactions. Although he did not establish a church, he was respected by people."

"Until later, the age of the gods ended."

"The God of Libra, who has weak divine power, hid during the invasion of the abyssal demons, so he did not participate in the battle of Paradise Mountain. After the rise of the wizard civilization, a god hunting operation was launched, and the God of Libra was also capture."

"However, this God of Libra has a peaceful personality."

"There is almost no threat to the wizarding civilization. In addition, the God of Libra actively chose to surrender. The parliament retained his self-will and just branded him to serve the wizarding civilization."

"The God of Libra gladly accepts this."

"Although he is just a weak god, the God of the Scales has his own authority. He can measure the value of items and attach divine power to the scales for wizards to exchange items of equal value."

Curtis slowly and briefly told the story of the God of the Scales.

Enzo looked thoughtful, and he immediately understood that the scale in the center of the auction house should be a scale with the power of the God of the Scales, which could measure the value of items.

"It's true that anything can become a god!" Enzo couldn't help but complain.

"Ha, don't underestimate the God of Libra."

Curtis chuckled and said, "In the multiverse, there are all kinds of gods. Each god has its own authority. Although the God of Libra is extremely weak in combat power, he is an absolutely fair existence."

Enzo nodded and agreed.

At the same time, he also learned more about the gods. After the end of the Age of Gods, wizards started the God Hunting Operation and hunted gods in the wizard world. Many gods who dared to resist eventually died, but beings like the God of Libra and the Goddess of the Springs survived because they chose to surrender.

"He who knows the times is a hero."

Such a sentence suddenly emerged in Enzo's mind. No one can change the direction of the times, but when faced with a choice, you need to weigh the pros and cons.

The rise of wizard civilization is unstoppable.

Those fallen gods in ancient times ended up miserably because they could not see this clearly. If they could make the right choice, they might also get the eternal loss of freedom like the God of Libra.

Just as Enzo was thinking, the auction had already begun.

"Follow the principle of equivalent exchange, the trade will start now!"

A gentle voice came from the scales in the center of the auction house, and then two faceless people appeared in front with a shield.

Bang!

The bronze shield was thrown on the left side of the scale and immediately fell to the bottom.

"What does this mean?" Enzo asked.

"This is the way of the auction."

Curtis explained: "The parliamentarians throw the auction items onto the scale. If someone wants to buy, they can throw the items to the other side until the scale is completely equal, which means the transaction is completed."

Enzo raised his eyebrows and felt a little surprised.

As the center of power in the Northern Continent, the Northern Parliament actually used such a primitive method for the auction. Although it followed the principle of equal exchange, it did not seem to be absolutely fair, because the value of each item was different for different people.

At the same time, the faceless man on the high platform also began to introduce the properties of the shield.

It was a shield of holy quality, which was made by a fourth-level wizard for fifty years. It could withstand the attacks of third-level wizards, but if the enemy was fourth-level, it could only withstand a few times.

"Useless items." Curtis said disdainfully.

Enzo also nodded. The annual auction was essentially just a place for councillors to exchange items. Holy objects might be valuable equipment for third-level wizards, but most fourth-level wizards looked down on them.

"One hundred star stones."

After a while, someone finally made a bid. One hundred star stones were thrown over, and the scales were immediately lifted up slowly, but they did not reach a balanced state.

Enzo frowned and shook his head.

"The principle of equivalent exchange is the rule left by the ancestors." At this time, Curtis also saw Enzo's expression and said helplessly, "We follow the meaning of this sentence, but sometimes, this may also become a shackle."

Just as Enzo thought before, different items have different values ​​for different people. The principle of equivalent exchange seems to represent fairness, but in fact, there is no absolute fairness in the world.

The scales swayed, and the councillor raised the price again.

Another hundred star stones were thrown up, and this time the scales finally balanced, and the bronze round shield was obtained by the councillor. Due to the special nature of the space rules, Enzo could not get the other party's information, and even did not know whether it was a man or a woman.

"In fact, in addition to the North Territory Auction, there are some small gatherings between councillors in private." Curtis said, "Such auctions are not bound by the scales and are relatively freer."

"I will introduce you to them later."

"Thank you, Mr. Curtis." Enzo said.

Having just been promoted to a fourth-level wizard, one thing Enzo needed to do after returning to the wizard world was to integrate into the circle of fourth-level wizards as soon as possible. The importance of information and intelligence is obviously self-evident, and the crisis of the sea blue world has not been resolved.

Soon, several more items were auctioned.

Curtis seemed uninterested, because those were all holy-level auction items, which did not have much meaning for fourth-level wizards, and almost every fourth-level wizard could make them.

And those fourth-level wizards who chose to buy them were mostly for their juniors to use.

Even a second-level wizard will establish a wizard family, let alone a fourth-level wizard. Any fourth-level wizard has a huge force behind him. They not only enjoy the benefits brought by the force, but also serve as guardians.

"The following auction item is the Sealed Ball."

On the high platform, the Faceless Man placed a black crystal ball on one end of the scale, and then introduced: "It contains a large amount of abyss aura, which can be used for experiments or refining items."

The Sealed Ball began to be auctioned.

However, the embarrassing thing is that no one bid for a long time. The abyss aura is not too precious for a fourth-level wizard. If it is not for experiments or refining equipment, no one will collect these things.

Enzo also showed a trace of helplessness on his face.

And at this moment, someone finally bid. A congressman directly threw 100 star stones on the scale and won the Sealed Ball.

"I was planning to go to the abyss."

A witch yawned in a certain part of the audience and said, "The reproduction speed of the demon species I have cultivated recently is getting slower and slower. I wonder if giving them some abyss aura this time will have any effect."

On the other side, a smile appeared on Enzo's face.

The Sealed Orb was sold, and he also got 100 Star Stones, which is equivalent to about 10 million high-level magic stones, which is equivalent to the resource income of the War Ghost World for half a year.

The price is not high, but Enzo is in a good mood.

Looking at the star stone sent back by the faceless man, Enzo's face was thoughtful. This is the universal currency in the multiverse. It contains special energy and can be used in almost any world.

"It's amazing!" Enzo exclaimed.

Then, the auction continued, and one item after another was bought by the councilors, and some of them were unsold.

"The next item is the heart of the demon lord!"

After dozens of items were auctioned, it was finally the turn of the demon heart. When the burning heart was thrown on the scale, after the faceless man briefly introduced it, almost the next moment, a councilor chose to bid.

Five hundred star stones!

One thousand star stones!

Three thousand star stones!

The three consecutive councilors' bids did not balance the scale. Enzo showed a thoughtful expression on his face. He seemed to finally understand the meaning of the principle of equivalent exchange, which is the absolute equality of value between items.

"This heart of the Balor Flame Demon is worth at least 5,000 Star Stones."

Curtis stroked his chin and said, "The Demon Lord is a fourth-level life form. Even if a wizard wants to hunt him, it will take a lot of effort and even take risks. Therefore, 5,000 Star Stones is reasonable."

While speaking, another councillor chose to bid.

In the end, the Demon Lord's Heart was sold at the price of 6,000 Star Stones. A smile appeared on Enzo's face. This was equivalent to 600 million high-level magic stones, which was the resource income of the War Ghost World for 20 years.

"Sure enough, plundering and hunting are the fastest ways to accumulate wealth!"

Enzo couldn't help but sigh. When he originally owned the War Ghost World as a resource contribution point, he was a little complacent. Now it seems that the resources contributed by the world are long-term, far less than plundering.

Killing a demon lord can get thousands of Star Stones.

If a living fourth-order life form is captured, it can even be worth tens of thousands of star stones. Such a harvest is equivalent to the resource output of a world for a hundred years. Perhaps the only advantage of the plane resource output is durability.

At the same time, hunting life of the same order also requires taking great risks.

You know, in the multiverse, the magic crystals of wizards are also very valuable items. Many devils and demon lords are proud to collect the magic crystals of fourth-order all-spirit wizards.

The Black Forest Law is like this!

Different races and civilizations fight and plunder each other, and the winner gets everything from the loser, which naturally includes life.
