Chapter 1027: Chapter 63: Ice’s Persuasion_5
A hoarse voice rose from the right side of the hall, "Alright, we all know the rules, just get it started."
Jin Bo nodded and said, "Since that’s the case, please bring up the first auction item." As his voice fell, two burly men pushed a cart to the front of the stage, covered with a red cloth. Jin Bo smiled and said, "This first auction item was acquired from the Empire of Tian Jing at a high price." With that, he lifted the red cloth, revealing a vest that shimmered with silver light. It did not look very big, and other than its silver color, it did not seem to have any special features. Jin Bo explained, "This vest was crafted by an Alchemist of the Empire of Tian Jing. Its most remarkable characteristic is that it can protect the body. Moreover, it has a certain resistance to magic. Let me show you." As he spoke, he took out a dagger from his bosom, straightened the vest with his hand, and stabbed at it with force, but the vest remained unscathed, without a single mark. Jin Bo then tried to burn the vest, but it did not change in any way.
Ah Dai frowned; although the vest seemed precious, it did not appear to be as special as his own Giant Spirit Snake Clothes and seemed out of place at a Dark Auction like this.
Jin Bo said, "With this vest, it is like having an extra life, the starting price is ten thousand Gold Coins, please place your bids." The interest in the vest among the guests below the stage was tepid, and the bidding was not enthusiastic. In the end, it was bought by guest number eleven for the price of twenty-one thousand Gold Coins.
Perhaps sensing some dissatisfaction in the atmosphere, Jin Bo said with a mysterious smile, "The second auction item is something that always appears in previous auctions, but this time it is even more precious, please bring up the second auction item." It was still the two burly men; they pushed another cart up, taking away the previous cart and red cloth. Jin Bo lifted the red cloth on the second cart, revealing five
ordinary-looking crystal bottles, each containing a dark red liquid with small white objects floating in it.
Ah Dai felt Ice shaking beside him, and turned to look at her. Her lips were slightly trembling, and she lowered her head without saying a word.
Jin Bo said proudly, "I believe our esteemed guests know what these are. The five bottles contain Purple River Cars. However, unlike previous auctions, these Purple River Cars are very special. Not only are they top-quality specimens between four to five months old, but these five bottles also contain Purple River Cars from Sunset people, Washington people, Tian Jing people, and the Yalian People of the Federation. The Purple River Car in the central bottle is the most precious because it was taken from a senior Light Magician. But rest assured, that Light Magician is definitely not a member of the clergy. How could we ever desecrate the great Sky God? The Divine Energy inherent in the Light Magician made the Purple River Car she bore extraordinarily valuable. It took us a lot of effort to obtain it. With these five Purple River Cars, you can make highly restorative medicines. Of course, they can also be used for other purposes. These items are definitely the best offerings."
After Jin Bo’s introduction, the guests below were all abuzz, seemingly surprised by the second auction item. Ah Dai looked at Yan Shi, puzzled, only to find Yan Shi’s face ashen, his hands clenched tightly. He couldn’t help but ask, "Big Brother, what are these Purple River Cars?"
Yan Shi glanced at Yan Li, who was also curious on the other side, and with great effort, whispered to Ah Dai, "Brother, you mustn’t act impulsively. These Purple River Cars are actually unfinished embryos. In other words, this Dark Auction has killed five pregnant women, and taken the fetuses from their wombs." Yan Shi was not strong enough to speak much louder, even though they were close, and it took a toll on him to transmit his voice, leaving him slightly out of breath, eyes flashing with cold light, firmly fixed on the five bottles on stage.
Upon hearing Yan Shi’s explanation, Ah Dai was completely stunned. The five bottles on stage represented ten lives! Why, why would these people be so cruel as to not even spare pregnant women? Anger like he had never felt before surged through Ah Dai’s brain, and he felt the energy within him boiling. His head heated up, and he almost irrationally rushed forward. It was at that moment that Ice, who had been holding his arm, suddenly gripped him tightly, hoisted herself onto his lap, threw her arms around Ah Dai’s neck, and her cold cherry lips pressed against his. Ah Dai’s whole body shook as he instinctively held Ice, and it seemed as though a cold current flowed from her lips, completely dispersing the rage within him, allowing him to regain his composure. Kissing Ice’s soft lips, Ah Dai was a bit flustered, the strong allure continually stirring his body, making his breathing heavy. Yan Shi and Yan Li looked at him in astonishment, not understanding what he was doing.
