Chapter 308 The mysterious ancient box [5K]

Next, on the high platform like a stage.

The white-haired old auctioneer was full of witty words while introducing in an old and loud voice.

On one side, some rather magical items such as colorful paintings painted with magic paints were displayed one after another.

On the other side, facing these colorful objects, the nobles and businessmen in the audience also let out waves of low exclamations from time to time.

However, the overall atmosphere was far from as high as the previous two games.

In this process, the most intense bidding ever took place.

It was a competition between a rich and fat aristocrat and another wealthy businessman over the painting "The Girl of the Bright Elf Tribe Against the Light".

In the end, the rich and fat nobleman successfully pocketed it for 30,000 gold dragons.

Looking at the fat face of the rich and fat nobleman, which was full of excitement, Lei Xiao looked at the lifelike figures on the canvas, playing hazily by the forest river, and couldn't help but curled his lips slightly.

It seems that this rich and fat aristocrat really paid off his trip.

All in all, judging from the expectant expressions on most of the guests present.

Almost everyone is obviously waiting for the last item, the Ancient Box, to appear.

After all, this mysterious thing, just discovered, has attracted the covetousness of unknown forces. I am afraid there must be some big secret hidden in it.

Super powerful martial arts or magic? Rare potion formulas or potions? Where is the huge treasure?

Maybe, once you understand it thoroughly, you may soar into the sky!

"Are you really waiting for the Ancient Box to appear?"

Noticing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and felt that his palms were a little sweaty.

There is no doubt that the moment the Ancient Box appeared.

It also means that a bloody storm caused by a fifth-level powerhouse that most people did not expect is about to sweep the entire place crazily.

"Lord Lord, 13 powerful men from the mysterious organization, under the guidance of Klee and Gary.

They had quietly killed a group of Fanyin City garrison archers who were standing guard somewhere on the rooftop of the Phytolacca Trade Fair.

Currently, we are entering the interior of the trade fair through the window on the balcony below!"

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, Nan Xing's sassy voice came over.

"Is it finally here?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded towards the knotweed hidden behind the stone pillar not far away, signaling it to be ready for battle at any time.

In this visual blind spot, coupled with the help of the concealment ring, it is almost impossible for even the so-called Shura to detect the existence of knotweed.

Lin and Bai Wei, with Kelly's assistance, had already gone to the most advanced exhibition area of ​​the trade fair, ready to make some big noise and attract Gale to deal with it.

At this point, everything is ready for our side, and we are just waiting for the battle between Fanyin City Lord and the strong men of the mysterious organization.

"What is about to appear next is the last item of our auction, the ancient box that was discovered in ancient ruins not long ago!

I believe all the guests here have been looking forward to this moment for a long time, right?"

Immediately, the white-haired auctioneer's loud voice resounded throughout the auction room again: "Then, let us uncover the true face of this mysterious object together!"

After the old auctioneer finished speaking, the nobles and businessmen in the audience immediately opened their eyes wide and straightened their necks, showing curiosity on their faces.

Lei Xiao, on the other hand, directly swallowed a Fengmu Pill, improving his eyesight to a new level, and watched intently.

For a moment, the whole place was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the auction table at the front.

Wow.

Immediately afterwards, there was a roar of metal chains colliding.

A giant bluestone platform began to slowly rise from the center of the stage.

On the huge platform, there is a one-meter-square black square object.

If you look carefully, you will see that the surface of this black square object is smooth, with magical light flashing from time to time, just like a huge magic cardboard box.

"It seems that this should be the powerful magic barrier Kelly mentioned.

It is said that this kind of magic barrier has a complete self-circulation system, and even a fifth-level strongman cannot break it.

At the same time, the weight will be constant, making it impossible for people to carry it.”

Seeing this, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to observe: "Unfortunately, although it is extremely strong, the area it can cover is extremely small.

And just like the storage space, it can only store lifeless items, which greatly reduces its practicality and is almost like a safe."

Lei Xiao had just thought about this secretly when he saw the old auctioneer on the stage clapped his hands rather coolly.

Immediately, several teams of well-trained trade fair guards quickly walked out from the passages on the left and right sides of the stage, completely surrounding the entire stage.

Judging from the aura, the strength of each guard is above the second-level senior level.

Among them, there are also a few good atmospheres of third-level powerhouses.

Suddenly, a sudden scene occurred.

The quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the venue suddenly became tense.

"Haha, please don't worry."

On the other side, the old auctioneer on the stage raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, and then said: "You must have heard about it.

When this box was first discovered, it was robbed by unknown forces.

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of everyone and the Ancient Box, we have taken this action."

"It's quite high-sounding."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly and thought to himself: "Actually, it's just to guard against strong men with mysterious organizations, so they should be mingling with the guests.

However, this is obviously not the main force of this trap.

It seems that the reason why the lord of Fanyin City made such arrangements is probably to confuse the powerful people of the mysterious organization."

"Okay, distinguished guests, please join me in appreciating the true appearance of this ancient box."

Having said this impassionedly, the old auctioneer nodded to several powerful magicians who were on standby not far away.

Immediately afterwards, those powerful magicians understood, took steps, and went straight to the bluestone platform in the center of the auction stage.

In an instant, a high-pitched and distinctly layered sound of obscure incantations sounded.

After a while, the brilliance shining on the square black barrier became obviously dim.

"It seems that this should be the spell to remove the barrier."

Looking at this rather magical scene in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

She couldn't help but show a thoughtful look: "According to what Kelly said before, this special high-intensity magic barrier.

There is a unique set of sealing and unlocking rules. Each unlocking spell is completely different and requires multiple people to complete it.

The most important thing is that this is only one of the protective measures.

It can be seen that the protective measures of this kind of barrier are indeed very complete.

No wonder the strong men of the mysterious organization don't usually go out.

As the vice president, Gary naturally knows better than anyone how difficult it is to solve it."

On the other side, several powerful magicians on several stages finished casting their spells.

The old auctioneer nodded slightly, took out a lavender crystal stone from his arms, and gently placed it on the already dim black barrier.

The next second, there was a crisp sound of broken glass.

The black barrier on the bluestone platform began to collapse rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a moment, a dark gray box half a meter square appeared in front of everyone.

If you look carefully, you can see that the box is square and in the shape of a perfect cube. It has no components similar to a lid or a small drawer, and the shape is very much like a Rubik's Cube.

Under the illumination of a large number of light crystals, its surface reflected a dim and strange light, which seemed to absorb part of the light source.

It seems that the box should be made of some special material between metal and crystal. It can be said to be very magical.

Moreover, it is covered with finely crafted fine textures. At first glance, it looks like an extremely complex maze, making people feel inexplicably dizzy.

"Good guy, is this the Ancient Box?"

Under the influence of Fengmu Dan, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing surprise when he saw this place carefully.

There is no doubt that this box is much more mysterious than he imagined.

"Just from this distance, this box gives people an extremely profound sense of age.

There seems to be some kind of magic that makes it difficult for people to look away. It is obviously not an ordinary thing."

While rubbing his chin, Lei Xiao continued to think: "Is this thing really a box for storing things? And which race left it behind?

The most important thing is, what kind of secret is hidden in this that makes the mysterious organization know that this is a trap, but still want to break in at all costs? "

While Lei Xiao was thinking to himself.

On the other side, the old auctioneer on the stage spoke slowly and continued to introduce: "As you can see, this is the Ancient Box.

According to the judgment of our senior archaeologists from Fanyin City.

This object most likely comes from the blank era three thousand years ago.

As for which race he belongs to, it is still unknown.

However, it can be analyzed by looking at the clues in the ruins.

This thing comes from races other than our humans, elves, dwarves, and orcs. It can indeed be called an extremely mysterious object.

Haha, after all, in that blank era, there were not a few races that have since disappeared.

This further increases the value of this box."

Having said this, looking at the concentrated expressions of the nobles and businessmen in the audience, the old auctioneer smiled slightly.

He continued: “And, after many attempts, we discovered.

No matter on the physical level or the magical level, this box cannot be opened.

As for why we concluded it was a box, it was because we used an expensive professional detection magic scroll to detect it.

Inside the box, there was some weak magical reaction.

This undoubtedly proves that there must be some kind of mystery hidden in it."

At this time, the old auctioneer paused again, and while stroking the gray beard on his face, he continued: "Therefore, the respected Lord of Fanyin City has decided.

Because we in Fanyin City are really unable to decipher the secret.

Therefore, it is better to take this thing out and let those who are destined to compete for it.

Perhaps, we will discover the secret, which is still unknown.

Once any guest takes advantage of this and becomes famous, don’t forget our Fanyin City, hehe.”

As soon as the old auctioneer said this, the nobles and businessmen in the audience couldn't help but look passionately at the simple box reflecting the dim light on the stage.

Needless to say, just from the appearance, age, and the fact that it is coveted by bad people, you can completely conclude that this thing is absolutely extraordinary!

At this moment, many thoughtful nobles were already thinking about how to leave Fanyin City smoothly once they won it.

Of course, among the crowd present, only Lei Xiao and his subordinates clearly understood.

All this is just a pretense used by the Lord of Fanyin City to lure the enemy, and he will not actually auction it.

"However, since these cunning guys have already justified the purpose of auctioning this ancient box, and used a blank check to send a favor.

So, this way.

Even if a mysterious organization comes to attack, the other nobles and wealthy businessmen who are affected will naturally not be able to place the blame on the head of Fanyin City Lord.

I have to say that the Lord of Fanyin City is really an old fox."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao turned his dark eyes while observing the expressions of the guests around him.

While thinking secretly in his heart: "Speaking of which, I don't know how much of what the other party just said is true or false.

However, if this box really comes from the blank era three thousand years ago.

Then, all this can indeed be explained.

After all, when we encountered the mysterious organization before.

Whether it is the ancient battlefield ruins or the elven ruins near Shen Banxia's territory, they all seem to be related to the blank era three thousand years ago."

Just when Lei Xiao was thinking about this, the voice prompt for reading suddenly sounded.

After the connection was connected, Nan Xing's majestic voice came out: "Lord, these powerful men of the mysterious organization are surrounded by you.

From the high-rise area of ​​Phytolacca Trade Fair, we finally entered a room behind the main entrance hall on the first floor.

Because the door closed too quickly, the subordinate and Nan Yue were blocked from the door and could not further enter the room to check.

May I ask, Lord, what should we do next?"

"I understand, there is no need to act rashly, just stay outside the door."

Speaking of this softly, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show a puzzled expression: "This auction house is obviously on the underground floor. If the other party wants to seize the mysterious box, how can they enter the room on the upper floor?"

After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao trembled and suddenly showed a look of enlightenment: "Good guys, these guys are planning to not take the usual route and make a hole in the upper floor.

Then he dropped straight down from the top of the auction table, falling from the sky to seize the ancient box!

It seems that the battle is about to begin!"

Realizing this, a drop of cold sweat quietly slipped from Lei Xiao's forehead.

I saw that he did not hesitate and immediately contacted Lin, Bai Wei and Kelly who were waiting outside the auction house, indicating that they could start making a fuss.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The next second, along with a series of loud noises, a violent explosion suddenly occurred outside the auction house.

There is no doubt that this is the sound of our own third-level magic scroll: advanced pyrotechnic bomb.

"I'm afraid not many people would use a precious third-level magic scroll as a tool to attract attention, right?"

Smiling helplessly, Lei Xiao turned his head slightly and looked at Gale who was sitting in the back row of the venue.

Finding that he looked really nervous, he led several teams of trade fair guards and hurriedly left the auction hall.

At the same time, the series of loud noises were like a giant water dragon roaring out of the sea.

Suddenly, the entire auction house, which was as calm as water, exploded into waves of huge waves.

As a result, many people subconsciously stood up from their seats and looked around with bewildered expressions on their faces.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Where is my guard? Come and protect me!"

"Could it be that who is using Earth Splitting Technique?"

"No, that's obviously the explosion of fire magic!"

"No...it's not like someone is coming in, right?"

I saw that most of the nobles and wealthy businessmen with average strength had panic expressions on their faces.

Most of the powerful nobles of the third level and above have drawn out the weapons at their waists and begun to prepare for attack.

For a time, the impressive momentum was like a sudden explosion of flames.

It began to erupt one after another in the venue, causing waves of energy to ripple around.

This world is a world where the strong are respected.

Therefore, even though these nobles and lords usually enjoy themselves and enjoy themselves, they always act as if they are aloof and intoxicated.

However, a considerable number of them are no less dedicated to cultivation than ordinary civilians.

On the contrary, it is because of the abundant funds, which can be used to purchase high-end equipment and use magic potions.

Coupled with the elite education of the upper class.

Therefore, the strength of most aristocratic strong men is much higher than that of ordinary civilian strong men.

This is the gap in resources.

Of course, for an alien like Lei Xiao who has no concept of money, he naturally does not value these things, because no one has as many resources as him.

Having said that, the nobles and businessmen on the scene were all a little confused about the current situation.

The old auctioneer on the stage had a calm look on his face, stroking his beard lightly and smiling lightly at the crowd: "Dear distinguished guests.

Don’t worry, Your Excellency, the respected Lord of Fanyin City, has already taken complete protective measures..."

However, he hasn't finished speaking yet.

boom!

Followed by another deafening loud noise.

On the huge auction stage, it was like a rain of mud and rocks.

In an instant, dust was everywhere and earth and rocks were flying.

Large pieces of stone were scattered in all directions, hitting the surrounding walls hard, as well as the crowd in the front row who had no time to escape.

The next second, thirteen figures exuded monstrous momentum.

Under the surprised and disbelieving gazes of all the nobles.

Already unknown, he appeared on a stage in a mess.

Seeing this, surrounded by his subordinates, Lei Xiao, who was hidden in the crowd, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked calm.

There is no doubt that a good show is about to take place.
