What was displayed on the stage was a nearly square metal block, about three meters long and one meter wide. Judging from the fact that it took six vampires to lift it, this metal block should be very heavy. The appearance of the metal block
It is very smooth and has no decorative features. The only thing worth noting is the row of eye-catching symbols on the top of the metal block. This row of symbols looks like just some twisted gestures, but if you taste it carefully, you can feel that it seems to contain some mysterious meaning.
When seeing this piece of metal without many obvious features, Sylvia immediately thought of the word "relic of prehistoric civilization". Obviously, the vampires would never be stupid enough to use an ordinary piece of metal to auction as a special item.
, and the most precious metals in the world are those mysterious metals from prehistoric civilizations.
However, the doubts in Sylvia's heart did not diminish much, because Leo's reaction when he saw the metal block was too great. Logically speaking, Leo can be regarded as the person with the most exposure to prehistoric civilization in the Velen world, and maybe even
He is the person who knows the most about prehistoric civilization in the world. He should have been accustomed to these things for a long time. He should not have reacted like this.
The doubts in her heart made Sylvia want to ask Leo Leo the reason, but in the end he suppressed the curiosity in his heart and did not ask the question.
At this moment, Leo was completely immersed in the shock in his heart. He never expected to see this thing, and he even felt that he was being controlled by some invisible force.
This thing is both familiar and strange to Leo, because this thing belongs to him, to the cyborg from the past, and it was only obtained after his death. This thing is a coffin, a coffin that belongs to him.
Biochemical humans are mass-produced biological weapons of the Earth Federation. Although biochemical humans have similar physiological structures to humans, they are not humans. Therefore, ordinary people deal with the death of biochemical humans in the same way as they would deal with a damaged tool.
Throw it into the designated recycling bin.
However, with the efforts of some cyborg egalitarian social figures in various colonial planets, cyborgs have also begun to gain some rights. Among them, the earliest cyborgs to obtain rights are the cyborg warriors who specifically fight for the Federation. In addition to the rights they have obtained, they have certain rights.
In addition to a cabin for resting and treatment equipment for treatment, you also have the right to obtain a coffin after death.
All bionic warriors who have made military exploits for the Federation will receive a coffin made of ordinary alloy after their death. The production location and code name of the bionic warrior will be engraved on this coffin, and the coffins of these warriors are temporarily stored in that kind of
When a certain number of them are gathered in the trailers of civilian tugboats, they will all be thrown into the nearest star for incineration.
However, in many cases, such corpse containers are not sent to stars for incineration, because some armies have discovered that when conducting critical battles against enemy forces on the ground, they can push these corpse containers into a near-ground orbit, and then calculate the landing orbit and put them into orbit.
These corpse containers serve as railguns for ground attack.
Because due to space treaties, space battleships cannot attack the ground with weapons exceeding the regulations, so attacking the ground has always been a problem for all fleets in the universe. But now the corpse container has perfectly circumvented all the regulations on all enemy weapons in the universe.
, and its power is also amazing, so this kind of bionic corpse rail gun has become an important weapon used by most federal fleets to attack the ground.
Although the actions of various fleets of the Earth Federation are very excessive, for the bionic warriors, it is already very important to have a coffin after death and still be able to fight as a weapon instead of being thrown into the recycling chute like garbage.
alright.
Cyborgs like Leo who have gained some wisdom will learn from humans and arrange things after death before death, such as preparing a coffin for themselves. This is why Leo can recognize this coffin at a glance.
, because this coffin was made by him himself, including the identification number on the coffin, which he also carved by himself.
Now that he has become a real human being, when he sees his coffin appearing at this auction, the shock in his heart is naturally self-evident, not to mention that there is probably a body of his biochemical being preserved in the coffin.
in it.
"Already want to get it!" An idea quickly emerged in Leo's mind. Even if he couldn't get the coffin at the auction, he would get it from the person who bought the coffin.
While Leo was deep in thought, the vampire baroness on the stage began to introduce the origin of this coffin.
Although this vampire baroness cannot tell the origin of the auction items in a strong and powerful voice like the previous auctioneer, like telling a story, so that people can listen deeply, but it is meaningless for this female
The dry information that Jue mentioned is actually useful information. Anyone who is really interested in this coffin will listen carefully.
This coffin was not found in the Kingdom of Maris, but came from the Belem Glacier Lake near the ice sheet in the north of Dalyat.
The scenery of Dalyat, the ice and snow kingdom, is very beautiful. There are countless world-famous scenery. However, in the list of Dalyat scenery rankings made by some good travelers, Belem Glacier Lake has always been in the top five.
occupy a spot in the scenery.
Belem Glacier Lake is also called the Sky Lake, because this lake is on the top of the Belem Crater, a full 6,000 teka from the ground, which is equivalent to more than 4,000 meters. It can almost be said to be in the sky.
, coupled with the fact that the top of Belem Crater is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, its title of Lake in the Sky and Lake in the Clouds has become worthy of its name.
Just like the Guga Desert is a holy place for the excavation of prehistoric civilization relics, the Belem Glacier Lake is also a holy place for the excavation of prehistoric civilization relics, and compared with the prehistoric relics in the Guga Desert that have been seriously eroded by wind and sand, Beren Glacier Lake is also a sacred place for the excavation of prehistoric civilization relics.
The relics of prehistoric civilization in Lunbing Lake are actually very well preserved due to the protection of climate relics by ice and snow. The only drawback is that the difficulty of excavation is many times more difficult than in the Gujia Desert.
Someone has studied the relics of prehistoric civilization in Belem Glacier Lake, and concluded that this was once a battlefield of prehistoric civilization, because there are many suspected weapons in the relics, and Belem Crater and Belem Glacier Lake are also very likely
It is the destruction caused by war.
After this conclusion was put forward, it immediately attracted the attention of all countries, because everyone seemed to know what the weapon was that destroyed the earth like this.
However, for a long time Belem Glacier Lake has become the focus of various countries' research on prehistoric civilization.
At that time, Dalyat's national power was not very strong. Facing the pressure from various countries, they could only bow their heads and obey, treating the Belem Glacier Lake as a world public research area.
However, this situation completely changed with the accession of the Snow Queen to the throne. Except for the researchers of Dialiat itself, all researchers from other countries were expelled. All research results and excavated items were confiscated, leaving no room for them at all.
None remained.
Although governments around the world are very angry at the Snow Queen's actions, they can't do anything about her.
As the most powerful country on the road, the French Empire can indeed send troops to the Minsk mainland, but how many troops it sends and how much military expenditure it spends are all problems. On the Minsk side, only the Maris Kingdom and the Saville Kingdom can compete with their northern neighbors.
However, the national strength of both countries is now in decline, and the Northern Kingdom's national strength has been booming due to some reform measures taken by the Queen after she ascended the throne. It has already left the two countries far behind, so that the two countries are even more worried about the Northern Kingdom's
Invasion, instead of considering going to war with the north for some civilization research.
Therefore, the final result of this matter was nothing. The only ones that were damaged were the institutions in various countries that studied prehistoric civilization. Without the research on Belem Glacier Lake, the entire research on prehistoric civilization fell into a state of stagnation.
.
When the Blood Countess announced that this item came from Belem Ice Lake, almost everyone present became interested in this item.
Because of the Snow Queen’s blockade of Belén Glacier Lake, the number of prehistoric civilization relics related to Belén Glacier Lake has remained constant. In addition to personal collections and damage caused by national research, the overall number has remained unchanged.
Out of the state of decline, the value of the Belem Ice Lake relics has also increased day by day, and has even exceeded the price of prehistoric civilization relics produced in other areas by several times.
But even so, the relics produced in Belen Ice Lake are still in short supply, and they are quickly bought every time they appear. The vampires regard this item as the first special item, and naturally they want this item to be something that they already have.
The deserted auction house became lively.
"How do you prove that this is the product of Belem Glacier Lake?" At this time, a buyer in a box opposite questioned this simple-looking metal block: "You know, in the past, many people took other
The relics of the local prehistoric civilization are the relics produced by the Caterpillar Belem Glacier Lake. How can you prove the origin of this relic? Natasha, don't tell me, you are using the reputation of your vampire family to prove it."
Although the person who raised the question seemed to be aiming at the relics of Beren Ice Lake, the hidden meaning in his words was aimed at the Vampire Baroness and the Vampires themselves on the stage. It was obvious that the relationship between the person who spoke and the Vampires was not good.
How good.
The vampire baroness glanced at the box with a sneer. She seemed to know who the person who raised the question was. She did not argue with him. Instead, she picked up a document and placed it on the metal block. She said calmly: "This
It is a certification document jointly signed by eight experts on prehistoric civilization, and there is also the official export document of Dalyat, which can completely prove that this object was excavated from the Belem Glacier Lake in Dalyat."
"What does this prove?" The person in the box was obviously not ready to let the Vampire Baroness go. He spoke again and said: "As long as you have some ability, you can get these certification documents. You..."
"Shut up!" Before the man could finish his words, a cult leader in the third-floor private room said: "Mouse, if you don't want to buy it, just shut up and don't affect other people." Then he saw another person.
The Blood Countess said: "Can I bid now?"
"Of course." The Vampire Baroness nodded.
The cult leader immediately quoted a price that was three times the reserve price. Once the cult leader took the initiative, others followed suit and quoted high prices one after another. As for the person who caused trouble before, he stopped and said nothing more.
.
As the price continued to get too high, the atmosphere became more and more heated, and Leo frowned tightly, because the price quoted now had already exceeded the funds he had left on hand.
"If you don't have enough funds, I can..." Sylvia once again proposed to fund Leo's funds.
Leo thought for a while, and when he heard the rising quotations outside, he shook his head, rejected Sylvia's kindness, and said: "It's useless, even if we gather the funds from you and me, according to the
The current rate of increase in quotations is not enough," he paused and whispered to Sylvia: "You can help investigate who the final buyer is later."
Seeing Leo so clearly revealing his intention to make a business without capital, Sylvia not only didn't feel disgusted, but actually looked extremely excited, looking eager to give it a try, and said: "It's okay for me to check the buyer, but I
To participate.”
Leo was silent for a moment, nodded, and agreed to Sylvia's request.
The bidding outside gradually became more intense, and the bidding brought out not only money but also items. Among these items were gemstones, rare ores, and even more special materials used in certain rituals.
The reason why they are willing to exchange such a high-value item for this relic of the prehistoric civilization produced in Belem Ice Lake is mainly for the opportunity to buy, because there have been rumors about why the national power of Dalyat suddenly increased.
So many, after repeated analysis, and a series of operations performed by the Snow Queen after she ascended the throne, many people believe that the relics of prehistoric civilization in Belem Ice Lake played a role, which means that the Ice Queen may have been able to master a piece of prehistoric civilization.
's relic.
Relics of prehistoric civilization that can change the overall strength of a country can definitely be regarded as artifacts anyway. Although no one knows what this metal block is now, it may be just a pile of metal scraps, but in case it is that kind of artifact
Items are worth paying no matter how much you pay.
Just like before the war between the two countries, the leaders of both sides thought that they would be the final winner. Now these buyers probably think that they will be different and lucky enough to finally solve the problem.
The mystery of this piece of metal becomes its master.
However, if these people knew that what they bought back was just a metal coffin, I don't know how they would feel in their hearts.
Chapter completed!
