Two paragraphs of text appeared on the giant screen, one in human language and one in devil's common language: "The auction house's items will be announced tonight! Adults, don't miss it!"
As the giant screen emerged, several clusters of fireworks rose into the sky, reminding all the merchants in the square to pay attention.
Li Yue's attention was naturally attracted, hoping to find some high-end goods among the goods in the auction hall.
"So you are waiting for the auction, no wonder you only use your eyes to shop." Abed stood next to Li Yue and looked at the giant screen in the sky with him.
The Devil's Market lasts for a full moon. During this period, the auction hall will open at 0:00 human time every night during the red hour. Seven rare items are sold each time, which may be a sacred object from the continent of Kaios or a certain item.
Although it is inconspicuous, it is a gadget with hidden secrets.
These rare goods have been "appraised" by the demon merchants, and are fully guaranteed in terms of value and function.
In addition, of course there will be goods that even the devil merchants in the auction house cannot identify - these goods will be auctioned intensively on the last day of every seven days. Li Yue interprets this as opening a blind box, and it seems that he does not have the capital yet.
"The first lot is the latest model of the magic motorcycle from the Tas Empire. It is powerful and can be driven for a whole day with three magic stones. Its speed is comparable to the magic wolf warriors of the Forbidden Forest! Faster! And more durable..."
Along with the bilingual introduction, a car-like object also appeared on the light screen, with a Demonic Wolf Warrior placed next to it as a comparison object. You can see the size of the Magical Motorcycle and its speed compared with the Demonic Wolf Warrior when it starts.
Seeing the magic motorcycle, neither Dandan nor Yingying had any reaction. Only Li Yue was shocked, but his expression remained as usual - Abed was by his side, so he should pay attention to the expression management of Weird Jigsaw in the future.
Sure enough, the current human technology is powered by magic power, and...has it already developed to this point?
Will the magic tank be released soon?
Li Yue sighed silently, vaguely thinking of something; and when he saw the second lot, he had no doubt that humans had already made tanks.
"The second auction item, the magic cannon at the top of the Iron City, is a magic cannon that can be loaded with magic, gunpowder, hard objects, launch rays and have various effects. If you bid successfully, you will receive a hundred rounds of cannons, along with the coordinates of the arsenal and contact information...
…”
When the second lot came on the stage, the light curtain flickered, and Li Yue saw the plausible top of the Steel City, which was even more ferocious compared to the simulated battle on the Blood River; outside the city, a shell from the magic cannon was fired over, directly
A corner of the Steel City collapsed.
Its power is no less than that of a wheeled siege beast.
Of course, this is a simulation conducted by Devil's Market, and the destructive power may be exaggerated, but it is enough to prove that human war methods have undergone qualitative changes - during the Blood River simulation war, ordinary artillery gunpowder was used, but recently it has become a magic cannon.
Already.
Undoubtedly, this technology will also be applied to steam robots and clockwork warriors. This expedition of the Demonic Expeditionary Force... will definitely not be as smooth as before, right?
Did the city lord launch an expedition even though he knew this? What was his purpose?
Li Yue's thoughts were distracted.
"I want this! I want this!" Dandan suddenly wrapped Li Yue's brain with particles and became restless.
Yingying did not speak, but Li Yue also read its heart.
【This way we can fly...】
More than just flying?
If the magic cannon is used to shoot the balls, Shadow can fine-tune the landing point of the balls just like controlling the direction of a wheel-shaped siege beast, and it is almost certain to hit...
But the question is...aren't these two guys going to join the Demon Expeditionary Army?
"Why are you here? You two don't know when you will come back." Li Yue's thoughts were slightly sour.
"We can go after we have enough fun..." Dandan wanted everything, but Shadow didn't say anything - its advancement requires experiencing the lives of all kinds of shadows, and it's not enough to be limited to the library.
"Don't worry, I want it too." Li Yue conveyed his message to Dandan and Yingying to rest assured.
Li Yue felt that the library itself also needed something similar to a magic cannon, which could be filled with various magic cannon shells to defend against enemies; even if there were no Eggs and Shadows, as long as the magic cannon was placed at the end of the bloody corridor, the first The entrance to the Sixth Library can also guarantee the hit rate.
What's more, Li Yue can also directly change the terrain of the library, and can just put it at the door to start...
Wait a moment!
Li Yue finally remembered what he had just missed - be it magic locomotives or magic cannons, these all represented the top technologies of the Tas Empire. Instead of directly applying them... instead, he should understand their composition and use them Becoming a sensor is the most strategic choice!
Although it is not possible to directly turn complex objects into sensors, wouldn't it be possible to complete mass production by soaking the materials of the locomotive and magic cannon bit by bit, and then assembling and piecing them together?
Magic stone power device, power system, ignition device... As long as these are soaked, more items can be extended - whether it is used to defend the library or further conquer other areas of the Demon King's City, it is an absolute help.
Brainy robot? Arc candlestick? Exploding little noise?
Li Yue wrote endlessly in reverie and felt that this was the real value of these two lots.
But we have to wait until we actually get these two lots before we can delve into them, and the Saudi businessman over there is still complaining.
"What...the human race..." After listening to the two auction items, Abed was not very satisfied - as the top businessman in Saudi Arabia, he certainly knew how far the Tas Empire had gone.
[That’s why the king wants to start a war... If this continues... the Tas Empire will unify the Kaios continent...]
Li Yue also heard some changes in the situation on the mainland in Abed's voice, and thought that this process was unstoppable, but now that there was a demon expeditionary force, the results might be slightly different.
Abed had just complained about the first two lots, and was immediately ignited by the third lot.
"The third lot is sold by the wandering demon merchant Bein..." A green toad appeared in the light curtain, tightly tied by an iron chain to an iron pillar that was baked red, with a look of pain on his face.
[Devil Merchant! The Demon Merchant that the Chief Chief dreams of! With it... you can identify our sand and turn it into an inexhaustible treasure...]
Abed was ecstatic.
And Li Yue didn't expect that the demon merchants could also put them up for auction. He didn't know how crazy the managers of this demon market were - if they dug out their eyes after buying them, would they be able to extract a pair of identification pupils?
Seeing that it was a demon merchant, Dandan and Yingying were not very interested, and still fantasized about the magic cannon shooting the "egg".
Looking down, the fourth, fifth, and sixth lots are respectively a paladin's sword, an amulet from the holy city Sindelami, and an invitation to the "Devil's Ball" between joys.
None of this was what Li Yue wanted, nor was it in line with Abed's needs, so neither of them responded. They each planned where to find the "introducer" of tonight's auction house.
When he heard about the last auction item, Li Yue became uneasy again, feeling that his 270,000 gold coins might not be spent very well.
"The seventh lot is also tonight's blockbuster lot, the Prophet from the Burning Valley! He is as famous as the red-robed bishop of the Demon King's City. With the mysterious heritage of the Burning Valley, he can help you predict good or bad luck and predict the future..." The light screen
A "person" appeared on the screen, his face was covered with fire patterns, and even his outer robe was made of flames.
Li Yue's heart moved - Huo Burning Valley?
Although Li Yue has no interest in divination of the future, but from what he hears, he thinks... the place Huo Burning Valley should have something to do with "Hell Karma Fire", right?
Even the book collection about "Fire Burning Valley" in the library writes that "Fire Burning Valley is the place closest to hell." From this point of view, this Fire Burning Valley prophet... may be something Li Yue can understand now.
, the closest clue to "Hell Karma Fire".
"How about it, do you want to grab it?" After reading the introduction of tonight's auction, Dandan and Yingying started communicating again in Li Yue's head.
"Shoot first, and then steal if you can't shoot. If you can't steal, rob." Li Yue decided to go to the auction house at 0:00 - if the Prophet of Fire Valley and the Magic Cannon were auctioned off by others, he would find a way to rob them.
.
Although Li Yue still doesn't know how to break the contract of the Devil's Market, nor does he know whether the auction opponents will choose to hire Dessler's guards to escort him, nor does he know the security measures of the auction hall... But the potential of the first two items is
You have to give it a try no matter what.
Although the method of robbery is not yet clear, Li Yue already has some ideas - he is new here and is not very clear about his skills. Instead of trying to bypass the contract, it is better to actively attract experienced players to show up and learn from practice.
Anyway, there are murderers here, and there must be a lot of robbers. As long as you show your wealth, you can attract them.
"Mr. Grandet... what do you mean, are you going to the auction house?" Abed invited warmly, "Do you want to come together? I know an introducer, you only need to give me 15% of the introduction fee..."
Li Yue raised a finger.
"10%? It's not impossible...for the sake of how you helped me just now..."
"One, I won't give you a dime." With limited funds and two lots, Li Yue of course had to spend every penny wisely.
With that said, Li Yue took out his wallet and poured the gold coins into his sleeves. However, the soft sound did not attract too many people's attention. Obviously, neither the thief nor the robber was here, and there was no way to give Li Yue any reference.
"ideas".
"You also have your own introducer? Who is it?" Abed became more excited - different introducers have different entrance fees, and the higher the authority, the cheaper it is. Seeing how stingy this master is,
In the state of having nothing to lose, Abed thought that he might as well try it.
"I'm going to see the mayor, do you want to come with me?" Li Yue had just heard from the hearts of the businessmen passing by that the mayor was also an introducer, and he was a very important one.
Li Yue felt that...as the owner of his own library, he should be able to get an admission ticket.
"No, no... let's... see you at the auction house..." Abed didn't seem to want to meet the mayor of the death town of Desler.
