Chapter 468 This is the real high-end exchange meeting
[Haines Notes] There are eleven copies in total, and Raymond already has nine of them in his hands.
If he remembered correctly, Helen once said that one of the last two notebooks was in the hands of the World Headquarters, Pope Derleth, and the other one should be in the hands of the president of the "Alchemy Association".
These two guys are definitely high-level officials of the World Headquarters, one is overt and the other is undercover.
Therefore, no matter which copy appears in the auction now, there is obviously something wrong with the origin of this notebook.
There are many capable people in the extraordinary world, so it is impossible for the World Government to be completely unaware of the emergence of Heins's descendants.
Now, a [Hynes Notebook] appeared inexplicably at the peak gathering of a group of pirate bosses. It looked a bit "unintentional" no matter how you look at it.
When Raymond saw the note appear, he instantly felt that this thing was - "fishing".
But... he still had to take the bait.
This note is completely useless to people who don’t need it.
But for the Heins inheritors, it is definitely not to be missed.
This is the cleverness of the people behind the scenes. If there is a fish or no fish, just throw a rod, and those who are willing to take the bait will take the bait...
...
When he saw the note appear on the auction table, Capone turned to look at Raymond.
The boss didn't say much, but raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously aware of the powerful relationship.
"Someone actually put this thing up for auction...what exactly do they want to do?"
Raymond's face was solemn, and his mind was still rapidly weighing the pros and cons.
This notebook is very crucial. It is related to the exclusive potion formula for him to advance to the Soul Sequence in the future and the secrets left by Haines. He must keep it in his hands.
But if he comes forward now, he will obviously fall into a trap.
The hall became lively as the east and west were separated.
"Haines' notes? Hey, I didn't expect this to appear..."
"It is said that if you collect eleven notebooks, you can obtain the amazing secret treasure left by the 'Soul Emperor' Haines... Unfortunately, there is only one notebook, and it is of no use."
"Yes! I once got one of these books. It was completely meaningless gibberish and useless..."
"..."
There were all top pirates present. They had heard more or less the story of "Thirteen Sages" Heines, and they also generally knew the rumors about the notes.
But when the extraordinary level reaches their level, there are really not many treasures in the world that can tempt them.
At least, this seemingly clueless treasure game has little appeal to them.
The auctioneer has bid twice, but no one has spoken.
This kind of thing is a "forbidden object" with a bounty from the World Headquarters. Not only will it not bring any benefit to you, but it will also be hot to the touch... It is not worth taking.
Seeing that the note was about to fail, Capone suddenly spoke.
"Morgan, where did you get this thing?"
...
Raymond glanced at Capone and said nothing.
Obviously the boss knows that he is bound to get this note. If he misses this auction, he doesn't know and has no chance to get the note again.
Therefore, this time is not to be missed.
Capone spoke, and Raymond instantly understood the meaning of his move.
The boss is going to ask him to step in to block the thunder.
Anyway, the current situation is so bad that it doesn't matter if the [Blood Emperor] regiment has a few more enemies to worry about.
What's more, even if there is something wrong with this note, it's just those guys from the World Headquarters who are behind it.
At this time, the gang leader Morgan, who always had a burning cigar in his mouth, walked up to the podium and said to Capone: "This is something for consignment from the auction house in the city...Capone, you also understand our 'Black Lagoon'
The city's black market rules don't tell us whether we know the identity of the seller, and even if we know it, we won't tell it."
"oh."
Capone shrugged noncommittally, as expected.
He was obviously not interested in asking any more questions, so he looked at it lazily and said, "Then, how do you trade this thing?"
Morgan smiled half-heartedly and asked instead, "Capone, are you interested in this thing?"
Capone smacked his lips and said casually: "Yes. The former Captain Delos collected a few books... They look familiar to me, and I want to take a photo and keep them in my hands as a souvenir..."
This is not false. After all, "Pirate King" Delos did collect these notes back then, so it is not a secret.
Although these pirate bosses guessed that Capone might already know the secrets in the notebook, this thing is indeed useless paper to others.
Although the bystanders were suspicious, no one interrupted.
Morgan didn't do any ink and said directly: "The seller wants to exchange for a set of Sequence 9-Sequence 0 legendary magic potions of the power system with high quality. You know, this thing can be exchanged for a bounty at the World Headquarters, and can also be exchanged for Devil Fruit or
A complete set of legendary potions... Capone, if you can take it out, you can trade it on the spot!"
"Tsk, tsk, the price is not small..."
Capone was not in a hurry to answer, but turned to look at Raymond, as if to ask again.
There is still a complete set of legendary magic potions in the power system, but not everyone can get it.
Capone did have some legendary formulas in his hand, but they were not complete. So, he naturally thought of Raymond, who could deduce the legendary potion formula himself.
Raymond nodded.
If you talk about other things, he may not be able to come up with it.
But there was a lot of magic potion formula in his package.
While he was deducing the "Velociraptor Sequence" magic potion, he also deduced some weird formulas, including legendary formulas of inferior quality.
Of course, after all, it is an improved formula of the giants. For ordinary human extraordinary people, the difficulty of advancement is slim.
But this thing is not a scam.
After all, the general advancement requirements for legendary potions are very strict, and Raymond only guarantees that the formula is authentic. The seller has not asked whether it can be applied, and he has no obligation to care.
What's more, it seems like this was a conspiracy.
...
"Okay, I happen to have a legendary potion formula here..."
Capone took the stack of formulas handed over by Raymond, and with a shake of his hand, he accurately threw it on the treasure tray on the auction table, "Morgan, you can ask someone to check it. I guarantee that this is of excellent quality.
Power potion..."
Capone agreed to the deal so easily, not only the local gangster Morgan, but also all the big pirates present were surprised.
As we all know, in the world of navigation, every legendary potion formula is a strategic-level treasure, and only major forces have some scattered formulas in their collections.
Those who can come up with a complete set must be those famous super families and super powers.
For example, the twelve demigod sequences inherited by the twelve sage families!
But now, Capone has come up with a whole set of legendary formulas?
Is it...possible that the value of the notes is higher than expected?
Although the other "Seven Endless Emperors" looked a little ready to make a move, their eyes turned hot when they looked at the mysterious notebook. But they really wanted to take a cross, but found that they couldn't or were reluctant to take out a set of formulas.
Come and replace these notes that I don’t know if they are of any use.
"There is no need to check..."
Obviously, the reputation of an "Endless Seven Emperors" is much more important than a notebook.
With Capone's assurance, Morgan was very happy and completed the transaction directly, saying: "Since it was Capone who made the request, there can be no problem with this formula."
He asked the maid to bring the notes to Capone's box, and Raymond easily got a note again.
For other people, the price of exchanging a notebook for a set of legendary potion formulas is not small.
But for Raymond, who can deduce legendary formulas, perhaps the least valuable ones are those magic potion formulas.
...
Raymond got the note, flipped through it, and immediately confirmed that it was an authentic copy of "Haines Notes".
"How did you get it so easily?"
He was also a little suspicious, he didn't expect to get a notebook so easily.
At this time, he suddenly thought of his previous guess, and out of caution, he gave the notebook a "eye of true seeing".
At this sight, his pupils shrank suddenly.
Capone on the side looked at Raymond and his expression changed slightly when he got the note. He also guessed something and asked: "What, is there something wrong with the note?"
"The notes are fine."
Raymond shook his head and said: "It's just... there is a very obscure mark hidden in this note... It seems to be a spatial positioning mark."
Upon hearing this, Capone narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a cold light, "It's really a mark of mastery... I didn't even notice it at all."
Both of them understood that there must be something wrong with the origin of the note, and they were not surprised to find the location mark.
"Your kid's perception seems to be very strong now. It seems that he has awakened some incredible extraordinary abilities..."
At this time, Capone looked at Raymond and sighed.
Raymond was noncommittal and asked: "Senior Capone, what should I do with these notes now?"
Capone looked thoughtful, thought for a while, and then said: "Let's just leave it like this for now. Eighty percent of the people who did this are people from the World Headquarters. They created such a clever mark, thinking that we didn't notice it... maybe
, you can take advantage of the situation."
"Um."
Raymond nodded and put the notes into the storage ring.
This "Seven Emperors Sea Meeting", the World Headquarters did not take any action, that would be strange.
...
The transaction will continue to proceed.
The further you go to the back, the more valuable the auction items appear, and most of them are treasures that cannot be measured by money.
Gradually, it turned into a small circle exchange meeting for several "Endless Seven Emperors" to barter.
Capone himself also used his treasures to exchange for some strategic materials, such as high-level magic cores that cannot be bought on the market outside, as well as top-level gems for making rune stones above SS...
This group of great pirates traveling across the seas has plundered countless human territories and caravans, and also unearthed countless treasures and relics that were lost in history. The amount of treasures they have accumulated has reached an incredible level.
On weekdays, the "Seven Endless Emperors" each move in their own sea areas and rarely interact with each other. Now taking advantage of this opportunity, they also took out all the idle treasures in their hands and exchanged them with each other to show off...
Treasures were taken out one by one, and Raymond opened his eyes again.
This time, he witnessed with his own eyes the largest "exposition" of top treasures in the world of navigation!
Artifact fragments, strange ancient civilization techniques, blueprints of ancient civilization's technological products, ancient shipwreck treasures, ruins treasure maps...
Ordinary treasures have been consumed within the "Endless Eight Emperors" fleet. Those that can be brought to the exchange meeting must be some treasures that are hard to understand and whose origins are unbelievable.
for example...
The [Spider King] Sersi with eight golden mechanical arms on her back took out a lump of black liquid. The system showed that it was the blood essence of the ancient beast [Super Behemoth]...
[War King] Carter Z. Freeze took out a technological blueprint of technological civilization, and the system showed it was [antimatter bomb blueprint]...
And the [Fire King] Idra Jin, whose hair was full of flame waves, took out a bronze statue of an unknown god. The system showed that it was the ancient demon god [Wind God Jerabi’s Faithful Golden Body]!
[Beast King] Vante took out...
There are so many treasures that it is dazzling.
These things, even many of the "Endless Eight Emperors" cannot understand their origins and uses.
They only know that they are extremely valuable, but they don’t know how valuable they are!
...
"Damn it, these guys actually have so many treasures! Probably, these are the top props in the game that are revealed after defeating these ultimate bosses..."
Raymond swallowed hard at the sight, and he could no longer hold back the thoughts of robbery that were brewing in his heart.
He has a system for identification, and the details of each treasure are clearly displayed on the system.
Of course, what caught Raymond's attention the most was the [Golden Body of Faith of Wind God Jerabi]!
Because, this two-meter-tall bronze statue exuded an aura that was extremely familiar to him, which was... [Power of God]!
"What a coincidence?"
Raymond's eyes sparkled.
I'm still worried that I can't find this [God's Power] to advance to a high level of arcane solution, but now I'm dozing off and hitting the pillow!
.......
Capone also took out a few treasures and put them on the auction table. Seeing that Raymond looked strange, he asked, "Boy Raymond, do you know these things?"
Under normal circumstances, when ordinary people look at these strange and weird things, they will definitely be more confused than surprised.
After all, even those [great polymaths] don’t know a few of these things, and it’s even harder for ordinary people to identify them.
But in Raymond's eyes at this moment, apart from shock, there was no doubt at all about seeing a strange object.
This is very surprising.
Raymond didn't say too much and said: "Yeah. I know some..."
"Oh, do you know some?"
Capone obviously heard the implication and knew that this guy was probably hiding his clumsiness.
His eyes flashed with a trace of amusement, and he asked: "Boy Raymond, what do you think...are the things worth exchanging for?"
When Raymond heard this, he immediately knew the boss's plan, and his eyes lit up at the same time.
These treasures, those who take them out may not fully understand their value.
Therefore, it is very likely that their price... is far lower than the actual value of the treasure!
Isn't this the legendary "picking up leaks"?
...
In this way, Raymond and Capone hit it off and started their journey of picking up leaks.
Raymond Bearer identified the treasures, and then Capone began to bargain and buy those useful and valuable treasures.
This search for leaks has yielded great rewards!
If others knew the value of those things they bought, they might not immediately regret it...
After buying several items, it was finally the turn of the statue.
It's a pity that [Fire Emperor] Idra is obviously a discerning person.
"I think everyone in the industry has heard of [God's Power], which is the power of the spiritual god that makes the top level helpless..."
The Eighth Emperor introduced his treasure with a proud look on his face, "And this bronze statue I found from an ancient mythological ruins. Because it is well preserved, it also contains a lot of mysterious power..."
After Idra's introduction, the whole hall immediately fell into whispers.
"It's actually [God's Power]. This is a rare treasure..."
"Although the baby is a baby, this thing must be usable."
"Yeah, except for those guys like the Twelve Sages, I haven't heard of anyone who can control this kind of power of the gods..."
"..."
There are many people who are curious, but no one who is really interested.
Although the thing is good, this [God's Power] is a super power that even the top extraordinary beings in Sequence 0 can't do anything about. Even if the "Endless Eight Emperors" hold it in their hands, it has no effect at all.
This thing has troubled Capone for twenty years, and he is extremely familiar with nature.
Originally, he had no interest in this thing at all, but suddenly a message came to his mind that Raymond wanted to exchange for this treasure: "Senior Capone, I want to get this thing!"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Capone showed a thoughtful expression and nodded slightly.
At this time, he turned his gaze back, looked at the statue calmly for a while, and then asked casually: "Idra, what do you want to change this thing for?"
Idra: "I need to change to a fire-based magic weapon!"
"Tsk tsk..."
Capone didn't agree immediately, with a look of disgust on his face, he lowered the price and said: "Anyone who buys this thing can only use it as a decoration. If I want to exchange it for the fire-type magic weapon, I'm afraid the price will be a bit high..."
"This thing is of no use to those who are useless; but if one can control this [God's Power], it will definitely be a treasure more precious than the treasure of law... It is impossible to sell it cheaply."
Idra didn't care, and responded with a shrewd light in his eyes.
As he spoke, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he added in a nonchalant tone: "If no one exchanges, then I will continue to put it on my boat."
If Capone hadn't taken action frequently before, I guess this method of keeping prices down would still be useful. But he was the one who bought the most things tonight, and the others were not fools, and they roughly guessed that he might have seen something.
In the competition between masters, Capone knew that he would not get any advantage as soon as he opened his mouth, and shrugged with regret on his face.
However, enough advantages have been taken, and the price should still be paid.
At this time, the "Seven Endless Emperors" on the side also started gossiping curiously.
"Capone, you made a lot of moves tonight, do you know what the use of this thing is?"
"Ouch, old brother, you are not kind. I always felt that I suffered a big loss when I exchanged those treasures for me... Anyway, they have already been traded. Tell me, what are the treasures I just sold you?
Isn’t there some trick that I didn’t see?”
"..."
Hearing these words,
Who knows who will tell the truth? Capone followed up and said: "Hey, this is not... I won a few big victories before and made a lot of money. I have a lot of money and no place to spend it, so I might as well buy some treasures and display them for eye candy.
..”
Everyone: "..."
It was nonsense, but since Lei Meng was bound to get the thing, he still had to get it.
After saying that, he waved his hand proudly, "Forget it, I happen to have one of the Fire Law Treasures in my hand, just change it..."
...
Raymond never dreamed that the high-end exchange meeting, which was originally just for him to meet people, would be so fruitful.
Not only did he get an [Ice Soul Fruit], but he also got a copy of Haines' Notes, and now, he even got an ancient statue with a lot of [God's Power].
Complete digestion of these three things will definitely take his strength to a higher level!
This "high-end exchange meeting" also reached its climax when the eight emperors exchanged their treasures.
"Everyone, here are the final auction items I prepared for this exchange meeting..."
After everyone finished communicating, [Night King] Morgan finally took out the final treasure.
That thing was a strange plant that looked like a piranha, and there was a dark red fruit with a spiral pattern hanging on the branch.
Obviously, from the appearance, this thing looks like a "devil fruit".
But obviously, Devil Fruits have no roots or stems, so the fruit growing on the branches is definitely not a Devil Fruit!
Moreover, no matter how rare the Devil Fruit is, it is impossible to appear as the finale treasure at such a high-end exchange meeting.
In the midst of everyone's doubtful gazes, [Night King] Morgan cleared his throat and came on stage, creating enough of a mysterious atmosphere, and then said: "Don't underestimate this fruit, it is a treasure that can change the situation of the future war...
"
...
Others were confused, but Raymond in the audience saw the origin of the thing at a glance, raised his eyebrows, and thought to himself: "Artificial Devil Fruit?"
It turns out that Morgan initiated this "Seven Emperors Sea Meeting" to promote this hugely profitable thing?
