Gao Jing turned around and saw a dwarf man wearing linen standing next to him, smiling flatteringly at him, with a pair of blue-purple eyes full of flattery.
He is only about ten meters tall, about the same as a four- or five-year-old child of an ordinary giant, but his appearance is around thirty years old.
Gao Jing was not surprised because he had seen similar dwarfs in the Capital of Kings.
The dwarfs are also a member of the human race. They are probably an example of the failure of giant evolution. Their numbers are very small but they are not extinct.
It is said that the dwarfs first lived in caves, and later some dwarfs entered the giant cities to live.
It is normal for the dwarf tribe to exist in the ancient Yinxu City.
In the city of giants, the dwarfs belong to the bottom of society, and their jobs are very menial, such as cleaning sewers, cleaning, cultivating crops, feeding livestock, etc.
Although they do all hard and dirty work, the giants generally have a bad impression of the dwarfs.
I think these little dwarfs are very cunning and like to lie and deceive.
And the best at betrayal!
Gao Jing became interested in the guy in front of him: "Guide? Do you know what I am doing here?"
The dwarf man rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Master Wizard, aren't you here to participate in the blood moon auction?"
"Blood Moon Auction?"
Gao Jing was slightly startled: "What is that?"
The dwarf man was a little surprised, and then said with a smile: "The blood moon auction is..."
He only said a few words, then immediately stopped talking, stretched out his right hand and spread it in front of Gao Jing.
Gao Jing smiled.
Everyone can understand this gesture, and the dwarfs certainly live up to their reputation as cunning.
Taking out a shell coin and throwing it into the opponent's hand, Gao Jing said, "Let's talk about it."
The dwarf man smiled and narrowed his eyes. He held the shell and pointed to the side: "Sir, let's go over there and talk."
The place the dwarf man pointed to was a tavern.
Gao Jing followed the other party to the tavern and found a seat in the corner to sit down.
Interestingly, the stools in this tavern are divided into two types: high and low. Although the dwarf man is not sitting at the same level as Gao Jing on the high stool, Gao Jing does not have to lower his head to talk to him.
"First give me and this distinguished wizard Lord two glasses of fine ale!"
As soon as we sat down, the dwarf man greeted the waiter in the tavern very familiarly: "Please order more food and drinks, it's up to you."
After saying that, he asked Gao Jing flatteringly: "Sir, do you think this is okay?"
Although he knew clearly that this guy was just eating and drinking to get some free money, Gao Jing didn't care about this little money.
He nodded to the bartender to show his approval.
While the waiter was bringing the wine and serving the food, Gao Jing tapped the table with his staff: "You can say it now."
There was a bit of impatience in his tone.
The dwarf man quickly told Gao Jing about the blood moon auction.
It turns out that every year when the blood moon is at its fullest, the Blood Moon Society will hold a grand auction in the ancient Yinxu City.
The auction items are diverse, including witchcraft tools, potions, materials, secret techniques,...
There are even slaves.
The items in the auction are not ordinary goods. Most of them are entrusted by customers. Blood Moon will only take commissions regardless of the origin.
Therefore, the annual blood moon auction attracts many people to the ancient Yin Ruins City.
This year's Blood Moon Auction will be held in just three days!
The dwarf man looked at Gao Jing as if he was visiting the ancient Yinxu City for the first time, so he guessed that Gao Jing was here to participate in the Blood Moon Auction.
"This blood moon auction will feature top-notch witchcraft and secret techniques."
The dwarf man lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "It is said that there are also tree species of the Tree of Ten Thousand Ancestors!"
The tree species of the Tree of All Ancestors!
Gao Jing was really shocked this time.
He originally just wanted to learn more about the ancient Yinxu City through the other party, so as to facilitate the pursuit of the target of the mission.
I never expected to hear such a thing.
The Tree of Ten Thousand Ancestors is a towering giant tree that stands in the center of the inner city of the Capital of Kings. It is the root of all the Mother Trees of Life.
The Tree of Ten Thousand Ancestors bears fruit once every ten years, and it bears five tree seeds at one time. When planted, the tree seeds grow up to become the Mother Tree of Life.
One can imagine how valuable it is.
In the Judgment Pavilion of the Temple of Ten Thousand Witches, the most precious item that can be exchanged for meritorious deeds is the Ten Thousand Ancestor Tree Seed!
It is really incredible that such a treasure would appear at an auction in the ancient Yinxu City.
But Gao Jing felt that the dwarf man was telling the truth.
Touching his chin, Gao Jing asked: "If I want to participate in the blood moon auction, what do I need?"
Wanzu tree species are definitely not affordable in Gaojing.
But since I'm here, it's okay to join in the fun.
"Invitation card."
The dwarf man immediately replied: "Only those with a blood moon invitation are eligible to bid in the blood moon auction."
Gao Jing was disappointed: "I don't have a blood moon invitation."
The dwarf man looked around and lowered his voice again: "Master Wizard, if you want to participate in the blood moon auction, I have the connections to get an invitation."
"Really."
Gao Jing smiled, picked up the ale on the table and took a sip.
"real."
Seeing Gao Jing's disapproving look, the dwarf man seemed to have been greatly wronged and swore: "Master Wizard, what I said is true. If you don't believe it, I can swear to the blood moon!"
"How about this."
Gao Jing put down his wine glass and said: "If you really have a way to get me an invitation, just tell me how many shells it costs, but if you lie to me..."
The dwarf man suddenly felt that the wizard in front of him turned into a terrifying beast in an instant, and he was overwhelmed by the violent and bloody aura.
There was great fear in his heart, and he felt like he was falling into an ice cave, and he almost peed on the spot!
"You know the consequences."
Gao Jing regained his momentum and looked meaningfully at the earth-colored dwarf man in front of him.
The sweaty dwarf man nodded repeatedly and stammered: "No, I will never dare to deceive you. I will go to get the invitation right now. Please, please don't worry!"
"very good."
Gao Jing smiled lightly: "Then go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, okay!"
The dwarf man jumped off the stool as if there was a thorn in his butt and hurriedly ran out of the tavern.
Gao Jing actually didn't really care about whether the other party could come back with the invitation letter. He didn't come here to participate in the auction.
While drinking ale, Gao Jing quietly summoned Nine Wings.
Under the control of his spiritual consciousness, the nine wings that became spiritual light passed through the wall of the tavern silently, searching for the target's aura in the ancient Yinxu city.
Previously, at Gao Jing's request, Lingxiu re-condensed Quinn's aura and gave it to Nine Wings for recording.
So as long as you follow this breath, you will definitely find the target!
But more than an hour later, Gao Jing realized that something was in trouble.
