When night fell over the ancient Yinxu City, Gao Jing walked out of the hotel where he was staying.
He looked up at the night sky and saw a full blood moon hanging high in the sky, emitting a strange light.
Today is the largest and fullest time of the year when the blood moon is the largest and fullest. The day is like August 16th in the main world.
It is said that on this day, many strange things will happen in the boundless wilderness. The power of monsters and ghosts becomes extremely powerful, and no one dares to leave the city where they live easily.
And tonight is also the day of the Blood Moon Auction in Ancient Yinxu City.
Gao Jing has been waiting here for three days.
In the past three days, he has been walking around the city and learned a lot about this chaotic city.
I hope I can gain something tonight.
Stopping a passing beast cart on the roadside, Gao Jing threw a shell coin to the cart driver: "Take me to the Temple of the Moon."
The Blood Moon Society regards the blood moon as the object of belief and worship. For this reason, they built a large-scale Moon Temple in the ancient Yinxu City for sacrifice and worship.
The Temple of the Moon is also the home base of the Blood Moon Society.
The annual blood moon auction is held in the Temple of the Moon.
"Okay, Lord Wizard."
The coachman took the shellfish and replied respectfully: "Please sit tight."
He drove Gao Jing towards the Temple of the Moon, and at the same time, he waved the whip in his hand and whipped the passers-by in front of him: "Get out!"
The orc was beaten until his face was covered in blood, and he fell to the ground and howled in pain.
Instead of helping, other passers-by looked at her with mocking eyes.
The order of the ancient Yinxu City is very different from other giant cities. Only the strong will be respected here, the weak will be trampled like dirt, and it is normal for the road to be filled with dead ditches.
The driver driving this animal cart was a tough totem warrior. He had a disdain for Gao Jing, a wizard, but he had a completely different look when facing ordinary civilians.
The Moon Temple is located near the center of the ancient Yinxu City. There are seven wizard towers of different heights erected here.
Gao Jing came here two days ago and secretly used the spiritual network to explore it.
These wizard towers were the control nodes and core of the ancient Yinxu City's defense formation. Gao Jing sensed at least three powerful auras - representing three legendary beings.
This does not mean that there are only three legends in the ancient Yinxu City, because Gao Jing does not dare to extend the spiritual network too deep.
And there are some areas that his spiritual network cannot penetrate.
The water in this city is very deep.
The beast cart stopped in front of the Moon Temple.
It is said that the predecessor of the Temple of the Moon was the Temple of the Sun in the ancient Yinxu City. It was later occupied by the Blood Moon Society and renovated and rebuilt, resulting in the current magnificent temple.
After getting off the carriage, Gao Jing walked along the long stone steps to the entrance of the Moon Temple.
Two gargoyles squatted on the stone pillars at the door, one on the left and one on the right, staring at the people who came here with their scarlet eyes.
If the blood moon curse on Gao Jing hadn't been eliminated, I'm afraid he would have become the target of public criticism now!
Gao Jing calmly handed over the invitation letter to the guardian of the temple.
At the same time, he was ready to escape.
Although the dwarf man said that this invitation is genuine, anyone who holds it can participate in the blood moon auction.
But Gao Jing also has to consider the possibility of the other party being deceived.
The caretaker was also a black-robed wizard. He took the invitation from Gao Jing, then took out a book-like witchcraft, opened it, and placed the invitation into the pages of the book.
The next second, the invitation emitted a faint blood-colored light, and the Blood Moon emblem was condensed on top.
"Welcome to the Blood Moon Auction."
The black-robed wizard took half a step back, holding the witchcraft weapon in his right hand and pressing his left hand on his chest before saluting Gao Jing: "Please come in."
A pretty maid in a white dress came forward and saluted: "Sir, please come with me."
Under the guidance of this maid, Gao Jing walked into the Moon Temple.
Normally, the Temple of the Moon is not open to the public, and only members of the Blood Moon Society and the so-called believers of the Moon God can enter.
Today, as long as you have an invitation letter, you can enter the room.
The main venue of the Blood Moon Auction is located in the main hall of the Moon Temple. It has been arranged into a circular auction venue, and there are ordinary seats and VIP seats.
When Gao Jing came in, most of the seats were already occupied.
Those participating in the Blood Moon Auction included wizards, warriors, nobles, and businessmen. Many of them wore masks and were obviously unwilling to reveal their true colors.
Gao Jing did not wear a mask, but he adjusted his appearance before entering the ancient Yinxu City.
For a legend, it couldn't be easier.
In fact, unless one can completely cover one's aura and extraordinary fluctuations, such cover-up is not reliable.
Otherwise, Yue Zhong and others would not have stopped in front of the ancient Yinxu City.
The invitation letter held by Gao Jing was not of VIP standard, so it was an ordinary seat, and the location was at the corner.
But this does not affect the auction at all. There is a book placed on the small table in front of the seat. As long as you place your hand on it, you can communicate with the auctioneer to bid. It is very simple and convenient.
The maid who brought Gao Jing also kindly reminded him that if he doesn't have enough money, he must not just bid the price, otherwise he will be in trouble if he can't pay.
As for what the trouble was, she didn't say it directly, but she knew the consequences after thinking about it.
After Gao Jing sat down at the seat numbered 357, the maid brought him drinks and snacks.
The service is very attentive.
However, Gao Jing knew nothing about the items that would be auctioned tonight, and the Blood Moon Society did not provide an auction catalog.
Gao Jing didn't care about this, because he didn't come here for the auction in the first place.
More than half an hour later, the Hall of the Moon God was already packed, and the auction officially began.
Gao Jing has participated in auctions in the main world, but this is his first time in the big world.
Comparing the two worlds, there is not much difference. There is also an auctioneer on stage to preside over the auction.
It's just that this auctioneer is a high-ranking wizard!
The great wizard didn't say any nonsense, he directly announced the start of the auction, and then asked someone to deliver the first lot.
A void ring.
The starting price is five hundred gold coins!
"One thousand gold coins!"
"Fifteen hundred gold coins!"
"Two thousand gold coins!"
Without a warm-up prelude, the competition for the first lot became fierce, and the auction price of the Void Ring continued to rise.
Gao Jing was secretly speechless.
Leaving aside the main world, he is not considered a poor person in the big world, and he carries a lot of gold coins with him.
But he was instantly killed here.
Fortunately, Gao Jing didn't really want to take pictures and go back. When the atmosphere in the hall was getting higher and higher, he quietly summoned the Nine Wings to search for the target of the mission.
