The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 451: Land Deed
The Double Demon Empress was somewhat hesitant. He knew that the Necromancer Emperor was here to cause trouble, but he did not want to offend the old demon. However, it seemed that the man was eager to make things difficult for her.
If he were to lower himself in this situation, everyone would feel that he was afraid of the Necromancer Emperor. And if he fought that old demon, he would probably attack out of anger.
As he was in a dilemma, a soft voice suddenly echoed within the auction house.
“The Heavenly Sword Tower is attracted to this chimera skull. We bid two hundred and sixty million Blood Stones.”
Lu Sulan and Can Ye were both shocked by the sudden turn of events. Hestia, who normally had a smiling expression now had an evil expression on her face. They also sensed that his aura had suddenly become unstable.
Can Ye glanced at his Senior Brother helplessly, but the latter simply shook his head without saying anything.
Hm?
The Necromancer Emperor frowned after hearing that voice. He somehow felt alarmed by the aura coming from the VIP room of the Heavenly Sword Tower. He wondered who this woman was …
‘The man from this Heavenly Sword Tower is too much!’ The Necromancer Emperor gritted his teeth, but he held back his anger. He wanted to see their boss before he made a move. He may be old, but he's not losing his mind…
Upon seeing the Necromancer Emperor speechless, the Double Demon Empress heaved a sigh of relief.
Lou Baiqing also took this opportunity to end the deal. “Two hundred million sixty million go once!”
“... go twice!”
“Congratulations to the Heavenly Sword Tower for obtaining the chimera skull for two hundred and sixty million Blood Stones!” Lou Baiqing said as she wiped the sweat on her forehead.
Hestia immediately regained clarity. He then shot an apologetic look towards Lu Sulan and Can Ye. “Sorry, do we still have enough resources for this land?”
Lu Sulan nodded lightly. “It's okay. We should have enough land, but are you alright Sister Hestia?” He asked as he looked at Hestia with a probing look. He wondered what made Hestia react that way.
Hestia smiled at him and replied. “Of course. I can't stand that old devil's ugly voice.”
Lu Sulan and Can Ye were both speechless at hearing his reply, but they decided not to press this matter. They could ask him later after the auction was over.
The auction continued and everything went well. The Necromancer Emperor also fell silent after that short conversation.
“For the last item of the auction today, we present to you the land deed for the Poison Valley region. As you probably know, the Poison Valley joined the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family in their rebellion. However, their Valley Lord and most of their Elders died in that war, leaving the Poison Valley in chaos. Now, this large piece of land will be auctioned for four hundred million Blood Stones and each ascension should be at least ten million Blood Stones!” Lou Baiqing said with a big smile on her face. This land deed was like a hot potato in their hands, so the Demon Empress decided to auction it off.
Everyone was shocked when they heard Lou Baiqing. The Poison Valley region was not only large, but it was also rich in natural resources. However, they knew that only those in the VIP room had the capital to fight for this land.
“Four hundred twenty million Blood Stones!”
“Four hundred and fifty million Blood Stones!”
To everyone's surprise, the Necromancer Emperor strangely kept silent throughout the entire bidding for the land deed. In the end, the Heavenly Sword Tower bought a land deed for seven hundred million Blood Stones! Guests can shake their heads helplessly when the deal is done.
The auction ended and the guests started to leave one by one. Only they buy the remaining items.
“Lord Lou, can we use the True Crystal as a replacement? We don't bring enough Blood Stones.” Lu Sulan asked with a smile. He was glad that no problems occurred during the auction.
Lou Baiqing's eyes twinkled after hearing her words. Blood Stones were abundant in the Crimson Fiend Continent, but True Crystals were not so easy to find here. Although the values were mostly the same, True Crystals were a little harder to find. He wasn't stupid enough to reject Lu Sulan's offer.
“No problem!” Lou Baiqing replied directly. He was afraid that Lu Sulan would suddenly change his mind.
Lu Sulan smiled and gave him a storage ring containing a Blood Stone and True Crystal. “This is it. You can check it first.”
“No need. I trust you guys.” Lou Baiqing received the storage ring and immediately kept it.
“Thank you. We're leaving now, Lord Lou. Goodbye to.” Just as Lu Sulan, Hestia, and Can Ye were about to leave, Lou Baiqing suddenly said.
“Wait! His Majesty would like to speak to Elder Hestia.”
The three looked at each other and nodded their heads.
“Good. I'll talk to the Demon Empress. You two can wait for me here.” Hestia said softly.
Lou Baiqing then led Hestia towards the secret room inside the auction house. “Your Majesty, I brought Elder Hestia with me.”
“Bring Elder Hestia into.” A voice sounded inside the secret room.
Lou Baiqing opened the door and let Hestia in before closing it again.
Hestia looked at the Demon Empress indifferently. In fact, he still found it difficult to maintain his composure in front of the demons. After he recovered his memories from his past life, Hestia began to hate the demons even more!
“Is there anything you need from me?” Hestia asked with a cold look.
The Demon Empress was confused by Hestia's change in attitude. Did he do anything that offended him?
