Dominate the Treacherous Realm

　　 The lawyer has an auction list, and Mr. Augustus’s ring will be the final auction item, appearing in the third place from the bottom.

　　 "If no one bids, what should I do if the auction fails?"

　　 Jenkins asked in a low voice, and at the same time secretly glanced at Miss Silver Flute, who was sitting on the other end of the same row, who was Mrs. Frante. She was like an ordinary person participating in the auction, and she did not behave strangely.

　　 "Waiting for another time to be auctioned, the Viscount’s ring is of great value, and the auction house will definitely make this money. But if you arrange for another time, it is estimated that it will be a large-scale auction at the end of the month..."

　　The lawyer explained to Jenkins patiently, and at the same time pointed out on the list with his fingers which items were worth buying at this auction.

　　 He seemed to think that Jenkins came uncharacteristically, but actually wanted to buy something. It's a pity that Jenkins doesn't have...He does have 8,000 pounds in cash, but he doesn't intend to use it to buy antiques.

　　A glance with the real eye will know that all the things in the auction house are ordinary goods. This makes Jenkins even more puzzled about Miss Yindi's desperate efforts to pool money, not only hacking with him, but even selling his own house for what it is.

　　 He will not deliberately compete with women for auction items, and come here only to verify the information of the female hunter. But curiosity, like the appetite for chocolate, has no end.

　　 Before the auction officially started, Jenkins also chatted with Attorney Onis about the banking industry and discussed the impact of the Fabry scam on the banking industry in the future. Mr. Lawyer is also very interested in this topic. He is very knowledgeable and has been in the lawyer industry for many years. Looking at banking issues, he can raise many questions that Jenkins can't see.

　　 Of course, Jenkins is most interested in pet insurance. Although he will do his best to ensure the safety of the chocolate, it is also very important to buy an insurance.

　　Chocolate was listening in on Jenkins's legs with ears. When I heard the amount of ordinary pet insurance, I felt that the money should be more cost-effective to buy desserts.

　　 The auction is far more boring than Jenkins imagined. There are no jealous nobles, no robbers with unpredictable hearts, and no unknown treasures. In the small hall, there are only bidders who have not yet woken up and auctioneers who are trying to liven up the atmosphere. The most active creature should be chocolate. It eats too much in the morning, so it has to move on Jenkins's knee.

　　 There are no treasures in the small auction hall. Most of the auction items are similar to those in the backyard warehouse of the old antique shop, but they are more expensive. In the hard shouting of the auctioneer, a few people raised the sign in their hands, and everything was in order.

　　 "It's not as lively as I thought."

　　 Jenkins relaxed his body and leaned back a bit, and kept playing slap games with chocolate with his right hand.

He didn’t miss anything. First of all, he became interested in auction number three, a cat food bowl 300 years ago, but he immediately thought that chocolate was never eaten in a cat food bowl. Jenkins just adopted chocolate last fall. At that time, the one I bought for it. The price of the thing is not cheap, it is probably related to the intricate decorative pattern on the outer surface of the vessel.

　　 And now it is placed under the drain outside the house to drain rainwater and melted snow, otherwise it can only be put into the basement to accumulate dust.

　　 "Speaking of which, before the rainy season, I have to find someone to modify the drainage pipe. When it rained last fall, the sound of the water flow made me sleepless."

　　 Thinking endlessly, I became interested in auction item No. 10, a pair of bone rings. Although it is an ordinary item, and there is no historical significance, but the unique shape is in line with Jenkins's aesthetics. It's just that the price is a bit more expensive, and Jenkins is unwilling to wear human bone jewelry on his hands, so he can only give up.

　　 This auction cannot be considered a success. Before auction number 32, the ring of Viscount Augustus appeared, more than half of the 31 items were sold out. During this period, Miss Yindi never raised a placard, and kept looking down at the list of auction items in her hand, so her goal should be the last few truly valuable antiques.

Chapter 850 The 833th Chapter Antiquities Crown

　　 Fortunately, the ring from the relic of Viscount Augustus was finally sold at a very high price. The two middle-aged businessmen who offered the offer seemed to be at odds with each other, vying to raise the price of the ring. In the end, both the winners and losers looked triumphant. I want to come to these two people, who are rich people who only treat the golden pound as a number.

　　 There are 34 items sold in the whole auction. After the ring is a pure gold wine glass, the body of which is also inlaid with five or six gems of different colors. According to the auctioneer, this is the wine glass used by Slok II of the ancient Xicali Empire when he committed suicide by poisoning about 500 years ago.

　　 But obviously no one is interested in this kind of thing. The auctioneer yelled three times in his throat, but still no one was willing to bid. He could only regret to announce that it was unsold.

　　 "Oh, God!"

　　 After the last lot was displayed in a glass box, Hall 1 in the stagnant pool finally made waves. Sighs were uttered one after another, even Jenkins leaned forward subconsciously, trying to see the treasure in the glass box clearly.

　　 was displayed, impressively a luxurious crown. Dove-egg-sized rubies are inlaid at the top of the front of the crown. In addition, the metal is also dotted with a surprising number of gems.

　　 It looks beautiful, reflecting a dazzling light in the soft light above. Just being there, people can't help sighing. The simplicity and nobility contained in it are unmatched by any jewelry.

　　 "That's it, it seems that the lost ancient kingdom-the handed down crown of the Desman Kingdom."

　　 Mr. Onis was very excited and said to Jenkins that even if this crown has nothing to do with the two of them, the two of them would not be able to spend enough money to buy things, but it is still worth the excitement.

　　 "It's so beautiful."

　　 "Yes, among all the crowns I want to survive, only the crowns of the three kingdoms can be compared with this. Oh, this is a work of art..."

　　 The Kingdom of Dessman is a small country that existed in the 3rd to 7th centuries of this era. There are countless mysterious and strange legends surrounding this country. For people of this age, those legends and myths are no different, and archaeologists are not even sure that this country really exists.

　　 Because of this, the "Deisman Kingdom" cannot add a huge to astonishing value to the crown in front of you. Its starting price is just judged by multiplying the price of general antiquities by 1.5.

　　 But when the price was announced, he couldn't help taking a breath without seeing any foreign visitors from the market. That is a very large number, so huge that he is reluctant to recall the second time, because he certainly can't afford it.

　　 When the bidding for this crown began, Jenkins realized that most of the people here came for this thing.

　　 Even Miss Yindi raised the number plate for the auction. This can explain her crazy fundraising. This is really a huge number.

　　 If Jenkins is not interested in the crown, it must be a lie. But at this sensitive time, he didn't want to get into other troubles.

　　 quietly watching the numbers being raised again and again, hesitating, flustered, determined, and confused, different moods were shown in the small auction room.

　　 It was Miss Yindi who got it in the end. The woman has been bidding since the beginning of the shoot, fully demonstrating that she is bound to win the crown. Although there were other competitors, as the price was raised again and again, Miss Yindi bought it at a price that was almost twice the market price.

　　 The market price is what the lawyer told Jenkins that although he has no money to buy it, he is also very interested in the crown and even knows some of its history.

　　 But anyway, this is an ordinary item. Before the end of the event of the undead, Jenkins did not want to explore how fascinating it was.

　　 The end of the crown auction means that this auction has come to an end. Jenkins can be regarded as a lively scene, but at least when he is with the lawyer, he doesn't feel sleepy anymore.

　　 It's only ten o'clock in the morning, but the weather is still very bad. Barely able to feel the warmer temperature, winter is really coming to an end.

　　 Jenkins has nothing to do today. Although he intends to go to the abandoned cemetery to look for the [Nun Shroud], the old man is right. Now I am out of town and there may be some big troubles.

　　 wandered around and wanted to go home, but then remembered the Mu Xin clue that he had bought in Mr. Corpse's party last time. The address was not far from the auction house, and Jenkins hesitated for a while and walked to the left at the intersection.

　　 Far away from the center of the city, the originally neat streets and scattered houses were immediately discounted. Only the steam pipe on the wall is the uniform shape of the city, which is one of the symbols of Nolan City.

　　 Jenkins’s goal is to sell flowers, birds, fish or small pets on the east side of Nolan on Pod Street. Jenkins heard Fini talk about this place. When she was a flower girl, she was at the intersection here every morning, waiting for the truck from the country to pull cheap and fresh flowers.

　　 It's almost noon now, and of course Jenkins can't see the little flower girl here. But after turning into the street, a mixture of fresh plant scents and animal scents immediately caused him to cover his nose.

　　 It's the end of winter, fresh flowers are expensive and scarce, so this street now mainly sells small animals.

Placed in the iron cage at the entrance of the store, the cats and dogs roar loudly; the shrewd businessman rubs his hands and discusses the price with the owner of the small shop; the well-dressed butler looks inquisitively at the ears of the pure-bred fold-ear cat; densely packed pet rats , Squeezed into the box in front of the sign and waited for the owner...

　　 Somehow, when I first walked down the street with chocolate, I could still hear noisy animal calls. But after walking for a while, these voices became a little faint inexplicably.

　　 Jenkins thought this was related to the powerful aura of chocolate, so he petted the cat, who had become more and more well-behaved recently. Chocolate immediately meowed softly, and Jenkins didn't notice that a few orange kittens huddled together and shivered in the cage behind him.

　　 There is plenty of time today, and there is no need for him to go straight to the goal to be suspicious. So I took chocolate to stroll around in the nearby store, but it seemed that Jenkins was paying attention to the behavior of other pet cats, which made the chocolate a little angry. It always treats cats lying in the cage or cats basking in the sun. With good intentions.

　　 Since the adoption of chocolate, the cat has remained healthy, so Jenkins did not have the opportunity to take him to the doctor. It happened that there was a sign of "Mr. Spencer's Pet Clinic" on 21 Pod Street, and he pushed the door in in spite of Chocolate's objection, and wanted the doctor to diagnose whether the cat was obese.

　　PS: Only when someone asks me to push the book in the background, I can feel that I have written a book for a year and a half (cover my face).

　　 Sato Asahara, a low-end player of "Horrorland", an accident made him a member of the crossing army, carrying the player panel into an NPC, and returning to the "Horrorland" open beta.

　　 Facing the overwhelming ghosts, demons, and ghosts, Sato Asahara resolutely walked the path of the Chosen One. If it weren’t for the player to appear, this book would be a serious and serious journey through the alien world...

How is this going?

　　 Facing the hellish opening, he started to panic!

Chapter 851 Chapter 834 Elderberry Heart

　　 The streets are full of strange smells, but the air in the clinic is very normal. It's just that there are a lot of people in the line. The kind middle-aged woman who received Jenkins at the door told him that it was best to send a letter to make an appointment before coming. Today, he might have to wait until the afternoon.

　　 Jenkins doesn't have so much time, so he can only turn around and leave. In fact, the receptionist at the clinic is very interested in chocolate and praised it as a rare small cat.

　　 But chocolate is still not touched by anyone except Jenkins. It insists on this.

　　 once again returned to the lively street, hesitated for a while or went into the alley to change his image, before proceeding towards his goal. That is a storefront that specializes in potted plants. Judging from the sign at the door, the owner should also maintain and maintain the garden.

　　 There is no smell of pet feces in the store, but it feels like a forest. The owner has carefully decorated the storefront, integrating the plants to be sold with the decoration, and the overall style is like a small wooden house in the forest.

　　 Thanks to the developed steam industry in this era, it is much easier to create a greenhouse environment than it was hundreds of years ago. Otherwise, you would not be able to see so many potted plants and vegetation at the end of winter.

When 　　 opened the door, there were three people in the store. Two of them were bending over to loosen the soil, while the older middle-aged people were reading books at the counter with their heads down.

　　 Jenkins thought that this was probably the boss, so he stepped forward and said:

　　 "Hello, I want to buy something."

　　 "Oh, hello guest, welcome, what do I need?"

　　 The owner was very polite, and Jenkins also took the opportunity to say hello and saw that the book he was reading was about winter plant cultivation.

　　 "Purple golden rowan grass."

　　 This is a real plant, the leaves are very beautiful like purple gold leaf, and the fragrance is pleasant. Because it is very rare, it is deeply loved by the ladies. When women hold salons or dance parties, if they can get purple golden rowan grass for decoration, they will definitely become the envy of friends in the near future.

　　 So far, Jenkins has only seen this plant in Miss Stuart’s study.

　　 "How much do you want?"

　　 The shopkeeper asked nervously.

　　 Jenkins did not speak, but reached out and made a strange gesture that did not show any number.

　　 The shopkeeper immediately looked at his face suspiciously, then nodded clearly, took two steps to the left to open the baffle of the counter, let Jenkins in, and then opened the door on the wall behind him.

　　 This shopkeeper is just an ordinary person, and the clerk he employs is also an ordinary person. But because they control the purchase channels of some rare plants, the gifters of Nolan City often visit here.

　　 The owner can get these things, and of course he also knows these people with supernatural powers. Anyway, there is money to be made, and he doesn't mind who actually bought his goods. It's just that when you want to buy sensitive goods, you need to make a code first. After all, there are many strange plants that are not suitable for ordinary people.

　　 Inside the door behind the counter is a small dark room. When Jenkins came in behind the shopkeeper, he was bending over to light the candle on the small round table.

　　 The two sat down together, and Jenkins took the cat off his shoulders and put it on the table. He was not worried that the cat would play with fire because of excessive curiosity. After all, he hadn't shown curiosity about the fireplace when he was at home.

　　 "What do I need? Oh, you are the first visitor. I must remind you that I do not sell illegal items prohibited by the church."

"I know."

　　 In fact, as long as the money is enough, the shopkeeper can even get the [Plague Seed].

　　 "I need a wooden heart for a thousand years."

　　 "Oh, this is really rare."

　　 The owner frowned, but did not express embarrassment.

　　 "What kind of variety do you want?"

　　 "It's okay, but Mu Xin must be complete. Don't cut a whole piece and sell it to me, I can tell."

　　 "Of course, guest, you don't have to worry..."

　　 The shopkeeper got up, took out a thin booklet from the upper shelf of the bookshelf at the edge of the candle light, and then turned to the back page in the dim light.

　　 "It is indeed in stock, but it may be troublesome..."

"You say."

　　 "The wooden heart is the wooden heart of the elderberry."

　　The rituals held by the gifters using Mu Xin are mostly related to [life]. Although elderberry is also a plant, its nature causes it to display some characteristics related to [curse] and [dead] when participating in rituals.

　　 That’s why the shopkeeper hesitated, but what Jenkins thought of was not the legend about elderberry, but Miss Audrey’s divination about [cemetery] [black cat] [elderberry].

　　 The divination she mentioned involves a major event that threatens the safety of the city, and obviously has nothing to do with the potion Jenkins wants to deploy. But the word "elderberry" is considered to have taken root in Jenkins's heart, and Mr. Salimanda the elf did not specify the type of tree heart.

　　 "I want it, how much is it?"

　　 "Are you sure? Once the goods in this shop are sold, they will not be returned."

"I know."

"......Well."

　　 The shopkeeper said, and handed Jenkins the photo held in the thin book in his hand. The black-and-white photo was a small tree that seemed to have withered.

　　 "Elderberry hearts are not easy to sell, so I can give you a discount. But after all, it is a thousand years old, even after the discount..."

　　 "Wait, this tree won't die, right?"

　　 Jenkins is a little worried that the dead tree will affect Mu Xin.

　　 "No, it is dying, but at least not yet."

　　 The shopkeeper said, without giving Jenkins a chance to ask again, he gave the number directly:

"8000 pounds, this is the most favorable price. Guest, since you want to buy, you should also know that the lowest price of this material is at least three times this. 8000 pounds, one-handed delivery, one copper penny can no longer not enough!"

　　 This is indeed an extremely favorable price, and Jenkins has no reason to refuse. But now the elderberry that is about to die is not in Nolan, not even in the kingdom of Fedictelli. Jenkins has to get his goods, at least next week, he can only pay the deposit first, and then wait for the owner to send the letter.

　　 Of course, the address of the letter is still the tavern at the entrance of the black market, and it is impossible for Jenkins to leave his real address.

　　 After buying the last wooden heart, Jenkins has settled a big deal. As time went on, he became more and more curious about the potion, especially after discovering the elves' secret words in it, he couldn't wait to know the true effect of the potion.
