Chapter 63 Auction
Chapter 63 Auction
His voice was low and gentle, and at first glance, it really looked like some kind of creature from the dark.Rong Jin was startled by him, and then belatedly realized that this shit was trying to frighten him, his ears turned red all of a sudden, and he pushed him away angrily: "Not serious!"
There are more vacant places in City Z than expected. The population density here is low, and most of the places are vacant.For example, the auction house is in a magnificent basement.It looks inconspicuous from the outside, but once you enter it, you will find that the decoration here is no less than any palace.
This place is probably also the territory of vampires, and all the vampires who come in and out are tall, leggy, and red-eyed.There are men and women, all in formal attire.
Rong Jin and Lou Fuyan met a lot of vampires on the way. The closer they were to their destination, the more vampires they met. When they finally reached that street, there were basically no humans in sight.When they saw Lou Fuyan, all the vampires showed a look of respect.
Rong Jin noticed a few young men in black windbreakers standing at the end of the street, their silver badges were very conspicuous.Rong Jin recalled it for a while, and then remembered that it seemed to be the uniform of the Blood Hunting Organization.
"Does the Blood Hunt know about [Yeqing]?" Rong Jin turned to Lou Fuyan.
Lou Fuyan nodded: "When I signed the contract with them before, one of the conditions they put forward was to know the time and place of each [Night Celebration]. In these years, they will send people to supervise each [Night Celebration]. But they will not enter the clubhouse, just inspect the surrounding area. In the past [Ye Qing] the demon party and the secret party would always conflict, and sometimes hurt ordinary humans. Thanks to them, [Ye Qing] has been much better these years gone."
The entrance to the auction is an inconspicuous wooden door.The whole street is full of wooden buildings, which is probably a retro street. City Z has also started to focus on the development of tourism in recent years. The city's economy is backward, and if there are any natural geographical features, it will naturally not attract tourists.The mayor thought of a way. Since there are no scenic spots and historical sites, they will find a way to create some scenic spots and historic sites. As a result, similar scenic streets have been built in uninhabited places in the city.
When the flow of people here increases in a few years, the blood race's [Night Celebration] location may be further relocated.
After entering the wooden door, there will be a spiral staircase leading directly to the ground.At first, the surrounding walls were all shoddy. Occasionally, small clods of soil fell from the ceiling, and the steps were also uneven. After just two steps, people had no desire to continue going down.
Lou Fuyan covered Rong Jin's head with one hand, and Rong Jin noticed that his palm seemed to have a faint halo.In this way, the dust falling from the ceiling would not be able to fall on Rong Jin.
Creatures like vampires are really the darlings of heaven. Not only are they unparalleled in beauty and immortality, but they can also perform tricks at will.
After turning around a few times, the eyes suddenly became clear.The steps were paved with marble tiles, and a row of well-made oil lamps hung on both sides of the walls.On the ceiling, mysterious and beautiful reliefs are carved out of white plaster.Strings of sparkling things adorn the edges of the steps.
Rong Jin was slightly dumbfounded, the owner here is really generous, he even used diamonds to decorate the steps.
"This underground auction house is the property of the Toreador family. They are rich and powerful, with hundreds of millions in every minute." Lou Fuyan explained to Rong Jin in a low voice, "Their ancestors used to be priests used by the royal family. In fact, It’s funny, the blood race was originally the most unrelated to the profession of priests, but their ancestors could read people’s hearts at that time, and they could also juggle and see things that humans couldn’t see. The human mind at that time was feudal, and they agreed that this group Vampires are the legendary priests, so they were offered up. The royal family valued them even more, and accumulated countless treasures. Later, during World War II, many treasures of the royal family were lost, and the treasures retained by the Toreador family became Priceless."
These days, it's true that any cat or dog can act as a magic stick.Rong Jin thought to himself, and thought of Lou Fuyan's grievance when he said that he met a magic stick that day, and wanted to laugh.
When you go down to the last step, there is a bar-style registration desk in front of you.Everyone will register before entering, then take the mask assigned to them, and then enter the venue.
"The leader of the secret party, Lou Fuyan. This is a newly converted mixed-blood vampire from the Ventrue clan, Rongjing, glorious Rong, Jingjingjing." Lou Fuyan said to the woman at the front desk.
When the man saw Lou Fuyan, he immediately smiled like a flower.He registered for him with a smile on his face, and handed over two Venetian half-face masks.
Rong Jin knew that Lou Fuyan concealed his identity to protect him.Blood clan society is no different from human society, there will be many unexpected dangers, it is better to be careful.
"Auction...why do you wear a mask?" Rong Jin put the mask on his face, revealing only half of his fair and compact face and a pair of black and beautiful eyes.
Lou Fuyan adjusted the angle of the mask for him, and put on the mask himself: "In order not to be recognized by others. Every clan has something that is expressly prohibited. For example, the Secret Party prohibits the auction of human beings, and the Demon Party prohibits the trading of silver products. As long as you wear a mask, no one will recognize who you are, and you can auction items banned by the clan openly. The bloodthirsty nature of the blood clan has been suppressed for a long time, and it also needs a way to vent."
Rong Jin nodded half-understood, and asked again: "Then...do you need to vent?"
Lou Fuyan looked at Rong Jin dumbfoundedly with a pair of dark red pupils, feeling that this ice-snow-smart little guy suddenly became silly: "The stronger the vampire, the more he can suppress his own nature. After a long time, this addiction The blood instinct is gone.”
"So that's the case." Rong Jin nodded.
The auction venue was very large, almost the size of a basketball court, filled with blood races.Some are clan leaders, some are accompanying blood clans.The lights in the venue were dim, and these people had more or less disguised themselves.Rong Jin could only recognize Zhuo Ran's figure.Among the vampire leaders, he is considered to be the younger generation, and his body and temperament are easily recognizable.
Other vampires are not so easy to identify.Rong Jin originally thought that Lou Fuyan's blond hair would be conspicuous, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the venue, he saw no fewer than ten blond hairs.There are many Europeans in the blood family, and blond hair is not uncommon.There are a few blood clans who are similar in shape to Lou Fuyan, which makes it even more difficult to identify them.
Lou Fuyan led Rong Jin to choose a seat at the back and sit down.As soon as they sat down, someone dressed as a waiter came over to give them a number plate and a voice changer.
After processing, the voice of the shouting price can change the original timbre, making it impossible for people to recognize the real identity.
I didn't expect the blood race to be unexpectedly careful in these aspects.
Zhuo Ran who was sitting in front seemed to recognize Lou Fuyan and Rong Jin, he turned his head and waved to them, then tilted his head to one side, falling asleep.
"The Brujah clan has never been interested in the regulations of [Yeqing]. The reason why Zhuo Ran came is to give face to other clans." Lou Fuyan whispered to Rong Jin.
Rong Jin turned to look at Lou Fuyan.The Venetian mask on his face covered half of his cheeks, revealing only a pair of red pupils and a small half of his face.No matter how long they have been together, Rong Jin always feels amazed when he sees Lou Fuyan's face.The finely crafted Venetian mask overshadowed his brilliance.Rong Jin felt a little regretful that he couldn't see that face that aroused the anger of both people and gods.
"Did you come here today to shoot something?" Rong Jin asked.
The corners of Lou Fuyan's lips curved: "My baby is so smart."
Rong Jin silently rolled his eyes, is there any other purpose for coming to the auction?
"I heard that the Malkvians have refined a new crystal, and I want to take a picture of it." Lou Fuyan brushed Rong Jin's earlobe with his finger, "This time the crystal has a certain protective effect, the protective effect last time was too weak, If I meet that kind of vampire with unknown origin again, and I happen to be far away from you, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."
Lou Fuyan is the perfect love partner that many girls dream of. He is gentle and strong, and he thinks of his lover in everything.Where can I find such a man.Rong Jin held Lou Fuyan's hand silently.If possible, he would also like to help Lou Fuyan instead of blindly being the protected party.He is also a man, and he also wants to give something for his lover.
Later blood races arrived one after another, gradually filling the entire venue.The real clan leader was among them, and the rest were escorts who came to cover for his leader.Some auction items are not convenient for the leaders to bid, so they can only be auctioned by the accompanying staff.
Yin Beiming and Jiang's two brothers and sisters also arrived shortly after, sitting in the seats right behind Rong Jin and Lou Fuyan.One is to facilitate the protection of the leader, and the other is to facilitate communication.
Yin Beiming's cell phone rang twice. He took out his cell phone and looked down. It was a message from Chu Huai.As soon as he opened it and read two lines, his face became extremely ugly.He stood up and grabbed the back of Lou Fuyan's chair, leaning into his ear: "SMS."
Lou Fuyan took his phone and looked at it, his eyebrows frowned slightly.
Rong Jin noticed Lou Fuyan's expression and asked, "What happened?"
"Honey, don't go back after [Night Celebration] is over, let's stay here and observe the situation." Lou Fuyan said.
It's not convenient to talk here, and no one knows if the nearby walls have ears, and they are afraid that someone with a heart will listen to the content of their conversation and analyze it.Lou Fuyan couldn't call Rong Jin by his real name, and he didn't say he wanted to go back to City A.Rong Jin also cooperatively did not disclose any information.
Rong Jin nodded and said nothing.
