Chapter 641 Star Stone

Chapter 641 Star Stone

In the huge venue, there was silence.

"It's just us?" Enzo looked around and found that there was no one in the audience, and couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"of course not."

Curtis shook his head and said, "This dimensional space is an auction house specially prepared for congressmen in the North. In order to respect personal privacy, each congressman will be in an independent space when entering here."

A thoughtful look appeared on Enzo's face.

He probably understood what Curtis meant. This dimensional space should have independent rules. It seemed to be in the same space, but every congressman who entered here was in an independent area.

The surrounding auditorium is a private venue for each member of Parliament.

Only the central high platform is shared by everyone. After the auction begins, the members auction items one by one.

"Be patient."

Curtis said, "At this stage, the Faceless Men are communicating with the MPs to collect items that need to be bid. In up to two hours, the auction will begin. If you have any items that need to be sold, you can also hand them in." To the Faceless Ones.”

Enzo thought for a moment and nodded.

Then, he summoned the Faceless Man and handed the sealing ball to him, and at the same time took out a burning heart from the space ring.

"Heart of Balor's Fire Demon?"

A trace of surprise appeared on Curtis's face, and he said in surprise: "This is a good thing. Where did you get it from?"

"It's just a fluke." Enzo said nothing more.

This heart of the Balor Fire Demon was a trophy when he went to the Lost Continent. At that time, in the Kingdom of God in the Lost Continent, he killed a Balor Fire Demon and collected its body.

The Balor Fire Demon is a lord-level demon.

Of the whole body, only this heart was the most valuable. As for the other things, Enzo had already used them in experiments.

"Sigh! What a pity."

Curtis shook his head and said, "This kind of precious material should be able to be bought for a big price at a century-old auction. This kind of annual auction is essentially just an exchange meeting between parliamentarians."

"Those big figures like the Speaker will basically not participate."

Enzo nodded with a thoughtful look on his face. After being promoted to the fourth-level All Souls Wizard, he needed some star stones as trading currency. He originally planned to throw the newly captured Hungry God to the auction.

It seems unnecessary now.

According to Curtis, most of the participants in the annual auction are fourth-level all-spiritual wizards. Speaker-level figures above fifth level will not easily appear at an auction of this level.

"In that case, let's do this." Enzo nodded.

The purpose of participating in this auction is mainly to see the world and at the same time exchange for some star stones as basic wealth.

The Faceless Man disappeared after taking away the auction items from Curtis and Enzo.

A few more hours passed.

The surrounding space suddenly distorted, Curtis's face was calm, the sky gradually fell into darkness, and the stars lit up like lights.

"It's about to begin." Curtis said.

On the high platform in the center of the auction room, a huge silver scale appeared, with a ghostly figure floating on it, as if it was imprisoned.

"Is this?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.

"Equivalent to a scale."

Curtis saw Enzo's doubts and took the initiative to explain, "In the First Era, when the gods ruled, the monetary system of human society was not perfect enough, so the God of Libra was born."

"That God of Libra is just a weak god."

"The true combat power is not even up to the level of a fourth-level life form, but it is indeed a god. It is said that it is a soul that comes from nowhere and was promoted to a god after accidentally receiving the divine fire."

"The God of Libra is weak in combat power, but he symbolizes fairness in transactions."

"Therefore, as soon as the concept of trading emerged in human society, the God of Libra began to absorb the power of faith and punish those profiteers who used bad means in transactions. Although he did not establish a church, he was respected by people."

"Until later, the age of the gods ended."

"The God of Libra, who has weak divine power, went into hiding during the invasion of the abyss demons, so he did not participate in the battle of Heavenly Mountain. After the rise of the wizard civilization, a god hunting operation was launched, and the God of Libra was also capture."

"However, this God of Libra has a peaceful personality."

"There is almost no threat to the wizarding civilization. In addition, the God of Libra actively chose to surrender. The parliament retained his self-will and just branded him to serve the wizarding civilization."

"The God of Libra gladly accepts this."

"Although he is just a weak god, the God of the Scales has his own authority. He can measure the value of items and attach divine power to the scales for wizards to exchange items of equal value."

Curtis slowly and briefly told the story of the God of the Scales.

Enzo looked thoughtful, and he immediately understood that the scale in the center of the auction house should be a scale with the power of the God of the Scales, which could measure the value of items.

"It's true that anything can become a god!" Enzo couldn't help but complain.

"Ha, don't underestimate the God of Libra."

Curtis chuckled and said, "In the multiverse, there are all kinds of gods, and each god has its own authority. Although the God of Libra is extremely weak in combat power, he is an absolutely fair existence."

Enzo nodded and agreed.

At the same time, I also learned more about the gods. After the age of the gods, wizards launched a god-hunting operation and hunted gods in the wizard world. Many gods who dared to resist eventually fell, but like the God of Libra and the Goddess of Spring, Such existences survived because they chose to surrender.

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

A sentence suddenly came to Enzo's mind. No one can change the direction of the times, but when faced with a choice, one needs to weigh the pros and cons.

The rise of wizard civilization is unstoppable.

Those fallen gods in ancient times ended up miserable just because they couldn't see this clearly. If they could make the right choice, they might be able to gain the eternity of losing their freedom like the God of Libra.

While Enzo was thinking, the auction had already begun.

"Following the principle of equivalent exchange, the transaction will begin now!"

A gentle voice came from the scale in the center of the auction house, and then two faceless men appeared in front carrying a shield.

Bang!

The bronze shield was still on the left side of the scale and immediately fell to the bottom.

"What does this mean?" Enzo asked.

"That's the way auctions are."

Curtis explained, "Members of the House throw the auction items onto the scales. If someone wants to buy, they can throw the items to the other side until the scales are completely equal, which means the deal is concluded."

Enzo raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised.

As the center of power in the northern continent, the Northern Parliament uses such a primitive method for the auction. Although it follows the principle of equal exchange, it does not seem to be absolutely fair, because the value of each item is different for different people. .

At the same time, the faceless man on the high platform also began to introduce the properties of the shield.

It was a shield of holy relic quality. It was a piece of equipment that a fourth-level wizard spent fifty years building. It could withstand attacks from third-level wizards, but if the enemy was a fourth-level wizard, it could only withstand a few times.

"Weak items." Curtis said disdainfully.

Enzo also nodded. The annual auction is essentially just an exchange of items between councilors. Sacred objects may be valuable equipment for third-level wizards, but most fourth-level wizards look down upon them.

"One hundred star stones."

After a while, someone finally made a bid, and a hundred star stones were thrown over. The scale immediately lifted slowly, but it did not reach a balanced state.

Enzo frowned and shook his head.

"The principle of equivalent exchange is the rule left by the ancestors." At this time, Curtis also saw Enzo's expression and said helplessly, "We follow the meaning of this sentence, but sometimes, this may also become shackles."

Just as Enzo thought before, different items have different values ​​for different people. The principle of equal exchange seems to represent fairness, but in fact there is absolute fairness in the world.

The balance teeters, and the congressman raises the price again.

Another hundred star stones were thrown up. This time the scale was finally balanced, and the bronze shield was obtained by the congressman. Due to the particularity of the space rules, Enzo could not know the other party's information, and he did not even know the man or woman. .

"Actually, in addition to the northern auction, there are also some small gatherings among members in private." Curtis said, "That kind of auction is not restricted by the scale and is relatively more free."

"I will introduce it to you later."

"Thank you, Mr. Curtis." Enzo said.

Having just been promoted to a fourth-level wizard, one thing Enzo needs to do after returning to the wizarding world is to integrate into the circle of fourth-level wizards as soon as possible. The importance of information and intelligence is obviously self-evident, and the crisis in the sea blue world has not been resolved yet. .

Soon, several more items were auctioned.

Curtis didn't seem very interested, because they were all sacred items, which didn't mean much to a fourth-level wizard. Almost every fourth-level wizard could make them.

And those fourth-level wizards who choose to buy them are mostly for use by their younger generations.

Even second-level wizards will establish wizard families, let alone fourth-level wizards. Behind any fourth-level wizard, there is a huge force. They not only enjoy the benefits brought by the force, but are also guardians.

"The auction item below is the Sealed Ball."

On the high platform, the Faceless Man placed a black crystal ball on one end of the scale, and then introduced: "A large amount of abyssal breath is sealed in it, which can be used for experiments or refining items."

The sealed ball begins to be auctioned.

However, the embarrassing thing is that no one has bid for a long time. The breath of the abyss is not too precious for a fourth-level wizard. If it is not for experiments or refining equipment, no one will collect these things.

A hint of helplessness also appeared on Enzo's face.

At this moment, someone finally made a bid. One councilor directly threw a hundred star stones onto the scales and obtained the sealed ball.

"I originally planned to go to the abyss."

Somewhere in the audience, a witch yawned and said, "The recently cultivated demonic creatures are reproducing slower and slower. I wonder if giving them some abyssal breath this time will be effective."

On the other side, a smile appeared on Enzo's face.

The Sealing Ball was sold, and he also received a hundred star stones, which converted into high-grade magic stones were about 10 million, which was equivalent to half a year's resource income from the war ghost world.

The price was not high, but Enzo was in a good mood.

Looking at the star stone sent back by the Faceless Men, Enzo looked thoughtful. This is the universal currency in the multiverse. It contains special energy and can be used in almost any world.

"It's amazing!" Enzo sighed.

Then, the auction continued, and one item after another was purchased by the congressmen, and some of the items failed to be auctioned.

"The following item is the Heart of the Demon Lord!"

After dozens of items were auctioned, it was finally the Devil's Heart's turn. When the burning heart was thrown onto the scales, and after a brief introduction by the Faceless Man, almost the next moment some council members chose to bid.

Five hundred star stones!

A thousand star stones!

Three thousand star stones!

The bidding of three consecutive congressmen failed to balance the scales. Enzo showed a thoughtful expression on his face. He seemed to finally understand the meaning of the principle of equivalent exchange, which is the absolute equality of value between items.

"This heart of Balor's Fire Demon is worth at least five thousand star stones."

Curtis stroked his chin and said, "The demon lord is a fourth-level life form. Even if a wizard wants to hunt him, he needs to spend a lot of energy and even take risks, so five thousand star stones are very reasonable."

While talking, another member of parliament chose to bid.

In the end, the Demon Lord's Heart was sold for 6,000 star stones, and a smile appeared on Enzo's face. This was equivalent to 600 million high-grade magic stones, and was the resource income of the War Ghost World for twenty years.

"Sure enough, plundering and hunting is the fastest way to accumulate wealth!"

Enzo couldn't help but sigh. When he originally owned the War Ghost World as a resource contribution point, he was still a little complacent. Now it seems that the resources contributed by the world are a steady stream, far less than plunder.

If you kill a demon lord, you can get thousands of star stones.

And if you capture a living fourth-level life form, it can even be worth tens of thousands of star stones. Such a harvest is comparable to the resource output of a world for hundreds of years. Perhaps the only advantage of plane resource output is durability. .

At the same time, hunting for beings of the same level also requires taking great risks.

You must know that in the multiverse, magic crystals of wizards are also very valuable items. Many devils and demon lords are proud of collecting the magic crystals of fourth-level all-spirit wizards.

This is the law of the Black Forest!

Different races and civilizations fight and plunder each other. The winner gets everything from the loser, which naturally includes life.
