No matter where it was, auctions were generally something only the big powers could afford. In the city of La Roux, there were very few powers that could hold auctions. Other than the city itself and the Alliance, perhaps only partners like the Devon Corporation, which had a very close relationship with the city of La Roux, could hold auctions.
The Devon Auction was a money-making project that the Devon Corporation had recently created in La Roux. Although there was a lot of advertising, the reputation of the auction was always linked to how famous and explosive the items it had auctioned were. Since it had just been created and the items auctioned were not particularly high-end, its current reputation was still a little low.
However, behind the Devon Auction stood the Devon Corporation, which was impeccable in terms of credibility, confidentiality, and security. Therefore, many trainers were willing to try to appraise the treasures they had obtained during their travels around the world, hoping to get rich overnight.
Of course, except for a very few lucky ones, most of the things that the trainers regarded as treasures were nothing more than a pile of worthless junk.
But with the encouragement of these very few lucky ones, the trainers' enthusiasm was still abnormally high. Every day, many trainers would bring their treasures to the auction for the appraisers to appraise.
From the content of the flyer that he had just received, Kaede Sato knew that the most valuable item that the Devon Auction had ever auctioned was an unknown Mega Evolution Stone. In the end, it was bought by a mysterious buyer for a sky-high price of 9.8 billion Alliance credits.
Just from this deal alone, the Devon Corporation made a lot of money by taking a 5% share of the auction fees. Auctions were simply a profiteering business.
At the same time, Kaede Sato also noticed a piece of information from the flyer. The auction was held every day, but generally, the best items would only appear on the weekends, in the middle of the month, and at the end of the month.
Currently, the Devon Auction had only been established for five months, and there was less than a week left until its half anniversary. Currently, the Devon Corporation was sparing no effort in promoting the Devon Auction. In fact, it was in preparation for the upcoming half anniversary celebration.
This is a good opportunity. As long as I have money, I might be able to get a lot of useful things. Kaede Sato thought as he walked.
Kaede Sato finally found the recently popular auction venue in the center of the Trainer's Market after passing through many shops with a dazzling array of Little Elf props.
The auction hall covered an area of at least the size of a football field. Judging from the shape of the auction hall, the architect who built the auction hall must have been inspired by the Giant Gold Monster, because the entire auction hall was shaped like a Giant Gold Monster that had been magnified countless times. This was a real steel monster.
There were five entrances and exits to the Golem Auction House. They were its four six-story-tall feet and its mouth. Under normal circumstances, the Golem Auction House's mouth would only open on weekends. That was the direct passage to the core auction house.
Normally, the auction would be held in the small and medium-sized auction house above the four giant feet of the Golem Auction House. In fact, the Golem Auction House had no less than a dozen auctions of various sizes, and most of the time, only 60% of them would be open.
Today was Wednesday. Seeing that the Golem Auction House's mouth was not open, Kaede Sato had no choice but to enter the auction hall through the entrance of the Golem Auction House's left forelimb.
After learning that Kaede Sato was here to auction something, and seeing that Kaede Sato was not ordinary, a beautiful attendant immediately brought Kaede Sato to a very quaint room. There were a lot of different kinds of stones in the room. At first glance, one would think that he had come to a stone exhibition room.
A bald old man with white hair and beard was sitting in the room. At this time, he was holding a large magnifying glass and looking at a group of stones that Kaede Sato did not know much about. He did not care about the arrival of the beautiful attendant and Kaede Sato.
The beautiful attendant obviously knew the old man's temper very well. Seeing him like this, she knew that he had entered a state of obsession. She looked at Kaede Sato with a pitiful look and said, "Wait a minute." Then she left.
Fortunately, the old man did not make Kaede Sato wait for too long. This was because Kaede Sato used the system's identification function on the stone in the old man's hand and said the name of the stone.
The stone was a mixture of black and red, and its shape resembled an orange. According to the system's identification result, this stone was called the Fire Spirit Stone.
This was a very strange stone that contained equal amounts of fire and ghost energy. When it was placed in the sun, the stone would turn completely red, but when it was placed in a dark place, the stone would turn completely black.
The reason for the stone's transformation was that it had the ability to automatically absorb fire and ghost elemental energy. Under sunlight, it would actively absorb fire elemental energy, causing the internal fire elemental energy to be greater than the ghost elemental energy, causing the stone to turn completely red. On the other hand, if it was placed in a dark place, it would turn black.
In fact, this was a kind of stone that represented ominous, because it was produced because the unknown substance left behind after the death of the Crystal Lamp Fire Spirit adhered to the ordinary stone.
Because it contained very pure fire and ghost energy at the same time, this kind of stone was a good food for fire and ghost elves. However, there might also be resentment of the Crystal Lamp Fire Spirit in it. After eating it, the personality of the elves would more or less become a little violent.
Of course, for the Crystal Lamp Fire Spirit or some evil ghost elves, this kind of stone was a supreme delicacy. Once they found it, they would try to take it away, so this kind of stone would often attract some evil ghost elves.
"Hey, I didn't expect this kid to have such good taste. He actually recognized it as the Fire Spirit Stone." Hearing Kaede Sato say the name of the stone in his hand, the old man suddenly woke up from his contemplation, and then looked at Kaede Sato with some surprise.
"It's nothing. My hometown is Guandong. You know, it is a place rich in all kinds of stones. I used to work in the stone market, and I was lucky enough to see this kind of stone that represents ominous once. Sir, this kind of stone often attracts many evil elves. It's best to throw it away."
Seeing that the old man finally came back to his senses, Kaede Sato immediately said what he had already prepared in his mind.
"Yes, I went to Guandong when I was young. It is indeed a place rich in all kinds of stones. Not only did I work in the stone market, but I also know that the Fire Spirit Stone represents ominous. It seems that you must also be a person who likes stones, little friend. Come, come, this old man will show you my collection of stones. These are all fine."
Hearing Kaede Sato's words again, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he showed a very appreciative look. It seemed that he had not met a kindred spirit for a long time. Now he looked at Kaede Sato as if he had found a confidant. He immediately came up to hold Kaede Sato's hand and said with a smile.
