Krobelus's voice sounded, "The second news is that the starting price of these 2 devil fruits is 1 million black crystal coins."
Everyone was restless. The starting price of the finale item is so low? However, Krobelus's words were obviously not over, "Each bid increase is not less than 500,000 black crystal coins. If you don't have cash, you can use some rare magic materials or treasures as collateral. Here is a bargaining form with the specific details of the collateral. If there are treasures not on the form, you can evaluate them on the spot."
When Krobelus spoke, a maid had already distributed the bargaining form to each guest. The bargaining form was very clear. For example, Thunder Crystal, 3 million black crystal coins; top-grade Purple Demon Mussel Pearl, 4.5 million black crystal coins. Although this price was relatively low, with the rarity of the devil fruit, it would definitely be auctioned at an amazing price. This was the best way without enough cash.
In fact, most of these materials were needed by Chen Rui to refine the artifact in the exchange center, and this bargaining mode would become another source of income for the auction house in the future.
With the announcement of Emerald Miss Long, the bidding began.
"1 million, 100,000!"
"2 million!"
"2.5 million!"
"…"
Although many of the previous auction items were rare treasures, many buyers had reserved their strength and focused on the last Devil Fruit. Now, they naturally began to make their move.
The auction house had been open for a while now. Many Demons had also learned some auction skills, and the bidding had become more rational. However, the natural belligerence of Demons and the powerful effect of the devil fruit were enough to make most people lose their "rationality".
The price began to soar at an incredible speed, and it exceeded 100 million in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, it was still increasing. The speed of the price increase did not show any signs of slowing down.
"500 million! VIP No. 4 bids 500 million! "Emerald Miss Long shouted excitedly. 500 million black crystal coins, not 50,000! If it is given to me, I can have a good dream for a month while lying on it!
"510 million!"
"520 million!"
After exceeding 500 million, the voice of bidding was obviously much less. This price was already quite high. It was equivalent to the output value and savings of a medium-sized estate for many years.
"600 million!" A calm voice rang out from VIP room 13. This VIP usually didn't speak, but the moment he did, it was an astonishing price.
"610 million!" A cold voice rang out from VIP room number five. "I want to see who dares to snatch what I, Asmirko, want!"
Asmirko? The bidding voices around suddenly weakened. Asmirko was a free trainer who had been famous for many years. He was a Great Demon with no nationality. It was said that he had reached the peak stage of the Demon Emperor 10 years ago. This time, he definitely wanted to use the power of the devil fruit to take a look at the Demon Overlord realm.
"650 million!" The person in VIP room 13 was still raising the price. His voice was still calm, as if he didn't care about Asmir at all.
"Hmph!" Asmirko, who was in VIP room number five, pulled open the curtain. It was unknown whether he wanted to leave in anger or to further deter his competitor. However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
Several dazzling destructive lights flew toward Krobelus and Old Gauss on the auction stage out of thin air. The magic circle barrier on the auction stage immediately reacted, transforming into various strange ripples that dissipated most of these destructive lights, but there was still one that penetrated the barrier.
With this move alone, the attacker's strength had reached the level of Demon Overlord.
A green mark flashed between Krobelus' eyebrows, and Old Gauss involuntarily flew backward and landed in a safe position. A faint green light appeared in her hand. Those destructive light waves seemed to be attracted by this light, and they gathered in her hand. They were dissipated by the green light halfway.
However, just as Krobelus resolved the attack, a figure wrapped in flames flew toward the auction stage like lightning. The power of the barrier that was dispersed by the light waves had yet to recover, and it was evaporated by the terrifying blazing power contained in the flame.
This figure had broken through the barrier and appeared on the stage in the blink of an eye. He reached out to grab the 2 crystal covers wrapped in the devil fruit.
Krobelus shouted angrily. The piercing cold air mixed with the cold poison ice crystals rushed toward the flame figure. The flame figure paused, and the flame in his hand was blazing. He faced Krobelus' attack head-on. Krobelus snorted and took 3 steps back in a row. The poison ice crystals in the cold air quickly vaporized under the terrifying high temperature. They couldn't play a role. She was already at a disadvantage in this blow.
Generally speaking, the power of the giant dragon was far better than the average powerhouse. In the case of head-on confrontation, Miss Long was still defeated. The true level of this flame figure should be higher than Krobelus by a small realm. He had reached the intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord.
The intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord powerhouse actually came to the auction to snatch the devil fruit! The Dark Moon is just an estate. It is quite rare to have a powerhouse like Krobelus. Now that even her biggest reliance is defeated by the person, who else can stop the flame figure?
The front row of the auction was suddenly in chaos. The "initiator" of the whole incident, Asmirko, who pulled open the curtain of the VIP room, was also dumbfounded. I just pulled the curtain to scare people. Does it have such a big chain effect?
In the chaos, a wisp of smoke appeared in front of the largest VIP room like a ghost, and it silently drifted toward General Crawford. It turned out that the previous snatching of the fruit was just a diversion to assassinate Crawford. This was the real killer move!
Crawford was one of the 3 generals of the Dark Shadow Empire and an important minister of Catherine the Great. As long as Crawford died, the Shadow Empire would definitely pursue responsibility. As the host, the Dark Moon and Jía were both to blame. This so-called sister-city cooperation would also completely collapse.
Crawford had experienced hundreds of battles. He instinctively gave birth to a strong sense of crisis in an instant, but he was firmly locked by this wisp of smoke as if he was stared at by the most terrifying demonic beast. He couldn't get rid of it. The speed and strength of the assassin are by no means inferior to the flame figure. Another powerhouse who is at least the intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord!
The assassination this time can be said to be a must win.
A cold light flashed in the eyes of an entourage-like old man behind Crawford. A golden light flew out like lightning and blocked in front of Crawford. It turned out to be a metal figure emitting golden light. Its body was engraved with strange totem patterns, and its eyes were glowing red. Its throat was stabbed, but it didn't seem to feel anything. It punched the assassin.
"Golden puppet!"
The sharp-eyed people had already exclaimed. The golden puppet was very powerful, and it was immortal. Although the assassin was extremely fast and hit the puppet's vital parts several times, he couldn't disintegrate the puppet's combat power. He couldn't be entangled for a while.
It seemed that the Bloody Vine Flower Estate came prepared to the Dark Moon this time. Crawford was protected by an Asmodeus Royal Family Demon Overlord powerhouse.
At this time, the battle between Krobelus and the flame figure on the stage suddenly changed. Although the true face of the powerhouse who snatched the devil fruit couldn't be seen clearly, there was an unbelievable look in his eyes. The flames on his body condensed, and they actually began to freeze.
In almost a few seconds, the intermediate stage of the Demon Overlord powerhouse was frozen in the air. At the same time, his horrified gaze was frozen. Outside his body, there was a frozen outline of the boiling flame. The flame that was enough to eliminate the emerald dragon's water and poison element power was actually frozen under some mysterious and special power, forming a strange statue.
Krobelus's eyes lit up. With a wave of her hand, the statue slowly landed next to the auction stage.
Everyone was dumbfounded until Miss Emerald returned to the auction stage with a sneer. Only then did they realize – The Demon Overlord powerhouse just now was captured alive just like that in a blink of an eye and scratching his head?
This is a Demon Overlord powerhouse! Not a Higher Demon that can be found by grabbing a handful on the street!
In front of the largest VIP room, the old man of the Asmodeus Royal Family suddenly looked surprised. The "light smoke" that was fighting with the golden puppet suddenly became invisible. At first, he thought it was some secret killing move, but when the assassin let out a scream, then the incorporeal body turned into a real light smoke and dissipated, the old man of the Asmodeus Royal Family finally reacted. The assassin was actually killed without a sound!
The Dark Moon actually has such a powerhouse!
Crawford was also extremely shocked. He finally understood why Her Majesty Empress specifically instructed before coming that the attitude of this visit should be neither humble nor arrogant, and avoid showing arrogance or domineering posture. It seems that the Dark Moon's strength is indeed qualified to cooperate with the Shadow Empire. Perhaps, Princess Royal Highness can go further in the future …
Krobelus' voice with Demon Overlord power resounded throughout the auction house, "Everyone, it was just a small accident just now. It has been resolved now. Please return to your seats. The auction will continue as usual."
A small accident? The hearts of the knowledgeable people were beating fast. Their eyes fell on the ice sculpture beside Miss Emerald Long who was like an "assistant". It was hard to believe that this ice sculpture was still a Demon Overlord powerhouse a minute ago!
2 Demon Overlords, 1 is dead, and the other is captured alive. Is this an estate or a capital?
Is this the joint power of the Dark Moon and the Shadow Empire? (Most people think that it is the hidden help of the Shadow Empire.)
A hint of surprise flashed through Jía's eyes, and she quickly recovered her indifference. She said to Crawford, "It is my Dark Moon's lack of protection that such a thing happened. Please forgive me, General Crawford."
Crawford came back to his senses and nodded approvingly, "It's okay. This incident let me see the Dark Moon's ability to respond to emergencies. It is worth learning from my Bloody Vine Flower Estate."
As one of the "perpetrators", Asmirko was holding the curtain in his hand. He hadn't recovered from the shock for a while. A busybody asked, "It's all over. What else do you want?"
Asmirko shuddered when he saw the Demon Overlord ice sculpture. I just want to bid for the devil fruit "honestly". I didn't expect such a mess to happen. If I am misunderstood as an accomplice of those assassins, it will be troublesome. The Dark Moon is too terrifying. Even the living space of the peak stage of the Demon Emperor is so small. I should go back to Mars … Uh, my hometown as soon as possible.
This guy had an idea, and he said "excitedly" loudly, "I bid 660 million!"
Amidst the laughter, Miss Emerald Long's voice continued to sound, "VIP No. 4 bids 660 million! Is there a higher bid? 660 million going once! "
"700 million." A calm voice sounded again in VIP room No. 13. This time, Asmirko didn't dare to be unreasonable. He muttered "You win" and put down the curtain honestly.
