Chapter 47 Contact with the Secret Organization
  The meeting of the Alchemy Council will be held in Fein City in thirteen days, and Irene does not intend to leave Nasir, so only Byrne goes there in a carriage.

He has traveled back and forth to Fein City dozens of times in the past few years, and has long been accustomed to the experience of business trips.

"Alchemy Council? This is my first time coming into contact with those secret organizations that are not public."

After setting foot on the land of Fein City, Byrne looked at the increasingly chaotic buildings around him and frowned slightly.

He quickly went to the designated bank and got a gift box stored there from the bank employee.

After returning to the hotel, Byrne opened the gift box and took out a dark golden mask.

He raised the dark golden mask and looked at it very carefully.

It is carefully made of high-quality metal materials, strong and elegant, and the corners are carefully carved with complex patterns. The surface is also covered with a shimmering coating, which will shine even more dazzlingly under the light.

"It's a nice piece of art. The maker must be a powerful person who is proficient in alchemy."

Byrne quickly realized that this was an alchemical product created through magic, and the maker was probably an alchemy-type spellcaster with considerable strength.

Its existence can be regarded as announcing to all invitees the strength behind the Alchemy Council.

He carried bank notes equivalent to four hundred gold coins. Many people in today's era use bank notes that can be exchanged for gold at the bank at any time.

As the night got darker, Byrne came to the deserted alley written in the address. The surroundings looked dark, old and dirty, not at all what he imagined.

"how should I do?"

He touched the wall gently, but nothing happened.

"..."

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly woke up, put on the dark golden mask, and reached out to touch the cold wall again.

The next moment, Byrne felt that the environment in front of him had completely changed.

In a trance, he arrived at the porch inlaid with golden brass decorations. Bright and warm light was reflected around him. The waiters all wore smiling silver masks and looked at the new visitors quietly.

"Please come with me."

The waiter led him through the doorway and into the magnificent hall.

Gorgeous crystal chandeliers hang from the high ceiling, emitting sparkling light and illuminating the entire space. Guests wearing all kinds of strange masks sit on rows of chairs.

It was like a high-end aristocratic club. Byrne was no longer the country bumpkin. In the past few years, he and Mr. Jin had occasionally visited similarly decorated places.

And through the powerful memory brought by the extraordinary characteristic "deep memory", he quickly counted the total of twenty silver-faced waiters present, and the number of guests who came here was thirty-two.

Byrne discovered something very interesting. He clearly remembered the physical features of the aristocratic and wealthy people in the city, but he didn't match up with any of the thirty or so people.

"I see, it seems to be the extraordinary effect brought about by the alchemy mask."

He soon realized that this was the "concealment" effect brought by the mask itself. The extraordinary power contained in the mask was hindering his cognition, and he was unable to "detect" the true identities of the guests through normal methods.

"It seems that the Alchemy Council's auction follows the principle of secrecy."

Thinking of this, Byrne immediately became much more relaxed, and even some of the shameful desires deep in his heart were relieved.

He suddenly noticed something. It turned out that another meaning of the mask was to prevent everyone from being able to auction prohibited items.

Since no one can recognize anyone else, people's moral sense will naturally decline after the auction begins, and they will become more unscrupulous.

The silver-faced waiter handed Byrne an auction list written on gold paper, which contained all the transaction details of the auction.

Byrne didn't think much about it for a while at first, but he was soon shocked!

There was actually an option for foreign human trafficking on this list, and he fell into silent contemplation.

The overt abolition of slavery only has a history of a few decades. In fact, slaves still exist in many small places. It is not that it is incomprehensible that slaves are sold in such places.

Soon, the auction began.

The host appeared on stage wearing a silver mask. He looked tall and thin, like a slender ghost. Every move he made while standing on the stage revealed a huge sense of weirdness.

"The auction begins."

The host's voice was emotionless, which made Byrne feel a little uncomfortable. He always felt that something was wrong with him. At first, the items auctioned by the Alchemy Council were all insignificant works of art. Byrne had just looked at them, not wanting to buy them even though he was interested.

It was not until the Alchemy Council auctioned the books and extraordinary inheritance that Byrne finally decided to take action.

He auctioned off some books about hidden history, most of which were secret forbidden books. Storing them privately was not allowed by the church, and cost a total of fifteen gold coins.

At the same time, Byrne also knew Vanessa's talent, so he bought a set of spell inheritance for summoning spellcasters, which cost thirty-seven gold coins and ten silver coins.

Its creator was a monarch-level spellcaster five hundred years ago. It contains three common summoning types of spells: "summon fireflies", "summon birds", "summon vines" and a general spell-casting technique "spell." Extension".

"Spell Expansion" is one of the five common general specialties of spell casters. The effect is to consume several times of mental power in exchange for a wider range and greater number of final effects. A spell caster who has mastered it to the extreme can burst out in an instant. Terrible spell effect.

However, only spellcasters who successfully reach the metamorphic level can learn and master "spellcasting skills".

Vanessa is still just a talented ordinary person, not even the weakest spell caster, and she may not be able to become a metamorphic level spell caster in the future.

Byrne's purchase of this spellcasting inheritance can be regarded as an investment in the future.

In the military force systems of various countries, second-level spellcasters are considered the mainstay. They are undoubtedly powerful extraordinary beings with identity and status.

"I hope she doesn't live up to our expectations."

The Alchemy Council auctioned off some of the alchemy tools again. After thinking about it, Byrne decided to take action again.

He bought twenty-five copies of the blood potion, intending to use it as raw materials. He also purchased three special alchemical flintlock guns and fifty matching bullets. He also purchased a large number of alchemical explosives and three powerful alchemical burning potions.

Then Byrne bought two more copies of the miserable green alchemical poison mist potion. This thing looked disgusting, but it was actually very effective.

They will volatilize quickly after contacting the air and cover an area of ​​tens of meters in radius. They will corrode the skin of all ordinary creatures and cause ulcers in the area.

Although it cannot kill people immediately, most lives will suffer from it and almost completely lose their ability to move and their will to fight.

In the end, he also got five important awakening potions, which can make people with mental disorders gradually clear up. Irene said that they are necessities when roaming in the spirit world.

The above-mentioned alchemy items cost a total of seventy-four gold coins and thirteen silver coins.

The auction came to an end, and the grand finale of the night finally appeared, and the silver-faced waiter handed it over on a tray.

The Alchemy Council's auction will be held only once every few months, and the final auction items of each auction must be very coveted things.

It looks like a blood-red ring, which contains extremely powerful power.

The voice under the mask of the tall and thin host showed no fluctuation, and he introduced without joy or sadness: "The last auction item today is the treasure-level mysterious item 'The Ring of Soul Leaving'."

"Its effect is to make the wearer's consciousness temporarily leave the physical body in the real world, and then the consciousness can pass through obstacles such as walls and soil in an invisible state. The duration depends on the user's mental strength. The starting price is two hundred .”

A treasure-level mysterious item, many people on the scene immediately became interested. The starting price was two hundred gold coins. Byrne bid twice, 230 and 270 gold coins respectively. However, he couldn't get it at all. Can make up the numbers to add to the fun.

The treasure-level mysterious objects were all important items worth thousands of gold coins. He watched the bidding price get higher and higher all the way, and finally it was bought by a female guest sitting in the front row for 1,535 gold coins. Get the price.

After leaving the Alchemy Council, Byrne felt deep in his heart that he was still unsatisfied. The feeling of spending a lot of money would be addictive to almost anyone.

Then he recalled the aliens who were auctioned off, expressing slight sympathy but unable to act as a "savior".

But suddenly, the extremely beautiful elf figure under the moonlight appeared in Byrne's mind.

Byrne shook his head and said to himself: "That was probably the last time we met. I hope she won't fall into the hands of those people."

When he was young, he had unrealistic expectations and even some romantic thoughts about meeting the elves again, or even meeting them again.

But after getting married, Byrne's wife's position in his heart was only Margaret.

"I don't know who is behind the Alchemy Council's auction. I'm afraid I will come here again in the future."

Just when he was about to leave completely, he suddenly stared at the dark gold mask for a while, suddenly stopped, and quickly turned around and returned to the deserted alley.

He put on the mask and re-entered the porch to see the confused silver-faced waiters.

Byrne said in an extremely calm tone: "I want to buy a few more alchemy masks with 'concealment' effects."
