Swamp Lord: I have an intelligence system.

While Lear was still digesting this information, intelligence continued to emerge -

[The blood-stained coffin spikes are hidden in the treasure that will be auctioned at the Dark Auction House - the Supreme Scepter. Although the worshippers of the evil god have received guidance from the evil god and know its approximate location, they are not sure where it is hidden.]

[After the dark auction ends, if the other party does not get the bloodstained coffin spikes, they will activate the magic circle set up in the Iron City, shatter the mountains, create a bloody incident, and use this as a sacrifice to activate the bloodstained coffin spikes.]

After reading the rest of the information, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

I walked up the stairs slowly and entered the room according to the house number.

The caveman stood guard at the door like a servant.

Lear ignored the other party, closed the door, went to the window, and looked into the distance through the open window.

Looking at the gloomy underground world, his eyes flickered.

I didn't expect to suddenly get such important information.

Things suddenly became more complicated.

The gray dwarves want to rob each other, while the followers of the evil god want to release the evil god.
There are people who believe in such evil things as gods, and they are afraid that the world will not be destroyed.

Skull pain.

What’s even more outrageous is that this thing can be circulated outside?
It's even on auction?!

As for those gray dwarves who just want to make a quick buck and run away, I don’t know if they can survive and keep these things.

It is hard to imagine what the angry followers of the evil god will do once the gray dwarf sneaks away! !

The other party can really push the whole city down
And even if the gray dwarves escape, can they escape their pursuit?

He shook his head, this was not something he should worry about.

The question now is how to benefit from it?
He was also very interested in the blood-stained coffin nails.

Contaminated by the original power of the evil gods?

How brutal is this?
The evil god is a horrible creature born from the combination of the power of the ancient god and the god of creation. Even the god of creation cannot kill it, so it can only be sealed in the underground world.

This is a big risk. If you want to get this thing, you need to think carefully.
After calming down, he fell into deep thought.

Next, we need to consider how to proceed.

For the next few days, Lear kept a low profile.

Let the cavemen lead the way and wander around the city silently. It won't take long before I have mastered most areas of the Iron City.

It can also be seen from the guards in the city that the gray dwarves are constantly evacuating.

But their actions are not surprising. The world is about to collapse, who would be willing to stay here and wait to die?

Those who have some strength have already prepared to retreat.

There is no connection between the gray dwarf's actions and the thief's attack.

As time went by, the number of outsiders entering the Molten Iron City increased significantly, including all kinds of strange and peculiar races.

Moreover, most of them are fierce and powerful, and none of them are weak.

Ordinary people don't dare to wade into the muddy water here at this time.

After a few days, it was December 12th and the intelligence was updated again.

But this time, Lear was not surprised by the 4-star intelligence. The first 4 pieces of information were not of high value. Only the last 3-star intelligence attracted his attention.

[5. Ironforge↓The defensive weapons placed on the southern wall of the city - Dragon Hunting Crossbows. Because the gray dwarves evacuated in a hurry, they were dismantled and placed in the warehouse under the city wall, but could not be moved away. There were 50 in total. Due to the chaos, no one paid attention to them, and their traces were not discovered until 7 days later.]

I have been looking for an opportunity to make some money these days, but I didn't expect the intelligence to directly point out a way.

It will not be discovered until 7 days later, that is, on January 1, after the dark auction ends.

There is still room for maneuver.

We went to check the location immediately and spent a day to understand the specific situation of the southern city wall and find out the location of the warehouse.

After returning, Lear silently calculated that he now had three pieces of intelligence in his hands.

First of all, the target of this time - the eyeball of the lizardman demigod, will be hidden by the greedy gray dwarves in another block.

This is the highest priority item, and you must get it first when the time comes.

And with the support of intelligence, this is also the simplest and easiest.

The second one is the blood-stained coffin spikes that possess the original power of the gods. You can tell how ferocious this thing is just by looking at the intelligence introduction.

It's like a divine weapon.

But it exists in the Supreme Scepter, which is a bit difficult to deal with.

I’ll see if I can get it first at the auction then.

If we allow the gray dwarves to carry out their plan, there will be no turning back.

The third piece was the intelligence about the gray dwarves' robbing each other, so that he could know the other party's movements in advance and be prepared.

If used well, you can make a lot of money.
As for the information about the storage of heavy equipment that we just obtained, it is not that important. It cannot affect the situation and is just icing on the cake.

Time passed quickly, and in the next few days, Lear obtained several magical plants from the trading market, all of which were used to plant in the swamp to construct the land of death he envisioned.

Finally, December 12th arrived amid the increasingly depressing atmosphere in Crucible City.

At 10 am, the dark auction officially began.

It was exactly half past nine when Lear walked out of the hotel, and the streets were already full of people.

Looking around, the levels are almost all at level 14 or 15.

There were also numerous level 16 ones, and even two level 19 ones quietly entered the auction.

All those who participated in the auction could feel the sense of oppression emanating from their companions. They were all very vigilant while also exercising utmost restraint.

The Dark Auction House is a square building made of huge stones, and the outside is poured with melted steel.

Twisted gray dwarf inscriptions were engraved on the walls, emitting a faint bronze glow that constantly washed over the entire building.

Gives a sense of solidity.

It is about 30 meters high and meters long and wide.

It would definitely be a giant building in the underground world.

Around the auction house, violent boar warriors riding on tusked boars were patrolling vigilantly.

He has a fierce aura and a cruel look.

Their level is one level higher than those stationed on the city walls, both reaching the maximum level of 15, which is the level cap for 4-star potential soldiers.

There are as many as 5 squadrons.

They were holding war hammers in their hands with alert eyes, and the violent wild boars under their seats were breathing heavily, as if they could launch a charge at any time.

The leader of this guard army is an 18th-level gray dwarf hero, who is also accompanied by two 17th-level heroes.

The owner of this city intimidates these foreign invaders in the most direct way.

The unruly crowd became much more clear-headed after seeing the guarding force.

Strength is the best pass. They are here for the auction and there is no need to cause trouble in such a place.

Silently walked through the door and entered the auction hall.

Lear didn't care about these and walked in calmly.

The big devil behind him followed closely.

The level 18 gray dwarf hero at the door looked at the big demon for a moment, but did not say anything.

Silently watching this evil creature follow Lear into the auction house.

In the underworld, there are all kinds of fierce and ruthless people. Although enslaving an abyss demon is relatively rare, it is not a rare thing.

As long as they can suppress the other party's ferocity, they don't care about so much.

Even if this city collapses after today, it may have nothing to do with them.

The level 18 gray dwarf hero looked up at the sky dome rock wall where the cracks were still expanding and took a deep breath.

Perhaps, this is a trick of fate.

But then he perked up again.

In the past auctions, they only charged some handling fees and made a profit, but not much.

This time, he was able to directly embezzle everyone's treasures and gold.

As long as we get these resources and treasures, the base on the surface can develop smoothly.

It will definitely not be inferior to Molten Iron City in the future.

After Lear entered the auction house, he turned around and looked around.

This is a sunken, bowl-shaped auction venue.

The auction stage is in the lower center, and the auditorium is on the higher sides.

There aren't many comfortable areas in this building. There are only steel seats that can't be moved and are welded firmly to the ground.

At this time, more than half of the people were already seated.

But the space here is very large and can accommodate at least three to four thousand people.

Although there are many people, the air is very quiet.

Everyone waited in silence for the auction to begin.

There were also many people who temporarily wanted to add their own items to the auction and were being led to the backstage by the gray dwarf waiters.

Lear found a place with a good view and sat down. The big devil stood behind him, making the people around him feel very uneasy and they didn't dare to sit next to him at all.

This attitude attracted many people's attention.

A level 16 hero was nothing in the auction at the moment, but the fact that he was in the form of a servant, and a demon at that, was a bit curious.

But soon my attention was attracted by other things and I didn't keep my attention here for too long.

Normal auctions always have an auction catalogue, but today, the gray dwarf informed that there were too many treasures added to the auction at the last minute, and it was impossible to organize them into a catalogue, so participants could just bid as they saw fit.

Lear found this nonsense a little funny, but he didn't say much and just watched the other person's performance silently.

As time approached 10 o'clock, more and more people came.

By the end, the auction hall was packed with people, and many people didn't even have seats, so they stood directly in the gaps between the empty seats.

It was dark and looked very lively, but because there were so many strange races, it felt strange and creepy.

Finally, when the pointer reached 10 o'clock, a gray dwarf auctioneer in a black robe walked into the auction room.

Looking at the crowd moving around, he spoke directly without wasting words.

"Let me announce the rules of today's auction."

"The highest bidder wins. Gold is the settlement currency. If you have treasures, you can also exchange them for gold for settlement."

"After the auction, please settle the auction money immediately to prevent someone from cheating!"

"After the auction is over, go backstage with your auction number to claim your treasure."

"If you do not agree with the auction rules, please leave on your own."

"Now, let's start the auction of the first treasure, a 5-star treasure - the Devil's Eye. This is the eye extracted from the eye of the Demon Duke."

"Drop blood on it and absorb its power to gain the skills of a demon."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The arrival of the gray dwarf ignited the enthusiasm of everyone present.

The previous instructions were originally frowned upon, but the item you start with is a 5-star treasure, and it is also a special treasure that can obtain a demon skill.

The unhappiness was suppressed directly.

This is the other party's territory, and with so many people here, it is impossible not to follow the rules.

"These treasures are all rare items that we have appraised. There is absolutely no mistake."

“You can auction it with confidence.”

"The starting price for this treasure is - 1 gold coin!"

The gray dwarf auctioneer obviously knew how to create an atmosphere. As soon as he finished speaking, several people in the front row immediately made bids.

"1 gold coins!"

"Fifteen thousand!"

"I'll pay 3!"

A few shouts immediately ignited the atmosphere.

The sound of bidding continued uninterruptedly.

When Lear saw this scene, his face was calm.

This thing is good, but the prerequisite is that you have to get it.

The gray dwarves have already made preparations in advance to rob each other, and if they shoot now, they will only let the other party take advantage of them.

But outsiders don’t know about this situation and are still in a frenzy at the moment.

Finally, after dozens of rounds of bidding, this 5-star treasure was sold for 10 gold coins.

Lear didn't know whether this price was low or high in the underground world, but looking at the madness around him, it was obviously not low.

Then, the second treasure was put up for auction, a 4-star level long sword that was very sharp.

It also has two unique magics enchanted on it.

4 gold coins were sold.

A good start made the whole venue very hot.

At that moment, they began to fight for it even more frantically.

And every time an item was sold, as mentioned before, a gray dwarf would immediately come forward to ask for the price paid.

Some people who can't produce it will be kicked out on the spot, and the treasure will be re-shot.

This efficient and decisive action won the unanimous approval of everyone, and their trust in the gray dwarves was further enhanced.

We are all here for the auction, and no one wants to be owed money or have the price maliciously inflated.

Lear watched silently from the side, feeling a little strange.

I really don’t know what expressions these people would have when they know that all the money they paid would be pocketed by the gray dwarves in the end and they would get nothing.
Some people saw that the atmosphere was very lively and took out their own treasures to auction on the spot.

The gray dwarf auctioneer accepted all the items and took them with a smile, then sold them at a high price on the spot.

This made the atmosphere more and more exciting, and even those level 19 heroes were frequently throwing coins around.

The auction lasted for three hours without a break.

It was so intense that it felt like the gold coins in his hands were falling from the sky.

Li Er roughly estimated that in this wave, the gray dwarves had collected nearly 100 million gold coins.

It's an exaggeration.

After another 4-star armor was sold, the sudden announcement from the gray dwarf auctioneer made him suddenly perk up.

"This is a unique treasure that the sender found in ancient ruins. It is called the Supreme Scepter."

"From the pattern on it, we can tell that this is the scepter of a king in ancient times, a symbol of power and strength!"

"Of course, the above is not important. What is important is that the scepter contains the surging power of thunder."

"Although its level is unknown, it can release thunder and lightning comparable to 3rd level magic!"

"The starting bid is 10,000 gold coins!"

As he spoke, the person behind him took out a bronze scepter, held it high, and gestured to everyone.

The crowd below could clearly sense the thunder energy flashing on the scepter.

Lear's eyes suddenly became solemn.

Full sense of perception.

His eyes looked around like a hawk.

However, no breath of the evil believers of God was sensed.

I didn't know the blood-stained coffin nails were hidden inside.
Immediately make an offer.

"Ten thousand gold coins!"

In such a warm atmosphere, no one felt anything strange when they saw him quote the price. The moment he finished speaking, someone on the other side also shouted a price.

"twelve thousand!"

"13,000"

After several rounds of competition, the price reached 18,000.

Li Er didn't pretend to be anything and just raised the price to 20,000.

Suddenly the field became quiet.

The level of this scepter is unknown, and it only has a third-ring magic of thunder and lightning.

The value is not that high, it’s just that many people’s expectations for magic led them to offer a price.

Twenty thousand is a bit beyond its introduced value.

The gray dwarf auctioneer was not disappointed when he saw this. He asked several times with a smile, and after making sure that no one else was bidding, he directly dropped the hammer.

"My dear customer, congratulations on winning this scepter used by an ancient king. Please pay the amount you bid and go to the backstage to collect it after the auction is over."

As soon as he finished speaking, the gray dwarf holding the scepter prepared to leave.

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly stopped the other party.

"slow!"

The field suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound.

Lear stood up slowly and waved slightly.

The big devil behind him instantly appeared on the stage.

Then, the other party took out a big bag full of gold coins and handed it over.

Under the astonished gaze of the gray dwarf servant, he directly snatched the scepter.

Then the whole person disappeared without a trace and returned to Lear's back.

Seeing this scene, the gray dwarf auctioneer frowned.

"Dear guest, you broke the rules!!"

If everyone does this, who will wait patiently until the auction is over to claim the treasure?

"People who don't follow the rules are not welcome here!"

"Now, please leave immediately!"

He was about to use the guards, but the words didn't come out.

Then I saw the figure hidden in the dark fog coming out with an apologetic voice.

"I'm sorry, this is the family treasure I've been looking for, so I got a little excited when I saw it and didn't mean to break the rules of the auction."

“I will keep this in mind next time.”

Having said that, he did not argue about staying on the scene and quietly left with the big demon.

When the crowd saw this scene, they all fell silent.

"Everyone, remember, the auction house has its own rules. Anyone who is unwilling to abide by them should leave immediately!"

The gray dwarf auctioneer snorted coldly, and without further ado, he immediately started the next round of auction.

The other party gave the money and took his own things.

Since the other party admitted his mistake and left, he was too lazy to care about it. The right thing to do was to finish the auction as soon as possible and make these people take out all the money in their pockets.

After this incident, some people in the auction hall felt something strange and started to become cautious, but most of them were not affected and were still actively participating in it.

After Lear walked out of the auction house, he couldn't hide the curve of his lips.

I didn't expect that the treasure imbued with the original power of the gods and evil spirits could be obtained in such a dramatic way.

It feels so refreshing.

Making a fortune quietly is indeed a joy. (End of this chapter)
