Dragon Clan: Started by being picked up by Xia Mi, and then defeated the strong

Chapter 454 During the auction
As night falls, the shadow of the ancient castle is cast on the earth like a giant. It is surrounded by walls and gatehouses, and there is a moat in front of the castle gate. One high-end car after another slowly drives in.

Xia Mo mixed in with the crowd. Those who participated in the charity gala were either rich or noble. How could the host drive himself? The Greek branch specialist who came to support was responsible for acting as the driver.

Xia Mo bought an evening gown on the spot and dressed up for the event. She was used to this kind of thing.

As the sedan of the last guest on the list disappeared into the depths of the castle, the drawbridge at the gate creaked up.

This marked the beginning of the party and the interruption of normal access to the castle from outsiders.

The castle owner specially arranged a parking space. Xia Mo and a group of wealthy officials got out of the car. The servants who had been waiting for a long time led them to the main venue, and the driver was taken care of by other servants.

Xia Mo looked at the Greek branch commissioner and nodded slightly, indicating that the other party should do as he was told and not to worry about her.

Xia Mo came to the palace hall. A scarlet carpet was laid from the main seat to the door. The hall had two floors, with stairs on both sides of the north and south ends. Bright crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, illuminating the hall with golden splendor. Many exquisite decorations were elegant and luxurious, exuding the elegance of the upper class everywhere.

Xia Mo was wearing silver stiletto heels. She had a superhuman physique, and the ten-centimeter heels did not affect her movements, and she could even run. The stiletto heels were perfect as a killing weapon.

Of course, the skirt of Xia Mo's evening dress was long enough, and she also wore safety pants underneath.

In a corner of the hall, the resident orchestra played a beautiful piece of music. The rich and powerful tone of the cello flowed from the strings, adding a bit of grandeur.

At this time, a large number of waiters in black clothes and masks poured out from the rooms on both sides of the hall. They were polite and well-mannered, holding a silver plate in their hands. Some guests took out new letters and put them on the silver plate. The waiters in black clothes and masks then handed them a number card.

Xia Mo seemed to be thinking about this. Is there another round of screening?

Norma only got the entry ticket to the outermost circle, and it depends on her to enter the core circle.

Soon, a waiter in black clothes and a mask came in front of Xia Mo. Xia Mo looked at the mask on the other's face. It seemed to be a dog's face, vicious and cruel, quite scary.

But Xia Mo also wore a mask. Everyone who came here had to wear a mask. This was the rule. Maybe they knew that they were doing something shameful.

Xia Mo's mask is a fox mask decorated with cherry blossoms.

The waiter in black and mask said nothing, just stared at Xia Mo quietly. His eyes under the dog mask were empty and lifeless, like a dead person.

In the past, Xia Mo would use hypnosis to trick the black-clad and masked waiter into getting the number card, but she won't do that now, because you can't ask a dead body to respond to you.

Xia Mo simply turned around and left, and the waiter in black and mask turned his head to walk towards another guest.

Abandoned the mission?
No.

Xia Mo hypnotized quietly and borrowed a number from another guest who had received one. She knew that in the brightly lit hall, apart from the guests, the waiters who came out of the castle were all controlled zombies without any mind.

Xia Mo was very sensitive to life and death. She glanced at the guests who seemed complacent or conceited, and wondered how they would look if they knew that she was dealing with a corpse.

“Pah, pah…”

A loud applause drowned out the music and discussion. Xia Mo looked in the direction of the sound and saw a butler wearing a special dog mask clapping.
"Everyone is welcome to this charity dinner. There are many old faces as well as new faces. The rules remain the same. The auction will be divided into two sessions and will be held simultaneously." said the butler.

"Guests holding golden number plates, please go to the right side of the hall. Those who unfortunately did not get number plates, please go to the left side. Don't worry, although you cannot buy rare treasures from that world, you will be made to feel at home and satisfied."

Xia Mo walked to the right calmly, and she followed the group up the stairs to the second floor.

Xia Mo discovered that the right corridor and the left corridor on the second floor were not connected. There was a hollow space in the middle, separated by a crystal chandelier. She glanced at the guests opposite, who were also looking over here with envy in their eyes.

What's there to envy? Who knows what dark things are inside.

Xia Mo thought.

She turned and walked through the door in the corridor on the right.

……

It was pitch black, but after walking for a minute or two, the view suddenly became bright.

In a dark room about the size of a movie theater, the butler was already waiting at the auction table. There was no pretty girl in charge of promotion, only him.

The spotlight was on the butler, and he had no shadow.

Xia Mo took a seat according to the number tag. There was a sign on the small table behind the chair in front of her, which would be used for bidding later.

The guests sat at intervals. There were fifty guests in total, which was not a large number, so the auction hall seemed empty. The guests were whispering to each other, and Xia Mo was very interested.

The butler said a few opening remarks and the auction quickly got down to business.

“The first item to be auctioned is a tusk that is unlike any beast shown in the animal world, including those that swim in the sea.”

The waiter in black clothes and with a dog face pushed a cart to the center of the auction table, opened the iron cover on it, and placed a white fang on it.

"After testing, a little bit of its powder has the effect of strengthening the body and can make you 20 years younger!"

The housekeeper said passionately that everyone who could come to this golden number plate auction knew that the goods sold were genuine and of good value, and they definitely could strengthen the body.

"Starting price: one hundred thousand dollars."

Soon, someone raised a sign, and then someone else raised the price, and finally the battle ended with a high price of half a million US dollars. The buyer was a white-haired old man with a mask that could only cover his face.

The second auction item was soon presented.

The third item, the fourth item... one after another, their value and mystery also increased accordingly. Xia Mo never bought them, but it was not because she couldn't afford them, but because there was no need to.

These things are either parts of dragon subspecies, or alchemical materials and inventions. Some are older and relatively scarce, and some are things that even the organizers can't understand. It all depends on whether you can recognize them or not, and your luck.

Xia Mo knows the value of it and feels that it is of no use, so we won’t waste our money.

There were sixteen lots in this auction. As the heat of the auction reached its peak, the most valuable finale was presented.

"A ticket, a ticket to my Lord's kingdom, a great opportunity to become a new human being after the end of the world." The butler's voice changed from being high-pitched just now to calm and rational, but it revealed a deeper level of fanaticism and worship.

Xia Mo frowned slightly. Is this... a blank check?
"Starting price: 1000 million US dollars."

Xia Mo became anxious when she heard that. The leader of the Ode Faction should come quickly so that she could catch them all in one fell swoop. It was impossible to buy indulgences, and she couldn't even get a sound.

If we really want to talk about how to become a new human being, the natural way is to join my [Ark]. If she wants to, she can also get a ticket. It is not expensive. It only costs 70% of your total assets. In this way, everyone is equal, regardless of rich or poor.
