Chapter 390 Charm

"Six hundred thousand pounds, for the first time!"

"Six hundred thousand pounds, for the second time!"

"Anyone willing to raise the price further?"

"..."

"Six hundred thousand pounds for the third time!"

"make a deal!"

"Congratulations to guest number sixteen, this necklace with its rich history and legendary charm is now yours."

Carl currently possesses four research achievements, each of which brings him a continuous stream of benefits.

Six hundred thousand

What would be a huge expense for an ordinary person could be just a few days' income for him.

"Congratulations."

Blaise laughed:

"Professor Carl likes gemstones?"

"No." Karl shook his head:

"I prefer the story behind the necklace to the gemstones on it."

"That's true." Blaise nodded.

"Those few gems alone wouldn't be worth this price, so crafting a good story can significantly increase the original value of the 'auction item.' That's what you call historical depth!"

"But Professor Carl, do you really believe that story?"

Hundreds of years ago, when relationships between men and women were more traditional, a woman could be admired by dozens of men.

This continues into old age...

The key point is that this woman doesn't have an outstanding appearance.

That sounds so fake!

"Why not?" Karl smiled.

"Perhaps this chain possesses some kind of magical power."

Blaise shook his head.

Next, Carr bid on a piece of amber that was formed millions of years ago, raising the price to £1.3 million.

According to him, the insects inside the amber likely have aspects that can be analyzed, making it worth the price.

After examining the necklace for a moment, Karl spoke:

"I'm going to the restroom."

"Um."

Blaze stared nervously at the item on the stage: a general's sword from the Kingdom of Cologne.

Kingdom of Cologne...

That was a very distant era.

Shortly after Karl stood up, a man in a suit in a corner of the auction room adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, whispered a few words to the woman next to him, and also stood up and headed towards the restroom.

"Charming necklace!" 』

Luo Wei was excited, gently stroking the ring on his left index finger with his right hand. He could clearly feel the roughness of the ring's surface on his fingertip, and at the same time, he could hear his heart beating faster due to his excitement.

"I searched for six whole years, and finally found the last item in Ms. Meiya's three-piece bedding set."

"Enchanting rings, enchanting necklaces, and..."

He touched his chest, where a drop of dormant 'blood' was about to awaken.

"The Heart of Enchantment!"

"If I can obtain these legendary three artifacts, I can activate the Heart of Enchantment and advance to the second-tier Enchantress."

"There's still a chance to become the Goddess of Enchantment!"

"call……"

As a mature superhuman who is not good at fighting, Luo Wei is most proud of his ability to control his emotions.

Even if they are very excited, they won't show it on their face.

When he arrived at the restroom door, he happened to see Karl, who had straightened his top hat, walking out of it.

"Hello."

"Hello there."

Karl stopped, looking at him with a half-smile:

"Something's up."

"Sir, I really like the necklace you just bought," Rowe said, his eyes shining, oblivious to anything amiss.

"I love it to the point of madness!"

"Hmm..." Karl pursed his lips:

"It seems my friend didn't participate in the bidding just now."

"Yes." Luo Wei nodded.

"It's not that I can't come up with several hundred thousand pounds, but that's still a significant amount for me."

"It's better to save it."

He looked at Karl, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light, and spoke slowly:

"Sir, I really like that necklace. Could you give it to me? And then, on your way back, you were so depressed that you found a secluded spot and jumped into the river to commit suicide."

?

Karl was speechless.

"You not only want my things, you also want my life?"

Ok?

The charm has lost its effect?

Extraordinary!

Luo Wei's expression changed drastically, and he turned to leave.

"Don't rush off."

Karl spoke slowly:

"I'm also very interested in what you have. Why don't you give it to me and I'll keep it safe?"

"By the way..."

He narrowed his eyes, many phantom images appearing within them, and a hint of killing intent crept into his voice:

"Release those girls in your basement, and have them confess to the Night Watch about how many women they've slept with over the years, how many they've killed after they got tired of them, and then commit suicide to atone for their sins."

"..." Luo Wei opened his mouth, the fear in his eyes gradually turning into confusion, and then he nodded gently:

"Yes."

As he spoke, he took off his ring, took out a dagger, and cut open his chest, taking out a drop of blood that looked like ruby.

After handing the item to Karl, he grinned and strode out of the auction house.

"The Heart of Enchantment?"

Karl lowered his head, looked at what was in his hand, and then gently squeezed it.

"Snap!"

The necklace, ring, and blood shattered instantly, transforming into a surge of pure energy that flowed into his body.

Source quality: +1200

"really."

"Many of the items in this world that possess extraordinary power were created after the fall of gods, which were then imbued with divine power."

After a moment's thought, Karl strode toward the meeting hall.

What just happened was just a minor incident for him.

The Enchanting Necklace, Enchanting Ring, and Enchanting Heart were the three pieces that Lady Meya wore hundreds of years ago.

It was precisely because of her alluring charm that she was able to captivate so many men, and even as she aged and lost her beauty, men remained devoted to her.

By chance, Lovi obtained the Enchanting Ring and the Enchanting Heart, and successfully activated the power of enchantment.

Unlike Ms. Miya.

He not only enjoyed possessing women, but also enjoyed torturing them; watching beautiful women wither away was the ultimate pleasure for him.

Using his charm, Loewe lured many women back to his residence over the past few years.

First they defiled him, then they tortured and killed him.

The basement was where he abused women, and more than a dozen disfigured female corpses were buried underground.

While having his way with women, Loewe was also searching for a seductive necklace.

Unlike the Enchanting Ring, the Enchanting Necklace possesses extraordinary power that is very well concealed, making it difficult even for extraordinary individuals to detect. Therefore, he had no clue until today when he encountered Karl again.

"I'm back."

Blaise turned around.

"Hmm." Karl sat down in his seat.

"Has anything good appeared?"

"No." Blaise shook his head, took out his tablet, tapped the screen, and whispered:

"There's something I might need your help with. My company discovered this thing while mining a vein."

"Take a look."

Karl lowered his head, his eyebrows slightly raised.

The screen shows a golden beetle, which, judging from the comparison object next to it, is about the size of an adult's palm.

"Golden beetle, a very ancient thing."

Sit up straight, and Karl said slowly:

"According to records, in ancient times, some 'pharaohs' would place these creatures to guard their bodies when they died. They may also be sealed demons that needed to be suppressed."

"In some ancient texts, the golden beetle is considered a sacred object, possessing a divine aura."

"A sacred relic?" Blaze curled his lip.

"They killed two miners and damaged the prospecting equipment, causing significant losses to the company."

"Professor, how can we get rid of them?"

"Because it's underground, using bombs would cause the mine to collapse, affecting the mining progress."

"It's best not to act rashly." Karl shook his head slightly.

"This type of creature usually does not exist alone."

"I'll go with you!"
