First, he glanced at the number of people present, then seemed to notice the gaze that Luo Wei was casting at him.
Even though the auctioneer couldn't see him, she still nodded and smiled at Luo Wei very politely.
"Now that everyone is here, let's begin the display of all the items before the official auction starts."
The host spoke softly.
After saying that, she snapped her fingers.
clatter……
With a crisp snap of fingers, the dining table in front of everyone did not rise or fall again this time; instead, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Immediately afterwards, two slightly raised food carts, covered with white sheets and still unmoved, slipped in through the crack in the door. The next moment, the lights throughout the room dimmed, and all eyes, along with the remaining light, focused on the two food carts that had just been pushed in, making them the center of attention along with the hostess beside them.
Without needing to say more, it's immediately obvious at a glance that the items covered by the white cloth are the precious goods to be displayed this time. Their value is even greater than the four pairs of gold-level magic eyes displayed yesterday. If nothing unexpected happens, these should be the two pairs of gem-level magic eyes registered on the roster.
Thinking of this, the magicians present couldn't help but hold their breath, their expressions becoming serious. Even Aozaki Touko was drawn to the strange magic emanating from the white cloth, focusing her gaze on the food cart, unwilling to look away for a moment, afraid of missing the exciting moment when the treasure would be revealed.
Seeing this scene, Luo Wei merely smiled inwardly, showing none of the excitement or fervor of the others who seemed to be welcoming something; he simply watched calmly. However, noticing Rita's furtive glance, he could only feign extreme curiosity and look towards the food cart to satisfy her vanity.
Rita was extremely satisfied with this.
Didn't you say you wanted to see the Gem-level Mystic Eye? Well then, see as much as you want.
Since this is your last time anyway, witness the miracle of a gem-level Mystic Eye before you die, and see my precious collection. That way, you can die without regrets, right? And this, too, is the greatest mercy I can show myself…
However, simply killing her would be too lenient with her.
Rita glanced at Aozaki Touko.
He needed to corrupt her soul before he could slowly torment her and feel better.
As for Lovi, let's spare his life for now, then turn him into a new familiar. With proper training, we can try to cultivate him into a squire no less formidable than the Black and White Knights – a good way to make use of him. It seems he'll soon have another powerful high-ranking Dead Apostle under his command.
In short, at Rita's satisfied signal, the final exhibition began.
"Please look, everyone. These are the two items I will be showcasing today. Due to their unique nature, they have not been given a real name. Such unusual eyes are only vaguely recorded in the more distant Age of Gods, and you are all probably familiar with the identity of the person who created them."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and the moment the host lifted the white cloth, the cylindrical glass container on the table in front of her appeared before their eyes.
The design remains familiar, with a pair of crystal-clear eyeballs floating in an amber-colored nutrient liquid.
Luo Wei frowned slightly at this, and continued to listen to what the other person was saying.
"Furthermore, the special value and historical significance of these two magical eyes even surpasses their actual value."
The blindfolded lady in front of me, just like one of the best professional TV presenters, eloquently explained the effects and origins of these gem-quality magic eyes.
"—Based on its abilities, we'll tentatively call it the 'Mystic Eyes of Insight.' However, the fact that these eyes are ranked among the gems indicates that their abilities go far beyond simply enhancing a magician's perception. To put it simply, it possesses two unique observational abilities: past vision and future vision. And the so-called insight it seeks is not about a person or thing, but something much deeper—that is… destiny."
At this point, the hostess maintained her deliberately mysterious tone.
"By now, I believe everyone here has guessed which great figure was the first person to record the existence of these eyes."
"We in this era regard him as a being comparable to a god. His true identity is... the son of King David, the husband of the Queen of Sheba, the third king of ancient Israel, the legendary magician king, King Solomon."
Upon hearing this, the entire carriage fell into a deathly silence.
Hansa, Orange, and Lehman all had incredibly strange expressions.
Especially when they heard that these magical eyes possessed both the top-tier abilities of seeing the future and seeing the past, and were particularly similar to the magical eyes of Solomon in mythological records.
The three of them displayed completely different expressions on their faces.
At this moment, Lehman's eyes revealed the purest longing and desire. His eyes were wide open, fixed on the glass container holding the Magic Eye on the dining table, his gaze burning with intense, burning desire, as if two raging flames were igniting within them. His lips parted slightly as he murmured, "An eye like the Magic King's... I must have it..."
Meanwhile, Aozaki Touko was also captivated by those bewitching eyes, especially after hearing the host's introduction, her interest was written all over her face.
Hansa, on the other hand, looked extremely displeased...
Eyes similar to those of King Solomon, the King bestowed by Heaven…isn’t that a sacred relic?!
Even if there is some resemblance, it should be placed in a church for worship, not here to be measured in money and desecrated in this way.
'What damned heretics...'
His fists were clenched so tightly they cracked, and his eyes were filled with barely suppressed rage.
Rita took in all their actions, and a smile began to spread across her face.
However, after hearing the introduction of her most prized collection, she quickly turned her head to observe someone, as if she was more interested in that person's behavior than in those miraculous magic eyes.
However, she was clearly going to be disappointed again this time.
Compared to the shock and disgust of others, Luo Wei was gently rubbing the golden ring on his finger, his expression remaining unchanged.
Having possessed one of the Ten Commandments and a Demon Pillar hidden by his side, he undoubtedly knew more than anyone else present.
Therefore, he knew better than anyone whether those were eyes similar to Solomon's.
It's important to know that King Solomon's eyes have the ability to observe everything in the past and future, and their effect is not on a single person or object, but on the entire world. His eyes are not the Magic Eyes, but the clairvoyance Ex, which is standard for Grand Casters.
A mere pair of eyes capable of observing the fleeting past and future is at best a close call; as for claiming to have the same eyes as Solomon, Luo Wei can only say, don't even try; it's a gross understatement of the Clairvoyant Ex. In this era, the only eye that could claim to be remarkably similar to King Solomon's Clairvoyant Eyes, in his opinion, is that of the old soothsayer in Guanbuzi City.
However, possessing the ability to observe both oneself and others, this domineering ability truly lives up to its reputation as a gem-level magic eye, and it is indeed a wonderful thing.
Just as the hostess was about to continue recounting the origin of these magical eyes...
Suddenly, Lowe raised his hand, interrupting her.
"Excuse me, I have a question I'd like to ask. Is this a convenient time?"
"……Um?"
Everyone present turned to look at him, and Aozaki Touko's eyes showed utter astonishment.
"Please speak."
Upon hearing this, the hostess nodded in response with utmost politeness.
"These are gem-grade magic eyes, right?"
"That's right, this is a genuine gem-grade magic eye, a mysterious treasure that is incredibly close to the eyes of the Magic King. Do you have any questions?"
"It's not exactly a problem... it's just that these demonic eyes look obviously strange. Don't you have any maintenance measures in place?"
"……Um?"
Luo Wei's surprising question left the host somewhat bewildered, and even the others focused their attention on him, completely unable to figure out what Luo Wei was trying to say.
No maintenance? Are you kidding me?
After all, this is a legendary gem-level magic eye, a treasure that can be found in only a handful of pairs in the entire world. Any normal magician would be eager to enshrine it and take meticulous care of it.
Luo Wei said that these magical eyes haven't been maintained, so what's going on?
Even Rita looked at Luo Wei with suspicion, completely baffled as to what he was up to.
"Don't you understand? It seems the demonic eyes in your sockets are just for show. Never mind..."
Seeing their puzzled expressions, Luo Wei strode up to the hostess. She was about to stop him, but Rita below shook her head slightly, wanting to see what Luo Wei meant.
"Everyone, please watch closely, the moment to witness a miracle has arrived."
Then, right in front of everyone present, Luo Wei picked up an unopened bottle of champagne from the table and, under everyone's gaze, smashed it hard against the glass container in front of him.
At this moment, some screamed, some tried to stop it, and some just wanted to watch the show. They wanted to see what Luo Wei was up to. Rita and the hostess, however, remained calm. They knew that the container holding this gem-grade magic eye was naturally protected with all sorts of defensive spells, and the train had never neglected its security and maintenance, performing this every night. How could a mere ordinary champagne bottle possibly...?
Bang--!!
Just at the same moment this thought arose in my mind.
A crisp sound of shattering glass rang in my ears.
As expected, the champagne bottle in Luo Wei's hand shattered, its contents splattering everywhere. But at that moment, the glass container holding the Demon Eye on the dining table also had a huge hole pierced by the champagne bottle. The amber liquid poured out without restraint, immediately staining the white tablecloth and the red carpet beneath their feet yellow.
The two precious demonic eyes that had been floating there fell to the ground like round glass marbles, and then, to everyone's astonishment, they turned into two smooth gems, which continued to roll slowly on the ground...
"How...is this possible?"
At that moment, everyone present held their breath, so shocked that they were speechless.
--boom! !
With a loud bang, Rita, who was sitting next to the dining table, slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, then let out an uncontrollable roar:
"The Demon Eye has been stolen! Lock down the entire area!!"
※※※※※※※
……
……
1W6.
Goodnight, Makka Pakka~
Chapter 137 An Empty Heart
--boom! !
A sharp cracking sound suddenly rang out in the room as Luo Wei swung the champagne bottle in his hand and smashed it hard against the crystal container on the dining table, which was intricately protected by multiple layers of enchantments.
In an instant, the two different glass materials clashed, the bottle shattered into pieces, and sharp shards of glass along with the wine began to fly everywhere. The entire food cart was shaken a few times by the powerful impact before crashing to the ground.
"This...this is?!"
Although her distinctive eyes were covered with special fabric strips, the changes in the hostess's facial expressions were still clearly visible.
People usually describe this expression as... astonishment.
Not only her, but the others who had been watching the situation from the table were also clearly shocked by what they saw.
So shocked were they that their dry throats remained silent for a long time, and they didn't know how to describe the scene before them. They could only stare intently at the tablecloth stained yellow by the amber liquid and the wine and other liquids flowing on the floor, their expressions extremely serious.
Bang--!!
Similarly, compared to the magicians who were still in shock and clearly unsettled, the one who had been sitting at the back of the table, watching the show with a smile, could no longer sit still.
A loud thud was heard as a hand slammed on the table. Everyone turned to look and saw that Rita was the first to recover from the shock of the scene. She suddenly slammed her hand on the table and stood up, drawing everyone's attention.
"Seal off the entire venue!"
With her angry shout, the magicians who had intended to go in and observe the situation all stopped and remained seated, not daring to make the slightest move, for fear of arousing any unnecessary suspicion.
