In the seaside capital, in the middle of December, in winter, the bell of the core city rings sixteen times.

The wind and snowflakes drifted over the city, and the clouds obscured the daylight, but the huge city was brighter on its own lights, and the pale fog lingered on the tops of the high-rises, but the streets of the city were blazing.

The outer and inner towns are filled with hanging lanterns and drapery, fluttering in the snow and ice, accompanied by the aroma of barbecued meat and fine wine. The grand unison of the orchestra for the performance is performed free of charge on the open-air stage, and the shocking faintness reaches the cold wind and clouds.

This is part of the custom in the southeast region of the Ai'an continent, the year-end carnival, which celebrates the coming of the new year, and it will last for two weeks until the second day of the new year.

In the ancient past, the essence of the carnival was that the locals had harvested all their food, planted their winter seeds, and had nothing to do between the first and second heavy snowfalls, passing the time by drinking wine and eating meat, and celebrating the end of the year's hard work.

This time of celebration has gradually evolved into a festival, and now it has become a culture, a means of promotion, all the merchants are shouting for the year-end sale to reduce the price, and many residents who are instigated by the festive atmosphere happen to have surplus food at this time, and it is natural to spend a little lavishly.

Either way, it's a celebration.

And the celebration needs to be enjoyed.

"Don't drink secretly, Seneca, you help me keep an eye on the other kids, these little ones want to try everything."

In the outer city, in a carnival venue bought by Chu Yaojian, the tall white-haired man leaned down and rubbed Luo Ya's dejected face, who was secretly approaching a bottle of fruit wine, until it was deformed, Su Sun brought Senekara who was smiling bitterly and instructed the other party: "If you really can't do it, just ask Lady Dawn and Master Suiguang for help, but before that, you also have to learn to adapt to this chaotic situation." ”

"No problem, Professor!"

Hearing Su Sun's blessing, Seneca came to his senses, he responded loudly, and then walked towards the place where the children gathered and played not far away.

Su Yan looked at his back with a smile.

Seneca's petrified face, which had healed most of it in the last month of Burning Ember Flame cultivation, was now a little stiff, and everything else was normal.

Except for Gasha, who was the first to steal fruit wine and was already drunk, all the children were now celebrating the festival in the outer city, and Suiguang and Dawn watched these little ones enjoy the long-lost cheerful atmosphere, where ordinary people and demonizers were equal.

Since three weeks ago, when Dawn also began to practice the Ember Flame, her strength has also grown considerably.

The goblin is a pure energy creature, even if it is a silver goblin, the talent is far beyond ordinary people, plus her soul has undergone a long time of polishing, and it is extremely pure, so she has practiced all the way, and her cultivation progress is almost like a fly, and in all the children who have practiced before, Luo Ya has barely been caught up with her extraordinary talent for sainthood.

After coming to the seaside capital and waiting for the year-end auction for more than a month, the name of Xiguang Association has gradually become vaguely famous in the circle of professionals.

All thanks to Master Suiguang - since Su Sun bought him a complete set of alchemy equipment and mechanical engineering tools, he has made a lot of useful small parts, and after Su Sun, he will popularize some alchemy knowledge for all children.

Suiguang's craftsmanship, some small bits and pieces he made casually, as well as tutoring the children's manual work, such as some source flashlights, food heaters he carried, etc., are all sold quite well, and the quality is also very good because of the supervisor.

Seeing this scene, Su Yan was also quite touched, and then selected a few from the children, mainly Gasha, to teach them their own commonly used martial arts.

Although it is often ridiculed as a second-rate martial artist, in fact, Su Day's combat experience has returned to the basics, at least touching the level of the top of the first-class, and he is using dragon blood supernatural powers, as well as various strange combat methods, it can be said that he is super first-class, or even extraordinary!

"- Gasha, look at it, you're a dragonman, so you can do it!"

Saying this, Su Sun at that time breathed out, directly scorching the metal steam of the metal humanoid as a target, causing the golden-red storm to churn endlessly in the restraint field, like a raging lava sun.

Looking at this scene with a shocked face, and hearing Su Sun's encouragement, Gasha's heart was full of confusion in addition to being unusually dumbfounded.

- No, you're not a dragon, but a devil, aren't you? Why do you spew dragon's breath?!

And my bloodline is a sea dragon, although it's not that I can't cultivate fire source energy, but it's a little impossible to spray such a dragon's breath, right?

Thinking like this, Gasha politely put forward his opinions to Su Sun, such as saying that he was still young and lacked talent.

But how could a sea dragon be such an inconvenience? Su Sun had a bold answer to Gasha's confusion, and he demonstrated a stunt for Gasha to split water into hydrogen and oxygen on the spot, and then create an unusually grand firestorm.

The reason why Su Sun is so concerned about the orphans is that in addition to the fact that he is indeed a good person and his predecessor really loves them, he also wants to let the people of this world gain their own strength.

Candlelight, the sign of change - this is certainly true, the young souls who come through the world, as long as they appear, will bring about great changes.

But what about after the change?

Su Sun firmly believed that he could save this world that had been turned into twilight and was on the verge of destruction, but ...... And it's just pulling the world out of the woods.

After the predicament, what needs to be done is the most difficult 'creation'.

After he leaves, the Aion world needs these children as sparks and seeds to grow and become giant trees that support the world, and then continue to transform the world and make it better.

Inheritance...... Continuation, there is still existence.

Naturally, it is also part of the innovation.

"Please come in, Professor Svetley, please this way!"

Thinking like this, Su Yan had already bid farewell to the Xiguang Association and his party who were playing happily, and came to the auction house in the core city of the coastal capital.

On the ancient streets of the core city, the crowd is surging, although the atmosphere of the carnival has weakened a lot here, but at this time, even the nobles and big businessmen will visit each other, get acquainted with each other, all kinds of luxury cars and cars emerge in endlessly, Su Sun even saw a small mobile airship floating in the air, it is completely the creation of the source stone technique, extremely rare.

Under the respectful greeting of the receptionist of the auction house, Su Sun entered the inside of the auction house, there were not many people here, but all of them were very strong, and the turbulent source energy fluctuations were like a lake in a rainstorm.

Just by a glance, Su Sun could see the sparse and ordinary Heartlight Rank professionals like Chinese cabbage, even if some people looked a little ordinary and had average strength, but fools knew that it was just a disguise to get used to.

"It seems that I'm the only one who is a genuine spiritual radiance level."

With such a sigh of self-emotion, the white-haired man, who had no one within five meters of him, shook his head slightly and continued to follow the receptionist.

The surface part of the auction house built in the central area of the core city is nothing more than an office space and reception hall, and its body is located underground, and after going hundreds of meters deep into the core city, Su Sun came to the real gate of this underground auction hall with an ancient atmosphere.

In the doorway, two old men with the true membership of the Falseth family on their chests stood, their faces expressionless like statues, even in the face of the continuous onslaught of layers of energy, their posture remained immovable.

More turbulent than the sea, deeper source energy lingers around them, and even faintly condenses into an almost physical illusion, which makes people's hearts awe-inspiring.

The strength of these two guards obviously has a high-level Xinguang, and even the pinnacle level, a strong person of this level is a guest everywhere, even if he is in the imperial army, he can be a colonel, commanding a division, and having such a guest of this level in an ordinary aristocratic family is enough to show off to other families.

It can be seen that the year-end auction of the seaside capital is indeed the highest standard in the world.

"There are four gates in the auction hall, Professor, in order to avoid conflicts, the Imperial Side, the Northern Bloc, the Southeast Noble Union and the Liberals each have their own different venues, you are a Liberal, please follow down to your exclusive box."

After entering the gate, the receptionist changed, and Su Sun knew the other party, who was the secretary who ran errands beside Omas, who was sent by Irmas to receive him personally.

And halfway to the box, he was still introducing some forces that need to be paid attention to in this auction for Su Day: "Look, the representative of the Third Army of the Empire over there is also the representative of the will of the imperial family. When the general of the Third Army, Mr. Akharonov, was a small soldier, he and His Majesty, who was only a concubine at that time, were trained on the battlefield, and the first knight of the empire at that time also fought with them. ”

"The First Horseman?"

Hearing the vague admiration in the mouth of this secretary, Su Ri, who knew from the secret agents of the empire, knew that the seaside capital was actually quite incompatible with the empire, and asked curiously: "Is the strongest of the imperial military nobles?" ”

"No, sir, although many people don't admit it, at least we think that Mr. Irowitz, the First Knight, is the strongest in the Empire!"

Hearing Su Yan's inquiry, the secretary shook his head and retorted while bringing in: "Mr. Irowitz does not want to become a nobleman, nor does he join the army, he just offers his loyalty to His Majesty and voluntarily becomes a knight who guards him, a knight who belongs only to His Majesty. ”

"At that time, Your Majesty had just ascended the throne, and I wanted to give Mr. Ilovitz a duke's giant city as a food town, but many of the great nobles objected, but Your Majesty made all those unwilling nobles willing...... It's just that Mr. First Knight is unwilling. ”

The secretary was obviously a fan of the First Horseman, at least a romantic person, Su Yan smiled and listened to him explain for a few minutes the First Horseman's past and Asmodeh XIII, who was still a concubine, and Admiral Akharolov's adventures that almost traveled around the world, and his heart couldn't help but move slightly: "That's right, no matter what Asmodey XIII will be like in the future, at least in the past, now, he still has many people who support him." Just because he treats the infected with viciousness may not mean that he treats those around him badly. ”

What exactly is he going to do? What is the real purpose?

Why does he seem to be able to control the Divine Tree, but yet he has a connection with the Dusk Clan?

It was precisely in order to understand this, to understand the true thoughts of the powerful emperor who had a high chance of destroying the barbarian offensive in the future, thwarting the invasion of the Dusk Clan, pacifying the entire continent, and opening the New Era Era, that Su Sun was willing to spend more than a month waiting for this auction, trying to sense the core of the Divine Tree that should be extremely important.

"This is it, Professor Svetley, your box."

The secretary respectfully took Su Sun into it, the private box on the third floor was quite good, there were not only tea rich in source energy, but also all kinds of rare fruits that were beneficial to cultivation, and there was incense burning in the room that could make people calm and sober, just such a set, I am afraid it would cost one or two thousand imperial coins.

Sitting on the seats, you can either project a light screen on the transparent glass or directly observe the underground plaza on the first floor, which is used to display the auction items, and the auction hall is already full of visitors, and everyone is probably a big man in their territory.

No one dares to perceive each other, everyone is jealous, and the spirit is also reserved.

But even so, with his instinctive momentum, it was like a big whirlpool in the ocean that was enough to engulf the island, and Su Sun could sense at least four or five 'Divine Consciousness Rank' professionals in the entire auction hall.

Most of these Divine Consciousness Rank professionals belong to different blocks, and each of them is the center of a group.

"Dafang is wearing a military uniform, a representative of the imperial military...... A group of hooded robes, silver on a gray background, diamond-shaped coats of arms, representatives of the Order of the Chasing Light. ”

Squinting his eyes, Su Ri's mind came up with the various imperial secrets that Master Suiguang had explained to him, as well as the characteristics between the big forces: "That banner is the City of Wind and Frost, and the Northern Yanshuang Army is also here?" It was indeed full of murderous air, and it felt quite familiar. ”

"White robe stone crown, sun crest, this is the Holy Sun Sect. Wait......"

Seeing the end, Su Sun suddenly frowned: "Why is the Dusk Clan also there?" Isn't that the Northland Barbarian Tribe? Can they cross half the continent to buy things in the coastal capital? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to buy it back? ”

"This auction, basically all the camps are gathered together, and the neutral place is this good, so convenient, no wonder all the forces want the existence of the seaside capital."

These big forces all have a divine will level guard, and they are completely different from other forces and singles in terms of specifications and momentum alone.

"Wait."

At this moment, Yara suddenly spoke, and he appeared in Su Sun's ears, and looked in the direction where the Yanshuang Army was for a while with some confusion: "Those people ...... Have the breath of my family? ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Su Sun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the Yanshuang Army - a group of soldiers carrying banners and wearing armor. He didn't see any aura of the Chaos Clan: "Really? That's obviously a military formation, right? ”

"Having said that, the Yanshuang Army and the barbarians should be mortal enemies, and they haven't fought before they get together, which is really a bit outrageous."

"What's so strange about this, on your side of the earth, don't you also have the Perfect Clan, the Herald Clan, the Shenmu Clan and the Chaos Clan? Have you ever fought in private? It's not all fun. ”

Yara flicked her tail, and she had become very large, nearly two meters long, wrapped around Su Sun's arm, like a red armguard.

The snake spirit said softly: "The aura of the dependents on these soldiers is very weak, but it is very pure, which proves that they have indeed been in contact with my clan, and the strength of the other party is quite good, so even if a long time has passed, even you can't sense it, and it still remains on their bodies." ”

"No, it's probably not contact...... They just saw my family, and they were imprinted by the breath of the other party. ”

“…… It seems that the world is really chaotic. ”

Su Yan didn't feel anything, he just sighed and said, 'Chaos is really everywhere', and then continued to look at the field.

And just as the man was observing the audience, a dull bell rang.

And so the year-end auction began.

There was no opening remark, and there was no host to stir up the atmosphere - with the strength and identity of the group of people on the scene, even the current head of the Falseth family was not qualified to do so, so he simply went straight to the auction to relieve it.

"Start, first lot!"

The person in charge of presiding was an elder of the Falses family, he had the strength of the high level of divine will, and the source energy that lingered around him was about to be transformed into another more pure and condensed form, and the energy fluctuations visible to the naked eye rippled in reality with his every move.

Su Sun could perceive that if calculated by the method of the earth, the strength of the elder of the Falses family in front of him was only one step away from the earth immortal, and he had already stepped on the threshold of the 'spiritual path', and only needed to completely convert his source energy into another pure energy, and greatly expand his energy reserves, he could become an earth immortal, that is, the 'calamity' of this world, which could shelter a mobile city-state and a family for thousands of years.

It's just that the disaster itself is pain and disaster, even if theoretically the lifespan of the disaster realm powerhouse is longer than that of an empire, but the war of empire replacement can kill many strong people who have surpassed natural disasters.

And just after the elder of the Falseth family announced the start, the auction hall, which was originally as turbulent as the deep sea, but maintained a calm surface, finally became a little hotter, and his eyes were full of anticris.

After all, everyone knows that at the annual year-end auction on the seaside, no auction item can be considered ordinary!

Immediately after the elder's voice landed, accompanied by a burst of spatial fluctuations, a giant triangular cone source energy mechanical creation with a height of thirty meters appeared among everyone like this, even if this creation was not operational, but the source energy fluctuations that were rich enough to make ordinary people suffer from demonic diseases spread around it!

"The small city source energy furnace heart, with the certificate of the title of the baron of the nobility of the southern border, after forming a city, automatically become the lord of the southern realm."

Briefly introduced, the elder didn't say much, and none of the people present needed him to explain: "The reserve price, sixty million, or the same value of the channeling technique, the secret ritual and the alchemy potion." ”

The auction hall was quiet for a while, as the opening thing, the rights and territorial core of a real nobleman are not shabby, but rather, this thing is the real hard currency, no matter what the force, who doesn't want to have one more subordinate city-state in their territory?

After a few seconds, someone started quoting.

Su Yan was not interested in any of this, so he didn't listen carefully to the process of those offers, he just squinted his eyes, and realized that the person who finally made a deal with a secret instrument of the same level seemed to belong to the Northland barbarians.

"It's not surprising, after all, whether it's Winter or Sunset, how much the tribe longs for more of its own cities, not just simple mobile tribes."

Shaking his head slightly, Su Tian felt quite strange - the enemies of the entire continent civilization actually used money to buy the strategic materials they needed the most at the auction on the mainland.

It's really not surprising that capitalists would sell ropes to hang themselves, and it's no wonder that in the future Luo Ya's experience, he is not short of alchemy equipment and materials, and the giant god soldiers who break through the Yanshuang Pass are the embodiment of the alchemy technology at the top of the entire Aion world.

The second auction item is a training manual for the powerhouse of the Calamity, a powerful secret method of manipulating flames, which is said to be able to create the Burning Sea Divine Soldier that burns all things, originating from the ancient Montella Federation that has long disappeared into the dust of history.

This thing is also a hard currency that can't be done, at least in this world where the inheritance is not publicized, there is no cultivation by the whole people, and the cultivation of the Fa is a real wealth - although for Su Tian, who has never lacked cultivation, this seems a little strange, but in the vast majority of transcendent worlds, knowledge and experience can be directly converted into power.

And power itself is the greatest wealth.

Su Sun was even less interested in this, wouldn't his antimatter engine Star Slashing Sword be fragrant? Although it can only slash stars most of the time, it is much more powerful than this nuclear fusion flame sword, which is only tens of millions of degrees at most.

In the following auctions, all kinds of wonderful creations and sacred objects are also endless, which is dazzling.

A powerful channeling technique that can protect the town and avoid natural disasters.

A potion of energy that can restore the dead to health, and a rare source of energy that can be produced in batches.

Powerful Plague Divine Weapons, ownership of a mine, and a variety of powerful alchemy creations and spell scrolls.

Every auction item, released to the outside world, is enough to cause a commotion, or even a war—but here, everyone is fairly relying on wealth to solve the problem of ownership.

Money is not a problem.

Even Su Sun has purchased a set of processing modules for large mobile warships—a giant battleship module that can be loaded onto the Chuyao, making it even larger and stronger, with at least the most self-sufficient industrial production capacity.

Originally, he wanted to sell another set of ecological circulation systems for battleships, but the value of this module was too low to be bought at auction, and it seemed that he could only order it from a factory related to the seaside capital later.

"Then again, I let those children practice, I let them learn alchemy, and now I want them to do industrial processing...... Isn't it a bit too much child labor? ”

After thinking for a while, Su Sun shrugged his shoulders: "I'm really a good person." ”

And now, he understands why the year-end auction has everyone's tacit approval.

This is essentially the major forces pinching their noses and sitting down for an underground meeting of resource integration, they each have their own purpose and mind, but in this neutral area, they only use wealth to speak, and what curiosities even money can't buy.

With the successful completion of the transaction of the auction items that were completely magical and strange objects outside, time also passed quickly.

Then, the penultimate lot, the finale, came on.

Su Yan raised his eyebrows.

Because that's the perfect metal he makes.

"It is more perfect than today's standard flawless metal, more than two levels of standard materials, and the highest grade of source energy steel, which can be used to manufacture giant metropolitan super source energy furnace parts, disaster gods, and core components of the city protection secret instrument."

It was still a simple but informative introduction, and the Elder showed only five boxes of the simplest metal ingots—but even so, the entire auction room fell silent in an instant.

Silent.

The credibility of the Falses family is the reason for their existence to this day, and no one would suspect that they would lie, so everyone gasped and understood the value of the five boxes of Source Energy Steel in front of them.

Yes, not the finished product.

But because it's not a finished product, it's precious!

For the people who appeared in this auction room, could there be anyone who didn't know how to make the source energy furnace heart, the casting technique of the divine weapon, or how to perform the secret ritual?

Everyone knows, but there is a lack of materials.

However, if there are so many boxes of flawless source energy steel...... Whether it's creating the highest level of Source Energy Furnace, or a looter that induces a natural disaster, or a shield that can withstand all destruction...... If you want to, you can do it!

What it stands for is limitless possibilities!

"Who is it, how is it possible to make so much flawless metal?!"

"Five boxes, this can be used as a dozen calamity gods......"

"Oh my God, how many cities lack these...... Although theoretically, it can be made by a disaster powerhouse or a giant source energy factory, it is not precious...... But who would think that there is not enough flawless metal to even take it out and trade it?! ”

"And it's much higher quality than the average flawless metal!"

The elder in the arena looked around the silent auction hall, and he smiled slightly—no one knew the meaning of flawless metal better than the Arces family, and that was why they would rather pay a little more and pay a deposit first to buy the other five boxes.

In particular, the recent period has been turbulent, although it seems to be calm......

Although five boxes of flawless metal are not much, and it is impossible to really affect the true strength of a big force, the benefits and advantages it can bring are even more unclear, and they cannot be measured by money at all.

"The reserve price is 70 million, or other strange things of the same value!"

The elder announced this, and at the moment when his words fell, the representative of the Imperial Military immediately quoted: "One hundred and twenty million. ”

The young voice was directly added to 50 million, and the voice was extremely calm.

"140 million." The second sound directly doubles the initial price.

In the main hall, within five minutes, the price was contested sixteen times, and it slowed down after it came directly to the price of 320 million.

After all, this is only the finale, and it is not a treasure for these forces to really come together and prepare to compete.

- But to be honest, even if this is the case, Su Sun thinks it is an exaggeration.

But when you think about it, it's not surprising.

"If many countries on the earth want to auction an alloy material that is far better than the material of the earth's spacecraft, but it is not irreversible, they will definitely not be stingy with the price - a material that transcends the times means a creation that transcends the times."

Soon, in the end, these five boxes of flawless metal were obtained by the Light Chaser Sect for 360 million - Su Ri's heart felt really delicate, because he was also a member of the Light Chaser Order, and with Su Sun's raw materials, the chair legs that Master Suiguang had recently built for himself were all of this grade of flawless metal.

Good guys, the price of an iron chair starts at 200 million, it's too extravagant, it's too extravagant.

Not to mention that the armor outer layer of the Chuyao ship is completely flawless metal, and the price is tsk.

And Yara was entrenched on Su Sun's shoulder, and he had been watching the auction all the time.

However, unlike Su Day, who was just watching the play and waiting for the Divine Tree, the snake spirit flicked his tail and counted softly: "There is the Divine Tree, there is the Dusk, there is the Pioneer, there is mine, and there is even a balance...... So many families gathered together. ”

"Ha, it's really worthy of the world of twilight, there is everything, you can open a great existence family appreciation encyclopedia."

After this auction, Su Sun can earn more than 600 million imperial coins, or strange artifacts of the same level.

It sounds like a lot, but if you want to build a real power and association, it may be just enough.

But Su Sun didn't care, it was just a big deal to sell some materials.

Off the floor, the real climax of the whole auction is coming.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the year-end auction of the Seaside Capital is coming to an end, and I would like to introduce you to the last treasure, a supreme artifact excavated from the ruins of the ancient age of the gods, with the power of strange immortality, a treasure that almost exists with the world!"

At this moment, even the elders, who had always spoken briefly, bowed slightly to the audience, and spatial fluctuations appeared, and a huge opaque crystal standing cabinet appeared in the center of the square: "Please watch." ”

The audience was silent, and after a minute of silence, he opened the cabinet door.

The dense and substantial mist of vitality overflowed from it and spread to the whole audience—in just an instant, all those who inhaled this mist felt refreshed, the dark wounds in their bodies began to heal, and even their lifespan increased faintly.

Then, a cyan illusion of source energy like a flame of light ignited in the center of the mist.

A tangled tree core that resembles a rhizome and takes on a translucent form appears in front of everyone.

"Immortal Firewood...... Or, the core of the Burning Sacred Tree. ”

Ask for a commuter pass!
