Farsky Auction House!
As one of the six largest cities around the Ancient Tree Sea, the flow of people here is huge. There are no less than tens of millions of people coming and going every day, with a permanent population of three to four million. And this doesn't even include the "locals" in the virtual network world. If you add them in, there are at least six to seven million people in this area.
As the high-level trading center of the Far Sky City, the Sky Auction House is extremely prosperous and is located in the central area of the city. The flow of people here is at least several tens of thousands per day.
You should know that this is a high-end consumption area. Almost all high-level items are traded here. Although tens of thousands of people may not seem like a lot, the value of the money they bring accounts for more than 30% of the entire economy of Far Sky City. This is enough to glimpse the terror of this area.
The Sky Auction House is not only for auctions, but also for general trading. Therefore, the area here is divided into two sections: the trading area and the auction area.
"May I help you with something?" The maid looked at the two people in front of her, a big one and a small one. The little girl was exquisitely carved and very cute, with a pink and tender appearance, while the teenager, although dressed in plain clothes, had a special ethereal temperament.
"I want to auction something." The little girl turned and glanced at the girl behind her, and said.
"Okay, please come with me, guests!" The maid led the two of them into a nearby corridor. This is the place specifically for appraising auction items.
"Please, guests!" The maid led them into a small room and then stepped back.
The two people are naturally Bexia and Noria. After entering the small house, there was a middle-aged man wearing glasses inside. He politely asked Bexia to sit in front of him.
But there was only one chair, so after Bexia sat down, Noria could only stand. In fact, she wanted to turn back into her fairy form and stay on Bexia's shoulder, but she was ordered not to by him.
"Ah!" Bexia reached out and hugged Noria into her arms. Her unexpected movement made Noria pause for a moment, but she also stiffened her body and dared not move. After all, she was being held by her owner. Leaving aside whether she dared to resist, Noria's mind was currently blank.
"Guest, you can now take out the item you need to appraise." The middle-aged appraiser said with a smile.
"Noria, show him the item!" Bexia patted Noria's head and spoke. As a flower fairy, especially one cultivated from the "Wine God Flower," Noria constantly emitted an aroma similar to that in Wine Brewing. Just by smelling it, one would feel like they were drinking alcohol.
"Oh...oh!" Noria felt the chin against the top of her head and blushed as she took out the Chaos Wine, which Bexia had modified with her power, and handed it to the middle-aged appraiser.
"What is this..." Opening a corner of the bottle, the scent that emanated made him tremble all over, and he immediately covered the lid again.
"What is the effect of this bottle of wine?"
"Directly increases two levels, greatly enhances soul strength, and also has a chance to comprehend innate abilities!" Bexia simply stated the effect of the Chaos Wine, which made the appraiser's expression look like he had seen a ghost.
"But it only works on levels below eighty!" Bexia continued.
"This is not something that I can appraise. Please wait a moment, guest!" The middle-aged appraiser got up and knocked on the wall behind him three times. After about ten breaths, the wall automatically opened, and an old man with white hair walked out. Although his hair was white, his eyes were extremely sharp.
The middle-aged appraiser bowed to the elder and greeted him as "teacher". He whispered a few words in his ear, and then the old man's gaze turned towards Bexia, specifically at the Chaos Wine on the table.
The old man hurriedly walked to the appraisal table, sitting on the chair that originally belonged to the middle-aged appraiser. He opened the cap of the Chaos Wine and took a sniff.
"Good stuff! This is really good!" The light in the old man's eyes shimmered even more. With a wave of his hand, many appraisal tools appeared, and he used a crystal wand to collect a drop of Chaos Wine for a series of complex appraisals.
Bexia found it boring and even felt like yawning. It was the middle-aged appraiser who looked excited, while he was bored to death.
He changed his position and held Noeira, making her face him directly. Bexia patted her head, feeling that something was not right, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"...Nothing...I'm fine!" It was a surprise for her to be hugged by her master, especially in this position that made her shy. However, she wouldn't refuse, and she even liked this kind of closeness. In order to avoid misunderstandings, she immediately explained herself.
"Don't be nervous, I won't eat people!"
"...It's okay, Master...even if you want to eat me, it doesn't matter. I belong to you anyway. You can treat me however you want!" Noeira's voice was small, but the room was small too, and it was quiet around. Even with a soft voice, it could still be heard clearly.
Upon hearing Noeira's words, the middle-aged appraiser, who had been focused on the appraisal, looked at Bexia strangely. After all, Noeira's words were quite misleading, especially considering her small size. Although it was despicable, he knew that some people liked this kind of petite loli and enjoyed doing teeth-gritting things.
Just based on this sentence, Bexia was classified as that kind of person. However, the middle-aged appraiser didn't express anything, just gave Bexia a weird look and withdrew his gaze. After all, it wasn't the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he had no power to intervene. Not to mention that the relationship between the two in front of him was master and servant, and these words came from the little loli herself. Even if something really happened, no one could do anything about it.
"You're so cute, I couldn't bear to eat you. I like you so much, how could I want to eat you?" Bexia really liked this little fairy, of course, it was just a kind of liking, different from his love for Christine. If he had to explain, it would be a feeling of liking someone like a sister. He hadn't become so deviant as to have any thoughts about the little Noeira.
Although she was a legal loli, and even a bit intimidating in terms of age--if counted from when she became a flower fairy, Noeira's age was approximately... (hard to say).
"Cough cough!" The old man coughed lightly to catch Bexia's attention.
"Esteemed guest, I have finished appraising your items. It indeed has the effects you described!"
"I just want to know if it's enough for me to participate in the auction." Bexia was not interested in the old man and simply asked.
"It's enough! It's enough! This item will be our highlight." The old man immediately said. If this item wasn't qualified, wouldn't the rest be rubbish?
"In that case, I leave it to you. I hope it will be auctioned at a good price."
"Definitely! Definitely!" The old man nodded hastily and randomly pulled out a black and gold card, handing it to Bexia. He said, "This is the supreme card of our Far Space Auction House. Please keep it safe, as the auction will take place in three days!"
"Oh..." Bexia nodded casually as if nothing had happened.
