"Ghost Boy" Cassie, a high-ranking apostle, belongs to the Nirvana team of the apostle city "End of the Sky", and had a brief encounter with Qin Lun in the world of Nars.
At that time, Cassie and the other two high-level apostles of the Nirvana team conspired to assassinate the legendary archdruid—Master Weima, but they were destroyed by Qin Lun, Hill and others. Qin Lun narrowly escaped death in that battle, and finally learned the first A+ level magic skill Tree Boundary Descends, but his knight Iron Cross was also taken away by the forest and the goddess of moonlight.
However, to be honest, Qin Lun and Cassie have no personal grievances. Sometimes the apostles get opposite plot lines, and as a result, one party will suffer and lose. What's more, at that time Qin Lun was sincerely invited by Cassie, a high-level apostle, before he changed his job, and they had a good impression of each other.
"You are..." Cassie looked a little hesitant, he remembered a little bit, but he didn't dare to confirm it.
"Nars!" Qin Lun smiled and raised his wine glass, nodding to him.
"Isn't it, is it really you?" Cassie's eyes widened, and there was a hint of shock on the baby's face, "Are you at a high level?"
"Not yet. It's the second level. I came with someone else." Qin Lun smiled reservedly.
"Oh!" Cassie let out a sigh of relief, and then shook his head with a wry smile, "It's too soon, I remember you just touched the edge of your career... How many mission worlds did it take you to reach the second level, twelve? Thirteen? No more than fifteen?"
Cassie's big eyes turned around, and there was a hint of playfulness between the eyebrows.
"Don't guess, it's only the second level, so it's not worth your concern!" Qin Lun smiled wryly, he didn't dare to underestimate the person in front of him. In fact, they didn't win in terms of planning at the time. If the forest goddess hadn't peeped at his Iron Cross, he would have died long ago.
"Hehe, that's pretty good too!" Cassie patted him on the shoulder familiarly, and said with a smile, "This is your first time at the club, come on, let me introduce you to some friends."
Cassie led Qin Lun to stop and go in the crowd, and it could be seen that this "ghost boy" was not only extremely intelligent, but also seemed to be very popular. After wandering all the way, he led Qin Lun to get in touch with no less than seven or eight large groups.
"You have a good face, so you really want to be more popular!" Qin Lun watched Cassie acting coquettishly and cutely beside the two female apostles with a half-smile, and couldn't help touching his chin. It's a pity that his personal style is different. Even if Qin Lun has such a baby face, it is probably difficult to pretend to be so tender.
After chatting with Kaxi for a long time, Qin Lun finally left. More and more apostles came to the club, but the flow of people in the flower garden began to stabilize after entering and leaving the manor. Most of them had already listed the auction items, and they were almost ready to start working.
Qin Lun returned to the back garden of the castle, caught an auction flying board, and slowly checked the auction list.
The club is held every two months. Because of the expensive tickets and transaction tax, most high-ranking apostles will not come every time, and the number of people in each session is roughly maintained at more than two hundred people.
However, Broken Starry Sky had a recent battle with Superstring Space, causing turmoil in every apostle city, so this auction will be more lively. According to Qin Lun's rough estimate, the number of apostles in the manor has reached five hundred.
"These auction items are very good!" Qin Lun glanced through the auction list, his eyes twinkling.
At this time, there are almost a thousand auction items listed, and Qin Lun is somewhat interested in 70% to 80% of the items. It is indeed a high-end auction. However, the prices of these auction items were also frighteningly high. The lowest auction price he had seen so far was 250,000 broken crystals, which belonged to a purple gold magic wand.
As for the recovery items and high-level magic scrolls listed as world treasures, these items are not sold individually, most of them are sold in bundles of two or three, and some high-demand magic scrolls are sold in bundles with lesser-known scrolls.
This method made Qin Lun feel very novel, but it can also be seen that the auction process here is very mature, which minimizes the risks for buyers and sellers, and also leaves speculators with nothing to do.
The auction list is roughly divided into four categories: equipment, skill scrolls, consumables, and bloodline items. Qin Lun first focused on consumables. According to the plan he discussed with several other murderers, he first needs to buy some high-level magic scrolls in order to enhance his self-protection ability in the world of Toril.
This is one of the benefits of having a world token. If you change to other mission worlds, everyone doesn't know if you can use magic scrolls, so naturally you won't spend a lot of money to buy high-level scrolls.
Qin Lun counted the points on the flying board and selected five bundled magic scrolls. Because he didn't know whether he could succeed in the auction, he had to choose a few more spare items, but not too many. After the auction item is selected, the auction funds will be frozen by Starry Sky. Unless you give up the auction item, you will no longer be able to use this part of the funds.
Among the five bundled magic scrolls, four of them are of mixed type, that is, there is one for both offensive and defensive support, but each has a different focus. Although most of the bundled magic scrolls are popular scrolls and side scrolls, the auctioneer also pays attention to matching to maximize the practicability of the auction items.
For example: The most expensive bundle of magic scrolls selected by Qin Lun consists of a ninth-level fire magic meteor pendant, seventh-level light magic Holy Light Healing, and seventh-level earth magic dungeon cage.
Meteor Fall, a large area offensive fire magic, is very popular, but Light's Mending and Great Dungeon Cage are not. The holy light system has miraculous effects on exorcising curses and black magic damage, but the pure medical effect is not as good as water magic. The large dungeon cage is very practical as a defensive magic, but it is a bit embarrassing that the level cannot be higher or lower. The effect it can play is actually not much different from the sixth-level earth wall.
One is four-sided protection, and the other is single-sided protection. The single-sided protection of the earth wall can also be used to block the enemy, but the big dungeon cage can only be used when surrounded by people. In addition, the seventh-level magic is twice as expensive as the sixth-level magic scroll, which is really not worth it.
Apart from these four bundles of mixed scrolls, the other bundle of magic scrolls selected by Qin Lun is a bit different. This is a set of special-purpose magic scrolls, which are the eighth-level lethal ray and two seventh-level beholder wills.
Even Qin Lun was a little surprised when he first saw the introduction of this group of magic scrolls. Because this set of magic scrolls does not belong to magic in the usual sense, but the innate magic of the beholder family.
Judging from the introduction of magic, the lethal ray is very powerful, even as powerful as some ninth-level magic and forbidden spells. The only disadvantage is that it belongs to single-target damage magic.
When this magic scroll is opened, it will produce a lethal ray equivalent to that emitted by the beholder monarch. The magic ray will produce an instant determination of the mental will of the target. If the mental power is less than that of the Beholder Lord, the soul will be annihilated directly, which can be described as extremely weird.
Under normal circumstances, non-apostles and story legendary occupations have no resistance to this magic, and the upper limit of the spiritual power of the beholder monarch is comparable to that of a god. If it weren't for the special protection of the will of the legendary occupations, even they would be easily attacked.
Even if the judgment of mental will is exempted, the lethal ray will also produce an additional mental shock, which will produce similar effects of stiffness and hallucinations depending on the degree of the opponent's immunity.
However, Qin Lun's main purpose for this bundle of magic is not the lethal ray, but the will of two seventh-level beholders. Beholders themselves are creatures with high spiritual will, and it is almost difficult for even the gods to enslave this kind of creature. They often control the underground creatures in a dark area alone, and they rarely communicate with other members of the same race.
The magic effect of the seventh-level beholder will they produce is to temporarily increase the user's spiritual will by nearly 30 points, and there are no other side effects, but the apostle's original spiritual naked attribute must reach 60 points or more.
Qin Lun's spiritual naked attribute has 73 points, and the added equipment attribute has 99 points. The main reason he wanted this magic was to cast the A+ level ninth-level wood magic——The Arrival of the Tree Realm. To him, two scrolls of the seventh-order beholder's will are equivalent to two descending tree worlds, and the price/performance ratio is very high.
However, for the high-level apostles present, their physical attributes have already reached their peak, and most of the skills suitable for their own professions will not have any obstacles to casting spells. As a result, this magic scroll is very biased, most of them have no idea, it is completely an addition to the eighth-order lethal ray.
In fact, it was the same. When Qin Lun saw the bundle of scrolls, no one cared about them at all. No matter how good the lethal ray was, it wasn't worth spending two useless scrolls. He believed that he could buy this bundle of magic scrolls at the reserve price.
After browsing the magic scroll, Qin Lun turned his attention to other categories of consumables, and quickly selected two other world treasures. One is a gargoyle statue, and the other is a construct beetle.
The gargoyle statue needs no introduction, Qin Lun wants to use it as a scout. That seller bundled five gargoyle statues, enough for the rest of the expedition.
The other armored beetles are a bit expensive. This thing is a magical creature that uses magic crystals. Each one is only the size of a fingernail. If the two tank beetles sold by the apostle were released, even the legendary profession would be shocked.
However, these two items are also ridiculously expensive. The base price of the five gargoyles is 150,000, and it is estimated that the transaction price will not be less than 200,000. The base price of the Constructed Beetle was as high as 350,000, and the transaction price was less than 500,000, which was equivalent to the price of a piece of sub-legendary equipment.
Qin Lun thought about it, and ordered a few similar items, such as the Golden Gryphon Summoning Stone and the Constructed Hummingbird, for backup.
After looking at the consumables, Qin Lun glanced at his Broken Crystal again, and suddenly smiled wryly, less than half of the four million was left. Fortunately, most of the things he chose had alternatives, at least half of them could be brought back.
"It seems that the situation is unexpected. I'm afraid we won't be able to buy a few pieces of legendary equipment." Qin Lun thought for a while, then turned his attention to bloodline items.
