Contrary to Wu Chan's imagination, the owner of the mansion did not show the enthusiasm for entertaining distinguished guests. The look on the doorman's face was as meticulous as the uniform on his body. He did not show a smile to any guest and rigidly checked the invitation letter. , and then nodded slightly to let go.
Before getting off the carriage, Tao Yan was no longer Tao Yan - adjusting her facial muscles to change into a completely different appearance, this was just a small skill for Tao Yan Yin Peng, a vampire with the level of captain of the bodyguard. Wu Chan is not Wu Chan at this moment, but his name is "Ye Huikun", and Taoyan "Ye Huirun" is a brother and sister from the Eastern District of the Southern Hemisphere.
The gatekeeper took the invitation from Wu Chan and stared at Wu Chan's face coldly.
Wu Chan did not change his disguise, because in this vampire city-state of Kaidorah, the vampires who knew Taoyan might appear at tonight's auction, but no one knew Wu Chan or the Ye brothers and sisters from the Eastern District of the Southern Hemisphere. Wu Zen's biggest flaw is his human aura.
In response to this, Taoyan had already cut her index finger before setting off, and used her own blood to draw a spell on Wu Chan's back, so that the smell of blood could penetrate into the skin of Wu Chan's limbs. This spell could last. Three hours later, the janitor smelled something very similar to that of Tao Yan next to him. Since the two were brothers and sisters, it made sense. But the risk is that this breath disguise is not very clever from a technical point of view. There are many blood secret techniques that can be seen through. There are two people in the gatekeepers for more than five seconds, so they may become suspicious...
The tip of a flying knife quietly slipped into Wu Chan's palm.
"Sister" Tao Yan grinned, vaguely revealing the vampire's iconic sharp canine teeth that can easily slit a human throat: "Is there any problem?"
The gatekeeper shook his head first, and then nodded, indicating that the vampire brothers and sisters could enter the house.
A huge crystal chandelier hangs in the center of the hall, exuding diamond-like luster. The guests gathered together in small groups and talked in low voices, like whispers. Wu Chan knew that these people were not talking about secrets, but the etiquette and cultivation of the vampires made them think that making loud noises was a very vulgar thing. The guests were dressed in all kinds of costumes. The dress on the vampire on the left was as exaggerated as a costume, and the lantern-like sleeves were a style that Wu Chan was unwilling to try in his life. On the right side, there are blood tribesmen wearing cheongsam. The narrow skirt tightly wraps the buttocks and exposes the naked thighs. This gives Wu Chan a sense of collision between different eras and regions.
At the same time, Wu Chan also found that all the vampire women passing by were looking at him up and down from a distance, with no concealment of provocation and desire in their eyes, as if they had seen through Wu Chan's coat from a distance. The expressions of the male vampires were very hypocritical, as if they were wearing a human skin mask. They only glanced at Wu Chan. And some vampires, regardless of gender, only have contempt in their eyes.
Taoyan showed off her power to the other vampire women with a proud smile. Fortunately, she didn't have a tail, otherwise Wu Chan really doubted that her tail would shake like an electric fan. She whispered from the corner of her mouth to explain to Wu Chan.
"Don't worry, those guys are from the ancient vampire clan and no one will look down on them."
Tao Yan took two glasses of wine from the waiter's tray and handed one to Wu Zen.
Wu Changuang took it but refused to drink.
Taoyan took a sip and said, "Don't worry, this is just red wine. No host would do something so rude as drinking blood as a free drink."
Wu Chan replied: "I don't drink."
Tao Yan only took it as Wu Chan's excuse: "You are too prejudiced against our vampire clan."
Wu Chan was in no mood to argue. His focus was on observing the security measures in the mansion. The bodyguards brought by the guests all stood with their backs to the wall, each one separated by a body. Wu Chan did not see the weapons on the surface.
He counted around and found that there were thirty bodyguards in total. Adding in the mansion's own bodyguards, this number would probably double.
The guests should have arrived one after another. The owner of the manor and the organizer of this auction, Boao, appeared on the marble steps with two beautiful women. He looked to be in his forties or fifties, his hair and beard were carefully combed, and he was wearing a dark green dress, which was very simple compared to this mansion and manor.
Even though this man looks young, he is actually the Great Elder of the Vampire Clan, so he is at least over 120 years old.
Boao said a few polite words to welcome the guests and led them to the side door. After walking through a corridor, everyone came to a larger hall. Judging from the decoration, Wu Chan speculated that this should be a place usually used to hold dance parties.
A booth and chairs have been set up in the room in advance. The two rows of chairs at the front are clearly separated from the rows behind.
As Wu Chan expected, these chairs were prepared for the ancient sect vampires. After they sat down, other guests present found their seats one after another.
Wu Chan and Tao Yan sat in the second to last row. Since they had no acquaintances, there were only a few vampires in the same row.
The indoor lights suddenly dimmed, and the spotlight fell on the booth. After the auctioneer made a few words of opening remarks, he let the first auction item appear on the stage. It was a long sword without a scabbard. It was made in a simple style and had a faint murderous aura. Even from a distance, Wu Chan could see clearly that the blade was full of chips. The sword had been used as a weapon again. It can only be collected and appreciated as an antique.
From the perspective of use, Wu Chan would never buy this kind of thing to take home. But before the auctioneer could bid, a vampire raised his hand, and Wu Chan noticed that the vampire didn't say a specific increase in price.
Then, more vampires raised their hands frequently. It was obvious that the price of this long sword was rising.
Wu Chan still couldn't help but express his doubts: "Don't they need to bid?"
Tao Yan replied softly: "No need."
Wu Chan said: "Why?"
Tao Yan said: "Because the transaction currency used for each auction item is different. It is written in the auction book in advance."
Wu Chan thought that he didn't really want to buy anything, so he stopped asking.
After several rounds of price increases, the price for this ancient sword was finally decided. However, the successful bidder did not show any excitement or joy. Wu Chan only heard a few sparse applause.
The next auction item is a head.
To be precise, they were the bones of a monster. Just from the shape of the bones, Wu Zen couldn't tell what kind of beast it was.
This skull is obviously more attractive than the long sword just now, and the speed of the person below raising his hand is faster and more intense than before.
At this time, the door behind him suddenly opened.
A small group of people came in.
The uninvited visitor caused murmurs.
But Wu Chan was shocked that the visitor was actually a human being!
