Arriving at the Pasa Auction House, we were once again given a grand reception.
As expected of a leading auction house, the quality of the employees inside shows that it must have worked hard.
After knowing our purpose, the front desk lady quickly took us to the best appraiser in the auction house, Oerdoka.
As the best appraiser, Oerdoka's appraisal department is in a separate room, which is also for the sake of some customers. The principle of the auction house is not to ask about the source of the goods, but only about the value. Even if you are auctioning a national seal of a certain country, as long as you can get it, you will never care whether it will offend that country.
I took out the black bead I got from the giant octopus and gave it to Master Oerduoka, saying, "Please help me identify it!"
Master Oerduoka is an old man in his seventies, with gray hair, wearing a gray magic robe, and his eyes shining with wisdom. He picked up the bead, looked at it carefully, and said, "It's a magical bead, and it doesn't seem to be a magic core."
Then he put it on a special platform and put his hand on it. Immediately, a green light enveloped the bead.
After a while, Master Oerduoka took his hand away and said, "It is extremely rare. This bead should be called an ink bead. It can only be found on an octopus that has lived for thousands of years. Although it is not a magic core, the abundant magic power in it should be equivalent to the magic core of an eighth-level poisonous magic beast. And its special function is to remove dust. If you carry it on your body, it can be spotless, so it can also be called an ink-moving bead. It has sufficient magic power, and it is obvious that the octopus didn't even use magic power before it died."
I secretly admired him. I didn't expect that he could know that this bead came from an octopus, and he also knew that the octopus had never used poisonous magic.
Master Oerduoka wrote on a piece of appraisal paper: Special treasure ink-moving bead, excellent quality, reserve price 200,000 gold coins.
Obviously, he mistakenly thought that I was going to auction it, but how could I be willing to exchange such a treasure for gold coins.
With a faint smile, I asked curiously: "Master, did you use wind magic to identify it?"
"Yes, I am a wind magician, specializing in the detection magic, and I just used the wind of detection." Master Oerduoka said kindly.
"Thank you for helping me identify it." I didn't expect that the application of magic is so widespread, which made me more interested in magic.
"I should thank you, but I rely on you for my livelihood. One percent of the auction will be used as the identification fee. My fee is not low at all!" Master Oerduoka said humorously.
"That's what you deserve. But I don't plan to auction it. I don't know how to calculate the identification fee?"
His achievements in identification really make me respect him. In my opinion, there are only a few such beads in the whole continent. After all, there may be many octopuses like the one I killed in the deep sea, but it is rare to see them on the mainland. Moreover, even if there is such an octopus, there may not be other ink beads. He can identify it with simple wind of detection, which can only show that he has reached the pinnacle of detection magic.
"If that's the case, you need to pay 3,000 gold coins." Master Oerduoka was obviously not surprised that I didn't auction the beads, and answered with a smile.
After leaving the auction house, it was almost evening. After solving the pressure of two artifacts, I suggested finding a hotel to have a big meal. Alice and Xiaoyu were naturally cheering for the delicious food, and even Rank was excited.
Since we are going to the hotel, we must go to the best Sky Blue Hotel.
It is worthy of being the best hotel in Osdrey. Although the taste of the food is not comparable to the dishes I cook, it is much better than what I have eaten before. Rank and I drank a lot of wine.
Seeing that I was in high spirits, Philiya and Qinsi also drank a few glasses with me. Their two white jade-like faces were flushed. Even I, who was used to seeing Philiya's stunning beauty, was stunned, not to mention the lecherous boy Rank.
Under Philiya's supervision, Alice naturally couldn't drink the wine, but she and Xiaoyu almost took care of half of the dishes.
After the meal, when I counted the bill, even if I was indifferent, I screamed. I actually spent more than 2,000 gold coins, which was enough for ordinary people to eat for several years.
After sighing, I had to carry the drunk Rank and walk back slowly with the three women.
Philiya and Qinsi walked in front, whispering a few words from time to time, while Alice held my right hand and walked beside me. If I hadn't had to carry Rank, this scene would have been really comfortable.
Back at the General's Mansion, Rank was naturally taken care of by the General's Mansion's servants, and Alice had been shopping for an afternoon and was already sleepy. She had already fallen asleep in my arms on the way.
Carefully putting Alice on the bed, looking at her quiet and lovely sleeping face, I couldn't help but kiss her forehead gently, and then I withdrew and returned to my room.
"Qinsi seems to like you?" When helping me change my pajamas, Philiya suddenly said this, which scared me.
"No way!" I said in surprise, with a face full of disbelief, "I already have a wife, how could she still like me?"
Philiya chuckled and said, "It must be, although she seems to have been hiding it, she can't hide it from my eyes. When we were shopping today, her eyes were always staring at you, but you didn't notice it. What's more..."
"What's more?" I said curiously. Although I have no ambition for Qinsi, I am still very proud that an elf likes me.
"Besides, my Edmund is so outstanding and superior in everything. It's hard for Qinsi not to like him." Philiya said proudly, with deep affection in her eyes.
"You! Don't let your imagination run wild. Only you can treasure me!" I smiled and scratched her straight nose lightly.
Even if I am ignorant, I know that it is very difficult to make elves like humans. Elves are one of the most persistent races in love. Even if they have a long lifespan, elves who have lost their spouses will never look for lovers again, and will only die alone.
Falling in love with humans means that elves will face long years of loneliness, which is destined to be a tragedy.
So, it is almost impossible to make elves fall in love with humans.
Seeing that I still didn't believe it, Philiya smiled mysteriously, knowing that it would be difficult for me to believe it for a while, so she asked: "You look so happy today, is it because you can finally create your own artifact?"
I smiled and said: "With my current strength, unless I meet the top masters of the gods and demons, it doesn't matter whether I have weapons or not. The reason why I am happy is just because I can finally pay off a debt."
Then, I carefully explained to her the punishment I received from Chief Kale for destroying the Dragon Clan's meeting hall.
Sticking out her tongue, Philiya said in surprise: "I didn't expect the punishment of the dragon clan to be so severe. Just because of damaging some of the floor of the meeting hall, they actually have to punish two artifacts or a thousand years of hard labor. If it were someone else, they would never be able to complete it even if they died."
Looking at her charming look, I smiled and said: "You have to know that those who can enter the meeting hall are basically the elders and clan leaders of the dragon clan. For them, a thousand years is really nothing. Although two artifacts of the human clan will make them a little painful, it is definitely not difficult to accept. I have already found three artifacts in such a short time!"
"Hehe," Philiya smiled and said: "Two of the three artifacts were snatched from Carter's Saint-level masters. I think King Carter has already regretted messing with you! But the dragon clan is really rich. Several elders actually used artifacts as punishment. If people on the mainland knew about it, they would be so envious."
"Don't talk about those misers." I remembered that it was because they refused to give me any Fearing a little bit of gold coins, I couldn't even afford the city tax. I said bitterly: "If they weren't so stingy, I wouldn't have been penniless when I just left the island. I asked for some gold coins when I went out to do things, and I was scolded by the chief."
The dragon clan's reputation for greed may be more deeply rooted in people's hearts than their powerful strength. Thinking that I would actually ask the dragon clan for gold coins, Philiya couldn't help it anymore and chuckled: "You are probably the only one who dares to ask the dragon clan chief for gold coins."
Shaking my head helplessly, I smiled bitterly and said, "How could I have known that the dragons would be so greedy that they wouldn't even give me a little money. Fortunately, I have a lot of monster furs in my ring, which I sold for hundreds of thousands of gold coins in the seaside town. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have the money to add mercenaries, and I might have missed you."
"Yeah! If I hadn't met you, I would have died in the camp of the thieves." Thinking of that tragic moment, Philiya's tears seemed to fall again.
I quickly hugged her in my arms and comforted her softly, "Don't think about the past anymore. Just live happily now."
I took out the Ice Sword and the Ink-Transferring Bead from the ring again, "This sword is for you to use. Now I can't teach you martial arts because of my oath, but I will send the dragon crystal to the Water Dragon Elder soon. Then I can contact the Chief Kale and teach you and Alice to practice martial arts. Although this Ink-Transferring Bead is black, it looks pretty because of its restrained brilliance. I will give it to you as my first gift!"
Philiya nodded obediently. After untying her knot, she has become much more cheerful. It was just a momentary feeling just now. After all, that experience had a huge impact on her.
She can accept the things I give her calmly.
According to her thinking, everything she has is mine anyway, so it doesn't matter whether she accepts it or not. But she obviously didn't care much about what kind of gift it was, she only cared about my intention.
Carefully putting away the Ice Sword and the Moji Bead, Philiya licked her lips with her tongue in a charming manner, took off her clothes, and took the initiative to kiss her.
How could I bear it when I saw this?
My hands had already unconsciously held Philiya's plump breasts in my hands, and Philiya also reached out to hold my cock. She looked at me charmingly, then slowly leaned down and took my cock into her mouth...
"Hiss~"
The stimulating pleasure hit my mind, and at this moment I only felt a fire rising up, holding Philiya with both hands, aiming at the target, and fiercely inserting it...
Soon, Philiya's climax cry echoed in the room, and tonight was destined to be another beautiful night.
