It was unknown whether it was luck or coincidence, but the main venue of this auction was the underground hall of the Royal Theater.
The entire hall was oval in shape, and there were layers of stairs on it.
At the top of the theater, there were three luxuriously decorated boxes to facilitate the auctioneers' observation of the goods.
As the auction was under the banner of the Star Commerce, Jenn and the others did not occupy the box on the top floor, but chose a seat at the side of the second last floor. But even so, their appearance still caused a lot of discussion, especially those who were lucky enough to see Jenn's army of beauties. At this moment, they were talking about the spectacle that they saw to the people around them, which made many people curious. But unfortunately, after Jenn and the others entered the box, the thick curtain was pulled down, blocking the sight of all outsiders with ill intentions. It was a little disappointing.
Although it was a "small" box, it was still as big as two guest rooms. The entire room was decorated with a dark brown carpet. Jenn knew that the fur on this carpet was produced from a type of bird of paradise in the south. However, it was different from the bird of paradise on Earth. It was a magical beast that often appeared in groups and was very dangerous.
Every piece of bird of paradise's fur was smooth and soft to the touch.
The market price of a shawl made of bird of paradise's fur was about 20,000 gold coins, and this carpet, according to Jenn's estimation, would probably cost at least 5,000,000 gold coins.
On the carpet, there were soft and comfortable sofas and tables made of camellia wood. There were all kinds of fruits on the tables, and in the wine cabinet at the back, there was a whole cabinet of good wine. Just by looking at the appearance, one could tell that the wine was expensive.
"Please wait a moment, sirs. The auction is about to begin …"
Seeing Jenn and the others enter, the waiter who was standing respectfully in the box immediately greeted them. At the same time, he changed his attitude and appeared to be very respectful.
It was no wonder that he would have such an action. When these guests came in, he had already noticed that Jenn and the others did not have any expression on the items in this box.
If they were bumpkins from the countryside who did not understand the goods, it would be fine. But as a waiter, he could clearly see that these people did not value anything in this box. They were even somewhat disdainful.
That's right, disdain.
In fact, this was also the case. For Jenn, these things that were valuable in the main plane were completely worthless in the Demon Realm. No one would even want them for money.
As the princess of the Dark Fairies, Tinidale was naturally very particular about her food and clothing. Things like this naturally did not enter her eyes.
Even Elyse, who was also considered a young lady in the Underdark, preferred the architectural style of the Underdark compared to these decaying things on the main plane.
Because of this, the attendant became even more careful. He had heard from others that the guests he was receiving this time were not ordinary, and there might even be members of the royal family among them. This made him tremble with fear.
It had to be known that he was only in charge of the private rooms on the second floor. Normally, he would only be able to receive some lords, merchants, or experts.
Only the attendants in the private rooms on the top floor were qualified to receive members of the royal family. Previously, he didn't quite believe it, but after seeing Jenn and the others' behavior, he had some doubts in his heart, so he hurriedly came to greet them.
"Is there anything else you need?
Erm … We also have absinthe from the Northwest, and the ice cubes are transported from the Eternal Cold Peak … "
"There's no need for that. I will call you if there is anything."
Before listening to the attendant's introduction, Jenn waved his hand and said.
Upon hearing his words, the waiter hurriedly shut his mouth and walked out respectfully.
"I got it, Sir. If you need anything, just ring the bell on the table and I will be at your service."
After saying this, the attendant closed the door. There was a muffled sound of the door closing, and then the entire room fell into silence.
At that moment, Reemilia let out a chuckle, put down the teacup in her hand, and gazed at Jenn.
"Can you tell us now, Jenn, what exactly do you want to do by bringing so many people here?"
"Dear Master, you must have a plan, right? How do you need us to cooperate?"
After Remilia opened her mouth, Patrina also hurriedly spoke up. It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but she emphasized the words "Respected Master" very much.
But even so, Reemilia didn't look at her at all, and the same went for Pattilina. She treated Reemilia as air.
On the contrary, Elise, who sat between them, was sweating profusely as though she were about to go to the execution ground.
"There's no hurry."
Jenn seemed to be unaware of the atmosphere between the two of them that was about to end. He waved his hand and looked at Elise.
"Elise, do you feel anything?"
"Huh?
Ah, yes … "
Upon hearing Zayen's question, Elyse trembled violently before coming to his senses. She closed her eyes and was silent for a moment before answering.
"Yes … Master, I can feel … something calling my bloodline. I-I don't know what it is, nor do I know the specific location, but I'm sure …"
"Is it in this theater?"
"…"
Upon hearing Jenn's question, Elise pondered in silence for a few moments, and then nodded.
"Good."
After receiving Elise's answer, Jenn smiled in satisfaction. Then, he turned to the people around him, pondered for a few moments, and said with a smile.
"All of you have been following me for so long, and I haven't had anything good to give you. Today's auction shall be my gift to all of you. Whatever you want, I'll take care of it all!"
Upon hearing his words, Enoya's eyes lit up. Then, she exchanged looks with Tinidor. Both of them were smart enough to immediately understand what Jenn was trying to do.
On the other hand, Pattilina was taken aback. She reached out for a list of items and began to scrutinize the items on it.
On the other hand, Reemilia let out a snort, extended her hand, and snapped her fingers. Then, Alice came up to her with a smile and placed another list of items on Reemilia's outstretched hand. Of course, Alice didn't forget to take a copy for herself.
Only Elise wasn't in the mood, but seeing that even Sophia had an auction list, she had no choice but to grit her teeth, pick up the auction list in front of her, and begin to compare the items on it.
At that moment, the lights outside gradually dimmed. Shortly after, a loud commotion sounded. Under everyone's watchful eyes, the auctioneer walked up to the high platform in the middle. He bowed respectfully to everyone, raised the small hammer in his hand, and began his opening remarks.
It was nothing more than the auctioneer saying that it was a good thing for everyone. Everyone had to bid in a civilized manner to avoid hurting each other's friendships and such nonsense.
Zayen did not mind the nonsense. Instead, he took the opportunity to activate the Eye of Evil and began to investigate the entire Royal Theater. As expected, in the Eye of Evil that had transformed into a soul, Zayen quickly saw the cold, bright red souls lying in ambush in the darkness.
What Jenn didn't expect was that the vampires would actually disguise themselves as the armors in the corridor and stand on the pedestal.
If one didn't look closely, one wouldn't be able to spot them at all.
Apart from them, Jenn also discovered four souls burning in scarlet flames in several hidden corners of the underground theater. If he wasn't wrong, they should be the high-ranking vampires of the Black Rose Family who were responsible for the safety of this place.
And now … Jenn narrowed his eyes and shifted his gaze to the central part of the underground theater. Then, Jenn revealed an ice-cold smile.
Found it.
At this moment, the auctioneer finally introduced the first auction item. It was a necklace made of Dream Crystal. It could barely be considered a low-grade magical item, but as it was carved by a famous craftsman, its value wasn't low. Since the auction house chose this item as the opening item, there must be a reason for it to be outstanding.
Apart from the exquisite craftsmanship, this necklace was also blessed by the Water Spirit. Not only could the wearer of this necklace swim freely in the sea, but they also wouldn't have to worry about drowning.
It was due to this reason that it was chosen as the first auction item. After all, this was no different from having an extra life for those who lived on the sea all day long!
Even though it was precious, it was limited by its strong limitations. However, Glory City was a port city and the nobles who came here more or less had dealings with the sea, so it wasn't too out of line.
If it were in a place like Eagle Plateau, perhaps this necklace would only be used as an ornament.
"The starting price is 15,000 gold coins. The bidding begins now!"
While speaking, the auctioneer slammed the small hammer in front of him and raised the necklace high.
Upon seeing this necklace, the people below couldn't help but exclaim. However, no one bid immediately. After all, this was just the beginning. Although this necklace was indeed useful, it was too targeted and ordinary people couldn't use it.
Hence, many nobles were watching the show, but some people below obviously didn't think so.
Not long after, someone on the first floor raised his hand up high.
"20,000 gold coins!"
"That's someone from the Sea Lion Trade Union."
Glancing at the person who raised his hand, the old man hurriedly lowered his head and introduced to Jenn.
As the person in charge of the stronghold of Glory City, he understood the situation here very well, which was why Jenn asked him to come in and explain to him.
"Rumor has it that the Sea Lion Trade Union has recently planned to open up the Storm Channel. I'm afraid that's why they …"
After hearing the old man's introduction, Jenn nodded in agreement.
At this moment, with the Sea Lion Trade Union taking the lead, some small nobles and families related to shipping also began to bid. Soon, the price of this necklace increased several times and reached a high price of 45,000 gold coins.
And at this moment, Reemilia suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Jenn.
"That necklace, I want it!"
Upon hearing Reemilia's words, Jenn nodded and gestured to the old man.
Seeing this, the old man was obviously a little surprised. But in the end, he hesitated for a moment and raised the plate in his hand.
And upon seeing this plate, the auctioneer was also taken aback.
"This guest bids — 100,000 gold coins!"
As soon as this announcement came out, the audience burst into an uproar.
