Chapter 956: Chapter 765, You Don't Have a Dad Either? Chapter 956: Chapter 765, You Don't Have a Dad Either? Lilith looked at the ghost with a puzzled expression.
From its stature and the blur of its features, it had been young at the time of death.
At such a young age, to have become a ghost after death was, in a sense, a sign of talent.
“Are you referring to the people of The Holy Court as the bad guys?” Lilith emerged from the coffin and sat down beside it.
To define The Holy Court as the bad guys, and Necromancers and ghosts as the good ones, was something that probably only happened on Gold and Silver Island.
Xiao Xiao leaned forward a bit, then timidly retreated back to the corner under the canopy, saying, “Yes, they always come to trouble Uncle, and Uncle doesn't dare to fight them.”
Lilith raised her eyebrows, “Your uncle, you mean Wu Heng? He wants to fight the people from The Holy Court?”
“Hmm! They're just average.” Xiao Xiao floated in mid-air with her arms crossed.
Lilith took out some wine from her Space Ring and filled her glass.
Xiao Xiao flew forward again, “Sister, aren't you afraid they will trouble you if you fight them?”
“Not afraid.”
“Umm…” Xiao Xiao thought for a moment, looked at her, and then said, “Then do you want to live on the island? The scenery here is really nice.”
Lilith took a sip of fruit wine, “Do you want me to help your uncle and keep fighting the people from The Holy Court?”
“Is that possible?”
“What would I get in return? You can't expect me to do it for nothing,” Lilith said, a smile playing at the corner of her mouth.
“I'll ask my uncle to give you a house, a gaming console, anything you want,” Xiao Xiao assured her eagerly.
Lilith swirled the wine in her glass and asked, “I don't even know your name?”
“You can call me Xiao Xiao. Your name is Lilith, right?”
“Xiao Xiao!” Lilith repeated the name, then asked, “How many ghosts does your uncle have?”
“Uhh…” Xiao Xiao immediately became cautious and backed away, “Uncle won't let me tell.”
“Oh, then who does your uncle like the most?”
“Of course, he likes me the most,” Xiao Xiao said firmly.
Lilith lifted her wine glass and took another sip, then continued, “The house and game console you promised, would your uncle agree to it?”
Xiao Xiao paused, thought for a moment, and then said, “You can talk to him yourself; he doesn't let me run around.”
“Does he keep a tight leash on you?”
“Not too bad; he just always wants me to learn to write, but I'm already dead!”
“You can't write?”
Xiao Xiao looked a bit displeased, crossing her arms, “Everyone has their strengths.”
“I could look at the house tomorrow; I don't need your uncle to send me…”
“Really?” Xiao Xiao brightened up.
Lilith nodded at her, “Hmm, does your uncle really not have a wife?”
A wife?
Xiao Xiao looked at her oddly, puzzled, “Sister, do you not have a father either?”
The next day, at the opera house.
The grand hall was bathed in brilliant light, a gigantic crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling cast the entire space in brightness and fantasy.
Exquisitely dressed guests, led by the staff, made their way to their seats.
While conversing in low voices, they marveled at the wealth and grandeur of Gold and Silver Island.
After everyone had gradually taken their seats.
A copper bell rang at the exhibition, and a gorgeously dressed Wood Elf auctioneer walked onto the raised platform.
The auctioneer bowed respectfully, “Honored guests, welcome to the second Elixir Auction on Gold and Silver Island.”
Click!
As he spoke, the large screen behind suddenly lit up.
Streaming live images of the entire stage allowed everyone, no matter where they were seated, to see and hear everything.
“Wow, what technology?”
“Stuff from Gold and Silver Island, the exhibition includes promotional products.”
“That's amazing!”
The chaos ensued.
The auctioneer gently clapped his hands, signifying for everyone to quiet down,
and then announced, “The auction will now officially begin.”
The staff member walked up with a tray in hand, lifting the silk cover to reveal the beautifully bottled elixir.
“Constitution Enhancement Potion, certified by the association and the consortium, still five bottles, starting at 500 gold coins, with a minimum increase of 20 gold per bid. Ladies and gentlemen, you may begin.”
After finishing, the auctioneer stepped aside, leaving the potion in the center of the stage.
In the stands, after a brief silence, someone raised their bid paddle, “520 gold!”
“540 gold…”
“800.”
“1000 gold.”
After a few minimal raises, the bids began to increase rapidly, surpassing a thousand gold.
And the price continued to skyrocket without stopping.
“1500 gold.”
“2000 gold.”
One after another, bids were made, now disregarding the minimum raise and increasing by hundreds of gold.
The prices continued to soar.
Below, as the prices rose swiftly, many of the elite began to sweat at their foreheads.
This auction was truly exaggerated.
Bids in gold coins were being thrown around like copper coins and silver coins.
Had I known, I would have placed a bid at the very beginning just to feel involved.
Inside the second-floor VIP room.
Lilith sat to one side, watching the bidding below with keen interest.
Just a few rounds in, it had already reached over two thousand gold, surprising her.
It wasn't that the potion wasn't worth the price, but that the increase was a bit too rapid.
This Gold and Silver Island truly lived up to its name.
“The next room has started bidding,” said Wu Heng.
Lilith was brought back to her senses, “Is the next room also people from our headquarters?”
“It's the assistant to the leader of the Hongwen Alliance, along with several elders and level 18 professionals from headquarters,” Wu Heng explained softly.
“It seems they all highly value your potion,” Lilith remarked, her expression still calm.
“It's all thanks to their support!” Wu Heng said with a smile.
During their conversation, the first round of bidding for the potion ended.
It was finally sold for 7260 gold coins.
“That really is extravagant,” Lilith remarked upon hearing the final price.
In the neighboring room.
“Steward Xi Ligui, didn't you say the final price would be around 3000 gold? This difference is quite significant,” commented an elder of the Elf Race, his face flushed.
It wasn't that he was angry with Xi Ligui, but the bidding below had caused his blood pressure to rise.
Xi Ligui responded, “The final price of the first item in the last auction was just over 3000 gold. I also didn't expect it to turn out like this today.”
Wu Heng was accompanying Lilith, and the other elders from the association were being looked after by Xi Ligui.
After all, they were all from the association, and they had inquired about the prices with Xi Ligui beforehand.
However, they didn't expect such a large difference from their expectations, the first item had doubled.
The elder took a deep breath to calm down, then asked, “Based on the last experience, will the prices increase or decrease later on?”
The others in the room, also watching intently,
came from far away, all for the potion, hoping to take a bottle back with them.
Under everyone's gaze,
Xi Ligui embarrassingly said, “It will only get more expensive.”
