Chapter 128 Auction starts

  In the corridor of the hotel, Alisa turned her head sideways, looked at Lynn who suddenly "increased" a lot beside her, and asked in doubt.

   "Why do you want to click in?"

  Lin En also turned his head to look at her: "Since it's a masquerade ball, there must be dancing, right?"

   "Can you dance?"

   "No." Alyssa replied calmly, "But, I can learn."

   "Study?" Lin En was slightly taken aback.

   "This kind of thing should be very simple, right?" Alisa said softly, "Although I may not be able to learn the twists and turns, if I just imitate the movements, it shouldn't be too difficult."

  “.”

  Alisa's words surprised Lynn a little.

You know, dance is about the coordination of the whole body and the familiarity with the movements. Let alone whether a magician can really make every muscle of the body obey the arrangement of the brain. There are quite a few dances that are more complicated.

  Even Lynn, it took him a while to get acquainted with it. Although there are not many, it is definitely not something that can be learned at a glance.

   But Alyssa said she could do it.

  Lin En didn't feel that the girl was talking, but only sighed inexplicably at the other party's strong learning ability.

   Shaking his head, he responded: "In short, we still managed to get in, and the others are not important."

  Alisa nodded in agreement: "Although most of the time, the process is more valuable for research, but the ultimate goal is to achieve the result."

   This time, Lynn didn't reply to her again.

  Because they have already arrived at the auction site.

   This is a large hall, and there is no place similar to a stage box around it. Everyone is in the center of the hall, wearing their own masks, and sitting in their respective positions.

  Lin En and Alyssa randomly found a low-key seat and sat down, quietly waiting for the start of the auction.

   During the boredom of waiting, they occasionally exchanged something in whispers.

   "By the way, what is the process of the auction?"

   "Normally speaking, it's the opening. The organizer brings things up and asks interested people to call the price, and the one with the highest price wins."

   "Then, what about abnormal ones?"

"Not normal."

   "Then, change the subject, you."

  During this short period of mutual communication, Lynn felt that his judgment of Alisa might have to change slightly.

   Originally, he thought that Alyssa was a relatively taciturn person.

  Because of her limited time in the academy, she barely interacts with other people.

   But now, he's changing the label.

   Not only is Alisa not taciturn, but she is definitely a chatterbox, and she is also a chatterbox who likes to ask questions.

   During this period of time, she was able to lead the topic from the auction to astronomy, then from the sky to the ground, and finally to Lynn herself.

  If it wasn't for someone coming up on the stage, Lynn felt that she might even ask what color her underwear like, and she could even come up with a reason to explain why she asked this question.

   Don't think it's impossible.

  A few days ago, the bullet screens used a wonderful metaphor to describe Alyssa's character.

  【In case Irene gets annoyed by the question, there is a high possibility of a conflict, because Xiao Ai is a person whose desire for knowledge is stronger than her desire for sex! 】

   Lynn doesn't know what X desire is, but he does see the strong desire for knowledge.

   "That." Lynn pointed to the stage, "The auction is about to start, shall we prepare first?"

  Alisa closed her mouth with a lot of thought, nodded obediently, and looked at the stage.

  On the stage, a middle-aged man in a formal suit stood at the front of the stage with a smile and bowed deeply to everyone.

   "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening! Tonight is bound to be an exciting night."

   "Because, at this auction, we have prepared a lot of good things."

  The familiar opening remark, in just a few sentences, directly gathered everyone's attention and led to the main topic.

  The auctioneer turned over his palm, and a gem appeared silently on the white glove.

"This is a Brilliant gem." The auctioneer said with a smile, "I know that although a Brilliant gem is precious to everyone, it is not particularly difficult to obtain. The same is true for the top layer."

   "So, if it's just like this, this gem is not worthy of us tonight."

  He gently turned the gem on one side, revealing the star engraving on the back.

  When the engraving was displayed in front of everyone, the originally quiet field suddenly became lively like a bomb was dropped.

   "Unexpectedly, it is a gem from the imperial capital!"

   "Mr. Enoch, can you even get this kind of thing?"

   "This is who will be lucky enough to get this gem."

  “.”

  Looking at the engraving on the gemstone, Lynn narrowed his eyes slightly.

  The so-called "Emperor Capital", in these populations, does not refer to the capital of the Holy Star Empire, but the royal family.

  Because in their view, there is no difference between Catalina and Xinghui's capital. They are places for ordinary people to live anyway.

   Only the palace where the emperor resides can be called the imperial capital.

  So, this gemstone from the "Emperor Capital" should actually be exclusively used by the Xinghui royal family.

   "They seem to be passionate about this kind of stuff?"

   Beside her, Alisa asked puzzledly: "If my perception is correct, although the gemstone has plenty of energy, its magic power is sufficient and not special. It's just that it has more magic power and more impurities."

   "Even if this kind of thing is used to supply magic power to experimental items, it may affect the experimental process due to impurities, right?"

   "But these people."

   "It doesn't matter what it is." Lynn said softly, "What matters is the engraving on the back of the gem."

   "For these 'nobles', face is the most important thing."

   "If there are guests at home, and they take out this gem for them to visit, the other party will definitely be shocked how they can get something from the Xinghui royal family - this kind of shock is to give them face."

   "So, although its practical value is not high, the gemstone named 'Emperor' is not practical, and it is not important to them at all."

   "Because after they take it back, I'm afraid they have to find a place to give it to them. It's definitely not giving up to use it."

  Alisa shook her head, expressing that she didn't quite understand.

  Lin En didn't explain much, just continued to look at the stage.

  Up above, the auctioneer is holding up the auction mallet and shouting loudly.

   "Now that everyone has a preliminary understanding, then."

   "The starting price for this gemstone from the 'Emperor Capital' is."

   "—One gold coin!"
