Soon, the higher-ups at the auction house knew about the weapon, and everyone was very excited. Everyone wanted to take it for themselves. It would be great if they owned such a weapon. It was not only an honor to have the same weapon as the true god but also a symbol of status. Thinking of this, the higher-ups were eager to attend the auction. The appraisal had just begun, and the other items had not been appraised yet. “By the way, stop dwelling on that item and look at other things instead. What if he has other good things on hand? We would've discovered a hidden talent this time.” Elio calmly picked up Philip’s pill and studied it. “Isn’t this the favorite plaything of humans? I've heard it's called a pill, but I’ve never seen one in circulation. Ever since humans were banned, I’ve never heard anything more about it.” Everyone was quite knowledgeable and could tell its origin. “I don’t think it can hold a candle to our potions. Humans have never promoted pills, so t
Everyone examined Beck and found no problem. The result could not be faked. There was no way Beck was making things up about the pill. Besides, no one knew who provided the pill, so a cover-up was not possible. Therefore, the pill was genuine with no problem with it. The effects of Philip’s pills were the same as described, so they only tested one pill. They knew how precious these pills were. “Let the host promote these items. The highlight of our auction tonight will be the pills.” Beck immediately decided. With his experience and foresight, he knew the sensation this would cause. Everyone quietly waited for the auction to start. Suddenly, the beautiful auctioneer walked out and looked at everyone in disbelief. “I have good news for everyone. This time, we've received some very powerful weapons and medicines to heal our bodies, so we’ll be adding some items to the auction tonight.” Despite the announcement, they did not clearly state what they would add. They planned
No one thought highly of the stone but felt exasperated instead. “The function of the stone is nothing more than ripping off some money, just like everything else. I believe the lapdogs are looking forward to it.” Aslan only thought it was a complete waste of money and could not see anything special about it. Philip shook his head. He felt that this stone contained a special power. Moreover, Rabbit was fidgeting in his arms as if it wanted to get this thing. “No matter what, we have to buy that thing. We won’t make a loss either way.” Philip had many spirit mines, so buying it posed no problem. He could easily wipe the place clean if he wanted to. Besides, he had put some valuable things up for auction as a guarantee. He was sure he could get some good things in exchange. Philip quickly bought the stone. The audience was not interested in it, so Philip won it with one bid. At this time, an employee of the auction house took out Philip’s pills from the pile of auction it
Another guest noticed Philip’s confusion and kindly explained, “It’s time for a break, or rather, time to prepare more money. Everything costs a lot of money here. Didn’t you see how many crystal stones that thing costs?” After hearing the other party's detailed explanation, Philip finally understood what was going on. The auction house was quite considerate. Worried that the guests would not have enough money to bid for the subsequent items, they chose to take a break. Philip felt a little annoyed. He thought he could quickly explore this world after the auction. This development was out of his expectations. Before Philip and the others could leave for a walk, an old man appeared in front of Philip, smiling brightly as if he wanted to have a good chat with Philip. “Young man, let’s have a chat. I know you put the pills up for sale. Don’t worry, I mean no harm. I just want to discuss a deal with you.” The other party's attitude was good, and he did not look like a bad guy.
“Since you seem quite sincere about it, I don’t mind answering your question. “I made these pills and weapons myself. We're not beast men but soft-eared people because of our soft ears. We have an extraordinary talent for making pills and weapons because we have human genes.” Philip made up a story at random. He had no idea what species this world had. Since he had a pair of very soft ears, he called himself a soft-eared person. Elio was taken aback by the name and frowned in confusion, baffled by this situation. However, he quickly came to terms with it. No matter what race Philip belonged to, he finally knew some secrets. “Great, I’m surprised to hear that you made these things. In that case, let’s have a good chat about business. Maybe we can achieve long-term win-win cooperation.” Elio was very excited. Since the other party had been staying in the mountains over the years, they had to value wealth and money very much. It would be great if he could use money to get th
While Philip chatted with Elio, some people kept an eye on them. Not all the appraisers had good intentions. They knew that Elio would definitely find a way to contact the provider of the pills and weapons. They wanted to get a piece of the pie, so they paid attention to Elio's every move, trying to take the opportunity to reach out to Philip. By putting these things up for auction, the other party either did not know their value or did not care at all. Anyway, they wanted to talk to Philip and trick him into giving the things to them with money if possible. Philip and Elio were chatting happily when someone knocked on the door. A man pushed the door open in a panic. “Mr. Wind, the true god is looking for you urgently. He wants to see you right away.” The other party seemed anxious and reluctant to convey the news. Hearing that, Elio seemed conflicted. He was having a good chat with Philip and did not want to see the true god. As a person in his position, however, he coul
Sure enough, the man scowled as if surprised by that promise. “I can’t believe that the true god thinks so highly of him, even offering him the legendary treasure. In that case, I have to get this deal!" Philip was surprised to hear the other party's mumbling. The true god’s treasure was actually real. “Indeed, he’s the true god’s favorite subordinate, but you need to keep in mind that he might fall out of favor one day. “If he can get you the True God’s Hammer, I can promise you something else. As long as you work with me, I’ll find something that will satisfy you,” the man said earnestly as if he really believed it. Philip was quite interested in this so-called True God’s Hammer. “In that case, go ahead and get it for me. He hasn't agreed to give it to me, so I’ll work with the person who can fulfill their promise first. That should be fair enough. I’m simply doing this for money.” The other party was happy to hear that. Philip had spoken the words in his mind. “Not b
Elio frowned in deep contemplation. “What is this True God's Hammer? It should be quite valuable if he’s willing to use it as an exchange with me. If the price is good, I can consider this deal.” Although Elio looked like a simple and honest old man, Philip had to take his own interests as the standard. “The True God's Hammer is a legendary weapon. It was said that only people who have reached the level of a true god have the right to touch this weapon! “Owning the True God's Hammer is equivalent to gaining the power of judgment. The True God's Hammer can pull someone into a separate judgment site in the air, and no one can enter this site without permission. It’s very mysterious!” Philip was stunned by Elio's description of the True God’s Hammer. He had never dreamed that such a weapon would exist. The person who made this weapon was very creative, indeed. “Since it sounds so amazing, why don’t you want it for yourself instead of trading it? Isn’t that a bigger loss?” Phil
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for attending the lark family’s grand ceremony of the century,” a man announced in the middle of the square, and the bride stood next to him with a happy smile on her face. If Adam was present, he would definitely recognize the bride as the woman he had been dreaming of over the years, Ashley Bay. A handsome man stood next to the bride. His every move was imposing and domineering. They looked like the perfect match. Everyone looked at this scene and blessed them happily. “After a series of careful selection, I finally found the most suitable husband for my daughter. This is an important event for the lark people!” The lark people had a high status, and everyone wanted to marry into this family. After many selections, the bridegroom finally won the bride’s hand in marriage. Over the years, countless men had flocked around Ashley. After observations from all aspects, this man fit all the criteria—so much so that Adam had long been forgotten.
“This boot records various information about the lark people that may be very important to you. I believe you’ll understand after reading it.” After saying this, Renee handed the boot to Adam. She was not a fool. She knew that Philip was not the person initiating the search. Although Adam always remained calm, he could not hide his eagerness at all. Adam looked at Renee gratefully and took the book and started reading it without further ado. The more he read, the more shocked he felt. In the end, he was full of disbelief as if he could not believe what he saw. “Is this for real?” Adam finished reading the boot quickly and handed it to Philip and Carlos. The other two flipped through the book curiously. Philip scowled. He could not tell whether the information was true or false. “Is it true that the lark people have such an ability? It's recorded in the book that they can create a world. That’s simply…” Carlos was puzzled. Only a very powerful being could create a world. Was
“Please tell me how to find them. I want to find out what’s going on, even if it's just to convince myself to give up.” Adam decided that he still wanted to find the other party. No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it. If everything was a lost cause, he would give up. Hearing that, Renee seemed conflicted as if deciding whether to tell them everything. “It doesn’t do me any good to tell you this. Why should I take the risk for no reason? I do business. You need to pay a price for it,” Renee said with a smile. Philip laughed. The words sounded very familiar to him as if he said them before. He used to say such things when he was doing business just to bluff some dumb customers. “Of course, I know you do business. If you’re willing to tell us something, we can offer you something in return, whether money or other resources,” Philip said with calm confidence. No matter what the other party wanted, he could easily provide it. Renee smiled at Philip’s words. “It's
The woman seemed amused by Philip’s request. “I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, I’m not a liar. Although my actions don’t seem aboveboard to you, I’m not a bad person.” The woman did not hide anything. She knew that Philip had seen through the secret of her singing. As the only man who discovered her secret, she admired Philip very much. She once vowed that she would marry the man who could resist the temptation of her singing. “By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Renee, and I'm an employee of Moon Tavern. My job is very simple, that is to bring in more profits to the tavern.” Renee seemed very sincere and told them everything about herself. “However, my method isn’t very aboveboard. You already know that I make profits by using my singing to attract customers.” Renee mentioned her secret frankly, and Philip was surprised by her honesty. “As for the secret between me and the lark people, I can tell you that they hate me so much because some
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Philip was all the more interested in this mysterious existence. He wanted to find out who they were to act so arrogantly. Obviously, the lark people were stronger than anyone could imagine. Ordinary people were afraid of this family no matter how powerful they were. Maybe the storyteller felt uncomfortable at the mention of this family, but he quickly left after a while. Philip and the others were disappointed that they could not find out the news they wanted. When they thought that they had to return in defeat, a woman appeared and looked at them calmly. The woman was wearing a veil on her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. The veil was quite an extraordinary item that could block various detections. However, Philip recognized her at a glance. She was the woman singing on the stage just now. She actually approached them. Things were getting more and more interesting. “What you want to know is taboo. Come with me if you want to fi
Meanwhile, backstage at Moon Tavern, the waiter was telling the woman singing on stage earlier about what had happened in the private room. The woman was full of disbelief, thinking the waiter was lying. “Don’t try to bluff me. How could anyone resist my attack?” The woman wore a veil on her face and looked very mysterious. Only the woman knew how disgusting she looked when she was not performing or casting spells. Covering her face was the best choice. The waiter told her what happened and described the state Philip and the others were in earlier. Although two people were affected, it was a problem because one person had remained conscious.They would face a lot of problems if other people discovered their tricks. The woman's tricks were extraordinary. Even a powerful person with superb strength would find it difficult to get rid of her attack. These so-called strong experts would only end up falling for her trick. At this time, the storyteller went on stage, and he was t
Philip nodded. “Do I have to order something else?” A hint of realization flashed in Philip’s eyes. He realized what was going on. The woman had the ability to bewitch the customers by affecting their thinking and emotions through singing and inducing them into spending money. She exuded a special charm to attract the customers even though she looked ordinary. In their minds, she was an unattainable goddess. Everyone saw a different woman in their minds but charming nonetheless, tempting them to spend money on her even though it would cost them all their fortune. However, Philip was different. He could control his emotions very well, so this woman had almost no influence on him. He realized this problem when he first heard that mysterious song. The waiter scowled and finally left the private room in horror after much deliberation. Philip did not say anything at his hasty departure. The woman quickly left the stage after playing her zither, and the bewitched customers
“Something is wrong. I find that woman a little weird.” Hearing that, they were curious to find out how Philip concluded that. “Although she’s not that good-looking, I don’t think she’s weird. What do you think is wrong with her?” Carlos said in puzzlement, wondering why Philip felt that this woman was weird. “The woman seems to have a fatal attraction to the male customers. It’s a scary ability to make these men flock to her.” It was weird that a woman with average looks could attract so many men. No one would believe that she had a strong appeal. “Welcome to Moon Tavern. I’ll be singing a song for you today. I hope you like it.” The woman's delicate voice rang, and everyone felt relaxed and happy. Even Philip felt that this voice was very charming, like the sound of nature ringing in his ears. However, Philip was not a fool. He keenly sensed something wrong with the situation. Nothing would be charming enough to attract him. For it to happen meant that something was wro
“Give us three pots of tea. We don’t need anything else. Thank you.” Philip did not order anything else. In his opinion, he was just here to find information, so his money should be spent on things that mattered the most. The waiter rolled his eyes at the order and seemed to look down on Philip. “Customers, are you sure you only want a few pots of tea? We have many snacks too,” the waiter said in disdain. Carlos was more concerned about his image, so he was shocked by the waiter’s obvious disdain. “Yes, we only need a pot of tea each. We want to have a taste first.” Adam's attitude was much better, speaking with a friendly smile on his face. Even if the waiter was angry, he could do nothing about it. The waiter left cursing under his breath. He thought that they were big customers, but they did not even give him a tip. Philip glanced at the waiter helplessly. Even waiters were so arrogant nowadays. Philip and the others were quickly served three pots of tea. The pots
