Since the Light and Shadow City is the first and only city-state established by the player in Lost Temple, so they are authorized by the system to hold their own auctions on a regular basis, which was a good news for the players in the game. As everyone knows, the Lost Temple game is famous for its “skills were difficult to learn, the level was difficult to rise, and the equipment was rare.”
The Light and Shadow City was strong as the cloud, and it was very likely that they will find a treasure at their auction. Most players held this mind, even people with little money in their pockets were curious to come to have fun, to open their eyes*. So for a while, the Light and Shadow City was in a magnificent and unprecedented event.

(T/n: 开眼界 open their eyes: expand one's horizons)
By the time the auction officially began, the 10.000-person venue provided by the system had already been packed, even outside the door stood full of people, looked up at the auction site which was broadcast live on a big screen.

The tickets for the last row of light were five gold coins each person, ten gold coins in the middle, and fifty gold coins in the front row. Perfect Storm and Fusu in the background counted the money till their hands cramped, and the laughing mouth was not closed.

The three elders big players of the Light and Shadow City – Drunken Evil Of The Throne, Flying Dragon In The Sky, and Cold Wave were dressed up as mascots placed in the VIP seat in front of the auction venue. The three warriors were impressive from head to toe, behind Drunken Evil Of The Throne was The Lance of Longinus, Cold Wave with the b.l.o.o.d.y-red sword in his hand and Flying Dragon In The Sky with a special suit of the Death Knight emitting a faint blue-black glow, it caught the attention of countless people at once.

However, many people came back and forth felt disappointed after scanning the VIP seats numerous times found that they didn't find the person they wanted to see the most —— the iconic figure of Light and Shadow City, Black Scorpion Scarred Mark and Falling To The Silence.

At the same time in the last row of the auction venue, sold with only five gold coin each person, Black Scorpion Scarred Mark who took the mask quietly patted Falling To The Silence's shoulder: “Silence, aren't we untrustworthy? Six Ways and all clearly promised that we will attend the auction…”

“We have already attended.” Angel —— now he should be called Fallen Angel who answer without guilty.

“…En, even if it's true.” After the two of them showed their ident.i.ty they would have no peace for a long time, so Black Scorpion Scarred Mark reluctantly accepted this idea of ​​stealth concept.

“Thank you for visiting the Light and Shadow City.” The gorgeous appearance of Rose of Versailles in a dress, made the hustle bustle venue calmed down immediately, it can be seen that the power of beauty is great —— leaving aside the evil nature of the rotten woman*, Rose of Versailles indeed a big beauty.

(T/n: Rotten woman is an alias for fujos.h.i.+ or boyxboy lovers)
“I'm sure everyone's in a hurry too, now take a look at our first auction item —— ‘Lily Earrings' made of pure white opal and crystal, increase mental and intellectual power by 10 point, and spell damage effect increased by 5%, the item has a blue level and the item quality is high.” Rose of Versailles held up a pair of unique earrings in her hand and explained the properties of the item in detail, and suddenly she deliberately aggravated her tone: “The most important thing is that this pair of Lily Earrings were made by our guild's jewelry craftsman, so it is the only pair in the whole game that belongs to you.”

The exquisite shape and good properties of the earrings have already made many female players feel excited and when they heard Rose of Versailles' words, many people are moved by the phrase “only belongs to you”, their eyes were brightly staring at the pair of earrings with a faint glow.

“All right, this ‘Lily Earrings' starts at 80 gold coins. Please make your bid.”

“85. ” There is an offer.

“90. ”

“100. ”

“120. ”

“125. ”

“150. ”

The game has been played to the present, most of the players have been in 70s and 80s level, they have sum of money in their hands, plus a lot of men can't help their girlfriends or wife's usurpation, so they have started bidding. At last the pair of earrings were sold at a high price of 250 gold.

Rose of Versailles smiled from ear to ear, secretly rushed “V” gesture to the VIP seats. G.o.d knows that these pair of earrings were just something made by An Tong in order to rush the level of jewelry processing.

The jewelry of the first few auctions were all An Tong's works, and these jewels alone make them earn tens of thousands of gold coins. The drop rate of the jewelry in the game was rare, most of them were rewards for the difficult missions, so the good shape and exquisite jewelry properties were popular.

“The following is the ‘Paralysis Poison' that can be applied to a dagger or a short-swords, giving the enemy a certain chance of paralysis for three seconds, it's definitely a great item for thief and a.s.sa.s.sin friends who travel and kill for their living, The auction price is 250 gold coin.”

Some people may ask, why was a bottle of poison even more expensive than a good-quality jewelry? That was because the alchemists in Lost Temple are very rare and the high-level alchemists are even rarer. Thinking about An Tong once spent nearly 1000 gold coin to buy a small bottle of paralysis poison with a little finger thickness.

So when the player who had little knowledge saw the bottle their eyes were lit up, Rose of Versailles' voice has just landed and someone had already increased the price. After discussing the bidding process, the bottle of paralysis poison was sold at a price of 500 gold

Many people who didn't partic.i.p.ate in the bidding wasn't like they didn't want this thing, but because the auction was only less than half done now, it was estimated that there will be a lot of good things, they were holding their wallet and wait for something more surprising.

“It's boring, Silence, do you have anything you want?” Black Mark yawned and looked at the same boring Falling To The Silence, the latter shook his head as expected.

The list of the auction items they have seen for a long time, the jewelry were made by An Tong, the medicines were all made by Black Mark, the other equipment is probably a little tempting for others, but for them, except for the legendary artifact and the purple-rank epic level equipment, the other were completely rubbish.

“That…Why don't we sneak away?” The two exchanged a sly look, the corner of their eyes swept over the stiff companion who was sitting on the VIP table and was “watched”, unable to get up and slipped out of the auction venue.

Now that the two have just been reincarnated, the level was changed back to the first level. Except for the growing artifacts, the Vega Storm and the Taomari piercing the heart bow, the other equipment were thrown into the void bracelet because their level were not enough. Now they were wearing whiteboard novices, and plus with taking off the black-and-white mask that everyone knows, the two of them were swaying on the street full of players without anyone's attention. This has to make Black Scorpion Scarred Mark heavily lamented a sentence of “The big faintness is hidden in the city.”*

(T/n: “The big faintness is hidden in the city” is a popular novel; The hidden person; even if he has a great ability; but, it is wasted, because, he is a hidden person. Now, being invisible will be given a new definition; no longer being pursued, but choose to live in the bustling metropolis; no longer separate themselves from society, but casually and naturally hide all form of status.) 

“Next, what are you going to do?” Leisurely accompanying his beloved ones to hang out on the street without being disturbed, Falling To The Silence's mood was very rarely comfortable.

“What else are you going to do? Of course, it is to level up.” Their occupations are so special that the experience required for the upgrade is extremely large, Black Scorpion Scarred Mark have been roughly calculated, after the reincarnation they need to upgrade the experience value four times that of the average player. In this case, they are unable to upgrade with the average player team.

“I have a plan.” Black Scorpion Scarred Mark suddenly turned his head and looked at Falling To The Silence with a mysterious look and said. “Why don't we split up for a while, let's see who is going to the 100th level first, and then duel at the battlefield of the Light and Shadow City to see who is better, how about it?”

The idea of ​​real competing with Silence has been on Black Scorpion Scarred Mark's mind for a long time, but unfortunately there has been no chance, plus the two people were too familiar with each other's skills and fighting methods, so there was no suspense of a fight at all. But this reincarnation gave him a chance, a new skills, a new beginning, don't know what the result will be in the end.

“Okay.” Falling To The Silence agreed without hesitation, the separation from Black Mark made him feel a little reluctant, but to have an opportunity to compete with the other person in the future, the temptation of this idea was still very great for him.

“Now, that's the deal, here, i've been prepared for you.” Black Scorpion Scarred Mark smiled and traded with the other, the countless food and potions were shoved into Falling To The Silence, it can be seen that this ‘plot' has been brewing in his mind for a long time.

Nodded and watched the other side trade over, the items can be described as ‘ma.s.sive', Falling To The Silence felt somewhat moved, those many things were enough for him to use half a year alone, really do not know how long the other person has been preparing. He was just faintly nodded, there were times when grat.i.tude doesn't need to be said on the lips, the more important was to remember in the heart and give back with a hundred times of true feelings at the same time ——This is Falling To The Silence's purpose.

“Take this with you.” Pulled the little Sting Tail Lion Manticore out of the cloak and stuffed it into the other's arms, Falling To The Silence rarely said another sentence: “If it followed me, it will starve to death.”

Although this little fellow is not big, but it ate an astonis.h.i.+ng amount of food, it can eat three people's food in one day, and Falling To The Silence can't cook, maybe there was a real possibility of starving if it following him, thinking about that Black Scorpion Scarred Mark quickly stuffed the little fellow into his cloak.

In fact, Falling To The Silence let the Manticore follow the other person, the main thing was he worried about what dangers would Black Mark encounter, although with the other person's skill, there should be very few people who can pose a threat to him, but after all his level is zero after the reincarnation, his strength was greatly reduced, and if Manticore was with him, at least its fighting force couldn't be underestimated.

Neither of them was sloppy persons, although they were reluctant to part, but after a brief farewell they were still refres.h.i.+ngly separated.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO…… why should they intentionally separated….

But.. as they were back to the city, shouldn't he was there? The battle of the sky. Another Black Mark's admirer, will he meet him once again? could he has a chance? to just….being little closer… he was only meeting Black Mark for a brief moment like a cameo actor. He need more chance thou….
