Douluo Dalu : White God 23 Change In Scenario

"5.000.000!"

Immediately after the auctioneer started the auction, the city lord Immediately bid his price.

"Hmmph, this suit is a masterpiece! I never thought that you're shameless enough to just offer a meager amount of 5.000.000 gold coins, I bid ten million!" The old man Ku sneered at his lifelong rival's bid, they both bid with a resolve 'No matter what, I'll take this treasure home!'

"Just sit well and enjoy your drink you wrinkled relic, else your rheumatic may act up again! Ten million and a half!"

Everyone at the auction venue feels their jaw agape, this item's base price was just 500.000 and just in three bid its price already went through the roof! With ten million Gold, several ordinary families can last for their whole life! Yet these two people treat this amount of money like a pebble on the side road.

"Who you're calling wrinkled relic? don't you have a mirror at home? Just use your money to enjoy your time with some women from the fairy palace at the capital, I bid fifteen, no, twenty million!"

...

Meanwhile, when everyone's focus is on the city lord and fire mountain's fourth elder, Si Yu's back already drenched with cold sweat. He thought that compared to their Wishful Eight Treasure Soft Armor, this Spider Suit was indeed extraordinary. He can't help but feel bitter inside, he thought that the blacksmith a.s.sociation will become a pioneer in this kind of treasure manufacturing.

"How is it Ah Yu? Is the treasure Ah Piao said is real?"

When his mind wandered, the voice of an old man sounded from his side. By reflect, he turned his head to look at the one who talked before.

"Master! Unfortunately what Ah Piao said was true, The city lord and fire mountain fourth elder is now competing fiercely for the owners.h.i.+p of this treasure." Seeing that it was his master that called him, Si Yu bowed in respect and answered him.

"Alas, even though it's unfortunate that we can't become the pioneer in this field, it also kind of a wake up call for us. How many years has it been since our a.s.sociation founded? Yet it hasn't made any significant achievement.

"Despite that, because our a.s.sociation was the only one place for many blacksmiths with competence gather, we became too big-headed. Now someone who's not from our a.s.sociation has made a breakthrough in defensive treasure field, we must put more effort to polish our skill more."

As if enlighted by the a.s.sociation master's words, Si Yu's eyes sparkled with some bizarre light. He took a deep breath and once again sincerely bowed to his master.

"Thank you for your enlightenment, master."

"Now whoever won this item, we must ask whether we're allowed to take a look closely on this item." added the a.s.sociation master.

When the two blacksmiths were done with their little conversation, the bid already reaches a whopping price of a hundred million gold coins. All of these bids were only done by two prestigious people, none dared to offend them and bid for this item. That's true until...

"Two hundred Million gold coins! Let see who dare to bid higher than this!"

A shrill voice reverberating inside the auction hall, many of the people present reflexively covered both of their ears. On the VIP section's entrance, there's a lanky man wearing a white robe with golden motives and golden earrings.

"Spirit hall branch head? What is he doing here? shouldn't he be on his way to spirit city to attend spirit hall branch yearly a.s.sembly?"

Si Yu and blacksmiths a.s.sociation master couldn't help but blurted out their thought, are the news of these treasures already reach the spirit hall's upper echelon? If it is then it's spelled bad news for them! Spirit Hall surely won't let this precious item to be inspected by the blacksmiths a.s.sociation.

...

"Hmph, I'll see who dare to have the gall to outbid me, Jian Xi! My Spirit Hall want this item!" [1]

Hearing this, many people feel offended, but what can they do? their little company and clan cannot afford to offend the behemoth called Spirit Hall. Well, all of them but two.

"Yo, eunuch! Where do you think you are? You are in my city and yet you dare to flaunt in front of me?! it seems like you forget how to read the word respect." The City Lord, Dai Baole, tried his best to hold his urge to beat this eunuch to the ground and shove a piping hot steel rod to his a.s.s.

"Hoho, this Ku here want to know what will happen if I outbid you? It seems like Spirit Hall forget what happened to them when they offended the Starfall empire." Ku Jianghai said with a clear mocking expression on his face, he also tried his best to hold his urge to give this eunuch a hard beating.

Hearing two of their empire's big figures made many of the people present feel proud to become a part of this mighty empire. 'That's right! So what if you're a Spirit Hall? We are the Starfall Empire!' that mindset sticks strongly in their mind.

As for Jian Xi, hearing these two peoples chid made him grit his teeth and clench his fist hard. When his subordinate sent him a messenger bird and told him about this item, he can't help but turn back to Gengxin City. Even though he didn't attend the yearly a.s.sembly, if he's to offer this item to the pontiff, surely he'll be pardoned, right? And maybe if she got pleased he will be promoted to a higher position!

"Hmph, what Starfall Empire? if we wanted to, Spirit Hall could raze your so-called empire to the ground!"

Hearing what Jian Xi said, the hall suddenly fell into silence.

"Ha! I just said a bit and see for yourself, you scared stiff and immediately zip your mouth to silence." feeling satisfied with what he said, Jian Xi keep his blabber with his shrill voice, not realizing what kind of problem he brought to the Spirit Hall.

"Jian Xi, about what you said earlier. Did those words represent yourself, or the Spirit Hall?"

A golden-haired man in the corner seat watched what has transpired, he chuckled with an amused expression on his face.

'This scenario is really unexpected, but still not out of hand. I didn't expect that the spirit hall intervention will escalate the problem pretty quickly.'

Jian Xi feels that Dai Baole words as if challenging His authority as Spirit Hall Branch Head, 'even if I just a branch head, I'm still a quite important figure in spirit hall okay!'

"Of course for the like of you, my words is more than enough to represent Spirit Hall!"

"If so, you do know what kind of consequence of tarnis.h.i.+ng Starfall Empire's name in its own land, right?" Dai Baole's face becomes eerily solemn, along with his words, the auction hall's atmosphere becomes heavy.

"Eh?" Feeling the atmosphere suddenly change, Jian Xi suddenly got a bad hunch.

"It means..."

"WAR!"
