Chapter 355 - The Final Item
Translator:?EndlessFantasy Translation??Editor:?EndlessFantasy Translation
After giving Dave a new hint, Vincent quickly ran back to the small room. He was not worried that Dave would be unhappy with him, but he was afraid that his existence would affect the future relationship between him and Catherine.
However, as soon as he returned to the room, Vincent saw Monica looking at him with panic and anticipation.
Vincent asked blankly, “What’s wrong with you?”
Monica asked nervously, “What did you mean when you said that you wanted to deal with me?”
Vincent frowned and shook his head. He replied, “Nothing much. I just wanted to brush off the relationship between us!”
Monica heard this and felt a little relaxed. She sighed with disappointment and said, “Now I realize that apart from being crazy and scary, you are also a very dark person!”
Vincent frowned and asked, “Eh? Why do you say that about me?”
Monica did not say anything. Instead, she raised her hand to point at the window.
Vincent looked out and saw David standing in the hall. He was crying, laughing, yelling, and making a scene as if he had gone crazy. He was holding the Seven Stars Flying Thunder Sword that had just been auctioned off. He was shouting that he wanted to rush up and fight with Dave.
Fortunately, there were experts in the auction house. Someone immediately rushed up to control David who was going crazy. They also called two servants to help calm David down.
Vincent pursed his lips in embarrassment when he saw the scene. He could not help but turn to Monica and ask, “I was just chatting with His Highness earlier and did not see what had happened outside. What on earth is going on?”
Monica spread her hands and said, “After David raised the price to 30 million crystal coins, His Highness stopped raising the price. Then the auctioneer determined that David had bought the stone for 30 million crystal coins! Then David started to cry in front of everyone. He said that the auctioneer dropped the hammer too quickly and didn’t give the others a chance to raise the price. He even begged the auctioneer to give His Highness more time. But the auction had already ended. The auctioneer could only persuade David to pay the auction price!”
After hearing Monica’s explanation, Vincent could not help but ask, “So David paid the money, but then what was he laughing about?”
Monica said helplessly, “After he paid the money, he suddenly laughed. He even said that all of this was a conspiracy. It was His Highness Dave’s plan to trap him. Then, he made a big fuss and said that he wants to compete with His Highness. He even wanted to teach the entire auction house a lesson and burn it to the ground. Finally, he said that he wanted the entire Demon Flame City to be buried alongside him!”
When Vincent heard this, he could not help but nod and sigh.
“Hmm, it seems like this child has gone mad with anger! However, you can’t blame this all on me. If it wasn’t for him wanting to compete with Dave, he would not have suffered losses one after another. It can only be said that his own jealousy has caused him to have inner demons. That’s why he ended up in this situation!”
Monica shook her head and retorted, “No! It’s just that your mind is too dark! A normal individual would never think of such a despicable method like you. It’s not enough to trick others once. You even want to trick them a second time. No matter how normal someone is, they would be driven mad by you!”
Vincent looked at Monica who was refuting him in a serious manner. He could not help but raise his hand to pinch his nose. He then said with a smile, “Aren’t you afraid of me now? You still dare to say that my mind is dark!”
Monica shook her head and said with a smile, “I’m not afraid! I’m not afraid of you anymore after I saw you help His Highness calm down!”
Vincent sat up straight and asked curiously, “Then tell me, why are you not afraid of me?”
Monica replied, “Previously, I was afraid because I found out that you are a foreign race. I was worried that you would do harm to me and the entire Dark Elves Race! But when I saw you treating His Highness so sincerely, I knew that you don’t really hate Dark Elves, so, I don’t have to be afraid of you!”
Vincent listened to Monica’s reasonable analysis and could not help but laugh.
“I really couldn’t tell that you are a little genius!”
When Monica heard Vincent’s praise, not only did she raise her chin proudly, but she also revealed her innocent expression.
Vincent only smiled at her. It seemed that Monica had been living quite well under the protection of Lady Catherine. At least, she still retained a part of her innocence. If she was not simple-minded, she would not just smile after learning his identity.
Vincent then said to Monica, “Don’t be happy too early! Maybe I am actually a person with a dark mind, and the way I act in front of you is just a disguise! Just wait until you have completely let your guard down, then I will suddenly attack and hurt you!”
Monica stopped smiling and looked at Vincent who was threatening her. She could not help but pucker her lips and said, “Not only are you dark, but you are also a big pervert!”
“Haha!”
Vincent could not help but cover his stomach and laugh. In his past life, there were those who praised him and others who cursed him, but no one had ever commented on him as Monica did.
This made Vincent feel like she was very interesting. This was because, in this Black Hole world where everyone was dangerous, it was rare for him to meet such an innocent and cute creature!
Monica saw his reaction and thought that Vincent was mocking her. She could not help but frown and said, “Have you laughed enough? The fifth item is already on the stage!”
Vincent slowly stopped laughing and wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes. He calmed his mind and looked toward the auction stage.
There was a tray on the auction stage. On the tray was a jade plate that was only two fingers wide. The surface of the plate was flowing with water-like patterns. It looked very magical.
The auctioneer raised his hand to pick up the jade token. He then said to the crowd, “This item was also found from the aircraft that had crashed into the Black Hole world. This material is definitely not from our Dark Elves World. According to the outside world, this item should be called Jade. It is a material that can be used to set up arrays, make scrolls, and other special equipment! At the same time, it is said that in ancient times, there were powerful races who had mastered the technology to store information using this material. However, we have no idea what the use of this piece of spiritual jade is for. The only thing we can be sure of is that this piece of jade was carved in a very distant ancient era. The historical information and value of the collection in it goes without saying. Therefore, the starting price for it is 10,000 crystal coins!”
Vincent, who was in the small room, could not help but squint his eyes when he heard the auctioneer’s words.
He originally thought that this piece of jade was just an internal product of the Dark Elves Race. However, he did not expect the Dark Elves not to produce jade at all. The origin of this piece of jade was related to the aircraft that had been shot down.
According to Vincent’s guess, the aircraft probably belonged to a group of high-level scavengers. They had found the world where the ancient Zerg lived, which was why they had obtained the Mother Nest Insect Egg and this piece of jade!
Based on Vincent’s memory, although the ancient Zerg Race also produced jade, the Zerg Race did not know how to carve jade. Among the few major races that had entered the ancient Zerg World, only the immortals liked to use jade. They had used jade to form arrays and make special equipment such as communication devices.
More importantly, the Immortals had a unique technique, which was to grind jade into smaller jade tokens that stored important information. The information contained the location of some treasures and the cultivation methods of the Immortals’ special abilities. They called them jade tokens!
At first, Vincent was not sure, but after the auctioneer’s introduction, he could almost confirm that this jade token was left behind by an Immortal powerhouse during the battle to exterminate the ancient Zerg Race!
After much thought, Vincent believed that the Immortal Race was rather similar to the Human Race. However, they were more powerful. Therefore, Vincent could not wait to pull open the curtains to tell Dave that he wanted the jade token.
“Your Highness, I want that token!”
At that moment, Dave was drinking in satisfaction. Catherine was no longer sitting on the sofa opposite him. Instead, she sat beside Dave and gently leaned on his shoulder. She was smiling as she poured wine for him. It could be seen that their relationship was one step closer than before!
At that moment, Dave knew that Vincent had successfully helped him to take their relationship to the next level. He felt somewhat grateful for him. He immediately said, “Alright, then I’ll buy it for you! But if that madman David still refuses to let go, I can only play with him once more. When the time comes, you can go to him and steal it back altogether!”
Vincent nodded and said, “If David still dares to raise the price, then just do as Your Highness says! But I think he no longer has the courage!”
After hearing that, Dave could not help but become interested. He patted Catherine’s leg gently to ask her to move away from his shoulder. He then stood up and walked to the window. He shouted, “I’ll directly bid 100,000 crystal coins! Is there anyone who is willing to raise the price?”
Everyone in the hall chose to remain silent after hearing that. A jade token that was of no use and only had a collector’s value was priced at 100,000 gold coins. It could only be said that the Dark Elf upstairs was very rich. Moreover, he had not spent his money all night. There was probably only one Dark Elf who would continue to compete with him.
Everyone turned to look at David, who was sitting in the first row. David had just calmed down. However, he could not help but feel a sweetness in his throat when he heard Dave’s voice. It was as if blood was gushing up from his heart.
David endured the pain of his anger that was attacking his heart. He swallowed the blood that was gushing out of his throat forcefully. He then muttered to himself in a low voice, “B*stard! Do you still think that you can trick me three times in a row? This time, I will definitely not fall for it again! You can call me whatever you want, but I will ignore you!”
Under everyone’s eager gazes, David did not make any movements. This meant that he would not participate in the auction of the jade token. It was also clear who had won the bid at this time. At the same time, it also made everyone feel very disappointed.
This young elder was so brave earlier that no one dared to look directly at his sharp edge. Unfortunately, he lacked strength. This meant that there was no good finale to watch.
In the end, the jade token was bought by Dave at a price of 100,000 crystal coins. It was quickly sent to a private room on the second floor.
Dave picked up the jade token on the tray and glanced at it lightly. He then asked Vincent, “Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a huge secret hidden inside this little thing, but we elves do not have the means to open it at all. It can only be said to be a treasure that is out of our reach. What do you want it for?”
Vincent smiled and said, “A collection! Besides, I think this jade token is very beautiful. It is also good to wear to ward off evil!”
Dave smiled and did not take Vincent’s words seriously. He just handed the jade token in his hand to Vincent.
After taking the jade token, Vincent wore it on his neck immediately. He smiled and said, “Then Your Highness, you go ahead. I’m going back in!”
After saying that, Vincent walked back to the small room and closed the curtains again.
“Modify the isolation!”
Vincent used the modification authority again to ensure that the small room was an independent space. Even the sound of the auction outside could not be heard. This was because he could not wait to find out the information that was sealed in this jade token!
Monica, who was sitting next to Vincent, could not help but ask curiously, “What are you doing?”
Vincent said, “I want to open this jade token. There might be some danger, so I sealed this room in advance to prevent others from being hurt!”
Monica was shocked and said, “What about me?”
Vincent said with a serious expression, “Didn’t I tell you before? Only if you stop believing in Gajero and believe in me as a god, can your safety be guaranteed!”
Monica quickly replied, “I believe, I believe in you! From now on, you are my only God, okay?”
Vincent suddenly laughed and said, “Okay, it’s a deal! From now on, you are safe!”
Monica’s expression instantly changed. She realized that she had been fooled by Vincent once again. She could not help but glare at Vincent angrily. She then turned around and looked out of the window, no longer paying attention to Vincent.
Vincent only smiled lightly after seeing her reaction. He then placed the jade token in his left hand and closed his eyes to search for the memories in his mind.
In the memory fragments of the Immortals, there was a method that could be used to decipher the information in the jade token. It required the use of psionic power and a unique finger technique. It was like entering a password. Vincent would need to use different arrangements and combinations to figure it out. Only then can he decipher the information sealed in the jade token. This method was known as the point spirit technique!
Vincent kept making different hand gestures with his right hand. At the same time, thin lines made of psionic power spread out from his ten fingers and entered the jade token that was in his left hand.
At that moment, the jade token suddenly shone brightly. Majestic information began to surge into Vincent’s mind!
After rearranging the information in mind, Vincent could finally see the full picture of the information contained in the jade token.
The secret technique of the ancient Immortals, the Art of Heaven’s Will!
The Art of Heaven’s Will was a secret technique that could strengthen the cultivator’s own communications with heaven and earth. It also contained a set of close-range combat techniques called the eight forms of Heaven’s Will. After mastering them, each form could cause chaos in heaven and on earth. It was a very powerful secret technique.
Vincent was a blade master. After understanding the essence of the eight forms of Heaven’s Will, he discovered that he could integrate them into his blade technique. In time, he would definitely be able to develop a complete set of the sword technique of Heaven’s Will!
After an unknown period, Vincent finally finished comprehending the Art of Heaven’s Will.
When he opened his eyes again, the light around him had already faded like the tide. The jade token in his left hand had also shattered into countless small pieces.
Vincent saw two faint green vortexes before him. Not only could they help him communicate with heaven and earth, but they could also help him to increase the level of the Art of Heaven’s Will. They also helped to strengthen his eyes. When he completes the Art of Heaven’s Will, he would be able to see through the nature of heaven and earth!
At that moment, Vincent realized that everything in front of him was completely different from before. He could clearly feel the distance between him and the ground. It was as if he could see through the layers of rocks.
Suddenly, Vincent thought of something and held out his palm. His ordinary action did not mobilize any psionic power. However, it contained the power of the Art of Heaven’s Will which allowed him to communicate with heaven and earth.
“Boom!”
The entire auction house instantly shook, scaring everyone in the hall. The audience jumped up from their seats and look around with a worried expression.
Vincent felt the slight vibration in the surroundings and could not help but sigh helplessly. He had only obtained a small trick from the Art of Heaven’s Will. The power of heaven and earth that he could communicate with was very little. What would happen if he successfully cultivated the Art of Heaven’s Will? His one palm would be enough to bury everyone underground!
Monica, who had been sitting beside Vincent, could not help but sigh in shock when she saw the scene.
“You, what did you do just now? Did you cause the tremors here?”
Vincent put down his hand and said with a smile, “I’ve already said that I will be the god that you believe in in the future! Then I have to have some abilities that are worthy of a god, right?”
Monica nodded repeatedly and sighed, “Worthy, worthy. In my heart, you are already a God!”
Vincent smiled slightly after hearing that. He then turned his head to look at the jade token fragments in his hand, and said softly, “Modify and restore!”
The jade token was enveloped by a glistening energy. It was then restored to its original state as if it had never been broken. However, the glistening light on the surface of the jade token had long disappeared. It was currently an ordinary jade token.
Vincent stared at the jade token for a long time. He then put it on Monica’s neck and said to her, “Since you are my first follower, I have to give you a welcome gift. You can take this jade token with you!”
Monica did not dare to refuse and could only let Vincent put the jade token on her neck. She raised her hand to touch the cool jade token as if she was thinking about something.
Vincent immediately removed the modification authority in the small room. He looked at the Dark Elves panicking outside the window and could not help but sigh, “What’s going on down there? I wonder how long the auction has been going on!”
The auctioneer stood on the auction stage and said repeatedly, “Everyone, there’s no need to panic! Just now, there was only a slight tremor, it was not an earthquake! Moreover, every floor of Hell’s Rose is protected by a magic array. Even if there’s an earthquake, everyone will be fine. Now, please return to your seats. I’m about to start the auction for today’s last item. It’s also a unique treasure!”
After hearing the announcement, everyone in the hall felt slightly relieved. After confirming that the previous tremor would not happen again, they returned to their seats. However, they still urged the auctioneer to start the auction urgently as they all wanted to leave the place early.
The auctioneer looked at the Dark Elves that had returned to their seats and said with a smile, “Alright then! Next, the last item, the Elf King’s remains!”
