The Magician of Clow

Chapter 1382 No.17 Lot
Amphitheatre, dark boxes on the pitch-black audience,
As the young man raised his hand silently, the things hidden in the stage lot materialized out of thin air!

The beacon that Troy escaped from the black market, the core key to the association's operation tonight,
Normally speaking, if you want to get it without being noticed by the other party and give up the plan, there is no other way but to do it to the holder. It requires a careful operation and is very likely to face a fierce battle.
But when [Create Card] is activated, all these are omitted,
Skip the original several plans of the Palace of Night for 'No. 35', and skip the long and tortuous process like the energy field,
This time, use [Create Card] to directly conjure up the ability medium that hides the position of Troy,
Breaking common sense, this is what Fangran thought of tonight!

That's right, although I couldn't think of a method like Veronica's, it was more because of the gap in thinking, knowledge, and insight, but other than that, it was also because,
He didn't really care who took the photo.

In fact, if it weren't for the meticulousness of whether the medium is not an object, whether it has not yet been formed, Fangran didn't even need to confirm it with his own eyes.

But in any case, at the moment of seeing the composition of that lot with 'wisdom',

Tonight the last uncertainties melt away,

The location of Troy is already close at hand!

At this moment, when I saw the strange crystal appearing out of thin air, my eyes were brilliant, but it was not surprising or inconceivable, but as if I saw something I wanted to see,
Veronica smiled brightly and looked at the young man beside her:

"It's really a convenient ability. If I want the confidential information of the latest fighter jets from other countries, can you also conjure them?"

"Until then, the Nightnet Pact would be violated in the first place."

Responding calmly, he was helpless as to why the things this person wanted were always of this level, so he withdrew his attention from the auction outside,
Fangran looked at the crystal in his hand that exuded a strange purple halo.

The medium derived from the mysterious side ability, without the appropriate ability, I am afraid that even if you get this thing, you will not be able to find out where Troy is.
But 'wisdom' analyzes the composition of this ability medium, and when it 'sees' a vein of magic energy connected to it,
A place clearly emerges on the perceptual plane!
"found it."

When he sensed that position, Fangran opened his golden right pupil and spoke softly,
The plummeting stock price of Golden Iris, the turbulent "Wall Street", the whole of New York is caught in a financial crisis, and at this moment,

The key link that triggers all this affects the source of the ability of retail investors around the world,
Troy's hideout is finally revealed!

"It's a pity, I still want to experience what it's like to be robbed."

Hearing what he said, put away the 'small pistol' in his hand, pretended to be sorry and sighed helplessly, and then put away the joke in the next second,
Veronica looked at Fangran with a deep glint in her silver-gray eyes:

"So, what are you going to do next?"

"Now that his location has been confirmed, all that remains is to catch him,"

Putting away the weird crystals in his hand, repeating the purpose of coming to the black market tonight, recalling everything that happened before nightfall,
"There is only one day left before the goal of the future consortium is achieved,"

Fangran's wide-open Canjin looked into the box and it was past ten o'clock.

"We're running out of time."

The opening time of the U.S. stock market is 9:30 in the morning, and the pre-market trading is 5 and a half hours before that, that is to say, the day after tomorrow morning from what Lancelot said.
Only less than thirty hours left!

If the influence of this worldwide ability has not been lifted during this period, wait until the stock market opens at 4 am the day after tomorrow,
The stock of Golden Iris will completely collapse under the new round of selling by retail investors around the world that day.
By then, the real estate industry, which is a special industry, is expected to lose more than 500 billion U.S. dollars through the super-wide interests involved in things like finance.

A huge tsunami will be set off in the ocean of economic globalization! ! !
Under such a precarious situation, it stands to reason that they should have started to act immediately,
"But as far as I know, it seems that in order to prevent the occurrence of strange thieves, all participants are not allowed to leave the auction until the end of the auction,"

At this time, talking about the rules of the black market auction, Veronica looked into Fangran's eyes and smiled:

"What should I do, are you going to sneak out?"

"There is no need to challenge the rules of the auction and add redundant enemies,"

Be it the auctioneer in the black and white dress in front of you, or the man in the tuxedo who just entered, these participants who belong to the black market are not simple people,
Watching the auction hammer fall in Gloria's hand under the white light of the stage,

Fangran turned his attention to the box No. 35, which was successfully auctioned.

"He also can't leave before the auction ends, we'll just wait until after that."

"Is it,"

And hearing his arrangement, Veronica smiled lightly, and continued to look into the auction room with a smile:
"It just so happens that I also want to see what the finale auction is tonight."

After confirming the location of Troy, the purpose of coming to the auction tonight has been achieved, and my concentration has been slightly slowed down. When I heard Veronica say this,

Fangran also turned his attention back to the auction itself.

After the lot that was taken away by box No. 35 just now, several other lots of similar specifications appeared one after another.
Ultra-long-distance guided sniper artillery, mysterious spears that can be shot into the target and become larger, and large mines that are ten times the size of the Black Death Star
Different from the psionic bombs that aimed at groups of low-level numbers at the beginning, the lots that appeared later were all aimed at powerful numbers at the level of B-15.
Then as the auction draws to a close, tonight's No.16 lot,

It is also the most important lot since the opening and finally debuted!

When the auctioneer in the black and white dress waved his hand,
In the center of the white light on the stage, an exceptionally large round platform slowly rises, on top of which it is bigger than an armored tank
The three heads of the pitch-black and alien-shaped mechanical hellhound are silent with a single red eye!

And at the moment when this powerful and hideous creation was unveiled, Gloria excitedly announced its name,
"Number 3104 - [Workshop Mechanics - Cerberus Three-Headed Dog]!"

"The starting price - 2 million!"

Then tonight's first lot with a starting price of 2 million appeared!

The workshop machine, from the hand of the third pillar, is an iconic terrorist weapon under the association's command,
Known for their quantity, destructiveness, ability to devour the evolution of the same kind, and almost every one of them is unique and difficult to defend against, it is a powerful boost that makes the official elite generally stronger than other groups,

Any participant who has been in North America will be familiar with it!
"Box 4, 2 million!"

When the first bid rings, the competition begins,
The size of the armored car, and the ferocious shape of the hell three-headed dog, has undoubtedly swallowed up an unknown number of the same kind,
Normally, unless you join an association, it is extremely difficult to obtain a workshop machine, let alone such a rare and powerful individual,

Because of this, several boxes in the auction field bid one after another,
The starting price alone is already as high as 2 million U.S. dollars. According to the bidding trend of tonight's auction, the final transaction price will definitely exceed 3 million U.S. dollars.
After some bidding, the first bidder, No. 4, took it for 3 million.

Box No. 9, when I saw the dark and ferocious three-headed hell dog, I was fascinated for a moment. I didn't expect that there would be such things as workshop machinery in the auction.
Recalling the words Veronica said while walking on the streets of the black market, thinking about the benefits, attraction, and winning value of the scenes that may be created in the future.
At this moment, Fangran suddenly understood the meaning of the auction.

With the sale of this lot, tonight's auction finally ushered in No.17,

It is also the last lot to appear!
After so many accidents with powerful equipment, items, and even workshop machinery before,
At this moment, Fangran was also a little curious about what the last lot would be.

"The next item to be auctioned is the last item in this auction,"

At this moment, standing in the white light of the stage, she announced with a chuckle, and Gloria looked around the audience and said slowly:
"About this lot is a little special, if someone familiar with the history of the auction should remember the only lot we failed to sell."

When hearing her words, many participants in the box moved their eyes as if thinking of something,
Different from real auctions, due to the participants' demand for stronger power and purchasing power, it is reasonable to say that there will be no unsold auctions in black market auctions.

But since the establishment of this auction house, there is only one special case.
"Yes, it was provided by the owner of the 'New York Black Market' as the entrusting party,"

And as if affirming, Gloria said the name of the last finale lot at this moment!

"Lot No. 0000—Promise of the black market owner."

"Under the premise of not violating certain rules, no matter what life or death crisis you encounter, or what you want to achieve, that one will definitely agree to your request,"

"Of course, you can also replace it with an equivalent thing."

As if describing something dreamy, some fiery and longing colors flashed in the eyes,

Gloria slowly said the standard that touched the heartstrings of all the participants.

"Even if it's A-level, there's no problem."

Grade A,
This short name seemed to have a huge weight when it fell, and the whole audience was quiet.

No one knows who the real owner of the black market in New York is, but with things like scene fragments, anyone can think that it is definitely a powerful existence,

And a promise from him, a promise with a value of A,

This is enough to make an unknown number of people crazy about it!
When he 'saw' this last lot, Fangran was slightly incredulous. Fangran didn't expect that there would actually be an A-grade lot in the black market auction.

And it still appears in such a special way.

"It turned out to be such a thing, what a pity,"

And also learned the true face of the No.17 lot, Veronica smiled as if regretting,

To some extent, she already had a 'superior replacement' and suddenly lost interest.

"I'm also looking forward to whether the finale auction will be a night device."

If it's a night machine, what are you going to do?
Looking at the bidding interface she had drawn casually, she thought silently, Fangran looked at the field again, curious about the A-level that was difficult to measure with money,
What price would such a promise fetch.

"As for the price of this lot, I want to be the final winner,"

After introducing the uniqueness of the last finale lot, Gloria announced its "starting price" at this time:
"You need to find this thing."

A hand-drawn sketch emerges from the projection, and what is drawn on it is...
An old-fashioned, bronze-coloured spotting telescope.

"That's what the commissioners wanted to recover, an ordinary spotting telescope that fell off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in the 30s."

When I heard the beginning, I was stunned for a moment, thinking that no wonder it would be an A-level high-price promise, and I wanted to find an item that fell into the ocean without any special items.

It's a real needle in a haystack,
Moreover, it was a long-term event decades ago in the last century, and that thing may have been eroded in the sea water long ago.
When thinking of these, Fangran felt a flash of emotion,
It is impossible for the other party to think of this kind of thing, but even so, they are willing to pay such a price for it,
Maybe that thing really has such value to him.

"Don't you take a picture, it's easy for you, right?"

At this time, looking at Gloria's explanation, Veronica raised a smile and looked at the young man beside her,
"As I said, there is no need to cause unnecessary trouble."

But to this Fangran just answered calmly.

It is really easy to use the ability of [Create Cards], but in this situation, any unexpected problems may cause unknown changes,
And for Fangran, he didn't need the promise of an A-level who didn't know where.

And the moment he finished saying that,
when, when, when,

The door of the box in the auction house was knocked suddenly.

The moment he heard the knock on the door, his eyes were lowered, wondering why someone would knock on the door at this time, all kinds of conjectures and plans floated in his mind for a moment,
Looking at Veronica with an interesting surprise, without any panic,

At this moment, Fangran just looked at the entrance of the box, and the voice was calm:

"Please come in."

Then in the next second that the pupil of the right eye is golden and rich,
At the entrance of the auction house, the man in tuxedo holding a cane and wearing a ball mask appeared.

"Sorry to interrupt your time, but please allow me, as a member of the New York black market, to convey an invitation to meet you, sir."
-
【reality】-
An invitation to a meeting?
Unexpectedly, it was him who knocked on the door suddenly. Hearing the content of his sudden words, [Scale Card] was activated,
Fangran watched him calmly without saying a word.

And seeing him silently waiting for the next text, the man in the tuxedo showed a smile on his face, and he stood near the door with a smile and said:
"The founder of this auction house hopes to meet with you."
-
【reality】-
Founder of the auction house?
The moment he heard what he said, Fangran's eyes moved turbulently.

"This is a mysterious item that can project the user's consciousness to another location. Please rest assured that you can interrupt this state at any time without any risk,"

"Of course, if you have no intention of agreeing, just leave it here."
-
【reality】-
Without any extra words, as if he was responsible for conveying such a short message, the man in the tuxedo knocked on his cane,
After flying something up and placing it in front of Fangran as a signal, he simply left.

"Oh? Really an unexpected and interesting invitation?"

Seeing this scene, Veronica chuckled very interested in this unexpected episode,
But Fangran was picking up that thing at the moment, and all kinds of thoughts came to mind in a trance!
What does the owner of the auction house want to see him do?
Did he discover his identity?He realized that he was the purpose of tonight?He wants to warn himself?He wants to ask for benefits?Or was he planning to stop himself?
For a while, all kinds of guesses flashed,
But in the end, Fangran still exhaled slowly. No matter what the other party's purpose is, now that he has found him, in order to ensure the capture of Troy tonight,

He had to agree to the invitation to find out and confirm the other party's intentions.

Without completely relying on the result of [Scale Card], Canjin lightly confirmed that the mysterious item in her hand was not a threat as the other party said,
"Do you want me to go with you?"

At this time, I heard Veronica's light smile in her eyes suggested,
I feel that if she is on the horse, no matter what kind of negotiation will be a problem, but the queen herself cannot be put in danger. If the ability is activated, open the [shield] light wall,
Fangran looked at Veronica beside him and said softly:
"Using mysterious items requires mana, and don't leave my side."

Then after getting her smiling response, he input the magic energy to activate this mysterious item,
Then after the next blink,
The field of vision changes.

What appeared in front of me was a not-so-big hut, with desks, chairs, piles of books, erected astronomical mirrors, manuscript paper full of records and drawings, and instruments placed everywhere.
In this sunlight-filtered scene like the astronomer's study of the last century,

There is a young man who looks slender and quiet.

He is the founder of the auction house.?

When I saw this figure, I thought to myself, and the next second,
Fangran heard a peaceful voice that seemed to have no emotional fluctuations.

"You have You Ye's stuff on you, who are you to her?"

Varied!

Hearing such direct words at the moment of meeting, Fangran, who was still thinking about how to negotiate, opened his eyes slightly, as if he had noticed that his words were too direct.
The slender and quiet young man nodded immediately, looked at Fangran and continued to speak very peacefully:
"Sorry, I don't usually talk to people very much and introduce myself as the owner of this black market,"

"I. Copperfield."

Black market master! ?
But when he heard his words, his eyes suddenly widened this time,

But I am not surprised that the quiet and peaceful man in front of me is the consignor of the lot just now, and the owner of the scene fragment of 'New York Black Market',
It's the name he said last, in the database of Il's connection to 'You Ye',

Fangran knew a more well-known nickname!

A-level high-ranking technologist, one of the controllers of the six ultimate powers in the night battle world,

Song of the Wanderer-NO.IV-Star Ring!

　To be honest, when I didn’t finish writing this chapter an hour ago, my mentality exploded. I have been sitting for two days from morning to night. Why did I still write it so late, but I didn’t want to In order to catch up with the update before midnight, I split it into two chapters, because at the end of the last one, I thought the writing was very handsome, but the response was mediocre (cover my face), so I always feel that the writing is very flat and meaningless, so I keep struggling , how to word it, it would be better to conceive it like this, and then I couldn’t think of it, and then the time passed by (tears running), I actually wrote this point, and I have to get up early tomorrow to do nucleic acid
