Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 73 Strange Auction Items

Bai Hao sat on the soft sofa, listening to Paul enthusiastically boasting about all the strange and bizarre auction items tonight, but what he was thinking about was how to interrogate the Night Witch later.

A member of the mysterious Dark Night Witches from the far Western Regions was actually a marginal figure in the organization whose strength was only at the level of a magic user. His purpose of coming to Garcia Territory was just to collect simple experimental materials.

Bai Hao didn't understand why Viscount Garcia believed the interrogation result and even locked up the witch in a brothel without the strict supervision of high-level wizards. No matter how bold one is, there must be a limit.

Bai Hao was certain that this member of the Dark Night Witches from the Western Regions must be no simple person. Her strength might have been modified through special methods. Otherwise, it would be too fantastic for such a weak magician to be able to cross half of the continent alone.

And this witch must also be carrying out some kind of ulterior high-level organizational mission. This is also the best way for him to understand the Dark Night Witches of the Western Region. If she does not cooperate, Bai Hao does not mind letting Colin conduct some efficient interrogations at the Campbell Army Base later.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Bai Hao only hopes that Colin can extract the information he wants during the few days he stays.

Just like that, this weak, stupid and reckless witch in Bol's words has been imagined by Bai Hao to be a high-ranking member of the witch organization with hidden high-level strength who dares to cross the continent alone to carry out the secret mission of the Dark Night Witch.

When the guards brought plate after plate of delicacies that had been tested to be non-toxic, Kalia quickly forgot about the unpleasantness and focused on tasting the delicacies on the table.

Although Bai Hao was secretly thinking about what to do next, he still listened to Paul's enthusiastic introduction and had a general understanding of all the items to be auctioned tonight.

These auction items are nothing more than some special gems, talismans with peculiar functions, some precious ornaments from the royal families of the Central Plains principalities, some objects with special functions, and even orcs with rare bloodlines and beautiful elves.

Bai Hao had no interest in these things. After all, his own Campbell Auction House never lacked such auction items. But Bai Hao didn't mind making the two women and the officers accompanying him more comfortable.

So Bai Hao slowly stood up and said to everyone in the room calmly: "At the auction later, if you have any items you like, just ask. I will reimburse you for tonight's expenses!"

After Bai Hao finished speaking, he turned around and sat down gracefully, regardless of the stunned expressions of everyone in the room. A moment later, cheers rang out behind Bai Hao, and Bai Hao just nodded slightly.

Bai Hao had a deep understanding of Campbell's financial resources, so he would have no problem buying all the items at the auction at a high price. He only had to collect some interest from the debtor nobles on his way south.

As long as the principal of the debt is not touched, this is the only requirement Viscount Cullonan has for Bai Haonan to go south.

Soon, the lights in the auction hall dimmed, and the originally heated discussions around gradually became quiet. The light on the stage suddenly lit up, and Bai Hao recognized that this was a special intermediate-level fire element magic.

A woman with noble temperament suddenly appeared in the center of the stage. She was wearing gorgeous clothes that were not revealing but showed off her plump figure well. Her words and actions were elegant and proper, and at this moment she was giving her opening remarks.

Not long after, an object with a strange shape was brought onto the stage. When the woman lifted the red cloth, Bai Hao discovered that it was actually a sofa.

Bai Hao used his divine vision to look at it and found that it was surrounded by black fog. Apparently, some dark element spell that affected the brain nerves was taking effect inside, allowing the person sitting on it to fall asleep in his or her own fantasy.

But in the woman's mouth, its function turned out to be that it could allow people to travel into their own dreams. This sofa, which seemed useless and even a bit simple in Bai Hao's opinion, was actually bid for by a group of nobles and was finally sold at a high price.

The following items were all within Bai Hao's expectations. There were no special items that could attract Bai Hao's interest. Most of the people who were offering prices were Kalia and the officers beside Bai Hao.

As long as the bid was made from Bai Hao's observation room, the bid would always be successful in the end. This was not because Boll was secretly operating on the side, but because the Campbell family's financial resources could always make a bid higher than that of all the nobles on the field.

Since Bai Hao was not the only one bidding in the viewing room, but many people who were accompanying him were participating in the auction, so at tonight's auction, Bai Hao's viewing room seemed to be making frequent bids in the eyes of others, and most of the goods were successfully sold by him, which made many nobles and wealthy businessmen present have no bidding experience.

The floor-to-ceiling windows in the observation room could clearly see most of the auction venue, but people from outside could not see inside, which made the observation room where Bai Hao was located even more mysterious.

The auction was gradually coming to an end, but Bai Hao had never participated in the bidding and looked uninterested throughout, which made Boll a little anxious.

The woman on the stage, as usual, exaggerated the origins of the auction item that was about to be unveiled with the red cloth. When the woman lifted the red cloth, Bai Hao, who was originally in a trance, was immediately attracted by the auction item.

It was an ancient gold coin. The woman said it was once the currency of an ancient kingdom, and that this gold coin was considered a lucky coin by a king at that time.

The most special thing about this gold coin is that no matter how you throw it up, the side facing up will always have a number when it falls down naturally. The woman on the stage also tested it several times in public.

After detailed inspection using various means, no one found any magical interference or special design on the gold coin.

But these were not the things that attracted Bai Hao's attention, because Bai Hao suddenly discovered through the divine vision that the gold coins carried a special energy, and the light that this energy emitted made Bai Hao extremely familiar.

That was when Bai Hao had just come into this world. The light emitted by the Moon Goddess's true body appeared in his mind was extremely sacred yet desirable.

"The starting price of this gold coin is one hundred gold coins!" said the woman in gorgeous clothes elegantly.

"One thousand gold coins!" Bai Hao ordered an officer to bid loudly.

The huge auction hall suddenly became agitated after a brief calm. They had never seen such a bidding range before, and some wealthy businessmen who considered themselves shrewd seemed to smell something unusual.

Soon, the sounds of bidding began to appear in the auction hall.

"One thousand and fifty!"

"I'll give you 1,100!"

"Haha, one thousand three hundred!"

"Twenty thousand!" This time Bai Hao shouted directly.

The entire auction hall fell silent in an instant, so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

The woman in gorgeous clothes on the stage seemed to be shocked. She couldn't even remember the last time such a high bid appeared. No, it had never happened at all!

Then the lady in gorgeous clothes said happily: "Two, twenty thousand gold coins once, twenty thousand gold coins twice!"

"Deal! Congratulations, sir!" The woman in gorgeous clothes almost cried for joy, because she could get a commission of 1% of the amount of each auction. This time she actually got 200 gold coins directly, which was even twice the starting price. This was something she had never dared to imagine.

Boll on the side looked at Bai Hao in shock. He had originally used this gold coin to add interest and enrich the types of auction items, but he did not expect that Viscount Campbell would like it so much.

Bai Hao's inner excitement at this moment was no less than that of everyone else present.
