HP: Embrace the Darkness

Speaking of the box, Artes had to admire the abilities of Grindelwald's subordinates.

In such a short period of time, not only did they find out where the moonstone was sold, but they also got the invitation letter to box number three.

You know, the seats in this underground auction house are divided into private rooms and ordinary seats.

Except for major pure-blood families, few people can have separate boxes.

If an individual has a box, it proves that that person must be outstanding in some way.

And this one in Assis's hand is his personal box.

Looking at the box numbers, the boxes here are arranged from No. 1 to No. 20. The further the number goes, the more rare they are.

Aces looked at the invitation in his hand with emotion. You must know that the invitation from his family was only on the 6th.

After pushing open the box door, the waiter inside quickly came to greet him and took the invitation from Asseth to confirm his identity.

After confirming, he respectfully stepped aside, and then asked Asseth if he needed to explain.

Aces shook his head and refused, walked steadily into the box, sat down on the sofa, and skillfully took the preview album placed on the table and read it.

There are not many things in the preview album, and some auction items will not be placed in the preview album.

The auction item on the tenth page is the moonstone that Asseth needs.

Aces click to view details.

Judging from the picture, the purity of the moonstone this time seems to be higher than what Assis has seen before. Looking at the size, it is also a rare size.

Artes was very satisfied. If such a moonstone was used on Voldemort, he would definitely shed tears of gratitude.

After reading the auction items, Asseth put down the preview album in his hand and looked down at the table in front of him.

The table made of pure wood was filled with all kinds of exquisite snacks and fruits, which was dazzling.

But Asses only glanced at it and looked away without any thought of eating.

The waiter standing behind him had a flash of disappointment in his eyes.

Aces didn't have to look back to know his disappointment.

An underground auction house that hides evil and evil will certainly not target customers on the surface, but it can be said that there are endless small and dirty tricks, and you will fall into it if you are not careful.

Aces did nothing else. He unconsciously stroked his wand with his hand, closed his eyes and waited quietly for the auction to begin.

There were still thirty minutes left before the auction started. More and more guests were entering the venue, and the noisy sounds reached Ass's ears through the box door.

Aces frowned, but didn't say anything. It was not like he didn't know that this auction house was full of good things but was full of bad things.

But soon, Asseth was thankful for the soundproofing effect of the trash in the box.

The familiar black velvet voice is still clearly audible in the noisy environment.

Aces opened his eyes in surprise.

Professor Snape? How could he come?

Aces was confused at first, then thought about Snape's identity as the youngest Potions Master in the British wizarding world, and it suddenly became clear.

He withdrew his attention and closed his eyes again, his hearing becoming sharper as his vision disappeared.

He clearly heard Snape stop a few boxes away, and heard Snape coldly mocking the waiter who came up to him.

He didn't hear any sound until the box door was closed.

Half an hour passed quickly, and a woman with a hot figure and a good face slowly walked onto the auction stage.

Her charming voice came through the loudspeaker

"Hello everyone, I'm Debbie, your auctioneer."

"Welcome all guests to our auction, and I wish you all gain something from the auction."

After saying that, the woman even winked at the audience.

However, the woman also knew that the people who came here were all rushing to auction, so she didn't waste any more time. After she finished flirting with her, she started auctioning the first item.

The first auction item was ten bottles of radiant magic potion.

The woman raised the potion high for everyone to see clearly, and said in her charming voice:

"This is a perfect quality demulcent from a Potions Master."

Debbie's voice paused.

Then he took out the quality appraisal certificate, and through the magnifying props in the auction house, everyone saw the perfection marked on it.

Then she continued:

"As we all know, demulcents are easy to obtain, but perfect quality demulcents are rare, so the starting price is five thousand gold galleons."

"Start bidding now."

Because the distance was too far to observe the potion carefully, Asseth couldn't tell whether the maker of the potion was their dean, so he had no idea of ​​bidding.

He leaned quietly on the sofa and waited for the auction to end.

In the end, these ten bottles of demulcent were paid for by Box No. 10 for seventeen thousand gold galleons.

The first auction item is just a warm-up, and the subsequent auction items are the bulk.

Sure enough, starting from the second auction item, fierce bidding continued.

Aces was a bit bored. He never met anyone he was interested in until the appearance of auction item No. 10.

As an auctioneer, Debbie is very good at arousing the interest of her guests in the auction.

I saw her lifting the tray containing the moonstone in her hand, raising it to her chest, showing everyone the beauty of the moonstone.

Sure enough, with such a move, the ladies who originally liked moonstone became even more determined to win it.

"I believe everyone knows that the production of moonstone is extremely rare, and the purity and size of this moonstone are rare treasures."

"So, the starting price is ten million gold galleons, the bidding starts now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a lady dressed in luxurious clothes quickly said: "Eleven million."

This quote was like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, triggering another quote after another.

Aces was in the box, watching the price getting higher and higher with a cold eye, without any reaction.

He knew that the real competitors had not yet taken action.

Soon, the number of quotes below gradually decreased, and the price of moonstone stagnated at 23 million.

Aces sat upright, the real bidding began now.

The first person to break the silence was the box next to Artes. The waiter walked out of the balcony and loudly bid:

"The bid for box number four is twenty-five million."

Immediately afterwards, the waiter in another box quoted "30 million for Box No. 9."

This time, none of the boxes opened their mouths.

This price is already considered too high for moonstone.

Of course, this is without them knowing the true effect of moonstone.

Aces made a mental calculation, finally turned his gaze to the waiter, and ordered:

"The base price is 40 million, and the starting price is 2 million."

The waiter understood and excitedly walked to the balcony outside and shouted loudly: "The bid for box number three is 32 million."

The other box did not hesitate and then quoted:

"The offer for box number nine is thirty-five million."
