A different kind of mermaid in the future
Work related
"There's one over there, the biggest in town."
"Thank you." Lan Jun smiled gently, making Die Er blush suddenly.
After taking Lan Jun away, Die'er came back to her senses, and then took out her optical brain as if thinking of something: "Hey, that, Xue Ji, there is an A-level bounty hunter who just left and is going to Shengyue Clothing Store. Haven't you been looking for a powerful partner? He might be suitable for you..."
————————————————————————————————————————
After walking for about [-] minutes, Lan Jun came to the largest "Shengyue" clothing store in the City of Rebirth.
The shopping guide warmly greeted him: "Excuse me, what kind of clothes do you want to buy? We have finished products in our store and can quickly order them."
Lanjun recalled that the clothes worn by Ye Di and Zhu Yan were very distinctive, and seemed to be the exclusive clothing of the mermaid tribe, and asked the shopping guide, "Can I draw the pictures myself and hand them over to you? How fast?"
"Yes, customers can decide their own styles. Ordinary clothes can be finished in about [-] minutes. We have used the latest and fastest optical brain clothing making machines. Do customers want to draw pictures now?"
"Ah."
The shopping guide smiled: "The customer only needs to transfer the picture to the main optical computer in the store through his own optical computer."
Mr. Lan didn't talk too much, he pressed the light screen, and sketched out the general style of the clothes very quickly, and then carefully drew the details of the clothes and those meticulous totems on the other screen.
As if it has been drawn countless times, Lan Jun skillfully draws exquisite and unique patterns almost without thinking.
After only [-] minutes, Lan Jun put away the pen and sent the pattern: "For this style, one pattern can be made for one, and a total of [-] sets will be made. How long will it take?"
The shopping guide looked at it carefully: "Your pattern is too detailed, um... Please pick it up in one hour, and the money will be calculated when it arrives, but please pay a deposit of [-] credits first."
After Lanjun paid the deposit, half of the money given by the orphanage immediately went down. Lanjun looked at the space ring given by Yedi, and his mouth immediately became O-shaped: Oh my god...as expected of the two seniors...it's worth it. What a fortune...
There are only pure wealth items that can be exchanged for credit points piled up like a hill in the space, not to mention those treasures with other uses.
After registering and customizing, Lanjun was about to go out to redeem some credit points for backup, but when he walked to the door, he was bumped into his arms by someone, and when he calmed down, he saw that it was a mature metamorphosis woman with snow-white fox ears and tail.
The fox-eared woman stopped, but she didn't move away, but looked at Jun Lan carefully, who felt awkward under her gaze: "Er...that you...what's the matter?"
The fox-eared woman finally looked at Lan Jun's face again, and then stretched out her hand: "Xueji Weifusi."
Lanjun replied blankly: "Lanjun Haisel."
She said, "Are you the new A-rank bounty hunter? I have a mission and I want to cooperate with you."
Jun Lan was startled by the other party's straightforwardness, she quickly collected her thoughts, and Jun Lan calmed down: "Ah...Miss Weavers..."
"Just call me Xue Ji," she said.
"Oh, Xue Ji." Lan Jun changed his words: "Well, I always need to know what the task is, and what your ability is to make a decision."
Sister Xueji's aura was fully open: "Okay, then let's go to the coffee shop and sit down and chat."
"Okay." Lan Jun agreed: "However, I have to go to the Hunter Chamber of Commerce first, do you know where it is?"
Xue Ji smiled brightly: "I'll take you there."
As if infected by Xue Ji's cheerfulness, Lan Jun also smiled more and more gently: "Then thank you in advance."
Going to the Hunter Chamber of Commerce to exchange those gems for a large amount of credits, Lan Jun and Xue Ji sat in the cafe.
Xue Ji is a very beautiful woman, she looks older than Lan Jun, mature and beautiful, but Lan Jun can feel the power in her, this beautiful woman is not weak.
"Actually, I have been looking for partners for a long time, but those people's abilities are too weak to complete the task I want to take." Xue Ji looked at the handsome young man in front of her: "But if it is an A-level reward Gold Hunter, even if he is just a rookie without any experience, I have the confidence to complete the task."
Lan Jun was a little curious: "What... do you want to take on the mission?"
Xue Ji pressed the light screen to call up the task information: "Look."
Lan Jun looked at the task, the name of the task was very simple "Looking for the Mermaid's Tears".
Lan Jun was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly read on.
Mission Name: Find the Tears of the Mermaid
Mission requirement: Find a mermaid tear that is a holy medicine for healing
Mission Delivery Location: Saint Teas Imperial City - Bounty Hunter Registry
Task reward: [-] credits, [-] high-purity ice crystal
Task level: S
With a very clear and concise description, Mr. Lan was a little puzzled: "This is just a search...why did it become an S-level task?"
Xue Ji explained to him: "Because what the employer wants are the tears of the mermaid, and the tears of the mermaid are quite rare treasures, and almost all of them are preserved by the royal family with mermaid blood, and ordinary people can't even see them. If we want To find the tears of the mermaid, it is necessary to deal with the royal family. The royal family will not hand over the tears of the mermaid easily, and will definitely put forward conditions that are quite difficult to achieve." After a pause, Xue Ji continued: "Actually, when this task was first announced, it was only B-level, but dozens of hunters and mercenary groups who accepted the mission failed and returned, and the level of this mission was gradually raised to S-level."
Lan Jun asked again: "Then why do you have to do this task?"
Xue Ji sighed: "I am the Snow Fox of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. If I want to advance, I must need high-purity ice and snow crystals, but high-purity crystals are very rare. I have been searching for several years but have not found them. Only then did I realize that the reward for this mission is exactly what I desperately need."
"What level are you now?"
"B-level, but if it is advanced, it may become A." Xue Ji smiled: "Although I am a woman, the name 'Linghu Xueji' still has a certain influence in the bounty mission world."
Lan Jun had an idea.
Now I should have a general goal, and I can't live aimlessly. Since I am a mermaid, why not follow the traces of my predecessors?To learn about all kinds of mermaids that my predecessors didn't tell me, and this mission now is a good opportunity.
Yedi has three lovers, all of them are kings, and the children he gave birth to for his lovers are naturally the current royal family... Lan Jun is a little tempted, and wants to see the descendants of the senior mermaids, and learn about Yedi and the others' past.
Lan Jun nodded: "Okay, I agree to this cooperation."
Xue Ji smiled: "Thank you and welcome, my future partner."
Now, the world-famous "Mermaid Saint Lan Jun" and the envoy of the Saint "Linghu Xueji" are just a fledgling innocent boy and an ordinary woman struggling to advance.
At this time, Lan Jun and Xue Ji didn't know what drastic changes this mission would bring to their lives, and they didn't even know that in the future, each other would become close friends who shared life and death with each other, and they would never have imagined that , my name will be written into history and passed down forever...
Let's go, Vanna City
Chapter Four
Let's go, Vanna City
After drinking some drinks in the cafe, Lan Jun saw that almost an hour had passed: "Xue Ji, I ordered a few sets of clothes, it's time to pick them up now, do you want to come together?"
Xue Ji got up when she heard the words: "Well, after taking out the clothes and preparing, I think we can go on the road."
The two came to the "Shengyue" clothing store, and the shopping guide lady just received them warmly: "Hello, Mr. Hessel? Your clothes are ready, I'll go get them, please wait a moment." After checking the customized information with Lan Jun's identification card, the shopping guide walked to the store.
After a while, the shopping guide came to them with two large packages, and she handed the packages to Lan Jun: "Here, please check to see if you are satisfied."
Lan Jun looked at the inside and outside of the [-] sets of clothes, and found that the patterns and patterns were well repaired, so she nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, how much is the total?"
The shopping guide quoted the price, and Lanjun swiped his credit card and asked, "Can I borrow the fitting room?"
"Please." The shopping guide lady smiled.
Lan Jun walked into the fitting room, picked out a set in the bag to change into, and put the rest into the space ring.
Seeing Lan Jun walking out, Xue Ji was a little dazed.
Lan Jun's transformed appearance is not very outstanding, at best he is just a handsome and ordinary boy.But the person in front of him is wearing a flowing dress. There are no buttons in the whole dress, but the waist is tied up with a belt embroidered with water blue waves. The hem reaches down to the calf. The neckline and cuffs of the clothes are embroidered with the same water-blue wave pattern as the belt, and the white fabric of the clothes is embroidered with silver threads that are similar to white, with lively fishes, which can only be seen when you look closely. It is embroidered with aqua blue sea pattern, the whole dress is elegant and elegant, which makes Lan Jun's aqua blue hair and eyes all the more attractive, and makes his whole personality look dusty and fresh.
Lan Jun stepped forward: "Xue Ji, why are you in a daze?"
Xue Ji came back to her senses, and tapped Mr. Lan reproachfully: "Really, why did you immediately become a gentleman when you put on this dress? See how you are fascinated by those little girls..."
Lan Jun smiled embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, this is our traditional costume."
Xue Ji thought Lan Jun was talking about the traditional costumes of the Holy Light Jiao clan, so she didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, the Holy Light Jiao clan is rare.
The two bought some more equipment for going out. Seeing that Mr. Lan didn't have self-defense weapons, Xue Ji dragged him to a weapon shop.
These days, although the spirit changers are very powerful, to put it bluntly, when the strength is exhausted and the end of the road, a handy weapon can still save lives.
Because the government forbids the sale of guns and weapons with high destructive power, it is difficult to find them even on the black market, so the weapons shop is full of cold weapons and small guns for self-defense.
Xue Ji did a maintenance and performance test for her two guns - Xue Yan, while Lan Jun was on the sidelines selecting the desired weapon.
In memory, Yedi's usual weapon is a pistol that has been with him since he was in the army. After he became a mermaid, because the ammunition of the gun can be changed into various required powers at will, such as various elemental bullets, So Yedi's weapon has never changed.Zhu Yan prefers cold weapons, and uses a long knife. Zhu Yan's sword technique was once invincible in the world.
But I... don't want to follow the old path of my predecessors. What he wants is a weapon that really suits and belongs to him.
Looking carefully, he suddenly noticed a green square box full of dust beside him. He took the dust and opened it curiously. Inside the box was a white flute engraved with blue and silver patterns. An ancient style, a hollow tube of unknown material, with a row of round holes on it.
The boss saw that Mr. Lan was a little puzzled, so he stepped forward and explained: "A spiritual changer sold this to us a long time ago. I just saw that it looks very delicate and looks like it came from everyone, so I bought it. Who knows it will never be sold again."
"Boss, do you know what material this is?"
The boss shook his head: "I'm not sure about that. Its material is warm and moist like jade, but it's not jade. However, I tested its hardness out of curiosity, and it turned out to be harder than diamond, and its brittleness is also very low, so It won't break easily."
Lan Jun stroked the flute, and a thought gradually became clear in his mind.
Everyone knows that mermaids have the strongest ability to control the water element, but there is another ability that mermaids are invincible in the world, and that is the control of sound.
All mermaids are born musicians. If the voice of a mermaid is not hidden, it has the ability to confuse people. If a mermaid sings with all its heart, all creatures and even elements that hear the song will be lost.Not to mention the beauty of the mermaid's own voice, the mermaid's ability to control the sound alone is enough to make the siren clan who use sound waves to defeat the enemy, and the sound waves are completely under the command of the mermaid...
That being the case, why not use sound as a weapon?
With this in mind, Lan Jun decided to buy the flute: "Boss, I bought it, how much is it?"
The boss was overjoyed, thinking that it was finally sold, so he didn't want a high price: "I bought it for [-] credits, so I didn't want more. How about selling it to you for [-] credits?"
This price is really cheap, Lan Jun swiped the card, asked the boss for a wet wipe to wipe the box clean, and then wiped the flute carefully, on the body of the flute, Lan Jun found two small ancient Chinese characters - voiceless.Presumably this is the name of the flute, Lan Jun tried to play a few notes, and felt that the name was worthy of the name.
Although Xue Ji was surprised that Jun Lan chose such a weapon, she didn't say anything because she didn't know his ability.
Xue Ji brought Lanjun to the apron in the west of the city, walked to a small but stylish aircraft, and said with a little pride: "Look, this is my personal aircraft——Ice Snow, we need to take it to the Imperial Palace. city."
Xue Ji and Lan Jun sat on it, and Xue Ji started the Ice Snow to fly high into the sky: "The imperial city is too far away from here, it is already afternoon, today I will fly to Fanna City to rest, and tomorrow I will depart from Fanna City to the Imperial City. "
Along the way, you can enjoy the charming scenery of the land from a high altitude. Because it is a long-distance flight, the Ice and Snow walks in the air passage on the highest floor, and the clouds drift by. Sometimes you can see a few flying psykers passing by the aircraft. of skimming.
"It feels great to fly, isn't it?" Xue Ji looked at Lan Jun's happy expression and smiled, "I really like the feeling of flying in the sky. I was disappointed when I became a psychic, but I couldn't become a flying race. That's why I spent a lot of money to buy a private flying machine."
Lan Jun agrees with Xue Ji's point of view, the feeling of flying is indeed very good, so human beings have never given up the dream of flying into the sky.
Traveling through the snow-white flowing clouds, Lan Jun's eyelids gradually became heavy.Too many things happened today. In the early morning, I was just an ordinary human being. In the evening, I became the third mermaid in [-] years. The mysterious guide disappeared after helping me... To be able to experience so many things in one day Things are really a test of people's endurance.
When Lord Lan woke up, the sky outside the aircraft was already dark, and the God of Darkness replaced the God of Light to dominate the world.
Seeing Lan Jun waking up, Xue Ji said: "I woke up in time, I'm already descending, we've arrived at Fanna City."
Vanna City is the largest city in the Santias Empire except the imperial city of Santias, and it is also the city with the most developed economy and commerce in the empire. It is known as the "City of Wealth".
The people in Vanna City are all rich. Although they can't be said to be rich, they can be considered to be rich in life.The affluence of material life makes the leisure life of the people in this city rich and colorful. There are many entertainment facilities and places on the street, and various parades and celebrations are often held in the city.
Lan Jun and Xue Ji came to a hotel, and the owner of the hotel warmly received them.The two asked for two single rooms, settled their luggage, and inquired about a small but first-class restaurant from the hotel owner, and the two went to have dinner.
Perhaps because of becoming a mermaid, the original Lanjun loved meat, but now he prefers all kinds of vegetables and fruits, he doesn't like meat very much, and he is even more insensitive to fish—you know the current Lanjun When he sees a fish's tail, he thinks of his own tail, and loses his appetite no matter how good he is, but he still loves to eat shrimp and all kinds of shellfish.
While eating, suddenly there was an exclamation from the side: "What? Mermaid tears?"
The two were startled, and couldn't help but slow down their eating speed and looked aside.
Beside them are two ordinary human men who seem to be local residents.
One of them flaunted: "Of course, my relatives work in the auction house. The news is absolutely true."
Another man who exclaimed just now said: "Oh my god... there will be Mermaid Tears, so this is tomorrow's auction?"
"That's right, tomorrow is the auction day..."
Xue Ji couldn't sit still anymore, she got up and went up to talk to her: "Excuse me, where is the auction you are talking about... held?"
Seeing that Xue Ji was young and beautiful, the two were naturally happy to share her worries: "The auction at the 'Lanny' auction center will be held at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning. There are many treasures in the auction."
"Thank you both." Xue Ji showed a touching smile, which fascinated the two of them.
Xue Ji and Lan Jun quickly finished their dinner and settled the bill, and were going back to the hotel to discuss the news they had just received.
"Why don't you take a look?" Jun Lan suggested, "I'm very interested in this news, I'd rather believe it or not, anyway, it won't take long."
Xue Ji also agreed: "Yes, if the auction is really Mermaid Tears, we can save a lot of effort."
"But..." Xue Ji murmured again: "This is too lucky... We were just looking for Mermaid Tears, and there was news about Mermaid Tears."
Hearing this, Jun Lan was startled, but then he suppressed the panic: No...it is impossible for someone to know his identity, maybe this is really a coincidence...
But at that time, Lord Lan didn't know that coincidences were inevitable, and when Lord Lan knew all the truth, it was too late...
Vanner Auction
Chapter Six
Vanner Auction
"I found out." The next morning, when Lan Jun was having breakfast on the first floor of the hotel, Xue Ji rushed to Lan Jun with two chips in her hand.
Lan Jun wiped her mouth and looked up: "About the auction?"
"Yeah." Xue Ji nodded and sat down, picked up the juice on the table and drank it all in one go: "I'm so exhausted, I went out early in the morning to inquire about news, how are you, and have a leisurely breakfast by yourself."
Lan Jun smiled, with a flattering expression: "That's because I fully trust Xue Ji in your ability."
Obviously these words put Xue Ji in a good mood, she nodded proudly: "That's true."
"Then," Lan Jun hurriedly asked about the matter, "What did you find out?"
The sandwich in Xue Ji's eyes: "It's like this, the timing of our coming here is really a coincidence, every year on the first Sunday of June, it is the day when the local, and of course the largest auction in the country is held. The name of the meeting is named after the name of the city, 'Vanna'. The Vanna Auction will be held at [-] o'clock this morning. I just visited a local friend and confirmed the news that Mermaid Tears will appear. There are two tickets, they are VIP seats~"
"It seems that this friend of yours, Xue Ji, is not a simple person." According to Jun Lan's memory, the VIP tickets for the Fanner Auction cannot be obtained with money.
Xue Ji waved her hand: "It's okay, who told me that he owed me a favor in the mission." He gave a chip to Jun Lan: "Here, this is the admission certificate, just put it into the optical brain gone."
Lanjun looked at the chip carefully.As expected of a large auction, this chip is golden in color, very small and exquisite, with the logo of the auction house and the word VIP engraved on it.
Putting the chip into the watch-shaped personal optical brain, Jun Lan suddenly thought of a question: "By the way, have you asked your friend, do you know who took out that mermaid tear?"
"I asked. But he didn't know. It seems that the seller is very mysterious, and no one in the city has found out his identity."
Maybe the other party just got the Mermaid's Tears by chance and was eager to spend the money, so they put it up for auction.Thinking of this, Lan Jun suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
At [-]:[-] in the morning, Lan Jun and Xue Ji came to the "Lanny" auction center, and there was a long queue in front of the auction house, all of them came from all over to participate in the auction.Because they were holding VIP tickets, the staff respectfully invited them to the separate box on the second floor.
There are two comfortable sofas in the box, drinks and exquisite pastries are placed on the coffee table, the whole picture of the auction platform can be seen from the sofa, and four large light screens are installed directly in front of the seats, so that guests can see more carefully Observing the details of the lot on stage.Each box is semi-open, the people downstairs cannot see the people in the box upstairs, but the guests between the boxes can see each other.
"This is a status symbol." Xue Ji teased.
Although Mr. Lan laughed it off, he knew that Xue Ji's words were not wrong at all. It was just an admission ticket to the auction, which clearly distinguished the powerful and nobles with status from ordinary civilians.
Sitting generously on the sofa, the waiters in each box closed the door so that no one would disturb them.
While waiting for the auction to start, Lanjun browsed the information on the optical network when he had nothing to do.
The homepage is about the first "gene re-optimization" operation this year. In this year's operation, about [-]% of the children became metamorphosis, which is considered a very high probability, and there are many rare races among them .But this also makes people worry, because rare races are often very powerful, and relatively, their fertility is very low, so the birth rate of this group of children will be very low.
Another piece of news is that the patriarch of the Eastern Dragon Clan, who had been in seclusion for [-] years, finally left the seclusion, and took over the Blood Coral Forest from the elders, prohibiting others from entering...
While watching, the surrounding lights dimmed, the host stepped up to the front desk, and the auction officially started.
"Welcome everyone to the annual Fanna Auction!" The host's words were full of passion, with a joyful expression on his face: "This auction is amazing, there are many people who are rare to see on weekdays, and some people even live in their lifetime. Treasures that have never been seen before appear! Let’s stop gossip and let’s officially enter the auction!”
The host walked aside: "The first lot is a defensive ring made of Ziqiyang's precious purple bloodstone - Ziyao, wearing it can block intermediate damage for you, and can also offset 20.00% High-level damage! And this ring is crystal clear and exquisitely carved, it is definitely the best gift for your loved one! The starting price is [-] credits!"
For such a beautiful and eye-catching defense ring, everyone who loves beauties is obviously interested, and the price keeps going up again and again, until finally it is bought by a pretty cat girl for [-] credits.
Lan Jun smacked his lips a little unbearably: "Just such a thing can be sold for [-] credits, so why can't the mermaid tears be sold at a sky-high price?"
It's not that this ring is bad, but it's just that the price is obviously a bit high.
Xue Ji lazily leaned on the back of the sofa: "It's too normal. This ring looks good in the first place, and after being touted like that by the host, it would be a rare thing not to sell it at such a price."
Next, a few more beautiful but not top-quality items were bought, and then, it really entered the theme.
"Okay." The host cleared his throat: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's pay attention to the next lot! Below is an extremely rare precious gem—Shui Miaojing!"
There was an uproar in the audience, Shui Miaojing is a kind of extremely precious gemstone produced around Liansheng Island, but since Liansheng Island became a "mermaid holy land", mining of this kind of gemstone has been strictly prohibited.
Seeing everyone's discussion, the host had to increase the volume: "Everyone, please be quiet! Don't be too surprised. We have investigated that this piece of water crystal was mined before Liansheng Island became a holy place. The owner treasured it and passed it on to future generations, and now the owner’s descendants urgently need money, so they reluctantly auction it off.”
The sound from the audience stopped, and the water crystals on the stage were very gorgeous. The whole body of water blue gemstones refracted different light beams from dark blue to silver white from different angles, which looked dazzling and beautiful.
And Shui Miaojing itself is also a high-grade material for making space devices and defensive jewelry, so people want to bid one after another.
Looking at Shui Miaojing on the screen, Lan Jun cheered up, his water blue eyes were shining brightly.
Yes, water crystals are indeed a precious raw material for making utensils, but for mermaids, water crystals are the holy medicine for life!
As long as the water crystal is worn on the mermaid, the mermaid will not die even if she is fatally injured. The existence of the water crystal will keep the mermaid alive, so that the mermaid has time to find blood coral to save herself.
I thought I had no chance with Shui Miaojing... but I didn't expect to meet her here, is it really a lucky time?
Xue Ji noticed Lan Jun's excited look: "Why, are you interested in this?"
Lan Jun nodded, and when the other people had almost shouted the price, he directly added another [-] credits to the price: "[-]!"
The voice was very pleasant, and Mr. Lan didn't pay attention to cover it up because he was so excited. He didn't realize that something was wrong until he yelled out. He looked around and found that people were looking at the spar and didn't pay attention, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
But what he didn't expect was that it was this sentence that made a person pay more attention to him, and thus he would have his "magnificent" life in the future...
After the host shouted the price three times in a row, he announced the deal.
Only then did Lan Jun relax, [-] credits are nothing, compared to his own life, this price is too cheap!
After a while, the door of the box was knocked, the waiter opened the door, two staff members came in, bowed down respectfully to ask Lan Jun to pay, and then handed the Shui Miaojing packed in a box to Lan Jun.
After the two left, Lan Jun played with the egg-sized water crystal, and decided to find a craftsman to make it into a ring and a drop-shaped pendant.
Just thinking about it, Lan Jun called the waiter: "Can you process gems here?"
The waiter replied: "Yes, but a processing fee is required."
"It's no problem." Lan Jun said, and handed the box to the waiter: "Go, find your best craftsman to make it into a ring and a pendant." Then he quickly drew a sketch and passed it to the waiter: "Just As it stands, the dimensions are already written on it."
"Yes." The waiter bowed: "I will fetch it for you before the auction ends."
Lan Jun looked at the back of the waiter, not at all worried that Shui Miaojing would be dropped or snatched away, after all, "Lanny" has the reputation for many years, besides, he can undertake the largest auction in the country, without two brushes. .
Looking back at the auction site, none of the subsequent auction items aroused Mr. Lan's great interest, but Xue Ji took a notebook of the forbidden technique of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, presumably she wanted to learn from it.
One lot after another was auctioned off, and finally the finale came on stage.
The host was very excited again: "I think everyone knows the story of mermaids. The mermaids who have transformed themselves are the darlings of heaven. They are beautiful, noble, powerful, and pure..."
Lan Jun 囧 and said nothing: beauty is okay...but this will make people feel exaggerated...
Contrary to his expectations, no one objected to such a description, from which we can see how much people yearn for and respect mermaids.
"...Their scales, hair, blood... are all priceless treasures, and today, here, you will see the mermaid tears with your own eyes!"
There was a burst of cheers from the audience, and the host didn't talk too much, and waved for the staff to take the lot.
The staff members came out from the backstage, held their breath, and carefully held an exquisite square box with silver patterns on a black background with both hands, placed it on the booth very gently, and opened the lid.
Inside the box was a black crystal the size of a soybean, with a jet black body exuding a warm luster.
Lan Jun recognized Ye Di's tears at a glance, each mermaid's tears will turn into different crystals, Ye Di's is Moyu, Zhu Yan's is blood pearls, as for his own... I'm sorry, He hasn't shed tears so far, so he doesn't know.
Xue Ji became very excited: "This is the Mermaid's Tears! It's really beautiful!"
Lan Jun nodded: Indeed, such a beautiful luster can only be found in mermaid tears...
Observing the tears carefully, Mr. Lan suddenly froze for a moment: This is... the natal pattern? !
Only Lord Lan could see that the center of this teardrop was Yedi's natal pattern——Wang pattern.
The lines were clearly reflected in the middle of the tears, Lan Jun would never admit his mistake.
There are two types of Mermaid Tears.
When a mermaid sheds tears for others, there is no natal pattern in the center of the crystallization of tears. Such mermaid tears are holy medicine treasures, which can even be used together with mermaid blood to bring back to life ordinary humans who died within [-] hours or spiritual transformations who died within [-] hours .
But if the mermaid sheds tears for herself, there will be natal lines in the crystallization of tears that only mermaids can see. Such mermaid tears are still a holy medicine for mermaids, but for others it is a deadly poison that cannot be cured .
Although Lan Jun was very curious why such a proud and powerful Ye Di would shed tears for him, but he always felt that he had overlooked something...
"This kind of crystallization is the holy medicine for healing!" Xue Ji exclaimed.
Xue Ji's words suddenly reminded Mr. Lan, and Mr. Lan quickly logged into the optical network to call out the details of the task he received this time:
Mission Name: Find the Tears of the Mermaid
Mission requirement: Find a mermaid tear that is a holy medicine for healing
Mission Delivery Location: Saint Teas Imperial City - Bounty Hunter Registry
Task reward: [-] credits, [-] high-purity ice crystal
Task level: S
The words "mermaid's tears, the holy medicine for healing" came into his eyes clearly.
Ordinary people... only know that mermaid tears are the holy medicine for healing, and only mermaid people know the difference between mermaid tears... Why, this client specifically noted this point?
Is it because he knows the mermaid tribe very well or...
Lan Jun's mind became more and more chaotic, but there was only one idea that was clearest: the soldiers came to cover up the water and the soil, now that he has reached this point, it is useless to retreat, it is better to find out all this.
Lan Jun stopped Xue Ji from wanting to take pictures of Mermaid Tears, and explained: "Such Mermaid Tears must be very expensive, besides, I want to go to the Imperial City to have a look."
Seeing that the price of Mermaid Tears doubled and soared upwards, Xue Ji also accepted Lan Jun's proposal.
After a long time, Mr. Lan still doesn't know whether his original actions were correct, but he knows that if he does it all over again, he will still choose to come to the imperial city. Maybe this is his destiny...
advance to the imperial city
Chapter Six
advance to the imperial city
Before the auction ended, the waiter brought the processed Shui Miaojing.Lan Jun took the ring and put it on the little finger of his right hand, then took out a thin silver chain from the interspatial ring, passed it through the hanging hole of the drop-shaped pendant, and put it on his head. Lan Jun's mermaid's soul pattern, matched with Lan Jun's blue hair, is very eye-catching.
Originally, this kind of attire was indeed a bit outstanding, but in view of the fact that in today's society, the stronger and the higher the status of the person, the more distinctive the attire, this phenomenon seems to have become an unspoken rule for everyone.
And the reason Lan Jun dresses up like this is not only to drive away some unqualified harassers by dressing up, but also the energy emitted by Shui Miaojing can cover his whole body and better protect himself.
Xue Ji shrugged: "You, you are obviously a boy, why do you like to dress up so much..."
Lan Jun smiled without saying a word, just turned around and handed it to the waiter for consumption, and said, "It's time to go, we're in a hurry."
Xue Ji and Lan Jun took their luggage and went to the apron to board the Bingxue and set off again.
Time passed by every minute and every second, the situation in the clouds has been very stable, Xue Ji drove very relaxed and leisurely, and Mrs. Lan began to drowsy again under the bright and warm sunlight.
Suddenly, Xue Ji exclaimed: "Oh my God!"
Lan Jun was startled awake, and quickly opened his eyes to look forward, and then his face turned pale with shock.
The clouds in front spiraled at a high speed, and attacked the Bingxue at an extremely fast speed!
"Is it too late to escape?"
Xue Ji clenched the joystick and pulled it aside: "I will do my best!"
Lan Jun suddenly felt the spaceship shake violently, and then deflected to the left.However, the speed of the spiral cloud was unimaginably fast, and the spacecraft narrowly missed the cloud, but the balance instrument on the right
"Thank you." Lan Jun smiled gently, making Die Er blush suddenly.
After taking Lan Jun away, Die'er came back to her senses, and then took out her optical brain as if thinking of something: "Hey, that, Xue Ji, there is an A-level bounty hunter who just left and is going to Shengyue Clothing Store. Haven't you been looking for a powerful partner? He might be suitable for you..."
————————————————————————————————————————
After walking for about [-] minutes, Lan Jun came to the largest "Shengyue" clothing store in the City of Rebirth.
The shopping guide warmly greeted him: "Excuse me, what kind of clothes do you want to buy? We have finished products in our store and can quickly order them."
Lanjun recalled that the clothes worn by Ye Di and Zhu Yan were very distinctive, and seemed to be the exclusive clothing of the mermaid tribe, and asked the shopping guide, "Can I draw the pictures myself and hand them over to you? How fast?"
"Yes, customers can decide their own styles. Ordinary clothes can be finished in about [-] minutes. We have used the latest and fastest optical brain clothing making machines. Do customers want to draw pictures now?"
"Ah."
The shopping guide smiled: "The customer only needs to transfer the picture to the main optical computer in the store through his own optical computer."
Mr. Lan didn't talk too much, he pressed the light screen, and sketched out the general style of the clothes very quickly, and then carefully drew the details of the clothes and those meticulous totems on the other screen.
As if it has been drawn countless times, Lan Jun skillfully draws exquisite and unique patterns almost without thinking.
After only [-] minutes, Lan Jun put away the pen and sent the pattern: "For this style, one pattern can be made for one, and a total of [-] sets will be made. How long will it take?"
The shopping guide looked at it carefully: "Your pattern is too detailed, um... Please pick it up in one hour, and the money will be calculated when it arrives, but please pay a deposit of [-] credits first."
After Lanjun paid the deposit, half of the money given by the orphanage immediately went down. Lanjun looked at the space ring given by Yedi, and his mouth immediately became O-shaped: Oh my god...as expected of the two seniors...it's worth it. What a fortune...
There are only pure wealth items that can be exchanged for credit points piled up like a hill in the space, not to mention those treasures with other uses.
After registering and customizing, Lanjun was about to go out to redeem some credit points for backup, but when he walked to the door, he was bumped into his arms by someone, and when he calmed down, he saw that it was a mature metamorphosis woman with snow-white fox ears and tail.
The fox-eared woman stopped, but she didn't move away, but looked at Jun Lan carefully, who felt awkward under her gaze: "Er...that you...what's the matter?"
The fox-eared woman finally looked at Lan Jun's face again, and then stretched out her hand: "Xueji Weifusi."
Lanjun replied blankly: "Lanjun Haisel."
She said, "Are you the new A-rank bounty hunter? I have a mission and I want to cooperate with you."
Jun Lan was startled by the other party's straightforwardness, she quickly collected her thoughts, and Jun Lan calmed down: "Ah...Miss Weavers..."
"Just call me Xue Ji," she said.
"Oh, Xue Ji." Lan Jun changed his words: "Well, I always need to know what the task is, and what your ability is to make a decision."
Sister Xueji's aura was fully open: "Okay, then let's go to the coffee shop and sit down and chat."
"Okay." Lan Jun agreed: "However, I have to go to the Hunter Chamber of Commerce first, do you know where it is?"
Xue Ji smiled brightly: "I'll take you there."
As if infected by Xue Ji's cheerfulness, Lan Jun also smiled more and more gently: "Then thank you in advance."
Going to the Hunter Chamber of Commerce to exchange those gems for a large amount of credits, Lan Jun and Xue Ji sat in the cafe.
Xue Ji is a very beautiful woman, she looks older than Lan Jun, mature and beautiful, but Lan Jun can feel the power in her, this beautiful woman is not weak.
"Actually, I have been looking for partners for a long time, but those people's abilities are too weak to complete the task I want to take." Xue Ji looked at the handsome young man in front of her: "But if it is an A-level reward Gold Hunter, even if he is just a rookie without any experience, I have the confidence to complete the task."
Lan Jun was a little curious: "What... do you want to take on the mission?"
Xue Ji pressed the light screen to call up the task information: "Look."
Lan Jun looked at the task, the name of the task was very simple "Looking for the Mermaid's Tears".
Lan Jun was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly read on.
Mission Name: Find the Tears of the Mermaid
Mission requirement: Find a mermaid tear that is a holy medicine for healing
Mission Delivery Location: Saint Teas Imperial City - Bounty Hunter Registry
Task reward: [-] credits, [-] high-purity ice crystal
Task level: S
With a very clear and concise description, Mr. Lan was a little puzzled: "This is just a search...why did it become an S-level task?"
Xue Ji explained to him: "Because what the employer wants are the tears of the mermaid, and the tears of the mermaid are quite rare treasures, and almost all of them are preserved by the royal family with mermaid blood, and ordinary people can't even see them. If we want To find the tears of the mermaid, it is necessary to deal with the royal family. The royal family will not hand over the tears of the mermaid easily, and will definitely put forward conditions that are quite difficult to achieve." After a pause, Xue Ji continued: "Actually, when this task was first announced, it was only B-level, but dozens of hunters and mercenary groups who accepted the mission failed and returned, and the level of this mission was gradually raised to S-level."
Lan Jun asked again: "Then why do you have to do this task?"
Xue Ji sighed: "I am the Snow Fox of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan. If I want to advance, I must need high-purity ice and snow crystals, but high-purity crystals are very rare. I have been searching for several years but have not found them. Only then did I realize that the reward for this mission is exactly what I desperately need."
"What level are you now?"
"B-level, but if it is advanced, it may become A." Xue Ji smiled: "Although I am a woman, the name 'Linghu Xueji' still has a certain influence in the bounty mission world."
Lan Jun had an idea.
Now I should have a general goal, and I can't live aimlessly. Since I am a mermaid, why not follow the traces of my predecessors?To learn about all kinds of mermaids that my predecessors didn't tell me, and this mission now is a good opportunity.
Yedi has three lovers, all of them are kings, and the children he gave birth to for his lovers are naturally the current royal family... Lan Jun is a little tempted, and wants to see the descendants of the senior mermaids, and learn about Yedi and the others' past.
Lan Jun nodded: "Okay, I agree to this cooperation."
Xue Ji smiled: "Thank you and welcome, my future partner."
Now, the world-famous "Mermaid Saint Lan Jun" and the envoy of the Saint "Linghu Xueji" are just a fledgling innocent boy and an ordinary woman struggling to advance.
At this time, Lan Jun and Xue Ji didn't know what drastic changes this mission would bring to their lives, and they didn't even know that in the future, each other would become close friends who shared life and death with each other, and they would never have imagined that , my name will be written into history and passed down forever...
Let's go, Vanna City
Chapter Four
Let's go, Vanna City
After drinking some drinks in the cafe, Lan Jun saw that almost an hour had passed: "Xue Ji, I ordered a few sets of clothes, it's time to pick them up now, do you want to come together?"
Xue Ji got up when she heard the words: "Well, after taking out the clothes and preparing, I think we can go on the road."
The two came to the "Shengyue" clothing store, and the shopping guide lady just received them warmly: "Hello, Mr. Hessel? Your clothes are ready, I'll go get them, please wait a moment." After checking the customized information with Lan Jun's identification card, the shopping guide walked to the store.
After a while, the shopping guide came to them with two large packages, and she handed the packages to Lan Jun: "Here, please check to see if you are satisfied."
Lan Jun looked at the inside and outside of the [-] sets of clothes, and found that the patterns and patterns were well repaired, so she nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, how much is the total?"
The shopping guide quoted the price, and Lanjun swiped his credit card and asked, "Can I borrow the fitting room?"
"Please." The shopping guide lady smiled.
Lan Jun walked into the fitting room, picked out a set in the bag to change into, and put the rest into the space ring.
Seeing Lan Jun walking out, Xue Ji was a little dazed.
Lan Jun's transformed appearance is not very outstanding, at best he is just a handsome and ordinary boy.But the person in front of him is wearing a flowing dress. There are no buttons in the whole dress, but the waist is tied up with a belt embroidered with water blue waves. The hem reaches down to the calf. The neckline and cuffs of the clothes are embroidered with the same water-blue wave pattern as the belt, and the white fabric of the clothes is embroidered with silver threads that are similar to white, with lively fishes, which can only be seen when you look closely. It is embroidered with aqua blue sea pattern, the whole dress is elegant and elegant, which makes Lan Jun's aqua blue hair and eyes all the more attractive, and makes his whole personality look dusty and fresh.
Lan Jun stepped forward: "Xue Ji, why are you in a daze?"
Xue Ji came back to her senses, and tapped Mr. Lan reproachfully: "Really, why did you immediately become a gentleman when you put on this dress? See how you are fascinated by those little girls..."
Lan Jun smiled embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, this is our traditional costume."
Xue Ji thought Lan Jun was talking about the traditional costumes of the Holy Light Jiao clan, so she didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, the Holy Light Jiao clan is rare.
The two bought some more equipment for going out. Seeing that Mr. Lan didn't have self-defense weapons, Xue Ji dragged him to a weapon shop.
These days, although the spirit changers are very powerful, to put it bluntly, when the strength is exhausted and the end of the road, a handy weapon can still save lives.
Because the government forbids the sale of guns and weapons with high destructive power, it is difficult to find them even on the black market, so the weapons shop is full of cold weapons and small guns for self-defense.
Xue Ji did a maintenance and performance test for her two guns - Xue Yan, while Lan Jun was on the sidelines selecting the desired weapon.
In memory, Yedi's usual weapon is a pistol that has been with him since he was in the army. After he became a mermaid, because the ammunition of the gun can be changed into various required powers at will, such as various elemental bullets, So Yedi's weapon has never changed.Zhu Yan prefers cold weapons, and uses a long knife. Zhu Yan's sword technique was once invincible in the world.
But I... don't want to follow the old path of my predecessors. What he wants is a weapon that really suits and belongs to him.
Looking carefully, he suddenly noticed a green square box full of dust beside him. He took the dust and opened it curiously. Inside the box was a white flute engraved with blue and silver patterns. An ancient style, a hollow tube of unknown material, with a row of round holes on it.
The boss saw that Mr. Lan was a little puzzled, so he stepped forward and explained: "A spiritual changer sold this to us a long time ago. I just saw that it looks very delicate and looks like it came from everyone, so I bought it. Who knows it will never be sold again."
"Boss, do you know what material this is?"
The boss shook his head: "I'm not sure about that. Its material is warm and moist like jade, but it's not jade. However, I tested its hardness out of curiosity, and it turned out to be harder than diamond, and its brittleness is also very low, so It won't break easily."
Lan Jun stroked the flute, and a thought gradually became clear in his mind.
Everyone knows that mermaids have the strongest ability to control the water element, but there is another ability that mermaids are invincible in the world, and that is the control of sound.
All mermaids are born musicians. If the voice of a mermaid is not hidden, it has the ability to confuse people. If a mermaid sings with all its heart, all creatures and even elements that hear the song will be lost.Not to mention the beauty of the mermaid's own voice, the mermaid's ability to control the sound alone is enough to make the siren clan who use sound waves to defeat the enemy, and the sound waves are completely under the command of the mermaid...
That being the case, why not use sound as a weapon?
With this in mind, Lan Jun decided to buy the flute: "Boss, I bought it, how much is it?"
The boss was overjoyed, thinking that it was finally sold, so he didn't want a high price: "I bought it for [-] credits, so I didn't want more. How about selling it to you for [-] credits?"
This price is really cheap, Lan Jun swiped the card, asked the boss for a wet wipe to wipe the box clean, and then wiped the flute carefully, on the body of the flute, Lan Jun found two small ancient Chinese characters - voiceless.Presumably this is the name of the flute, Lan Jun tried to play a few notes, and felt that the name was worthy of the name.
Although Xue Ji was surprised that Jun Lan chose such a weapon, she didn't say anything because she didn't know his ability.
Xue Ji brought Lanjun to the apron in the west of the city, walked to a small but stylish aircraft, and said with a little pride: "Look, this is my personal aircraft——Ice Snow, we need to take it to the Imperial Palace. city."
Xue Ji and Lan Jun sat on it, and Xue Ji started the Ice Snow to fly high into the sky: "The imperial city is too far away from here, it is already afternoon, today I will fly to Fanna City to rest, and tomorrow I will depart from Fanna City to the Imperial City. "
Along the way, you can enjoy the charming scenery of the land from a high altitude. Because it is a long-distance flight, the Ice and Snow walks in the air passage on the highest floor, and the clouds drift by. Sometimes you can see a few flying psykers passing by the aircraft. of skimming.
"It feels great to fly, isn't it?" Xue Ji looked at Lan Jun's happy expression and smiled, "I really like the feeling of flying in the sky. I was disappointed when I became a psychic, but I couldn't become a flying race. That's why I spent a lot of money to buy a private flying machine."
Lan Jun agrees with Xue Ji's point of view, the feeling of flying is indeed very good, so human beings have never given up the dream of flying into the sky.
Traveling through the snow-white flowing clouds, Lan Jun's eyelids gradually became heavy.Too many things happened today. In the early morning, I was just an ordinary human being. In the evening, I became the third mermaid in [-] years. The mysterious guide disappeared after helping me... To be able to experience so many things in one day Things are really a test of people's endurance.
When Lord Lan woke up, the sky outside the aircraft was already dark, and the God of Darkness replaced the God of Light to dominate the world.
Seeing Lan Jun waking up, Xue Ji said: "I woke up in time, I'm already descending, we've arrived at Fanna City."
Vanna City is the largest city in the Santias Empire except the imperial city of Santias, and it is also the city with the most developed economy and commerce in the empire. It is known as the "City of Wealth".
The people in Vanna City are all rich. Although they can't be said to be rich, they can be considered to be rich in life.The affluence of material life makes the leisure life of the people in this city rich and colorful. There are many entertainment facilities and places on the street, and various parades and celebrations are often held in the city.
Lan Jun and Xue Ji came to a hotel, and the owner of the hotel warmly received them.The two asked for two single rooms, settled their luggage, and inquired about a small but first-class restaurant from the hotel owner, and the two went to have dinner.
Perhaps because of becoming a mermaid, the original Lanjun loved meat, but now he prefers all kinds of vegetables and fruits, he doesn't like meat very much, and he is even more insensitive to fish—you know the current Lanjun When he sees a fish's tail, he thinks of his own tail, and loses his appetite no matter how good he is, but he still loves to eat shrimp and all kinds of shellfish.
While eating, suddenly there was an exclamation from the side: "What? Mermaid tears?"
The two were startled, and couldn't help but slow down their eating speed and looked aside.
Beside them are two ordinary human men who seem to be local residents.
One of them flaunted: "Of course, my relatives work in the auction house. The news is absolutely true."
Another man who exclaimed just now said: "Oh my god... there will be Mermaid Tears, so this is tomorrow's auction?"
"That's right, tomorrow is the auction day..."
Xue Ji couldn't sit still anymore, she got up and went up to talk to her: "Excuse me, where is the auction you are talking about... held?"
Seeing that Xue Ji was young and beautiful, the two were naturally happy to share her worries: "The auction at the 'Lanny' auction center will be held at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning. There are many treasures in the auction."
"Thank you both." Xue Ji showed a touching smile, which fascinated the two of them.
Xue Ji and Lan Jun quickly finished their dinner and settled the bill, and were going back to the hotel to discuss the news they had just received.
"Why don't you take a look?" Jun Lan suggested, "I'm very interested in this news, I'd rather believe it or not, anyway, it won't take long."
Xue Ji also agreed: "Yes, if the auction is really Mermaid Tears, we can save a lot of effort."
"But..." Xue Ji murmured again: "This is too lucky... We were just looking for Mermaid Tears, and there was news about Mermaid Tears."
Hearing this, Jun Lan was startled, but then he suppressed the panic: No...it is impossible for someone to know his identity, maybe this is really a coincidence...
But at that time, Lord Lan didn't know that coincidences were inevitable, and when Lord Lan knew all the truth, it was too late...
Vanner Auction
Chapter Six
Vanner Auction
"I found out." The next morning, when Lan Jun was having breakfast on the first floor of the hotel, Xue Ji rushed to Lan Jun with two chips in her hand.
Lan Jun wiped her mouth and looked up: "About the auction?"
"Yeah." Xue Ji nodded and sat down, picked up the juice on the table and drank it all in one go: "I'm so exhausted, I went out early in the morning to inquire about news, how are you, and have a leisurely breakfast by yourself."
Lan Jun smiled, with a flattering expression: "That's because I fully trust Xue Ji in your ability."
Obviously these words put Xue Ji in a good mood, she nodded proudly: "That's true."
"Then," Lan Jun hurriedly asked about the matter, "What did you find out?"
The sandwich in Xue Ji's eyes: "It's like this, the timing of our coming here is really a coincidence, every year on the first Sunday of June, it is the day when the local, and of course the largest auction in the country is held. The name of the meeting is named after the name of the city, 'Vanna'. The Vanna Auction will be held at [-] o'clock this morning. I just visited a local friend and confirmed the news that Mermaid Tears will appear. There are two tickets, they are VIP seats~"
"It seems that this friend of yours, Xue Ji, is not a simple person." According to Jun Lan's memory, the VIP tickets for the Fanner Auction cannot be obtained with money.
Xue Ji waved her hand: "It's okay, who told me that he owed me a favor in the mission." He gave a chip to Jun Lan: "Here, this is the admission certificate, just put it into the optical brain gone."
Lanjun looked at the chip carefully.As expected of a large auction, this chip is golden in color, very small and exquisite, with the logo of the auction house and the word VIP engraved on it.
Putting the chip into the watch-shaped personal optical brain, Jun Lan suddenly thought of a question: "By the way, have you asked your friend, do you know who took out that mermaid tear?"
"I asked. But he didn't know. It seems that the seller is very mysterious, and no one in the city has found out his identity."
Maybe the other party just got the Mermaid's Tears by chance and was eager to spend the money, so they put it up for auction.Thinking of this, Lan Jun suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.
At [-]:[-] in the morning, Lan Jun and Xue Ji came to the "Lanny" auction center, and there was a long queue in front of the auction house, all of them came from all over to participate in the auction.Because they were holding VIP tickets, the staff respectfully invited them to the separate box on the second floor.
There are two comfortable sofas in the box, drinks and exquisite pastries are placed on the coffee table, the whole picture of the auction platform can be seen from the sofa, and four large light screens are installed directly in front of the seats, so that guests can see more carefully Observing the details of the lot on stage.Each box is semi-open, the people downstairs cannot see the people in the box upstairs, but the guests between the boxes can see each other.
"This is a status symbol." Xue Ji teased.
Although Mr. Lan laughed it off, he knew that Xue Ji's words were not wrong at all. It was just an admission ticket to the auction, which clearly distinguished the powerful and nobles with status from ordinary civilians.
Sitting generously on the sofa, the waiters in each box closed the door so that no one would disturb them.
While waiting for the auction to start, Lanjun browsed the information on the optical network when he had nothing to do.
The homepage is about the first "gene re-optimization" operation this year. In this year's operation, about [-]% of the children became metamorphosis, which is considered a very high probability, and there are many rare races among them .But this also makes people worry, because rare races are often very powerful, and relatively, their fertility is very low, so the birth rate of this group of children will be very low.
Another piece of news is that the patriarch of the Eastern Dragon Clan, who had been in seclusion for [-] years, finally left the seclusion, and took over the Blood Coral Forest from the elders, prohibiting others from entering...
While watching, the surrounding lights dimmed, the host stepped up to the front desk, and the auction officially started.
"Welcome everyone to the annual Fanna Auction!" The host's words were full of passion, with a joyful expression on his face: "This auction is amazing, there are many people who are rare to see on weekdays, and some people even live in their lifetime. Treasures that have never been seen before appear! Let’s stop gossip and let’s officially enter the auction!”
The host walked aside: "The first lot is a defensive ring made of Ziqiyang's precious purple bloodstone - Ziyao, wearing it can block intermediate damage for you, and can also offset 20.00% High-level damage! And this ring is crystal clear and exquisitely carved, it is definitely the best gift for your loved one! The starting price is [-] credits!"
For such a beautiful and eye-catching defense ring, everyone who loves beauties is obviously interested, and the price keeps going up again and again, until finally it is bought by a pretty cat girl for [-] credits.
Lan Jun smacked his lips a little unbearably: "Just such a thing can be sold for [-] credits, so why can't the mermaid tears be sold at a sky-high price?"
It's not that this ring is bad, but it's just that the price is obviously a bit high.
Xue Ji lazily leaned on the back of the sofa: "It's too normal. This ring looks good in the first place, and after being touted like that by the host, it would be a rare thing not to sell it at such a price."
Next, a few more beautiful but not top-quality items were bought, and then, it really entered the theme.
"Okay." The host cleared his throat: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's pay attention to the next lot! Below is an extremely rare precious gem—Shui Miaojing!"
There was an uproar in the audience, Shui Miaojing is a kind of extremely precious gemstone produced around Liansheng Island, but since Liansheng Island became a "mermaid holy land", mining of this kind of gemstone has been strictly prohibited.
Seeing everyone's discussion, the host had to increase the volume: "Everyone, please be quiet! Don't be too surprised. We have investigated that this piece of water crystal was mined before Liansheng Island became a holy place. The owner treasured it and passed it on to future generations, and now the owner’s descendants urgently need money, so they reluctantly auction it off.”
The sound from the audience stopped, and the water crystals on the stage were very gorgeous. The whole body of water blue gemstones refracted different light beams from dark blue to silver white from different angles, which looked dazzling and beautiful.
And Shui Miaojing itself is also a high-grade material for making space devices and defensive jewelry, so people want to bid one after another.
Looking at Shui Miaojing on the screen, Lan Jun cheered up, his water blue eyes were shining brightly.
Yes, water crystals are indeed a precious raw material for making utensils, but for mermaids, water crystals are the holy medicine for life!
As long as the water crystal is worn on the mermaid, the mermaid will not die even if she is fatally injured. The existence of the water crystal will keep the mermaid alive, so that the mermaid has time to find blood coral to save herself.
I thought I had no chance with Shui Miaojing... but I didn't expect to meet her here, is it really a lucky time?
Xue Ji noticed Lan Jun's excited look: "Why, are you interested in this?"
Lan Jun nodded, and when the other people had almost shouted the price, he directly added another [-] credits to the price: "[-]!"
The voice was very pleasant, and Mr. Lan didn't pay attention to cover it up because he was so excited. He didn't realize that something was wrong until he yelled out. He looked around and found that people were looking at the spar and didn't pay attention, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
But what he didn't expect was that it was this sentence that made a person pay more attention to him, and thus he would have his "magnificent" life in the future...
After the host shouted the price three times in a row, he announced the deal.
Only then did Lan Jun relax, [-] credits are nothing, compared to his own life, this price is too cheap!
After a while, the door of the box was knocked, the waiter opened the door, two staff members came in, bowed down respectfully to ask Lan Jun to pay, and then handed the Shui Miaojing packed in a box to Lan Jun.
After the two left, Lan Jun played with the egg-sized water crystal, and decided to find a craftsman to make it into a ring and a drop-shaped pendant.
Just thinking about it, Lan Jun called the waiter: "Can you process gems here?"
The waiter replied: "Yes, but a processing fee is required."
"It's no problem." Lan Jun said, and handed the box to the waiter: "Go, find your best craftsman to make it into a ring and a pendant." Then he quickly drew a sketch and passed it to the waiter: "Just As it stands, the dimensions are already written on it."
"Yes." The waiter bowed: "I will fetch it for you before the auction ends."
Lan Jun looked at the back of the waiter, not at all worried that Shui Miaojing would be dropped or snatched away, after all, "Lanny" has the reputation for many years, besides, he can undertake the largest auction in the country, without two brushes. .
Looking back at the auction site, none of the subsequent auction items aroused Mr. Lan's great interest, but Xue Ji took a notebook of the forbidden technique of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, presumably she wanted to learn from it.
One lot after another was auctioned off, and finally the finale came on stage.
The host was very excited again: "I think everyone knows the story of mermaids. The mermaids who have transformed themselves are the darlings of heaven. They are beautiful, noble, powerful, and pure..."
Lan Jun 囧 and said nothing: beauty is okay...but this will make people feel exaggerated...
Contrary to his expectations, no one objected to such a description, from which we can see how much people yearn for and respect mermaids.
"...Their scales, hair, blood... are all priceless treasures, and today, here, you will see the mermaid tears with your own eyes!"
There was a burst of cheers from the audience, and the host didn't talk too much, and waved for the staff to take the lot.
The staff members came out from the backstage, held their breath, and carefully held an exquisite square box with silver patterns on a black background with both hands, placed it on the booth very gently, and opened the lid.
Inside the box was a black crystal the size of a soybean, with a jet black body exuding a warm luster.
Lan Jun recognized Ye Di's tears at a glance, each mermaid's tears will turn into different crystals, Ye Di's is Moyu, Zhu Yan's is blood pearls, as for his own... I'm sorry, He hasn't shed tears so far, so he doesn't know.
Xue Ji became very excited: "This is the Mermaid's Tears! It's really beautiful!"
Lan Jun nodded: Indeed, such a beautiful luster can only be found in mermaid tears...
Observing the tears carefully, Mr. Lan suddenly froze for a moment: This is... the natal pattern? !
Only Lord Lan could see that the center of this teardrop was Yedi's natal pattern——Wang pattern.
The lines were clearly reflected in the middle of the tears, Lan Jun would never admit his mistake.
There are two types of Mermaid Tears.
When a mermaid sheds tears for others, there is no natal pattern in the center of the crystallization of tears. Such mermaid tears are holy medicine treasures, which can even be used together with mermaid blood to bring back to life ordinary humans who died within [-] hours or spiritual transformations who died within [-] hours .
But if the mermaid sheds tears for herself, there will be natal lines in the crystallization of tears that only mermaids can see. Such mermaid tears are still a holy medicine for mermaids, but for others it is a deadly poison that cannot be cured .
Although Lan Jun was very curious why such a proud and powerful Ye Di would shed tears for him, but he always felt that he had overlooked something...
"This kind of crystallization is the holy medicine for healing!" Xue Ji exclaimed.
Xue Ji's words suddenly reminded Mr. Lan, and Mr. Lan quickly logged into the optical network to call out the details of the task he received this time:
Mission Name: Find the Tears of the Mermaid
Mission requirement: Find a mermaid tear that is a holy medicine for healing
Mission Delivery Location: Saint Teas Imperial City - Bounty Hunter Registry
Task reward: [-] credits, [-] high-purity ice crystal
Task level: S
The words "mermaid's tears, the holy medicine for healing" came into his eyes clearly.
Ordinary people... only know that mermaid tears are the holy medicine for healing, and only mermaid people know the difference between mermaid tears... Why, this client specifically noted this point?
Is it because he knows the mermaid tribe very well or...
Lan Jun's mind became more and more chaotic, but there was only one idea that was clearest: the soldiers came to cover up the water and the soil, now that he has reached this point, it is useless to retreat, it is better to find out all this.
Lan Jun stopped Xue Ji from wanting to take pictures of Mermaid Tears, and explained: "Such Mermaid Tears must be very expensive, besides, I want to go to the Imperial City to have a look."
Seeing that the price of Mermaid Tears doubled and soared upwards, Xue Ji also accepted Lan Jun's proposal.
After a long time, Mr. Lan still doesn't know whether his original actions were correct, but he knows that if he does it all over again, he will still choose to come to the imperial city. Maybe this is his destiny...
advance to the imperial city
Chapter Six
advance to the imperial city
Before the auction ended, the waiter brought the processed Shui Miaojing.Lan Jun took the ring and put it on the little finger of his right hand, then took out a thin silver chain from the interspatial ring, passed it through the hanging hole of the drop-shaped pendant, and put it on his head. Lan Jun's mermaid's soul pattern, matched with Lan Jun's blue hair, is very eye-catching.
Originally, this kind of attire was indeed a bit outstanding, but in view of the fact that in today's society, the stronger and the higher the status of the person, the more distinctive the attire, this phenomenon seems to have become an unspoken rule for everyone.
And the reason Lan Jun dresses up like this is not only to drive away some unqualified harassers by dressing up, but also the energy emitted by Shui Miaojing can cover his whole body and better protect himself.
