Chapter 61
"According to the rules, either the fine must be paid within seven days, or their admission qualifications will be permanently cancelled."
The host looked around the room and stood there waiting for a few seconds.
"Since no one has any objections, our auction can begin."
"Number one!"
There was no unnecessary preamble, and the transaction began directly and quickly.
As the paper window rolled up 1/3 of its height, a delicate and luxurious wakizashi with a scabbard was handed out from room one.
The host stepped forward to pick it up and put it on the tray, then picked up the attached note and started reading it.
"The Masterless Zanpakutō."
"The ability is based on the amount of spiritual pressure injected into the blade. The spiritual son transforms the blade and extends it. It is known that the vice-captain level can extend it to seven meters."
"The mid-level noble master who came from the West Second District and was slaughtered by Juxu three months ago left home. This is their inherited Zanpakutō."
"Starting price......"
"Twenty gold!"
————
"Twenty gold!"
"Twenty-five gold!"
"Forty gold!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, there were continuous bidding sounds all around. Originally, all you had to do was raise the price tag, but these bidders didn't seem to care about their identities being exposed, and their voices were louder than the others.
"..."
"Is it so exciting?"
Haruto was also shocked by this posture.
Zanpakutō that can be passed down can basically be regarded as the lifeblood of mid-level nobles, and lower-level nobles have no way of contacting them at all.
not to mention.
This is the legacy of a middle-level noble who has just been expelled.
Haruto didn't think about conspiracy theories such as the feud between nobles, but the fact that Juxu appeared in the Western Second District - after so many years, the Hueco Mundo Expedition was able to be established so quickly, and the massacred division Going home must have made a great contribution.
"Aren't you going to buy it and take it back?"
Haruto encouraged Byakuya.
"There is no shortage of Zanpakutō in our family. There are hundreds of similar things in the unguarded warehouse where I played hide and seek when I was a child."
"..."
Haruto was just shocked and speechless by Byakuya's divine speech when he heard him continue to add:
"And these Zanpakutō, no matter how powerful their original abilities are, without matching souls, it will be difficult to exert their full effect. They can only be used to arm miscellaneous soldiers... No one in our family cares about them. use."
"..."
In Byakuya's words, the background of the mid-level nobles was simply miscellaneous items used to fill up the warehouse space, not even decorations.
This may be the reason why the great nobles can dominate the Soul Society.
"All right."
Haruto thought he knew Byakuya quite well, but after hearing these words, he was still unprepared and was severely pretended by Byakuya.
"The price has reached fifty-five gold."
Haruto glanced at the nobles who were still raising their cards.
"Why don't you lend me fifty gold, and I'll buy some and take them back to my staff. Maybe they'll be helpful to Shi Jie."
It would be okay for Byakuya to go in and take a look at the Kuchiki family's warehouse, but to take things out, he would have to get the permission of Mr. Ginling.
Haruto didn't know if it was useful or not, but maybe he would actually hit it after a shot?
"..."
Byakuya didn't reply to him.
Haruto thought it was because the guys outside were bidding too loudly, so he asked again:
"How about it?"
"...not enough money."
Byakuya's voice was small.
"ah?"
But what confused Haruto was the unexpected answer.
"I have spent too much pocket money, and I only have less than hardware on hand this quarter..."
"Good guy!"
Haruto took a hissing breath.
Byakuya had shown off to Haruto before that the pocket money given to him by Kuchiki Sojun was fifty gold per quarter.
Now that summer has just passed halfway, the assets have shrunk to only 1/10... Qingren's idea of being a sugar daddy was instantly defeated.
"Then I'd better wait."
Haruto consciously didn't ask where the money was spent. Since Brother Fu didn't have 50 to V, he naturally stopped thinking about it.
There is no credit rule at the auction, and no barter is supported. All transactions are made with payment and delivery.
five minutes later.
The Zanpakuto in the No. 1 auction was sold for sixty-one gold.
However, No. 16, the bidder, was obviously a little reluctant to spend more than the budget. After dilly-dallying for a while, he successfully won the bid with the help of No. 17, who supported ten golds - the two families obviously knew each other. .
after that.
Arranged according to serial numbers, the lots were placed on the tray one by one.
However, none of them are as attractive as the Masterless Zanpakutō, and most of the offers do not exceed ten gold.
Haruto’s trip was not in vain.
He used almost all of his net worth, seven gold medals, to obtain the secret of ghost ways left by a certain upper-class noble family that had declined a thousand years ago:
The sixty-seventh chapter of Breaking the Way ·Thunder is scattered.
Ordinary Thunder Powder, Haruto has seen it in Nanao's Book of Ghost Path.
Although he didn’t practice much, Haruto could even sing the release of breaking away from the Zhan Hualun. Now it’s very easy to use the Thunder Powder. At the beginning, Haruto gave up because the effect of the Thunder Powder was not concentrated enough. Learn the related practices of this move.
but.
The Secret Thunder Powder he bought is somewhat different:
The techniques recorded in it completely abandon the killing effect of Thunder Powder, but are used as a "smoke bomb" or "substitute technique". Compared with the original Thunder Powder, this secret technique is more like a kind of binding. road.
Haruto bought it to make up for the shortcomings of the Kidō version of Kuchan:
The combination of Red Smoke Release and Quguang Kidō, as well as many problems such as the sluggishness of phantoms, have not been solved. Haruto wants to learn this secret book of Thunder Powder to verify the parts he has mastered and see if there are any There is no possibility of further improvement.
certainly.
If it was really the ghost version of Kong Chan, the price of the secret would definitely not be affordable by seven gold.
Haruto was able to catch it a little bit simply because the modified Secret Thunder Powder was too difficult to practice.
————
Volume 1: 040, a lot that should not appear
"This can make you miss something."
When he saw Haruto taking a picture of Lei Mingsan, Byakuya complained sourly next to him.
He practiced Shunpo hard throughout the holiday, and even had the nerve not to visit the cat demon at Sifengyuan's house, so that he could perfect Kongchan's skills.
did not expect.
Haruto just went to an auction and took a photo of a ghost path with similar effects for the price of a small amount of pocket money.
In terms of consumption, Thunder Powder is definitely higher than Kong Chan, but Haruto's spiritual pressure is already abundant, so he won't have this problem at all.
and.
Byakuya didn't think Haruto would be able to learn this secret technique.
With the experience of Chiyan Dun and Qu Guang, although mastering the secret is not something that can be done in just one glance, it will definitely not take three days.
If the price of this Thunder Powder Secret had been a few gold higher, Byakuya wouldn't be so bitter: Haruto would definitely have to borrow money from him at that time. From another perspective, it would be equivalent to getting a bargain.
But now...
"Oh, who gave me such good luck?"
Haruto said while looking at the secret message he had obtained.
Even if the Kidou Jade cannot be sold at a high price, Haruto is very satisfied with this auction: Haruto doesn't know many ghost ways that have hidden effects, and he doesn't have any high-level binding ways. It makes up for the shortcomings in this aspect.
Haruto opened the secret book in his hand, and he was going to start researching it before bidding on the Kidou Jade - anyway, he didn't have a penny left on hand, and the next lot would be in vain.
He's not worried about buying fakes.
Dare to hold an auction here, and even have a vice-captain-level host, which shows that their backstage is quite tough; and they also sent out the invitation, so there must be ways and means to pursue it.
As for Byakuya...
This kid also secretly came over and called him a counselor to help Haruto.
Although Byakuya has mastered Sora Chan, but as the saying goes, there may be times when the need arises.
When these two tricks are used together.
Moreover, Byakuya doesn’t have much pocket money in his hand, and there is still a long time to go. With his arrogant character, he will definitely not come home to ask for sponsorship... The remaining auction items Basically, I am insulated from him.
certainly.
The greater possibility is that Byakuya doesn't like these crooked dates at all, and he just came here to enjoy the atmosphere of the auction.
————
Time ticked away.
"Number 25!"
By the time the host called out their room number, two hours had passed... Haruto had even learned a new Raidensan secret.
That is to say, there is no place to experiment at this moment, otherwise Haruto's proficiency would have increased a lot.
After the two handed over the auction items——
"Record the Eighty-one Binding Dao: Duan Kong's Ghost Dao Jade."
"The ability is to help the user quickly master the Sky Break. Currently, the internal spirit is not active, and it is expected to be available in half a year at the earliest."
"Friendly reminder, if you don't have the level of vice-captain, don't activate this thing at will."
When talking about this, the host's voice paused very slightly:
Duan Kong, who can block all ghost paths below number 90, is perfect for him; unfortunately, even though he is very confident in his own strength, he knows how powerful the person behind the auction is and does not have the courage to be greedy. Such a valuable treasure.
"From Higashi Rukongai, a certain high-ranking noble who was expelled from Seireitei."
"Starting price......"
"Thirty-five gold!"
"..."
The host finished speaking, but after half a minute, no one made the first bid.
"what happened?"
Byakuya lowered his voice and asked impatiently.
