Ge Sheng couldn't help but fell into silence, and after a long time he asked: "When did you decide?"
Ao Xuehua stretched out his hand and scratched the bun on his head. He seemed to be used to the freshness of the ponytail: "It should be said that it was a day ago. Originally, we had made up our minds to pay an unbearable price, but His Majesty passed the weapons An offer was made that we simply couldn’t refuse.”
"You should know that in the spring of the fourth year of Qingli." Ao Xuehua said with a soft smile: "He may be the strangest person in the world. He is obviously the biggest beneficiary in the world, but he has always maintained a wonderful relationship with the world. Feeling apart."
"It wasn't until the end that he told us through Weapon that he actually had nothing to do with the Os family, but on the contrary, many forces that didn't like the Os family also disliked him."
"Since the enemy of my enemy is my friend, it is not unacceptable to cooperate once in a while."
Ao Xuehua's smile was light: "He proposed a betting agreement to us, which is to bet on the final transaction amount at the auction."
"If the amount of this transaction is less than 200,000 gold leaves, then the Os family needs to pay him half of the gold amount as the cost of purchasing the Snow Rose address."
"Of course, if the final transaction volume is higher than 200,000 gold-leaf clovers, then the Os family only needs to pay an additional 50,000 gold-leaf clovers, which is enough to get the answer we want."
Only then did Ge Sheng truly understand what a terrible and vicious conspiracy this was.
All the enemies of the Os Empire are not willing to let the Os Empire get the snow-colored roses in peace. At the same time, they firmly believe that the Os Empire will fight for the origin of the snow-colored roses at all costs, so they will fight one after another. Come to snipe, just to make the Os Empire pay a greater price.
Of course, before they acted, they had done detailed analysis and inferences, and obtained the ultimate price that the Os Empire could afford. In a general sense, there were no loopholes in this sniper plan, and it was even said to be foolproof.
However, this plan has a fatal weakness.
That is - the real product of the auction is not the rare bouquet of snow-colored roses, but the origin behind the snow-colored roses.
This origin is just a piece of information. In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, it can be sold as a secret, or it can be directly announced to the world like Dark Star did that day.
But what he wanted to do in the spring of the fourth year of Qingli was even more strange and subtle.
He used this information to make a wonderful and absurd game.
Everyone believes that the Os Empire is bound to get this information, so as long as it is within the tolerance range of the Os Empire and they raise the price arbitrarily, the Os Empire will eventually endure the pain and take the last blow, so what they have to do is, It just keeps adding fuel to the flames, pushing the final price closer to that limit.
Then, let it go.
But the spring of the fourth year of Qingli turned it into a nightmare, a nightmare that almost never ended.
Because there is no involvement of the Oss Empire at all.
In a sense, this game is impeccable. Its only chance to break the game is when Aoxuehua offered a high price of 10,000 golden-leaf grass, instead of impulsively raising the price tenfold, or in other words, when Christie After taking the price and directly raising the bet to 200,000 golden leaf grass, you can get out of this quagmire by pulling out your hand in time.
But the only thing that humans cannot defeat is greed.
Whether it is one hundred thousand golden leaf grass or the two hundred thousand golden leaf grass, they are far from the limit of their calculations, so they will only increase the price endlessly. They only believe that this information is that the Os Empire must do it at all costs. At least it is something that must be obtained at any cost, and at this time, they are hopeless.
Because this also makes use of the game rules of the Hall of Hanging Mirrors - the rules about anonymous bidding.
Because you never know who is raising the price on the other side of you. In other words, the Oss Empire you think is actually just another party that has the same purpose as you and wants to make the Oss Empire pay the price. .
It's just that you have to fight endlessly in this endless darkness.
After more than 100,000 golden leaves, no one will stop easily, because once the auction price is in their hands, they will have to pay an extremely painful price, so they would rather use special means to notify their companions to force the price increase. You must also find a scapegoat. Don't think about wasting the auction money from the Hall of Hanging Mirrors. Ye Ye Academy has ten thousand ways to make you spit out the gold coins you have agreed to pay.
But this has become an endless quagmire.
At the beginning, those price increases seemed to be just some normal auction competitions, so they had every reason to believe that the Ossian Empire was also hiding among them, using its strongest financial resources to compete for its most indispensable existence. But as the prices stack up endlessly, if you want to get out of this quagmire, you must first find a scapegoat. Otherwise, you have to use the price increase between yourself and yourself to create a normal competitive atmosphere, so as to induce The Os Empire, or other hostile forces, will come to take over this flower that is too hot to touch, and they never want the day when the drumming stops.
"What a desperate and dark game." Ge Sheng sighed softly.
"Yes." Ao Xuehua said: "But have you ever thought that if we had not been offered this gambling agreement that we could not refuse in the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, then we would be the ones stuck in the quagmire, and we would also be in this quagmire Unable to find a direction, they finally accepted a price that even the empire could not easily afford, instead of being able to stand on the shore and watch their performances."
"It's really a game without a winner." Ge Sheng replied.
"But sometimes when I look at the ants struggling in the mire, I still have a different feeling." Christie's voice sounded leisurely from the communication crystal.
"Look, you and I give them hope, but they still can't let go of their greed."
As the Queen of the Commercial Federation said this, a new price tag appeared in front of her.
"Three hundred thousand golden leaves and grass."
Ge Sheng sighed slowly.
Anyone can compete for this snow-colored rose, but not Christie.
It is precisely because Her Majesty the Queen knows this well that she is so confident.
The Croft family and the Os family are open allies, but at the same time, in terms of pure cash flow, the Croft family can far lag behind other forces in the world, whether they are first or second. , the third one is a million miles away.
So when Christie takes action publicly in her name, not only will they not feel relieved that someone will finally help them take this blazing flower, but they will become even more greedy.
If there is assistance from the Croft family, I am afraid that the maximum price that the Os Empire can accept will be much higher than originally expected. What's more, the 300,000 gold-leaf grass is enough for even the Os Empire family. Affordable price.
When the new price of three hundred and one thousand golden leaves appeared in front of Ge Sheng, Christie's quiet and soft voice came from the other side of the crystal.
"Human beings are really hopeless creatures, right?"
This auction of snow-colored roses, which was originally regarded as a warm-up event, has turned into the terrifying appearance it is now with strange developments that no one expected.
In full view of the public, this snow-colored rose flower, which could only be used as decoration and bonsai, was finally auctioned for a terrifying sky-high price of 740,000 gold-leaf grass. The reason why it was fixed at this price was because someone finally sold it. The overdraft limit approved by the Hall of Mirrors has finally come to an end.
In other words, this is all the activity funds controlled by the top organizations in the world just below the Three Sovereigns, Seven Hidden One Academy.
Ge Sheng could not imagine how desperate the organization that finally fell into his hands would look. Generally speaking, the total net worth of an ordinary Heavenly Realm powerhouse would not exceed one hundred thousand golden leaf grass, let alone more people without identity background. The resources controlled by the powerful people in the heaven realm are far less than the level of one hundred thousand golden leaf grasses.
But today, 740,000 gold-leaf grasses were smashed overnight. Ge Sheng completely believed what the man in Tsing Yi said when he saw the dust finally settled.
“Although we couldn’t believe it, we witnessed with our own eyes the record-breaking auction price in the history of the Hall of Mirrors.”
But when the auction of snow-colored roses finally ended, Ao Xuehua also stood up from his seat, patted his hands that were not dusty, and took out a bright red plum from the fruit plate on the coffee table: "Take that. When we come down, it will be none of our business. Do you want to come with me to see the weapons? We still have an agreement that we have not fulfilled."
Ge Sheng watched Ao Xuehua spit out the hard core from his mouth, and thought for a moment before replying: "Okay, let's go see him."
None of them asked about the auction items, because after the auction, the Hall of Hanging Mirrors will deliver the items you bought to the place you specified. For any accidents that occur during this period, the Hall of Hanging Mirrors will bear all losses. , of course, the Hall of Hanging Mirror is not responsible for any accidents that occur after you get the lot.
When Ge Sheng stepped onto the teleportation array in the box and returned to the base of the Hidden Tower, the moment he breathed in the cool air outside, Ge Sheng actually felt as if he was in another world.
However, Aoxuehua didn't give him so much space to express his inner drama. The president just raised his hand slightly, and Ge Sheng had to follow her through most of Ye Ye College.
But even Ge Sheng didn't expect that the place agreed upon by Xing Xi would be the beach outside the wooden house of the Friends Club at the end of summer.
When Ge Sheng came here, he saw the girl who was as bright as the moon and stars, sitting calmly on the edge of Broken Star Lake. The moonlight rose from behind her, casting a light shadow.
Seeing that the person she was waiting for finally arrived, Xingxi stood up from the beach. Her beautiful veiled face showed no emotion, and she just said: "In the center of the forest of death, by the quiet lake."
Saying this, the girl turned around, as if she was waiting here just to say these eleven simple words. In just a few blinks, she disappeared from everyone's sight.
"I really didn't expect it." Ge Sheng heard a voice that he shouldn't have heard but couldn't describe as familiar.
Mo Xiaojing slowly emerged from the shadow of the moonlight, as if he had been waiting here a long time ago: "It's actually in that place."
"Have you been here all this time?" Ge Sheng couldn't help but ask: "Then who is the person sitting in the Student Government Association box?"
Mo Xiaojing yawned slightly, and did not look directly at Ao Xuehua's dissatisfied eyes. She smiled and said, "Of course it's Ge Qing. I just gave you a temporary warning. I didn't expect that she could fake the truth by herself. It turns out that the more I feel that letting her inherit the student government is the right decision.”
"Don't say you don't have these things." Aoxuehua said coldly: "I don't believe Weapon will allow you to sit here, or that she is not aware of you at all."
Mo Xiaojing smiled: "Of course she knows, she just doesn't mind."
"I have already heard about the deal you made with His Majesty, so how about making a new deal with me?"
Ao Xuehua said without any hesitation: "Not very good."
"Why not? It's not you, Princess, who has the final say." Mo Xiaojing said leisurely, with a certain kind of awe-inspiring realization in his words: "We all know now what kind of place the Snow Rose Flower is, that is A place of death where heaven has no advantages, so I make an equally constructive suggestion, but whether you listen or not is not up to you, Princess."
"After today, I will go to the Forest of Death alone. No one in the world knows my situation better than you, so either I die there, or I can find the Snow Rose Flower and succeed. Leave with enough seeds and plants."
"When that time comes, I will trade with Her Royal Highness the Princess at a fair price. Of course, it will definitely be much fairer than the price paid by Her Majesty."
"Her Royal Highness Princess just needs to sit back and enjoy her achievements. The only thing you need to do is to stay here quietly. After waiting for me to come back, or after confirming where I died, you can touch the land that has existed there since ancient times. The scary forest."
Mo Xiaojing's smile was gentle and clean, but it made people feel illusory and even completely unreal: "Is this suggestion very good? What do you think of it, Your Highness the Princess?"
Ao Xuehua sneered, then didn't say a word, but calmly stretched out his palm.
A beam of white light slowly grew from her palm like a lotus protruding from the lake. But within a moment, the dream sword appeared in the hands of the president.
The second moment was to wave it down.
Without any hesitation, he took action with the Tiandao Sword.
Among the methods that were not used in Lanliu Ice Castle at the beginning, the Tiandao Sword holding the dream was undoubtedly one of them. However, at this time, Aoxuehua took action with all his strength without reservation. Even Ge Sheng felt that it almost made him The suffocating and sharp breath, even if the person it ultimately pointed at was not him.
Mo Xiaojing smiled softly. On this magical moonlight night, Mo Xiaojing seemed to be no different from the countless days and nights Ge Sheng had known him, but he felt that he had a completely different illusion.
He slowly stretched his hand back, and then slowly drew out the blue sword. Mingming Ao Xuehua's speed was extremely fast, and it seemed like a world had passed since Mo Xiaojing took out the sword.
However, when the sword intent of the Tiandao Sword came to Mo Xiaojing, the president just happened to draw the big sword from behind.
He raised the big sword casually, and then like a woodcutter who didn't understand swords at all, he casually hit Ao Xuehua's sword intent like a rusty ax against firewood.
There was no sound, but Ao Xuehua's face was ashen. He did not reach out to draw the second sword, but turned around neatly and left without looking back.
Ge Sheng looked at the red blood slowly flowing from the corner of Mo Xiaojing's mouth, but the president greeted Ge Sheng as if nothing was wrong: "I'm really sorry for letting you see the scene of domestic violence again, but please say this to classmate Ge Qing for me. I'm sorry, I'm sorry for being such an irresponsible bastard."
As he said this, Mo Xiaojing's white robe slowly faded and then gradually disappeared into the air.
In front of him, there was a deep and huge crack, so deep that it seemed like an endless abyss at first glance, and then the springs gushed up into the sky, covering up everything that had happened before.
Just like they did at Lanliu Ice Castle, every battle will leave such a mark on the battlefield, but this time, it is different from any previous one.
For the first time, Ao Xuehua attacked with all his strength without reservation, and Mo Xiaojing also no longer adhered to any form of fighting.
So Ao Xuehua drew the strongest sword she could, but Mo Xiaojing used incredible means to smash all of Ao Xuehua's sword intent into the endless underground, allowing them to penetrate Hundreds of feet of sand and gravel finally reached the undercurrent underground.
As the only witness, Ge Sheng looked at the sky, then lowered his head and sighed softly.
"You guys."
