Chapter 402

Elisa Morganti, the noble lady of the Morgandi family in the Central District, raised the gold-plated invitation card on her hand, and the silver bracelet slipped from her white arm. Although she has been married for decades, she still looks like Is a young girl.

There are also many legends about the Morgandi family in the Central District. For example, Elisa, people always hear that she will keep beautiful girls in captivity at home, like domestic animals, and drink their blood to maintain her beauty.

For such a legend, Eliza must clarify——

This is not a rumor, it is true.

However, these beautiful girls of hers were all obtained through "legitimate means". In the circle of nobles like them, this kind of thing is not too common, and the Morgandi family does relatively little.

Probably because it is more picky.

As the core nobles close to the Central District, the Morganti family also possessed some extraordinary abilities. The secret recipe for refining beauty with the blood of a beautiful girl is true.

"It's the first time I've participated in an auction of this kind of auction book."

Elisa helped the mask on her face to conceal her identity, and she pouted like a girl. She managed to ask someone to get the tickets for this auction.

The land business that the Morganti family is engaged in does not have the ability and does not want to have the talent to contact that kind of real extraordinary person, but the auction held by the Ji family has no other restrictions. Elisa can be said to have exhausted her contacts to get this Invitation to auction.

Naturally, what she wanted would not be easily let go.

Eliza sat in the very back seat, looked around, only to find that most of the participants did not assign their subordinates, but came in person, and there were a lot of familiar faces, and even a few of them were frightening big shot.

The style is so high... Eliza sighed in her heart.

The lights hit the right side of the stage, and a rather familiar person walked from the darkness to the stage auctioneer's position.

"Everyone." Ji Bonong stood on the stage of the auction and looked at the scattered people sitting below. There were not too many people, but basically all the people who could be named in the entire Central District were here. .

Not only those who attended the banquet before, but also some uninvited guests.

"I'm very glad that everyone can give Ji Bonong a little face to abide by the agreement and gather here." Ji Bonong smiled, and looked at Ji Zhixu who was sitting below with a clear look.

"Since I have come here, I will no longer hide the existence of the hermit from the bookstore who I worship, the source of power in this world, the owner of all knowledge."

"The hermit of the bookstore..."

Elisa frowned, and couldn't help making a sound in doubt, and was surprised to find that a young lady sitting next to her also made the same doubt in surprise.

She looked at the lady, her eyes lit up, and then she felt a little familiar. She recalled some extraordinary families in her impression, and remembered that this was... the White Wizard family—Franka from the Curtis family?

"Hi?" Elisa raised her hand and beckoned to Franka.

A trace of greed flashed in her eyes.

This lady from the Transcendent family looks really beautiful... Besides, I heard that she seems to be a hybrid with a mortal, and doesn't have the talent of a Transcendent?

"Hi, Mrs. Elisa." Franka responded cheerfully, and the two of them seemed to be sitting at the same table talking in a low voice in class.

"Is Miss Franka also here to buy books?" Eliza lowered her head and whispered.

She is very confident in her affinity, as long as she is willing to get in touch, regardless of gender, she will always let go of her innocent appearance.

"Well, my servant Mike is very interested in a book."

Franka twitched the corners of her mouth, and responded with a little embarrassment.

In fact, she herself is more interested in...

As early as at Miss Ji's birthday party, she had taken a fancy to one of the books called "1000 Classic Home Cooking Dishes".

Although she is the only daughter of the white wizard family for thousands of years, she doesn't have any extraordinary talent at all. Even though the patriarch's father comforts her and protects her in various ways, she still has a deep inferiority complex and guilt.

But these guilt can't make her reduce her interests, such as... housekeeping.

So she must win the "1000 Classic Home Cooking Dishes".

But it's too embarrassing to say directly that I like cooking, hey! So I had to use Mike as a shield... Sorry sorry.

"So this is ah……"

Elisa glanced at Mike who was standing behind Franka, with a smile on her face.

That rather impressive hunter was like a wolf, eagerly looking at Ji Bonon in the center of the stage, but not at Franke.

That eager look filled the entire auction, as if everyone wanted to get those few books.

But this may be the most boring auction Eliza has ever participated in. She usually comes into contact with auctions of slaves, jewelry, antiques, and exotic animals. Unlike here, everyone seems to have only one purpose, and that is to get those books.

For Eliza, it was a kind of torture.

If she hadn't met Miss Franka, Eliza would have been bored to death.

"What about Mrs. Eliza? Do you want a book too?" Franka asked in a low voice.

"Me? I came here to meet the bookstore owner, don't you know?" Elisa showed a gossip face, and got a little closer to Franka, saying, "Even his assistant is from the Sun God Sect." saint."

Franka was quite surprised, and recalled the glimpse at Miss Ji Zhixu's birthday party—hey, the bookstore owner is really, um, ordinary, right?

The two wanted to continue chatting, but Ji Bonong held a special hammer for auctions and tapped lightly on the table. The sound was clear and loud, echoing throughout the venue.

Ji Bonong looked around and looked at Ji Zhixu at the backstage, and Ji Zhixu waved to his subordinates. A delicate box was brought up, and gently placed on the lonely small box in the middle of the stage. On the table.

The box is inlaid with four noble emeralds with restraining and sealing power. Just one of these emeralds is enough to buy half a house in the central area.

But these are just bonuses for buying the book.

Ji Bonong looked at the box—the book given by Boss Lin was just an experiment, used to expand his believers and followers, and it was also an opportunity for Luo Er's resources. If he can do well this time, he will become a Distributor of the book.

This is a great opportunity for Luoer Resources to become the chain linking Boss Lin and his loved ones. We must firmly convey Boss Lin's will.

He walked to the center of the stage and gently opened the delicate box.

"What you are seeing is the first book in tonight's auction—considering that some people can't directly look at such powerful knowledge, let me tell you that the name of this book is—"La Lai Yevin"!"

"Wow..."

The language that seemed to come from another world in Jibonong's mouth, and the whispers containing terrifying syllables shocked the audience in an instant. He really underestimated most of the extraordinary people present, because most of them can still see their names, but the price is With unimaginable vomiting and head pain, the scene has begun to become chaotic.

And Ji Bonong was able to pronounce the name of this book, has his strength reached this level?

The language in his mouth seemed to have turned into some kind of curse and whisper, which doubled the sight and hearing of the Transcendents present.

"Ah?" Franka tilted her head, limited by the vision of ordinary people, she picked up the monocular and pointed it at the stage, and saw the name of the book clearly—"Isn't that "The Old Man and the Sea"?"

She was quite surprised. Could it be that I read it wrong?

Isn't this book called "The Old Man and the Sea"? Why is it called "Raliyah Text" again? Could it be... is she actually illiterate?

Franka began to doubt herself. She was originally an ordinary person without extraordinary talent, and she was usually cautious in her daily life. At this time, she fell into a tangle...

Or, maybe this kind of mysterious book, only I can't understand?

And Chairman Ji also said just now that some people can't look directly at books, ah, it's a good thing I didn't say it directly, otherwise I would be the only fool in the venue, and I would make the family laughing stock again...Franka felt very lucky.

Hey, wait, Mrs. Eliza doesn't seem to be a transcendent, so maybe she is also... Franka quickly turned her head to look at Mrs. Eliza who was smiling at her just now, and then widened her eyes in horror. Eye--

The young and beautiful Mrs. Eliza's face was aging rapidly, as loose as an old lady's face, her eyes were almost open to the limit, and she was about to bleed.

But she seemed to be unconscious, staring at the book on the stage closely, and her well-maintained nails scratched deep scratches on the table like a cat.

The lady murmured incomprehensible words, gurgling, her voice became like another person, old and terrifying, and the resentful faces of some beautiful girls constantly appeared under her loose skin, making her seem like A tattered leather sack full of souls.

Ji Bonong's voice came from the stage: "This book, like the tip of the iceberg, can reveal some truths hidden behind things..."
