Old Nine had indeed heard of Quan Zhen Sect. However, those rumours usually revolved around how much of a b*stard the players from Quan Zhen Sect were, and very rarely did they mention about the capabilities of Quan Zhen Sect. Furthermore, the people that Old Nine usually came into contact with were people in the upper echelon in the game, thus he did not place the two of them in his eyes.
However, upon seeing the items in front of him, Old Nine's expression changed from that of indifference to surprise and reverence.
After all, only those players with extraordinary capabilities could get their hands on these two items.
At the end of the day, a player's strength would determine the amount of respect that he would get. This was the most fundamental rule in any game.
"Can you estimate a price for this?" Wang Yu coolly asked.
"This… It's not easy to estimate a price for it…" Old Nine started to stammer in his reply.
This was the City Lord's Seal! Apart from this, the only other seal that has been found lies in the hands of the Twilight City Lord, Iron Bull's hands… throughout all of his auctions, he had never handled something as valuable as this before.
Thinking of the Twilight City Lord, Iron Bull, the amount of reverence that Old Nine had for Wang Yu increased even further. F*ck, he had almost overlooked the fact that the owner of the other seal, the Twilight City Lord, was standing right in front of him…
What the h*ll? Both seals were in this brat's possession? Could this guy actually be a relative of the Soaring Dragon Gaming Studio's boss…
"But you don't have to worry about it, even if I can't estimate a price for it, we can still auction it," Old Nine hurriedly added.
"Ohhhh!"
Wang Yu nodded his head and spoke no further.
"Oh?" Upon seeing Wang Yu's attitude, Old Nine was stunned once again. What kind of reaction was that? Handing over such a precious item over to someone else and only replying with an "Oh", this was simply too casual!
"So are you still putting this item on auction?" Old Nine carefully asked.
"Yes… Let's sign the contract!" Wang Yu casually said.
"En, en, en!" Old Nine hurriedly nodded, signing and handing the contract over to Wang Yu along with an emblem.
After receiving the contract, Wang Yu gave it a quick glance before stuffing it into his pocket. Following which, he took the emblem and asked, "What is this?"
Old Nine said, "It is a token that represents the VIP status of our auction. With this, regardless of whether you are buying or selling an item at our auction, you will be able to receive a fifty-percent off our transaction fees."
For an auction, the transaction fees that they charge was 2 percent of the total price of the item. The item that Wang Yu had placed on auction was extremely valuable and thus, the transaction fee would naturally be sky-high. Being able to save 50 percent of the transaction fee would save him quite a lot of money.
"Oh, sounds good!" Wang Yu gave the emblem a look of satisfaction, before placing it on his chest.
Upon seeing Wang Yu accept the emblem, Old Nine said, "The auction starts at 8 o'clock tomorrow, remember to come on time!"
"I got it, I got it! If there's nothing else then we will make our move first." Wang Yu waved his hand and left the auction house along with Fearless.
Upon seeing the both of them leaving, Old Nine opened the Guild Channel and sent the two items that Wang Yu had placed for auction. He then said, "I have just received two extremely valuable items to be placed on auction today. Everyone, hurry up and go and promote it! The targets this time are the various large guilds, got it?"
After sending out the message, Old Nine opened up his friends list and sent a message to all of his big clients on the list, "There will be an extremely rare and valuable item placed on auction tomorrow, I urge everyone to come for it!"
Shortly after, someone replied, "I know, it's the Sky Dragon City's City Lord seal."
"Young Master Feng, how did you know?" Upon reading the reply, Old Nine asked gloomily.
"He he, of course I know! I will definitely get my hands on this seal!" Young Master Feng replied.
Upon seeing Young Master Feng's confidence in getting his hands on the item, Old Nine smiled in satisfaction and said, "Apart from the seal, there is another good item going on auction, Young Master Feng would be sure to like it."
"Oh? What other good stuff?" Upon hearing this, Young Master Feng was extremely curious about what this item was.
"A pet Black Dragon Egg!" With a smirk, Old Nine sent the attributes of the pet egg over.
Young Master Feng's response was still as bold as ever, "Save it for me. I'll go and get some money right now!"
"There will be many wealthy players tomorrow," Old Nine replied, slightly troubled.
Young Master Feng coldly smirked and said, "Bullsh*t, who can be wealthier than me?"
"That's true!" Old Nine smiled brilliantly, his scheme had worked perfectly.
…
"Where are we going now?" On the other side, after exiting the auction house, Wang Yu blankly asked.
In such a foreign land, Wang Yu felt slightly uncomfortable.
"Of course we're going back to Twilight City," Fearless answered while making his way in the direction of the port.
"I thought you said you wanted to do some promotion?" Wang Yu asked.
Fearless calmly replied, "Old Nine is a businessman. Seeing that things have developed thus far, Old Nine would certainly find people to do the promotion for us. We no longer have to bother ourselves over it."
"Oh, that's right!" Wang Yu nodded and said, "But the auction is tomorrow. What are we going back for?"
Freedom City wasn't exactly close to Twilight City. Each trip to and fro took over an hour to be completed. What was the point of going back now?
"Nonsense! Of course it's to submit our Quest!" Fearless replied.
"Quest? What Quest?" Wang Yu was momentarily stunned.
"Of course it's the Awakening Quest." Speaking of the Awakening Quest, Fearless glared at Wang Yu.
"Oh, oh, oh… so it's the Awakening Quest."
After hearing what Fearless said, Wang Yu finally recalled that his own Awakening Quest had yet to be submitted as well. After resting for a week, he had actually forgotten about it.
Thinking up till this point, Wang Yu asked, "Is your Awakening Quest supposed to be completed here?"
"That's right… Otherwise, how else would I have known that there would be an auction here?" Fearless coolly replied.
"That's not right, shouldn't you be doing your Awakening Quest in Twilight City instead?" Wang Yu asked, perplexed.
The people from Quan Zhen Sect were all currently doing their Awakening Quests. Apart from Wang Yu who was the only one with a hidden job class, everyone else's Awakening quest should be completed in their own capital city. Fearless did not have a hidden job class. Thus, it was strange that he had to travel so far in order to complete it.
It was fine if Wang Yu did not ask about it, but now that he brought it up, Fearless' face immediately turned black. He gloomily answered, "You still have the face to ask me this? Isn't it all because of you?"
"Me? What did I do?" Wang Yu asked, clueless.
Fearless replied, "Right now, Twilight City is a neutral faction and players with holy jobs like us are no longer protected by the God of Light. Therefore, we have to come to Freedom City to complete the quest."
"Oh, oh, oh… I see!" Wang Yu realised.
Freedom City was certainly a neutral city, and had relatively decent ties with both factions. For a neutral city like Twilight City that had provoked both factions, any holy job classed player from Twilight City would have to travel all the way to Freedom City if they wished to take up any class related quests.
It was no wonder that Fearless looked at Wang Yu so coldly.
After another half an hour of flight, Wang Yu and Fearless finally arrived back at Twilight City.
At the port, the both of them parted ways to look for their own instructors. Wang Yu headed to the small alley in which the Old Man Hermit stayed in.
In the small alley, Old Man Hermit laid down as still as a corpse as always. Wang Yu used the same old method to wake Hermit up from his sleep. Still in a daze, Old Man Hermit glanced at Wang Yu and said, "Oh, you've come. How was it? Did Dales give you any pointers?"
