Chapter 127

The scabbard of the longsword was gilded in gold with exquisite patterns carved on it. The hilt was black and the sword was about 1.5 meters long.

Gu Ding sneaked a peek at Biggie from the side and noticed that he was staring at the longsword without moving. Gu Ding immediately had an idea. He decided to help Biggie bid for the sword.

"I'm sure everyone has heard of the name of this sword. It's called Darkness." The female auctioneer's expression was slightly unnatural when she said the name.

The expressions of those who were interested in the sword changed immediately when they heard the name.

"That's right, this is the legendary cursed sword." The female auctioneer continued to explain, "Many of you might not know where this sword came from. Let me explain.

"The first owner of this sword was a demigod in ancient times. Even with the demigod's strength, his life force was sucked away by this sword and he died.

"After that, this sword passed through many hands. Each owner died due to the depletion of their life force. It was only later that people discovered the curse on this sword.

"It has been passed down to the present day. The previous owner of this sword was Frenzied Sword Viscount from Faye Cosmic Nation. When he gave up on this sword, he had less than a hundred years of life left."

Frenzied Sword Viscount was a Rank 12 Gene Body powerhouse. In Faye Cosmic Nation, he was a national treasure powerhouse. He had also served as a marshal in the Army. Anyone who was granted a title by the Federal Government was at least a Rank 12 Gene Body powerhouse. Those who were granted the title of viscount were the best among the Rank 12 Gene Body powerhouses.

The auctioneer's explanation was a little shocking. Gu Ding, who had planned to help Biggie bid for the longsword, completely lost interest.

Whether it was the legendary demigod or Frenzied Sword Viscount, they were both much more powerful than Biggie. If even these people could not get rid of the curse, Biggie would not be able to do it either.

"However, this sword will only absorb the life force of its user when it's being used. Moreover, it will increase the user's combat effectiveness by three to ten times. The most irresistible thing is that this sword is said to contain the sword enlightenment left behind by its first owner. Including the Frenzied Blade Viscount, more than one person had verified the authenticity of the statement. Opportunity and danger always coexist. Therefore, interested buyers can bid. The base price of this saber is 5 billion Star Coins, and each increment must be no less than 500 million Star Coins. "After the female auctioneer finished explaining the curse of this saber, she also mentioned the advantages of this saber. As for the curse, neither she nor the organizer was willing to mention it. However, in the auction industry, they had to be honest with the bidders. They could not hide anything to avoid disputes in the future.

"Captain, can you help me buy this sword?" Biggie turned to look at Gu Ding.

"Big guy, don't be stupid. This thing is cursed. Didn't you hear what the auctioneer said? Even Demigods can't avoid it. You'll be sucked dry in a few days. " Lilliath quickly tried to dissuade him. She had always chosen to stay away from such dangerous items.

"Biggie, I also don't think this saber is suitable for you." Gu Ding did not want to reject Biggie's request, but he also felt that this saber was too evil. "Sucking life force. This kind of curse sounds creepy. Moreover, there are so many powerhouses who have died because of it."

Biggie lowered his head. From the looks of it, he really did not want to give up.

"Gu Ding, help him buy it," Neptune suddenly said. "To a certain extent, the curse is also a special kind of energy restriction. If my unlocking authority is raised to the highest level, I should be able to lift it. Even if I can't raise my unlocking authority in the short term, I still have a lot of information about curses in my database. I can also look for ways to lift this curse. Before that, try to get him to use this saber less, or even not use it. "

"Just now, Neptune said that he'll find a way to lift the curse of this saber. I can help you buy it, but you have to promise that before the curse is lifted, you won't use this saber as much as possible. " Generally speaking, Neptune's suggestions were carefully considered. Since he thought it was possible to buy it, Gu Ding did not have too many doubts.

At this time, there were not many people participating in the bidding. Moreover, each increase was at the minimum limit of 500 million, and the price had only risen to 6.5 billion.

"7 billion!" Gu Ding pressed the bidding button and announced his price.

"7.5 billion!" Not long after Gu Ding pressed the bidding button, someone else on the other side raised the price.

Gu Ding frowned and pressed the bidding button again. "9 billion!"

"9 billion! Will this be our final price? " The female auctioneer continued to tempt the crowd with her words. "Even if you don't use this saber, it's a good choice to take it back as a collector's item. If you don't use it, you won't be cursed at all, so everyone can rest assured. Is there anyone willing to bid a higher price? "

After the female auctioneer's bewitchment, the bidding price increased again. This time, the price was directly raised to 10 billion.

Gu Ding frowned again. He asked Neptune in a low voice, "Is there a rule that I have to pay on the day of the auction?"

"No, you just have to pay when you pick up the item. After today's auction is over, a staff member will contact you. You can tell them that you won't be picking up the item today. They won't have to worry about you running away because you have a record as a seller. They know that you can afford it. "Neptune had already read the rules of the auction and knew the process very well.

"20 billion!" Gu Ding did not want to waste time with the other party. He immediately doubled the price.

The auctioneer was stunned when she heard the bid. She did not expect anyone to be so eager to get their hands on the saber. However, she quickly reacted. "A bidder has directly increased the price by 10 billion Star Credits. The current price has been raised to 20 billion Star Credits. Is there anyone who wants to bid a higher price? 20 billion Star Credits going once … 20 billion Star Credits going twice … If there are still no objections, then 20 billion Star Credits going thrice … sold! "

When Biggie heard the word 'sold', he was a little excited.

"Don't get too excited yet. I don't think we'll be able to pick up the saber today. So far, we've only sold one crystal ball. Even if someone picks up the crystal ball today, including the money we have on us, the total is less than 12 billion Star Credits. We'll have to wait for the other items to be auctioned off before we can pay for it, "Gu Ding said as he patted Biggie on the shoulder.

"Mm." Biggie nodded and did not raise any objections.

The auction continued, and the eight-hour auction passed quickly. Including the crystal ball at the beginning, a total of four items that Gu Ding had consigned were sold. Every time, the buyers were from the same private room, and they were very generous with their money.

Gu Ding sold four items for a total of 28 billion Star Credits. As soon as the auction was over, a staff member came to find Gu Ding.

"Sir, the four items that you consigned have been picked up by the buyers. The total is 28 billion Star Credits. We will charge a 5% handling fee. Your account has a total of 26.6 billion Star Credits. You still have one item that you have yet to claim. Would you like to claim it now? "

"The people in the private room moved fast." Gu Ding grinned. "Come on, let's go get the saber!"
