Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 967: Inside the Auction House, Secret Observation

"Finally I got in."

Shantiao took off the "medal" on his chest, folded the metal-looking medal in half and stuffed it into his pocket.

Of course, this medal was drawn by Titmouse, but he is not a member of the Siren Kingdom Auction House.

However, as a cartoonist whose 'profession' is 'painter' and who has even reached the 'second level', Yamatsu's painting skills can certainly be called 'excellent'.

This excellent painting skill was enough to enable him to draw a realistic-looking picture with shadows and a "membership badge" sticker to be placed on his chest.

Although you can still find clues if you look closely, it is enough to deceive the security guards at the door who are not very serious.

After all, this is just an auction house, not a palace or a confidential agency.

The conflict between Kuang Dao and the Siren just now was also to buy time for Shan Que.

Walking inside the auction house, Kuang Dao was amazed at the "precious exhibits" displayed in glass cabinets on both sides of the hall.

"As expected of the top auction house in the Siren King's capital, there are so many good things traded here."

What can be placed in this hall are basically the top collections traded in the past, which are "replicas" with only the appearance created by the sirens using ancient techniques.

But even if they are just "replicas", the craftsmanship and materials used in these things make them very expensive and valuable.

Shantiao's eyes also swept over the fakes and nodded slightly. "After all, the sirens are the most restless of the several races in the outer sea. They are always making small moves. It's natural that they have a lot of good things."

The two stood in the hall. The auction had not started yet, and most of the people participating in the auction were resting in their own boxes. The hall was empty with almost no one.

There were only a few people like Shantiao and Kuangdao, who were obviously humans, sea dwellers and siren nobles who came to the Siren King's capital for the first time. They were walking around in the hall and looking at the imitation samples on display.

After all, humans and underwater people have a very bad relationship with sirens, and the sirens have little contact with sirens. Unless it is a festival celebration like the Tidewalk Festival, there is no chance for them to come to the Siren King's Capital, let alone come to this auction house.

So they were also very curious about the "collections" in the hands of the sirens - most of the high-value things in this world, either top-notch ingredients or small collections excavated from the sites of various ancient civilizations.

No matter which one, they are not like the "antiques" on the earth that only have ornamental value, but have strong "practical value".

Ingredients can be used for trading, establishing connections with the God's Clan, or even finding great chefs to make dishes that can enhance the strength of top powerhouses.

Most of the small collections of ancient civilizations have their own unique uses.

The most famous are the "Nine Treasures of Jingxu", which were once the treasures of various races, but now they have all been lost.

Therefore, this is a rare opportunity for humans, underwater people and sirens to see what these samples are, which can also be regarded as an assessment of the strength of the sirens. Although those that can be exhibited are definitely not secret, it is good to have some understanding.

However, for Shantiao and Kuangdao, they had no interest in the natives and fakes present.

After all, their main goal is to prevent the "plunderers" from collecting the "mermaid's tears"

Even if the "Lost Treasure" is required to clear the game, it will not be exhibited here.

Although the "Lost Treasures" are not as valuable as the collections and delicacies of the "Current Treasures" level, they are also relatively rare items.

Because... only the special collections from the center of the "Lost Kingdom", which are suspected to be produced in the ruins where Mu Continent was once located, can be called "Lost Treasures".

Because the ruins of the Lost Kingdom are not open to the public, these collections are often accidentally triggered by spatial disturbances, inexplicably carried out of the ruins by ocean currents and tides, and drifted onto the seabed with the tide.

In other words, most of these things can only be picked up by chance - although because it has been so long, there are still many handed down from generation to generation, but when distributed among the vast sea area of ​​Jingxu and the large population of eight races, it is still something that many nobles would brag about if they got one.

In an ordinary auction, the "Lost Treasure" would definitely be the highlight; and today is the "Tide of the Past" auction, so naturally there will be a few more items.

For example, Cress's [Lost Heart] is such a thing.

So even though Kuang Dao and Shan Que were standing in the exhibition hall, they only glanced at the few scattered people on the scene and confirmed that there seemed to be no one who met the target among the humans, and they all looked like natives at first glance.

Those two 'predators' weren't present at the scene - that was also to be expected.

Shantiao shook his head and said regretfully, "It seems that those two guys should be staying in their own private room..."

Kuang Dao frowned: "What should we do then? There are so many private rooms here, are we going to search each one by one?"

"Of course it's impossible. We sneaked in anyway. If we do something suspicious like that again, we'll definitely be kicked out," Shantiao analyzed. "So, the best thing to do is wait... wait until the auction starts. They'll naturally show up then."

"That's the only way. Should we fight at the auction? The other party seems to have more financial resources than us," said Kuang Dao, stroking his chin. "If we go through the bidding process properly, we definitely won't be able to win... Unless you paint some fakes and sell them?"

"Forget it. They have senior appraisers, and the guys at Jingxu aren't fools. My little tricks won't fool a professional organization like that," Shanque said. "But it's not very convenient to act in this venue... Let's lock on to those two guys at the auction, follow them outside, and then wait for an opportunity to strike."

"Wow, tailing and bludgeoning someone to steal something?" Kuang Dao rubbed his hands. "I feel like we're more like the 'plunderers'... Tsk tsk, that's what they call giving someone a taste of their own medicine!"

Shanque didn't complain about the inexplicably excited Kuang Dao, but just shook his head: "Okay, let's just take a look around first, don't draw too much attention."

"understand!"

The two began to read the instructions under the glass display cases like other humans.

Just when Shanque and Kuangdao had just integrated into the environment, they saw a mermaid with very high-end clothes, who was probably the director of the auction house, leading two human women out from a corridor on the side.

Shanque and Kuangdao looked at the two of them, calmly averted their gazes and lowered their heads, pretending to be carefully studying the collection in front of them.

"Chickadee, these two..."

Kuang Dao asked in a low voice.

The tit nodded.

"Well, it should be them."
