Ch26 – [Black Knight XXVI]
The situation of the auction booth was projected on a huge screen, and a virtual image was generated on the flying platform occupied by the participants.
The control panel rose from the platform floor, and the round cub that had nested well in the arms of the youth moved its silver tail, jumped onto the control panel and occupied the corner position.
Many businessmen also wanted to see what the Zergs would bid for at the auction. In theory, all the senior members of the various ethnic groups who participated in this auction should be aiming for the final auction items, They would not do much, but the Zergs had forcefully broken their idea.
In front of the auction of some rare materials, all kinds of high-level ethnic groups had bid but there were no movements from the Zergs. Instead, they were interested in plants and flowers that were rare but not of great practical value, such as the Credi Flame, which was now an endangered plant.
On the control board, the Zerg cub crouched in the upper right corner squinted and gazed at the virtual image. It was a fantastic flower cultivated in a special vessel, like a burning flame in the distance.
There was no hesitation, the second the image appeared, the cub flicked its silver tail gently and the tip of its tail touched the bidding button.
The reason for the gentle flick was that the control panel was too fragile for Alves. The cub form was only physical, and his actual strength had not declined. It was not clear what the consequences of the uncontrollable force would be.
The bidder’s brand appeared on the information screen of each participant, and the goblin who presided over the auction also made a public announcement. At this time, the whole auction house was basically quiet.
It was just an ornament. Although it was really rare, they won’t compete with the Zergs for it. Especially the races that were trying to contact the Zergs recently would not compete with the Zergs in ornaments which was not important.
In addition to flowers and plants, people of all races in the auction house saw that the Zergs were also keen on bidding for some spheres. These two hobbies could be said to be very fascinating.
Sitting on the shoulder of a Tak Zerg with no backrest, Gu Huai usually leaned his body against the head of the Tak Zerg.
But it was always a pleasure to receive gifts full of heart. Gu Huai would take them and keep them carefully when the Zergs sent the toys to him. The Zergs who liked to send toys were happy when he received them. As a result, it had become an uninterrupted cycle over time…
Just bought more than a dozen, they had more room. The Zergs who wanted to save a room of toys for their king felt that the number was very small, but they still stopped when the youth said so.
At this auction, you could buy rare flowers that were endangered species all over the planet, but it was not enough to use them as a gift. Alves, who had returned to his youth’s arms, was thinking about this question.
Tuther’s soil was not suitable for plants outside the Tamu tree. In the past, Alves, the original owner of the planet, did not think it was a problem. There was a resource based planet in the vicinity, and Tuther had plenty of resources in all respects.
But the young zerg like flowers. Let Tuther grow flowers as a gift to be sufficient. He didn’t know what the cub in his arms was thinking about. The silver tail moved, making Gu Huai unable to hold his hand and he reached out and touched it. Of course, his hand was grabbed by the tail.
“Chirp.” The round Cub with its tail around the young man’s fingers fluttered its wings, resting on the youth with eyes squinted in satisfaction.
The Mino Star’s annual Sieser Auction every decade was indeed a bizarre thing. Ancient treasures unearthed from lost civilizations, machine armor space buttons retrieved from battlefields of the old era, and even design drawings of new weapons could be auctioned.
However, Gu Huai did not really need any of these things, just because he was interested in the auction itself, so he came to join in on the festival. And the armory of the Zergs were sophisticated enough. Although the technological level of the Goblins was known across the stars, Gu Huai still felt that the new weapons designed by the other may not be comparable to the existing weapons of the Zergs.
The competition for the designs was a small climax in the auction. However, when the atmosphere was warm, the reaction from the Zergs side could not be seen with the naked eye.
It was not necessary to say whether a drawing could be bought or not. Most importantly, it was impossible for their king to enjoy such toys. Above was the spiritual journey of the Zerg.
Originally intending to find out what type of goods the Zergs were interested in at the auction, the businessmen of all ethnic groups who would have liked to try to trade with them in the future were basically in a state of confusion now, and they felt that they had no idea about the Zergs at all.
For any auction, the more it went on, the more exotic the auction items were, and the Sieser auction was no exception. After all the items in front of the auction were successfully completed, it was finally time for several items to be exhibited together.
“Class A planet.” Looking at a handover agreement on display, Aljer raised his hand and touched his chin. He was thinking about the coordinates of the planet.
The name of the planet was Worstein, rated A. To be honest, this level of planet was not enough to be the finale of the Sieser auction, but the planet had a special value to make it meet this requirement.
There was a lost civilization on this planet, the “sunken” region of the once prosperous Morrison Empire in the old era.
This handover agreement was the main goal of the general’s trip.
The humans and the Zergs seats were far apart, but even at this distance, General Shen Qiu could still see two youngsters who were just too happy to stay with the Zergs raise their hands and give him a reassuring gesture.
The Zergs were not really interested in the planet. There was more than one item on display. They’d like to know what the last one would be. If it was funny, they would buy it for their king.
Previous worries forgotten, General Shen Qiu successfully completed his mission as planned. During this period, the Zergs did not participate in the competition for the planet at all, and did not even intend to raise the price.
“Now I want to introduce the last item of the auction to the guests.” Standing in front of the auction booth, the short goblin pressed the corresponding device button, and a black crystal ring, which was so exquisitely carved, floated up on the booth.
The next sentence from the goblin auctioneer warmed up the atmosphere of the auction house. “It’s a miniature device that can store power. The main material was found by chance by the exploratory fleet. It belongs to an unknown material. The manufacturer made it that made it, Mino’s chief technician.”
The secret keeping work of the auction was the best. Except for the goblin who presided over the auction, all the participants present knew nothing about the auction.
When the atmosphere reached its peak, the auctioneer was ready to knock down the open bidding button, but at the moment of the crisp sound, the lights of the whole auction house were completely dimmed. And in the next second, the deafening explosion sounded on the top floor of the auction house.
“Boom-”
The huge dome of the auction house was blown open, and light penetrated. Through the blasted holes, the various races in the auction house now saw ice-cold warships, all marked with the symbol of the Penn Empire, sitting overhead.
The Penn Empire was founded by a minority goblin, independent of the goblin’s main empire, Suttasha, and there were numerous new and old hatred between the two. The day of the Sieser Auction was chosen to launch a general attack. The Penn Empire’s long planned attack was entirely based on the idea of blocking the Suttasha Empire.
The principle of forbidding force and being responsible for the personal safety of all guests, which Mino, a famous interstellar trading planet, had been pursuing, had become a joke since the casualties of participants of all races in the auction, especially at the top of some races.
In this way, not only Mino star, but also all the trading planets of the Suttasha Empire would be immeasurably affected.
The plan was not a problem, and the minority goblins of the Penn Empire were mad and did not care to offend the Star races.
It was just that they missed a point. The most ferocious race in the whole planet was now on this planet. Neither the king of this ferocious race nor his knight were to be offended.
