Chapter 517 Entering the Netherworld Tower
Chapter 517 Entering the Netherworld Tower
At a glance, there were only a few middle-aged men with big bellies sitting there. They looked like they had eaten too much and had nothing to do, so they just came here to digest their food.
"It's a pity that the prince didn't sleep last night to collect spirit stones. He was afraid that there would be too many people today and he didn't prepare enough spirit stones, so he couldn't take the Netherworld Order. I didn't expect that there would be only a few people."
Xiao Yin kindly reminded him, "Don't be too confident."
Ruan Xihe also nodded, "That's right."
She had only been in Nether City for two or three days, but she had already witnessed how outrageous the prices and consumption capacity were in Nether City.
The auction process here is not much different from that outside.
When the first few items were presented, the people sitting below were a little uninterested, but as soon as the Netherworld Order was presented, it attracted the attention of the entire audience.
After the Netherworld Order was introduced, there were exclamations from the audience.
"This time, there is actually a Netherworld Order?"
“Hahaha, now those who didn’t come to the auction are at a disadvantage. No one expected that there would be a Netherworld Order at the auction today.”
"Thank goodness that the Netherworld Auction doesn't usually advertise, so it all depends on luck what gets auctioned. Otherwise, if everyone knew there was a Netherworld Order this time, wouldn't everyone be trying their best to come?"
"Great, there aren't many people this time, so I have a chance."
"..."
The intermittent noises from downstairs were carried to the small private room on the second floor, and Ruan Xihe and his friends heard it clearly.
I really didn't expect that there weren't many people here today. It was actually their luck.
But fewer people doesn't mean the price will be lower.
Because it allows entry to the Netherworld Tower, the Netherworld Order is very popular. In the end, the friends spent a lot of money to finally get the Netherworld Order.
Of course, in the end the auctioneer also comforted those who didn’t win the bid.
When they heard that the Netherworld Order would appear at auctions from time to time in the future, the emotions of those people were slightly calmed down.
Of course, the auctioneer was not just trying to comfort them, but more because the auction was too quiet and he wanted to attract people.
Because the auctioneer had already said when introducing the Netherworld Order that as long as you have the Netherworld Order, you can enter the Netherworld Tower at any time.
So after Ruan Xi and the others got the Netherworld Order, they did not stay for long and left the auction.
After they left, behind the window of the highest building of the auction, a girl in white watched them leave with a complicated look in her eyes.
"Why? You've been with your junior brothers and sisters for a while, and you've developed feelings for them?"
Another woman wearing a butterfly mask came forward, smiled teasingly, and asked the woman in white.
The girl in white shook her head and looked away. "Feelings? I only get along with them so that I can better complete the task assigned to me by the master. Now I am just a little surprised that they can actually cross such a long distance and find this place."
As she spoke, the girl in white had a faint smile on her face.
If Ruan Xihe and the others were here, they would definitely recognize this person as their senior sister Liu Ruyu and her signature smile.
The woman wearing the butterfly mask snorted lightly and did not believe Liu Ruyu's words at all.
"If you were really like what you said, you wouldn't have told them the news of the Netherworld Order without my knowledge."
"You know?" Liu Ruyu paused, "Then what about the master?"
"I didn't report this to the master, but given the master's ability, he should have known about it long ago without me saying anything."
Liu Ruyu lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
After a moment, she resolutely walked out of the house.
The girl wearing the butterfly mask looked back at her and asked, "What are you doing?"
Liu Ruyu stopped and did not answer.
Three seconds later, she was out the door, leaving it open, and her answer came from outside.
"Please forgive me."
"Heh..." The girl wearing the butterfly mask chuckled with an ambiguous tone when she heard that.
She leaned lazily against the window, her arms folded across her chest, her eyes looking outside through the window, but her eyes were not focused, and she seemed a little absent-minded.
"With the Master's methods, if he wanted to punish you, you would have been beheaded the moment you passed the message. How could you have waited until today in peace?"
"Besides, my little Yu'er, how do you know that the master doesn't want to use you to tell them the news..."
She murmured softly, not knowing to whom she was talking.
......
When Ruan Xihe was leaving the auction, she noticed someone staring at them from behind. She stopped and looked back.
"What's wrong?" Shen Yan paused and stopped as she did.
"It's okay." Ruan Xihe retracted his gaze and smiled, "Let's go to the Netherworld Tower."
There was no malice or murderous intent in this gaze, and she subconsciously thought that it was the person who had passed the message to them.
Since that person didn't want to show up, she didn't want to delve into it.
Shen Yan nodded, frowned and looked back, but found nothing.
With the Netherworld Order, they entered the Netherworld Tower smoothly. But when they asked to see the Lord of the Netherworld, they were told that only one person could see him.
Moreover, this person cannot meet the city lord immediately. He has to pass the test set by the city lord.
Without even thinking about it, the friends let Ruan Xihe go.
The reason is simple, firstly because she is the person who is most closely related to the prophecy.
The second reason is that if the city lord has any test, she has a full-level talent and should have a higher chance of passing it than other friends.
Ruan Xihe was not pretentious either.
She knew that her friends also wanted to meet the legendary Lord of the Netherworld, but given the current situation, it was more appropriate for her to go.
Because she thought of the formation outside the city.
If the formation was set up by the Lord of the Netherworld City, and the test at that time was about the formation, no one in the Lingyun team would be able to do it except her.
After confirming everything, the friends were taken by the people from the Nether Tower to another room to wait for her.
Ruan Xihe followed a young man up the stairs of the Netherworld Tower and reached the top floor.
"The city lord is inside."
After the boy finished speaking, he went downstairs with a thump.
Ruan Xihe looked at the half-open door at the stairs, and couldn't help but wonder what the so-called test was.
She took a step forward and opened the door.
There is a lot of space behind the door.
Although there are not many decorations in the room, there are layers of gauze hanging from the ceiling, which adds a sense of fantasy to the room.
There is a screen in the middle of the room.
Through the layers of gauze, Ruan Xihe could vaguely see a figure behind the screen.
She reached out and pushed aside the gauze, walked behind the screen, but the previous figure was gone. She looked around and found another screen in front of her.
And the previous figure appeared again behind the second screen.
She walked over, and just like the first time, the figure was gone, but there was a screen.
Ruan Xihe thought of something instantly.
