Chapter 892: The value of the enchanting witch, the first appearance of dreamy ingredients
"Lorelei." The angry voice came from Asgard's box again, but this time it was not from Thor, but from Sif, the most rational of the three.
She drew her sword and pointed it at Lorelai on the auction table, "You are here."
"We haven't seen each other for hundreds of years. Sif, your way of greeting is really unique." Lorelai smiled, and at the same time gave Aaron in the box a playful look.
The master's clone was found so easily.
Aaron: Am I a clone?
Thoughtful body: Please bear with me, I have to act in a decent manner in front of my subordinates!
"Stop talking nonsense. I have captured all the other prisoners. Now you are the only one left."
"Prisoner?" Thor was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "She is a prisoner of Asgard?"
"The last time the dark elves invaded, they let all the prisoners in the dungeon escape. Lorelai was the most threatening one."
Volstagg blinked. "I don't feel much energy coming from her!"
"She is a charming witch. Her power has no effect on women, but it is difficult for men to resist her orders."
"Hiss! That's a bit scary."
"You want to catch me?" Lorelai smiled evilly and said provocatively, "I am Slytherin's maid now. You probably can't take me away."
Sif paused for a moment, but soon her attitude became firm, "I only know that you are a criminal in Asgard, and the dungeon is your final destination."
Just as she was about to jump off the box, Aaron quickly grabbed her and said, "Calm down, calm down!"
Asgard's support is quite important to the auction he organized, so he had to persuade Sif no matter what, at least not let her fight with Lorelai.
"Let me go."
"Don't forget Odin's orders and don't do anything unnecessary." Aaron decisively mentioned Odin. Sif clenched her fists in confusion and put away the sword in dissatisfaction.
"That's right. Now that we know where she is and who she works for, it's only a matter of time before we capture her. There's no rush."
Sif thought so too, but looking at Lorelai's smug smile, she couldn't help but feel angry. "Slytherin, Asgard needs an explanation."
"I'll give you the explanation later, but please give me some face now." The Thought Body said calmly, "Let this auction not start with a fight."
Sif took a deep breath and was about to speak when she was pulled back into her chair.
"Sister, isn't he just a prisoner? Why are you so angry?"
"You don't usually have such a bad temper." Volstagg laughed gloatingly, "How did Lorelai offend you?"
"She didn't offend me, she offended Heimdall."
"Heimdall?" Thor and Volstagg looked at each other. "Has he been charmed by Lorelai?"
"Heimdall opened the Rainbow Bridge for her, and was punished by Odin for it."
"That's not surprising." Volstagg said angrily. Heimdall is Sif's brother. Her brother was betrayed by a woman, so naturally his sister couldn't swallow this.
"Okay, this is just a small episode, please don't mind it." Lorelai said generously, "Also, let me introduce myself again.
I'm the auctioneer for this auction, Lorelai.
I am a former witch of Asgard and the exclusive maid of Master Slytherin. I will host the next auction."
As her voice fell, the thought body unsurprisingly received murderous looks from countless male friends, which undoubtedly confirmed the value of the enchanting witch.
The Thought Body rolled his eyes speechlessly. It is true that looks can kill, but those who had the courage to glare at him but not the courage to rob people obviously did not have that ability.
“I believe you have all read the auction list and know that most of the items in this auction are fantastic ingredients, but the charm of these ingredients cannot be understood from the auction list.
But next, you can watch and appreciate it up close.
If you are interested, you can participate in the auction. It doesn't matter if you don't have enough funds. You will have another chance after Lord Slytherin's company group is established."
"I won't say more. Please look at the first item of this auction."
Click!Click!Click!
The floor of the auction table slowly opened up, revealing a huge circular passage. Then a green plant tens of meters high slowly rose up, with a faint fragrance emanating from its emerald green leaves.
"What is this?"
"It's so big. Is this a food ingredient? Are you kidding me?"
"Corn? Millions of people can't finish eating this much corn!"
The auction ticket was public, and almost everyone present had a copy, but it only introduced a small part of the items. The visual impact of the real object could not be compared to that of a picture.
“Dear guests, this is the aristocrat among delicacies, BB corn.
To be honest, I was also very surprised when I first saw it, but I was not surprised by its taste." Lorelai said meaningfully, then looked at everyone, "Whoever has a weapon can try to attack.
Don't worry about damage. Mr. Slytherin has prepared two items for this auction, and the second one is the official item.
This is a gift for everyone. On the one hand, it allows everyone to truly understand its value, and on the other hand, it also builds a good reputation for the Slytherin Group that is about to be established."
The body of thought nodded seriously. As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the lamb.
Anyway, a baby corn costs less than 10 million yuan, so giving it away can be considered an investment, which is definitely a profitable business.
"It has to be me!" Rocket laughed, then took out the energy cannon from his back, "Let me confirm again, even if I blow it up, I don't have to pay for it, right?"
"of course."
"Then you're welcome."
Rocket pulled the trigger directly, and a blue energy bullet blasted out from the muzzle.
There was a loud bang, and when the fire and smoke dissipated, many people widened their eyes in shock.
There was only a dent on the emerald green skin, with some black burnt areas around it, but no other damage.
"Watford..." Rocket put away the energy cannon in a daze, "What quality of bulletproof vest is this? I must buy one."
"This is just corn husk. Its shelf life is not as long as corn kernels." Lorelai raised the corner of her mouth and looked at several Nova Corps soldiers not far away. "It's time to start."
Several soldiers looked at each other, drove the spaceship to the BB corn, and used a high-speed rotating machine to peel off the emerald green skin one by one.
A few minutes later, a giant corn cob more than ten stories high stood in its place.
Each corn kernel is as big as a water jar and exudes a light golden luster and an enticing aroma.
Then a vibration wave shot out from the spacecraft, and after a while, the corn cob exploded, and most of the fruits flew in all directions, with only a few remaining on the auction table.
Many people panicked. After all, if something this big fell down, it would inevitably cause serious injuries.
At this time, several spaceships pulled up a huge golden net, slowing down the flying speed of the corn kernels, allowing them to fall steadily to the ground and safely scatter in the hands of some guests.
"This is a gift from Mr. Slytherin to everyone here.
As for the remaining items on the auction table... they are consolation prizes, please wait for a moment." Lorelai smiled mysteriously and then winked at the soldiers present.
The soldiers immediately switched the ship's weapons, turning the guns into flamethrowers and gathering together all the corn kernels scattered on the auction table.
After being baked at an extremely uniform high temperature, the corn kernels reacted quickly, vibrating violently and expanding rapidly in the layers of heat waves.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Accompanied by loud explosions, golden light burst out, and golden popcorn fell from the sky and the ground like rain, covering an entire layer of the giant venue in the blink of an eye.
Someone couldn't resist the temptation of the aroma and picked up a popcorn and took a bite.
The texture, softer than cotton and the taste, sweeter than honey, immediately opened the door to a new world for him.
"It's delicious, really delicious. I've never eaten such a delicious dessert."
Others tried to taste it, but after just one bite they couldn't stop.
The sound of chewing could be heard one after another at the scene, and many people were eating while collecting the popcorn on the ground. Rocket Raccoon was the most active and directly took a sack to clear the surrounding area.
"It tastes really good." Volstagg said as he stuffed the popcorn into his mouth. "It's a good appetizer or dessert for a high-end banquet."
Thor nodded thoughtfully, then turned to look at Aaron, "I think I've eaten this on Earth before. Isn't this the Stark popcorn? The kind that costs ten dollars a popcorn?"
"Ha, ha, ha." Aaron smiled sheepishly, "You know, I'm an alchemist, and this profession is very expensive.
It was impossible for me to do anything evil for money, so I simply sold the goods I imported to Tony at a high price and made a small profit at the same time.
This is money I earned with my own ability, it is absolutely clean and I have a clear conscience. "
The corner of Thor's mouth twitched slightly, and he gave a thumbs up blankly, "You are amazing."
"How much did you pay for it?" Volstagg asked hurriedly.
"This is a commercial secret, but if your assets are less than 100 million, you probably can't buy it."
Volstagg paused, then turned to look at Sif, "Sif, lend me some money."
"No."
"If I miss this delicacy, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life."
Sif rolled her eyes, thinking that it was a mistake for His Majesty the God-King to send a foodie over here.
Although the people in other boxes were surprised, they were not so eager!
"Okay! How much money do you have now?"
Volstagg laughed awkwardly and held up two fingers.
"Two hundred million?"
"Two million."
“Why is there only this much?”
“Who gave me such a big appetite?”
Sif's face became even more speechless. "I can only lend you 100 million at most, no more."
Volstagg nodded, then looked at Thor eagerly.
"Uh... I really want to help you, but I don't have any money."
"Okay! Then it all depends on luck." Volstagg sighed helplessly. As for Aaron, he didn't even ask.
Even the Earth has only been out a few times, so how can there be any cosmic currency!
"It's not that there is no solution." Aaron suddenly said, "Don't forget, there is an Asgardian in this venue. He must be very rich."
"You don't mean Loki?" Thor said with a strange look on his face.
"Yes."
"No way, absolutely impossible.
Even if I starve to death or jump off here, I will never ask Loki for money."
"Then you can only wait until Slytherin's company is established and then find a way to buy it."
"Wait, don't you know them?
Ask them to sell some to me in advance and give me a discount.”
With only these two million in assets, even if you cut your losses, it won't work!
Aaron despised Volstagg's financial resources in his heart, then patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's impossible to give you a discount, but if you tell me my name, I can sell it to you at cost price."
"Ahem!" Lorelai cleared her throat, and the venue gradually quieted down.
At the same time, the second BB corn slowly rose from the circular passage in the center of the auction hall and stood on the auction hall like a building.
“BB Corn, the auction reserve price is 100 million Universe Coins, and each bid increase must not be less than 1 million Universe Coins.
Everyone, you can make your bids now."
"One hundred million." A yellow-skinned man wearing a crown immediately raised a sign.
"One hundred and one million."
"You have the nerve to ask for an extra million. I'll give you 200 million."
......
After the auction officially began, dozens of nobles and even royal families on the first floor began to compete.
They just looked at the finale of the Infinity Stones but didn't dare to think about it at all. However, they could still fight for this kind of unique fruits and vegetables.
It is the most delicious food you have ever eaten, with extremely high nutritional value. More importantly, the portion is large enough that it is worth buying it even if you buy it as food.
After just a few minutes, people on the second floor also joined in, and the price of BB corn quickly increased seven or eight times.
"A billion."
The collector's maid, Kalina, directly raised the sign and shouted out the price, and this price immediately stopped many people from buying.
They have money, but they can't spend it like collectors.
"1.5 billion." The maid of Sovereign's High Priest Ayesha shouted while holding up a sign.
"Are the Sovereigns also interested in this plant?" the collector laughed.
"Mr. Collector, don't you think that baby corn and the Sovereign are a good match?" Ayesha responded with a smile, "The nobility in food, the elite in life."
"I think it's worth collecting." The collector raised his placard without caring, "1.6 billion."
"Two billion." Ayesha raised the price neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Okay! Since the high priest values it so much, let's give it to Sovereign!" The collector shrugged and gave up bidding.
Anyway, he had just caught two kernels of corn, satisfying his collection needs.
What's more, this is just an auction. It's not the only one in the universe. There's no need to waste time.
"Two billion, is there anyone else who wants to bid?" Lorelai looked at everyone present and asked, "Two billion for the first time, two billion for the second time, two billion... for the last time, deal."
