Magic Journey from Hogwarts

Chapter 896: The feeling of being watched, the pricing of the Infinity Stones



Aaron and his thought body shuddered at the same time, as if they were being stared at by some ferocious beast.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Yak frowned.

"nothing."

"Boss, do you have a cold?" Jane looked at Aaron in confusion.

"Ah? Yes, I caught a cold." Aaron nodded with a dry laugh, "It will be fine in a few days."

"What's going on?" The thought body communicated with Aaron in his mind, "It's okay for me to be targeted. After all, I'm in the limelight now. I can't hide from everyone's eyes, but why are you being targeted?"

"Loki," Aaron said briefly, "I felt a little uneasy after he pronounced Gaius's last name."

"Is that so?" After thinking for a while, the thought body said, "Same time, same feeling.

We should be targeted by the same person, no, by the same group of people, and the reason... should be the same."

"Gaius's identity is the only reason why I am noticed." Aaron's face darkened and he said thoughtfully, "But you are also noticed for this reason, which is a bit unreasonable."

“Could it be that they figured out that I’m Aaron Gaius’s clone?

Impossible! The thought body is a magic that divides memory, body and even strength equally. Unless the main body actively cancels it, the clone is an independent life form.

In addition to our current status as the Fire Demon and the Lord of Half Dimension, even Odin cannot recognize us.

What's more, I haven't shown my face yet, and I only said a few words from beginning to end. What basis do they have to suspect that I am Gaius?"

“Only those who doubt your identity know this.” Aaron’s brain was working rapidly, and after a few seconds of silence, he said, “We have two advantages now.

First, this is just a suspicion, and they have no direct evidence to prove your identity.

Second, they don’t know that you are my clone, which means if one person is exposed, the other is safe.”

Thought Body:......

This feeling... seems familiar!

"I see. It's the clone! It has to sacrifice for the original body at the critical moment."

"Don't say it so harshly, even though it's true." Aaron was a little embarrassed, but soon he straightened his face, "If I'm not mistaken, the test will start soon. Maybe they will find you after the auction is over."

"It's possible that he'll find you."

“So after the auction is over, I will leave Tallinn immediately.

Even if I can't leave, I will hide. As long as they can't find me, they will naturally target you."

"Haha! As expected of me." The Thought Body said sarcastically, and then sighed softly, "I am now standing in front of the stage. It is not so easy to hide."

“Since we can’t hide away, we can only face it.

As long as you don't use magic, they may not be able to find out your identity."

"What if they find out?" The Thought Body couldn't help but worry. After all, he was being targeted for no reason even though he hadn't done anything. Who knew if they had other means!

“If there is no ill intention, don’t let them see your face, but if there is malicious intention then kill them!

"If they have bad intentions and we can't defeat them..." Aaron smiled bitterly, "then we can only run away with the money, and abandon the farm, ranch, and Universal Capsule Company.

If I had worse luck and failed to escape, then..."

"Then I can only consider it bad luck." The thought body rolled its eyes. "If this is really the worst case scenario, I promise that they will die without a burial place, and I won't let them have the chance to see their bodies alive or dead."

"Let's drink a bottle of Felicity first! It will improve your luck."

......

After cutting off the connection, Aaron took out a bottle of elixir from the space ring, opened the bottle and poured the light golden potion into his mouth.

After a while, Lorelai said solemnly: "The thinking time is over. Now the auction of the real rough stone will begin. Everyone can bid."

"one trillion."

"Two trillion."

"Five trillion."

......

As soon as Lorelai finished speaking, someone raised the auction board and made a bid.

The entire venue was in a frenzy, with bids coming one after another. The price increase was completely unreasonable, and in the blink of an eye it broke through the 50 trillion mark.

However, this price exceeded the psychological expectations of many people. Many people put down their auction cards and reluctantly joined the ranks of onlookers.

"One hundred trillion." Ebony Maw shouted while holding up the sign, directly raising the price to another level.

The entire venue was silent at first, and then burst into thunderous cheers.

As the universal currency of the entire universe, Cosmic Coin has a very high purchasing power. The total wealth of an ordinary person may not even reach six figures.

One hundred trillion cosmic coins are enough to buy a planet rich in resources.

They have broadened their horizons today, and it is no exaggeration to say that they have witnessed history.

"One hundred and fifty trillion." Ronan personally raised the auction board and shouted.

"Accusator, are you going to compete with the great Titan?" Ebony Maw said angrily.

"What's being competed at the auction is who has more money." Ronan retorted unyieldingly. Although the Kree planet is not very popular, it is still one of the most powerful and advanced civilizations in the universe, and it definitely has a lot of money.

As for offending Thanos, once he gets the Reality Stone, Thanos will pose no threat to him at all.

"One hundred and sixty trillion." Nova Supreme raised the sign calmly.

When Ronan saw that the bidder was from the Xandar, all his old hatreds and new ones suddenly came to his mind, "One hundred and eighty trillion."

"Two hundred trillion."

"Two hundred and ten trillion."

Nova frowned, "Two hundred and twenty trillion."

Ronan gritted his teeth in anger, and just as he was about to continue raising his sign, Colas hurriedly stopped him, "Master, our funds have been..."

Ronan shook his arm off, "Two hundred and fifty trillion."

"Master." Korlas looked at him with tears in his eyes. "This is all the money our home planet has provided us. Even the military expenses for the next and next battles have been advanced."

"Do you want me to sit back and watch Xandar get the Infinity Stones?" Ronan cursed viciously, "If they succeed, how will I avenge my father and grandfather? The countless Kree who died because of Xandar will also be disappointed."

Colas was speechless and retreated silently.

"Ronan has spent a huge sum of money!" Nova Supreme said solemnly, "Commander Thrall, how much funds can Xandar still mobilize?"

"Forty trillion at most, that's the limit."

Nova Supreme frowned, but Lorelai didn't give her time to react. "Two hundred and fifty trillion for the first time, two hundred and fifty trillion for the second time, two hundred and fifty trillion..."

"Twenty-six trillion." Supreme Novan shouted hurriedly, and only by mortgaging all the funds that could be mobilized from Xandar did he barely prevent Lorelei from falling.

"Nova Supreme, this..." Sal looked at her hesitantly, "Isn't this too impulsive?

Ronan only offered 250 trillion, so we only need to offer 1 trillion more than him. There is no need to bet everything at once, right?"

"We must stop Ronan from getting the Reality Stone at all costs, otherwise Xandar will definitely enter the countdown to doomsday."

“Nova Supreme offered 260 trillion, an unprecedented amount of money!

Is there anyone who offers a higher price? No?

Okay, then two hundred and sixty trillion first times..."

"Two hundred and sixty-one trillion." Ronan raised the price tag in anger. "Xandar will never get the Infinity Stones."

Lorelai rolled her eyes in disdain, "Accuser of Kree, according to accounting investigations, the funds you can mobilize now do not even reach 261 trillion.

Mr. Slytherin will not accept a false offer."

"Why do you say I can't produce it? What evidence do you have?" Ronan said harshly. He didn't believe that Lorelai could check the accounts on the spot.

"Lorelai doesn't have the ability to check accounts, but I do." Ramon looked at him playfully and said, "The limit of Kree is 250 trillion, right?

Unfortunately, the limit of Xandar is 260 trillion, so..."

"I understand." Lorelai smiled, "Two hundred and sixty trillion for the first time, two hundred and sixty trillion for the second time..."

Lorelai had a beautiful voice, but it was extremely jarring to Ronan.

"and many more."

"Does the accuser have any further questions?"

Ronan took a deep breath and turned to look at Thanos, "Thanos."

"Is there something wrong, kid?" Thanos looked at him with a smile.

"Help me this time, and I'll pay you back and owe you a favor."

"Your favor?" Thanos shook his head disdainfully, "Your favor is worthless to me.

But if you're willing to do me a favor, I wouldn't mind doing you a small favor."

Nova Supreme's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly urged: "Ms. Lorelai, now is not the right time to let everyone wait any longer!"

"Okay, two hundred and sixty trillion third..."

"Two hundred and seventy trillion." Ronan raised his sign in time to interrupt Lorelai, then looked at Thanos with frustration, "I agree to your terms."

"very good."

Ronan didn't ask what it was about, and Thanos tacitly didn't mention it. He just asked Ebony Maw to send all the funds on hand to Ronan.

"Two hundred and seventy trillion." Lorelai looked at Nova Supreme with a smile, "Is there no higher number? If not..."

"Three hundred trillion." Nova Supreme raised the auction board calmly. "As Ramon said, Xandar's limit is two hundred and sixty trillion. Fortunately, Xandar has a good reputation in the universe. Many people who hope for peace are willing to lend a helping hand to Xandar."

"Damn it." Ronan slammed the table hard. "If anyone dares to help Xandar, I will destroy his planet."

"Three hundred and twenty trillion."

"Three hundred and twenty-one trillion."

"Three hundred and twenty-two trillion."

......

The Kree and Xandar are locked in a tug-of-war, with neither side willing to give in.

But the price increase was getting smaller and smaller. Every time I raised the sign, it felt like I was lifting a heavy burden. It was extremely difficult.

"Three hundred and fifty trillion." Ronan shouted, offering the highest price he could offer.

"Three hundred and fifty trillion and one hundred and fifty thousand." It seemed as if Nova Supreme had used up his last bit of strength. After he made his bid, the auction card in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously.

After Ronan gets the Reality Stone, he will definitely continue to invade and will be able to recover his costs in a short period of time.

But she is not Ronan, and she would never use the Reality Stone to do such a thing.

On the contrary, Xandar will also take on the responsibility of protecting the Reality Stone, and at most use the power of the Reality Stone to develop Xandar's technology.

But if this happens, Xandar's finances will fall into a slump, and it will also be heavily in debt, and it will not be able to recover in a short period of time.

But now she had no other choice. As one of the few people who understood the destructive power of the Infinity Stones, she could not allow Ronan, who had a huge hatred for Xandar, to get it.

boom! boom! boom!

Ronan got so angry that he swung the hammer and smashed the floor and walls of the box to pieces.

“I don’t accept it, I will never accept this outcome.

Korlas, how much is our spaceship worth?"

"Master, you..."

"Three hundred and fifty trillion and one hundred and fifty thousand for the first time..."

Lorelai's voice made Ronan's heart sink to the bottom, "Stop talking nonsense, just speak."

“It’s really hard to say for sure. The warships on the Kree planet are both good and bad, and it’s very difficult to estimate their value.

And even if we can sell the spacecraft, won't Xandar be able to do the same?"

"Three hundred and fifty trillion and one hundred and fifty thousand for the second time..."

"I can't control that much."

"Three hundred and sixty trillion."

Just as Ronan was about to raise his sign, a woman's voice interrupted him.

Turning around, I saw the collector's maid holding up an auction sign, "My master, Tanlia Tiwan is willing to bid 360 trillion."

Hearing this, Ronan and Nova Supreme both breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as the Reality Stone doesn't fall into Nova (Ronan)'s hands, the ending wouldn't be bad.

Moreover, both parties can save money and there will be no financial problems.

Lorelai also showed a smile that said "as expected", as if everything was under control.

"Three hundred and sixty trillion the first time, three hundred and sixty trillion the second time, and three hundred and sixty trillion the third time."

"make a deal."

As the words fell, the auction hammer slammed heavily on the table.

"Congratulations to the collector from the Land of Nothingness for winning the Reality Stone at a high price of 360 trillion."

The Collector stood up slowly and placed a black card on the table. "This card contains a limit of 360 trillion cosmic coins, which can be used on any planet.

Can you give me the Reality Stones now? The Infinity Stones are still worth looking forward to."

The thought entity nodded, then snapped his fingers, and a blood-red crystal appeared at his fingertips.

The collector was stunned for a moment, looking blankly at the cube flashing red light on the auction table, then looking at the red crystal in the hand of the object of thought. It was obvious which one was real and which one was fake.

"Hahahaha! Interesting, very interesting.

Is that cube really fake?"

"I have to be prepared for unexpected situations! If some powerful customer shamelessly comes up to rob me, then let him do it. As long as the items used for trading are real, that's all that matters."

"That makes sense." The collector nodded. "Then we'll exchange the money for the goods."

"I think so too."
