Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 888: Chapter 516: The Mandrake That Devours the Stars

Ellie was stunned by the scene in front of her but quickly realized a stranger she had never seen before had lent her a hand.

“Thank you, young master!”

Ellie tossed aside the dagger and followed Logan.

She didn’t know why she chose to follow Logan, but facing her life-saver, if there was anything she could do to help, she should be able to lend a hand.

Her curiosity persisted until Logan took Little White and left the scene of the incident.

Seeing that Ellie was still following him, Logan turned his head in confusion.

...

“Go home, why are you following me?”

Ellie was startled; she had thought that Logan’s intervention meant he needed her to do something.

“Young master, don’t you need my help with anything…”

“What can you do for me? Really, just go back already.”

Logan chuckled.

Ellie suddenly realized that without any money or strength, even if Logan wanted her to do something, she couldn’t.

“Alright, thank you, young master… May I ask your name?”

“My surname is Luo, and my name is Logan.”

…

After Ellie left, Logan wandered around and suddenly noticed an advertisement for a large-scale auction.

“Ladies and gentlemen, take a look! Our auction has many collectors’ items, and you will surely find something you like.”

“The auction will be divided into two sections, one where bids can be placed with money, and the other requires Spirit Stones! Don’t miss out!”

Seeing that the auction’s advertisement had done a great job presenting its items, Logan stroked his chin.

“What do you think, Little White? Do you want to see what interesting items they have this time?”

Little White glanced at his candied hawthorn stick and curled his lip, showing no interest in the auction promoter.

Logan grimaced; he had wanted to take Little White with him, but seeing that Little White was so disinterested, perhaps it was better to go alone.

Before Logan could speak, Little White had already read his thoughts.

“If you want to go, just go. I’m genuinely not interested in that auction. Instead of boringly watching other people bid, I’d rather eat more food.”

Watching Little White happily bite into another candied hawthorn, a smile spread across Logan’s face.

“Then I’ll go by myself.”

The two of them joked and left without noticing the burly man following them from afar.

The man looked around cautiously, afraid of being discovered by Logan.

Having seen them stay in front of the auction promoter for a long time and overhearing something about going to the auction, he was certain they were intending to buy something at the auction.

He quickly turned and went back to report this to Dwayne Johnson.

Upon learning that Logan was going to bid on items at the auction, Dwayne Johnson’s fist clenched and slammed down on the table with force.

The strength of his blow, despite not being very strong, but with a foundation in cultivation, was enough to split the table into pieces.

“Thinking of snatching the items I want right in front of me? Dream on! Whatever you want, I won’t let you have it!”

The auction was set to begin the next day.

The next morning, Logan got up early and went out without disturbing Little White, choosing some breakfast that looked delicious for himself and entrusting it to the waiter.

He instructed the waiter to let Ellie eat breakfast should she wake up.

Having done all this, Logan arrived at the Auction Venue.

Before the auction began, the items had already been displayed; more accurately, the auction had informed all the potential buyers of the items to be sold.

The instant Logan saw one of the items, he wanted to take it immediately.

But this was an auction venue, different from a mall; he had to compete with others to acquire it.

The auction was about to lift its curtain, and the people had already flocked into this hall of anticipation. The atmosphere was like a boiling ocean, full of exuberant voices and vibrant energy. Excitement and anticipation were evident on everyone’s faces, as if they were about to witness an unprecedented event. The air buzzed with a tense excitement, quickening the pulse and sounding almost like the auctioneer’s hammer echoing in everyone’s ears. At this moment, the entire Auction Venue seemed to become a colossal stage, with everyone waiting for the thrilling moment to arrive.

After all, this was the time when they could vie for their coveted objects.

“Our auction is about to dazzle you, esteemed guests. Please regulate your breathing and focus intently on the Treasures you have long yearned for. Now is the perfect time to demonstrate your decisiveness and seize the opportunity. Let your gaze be as sharp as a hawk’s, locking on to the target in your heart, because in this instant, your actions will decide the ownership of that precious item.”

Hearing these words, everyone was extremely happy.

Logan saw the people beside him starting to cheer.

Logan kept a close watch on his item, which was the second to be auctioned, so he wasn’t in a rush yet.

“Please take a look, here is our first item of today.”

“I believe I don’t need to tell you about this item, as you all might already be familiar with it.”

The host introduced some basic information about the first item on stage, making it sound incredibly enticing, such that a wealthy person would probably purchase it in one fell swoop.
