Chapter 1265: Ashley
December 10, 2023
"What's happening now?"
"Why is it black again?"
Instantly, the previously somewhat quiet Giant Rock City erupted into chaos once more.
Another live stream glitch?
In the past, the public network had never experienced any live stream issues, not even during the initial high-traffic parliamentary broadcasts.
The first parliamentary live stream had a similar number of simultaneous viewers as this auction.
Why are there so many glitches this time?
Is it a problem with the public network, or is it on Rett Dohz's end?
The clamor of the stone people once again reverberated through the sky.
Su Yu flashed to the window of his room, looking in the direction of the auction venue. His mental energy also extended in that direction.
Su Yu's mental energy could cover the entire auction venue, which was only a few kilometers away.
However, out of politeness, he had never used his mental energy before.
Now, he sent his mental energy over to ask Rett Dohz what was happening and if he needed help.
Rett Dohz quickly sensed Su Yu's mental energy.
He immediately sent back a message, indicating that everything was normal at the auction venue, and he had no idea why the broadcast glitched.
Receiving the message, Su Yu felt a bit more at ease.
He looked out the window at the sky.
Could an enemy be tampering with it?
Just then, a sudden cry rang in Su Yu's ears!
It was from his cat, Morning Star.
"Meow!"
Morning Star's cry was very urgent.
She pointed at the live stream with her paw and said, "Counter, counter, quick, look who it is!"
Su Yu immediately turned his gaze back to the live stream.
The moment he saw the content, he was shocked.
What's going on? Is it her?!
At the same time, the noise in Giant Rock City erupted once more!
Bang!
The entire city seemed to explode, the volume of the commotion this time being twice as loud as the previous two times!
The entire city was in shock, no one had expected this.
...
Back to the live stream.
After the screen went black, it still didn't return to Rett Dohz's main view. The screen remained pitch black.
However, in this darkness, a silver-haired woman in a purple veil and cloak slowly appeared.
In fact, this silver-haired woman didn't need the purple veil. The moment she appeared, she was enveloped in a mysterious mist.
This mist was very special; even with Su Yu and Morning Star's abilities, they couldn't see through it or discern the woman's face under the veil.
But the moment they saw her, a name immediately popped into everyone's mind—Ashley, it's Ashley!
Ashley had appeared in the live stream!
How could she be here?
Ashley was the strongest seer in the Fig Hub, two ranks higher than the Central Bank's governor, Andrew Soren.
After the Hymn disappeared, Ashley had completely secluded herself, showing no interest in forming her own faction.
Apart from occasionally attending Fig Council meetings, she was completely indifferent to everything else.
Yet, she had now appeared in the auction's live stream!
Even though her face was obscured, her attire was unmistakable.
Why was Ashley here?
This left everyone in awe.
Thus, the major cities of the hub erupted in a cacophony of shock, the volume far louder than the previous two times!
Watching the live stream, Su Yu was as shocked as everyone else.
Ashley? What is she doing here?
Wait a moment. Could it be that the sudden interruption of the auction broadcast was because of her? But why would Ashley interrupt the auction? Is she a friend or an enemy?
Morningstar, the cat, darted to Su Yu's shoulder, her body trembling slightly. "Counter, Counter, what's going on here?"
Su Yu opened his mouth but couldn't find the words to speak.
At this moment, Ashley in the live stream spoke up, "Everyone, this is Ashley."
The moment Ashley began to speak, the deafening noise outside in Giant Rock City vanished instantly.
Everyone fell silent, and the entire city became eerily quiet!
"The reason I interrupted this auction is due to an unexpected situation," Ashley explained slowly.
Her voice was soft and melodious, filled with an endless sense of mystery, as if it had an indescribable magic that resonated in everyone's ears.
It was clear that she was deliberately making her voice sound ordinary; otherwise, the sheer magical power in her words might have been too much for ordinary people to handle.
She gently continued, "In fact, three days ago, I used the 'Lennart Divination Algorithm' to predict some things, one of which was that today's auction would be attacked."
Sure enough, the attack just happened.
"Lennart Divination Algorithm"?!
Hearing these words, Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Su Yu was not a seer; he was a Space Mage and didn't understand divination at all.
However, during his leisure time, he had read extensively about the lives of stellar-level powerhouses.
Ashley's biography mentioned the "Lennart Divination Algorithm."
It was a divination technique passed down by her mentor, refined and improved over multiple iterations.
The divination was of a very high caliber, one that required a certain cost to perform.
This "cost" referred to either the expenditure of life force or power.
Ashley rarely used such divination techniques.
Although the cost each time was not significant, no one could withstand the cumulative effect of using it repeatedly over a long period.
But Su Yu never expected Ashley to use this divination technique for the auction. Was it really necessary?
Honestly, even if Su Yu offered a hundred billion Holy Silver Coins, he might not have been able to get this service!
Moreover, the latter part of Ashley's statement also shocked him.
The auction was actually attacked?
By whom?
At this moment, the city of Giant Rock City erupted in shouts from the stone people outside. However, the shouts were not loud, as everyone was eager to hear more from Ashley, and the commotion quickly subsided.
Ashley didn't keep them in suspense.
She spoke frankly, "The attack came from outside, from the rebel organization 'Dark Energy Insurgents.' They attempted to interfere with this auction, but the specific reasons are unclear.
Just now, I and Mayor Lemore successfully repelled the invaders. The enemies have retreated, and the auction can now continue."
After saying this, Ashley paused.
But at that moment, the discussion outside erupted once again.
Morningstar, the cat, widened her eyes in disbelief and looked at Su Yu. "Counter, the Dark Energy Insurgents attacked here?"
"The Dark Energy Insurgents?" Su Yu's expression grew increasingly serious.
He never imagined that the Dark Energy Insurgents would be bold enough to cause trouble in the Fig Hub.
He thought the Dark Energy Insurgents wouldn't dare to act recklessly on a hub planet, given that they weren't stronger than the Fig Hub and that the Fig Hub could summon a vast number of reinforcements.
Clearly, he had underestimated them. They actually tried to attack the auction, truly daring and audacious!
