Chapter 151 Parting
Clinworth Castle, Lord's Mansion.
A few bones that were almost burned into coke, some gray-black ashes, a semi-melted aristocratic badge that could only be barely distinguished, and a cold and shining silver blade, scattered on the white cloth of the desk.
Viscount Mailer's trembling hand stroked these things, and finally picked up the silver short blade. He was very familiar with the special loop sign on the blade.
Ten years ago, on the day of his eldest son Dessel's coming-of-age ceremony, Viscount Mailer personally handed him the personal blade of the family to encourage him to become a real man.
And now, the young knight and the first successor of Colinworth, who was highly expected by Viscount Meller, have disappeared in this world forever, leaving only these fragments.
"No! ~”
The viscount, who had a strong and ruthless name, shed tears. He never thought of his test action against Dessel, but killed the eldest son's surname.
"How do you protect Dessel! Have the Collinworth family raised a bunch of waste for decades?
All the sadness turned into anger in an instant, pouring on the two family knights kneeling on the ground.
The two family knights were Dessel's entourage. They went to Tomund City with Dessel, but now they only brought back Dessel's relics, not even the complete body.
The two knights bowed their heads and said nothing. In fact, they also felt very wronged.
Since Concordia turned away from the Collinsworth family, neither Viscount Mailer nor Deserre trusted other family knights as before.
This time they went to Tomund City for business, neither of them knew what the specific task was, and Dessel didn't take them with them every time they went out.
A few days ago, Dessel did not come back after the last time he left. The two knights looked around and finally learned that an old building caught fire that night, and one person died.
They felt that it was not good, so they hurried to inquire. Finally, they saw the remains of the burned dead through the girguard, and confirmed the identity of Dessel from the two relics at the scene.
As for why Deserre died here, the girguards knew nothing but to be sure that he was killed, and the perpetrator set fire to the body.
If such a thing happened, the two family knights were also guilty, but they still kept their duties and sent Dessel's ashes and relics back to Collinsworth.
"Get out of here, get out of here! From today on, you are no longer the knights of Colinworth!"
After the two knights left, Viscount Mailer held the short blade in his hand, and his palm was cut by the blade and flowing out of red blood.
But the viscount did not feel any pain at all. The pain in his heart was ten times heavier than that, and there was extremely violent blood in a pair of wolf eyes.
"Dessel, I will definitely avenge you. I will cut off Leon's head with my own hands and put it in front of your tombstone!"
The oath containing deep hatred echoed in the room for a long time, as if it were the howling of a lone wolf on the wasteland!
At the same time, in Tormond City thousands of miles away, Viscount Meller, Leon, who vowed to cut off his head, sat in the box of the underground auction house, with a happy smile on his face.
Now the auction table is auctioning, which is his secret silver and star sand gold.
Three ounces of mithril plus ten ounces of star sand gold, the reserve price is 80,000 gold coins, but the price rose rapidly from the beginning, rushing up to 125,000 gold coins.
"No. 9 is 128,000 gold coins. Is there any higher? This is a rare mithril and star sand gold. The sum of the two materials is enough to refine a powerful weapon or armor. Is there a higher one?"
The auctioneer encouraged the tongue and tried his best to provoke the buyer's mood, with the intention of bidding for a higher price.
"Good! 130,000 gold coins and 130,000 gold coins on the 15th!"
The bidders at the auction are all anonymous and only use the number of the box to distinguish them. Except for the organizers, the bidders do not know the identity and strength of the opponent at all, which ensures the safety and secret of the final winner.
130,000 gold coins! Leon really has nothing to say. If he sells it himself, it is estimated that he can only sell 70,000 or 80,000 gold coins at most. How can he sell it at such a good price in the auction house?
The underground black market auction house is indeed a feast for the top millionaires, and Leon is also mixed into it and got a small cup of soup.
Finally, three ounces of mithril and ten-star sand gold were traded with 145,000 gold coins. After deducting a commission of 10,000 yuan, Leon got more than 130,000 gold coins!
"Congratulations!" Corinne congratulated with a smile, "This price is quite good!"
"Yes, it's all thanks to your help this time..." Leon smiled and said, "I don't know if I can get a water magic jewelry."
With Leon's capital, I'm afraid there is no qualification to compete with people here, but with Corinna's help, it's not too big a problem to win one of the auctions.
After several more auctions were sold, Leon's attention was attracted by the new auction.
"Shuibi earrings, Shuibi rings..." The auctioneer pointed to the two emerald green pieces of jewelry on the silver plate and said loudly, "They come from the secret land of the Holy Land. They are the beautiful crystallization of the ancient holy land magic civilization, which is extremely rare and rare!"
"Two pieces of jewelry belong to a set. After identification, wearing them can greatly enhance the affinity of water elements and improve the attack ability of water spells. The earrings are also accompanied by triggering water curtain protection spells, which is very rare!"
"The reserve price of the auction is 100,000 gold coins, and at least 3,000 gold coins will be added at a time!"
The auctioneer shouted with a red face and a thick neck. He said that the auction item was unique in the sky and the earth, but after he offered the reserve price, unexpectedly no one shouted the price immediately.
"There are few magic weapons from the secret place of the Holy Land, but neither the earrings nor the rings are beautiful enough..." Corinna said critically, "And the two are not a set. Without the most important necklace, the value will be greatly reduced."
"Also, they are obviously more suitable for human or elf water magicians. It's a pity to put them here for auction. The reserve price is too high!"
Leon secretly admired that Corinna said the key point in a few words. This vision and experience are absolutely extraordinary.
He hesitated for a moment and reached out to hold the crystal ball on the table: "Ten thousand gold coins!"
Corinna was stunned and looked at Leon strangely - didn't she say it clearly enough?
"Two earrings and a ring can also be made into a set with a water blue heart necklace, which is enough!" Leon smiled and said, "Besides, even if there is a better one later, I'm afraid I can't afford it."
At this auction, the final transaction price of a thing is often twice or even three times the starting price, and it is normal for the base price of 100,000 yuan to be sold at 200,000 yuan.
And the higher the bottom price of the auction, the higher it is. Leon only has more than 100,000 gold coins in hand, and he can only look at it later, unless Corinne is willing to lend him money.
It's just that Corinne is willing, and Leon doesn't want to owe her so much anymore. At present, there is a suitable set, and it's okay if it can be photographed.
How smart Corinna is, Leon understood as soon as she said it, so she didn't say anything more.
But what they didn't expect was that someone soon raised the price: "110,000 gold coins!"
Is there someone raising the price? Is it possible that there is no place to use all the money? Leon was speechless. His purchase of water magic jewelry was for a special purpose, not as a gift.
"Eleven thousand three thousand gold coins!" He can only shout again. If he can't take these two pieces of jewelry, the latter will be even more hopeless.
"120,000 gold coins!" The competitors don't give in at all.
"You bid too fast..." Corinna reminded: "It may be the seller's own price increase."
It makes sense! Leon thought about it and stabilized it first. He was no longer in a hurry to bid. He didn't bid 123,000 gold coins until the auctioneer was about to make a deal.
He is hesitant to give the other party this feeling. If the seller really raises the price by himself, it is bound to be impossible to raise it again. Otherwise, if Leon gives up, it is really a waste of chickens and rice.
Sure enough, this time the competitors calmed down, and finally Leon bought the lot at the price of 125,000 gold coins.
I was cheated with 20,000 gold coins! Leon felt a little sad when he thought about it, but after all, he was open-minded and soon turned away.
Soon, the lot of the deal was sent to the box, and almost all of Leon's money was spent.
After buying the earrings and rings, Leon found that these two pieces of jewelry looked much more beautiful. The earrings were made of mithril, and the pendants were two round and crystal blue-green magic cores.
The whole piece of the ring is carved from magic crystals, which is flawless. The texture is very similar to the top emperor's green emerald. The thrilling green makes people's eyes bright.
Coryna also liked it very much. She tried to put it on and have a look, reflecting her snow-white and jade-like skin, adding a little beauty.
Leon felt good, so he said, "Why don't you keep it!"
"I have a better one..." Corinna laughed and said, "This color doesn't suit me very well."
After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Leon, I'm leaving Tomond City tomorrow, and I may not come back for a long time."
Are you leaving? Leon was stunned: "Where are you going?"
This made him feel very sudden, and a strong reluctance surged in his heart.
"Don't ask, maybe I will come to you in the future. Don't forget your promise!" The fox girl smiled, but her eyes revealed a trace of sadness and confusion of parting.
Leon stared into her eyes and said in a low voice, "My promise to you will always work!"
"I know..."
She stretched out her arms and gently hugged Leon's tiger waist, and then tiptoed her toes.
A shallow kiss was printed on Leon's face.
