Chapter 46: An Unexpected Invitation
Seeing this situation, Nicholas immediately activated his fighting spirit and his whole body was covered with a ball of white light.
Mei Lannie said "Huh" in surprise, and her eyes looking at Gao Tian no longer showed contempt, but was full of confusion.
Gao Tian shouted loudly, and the red sword light slashed towards Nicholas on his head. The ten-meter-long tongue of flames roared, making the sky red.
However, although Gao Tian's sword was very powerful in momentum, Nicholas was able to easily avoid it because it was seven or eight meters away.
Gao Tian was unreasonable and swept across with his sword, forcing Nicholas to jump up.
Nicholas picked up more than three feet high and waved the thin thorn sword in his hand and rushed towards Gao Tian.
Gao Tian was waiting for this opportunity. The moment he saw Nicholas' whereabouts, he opened his mouth and squirted, and a magic flame rushed towards Nicholas.
Nicholas was at a high altitude and had no choice but to avoid it. He took the time to activate the fighting spirit and condensed a fighting spirit shield in front of him, inspecting and blocking Gao Tian's magic flames. His body turned around in the air and flew back quickly.
Gao Tian took advantage of the victory and squirted out another magical flame, completely blocking the line where Nicholas was about to fall.
Nicholas is worthy of being a high-level warrior. With the air power exhausted and a sea of fire under his feet, he was not panicked at all. Nicholas activated his fighting spirit again, and his body stopped falling, but flew straight backwards.
However, although Nicholas avoided the attack range of Gao Tian's magic flames, there was no place behind him. With a "boom", Nicholas's back hit the courtyard wall heavily, and the courtyard wall that was half a meter thick immediately collapsed and a large area collapsed. There was a street outside the courtyard wall, and the collapsed courtyard wall immediately caused a burst of exclamation.
"Are you wrong? You're tearing down the walls in broad daylight?" The dust dissipated, and an old man stood up trembling among the ruins of the courtyard wall, and cursed: "Fortunately, I am hiding quickly, otherwise I wouldn't know what's going on if I was smashed to death."
Nicholas slowly fell from the air, returned the sword to the sheath, and said respectfully to the old man: "I'm sorry, I'm hurting anyway. If you are injured, we will treat you immediately."
The old man patted the dust on his body and said, "It's a coincidence that he didn't knock me down, so he let you down." The old man looked at the Red House and asked Nicholas, "Is there a Mr. Kam living here?"
Gao Tian was afraid of his recklessness just now. He didn't know what kind of punishment he should be subject to if the courtyard wall really hit someone to death according to the law here. Gao Tian walked up to the old man and said, "Mr. Kam is my housekeeper. Is there anything you need to do with him?"
The old man's angry expression disappeared immediately, replaced by a flattering expression, saying, "Ah, Mr. Cam is your housekeeper, then you must be the big jewelry merchant Mr. Gao Tian, right? I have heard of your name for a long time. I am Lyon of the Jewelry Chamber of Commerce in Ted City. My owner, Mr. O'Neill, asked me to send you a letter."
After Lyon finished speaking, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Gao Tian.
Gao Tian did not reach out to receive the letter, but asked strangely: "Mr. Lyon, your master O'Neill and I don't know each other. What did he do to write to me?"
At this moment, Old Cam, who was resting in the room, had already heard the sound of the collapse of the courtyard wall and ran out in panic. When he saw Lyon, he immediately walked to him quickly, patted his shoulder and said, "Old ghost, why are you here?"
Lyon said: "Mr. Cam, the few pieces of jewelry displayed by your owner Mr. Gao Tian at the jewelry auction last month caused a sensation and attracted the attention of Mr. O'Neill, my family. Tomorrow there will be a jewelry display conference in Ted City, and all celebrities from all walks of life will attend. Mr. O'Neill sent me to send a letter to Mr. Gao Tian and invite him to attend the exhibition conference. This is a letter. If Mr. Gao Tian can come here, we will be honored. Of course, it would be even better if Mr. Gao Tian could bring a few top-quality jewelry to participate."
Old Cam took the letter and asked Gao Tian respectfully: "Master, do you need to participate. Mr. O'Neill is the largest jewelry merchant in the entire Ted Kingdom. No matter what kind of jewelry it is, the value will increase by at least 10%. Mr. O'Neill's exhibition hall is also the largest exhibition hall in the entire Ted Kingdom. At this time of year, a jewelry exhibition conference will be held. Merchants, scholars, and nobles from all over the country will gather here. It is a great time to show your collection."
Gao Tian has countless rare treasures, and most of the items he brought out were just inferior goods, which caused a sensation at the auction. Gao Tian really wanted to know the value of the other treasures in his hands. Therefore, he thought for a while and said, "Mr. Lyon, please tell your owner Mr. O'Neal. I am very grateful for his invitation. I will definitely attend the exhibition tomorrow, and I will also bring out a few jewelry to ask Mr. O'Neal to identify it."
After Lyon left, Gao Tian said to Nicholas apologetically: "Mr. Nicholas, I am really sorry, I cannot control the power in my body freely. I was so reckless just now, please forgive me."
Nicholas was so tolerant that he showed a bright smile and said, "Mr. Gao Tian, you don't have to blame yourself. This is a competition, which is normal. I admire your magical fire magic ability very much. Your magic flame does not use magic spells, nor does it use magic wands and other props, and it can be instantly emitted. Even a great magician cannot do this. I believe now that you do not need protection, you have the ability to protect yourself."
Nicholas' modesty made Gao Tian feel embarrassed. After all, if the competition just now was a real battle, it was not Nicholas who failed first, but Gao Tian himself. Nicholas was careless and lost Jingzhou because he did not expect Gao Tian to be able to spit flames and was forced to retreat by Gao Tian. If Nicholas started attacking as soon as he came up, it is still unknown who would win.
"Mr. Gao Tian, how can you spray magic flames?" Melanie suddenly spoke. This was the first time she called Gao Tian as Mr. It seemed that after seeing Gao Tian's performance, her heart had completely given up on her prejudice against Gao Tian. Melanie said: "You are extremely powerful and are clearly a warrior, but you can release magic flames and seem to be a magician. Are you a magical and martial arts twin? This is impossible."
Melanie stared at Gao Tian's eyes tightly, her eyes full of inquiries, and said word by word: "Unless your body has been transformed, you have the characteristics of a monster. Only monsters can release the corresponding magic without relying on magic spells, but relying solely on their own magic attributes."
Gao Tian was a little panicked. So far, Rami and four little witches performed well in front of Nicholas and Melanie, and did not reveal Gao Tian's true identity. In the eyes of Nicholas and Melanie, Gao Tian is an absolute human being. If Gao Tian suddenly sprayed magic flames and was suspected to be a monster by Melanie, the position he had just established in his mind would collapse.
In this world, humans' views on monsters have long been deeply rooted, and they will not accept that a monster exists as a human.
"This is a secret, only your grandfather, Master Jidra, knows. You can ask Master Jidra, if he wants to, he will tell you the reason."
Gao Tian could not answer Melanie's question, so he had to throw this hot yam to Jidra. Anyway, Melanie was Jidra's granddaughter. If he wanted to tell Melanie that she really wanted, Gao Tian could not hide it. Now Gao Tian had to use Master Jidra's identity as the Golden Dragon of Gray, so he would also cover up his luck.
For the first time, Melanie smiled, and that smile bloomed quietly like a spring flower, like a trickle of water pouring into everyone's heart. Gao Tian did not expect that Melanie, who had a stern face all day, would be so beautiful when she smiled.
Melanie suddenly realized, "No wonder grandpa asked me to protect you. It turned out that he had been doing magic experiments. I originally thought that you were the young master of a monumental family, and I was depressed for a long time."
Gao Tian was actually misunderstood by Melanie as the magic experiment subject of Master Jidra. So what about Nicholas?
Gao Tian asked Nicholas: "Mr. Nicholas, why do you think the military headquarters sent you to protect me?"
Nicholas smiled slightly and said, "I thought you were a very important double-source spy who had important military intelligence. The military headquarters sent me to protect you. It turned out that I was wrong."
"Damn, it turns out to be a spy." Gao Tian thought to himself depressedly.
