The farce that lasted until late at night ended when Bishop fainted.
According to the diagnosis of the doctor who rushed over in a hurry, this seemed to be a cerebral hemorrhage. Although the medicine was taken in time, he would probably have to lie in bed in the future. Not even a magician could do anything about this kind of disease.
Of course, falling ill and comatose does not mean that the bet he promised before is invalid. With the witness of Auston and Aristotle, the money will be transferred directly from Bishop's account to Roy. If the money in the account
If it's not enough, someone will naturally dispose of his property on his behalf.
As for Shi Dong, under the escort of his guards, he returned to the imperial capital in despair that night.
As the elder of the Chamber of Commerce with the highest status among everyone on this trip after Bishop fell into coma, Alston did not show any courtesy to Stone.
Driving him back is just a matter of course, not a punishment. The real punishment will be decided after discussion by the General Assembly. But what is certain now is that in this life, he will never be able to sit on the position of the head of the auction house.
.
As for Tracy, after this night, no one doubted this young lady's vision and ability.
It is precisely because of her excellence that the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce achieved a satisfactory result in the mission entrusted by Aristotle. Not only did she receive the approval of Aristotle, but she also did not give any task to the coveting mission hall.
Any chance with Shenjiangtang.
In people's opinion, Bishop was seriously ill and it was only a matter of time before he stepped down as elder. Even if he still retained this position in name only, he would no longer have any influence on Tracy.
With such outstanding vision, ability, achievements, and the support of Elder Alston, it is certain that Tracy will be promoted to the elder of the auction house.
What's more, on this night, the mysterious lone wolf magic pattern master announced in public that all his cooperation with the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce will be through Tracy. If she leaves, then all his works in the future will be through the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce has no connection whatsoever.
After this time, people still don’t know the value of this young man? A single sentence from such a person is more useful than Tracy’s ten years of hard work. Even if it is just to win over him. Tracy is sitting in the position of the elder of the head office.
It’s settled.
As for Lone Wolf, Elder Alston immediately stated that if he needs anything in the future, the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce will spare no effort.
The deacons present all secretly admired him. From this point of view, Elder Alston's sophistication could be seen.
You know, everyone knows the relationship between Lone Wolf and the Mission Hall. If Tracy hadn't recognized Lone Wolf last time by chance, I'm afraid everything wouldn't be what it is today. Therefore, on behalf of
The Chamber of Commerce's statement is to add an insurance layer to this relationship.
It is always easier to gain the other party's friendship by showing unconditional goodwill in advance than by conditional exchange. And after tonight, the friendship of the lone wolf will be priceless. This will also go a long way in consolidating Alston's position in the Chamber of Commerce Elders.
benefit.
The lone wolf also gained the friendship of Aristotle.
After the final battle, the inheritance of magic was almost cut off. In the past three hundred years, those who can become magic gods are all outstanding heroes with amazing talents. Their power has exceeded the cognitive scope of ordinary people. Apart from magic,
Apart from that, in any other field, they have endless energy.
Those things that are so difficult for ordinary people are just an understatement for them.
No matter whether they are princes, ministers or traffickers, they will all feel honored to serve them.
Therefore, Aristotle's friendship is far from being measured by money.
When they parted, Aristotle gave Roy an ancient black iron ring. As long as Roy activated the ring with magic power, Aristotle could sense it no matter where he was in the Saint Solan Empire. And
Come as quickly as possible.
No matter who the opponent is, Aristotle will fight for Roy three times!
How precious is the promise of a Dharma God. It is already a huge blessing to make a move once, let alone three times. Looking at the ring on Roy's hand, even Auston and Tracy couldn't help but feel jealous.
…
The night is already dark, and a magic moon hangs in the sky, quiet and bright.
Roy and Tracey were strolling in the garden in the backyard of the auction house. Auston, Luke and Li Fanxi followed them side by side.
The bellflowers in the wind made a crisp sound. After passing through the rose arch and following the winding path paved with cobblestones, Roy and Tracey walked onto a small grassy slope. Looking up, the city of Munich had entered.
I fell asleep. Even the noisy bars were closing their doors one after another, and the wall lamps in front of the signboards were extinguished.
'Thank you,' Tracy stopped and turned to look at Roy, 'If you hadn't come in time today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to withstand it.'
'You are too polite.' Roy said, 'It is not the behavior of a gentleman to betray the trust of a beautiful lady.'
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Tracy looked at Roy's mask and said sweetly: 'Can't I see your face now?'
'Of course.' Roy smiled, took off his mask and took off his wig.
This is a clean and young face, a pair of blue eyes and a clear smile, with a bit of usual confusion, giving people a harmless look, making it easy for people to get close to him.
Seeing Roy's true appearance, Tracy was stunned and seemed to feel a little familiar. But while she was thinking hard, Luke, who was walking behind the two of them, suddenly focused his eyes and felt a huge shock in his heart!
'I remembered! Roy...' Tracy's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands and said in surprise, 'Your name is Roy, and you are a student in the first training camp!'
Because of the sensational rumors such as the Battle of Medina, the beating of Scarlett and Kevin's challenge, many people have heard of Roy's name, but not many people have actually seen him.
The reason Tracy recognized Roy at a glance was because she was one of the witnesses to the battle between him and Scarlett at Archduke Adolf's ball more than a month ago.
As the elder of the Lulian branch of the Golden Skull Auction House and the chief deacon of the auction house, it was not difficult for Tracy to get an invitation. However, she was wearing an elegant and luxurious dark blue silk dress at the time, and she never dreamed of it.
Thinking of it, the fierce young man in the center of the crowd of Lulian's top nobles, attacking with punch after punch, turned out to be a lone wolf!
Tracy covered her mouth in shock.
Although she didn't care about such rumors, she had also heard many things about this boy. But whether it was his relationship with Princess Aleshia, his conflict with the Langris family, or even his
To her, like most people, she had just heard of the achievements made in the First World War in Meiding City. She didn’t take them seriously!
After all, these are just rumors about a person who has nothing to do with me. And most of these rumors are not very reliable. Just like the heroic legends sung by bards, they can at best deceive those who dream of knights.
A child, for someone like her, is nothing more than a pastime after dinner.
However, when the face in front of her coincided with the rumors she had heard and the name Lone Wolf, she had to be shocked.
However, Tracy was not the most shocked person. What she and Roy did not see was that when he heard the name "Roy", Old Luke stared closely into Roy's eyes. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
, an abnormal blood color appeared on his face.
"It's him! It can't be wrong!" He murmured, "It's him, it's him!"
"Mr. Luke." Li Fanxi noticed something was wrong with Luke and said nervously, "Are you okay? Are you sick? Do you want me to call someone?"
As an ordinary person who has never practiced fighting spirit, Li Fanxi was dozens of meters away from Tracy and Roy, and had no idea what the two said. Even because of the darkness of the night, when Roy took off his mask.
He didn't see clearly either.
Therefore, he did not connect Luke's changes with Roy.
"No, no, I'm fine..." Luke shook his head and said incoherently but with emotion, "I'm fine, very fine, I've never felt better!"
With that said, he took a deep look at Roy and said to Li Fanxi: "Let's go, don't affect the two of them."
"Influence them..." Li Fanxi looked at Tracy, then at Roy, with a strange expression on his face and was pulled away by Luke.
And Tracy was still immersed in surprise.
"It turns out it's you!" She opened her mouth and suddenly laughed, "No wonder you defrauded Scarlett of so much money when you first came to the auction house. It turns out..."
Roy also laughed when talking about the past.
"So, in addition to being proficient in magic patterns, you are also an alchemist?" Tracy's eyes lit up and she asked curiously.
"I know a little bit," Roy said, "but I don't actually do much research on refining medicine. I just accidentally got some formulas that others don't know."
"It's just..." Tracy laughed dumbly, "Do you know how much the bottle of spiritual power pill prescription you auctioned last time was worth?"
"Ten spiritual power pills cost 1 million gold," Roy said with a smile, "That prescription must be very expensive!"
Tracy covered her mouth and smiled.
To this day, she still remembers how angry Scarlett looked when she spent a million to proudly snatch the spiritual power pill from the mysterious young man wearing a mask, only to find out that she had been cheated on him. If she knew, this masked man
If the boy in front of me was Roy, I don’t know how embarrassed he would be!
Poor princess.
She is a woman of dragon blood and phoenix marrow. She is usually aloof, surrounded by others, complimented and flattered. Whatever she wants or does she wants to do, she can do anything. But she never imagined that she would be in a small miscellaneous place.
Such a huge challenge fell into the hands of the servant.
"By the way, speaking of elixirs, I have a request," Tracy said. "You know, the situation in Lulian has been very unstable recently. Many people are selling off their property and fleeing to the north for refuge. Auction
Our business has also plummeted..."
Briefly explaining the recent problems of the auction house, Tracy said, "...several auctions, no matter whether it is antiques, real estate, fields, ranches, luxury goods, or works of art, no one is interested.
Only for elixirs and magic pattern products, the demand is much stronger than before, and almost as soon as they are taken out, the price is much higher than usual."
"Oh?" Roy's eyes lit up when he heard that the price was much higher than usual.
This is not surprising. In today's world, real estate, land, antiques and jewelry are all external possessions. They can neither be eaten nor saved. If you want to survive, you must improve your strength. Therefore, let alone the auction house, it is
The prices of elixirs, weapons and equipment, as well as various magic cores and medicinal materials in the shops and markets in the city have skyrocketed.
"So, I want to order from you a hundred of the same spiritual power pills as last time, and ten six to seven-star weapons," Tracy said with a smile. "This batch will be the highlight of my next auction.
.I think the auction house’s business will be much better.
As the most trustworthy collaborator, I can provide you with enough materials first. When the auction ends, we will settle at the best price. The payment will be deducted from the total auction price. All you need to do is
Refining.”
Now the bandit army is short of money. And Tracy offers such a generous offer that Roy simply can't refuse.
Looking into Tracy's expectant eyes, Roy stretched out his hand and shook her hand. He smiled and said, "I only have one request... Can you exchange the money for what I need?"
………
After the two reached an agreement, Tracy quickly asked someone to send all the materials over.
Sweeping everything into the space ring, Roy said goodbye to Tracy. He activated his fire wings and turned into a meteor, flying towards the direction of the military camp in the south of the city.
Although the city of Munich at this moment looks calm on the outside, it is actually extremely well-defended. Not only are there clear and hidden sentries in every area, but there are also four city walls and eight guard towers, as well as the Grand Duke's Castle and the three major training camp castles in the city.
, the central clock tower. Magic defense arrays have been activated.
In addition, there are always several gryphon knights patrolling in the sky at all times, and magicians are monitoring the high towers in the city. Therefore, if he is not careful, Roy may be regarded as an intruder and attacked.
After leaving the auction house, Roy carefully lowered his figure, preparing to hide his whereabouts through the undulating buildings in the streets and alleys.
However, less than a hundred meters outside the auction house, suddenly, a powerful force in the void, like an invisible mountain, suddenly pressed down.
Roy was horrified. The demonic core in his body was operating at full strength, and two battle rings suddenly exploded, trying to resist this majestic force. However, all resistance had no effect. In an instant, he was like a flying bird.
The sparrow caught in the hurricane fell headlong to the ground.
Bang! Roy fell in the middle of a quiet alley. Just when he was about to hit the ground, his whole body was supported by the huge force and he was put down steadily without any injuries.
He looked around in shock. He was in an alley not far from the auction house. On both sides of the road paved with stone were low buildings. At the end of the road, a bell tower could be vaguely seen.
A frightened wild cat quickly jumped up from the street, jumped up the fence, climbed over the attic roof, and disappeared.
"Who is it?" Roy shouted.
The Sword Spirit and Ax Spirit have already appeared beside Roy. As long as he has a thought, they will immediately take over his body to deal with the danger that he cannot deal with. At the same time, Roy also pulled out the space ring.
Judgment, and quickly released a magic shield.
However, the biggest trump card is the eleventh-level magic scroll he holds in the palm of his left hand. This is one of only two eleventh-level magic scrolls given to him by Williams, and it is also what he has at the moment.
The strongest power.
Although there are still five tenth-level magic scrolls and several nine-level magic scrolls, the extremely terrifying power just now made Roy understand that what he was facing was definitely the most powerful and terrifying thing he had ever encountered in his life.
opponent.
In front of the opponent, he is like a lamb in front of a lion. He doesn't even hope that the eleventh-level magic scroll in his hand can cause any harm to the opponent. He only hopes that it will give him a chance to escape.
.
Roy's voice echoed in the empty alley.
A figure appeared at the corner.
"Master Luke!" Roy looked at Luke's face in surprise, appearing in the dim light of the street lamp. He walked step by step, and the pale hair and wrinkles on his face became more and more clear. Those somewhat muddy eyes
The eyes, looking at myself at the moment, are so bright.
Roy was extremely surprised. He didn't understand why Luke would avoid Tracy and meet him alone in such a way.
However, when he found out that the person who came was Luke, Roy felt relieved. Although the contact time was not long, for some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of trust and intimacy towards this old man, and he couldn't bear to be angry with him.
A little caution.
The fact that he was able to land safely just now also proves this point. With Luke's strength, if he wanted to kill him in mid-air, he didn't even have a chance.
"Master Roy..." Luke walked up to Roy, stared at him, and said slowly, "I have a very presumptuous request. I wonder if you can agree to it."
"I agree!" Roy said directly without even asking for any request. He murmured in his heart: "Damn it, I was caught directly from the air by such a terrifying guy like you. Master, do I still have a choice?"
"I want to see your eyes..." Luke's eyes exuded a kind of heat, like a soldering iron in a furnace.
Eyes? Roy was startled. Then he became wary.
"Why?"
He took a step back.
If Luke needed his help, whether it was magic patterns, refining medicine, or anything else, he wouldn't be surprised. But this request was completely beyond his expectation.
To ordinary people, having someone look at their eyes may be nothing. But to Roy, his eyes are a collection of all his secrets.
Back then, most of the reasons why William was able to escape the hunt of the Holy Cult with him were due to his current pair of blue eyes. Few people knew that he was born with double pupils. No one knew that he had been poisoned by the poisonous dragon.
After losing his talent for fighting due to his saliva, his eyes have changed from the black of his father to the blue of his mother.
This is his biggest secret. And behind this secret is an unsolved case from more than ten years ago, a bloody feud!
Especially after recovering his fighting spirit in a desperate situation and re-entering the human world, he has always been very careful.
With the recovery of his fighting spirit talent and the recovery of his meridians damaged by the poisonous dragon's saliva, his eyes were also quietly changing. On weekdays, his eyes were still blue. But once he concentrated on his eyes, his eyes opened and closed.
It can show black pupils. However, the recovery of the current black pupils is not obvious. You have to look carefully to see a circle of black shadow next to the blue pupils.
He kept this secret very closely.
He knew that maybe the identity of Baron Polabel's servant was exposed, and the trouble caused by becoming Alessia's guardian knight was nothing.
Step by step, as his identity changes and the whole incident attracts attention, even if the Langris family wants to deal with him, he must follow the rules of the aristocratic game. His life is not worth their share of surrender.
Identity, loss of face.
This is the Saint Solan Empire. Their goal is to replace the Solan royal family and become the ruler of this land. Therefore, what they need is to use hard and soft means to get the nobles to surrender and cooperate, rather than destroying the game.
rules, triggering their confrontation and hostility.
But once his true identity is exposed, Lanris will never deal with him like he did before. They will tear off their mask and use all means to hunt him down.
His opponent will not only be the Langris family, nor just a small second-level housekeeper and an ordinary student of the Holy Martial Hall, but the Knight of Glory, the Knight of Great Light, and even the God of Law and the Holy Knight!
As long as you can kill yourself, the enemy will do whatever it takes!
Just like fourteen years ago by the Frost River. Even my mother couldn't escape the big black hand behind the scenes, so how could I escape?
Therefore, when he found out that Master Luke stopped him halfway just to look into his eyes, Roy's heart suddenly lifted.
"Why did he suddenly make such a strange request?"
"Does he know his identity?"
"who is he?"
Looking at Luke coming towards him, Roy took another step back, all kinds of thoughts coming to him at once.
Faced with Roy's question, Luke said calmly: "I just want to make sure you are the person I am looking for."
"Don't be afraid," Master Luke stopped ten meters away from Roy and said calmly, "I don't have any ill intentions."
Not afraid?
Roy wanted to yell.
Damn it, you old pervert avoided others and stopped me in this dark alley late at night, just to see the window of my soul... Can I not be afraid?
"Who are you?" Roy asked, his eyes rolling.
"My name and identity are the same as what you know," Master Luke said, "However, if you want to ask about my relationship with you, then I must look into your eyes before I can
Tell you..."
As he said that, Luke suddenly grabbed it with his backhand.
Poof! A soft sound.
A dark green vine wrapped around him like a python, and he grabbed it as soon as it emerged from the void.
Roy's eyes almost dropped as he quietly tried to make a sneak attack with the eighth-level great restraint technique.
He opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at Master Rook's five fingers closing together, watching the green vines filled with majestic magic and the energy of heaven and earth rushing left and right in his hands, but struggled to escape, and finally turned into strips of green.
The thread of light dissipated.
In response to Roy's sneak attack, Luke only smiled slightly, looked at his hand thoughtfully, and said, "Such a sneak attack is useless to me. How about you try with the scroll in your hand? If I
If I guess correctly, it should be an eleventh-level magic..."
Roy was completely stunned.
Even the sword spirit and axe spirit were silent.
"Okay!" Roy accepted his fate. Like a fish that fell into a bear's paw, he opened his eyes wide and stared at Luke, "Although your request is very weird, but who said I can't beat you.
If you want to watch it, just watch it, and agree first that you can only watch it and not move it..."
Luke came over and looked into Roy's eyes intently.
Roy mentally told himself to calm down. The recovery of the black pupils was not obvious yet, but it was usually very hidden. As long as he didn't want to, no one could see the flaw.
Sure enough, Master Luke looked at it for a long time, with a look of disappointment on his face.
"What?" Roy was a little proud, "Can I ask you this..."
Before he finished speaking, Luke's hand suddenly waved in front of him. Just as Roy subconsciously dodged and closed his eyes, two skinny and dry fingers had already pressed against his eyelids, gently
Knead and press...
"What are you doing?!" Roy rubbed his eyes and glared at Luke, "I didn't say yes..."
Before Roy finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and his expression suddenly changed.
Under the light, his eyes had turned into twin pupils. One was black and the other was blue, like two demon moons superimposed together, which was particularly eerie.
The air suddenly solidified.
After a long while, Luke said: "It is indeed you!"
There was a hint of trembling in his voice, as if he was controlling his emotions with great strength. That old face and those cloudy eyes revealed all kinds of extremely complicated emotions such as doting, guilt, and joy.
look.
In front of Roy, whose whole body was tense and his hair stood on end, the old man knelt down on one leg and said slowly.
"Now, I can tell you."
His pale hair was messy and flying in the night wind, but his rickety back was as straight as a steel gun. A sharp and powerful breath, like a sword, finally left the attic filled with debris and the long time.
The dust is covered in dust, and the sharp edge is revealed!
Roy looked at him blankly, listening to his voice echoing in his ears.
For a moment it was like a dream.
"My identity is the commander of the third longest knight group of the Farrington Knights. I am also the sword-wielding attendant of your grandfather, Grand Duke Roland, and your loyal servant..."
"Thirteen years ago, I was ordered to come to Lulian to search for your whereabouts, and it remains until today!"
The moonlit night is cold and the alley is deep and quiet.
The old man raised his head, already in tears. (To be continued)
