After the scene calmed down, Acrius continued, "Now proceed with the second half of the auction of the ninth collection, and the seventy-sixth customer bids four hundred million dollars. ”

The hourglass on the table began to fall again, and this time everyone did not bid again, 400 million US dollars can already buy an artifact, so why bother to buy this suspected artifact.

Soon, all the sand on the top half of the hourglass flowed to the bottom half, and the whole hourglass lit up with a blue light.

"Congratulations to Customer Seventy-Six for winning this indestructible sword. Next, we auction the tenth collection, Douglas, a Class A transcendent slave. ”

……

In room 76, Li Fanzhi said to everyone with a solemn expression: "Let's go, let's hurry up to the backstage to complete the transaction and return to Jiuyou." ”

Everyone nodded, and they also knew that today was too eye-catching, so it was better to leave early to feel at ease.

The four of them left the small room and went directly to the backstage of the auction under the guidance of a staff member. They waited in a large, lavishly decorated room, and in a few moments two men dressed in white Greek robes carried out a wooden box.

opened the wooden box, which contained the cadre sword, Ji Tianci carried the painting tube on his back, and grabbed the cadre sword with his hand. Sure enough, the sword trembled uncontrollably, and seemed to be very excited.

Ji Tianci nodded, and Lu Manwen went to pay. Because it was a huge overseas transaction, the payment process took a total of five minutes, and Lu Manwen was on the phone with her father all the time.

Five minutes is already a very fast time, and after everyone completed the transaction, they didn't stop for a moment, picked up the sword and walked out.

Li Fanzhi's plane submitted its flight plan to Dubai International Airport early on, and the plan was to take off from Dubai at 5 p.m. This time is already very early, Li Fanzhi thought, it is easier to postpone the flight plan than to advance the flight plan, so he set a relatively early time.

Unexpectedly, they left the auction venue earlier. At this time, it was just after three o'clock, and the four of them quickly arrived at the airport in the hotel limousine.

For the sake of the safety of customers, the Temple of the Gods has arranged vehicles to escort the successful bidders to the airport, and if anyone loots these vehicles on the way, they will not be able to get along with the entire Temple.

It was only four o'clock when the group arrived at the airport. When passing through the security check, Ji Tianci was afraid that the security personnel would open the wooden box and ask about the items inside. As a result, when these security personnel saw the marks of the Temple of the Gods on the wooden box, they didn't even ask, and they got on the plane directly.

The two pilots were also surprised to find that the airport actually agreed to their changed flight plan and took off half an hour earlier. These two pilots are also "insiders", and in recent years, they have accompanied the "treasure digging team" to fly around the world countless times. They speculated that it might be because of the Temple of the Gods that allowed them to take off early.

The plane's engines roared, and in a few moments it flew into the stratosphere above the clouds. The route of Li Fanzhi's plane was from the Gulf of Oman in Dubai to the skies over Pakistan, and then passed through the northwest region of Kashmir to enter Jiuyou.

This is the safest route, Li Fanzhi likes to fly from the sea, he joked that he is not afraid of crashes at sea, and he will not die where there is water. And the relationship between the Nine Shadows and Pakistan is like a "brother", and there is also the transcendent of the Nine Shadows Sword stationed there all the year round.

***

When it comes to Pakistan and Kashmir, we have to talk about another country, India.

Once upon a time, Pakistan and India were the same country, which was later colonized by the British. After the end of World War II, India became independent, and due to its different religious beliefs, it proposed to divide the country, and India was divided into the current Pakistan and India.

Many of the people of the two countries were originally from the same ethnic group, but they hated each other because of their different religious beliefs. Kashmir has long been a territory that the two countries are fighting for, and the region is also bordered by the Nine Shadows.

In the early 60s, there was a border conflict between Jiuyou and India, and Pakistan held that the responsibility for the border conflict lay with India, and that Jiuyou was entirely out of self-defense; the conflict between Jiuyou and India was limited, and there was no need for Western countries to provide military assistance to India; and India obtained a large number of weapons from the West, not only to deal with Jiuyou, but also to deal with Pakistan.

The international background at that time was very unfavorable to Jiuyou. Western countries, led by the United States, openly accused Jiuyou of invading India and gave India huge weapons support. Later, in the negotiations between the two countries of Jiuyou India, Jiuyou made concessions.

In the aftermath of this conflict, Pakistan has adopted a more friendly and cooperative attitude towards Jiuyou.

Nine shadows will return the favor. In the two subsequent Indo-Pakistani wars, Jiuyou stood firmly on the side of Pakistan. And the intervention of the Nine Shadows also completely affected the outcome of the war.

……

In the late 80s, the United States unilaterally provoked an incident because it was "unaccustomed to seeing Jiuyou", calling Jiuyou an extremely undemocratic country, and announcing that it would adopt military sanctions against Jiuyou.

The United States has also encouraged Pakistan to follow American policy. A "Memorandum of Agreement between the United States and Pakistan" of the United States says: The United States and Pakistan are both democratized countries at the same time, and Pakistan's neighbor Jiuyou, which has foreign relations with Pakistan, is an extremely undemocratic country, and Pakistan should follow the Chinese government's initiative and sanction Jiuyou.

At the "Expanded Commission on Human Rights of UN Member States" held at the United Nations headquarters, the United States took the lead in proposing a bill to sanction Jiuyou against Jiuyou, and then the vast majority of member states agreed, while some countries with "certain friendly relations" with Jiuyou, such as North Korea and Africa, voted to abstain.

To the surprise of the United States, the representative of the State of Pakistan formally announced his Government's decision at the General Assembly: "The State of Pakistan will, as always, resolutely support the proposal of the Nine Shadows, and the State of Pakistan resolutely opposes the open interference of the United Nations in the internal affairs of the Member States." In particular, interfering in the affairs of the United Nations and one of its five important permanent members".

Pakistan's approach was undoubtedly very important to Jiuyou at that time. Under the watchful eye of many hostile countries, and in the face of China's disappointment with North Korea and other countries, Pakistan has stood up and firmly supported Jiuyou in its difficult situation.

After that, the United States terminated all cooperation agreements or contracts with Pakistan in retaliation. Pakistan's losses were enormous.

Since then, the relationship between Jiuyou and Pakistan has developed rapidly.

Now Kashmir is under Pakistan's control of the northeast and India is in charge of the southwest. India has always regarded Jiuyou as a hostile country, and often smeared Jiuyou internationally, and Jiuyou has long been accustomed to being smeared by others, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Jiuyou is a generous country, but there are also too many "white-eyed wolves" in history, Vietnam, Albania, North Korea...... It is rare to have a wholehearted partner Pakistan, Jiuyou is now strong, and he has never forgotten this "younger brother".

Although countries around the world believe that India will be a great power in the future, and Pakistan has a lot of hidden domestic problems due to religious reasons*, Jiuyou has never diluted its friendship with Pakistan. Just in line with the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, Jiuyou does not interfere in the development of Pakistan, but simply provides help to their government.

On the plane, Ji Tianci took out the cadre's sword and observed it carefully, Mo Ye also looked at the cadre's general, and everyone decided to find a remote place to "wake up" the cadre's after getting off the plane.

Li Fanzhi's plane has been flying for a while and is about to fly out of the waters of the Gulf of Oman.

Suddenly, Mo Ye turned his head vigilantly to look at the tail of the plane.

"Someone's flying over!"
