Chapter Seventy-Three: Trading Crystals
86_86832 The auction is over.
Vivian was about to walk out of the private room when an auction house attendant hurriedly walked over: "Miss Vivian, my young lady would like you to come over." ”
Following the man, Vivien and Nolan swerved around the crowd and came to a warmly furnished hut.
Sarah was anxiously waiting in the cabin.
When she saw Vivian, the first thing she said was, "Vivian, will you give up that piece of phantom silver crystal fragment?"
Vivi was relieved and unhappy, raising her eyebrows and about to speak, when Sarah interrupted her, "It's not that I'm stingy, it's okay if the crystal is given to you." It's just that there are too many people who want that crystal, and all of them are very powerful. They don't dare to touch you in Xueli City, because Uncle is here, and they don't want to offend the Bags family, but it's hard to say when they get out of Xueli City. Vivien, it's too dangerous for you to hold that phantom silver crystal! you give it to me, and I'll say it's over, and let them rebid so they don't work against you. ”
Vivien smiled.
The smile that suddenly bloomed was very warm and dazzling, and Sarah, who had always been conceited about her appearance, was also stunned, and there was only one thought left in her mind: what a stunning little girl would be if she grew up.
"Thank you for worrying about me, but I don't want to give up this phantom silver crystal!" Vivien said softly, but firmly, "Red Coral is what you gave me, and I'll give you the money for the phantom silver crystal." ”
With that, a pile of gold coins poured out of the ring, almost filling the entire hut.
Sarah only struggled with her mind for a moment, and then she was driven by the nature of a businessman to make the decision to collect money: if she didn't give me money, I wouldn't ask her for it, but now that she offered to give money, why wouldn't I?
Taking a scroll from her pouch and throwing it on the gold coin, Sarah worked out the number of gold coins: "Two thousand nine hundred eighty nine thousand seven hundred and fifty-six gold coins." ”
There were two hundred eighty thousand two hundred and forty-four gold coins left.
The gold in Vivien's ring had been emptied, and there were still some in the space bag she had with her, but they were ready for casual use, not even a thousand.
Vivian was about to ask if it was okay to use the second-grade exorcism to offset the price, and Nolan, who had not spoken all the time, took out a card: "Let's draw the rest of the money from here." Nolan's idea is very simple, Sarah repays the life-saving grace with a million gold coins, so it seems that she should also express it, otherwise when will such a big favor be repaid.
Vivien didn't know what the card was, but she knew it could be paid, so she didn't refuse, and in her opinion, it was better to owe Nolan than to Sarah.
Sarah is no stranger to that card.
It was the VIP card of the largest bank in the mainland, Shengguang Bank.
The Holy Light Bank is the only organization on the mainland that is not restricted by the state, its origin is a mystery, it does not belong to any country, but none of the three countries dare to provoke it.
The VIP card of Shengguang Bank is generally only held by nobles or large customers with deposits of more than 100 million.
Holding a VIP card from Holy Light Bank is a symbol of status and wealth.
If Vivien took out this card, Sarah would not be confused, because she originally thought that the little girl was a child of a big family, but now it seems that this card is obviously Nolan's private property, and even Vivien doesn't know about it.
But is there such a master and servant?
The master was holding a pile of gold coins, but the servant had a VIP card from the Holy Light Bank.
From the day of the deposit at Shengguang Bank, there seems to be no rule that minors are not allowed to apply for cards.
Although she was puzzled, Sarah didn't ask anything, handed the card to her subordinates to transfer money, and carefully took out the fragment of the phantom silver crystal and handed it to Vivien.
Nolan watched with envy.
No one doesn't like this stuff.
When Vivien received the crystal, she felt the fluctuation of magic power in the crystal, so she looked at Sarah with an inquiring gaze, and Sarah explained: "Three days ago, that is, the morning you rescued me, our exorcism team received news that someone had found a pregnant lightning beast on the Cloud Mountain located northwest of Xueli City, so I wanted to take the phantom silver crystal to try and see if I could catch it. "It's a pity that I didn't touch the lightning beast, but I was caught by Perrod.
The Lightning Beast, as Vivien had heard of it, was a magical beast known for its speed, as its name suggested.
However, it is different from the average Warcraft.
The lightning beast has no ranks, and no one knows how fast it is. This little thing has a quirk, no matter who catches it, it will keep the same speed as the other party when it escapes, until the other party is tired and half dead, and then leaves as if it were sadistic. Legend has it that an exorcist once encountered a lightning beast and was interested in it, trying to catch it, but met with the same fate.
Since then, the value of this little thing has skyrocketed.
It's just that its IQ is directly proportional to its speed, and until now, I haven't heard of anyone catching one.
The Phantom Silver Crystal can store magical power, and it can indeed support the lightning beast for a long time with it, so it's no wonder that Sarah has a fluke mentality.
After listening to this, Vivien muttered for a while, and then suddenly spoke, "Who told you that there was a lightning beast there?"
Sarah said, "It was heard by a teammate from my exorcism team. ”
"Who?" Vivien asked.
"It's the one they killed. Sarah had a sad look on her face.
"Oh!" Vivien didn't ask again.
But Sarah had already vaguely guessed her thoughts from her questioning: "You mean, he colluded with Perrod to deliberately lead us there? But wasn't he killed by Perrod's men?"
Vivien explained: "I just think it's possible. Even if these are all coincidences, when Nolan appeared, Perold obviously wanted to show his justice and mercy in front of him, and at that time he shouldn't have hurt any of the five of you, but still killed one of your companions. It's paradoxical. ”
"The fact is likely that Nolan's sudden appearance made Perrod feel uncertain, so he simply removed the unstable factor first, so that even if things don't work out, it can be explained as a misunderstanding, and the matter will not be revealed. And the death of an inconsequential person is not the slightest threat to him. ”
Sarah thinks back to a few days ago.
Although that companion was greedy for money, his strength was very good, so everyone had always tolerated him. When he mentioned the lightning beast that day, his expression was extremely urgent, and he looked like he had to go. At that time, she thought that he was greedy for the sky-high price that the lightning beast was selling, and she didn't think about anything else!
Looking back now, the more Sarah thought about it, the more suspicious he felt at that time.
Vivien continued, "If my guess is correct, they use the Lightning Beast to lure you out of the city, and the real target is likely to be the Phantom Silver Crystal! However, I think the probability of success of this approach is pitifully low. With the intelligence and speed of the lightning beast, when it feels tired, it will directly flee as fast as it can. That's a speed that discourages the Exorcist King!"
Sarah admits that Vivien was right, and everyone thought about it at the time, but people are lucky: try, try, maybe you can succeed, and even if you don't succeed, you won't have anything to lose. Who knows, while there is no danger in capturing the Lightning Beast, there is another trap waiting for you.
Sarah thought to herself: Bai has lived for twenty years, and she can't see things as thoroughly as a teenage girl.
Little teenage girl!
Sarah looked at Vivien in front of her: was she really the first to set foot in the mainland as she had guessed?
It seems that I was wrong!.
