Chapter 418: A Farewell to the Years
At the auction site, in the second-class seats on the first floor, Thor's sudden bid was like a prince suddenly coming out of a group of frogs, which caused exclamation and rolling eyes from the surroundings. Damn it, since you have the money, what mushrooms are you holding on the first floor?
The most important thing is that when the price was pushed to the highest at that time, everyone thought that the hammer was going to fall, Saul suddenly made a move, and instantly successfully attracted the attention of the audience. Fortunately, Thor's hooded robe was tightly covered, and everyone had long been accustomed to the appearance of this black-robed freak.
Then the price goes from thirty-four, thirty-five...... Thirty-nine went all the way up, and there was a pause when he reached Thor's forty dragon's eyes.
After a short silence, the price of fifty longans was quoted, and apparently the other party directly increased the price of ten longans. I don't know who is playing tricks with me, the sound just now seems to be coming from upstairs, Thor roughly looked up, but no one saw it.
Thor is not in a hurry, and continues to quote the price of fifty-one, if you are sixty, I will be sixty-one, anyway, I will smash a hundred dragons first.
In fact, there is a skill in raising the price, and it has been a small amount of money, or a large amount of deterrence, in the final analysis, it is just a small psychological trick. Thor didn't bother to pull those eggs, if he didn't knock down the other party after smashing the dragon eye in his hand, it was time to set up a criminal plan.
Who knew that as soon as Sol finished quoting the price of fifty-one, a beautiful shiitake mushroom suddenly came to Sol's side, and then said to Sol.
"Dear sir, my husband advises everyone to stop at this price, why bother with the auction house. He is willing to own half of the goods on the table with you, because he says you are his friend. So said the beautiful shiitake mushroom that came suddenly.
At the same time that the strange mushroom approached him and bowed his head to speak, the price of fifty-two longans was offered upstairs, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to negotiate here downstairs, and then the time would be delayed for too long and he would lose the bidding power on the stage, and finally the goods would fall into his hands.
Your husband, friend, Saul, quickly went through the people he knew in Odrenna, and there was no answer.
He then remembered that I was almost so disguised that I couldn't even recognize myself now, what the hell bullshit friend? If he really knew me, I would still be a fart? I'm afraid I would have gone straight to the Dark Council to report the case, right? Ancient evil is coming! Slow down, be careful of being polluted!
Besides, can bidders communicate with each other in the auction? I'm afraid this is deliberately smashing other people's venues, right? This is......
Thor's eyes rolled, this was obviously some kind of shit strategy, sending a beautiful shiitake mushroom to confuse himself. If you usually do this, you may be able to tease it, but this thing Thor is determined to get, the key is that you have a husband and come to tell me what meteor hammer?
"Who is your husband?" asked Thor as he raised his card, pushing the price to fifty-three, asserting his right to bid.
"Truly, my husband says you are his friend, and I vouch for nothing in the name of the Murphylla family. Shiitake said.
How many mushrooms is the Murfila family worth? I, the Great Demon King of Thor, are I going to say it? It's not subtle at all.
At this moment, the upstairs pushed the price to fifty-four again, and poked out a dog's head to beckon to him, as if he was very familiar.
Saul's eyes rolled again, and he didn't bother to dwell on the question of who her husband was. It may be better for the other party to deceive himself, which coincides with his own criminal plan, and he will be more at ease when he grabs it, so that he can beat the eggs.
As for the question raised by the other party, in the end, the Magic Crystal Source was divided into half of the goods. If the other party really didn't deceive himself, the part he could get in his hand would actually be enough for the amount he needed, Sol thought in his heart.
"Alright then, I'll give up my right to bid. Since they are friends, they should go up and pay a visit. Thor waved at the unknown shiitake mushroom.
Thor didn't think he needed any strategy, as long as he saw the main owner himself, whether it was a lie or a conspiracy, he could see it at a glance in an instant. It was only by meeting this so-called 'friend' that Thor was able to make his next plan more accurately.
"Yes, my husband must be looking forward to meeting you as well, please come with me. Unknown Shiitake turned around and began to lead the way.
So the price of the hammer on the stage finally stopped at the last fifty-four dragon's eyes, and the thing fell into the hands of his 'friend' who came out halfway. When the bidding hammer fell, Thor was following the unknown shiitake mushroom in front of him to the second floor of the auction room.
This shiitake mushroom has a certain posture, and the little butt that leads the way is not swaying, well, obviously has a good upbringing and etiquette.
The staircase leading to the second floor is also carpeted, and the staircase is guarded by several auction house personnel, presumably to deal with some temporary incident. Seeing Thor and Shiitake mushrooms, those people did not stop them, but their attitude was very respectful, and it seemed that the Murphyla family had a lot of face.
Following the unknown shiitake mushroom through the ornate hallway on the second floor, the two eventually stopped outside a room draped with ornate curtains.
"Guest, please first. Unknown Shiitake politely stretched out his white palm to lift the curtain, and then extended an invitation to Thor.
"Excuse me. Thor bowed his head in thanks, and then stepped through the curtain into the room with a wary step.
The whole room is a semi-open layout, with a curved terrace in front of the front, which has a wide view, and you can keep track of the movements of the auction hall from a high vantage point. There is not much special about the room except for the ornate decoration and furnishings.
There were no enemies in ambush that Thor had expected, only the figure of a mage robe who looked fairly tall stood on the edge of the terrace.
The figure was leaning on the delicate pyroxene railing of the terrace in front of him with both hands, as if he was looking at the bustle of the entire auction room, and the noise would occasionally float up from downstairs, but it did not affect the communication of the people in the room. As if hearing Thor's arrival, the other party turned around.
At the moment when he saw the specific appearance of the other party, although there was no expression on Thor's face, his heart was actually full of shock.
There are two reasons, one is that he really knows this man. This was clearly when he was still in the territory of Grey Curtain at the time, the second son of Lord Savion, Faith Agrlinton, the last time the two saw each other should be a few years ago when Thor made a big ball.
Another reason for the shock is that, from a standpoint, Faith is likely to be a member of the Dark Council system, and that he is an ancient evil that the Dark Council hates. To say that there is a hostile relationship between Saul and Firth actually makes sense.
So now the question arises, since Faith invited himself in the name of a friend, did he deny himself?
Or was it just a coincidence? It was the two men who had a confrontation over the same item at the auction, which was why he had caught Feith's attention? Thor wasn't sure for a moment, but suddenly felt that the word 'friend' had become a bit playful at the moment.
In many cases, a 'friend' is a friend, but in many social situations, a 'friend' is just a temporary social means of bringing the relationship closer. Saul found it amusing, even if Firth recognized himself as Saul Drake, the sound of a friend might not be appropriate.
After all, back then in Gray Curtain Town, he was just a grizzled orphan, and the other party was a high-ranking young master of the family. Although the two knew each other in the monastery, and it can even be said that they had lived together for a while, they never communicated in the slightest.
Later, Faith seems to have embarked on the path of a magician, and invited himself before leaving. He sat on the main seat across from the table and said some whimsical encouragement, while he sat at the end of the table as an invitee.
The final outcome of that recruitment was that he didn't work in the end, and Faith was not embarrassed, and everyone was separated from each other.
Later, he was cursed, thinking that he was about to cross the boundary between life and death, and then went to the main city of Odrenza with a heart of death, ready to make a bloody cross as a tribute to the death of Lucia and the villagers of Undercurrent. At that ball, Faith was also seen.
It's just that at that time, at a hurried glance, Fez may have recognized himself, but unfortunately he was desperate. waited until the killing was released later, and he didn't die after a few blood-devouring sessions, and then he fled in a hurry, and naturally there was no chance to catch up with Fez.
That should be the last time the two of them met, and then they parted for many years, until today.
After all, the past between two people, even if it is spread out on the table now, to use the word 'friend', is actually a bit reluctant. After all, there has never been any friendship and foundation between them, and those pasts are a little long ago after all.
But at the moment, it doesn't really matter if you're a 'friend' or not, and you have come to Odrenna for your own purpose. Whether Faith recognized himself as Thor, or whether he had prepared any tricks for himself, should soon be clear.
"Sit down, it's not easy to see you!" Faith smiled and spread his hands, motioning for Thor to take a seat. Compared with the cold arrogance and domineering in his impression, his appearance is now more mature and calm, and the whole person seems to be more friendly.
"Then bother. To Fez's seemingly familiar tone, Thor maintained basic politeness, smiling painlessly.
When Thor was seated, Faith sat down across from the small round table. The beautiful shiitake mushroom, who led Thor, reached out to lift the flask on the table, and poured wine for the two men facing each other at the table. Then she sat down beside Faith and shoved her little hand into Faith's hand.
"Oh, sorry, it's not officially introduced yet. This is my wife, Susie Murphylar, and I probably haven't mentioned this to you yet, after all, we haven't seen each other in years, and he's my countryman......" Firth paused slightly.
Hearing Feith's slight pause, it became clear to Saul that the word 'fellow countryman' actually said it all. Faith had apparently recognized himself, though he didn't know how he had seen through his disguise, and then left room for himself.
"Hello, Lady Murphylla, in Lower Dille Aesop, from Pandor. "Thor immediately connected it with a needle, not Saul Drake, nor Buu Solanke, but stole Diller's name, who have I been afraid of in the northern borderlands?
