Chapter 37: The Reward Against the Heavens

"The last item to be auctioned is a staff. But unlike the other staffs, it's all made of magic crystals, and it's packed with multiple stable magic arrays to ensure that it won't be broken by external forcesβ€”"

"50 gold coins!" a magician in the audience shouted before the auctioneer could finish speaking.

"Don't worry, gentleman, the reserve price of this staff is 98 gold coins. The auctioneer said mockingly.

This reserve price was set by Lin Qian, and the price of nearly 100 gold coins was indeed daunting to many people, but there were still people who were willing to spend a lot of money to invest.

"100 gold!" someone immediately shouted. 98 is just a gimmick, after all, there is a difference between two-digit and three-digit numbers.

"110!" a shout came from a corner on the second floor.

Lin Qian sat on the top floor and looked through the curtain, it was one of the two major magic families in Azure City. Many of the previous auction items were bought by them, and this time it seems that it was their young master Blake.

"150!" shouted a domineering voice in the other corner, he was Boris, the young master of another magic family.

The magicians on the first floor couldn't sit still, it seemed that this staff was ultimately fought over by the two families, and it was none of their business.

"160!" Blake seemed to be lacking in confidence, and only added 10 gold coins every time the price was raised.

"200!" Boris doesn't seem to care about money, knowing that 200 gold coins is equivalent to 2 million on the earth.

"210!" Blake didn't seem to have enough money, and hesitated for a long time before raising the price.

"250!" Boris made a desperate bet and decided to force the other side to back down this time by raising the price.

Blake's face was gloomy, he wanted this staff to have its own use, but it was probably not worth adding any more. However, he glanced at Boris, and his arrogant face was in full view, and he decided that even if he couldn't buy it, he couldn't let the other party succeed easily.

"260!" Blake interjected when the auctioneer was about to call for a sale.

"Damn!" Boris came to the hand, but now he was being stabbed sideways by the other party, he knew that the other party did not plan to buy it, this was deliberately angry with him.

β€œ300!”

β€œ310!”

"400!" Boris made a killer move directly, and he also decided that if the other party bid again, he would stop, but he didn't show it, and he was also luring the other party to bid.

Blake hesitated again, he didn't dare to bid anymore, but he couldn't bear the arrogance of the other party, if he let him succeed today, I was afraid that he would be laughed at in shame.

"410!" Blake shouted, seeing the smug smile on Boris's face, and immediately regretted it.

But at this time, it is too late, and if you don't buy it, I'm afraid the whole city will know about it the next day.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ 410 The third time!Deal!" As the sound of the falling hammer sounded, although Blake was a little painful, he also had a feeling of defeating the other party, enjoying the adoring eyes of everyone.

"This guy, it can't be pretended on purpose, right?" Boris looked at the happy Blake, his face cloudy.

Lin Qian made a lot of money in this auction, earning more than 1,500 gold coins, which temporarily made up for the shortage of funds.

"Lin Gongzi, please stay. ”

Lin Qian was about to leave, but he heard someone behind him to keep him.

Boris didn't have the arrogance just now, only a flat smile: "Young Master Lin, I have admired the name for a long time." ”

"How dare you," Lin Qian also replied politely, "I would like to thank Master Boris for his generosity tonight." ”

Boris laughed wryly, in fact, he didn't spend much tonight, and most of it was bought by Blake.

"Lin Gongzi, I want to release a task in the future. ”

"Oh?" Lin Qian smiled, what the guild lacked most at this time was this kind of business.

Boris approached Lin Qian and whispered.

"Are you sure?" Lin Qian was a little amused, he didn't understand what these rich people thought in the world.

"Sure. Under the willing to pay an intermediate fee of 100 gold coins. Boris didn't blink an eye when he talked about 100 gold coins.

"100 gold coins?" Lin Qian seemed a little embarrassed, "Master Boris, you must know that offending such a force is not a matter of 100 gold coins. ”

Boris also seemed to feel that it was less, and hurriedly replied: "200 - no, 300 gold coins!"

Lin Qian saw that he still wanted to add, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it." Speaking of which, I am also a master who is not afraid of things, who told me that I am short of money now. Do you say?"

Boris achieved his goal, thanked and thanked, and then went back satisfied. Lin Qian looked at his back and shook his head, a little funny.

The next day, the halls of the Magic Guild were suddenly filled with people. The reason is none other than the bounty mission that was just released this morning.

"Now we are looking for people with lofty ideals to obtain the head of Blake, the young master of the Charles Magic Family in Blue City, and I am willing to give 100 gold coins to reward you. ”

Is this crazy? There is such a task? Who wants to take it? There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and there were really a few people who were excited to look at the 100 gold coins, but more of them were watching the excitement.

"What are you talking about? such a thing?" Blake stomped his foot in anger, but he quickly thought about what had happened last night, and thought to himself that guy had done it.

"The Magic Guild is really a bit excessive, and it even doesn't care about our family's face. Patriarch Charles was not too excited to sit in the right seat, he believed that no one would dare to break in and cause trouble.

"Father, this must have been done by Boris, the boy stole his things last night, and he deliberately humiliated me with the hands of the Magic Guild. Blake was a little annoyed when he remembered what had happened last night.

"What happened last night?" Charles didn't know about the young master.

Blake had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the truth.

"Bastard!" Charles said angrily, "you spent so much gold to gamble on a breath?

The boy just thought that the prince's birthday was approaching, and wanted to buy it as a gift. Blake had no choice but to explain.

Charles's anger subsided a little, although his eldest son was easily impulsive, but his mind was quite delicate, and he could usually help him share some affairs.

"I won't pursue this matter, you stay at home these days, be careful that some people who don't know how to kill in. I'm going to go to the Magic Guild and ask for myself. Charles's eyes narrowed. He's also a near-full-fledged magician, and he never gives in.

The release of this mission is destined to bring trouble, and Lin Qian knows this, but the friction with the magic family will happen sooner or later, so it is better to have a direct showdown this time.

"Lin Gongzi is so bold!" Charles came in a questioning tone, which made Lin Qian very unhappy.

"It's just a big deal. ”

Charles sneered: "Although the business is big, the price is not small. Didn't Lin Gongzi never think that he would offend anyone?"

Lin Qian did not back down: "Our guild has never been afraid of offending people, as long as someone is willing to pay, I think the price is right, then there is a talk." ”

"Oh, isn't Lin Gongzi afraid of anyone?" Charles felt that the person in front of him was too arrogant, and he didn't seem to be the master of great things.

"It depends on what Patriarch Charles offers. Lin Qian was also not to be outdone.

"What if I want toβ€”buy your life?" Charles said word for word.

Lin Qian replied without hesitation: "Yes, the intermediate fee is at least 1,000 gold coins, and the bounty fee is about 50 silver coins." ”

Charles smiled, is the young man in front of him funny?

"Please give a detailed explanation to Mr. Lin. ”

"My life is not worth much, and my magic level is not high, it is easy to kill me, 50 silver coins is about the same. However, considering the position of the president of the Magic Guild, it will not end well if you offend me, so we can only add a little intermediate fee. ”

Charles was a little stunned, this guy was not even afraid of death, and he couldn't think of any other means of threat.

"Lin Gongzi's Magic Guild has just been established for a day, do you want to be an enemy of everyone?"

"As I said, I'll only accept job requests, as long as the price is right. If Patriarch Charles is willing to spend money, what if he is the enemy of the world?"

"Even the entire empire?" Charles asked coldly.

"The whole empire, I'm afraid you can't afford it. Lin Qian sneered.

"What about a princess, or a prince?" said Charles, who did not believe them, and he dared to offend.

"Princess? you mean Elena, right? She is about the level of an eighth-level magician, and there are top masters around her, the price is too great, the bounty fee is at least 10,000 gold coins, and the intermediate fee is 5,000 gold coins. As for the prince, the bounty is 9,000, and the middle fee is 5,000 gold. Lin Qian was not sloppy in his calculations.

Charles didn't ask for anything at all, and his face was blue with anger: "Good, good, good." Lin Gongzi really has the guts, then I will accompany him to the end, I will apply for the princess's reward today, Lin Gongzi dare to accept it? and Lin Gongzi's business I also applied, and I will pay 1,000 gold coins for the reward. ”

This is to go bankrupt to play with Lin Qian! A family's net worth can probably be hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and Charles is really wealthy, even more powerful than his son's loser.

Lin Qian almost applauded, and it was a pity that he didn't offer a reward for the prince, and he earned 9,000 gold coins less. Lin Qianqiang held back a smile, turned around and called the next person over, wrote the announcement, handed it to the person, and asked him to release it immediately.

"Patriarch Charles, now pay the intermediate fee and the bounty fee. You can rest assured, our guild has always paid attention to the privacy of employers, and will never disclose your information, even if the princess asks, we will never compromise!" Lin Qian swore and promised.

Charles gritted his teeth and took out two golden tickets representing 10,000 gold coins: "The rest of the money will be added to your bounty fee." ”

"Well, good!" Lin Qian shouted to wake up the stunned subordinate, "Hey, do you hear me? My bounty has been increased to 4,000 gold coins." Go ahead and post, we need to be more efficient so that employers don't get dissatisfied. ”

The subordinate walked down tremblingly, and then drew up a specific text and wrote this ungodly announcement: Now looking for people with lofty ideals, take the head of Princess Elena of the Blue Empire, and offer a reward of 10,000 gold coins, and find another person with lofty ideals, take the head of the Magic Guild President Lin, and offer a reward of 4,000 gold coins.
