Chapter 449: Bad Intentions
The long sword box made of Ziying Nanmu attracted the attention of everyone in the venue from the moment it was moved to the auction table, and after a short silence, the atmosphere of the auction instantly boiled to a peak, because everyone knew that the focus of tonight's auction had finally arrived.
"I don't think I need to introduce it below, but all the distinguished guests know what to expect to be showcased." The auctioneer said in an elegant and humorous manner, "That's right, what is about to appear now is the rumored strongest weapon that symbolizes the miracle of forging - the rune sword!" The source of this legendary treasure has been detailed in the list of auction items sent to you, so I won't talk about them one by one here, so you must be in a hurry at this moment, right? But don't be impatient...... Next, Master Bradley will show us the style of this rune sword in an all-round way! ”
As soon as the words fell, a majestic and heroic man slowly walked out of the curtain in the backstage of the auction table, he looked around the venue with a cold and arrogant expression, his eyes were like sharp sword blades piercing people's hearts, and many timid guests did not dare to look away from him, or lowered his head.
Bradley's appearance posture seemed arrogant and domineering, but all the guests were silent, and they didn't dare to take a breath of anger, even if there was more resentment buried in their hearts.
The reason is simple, this Lord Bradley is an extraordinary powerhouse who has stepped into the realm of law.
Many guests secretly thought to themselves that the auction invited Lord Bradley not only to test the sword, but also to warn some guys who secretly harbored bad intentions.
Bradley didn't waste much time then, opened the lid of the sword box, he reached out and picked up a long sword with a pitch-black body and slowly held it high in front of his chest, and with the inscription runes releasing a faint dark light, a soul-piercing force swept the entire venue in an instant.
"Everyone! I think you all clearly feel the power of this legendary artifact. As we all know, the biggest feature of the rune sword is that it comes from the power of the law rune engraved on the sword body, once the rune power is damaged. The power of the rune sword is also affected by Yan zhòng, but even so. The rune sword with damaged runes is also far superior to the inscription sword with the ultimate forging. ”
At this time, the auctioneer stood up and spoke at the right time.
"This rune sword named Ash was excavated on the coast of PolyLanka, and it took several times before it entered our auction house, and after the identification of the club's digital appraisers, the history of this rune sword can be traced back to the era of natural disasters tens of thousands of years ago1, and after countless years of changes, it cannot hide its light, and we can even feel the darkest and heavy historical breath of mankind from it......"
After the auctioneer talked about the value of the rune sword, there were more and more dissatisfied people in the stands. The auctioneer seems to realize his mistake and immediately starts bidding!
When the figure of 100,000 yuan was scrambling to be the first to be the first, the price of this rune sword had soared to around 2 million in a short time, and it was still in a state of continuous rise, but the fluctuation of the price increase was not as exaggerated as it was at the beginning.
In the end, the rune sword was bought by a mysterious dignitary in a box for 4.62 million.
"Mr. Roelsey, now let's go back to the topic just now, what exactly does the Mr. DeWitt you are talking about have to do with my presence today?"
Anse El took a deep breath to suppress the restlessness disturbed by the atmosphere around him, and turned his head to look at Rolsay, who was still immersed in it. The voice was cold.
"Aren't you sending someone to secretly investigate the source of foreign money that has recently been circulating in the market? Dewitt: He was the one who sold those currencies. Rolsay said nonchalantly.
Ansel's face changed, and his eyes quickly looked at the seat in the corridor below, but DeWitt and the other man were no longer in the seat.
He stood up abruptly. A waiter who hurriedly walked to the box shouted, "Take me to the trading backstage of your auction items immediately!" ”
……
……
When Ansel returned to the box with a grim face, the auction had already ended and the guests had left.
Russell leaned back in his chair leisurely, waiting for the other party's departure and return, shaking the brightly colored wine glass in his hand, and the smile on his lips reflected his current mood.
The successful conclusion of the auction was indeed a positive blessing for him who was in charge of the management this time, but unfortunately the Anse Air opposite was completely different.
"Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?" Soon after entering, Anse El asked sharply.
"I'm so sorry. Because I didn't think this would be so important to you. Rolsay was not stunned at all, and said in a light tone. How? You didn't find them? ”
"Humph! By the time I got to the back office, I learned that they had completed the transaction and left. Where do you ask me to go to them? Ansel snorted coldly. Since DeWitt was invited by you, you should know where he lives! ”
"53 Bell and Drum Street. If I'm not mistaken. Rolsey took a slow sip of his drink.
Ansel, who had received a definite answer, turned away without saying a word.
"Lord Roelsey, do we need to send someone to inform DeWitt?"
At some point, there was a low voice in the box, and Rolsay closed his eyes and whispered, "There is no need to make a fuss, it can just be regarded as a test for Dewitt to see if he is qualified to join us." ”
"Understood." The voice of the room said respectfully.
"It's really interesting, I didn't expect DeWitt to hook up with a suspect murderer of unknown origin, not at all like his original way of acting, what is the reason for him to take risks? I can't figure it out! Rolsay lamented.
"People in the industry say that he is a mercenary guy, maybe he can't refuse the benefits brought by the other party." The voice in the room guessed.
"If a businessman is not mercenary, is he still a qualified businessman?" Russell shook his head and chuckled, turning away from the question. "By the way, have you investigated who the distinguished guest of the rune sword is at auction?"
"My lord, the other party is Sir Demps." The voice of the room said.
"It's him! I understand. "Rohr Circuit: "I heard that his youngest son was promoted to the upper class a few days ago, tsk, a genius who was born under the age of twenty, it is not surprising that he will buy a rune sword, maybe in less than thirty years, the Sir Demps family will give birth to a law powerhouse, and then Savelica will be lively, I remember that Sir Demps is a staunch royalist, if he can avoid the open guns and hidden arrows of the parliamentary party, the future is absolutely limitless." ”
"Lord Rolsey, according to his intelligence sources, the members of the Savellika Parliamentary Party have appeared in Monteres, do we need to ......" the voice in the room said solemnly.
"Leave this to Bradley, Sir Demps's royalist party has always been one of our biggest collaborators, and his life is not trivial, and I don't want to deal with the arrogant and impudent roosters of the parliamentary party anymore." Rolsay waved his hand.
Meanwhile.
Xia Lan, who left the auction early, parted ways with DeWitt after completing the transaction settlement in the backstage of the auction house, and disappeared alone in the vast night.
In fact, he just turned a dark alley, and when he walked out again, he had changed into an unfamiliar shape, and sneaked back into the auction room.
He had only one purpose.
Since he didn't have the funds to shoot the rune sword he wanted, he might as well try something else.
For example, illustrate robbery!
Xia Lan has always been familiar with this kind of thing, and she has no guilt at all.
At the beginning of the rune sword auction, he had been paying attention to everyone who was bidding, and quickly left the auction after locking the auction winner's breath, without the slightest drag.
The wait to hold your breath in secret is long, and you can only pay off with enough patience.
Time passed quietly on the hands, the clear and hazy purple moon hung high in the sky, and after the auction ended, the guests left in an orderly manner, but the auction winner locked by Xia Lan still did not appear.
However, reality did not give him any more variables.
The auction winner appeared.
The other party is an elegant middle-aged man dressed in good manners, exuding a graceful and noble temperament, and even ordinary people can guess his identity at a glance.
Aristocrat!
There were six people accompanying him, and they surrounded him from different angles, each of whom had a cold and resolute look on their faces, which resembled the style characteristics of a soldier, especially the aura they deliberately released, which seemed to warn the people around them not to approach.
It's a bit tricky!
Perceiving the realm level of the entourage, Xia Lan sighed inwardly.
Three upper beginners, two upper intermediate levels, and one upper peak.
If it is hard to take it, Xia Lan is not sure at all, and now he can only rely on outwitting, but the question is how to outwit? It's a problem.
