Volume 2 Night City Chapter 4 Interlude
In a palatial castle that resembles a palace. A graceful and plump woman was sitting at her desk listlessly looking at information. The woman looked to be in her early thirties, with long, silver-gray hair slightly curled, and a graceful and luxurious dress embellished with dazzling jewels. On the head, neck, hands, and even ankles, the whole body is covered with sparkling jewelry, any one of which is a priceless treasure.
Behind the woman, towered an unusually powerful and tall warrior. He is more than three meters tall and has broad shoulders and a strong body. Wearing a jet-black helmet, two shiny sharp horns stabbing upward, wearing a brand new jet-black heavy armor, and stepping on a pair of heavy jet-black combat boots. The exposed muscles are as hard as rocks. A broad-leaved sword at his waist and a huge axe in his hand. Like an iron tower, it stood motionless behind the woman.
At this time, a short man came to the desk and said respectfully, "Lord Shi, the auction of Treasure Bay will start in a few days. Aren't you going to check it out? ”
"Oh?" The woman was not interested and asked, "Is there anything good?" Don't talk about ordinary pearl agate. You know what I want most. ”
"This ......," the man said embarrassedly, "not yet, but this auction will have the goods of the Sea Dragon Guild on the scene, and there will be an anonymous auction, maybe there will be some surprises." ”
"Hmph." The woman said disdainfully, "The sea dragon may bring back some exotic treasures, but I don't think I have much to look forward to, after all, it has never surprised me." Anonymous auctions? In my opinion, it's just a second-hand market for poor people, and there's nothing good about it. ”
"What your lord said is very true." The man replied respectfully, "Your Excellency, you are rich all over the world, and ordinary treasures really cannot satisfy you. ”
"It's all useless compliments." The woman said dissatisfied, "Let me ask you, the people sent to collect intelligence around the world have been gone for two or three years, and they can't even find a weapon and equipment that satisfies me, it's just a bunch of wine bags and rice bags!" As one of the only eleven five-star guilds in this kingdom, and the richest guild in this kingdom, it is really a shame that I don't even have a single "rare-level" weapon and equipment. ”
"Your Excellency, please stop your anger. The subordinates will definitely send more people to investigate. It's just that...... As you know, the more precious weapons and equipment there are, the less they circulate in the market, and for weapons and equipment such as the "rare level", which can be described as the top level of human beings, not to mention the finished products, even the craftsmen who can create weapons and equipment of this level are very few. Even if I occasionally find a few people who can craft this kind of weaponry, the materials required are extremely difficult to obtain, so I have been ......"
"Alright, alright!" The woman interrupted him and said impatiently, "It's the same explanation every time, I'm tired of hearing it, you can go down." Let me know if there is any good news. After speaking, the woman waved her hand and continued to flip through the materials on the table.
The man then bowed and exited the room.
"I don't want to be a poor woman who hasn't had top-notch weaponry all her life." With that, the woman lay weakly in front of the desk.
