Chapter 357: The Ruler of the Black Market
A whole afternoon was wasted.
Brienne had been prepared for this for a long time, and these Chaos Cultists had traveled thousands of miles from "Aldolph" to participate in the auction, and they must have a special purpose, if it was just "daily" purchases, then they could go to other black markets that were closer to each other, such as the "Drakovard Black Forest" in the north, the vast and gloomy Black Forest was also famous for hiding dirt and dirt.
The blonde mercenary also took the time to browse the auction catalogue behind the invitation, and there was really nothing special to note in the afternoon lot, so their real goal was indeed the ten goodies for the finale of the evening.
What is it that attracts these cultists who believe in chaos?
During the short break in the auction, Brienne's stomach was full of food in addition to doubts, anyway, there were old bones who didn't need to eat and drink to stare at, and she was not polite if she hadn't eaten for a day, and took Fitandila to eat a round belly.
I have enough to eat at night before I have the strength to move.
Her plan was simple, no matter what the other party liked in this auction, as soon as the auction house came out, the three of them would follow, waiting for an opportunity to make a move before they left the black market.
Although there is a certain risk in doing so, it will attract the attention of the black market guards, but Brienne knows that there are hundreds of exits in the magic space of the "Ruins of the Three Towers", and some of them are still randomly changing, so even if they go out after each other, they may be lost, and they can only risk doing it in the black market, so the plan is very demanding, and one of them must be subdued in the shortest possible time, and then take people out of the exit before the guards react.
The preferred target has been determined, and that is the only mage, who is obviously the leader of the three, and the success rate of sneaking up on the legal profession is relatively high.
With the old bones, a superb hero who is proficient in melee combat, the success rate of the whole plan is still very high, Brienne and Fitandila only need to involve the other two silver swordsmen, but after they succeed, they should not want to step into the "ruins of the three towers" again in this life, and may even attract a series of pursuits.
It was a bit of a risk, but for them, since they knew about the existence of these three Broken Wheel cultists, they had already made up their minds to do it.
Especially Brienne, it seems a pity to be blacklisted by the "Ruins of the Three Towers", she values this mixed place very much, especially after discovering the green skin of Lentil, a member of the future "Ruin Council", she has some more thoughts in her heart, but it doesn't matter, these are not important compared to the safety of the little bell, and it is a big deal to wait for her true body to recover in the future, and she will find a way to come over.
An hour passed quickly, and as the thin and short figure of Goblin Lentil reappeared on the stage, the atmosphere in the hall reached a new climax again, and the interruption of the auction did not affect the mood of everyone present, on the contrary, after eating and drinking, they could wait for the main event without distraction.
Everyone knows that the afternoon lot is just an appetizer, and many of the big names have just arrived at the Champs-Elysées, and the curtains of many boxes on the second and third floors have been quietly opened, and as long as you look up slightly, you can see many famous faces in the "Three Towers Ruins" and even the entire underground black market circle.
As a means of marketing, the Champs-Élysées, although nominally kept the evening lot secret, in fact spread the information about most of the lots through various channels, otherwise it would not have attracted buyers like the "Broken Wheel" from afar, let alone the real dignitaries upstairs, each of whom should have a detailed copy of the remaining lots, and at this time they just had the time to enjoy the wine, food and beauty around them, waiting for an opportunity to spend a lot of money.
Of course, there are also a few buyers in the box who hide their identities for various reasons, and they will deliberately use curtains to block the view from the outside, and they can only vaguely see some figures shaking.
"Distinguished guests, long wait! I'm lentils, no nonsense, the evening auction starts now! ”
This time, the goblin auctioneer could no longer hear the sound of ridicule after he spoke, and everyone's attention was focused on the auction that was about to begin.
The only exception might be Brienne, who has the old bones staring at the Broken Wheel trio, and she could have set her mind on some other place, like the big names above her head.
After looking around, she found that this auction was really extraordinary, and all the boxes upstairs were already full, and there were some familiar faces among them.
One of the most dazzling pearls is the graceful Lady Aurora of the "Black Cat's Tail", at this time she changed into a well-groomed dress, a long black silk dress with a rose pattern, a white fox shawl with snow-white shoulders, and a black cat with silver pupils still in her arms.
Although she was sitting, this posture did not diminish the lethality of her long legs on her lower body, not to mention that between the parted skirts, a layer of hazy black silk could be faintly seen.
Ever since an unscrupulous alchemist accidentally synthesized stockings during an experiment, this expensive but unprotective new product has become popular among aristocratic women, and it is an out-and-out luxury, such as Fitandila was also frightened by the high price of stockings that occasionally appeared in the "Fetenburg" market, and until now, the lord of the city has not bothered to buy them, of course, because she feels that it is useless to herself.
With her exquisite face, proud figure, and condescending position, Mrs. Vampire is undisputed the most eye-catching of all the open boxes on the third floor, and even when the auction is in full swing, there are many people who quietly turn their heads, look at her tirelessly, and then make the sound of swallowing saliva.
As for why she was seen on the third floor, Brienne was not surprised at all, because she knew that this vampire had a more noble identity than the proprietress of the tavern.
Aurora the Black Cat, as the personal representative of the Queen of the Lamia Family, is also one of the original nine members of the "Ruin Council", an identity that has existed in the game until decades later, and no one can shake it.
Next door to this dazzling stunner, Brienne also saw two familiar figures, the janitor Halbert and Vader, the halfling man was still sitting on the shoulder of the ogre as always, these two were doing the work of bodyguards today, and behind the tall ogre sat an old man, who couldn't see the face and figure clearly, but the identity was about to come out.
There is only one person who is qualified to command the gatekeeper in the ruins of the Three Towers, and that is the president of the "Ruin Council", the nominal supreme ruler of the entire black market.
I didn't expect this person to come in person.
At this time, even Brienne became interested in the upcoming auction.
