At the critical moment when the atmosphere of the box was frozen and the battle was about to break out, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the door, as well as the voice of the female mage Liadrin.

"Moria, the auction house guy came and said that the last auction was about to start, and asked if we should go down and have a look."

This has always been the practice of the Champs-Élysées, and if a particularly precious and rare lot is encountered, the guests upstairs will be invited to the hall to participate in the auction up close.

This is done to facilitate bidding at auction, to allow buyers with deep pockets to see the lots, and to create an atmosphere of excitement.

Watching the fire from across the shore is, of course, not as simple and direct as hand-to-hand combat.

"Go! If you don't shoot, you have to go! ”

Moria, in what appeared to be an ambiguous posture to outsiders, replied without raising her head, her eyes still staring viciously at the human woman opposite.

Brienne's eyes, who had just let go of her cruel words, also became fierce, and she could vaguely see a little bit of the tyrannical shadow of the orc body.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and the dark elf finally let out a cold snort, and a deft backflip jumped away, and when they landed, a pair of daggers were already stuck back into their waists, as if they had never been unsheathed.

"I'll settle accounts with you when the auction is over!"

……

When Brienne went downstairs, the hall was already packed, not because of how many people entered, in fact, the whole auction house was closed after seven o'clock, and only people were allowed to go out and not enter, and several entrances were heavily guarded to prevent anyone from trying to get out and send them to death.

The reason why it suddenly became more crowded was that the best view in front of the stage was separated from each other, and the VIPs who had been sitting on the second and third floors were all standing loosely inside.

The enchanting and glamorous vampire lady Aurora, the chattering goblin shaman Alana, the oily ogre butcher Solim, the depressed necromancer Kovavich, the Dark Elf sisters who have just come down and some characters with heads and faces in the underworld are almost all down.

A veritable VIP area.

It's just that they don't seem to deal with each other very much, especially between the dark elf mage and the vampire lady, and even there is a spark in their eyes.

Moria wanted the mercenary to come with her, but Brienne refused without hesitation, and she had to go to her companion and keep an eye on the "Broken Wheel", and that was the point.

No matter what the final lot is, it basically has nothing to do with her.

The ultra-difficult thing of the empty glove white wolf is already rare to succeed once, and she doesn't expect to repeat this kind of good thing.

finally squeezed to Amanam Horton's side, and Fitandila, who had just been sent to find a vampire, also returned, and there was one more person next to him, naturally the "white wolf" who had just returned with empty gloves.

Seeing her come back, the old bone immediately asked about the dimensional stone, Brienne thought it was too troublesome to explain, and only said that everything had been settled, and the rest would be said after the auction was over.

"The auction house just said that her name is Elisabeth von Draken, by the way, what about this chain?"

Brienne and Fitandila now play the role of Amanam Horton's mercenaries, so the chains that symbolize slave ownership are still in his hands.

"Huh? Female? Don't untie the chain yet, give it to Fitandila, you are responsible for taking care of her, there are so many people here, don't be snatched away by people fishing in troubled waters, hundreds of thousands of gold crowns, old bones, you continue to stare at those people. ”

It turned out that this child, who was defenseless and had a face like stagnant water, was still a little girl, and Brienne didn't have time to sigh, when a burst of cheers suddenly sounded in front of her, and it should be that the auction had begun.

Sure enough, someone appeared on the stage, but it wasn't the previous goblin or an earlier human auctioneer, but a halfling old man.

"Who is this? Are there any new auctioneers? ”

"I mean, what kind of eyes do you look at, you ogre, this is the council chief! Listen to him as the butchers of your tribe! ”

"Huh? It's not enough for me to eat......"

Many guys in the audience who have been in the black market for a long time recognized this person's identity at a glance, and it turned out to be the president of the "Ruin Council".

"It turns out that the supreme ruler of the ruins of the Three Towers is a halfling? ”

Fitandila said in surprise, in her cognition, aren't halflings a group of peace-loving and docile good people, the thief master she met when she entered the door before was enough to surprise her, and it turned out that there was a black market council president.

"Who do you think first discovered this place was a halfling!"

Brienne wasn't surprised by this, in fact she knew far more than most of the people present.

Geographically speaking, the forest where the "Ruins of the Three Towers" is located is next to the hometown of the halflings, the "Mutt Dominion", and it was the halflings who discovered the magical space in this ruin, but for some reason, they did not report it to the Empire, but secretly took possession of it, and gradually developed it into an underground black market with unlimited potential and the ability to create countless gold coins.

The head of the "Ruin Council", this position has always been held by halflings, and not only that, but it is said that those who can sit in this position will automatically become a member of the presbyterian council, the supreme governing body of the "Mut Dominion".

The relationship between the "ruins of the Three Towers" and the halfling is definitely much closer than it seems on the surface, and in short, the former is the cash cow of the latter.

This is not counting the biggest secret of this black market, in her previous life, Brienne also knew an even more explosive news, the so-called faceless ninth seat, actually belonged to the "Black Sun" family.

That's right, it's the family of the Elector of the "Ivey Collar"!

Not only halflings, but also the legitimate ruler of this land, who is also one of the backers of the "ruins of the Three Towers", except that the ninth seat may be the wife of the Elector, or perhaps the courtier of the Elector, anyway, they are all his cronies.

Although this councillor almost never attends the meetings of the "Ruin Council", it is self-evident that every year the income from the black market is honestly distributed to him in proportion to the revenue.

Is it true that Aviheim doesn't know about the existence of the black market?

This is the fundamental reason why the "Ruins of the Three Towers" has developed so quickly.

Black and white take all.

The underworld, whether it is greenskins, rat people, or ogres around, as long as there are new forces that stand out, they will be attracted to the "Ruin Council" and become a part of the black market.

Bai Dao, there are halfling elders to manage daily affairs, and there is the Elector himself as a backer, as stable as an old dog.

It's just that few people in the entire black market know about these secret relationships, and even if many people can recognize the halfling on the stage, they don't know the other identity he represents, just as the ruler here.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will not waste my tongue in introducing myself, because this last lot is so precious, so I will be the auctioneer. We're sure you're all excited about the wonderful auction just now, so let's start tonight's final auction to bring the "Ruins of the Three Towers" auction to a close! ”

The Halfling Council Leader has a kind face and a simple tone, looking like a harmless old man, but in fact he is the most powerful person in the entire black market, and some people say that the troops under his control can easily wipe out an ordinary green-skinned tribe or nezumi clan.

In addition, there are rumors that he is actually the boss behind the "Champs-Élysées", and I believe that after today, this rumor will not be a rumor, but a fact.

The halfling council president, who made his first guest appearance as an auctioneer, was very dutiful and continued to create suspense and create atmosphere.

"Congratulations on seeing with your own eyes a treasure that cannot be measured by money, and believe me, when you pronounce its name, you will understand that it is not an exaggeration to emphasize its preciousness again and again, on the contrary, you will only feel that this is the treatment it deserves."

"The last lot tonight, from the continent of Lustria, Ancient! Saint! Stone! Board! ”
