The Flame of All Things Chapter 68—The Eve of the Storm (6)

Obviously, no matter how the cardinal described the fresco in a strange way, and how beautifully it was made. After a few price increases, those people were reluctant to raise the price upwards anyway. The giant beast in the painting is lifelike, and the black fire is almost revealing the painting, but how can anyone here understand the value of this painting?

Even the three of Gusuri didn't understand why such a mural of ferocious beasts appeared here. If you have to sell it, the value that can be generated by selling it to the Wu clan and ordinary people is simply very different.

Seeing that no one raised the price, the hammer has been struck twice, and it will be finalized when it falls again. But the highest price is only maintained at 10 million. But the red-robed priest did not intend to give up, his expression was indifferent, and a trace of imperceptible contempt was fleeting. But the three Gusuri below still felt it, and the cardinal gave them a strange feeling.

He said solemnly in English

"Ladies and gentlemen, maybe you still don't understand the value of this painting. This painting has the ultimate secret of this world, which is the end of all science and theology. It truly contains the ultimate goal of humanity, and no one can resist it. ”

The bishop refused to drop the third hammer, and the mysterious man who had bid ten million was a little annoyed, but he only clenched his fists tightly, and did not make any unnecessary movements. There seems to be a mysterious taboo in this church, and everyone here tacitly agrees not to cross that line in their hearts.

Hearing the bishop's words, everyone was a little nervous.

"Immortal" he used a word.

The bishop smiled strangely, and his gown seemed to be filled with a strong wind out of thin air, and the ground seemed to be fat.

Imperishable, eternal.

"Could it be that he is the target?" Guan Zijin's eyes widened.

All the words after opening the mural seemed to show that he knew the secret of the beast, and the last English word almost confirmed that he knew about the existence of the mural. Every king of the beast is immortal, they only sleep in the years and then awaken from all corners of the world at some point.

"Senior brother...... What are we going to do? This person may not be the target, but it certainly has something to do with the goal. Gu Xiaobei asked.

The senior brother showed no surprise or nervousness, and he always looked at the cardinal calmly. The cold eyes are like a lurking hunter, waiting for the moment when the prey reveals its flaws.

He shook his head anyway.

This time, though, he didn't explain why, because he didn't know whether to come forward and grab the cardinal. If they really want to act, neither the eagles above nor the gun-wielding thugs around them can stop them.

But he always had a hunch that something more terrible was yet to come.

So the three of them continued to wait.

But after making such a gesture and making the atmosphere tense, no one is still willing to increase the price anymore. This is a silent auction, and bidders can only show price tags and cannot ask the bishop directly. The doubts, the sneers, and the angry words were all suppressed in my heart.

These people are doing the most vicious and cruel transactions in the world, and naturally they are some of the most evil people. How can he stand the godlike bishop pretentiously on it?

"I think there must be a bomb planted here, or those people would have pulled out their AKs from their coats and fired them at it. Gu Xiaobei said.

This is not a game of papal culture, these scoundrels are here to bid on things. It's not bad if you didn't rob it, but you're obediently here, bullied by that magic stick.

"Possibly. Senior brother Jinglian said

"Really...... Really? Well, might it be better for us to get out first? Gu Xiaobei felt that the senior brother might be true when he opened his mouth.

"Cowardice. Guan Zijin scolded secretly. Gu Xiaobei's nerves were tense, and his ears were very sensitive, so of course he heard it.

"Hey, don't tell me you're not afraid. There are no bombs here...... There must be something scary too. Gu Xiaobei said.

Guan Zijin was really helpless, he felt that he was getting more and more unable to see through Gu Xiaobei. I can't coax it for a while, and I look like a young man with enthusiasm for a while. And just now, he was so frightened by a mural that he almost fainted.

Seeing that the crowd was still indifferent, the cardinal only felt a little amused, and let out a self-deprecating laugh.

"It seems that you are still not interested in such an object. It's a pity that mortals can't understand its value. But let the past pass, I know what you're here for......"

He slammed down the third hammer. The man who had taken the mural for 10 million southern currencies was secretly relieved. Although he didn't quite understand the value of the painting, he heard some clues from the mouth of the god who presided over the auction.

Perhaps this painting really has a value that they can't see.

No one knew what he was thinking, and neither did the rest of the thugs from all over the world. The only thing they care about is the next auction item.

The cardinal clapped his hands, and out of the darkness stepped out of the darkness a stout man in a suit. It was already winter, and almost everyone was wrapped in coats, and he was standing here wearing only a suit.

"Where did you come from?" said Guan Jin, frowning.

If the previous giant eagle was hidden on the stone pillar above the church with its animal instinct and protective color, it was not discovered. But how could this man in a suit and collar just stand in a dark corner without attracting attention?

"Are these people really ordinary people? I have a feeling that they are more mysterious than the Wu Clan, this place is very evil. He continued.

Gu Xiaobei watched the sturdy man in a suit walk forward with a tray, and he remembered the original 'Mr. Qian' in his mind.

The cardinal lifted the black cloth covering the tray, and a delicate pale gold medallion was exposed to the light.

The church was dim, and everyone saw the medal that reflected the golden light for the first time. The previous unhappiness was swept away, and those villains came here for this thing. At this moment, restless emotions are growing, and restless blood is beginning to boil.

Many people stared at the medallion with greed in their eyes.

"Alright, everyone, please withdraw your eyes. Everyone has seen it, and it is not enough to get it with a gun in your hand and a vicious look, only those who have open pockets can take it away. ”

The cardinal covered the medal with a black cloth again, and a contemptuous smile came to his lips again.

"Sure enough...... This thing should be some kind of token or something. There is no actual value, just a symbol of some kind of status or qualification. Jinglian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Something to do with the fair?" Gu Xiaobei asked in surprise.

He originally thought that this medal might be the treasure of some human king in the world thousands of years ago, and then after such a long time, it had a high collection value, so everyone showed a strong interest. But think about the reason why you come to this church during the day.

The medal should be related to the qualification of the 'trade fair'.

The 'trade fair' is the largest event in the new triangle trade, and all kinds of giants come to them, and those who can't see the light of the transaction are naturally not accessible to everyone. And although these villains who are wearing coats and exuding a little murderous aura are also very scary, they are still a lot worse than those big guys.

No wonder they wanted to photograph this medal, probably this medal is the qualification to participate in the 'trade fair'. It's just that what surprised Gu Xiaobei was that the qualification of this 'trade fair' actually had such a great value, what kind of transactions were being carried out there?

Thinking about it this way, the mythical peerless sword in the sky may really appear there.

His palms were sweating slightly.

"Well, this thing seems to be our goal as well. Gu Xiaobei said.

The task given to them by the previous teacher was to find out the information of the 'trade fair' and get the qualifications to enter the 'trade fair'.

But in this situation, it seems that it is unrealistic for them to get this medal. There is no other way than to pull out the gun and dagger from your waist and take out these thugs and the bishop above.

"Pay attention to the eagle above, shoot first. You're in charge of attracting attention, and I'll go get that medal. Remember, if I get it, the sky will be a thunderbolt. The senior brother was still expressionless, and his eyes were full of war.

"To... Is the fight starting?" Gu Xiaobei felt a little sudden.

"No matter who shoots at the end, there will be a war, so it's better to mess up the situation first. A flash of thunder flashed in the senior brother's eyes.

Guan Zijin and Gu Xiaobei looked at the left and right sides and above at the same time.
