[Space Ring, a high-grade alchemy item whose production method has long been lost, there is an inscription on the belly of this ring, written in the script of the Magic Empire that has long disappeared from history - 'Knowledge is power']

[Remx's joke, Remx is a very powerful brass dragon, he is extremely good at magic, and loves human society, especially human women, so he created this constant 'human transfiguration' enchanted ring for him to blend in with humans]

[Tiamat's whisper, this enchanted ring with the name of the five-colored dragon queen, but it has nothing to do with the dragon queen herself, a legendary mage tried to use some methods to obtain the power of the dragon queen, so he made this ring, only to find that in addition to the 'dragon power' spell once every three days, there is always a strange call in this ring: hand over your money......]

Three rings, the most valuable is naturally the space ring, not to mention the value of the ring itself, the space inside it stores all the belongings of the green dragon for hundreds of years, but in the face of death, even if it is greedy for money like a dragon, it will be painful to choose to spend money to buy life.

Cleaning up a dragon's accumulation over hundreds of years can be a painful process, as it's hard to judge the value of the dragon's collection, so Shepard drops the spatial ring to the half-plane and decides to think about it later.

The second ring was directly thrown back to the green dragon, and it was of no use to him.

As for the third ring, he thought about it and put it away, it seems that the green dragon can only dismantle the earth elemental elder head-on by this spell, but he plans to sacrifice this thing to the platinum dragon god when he has time to see what wonderful effect it will have......

In order to let the green dragon recuperate with peace of mind, Shepard left him the pile of gold coins next to his bed, in fact, he was also a little worried that if he got it all, it would not be good for this green dragon to have an epiphany of the 'four major empty'.

When he put away the golem, walked out of the dragon's den, and sat on the steel-feathered griffin, which was originally one of the back hands, Shepard realized that what he had thought would be a very complicated and wonderful dragon slaying journey ended so uneventfully......

……

Prell Collar, Bloucester City, City Square.

The tall bulletin board was pasted with several notices from the Earl's Court, and the merchants who came and went glanced at it inadvertently, and then came to the crowd in surprise.

"By order of the brave and merciful lord, the trusted friend of Her Majesty, the Lord's staunch ally of the nobles of the kingdom, and the legal ruler of the Prell Lord, Lord Prell, I hereby announce."

"A grand auction hosted by the Earl's Court is scheduled to be held in Bloucester at the beginning of the flowering month!"

"Lord Earl's order: This auction is guaranteed by Lord Earl, and all those who provide auction items can participate in the auction in an anonymous way, come and go freely, fair and just, believe it or not!"

"To prove the Earl's sincerity and importance, the Earl will dedicate his treasure as part of the auction: fifteen ounces of dragon blood, thirty pounds of dragon meat, twelve feet of dragon skin, and four dragon tendons, for a total of six feet long!"

"Merchants, please spread this news and please actively participate in this event!"

"By the behest of our lords, the Earl's Court Secretariat."

"How this announcement is explained...... It's strange......" Several adventurer-looking people stood not far from the bulletin board, and the leader of the adventurer, who was obviously literate, read the contents of the bulletin in a low voice, and then muttered in a low voice.

"Head, what's strange?" A muscular man in a fur hat next to him asked.

The leading adventurer shook his head: "We have been on a mission for so many years, have you ever seen any nobleman have such a thing as a [Secretariat]?" ”

Next to her, a dark-skinned, average-looking, but healthy and beautiful female adventurer leaned her head and said with a big grin: "Who knows what these perverted aristocrats are doing every day?" Don't look at it, do you believe it? ”

The leader was stunned: "What? ”

The female adventurer pointed to the bulletin board: "That's what kind of auction can provide auction items anonymously!" Head, do you want to ...... that thing?"

The leader subconsciously shook his head and said, "It's better not to, can you believe what the nobleman says?" In case they are eyeing us......" As he was talking, he subconsciously raised his head, but at a glance he saw the look of loss on the faces of his subordinates, and looked left and right, everyone was embarrassed, and they had not been cultivating peacefully for a long time.

He gritted his teeth: "Otherwise, I'll go to the Earl's Court to give it a try, you take that thing and hide it, if I don't come back, you don't have to wait for me, leave Bloucester City immediately!" ”

"How's that going to work!" The strong man next to him blurted out, "Head, it's too dangerous!" ”

The adventurer shook his head and sighed: "This thing has been in hand for a few months, there has been no suitable buyer, the rest of the goods have been sold by us, and there are only two months left in the month of blooming flowers, if we can really sell this thing, we can live a good life with peace of mind!" At that time, you followed me, didn't you just want to get rich one day? ”

He looked around at his subordinates, kept their expressions in mind, and said lightly: "Okay, it's decided, I'll go to the Earl's Palace, and if you don't see the mark I left, don't come out!" ”

"Head, I'll go with you!" The woman gritted her teeth and took the initiative to stand up.

The adventurer took a deep look at the female teammate, then looked around at the others, and after waiting for no one to say anything, he also took the woman and left with him, leaving the other teammates to find a place to hide.

……

Central Bloucester City.

In addition to a few mansions that have been converted into the Earl's Palace, Shepard actually has a lot of real estate in his hands, either the ownerless things that have lost their owners, or the hearts of the nobles who have surrendered to the new lord, from which they pick out a set of chamber buildings located near the city, and the Earl's Court begins to hire people to renovate them.

On the third floor of the building that will be the first auction house in Bloucester City, the study room with simple decoration but very good light is used as a storage room, and more than two dozen display cases inlaid with transparent glass are placed here, most of which are still empty, and only a few have auction items.

Shepard walked through the display case with his hands in his hands, and naturally he didn't need to look at the auction items he provided, but just looked at the auction items provided by the participants, followed by a clerk, who introduced him.

"Lord Earl, there are a total of twenty-five display cases, except for the seven auction items you provided, only three auction items are from the provider who conceals the identity, according to your request, we did not ask any questions, just gave a reference starting price according to the value of the goods, and then sent out the bronze medal for the participation qualification."

The clerk secretly looked at the count's face and reported carefully.

Shepard's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "You guys are doing a good job, what are the three auction items, have you confirmed it?" ”

The clerk nodded hurriedly: "The appraiser from the Adventurer's Guild helped us identify, there are two bottles of swamp wyvern venom, a well-made enchanted weapon, and a set of jewelry that is about two hundred years old. ”

"It's all very ordinary stuff." Shepard shook his head, "Yes, after all, it's just an auction in a small border town, and if it weren't for the booing of dragon materials, it might not have such an effect." ”

The clerk smiled wryly, not daring to say anything more.

At this moment, a servant walked in and said respectfully: "Lord Earl, there are two adventurers who said that they would like to provide an auction item, but they said that they would not be willing to hand it over to us until you personally promised it. ”

Shepard looked at the display case casually, and said indifferently: "Don't believe such a simple deception, just find a reason to send it away." ”

The servant took the order and withdrew, and after a while, Shepard was about to leave the room with the clerk, but saw the servant walk in again, and said a little nervously: "Lord Earl, those two adventurers said......"

Shepard's brows furrowed slightly, and the servant hurriedly explained, "My lord! The two adventurers say that this auction item has a lot of value, and if they deceive you, they are willing to be locked up in the dungeon! ”

Hearing the servant say this, Shepard finally became a little interested, and said casually: "Okay, then take the two of them to the meeting room, and then transfer two teams of city guards." ”

The servants went to arrange the adventurers, and naturally the guards who followed took the warrant to mobilize the city guards, and by the time Shepard saw the two adventurers, the two had been nervous for a long time in the onlookers of the two teams of city guards.

"I heard that you are willing to participate in the auction, but you need me to be in person, and now that I am here, where are your auction items?"

Shepard walked into the room and was a little disappointed, although these two adventurers looked like experienced veterans, the man was just a high-level [Forest Ranger], and the woman was like an intermediate [Treasure Hunter], a popular profession that was not high or low.

An adventurer with such strength, unless he is flattered by Temorrah, what kind of adventure he can have cannot make him look forward to.

The captain of the adventurer has been regretting his reckless decision, for fear that those city guards who are eyeing the city guard will suddenly pounce, even if he has rich combat experience, at this time the weapon is not in his hand, there is only one way to go, fortunately, this nobleman turned out to be a believer, as a high-powered nobleman, he was really willing to come to meet two ordinary adventurers.

The opportunity was rare, where did he dare to hesitate, and blurted out: "My lord! I have an Eye of Nether! ”

"Clams?" Shepard was stunned when he heard this, looked at the city guards who were waiting around him, and waved his hand: "Stand down." ”

The soldiers put away their weapons and left the hall, Shepard waved his hand to let the clerk back too, and then Shi Shiran sat on a chair, leaned on the back of the chair lazily, and said calmly: "Say, what are your requirements." ”

The adventurer swallowed his saliva and said happily: "My lord, the thing is not on me now, if you want me to hand this thing over to the auction, you have to meet my four conditions, first, I want a deposit of 10,000 gold coins......"

"Enough, you get out! I don't accept this auction. Shepard interrupted the adventurer in annoyance, and gave the order to evict the guest in a cold tone.

"What?" The adventurer was amazed: "Do you know what you're talking about?" That's the Eye of Nether! It is one of the cores of a floating city, and every eye of Nether will be connected to the floating city to which it belongs, and if you find a prophet mage, you can locate the location of the floating city, and ......"

"So what?" Shepard said disdainfully, "How many years has the Magic Empire been destroyed?" I'm not a mage, what do you want that thing for? You've been getting this thing for a long time, haven't you? Have you been scared and afraid to make a move? Oh, if the Floating City is still there, how can the [Eye of Nether] be taken out? Without the Floating City, this thing is just a relatively valuable magic item, even if you can locate the location of the Floating City, do you know what kind of prophetic mage can locate it? At least epic! ”

Shepard stood up and said indifferently: "You don't understand anything, but you have heard too many stories of bards, so you came here blindly and arrogantly, greedy to get benefits from me, I tell you the truth, you know the trouble of the [Eye of Nether], don't I know?" Either you give it to us as a normal auction item and I'll arrange publicity for you, or you can keep holding it yourself, I'm not interested in it! ”

As soon as the words fell, Shepard walked out of the parlor without paying attention, allowing the two surprised and embarrassed adventurers to look at each other inside.

Shepard went straight back to the study and lounge reserved for him, and by the way, he sent a message to Henry Drake, and the wandering mage hurried over, and when he entered the door, he asked eagerly, "My lord, I heard that someone is going to auction the Nesser relics?" ”

Many of the things left behind by the Magic Empire can still be used thousands of years later, and some of them are still powerful, these things are collectively known as the Nesser Relics, which are precious treasures and holy relics in the hearts of all mages, and any Nesser Relics can attract the attention of many mages.

Shepard sat on a soft chair and drank black tea, and said unconcernedly: "There is an adventurer who said that there is a [Eye of Nether], but he asked too much, and I refused. ”

"What? How did you refuse! Do you know how precious this thing is...... Your ......" Henry was so angry that he subconsciously wanted to reprimand Shepard, but suddenly saw the other party's murderous cold eyes, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, remembering the other party's strength and his own identity, he immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, my lord!" I'm out of shape......"

Shepard looked at the mage coldly, and after a long time, he said lightly: "It's just a [Eye of Nether], I know its value, but for me, this thing is just a precious auction item worth hype, that adventurer wants to blackmail me with this thing, it's a dream!" And don't worry about it, if you are asked to buy it, can you afford it? Even if you use means, the adventurer doesn't know where to hide the things, even if you get it, what can you do with it without a magic tower and a floating city? ”
