Chapter 42: Ruben the Magician
Gray's hand is indeed clever.
In addition to the Merlin family's small test just now, among the three major magic families of Garros, the Mannis family and the Saruman family, they have not even made a move, and the reason why they don't make a move is actually not difficult to imagine, they are also one of the three major magic families of Garros, and they can be said to know each other, and they all have a tacit understanding that does not need to be explained.
It's a pity that Grean didn't give them this chance at all, you like to play humility, don't you? Then just push you again, the Merlin family just took three bottles, they will definitely not be satisfied, everyone knows that their family has the most fourth-level apprentices, and the other two families didn't take a bottle, and it is impossible to give up, this is an arcane potion, miss this opportunity, and I don't know what year it will take next time.
At this time, the three major families can't see red without bayonets......
In the hall, which was quiet just now, there seemed to be a hint of fireworks.
The people of the three families all sat in the front row, and their positions were not far from each other, and at the beginning of the auction, everyone still talked a few words occasionally, but as this amazing news was thrown, it was as if an invisible wall had suddenly erected in the room of the three of them, and no one had the heart to talk anymore, all eyes fell on Kevin, just waiting for the small wooden hammer to fall......
The atmosphere in the hall became a little oppressive for a while, just like the feeling of panic and tightness before the storm.
When the auction was carried out at this time, the six underground forces and the eight major magic families had already lost the opportunity to compete, whether it was wealth or power, they were far from the three major magic families. In fact, even if they had the opportunity, they didn't dare to come forward, in the entire Garros City, except for the Magic Guild, who else would dare to provoke these three behemoths head-on?
This quiet guild hall is destined to be the stage for the three major families.
But their mood is still nervous, this auction of arcane potions is likely to change the trend of the entire Garros City, even if it is just a small detail, it may decide the life and death of thousands of people.
"See, the guy in front of you wearing a black mage robe and covering his head with a hood is the patriarch of the Saruman family's generation, Ruben Saruman." At this time, the only one who was not nervous was probably the old and the young who were hiding behind, Gray Ruian looked leisurely, stretched out his fat fingers to the front row, and patiently introduced Lin Li.
Lin Li glanced at it from a distance and found that the aura on this Saruman family patriarch seemed to be a little weird, it was a very pure feeling, it had nothing to do with strength or weakness, and it had nothing to do with magic fluctuations, but it was just a pure feeling that this person was a little weird, as if he was lifeless, no matter how he looked at it, he would always give people an uncomfortable feeling.
"You feel it too?" Seeing the confusion on Lin Li's face, Gray Ryan smiled and said, "Strictly speaking, this guy is actually not a real magician, he is a spell master!" ”
"Spellcaster?" Lin Li was shocked when he heard this, and remembered the McGrenelly father and daughter: "You mean to say that he is good at curse spells?" ”
"That's right, isn't it strange that the patriarch of the magic family is a spell master......"
"You have the insider?" As soon as he saw Gray's expression, Lin Li knew that this old man must have some inside information.
"Actually, it's not an insider, most of Garros City knows about it." There was a bit of jealousy in Gray's voice: "In this Garros City, in addition to Matthews's old slut, the one I am most afraid of is actually Reuben, but this guy really didn't have any magical talent when he was a child, he was only a fourth-level apprentice in his twenties, not to mention us outsiders at that time, even his father had already given up on him." ”
"Soon after he was twenty-five years old, Saruman Sr. announced his heir, his half-brother Sosa, and on the day Saruman Sr. announced this, Ruben disappeared from the city of Garros, and this disappearance was five years, and no one knows where he went, nor what he did during those five years, until he was thirty years old, and Ruben did not return to Garros until he was thirty years old."
When he said this, Graian paused slightly, and then continued: "After he came back, the first thing he did was to kill people, from his half-brother to his own biological father, everyone who was qualified to occupy the position of patriarch was killed by him overnight, and then Ruben used iron-blooded means to firmly control the entire family in his hands, and in the next thirty years, he brought the small Saruman family to the position of one of the three major families of Garros today!" ”
"Ruthless!" This is Lin Li's only assessment of Saruman Reuben.
"This man is a madman." Gray Ann shook his head, with a bit of frustration in his tone: "Although Matthews is powerful, at least there are weaknesses to grasp, such as his son and his younger brother, but the Saruman family is a madman, I really can't do anything about him, unless I have absolute strength, I can kill him in a flash...... But this madman knows how to forbear, and he will not provoke an invincible enemy until he is absolutely sure......"
Gray's last comment, Lin Li didn't pay much attention to it, because he was thinking about another thing.
Could the curse in McGrenelly have anything to do with the Saruman family?
But after thinking about it, Lin Li still couldn't think of the reason, McGrenelly and his daughter were just ordinary adventurers, only about five or six levels of power, and they couldn't talk about wealth and power at all, so with the identity of Ruben Saruman, what reason did they have to fight them?
Just when Lin Li was struggling, Kevin announced the arrival of the auction.
"Ten bottles of arcane elixir, the reserve price is 100,000 gold coins, 10,000 plus, the bidding begins!"
"110,000 gold coins!"
"By the way, Ferret, you must know this person, the richest man in the whole Garros City, and even in the whole of the French Kingdom, the patriarch of the Mannis family - Ysera Mannis!"
"The Mannes?" Hearing this name, Lin Li couldn't help but think of the gold-plated roses that bloomed all over Garros, if he hadn't seen a staff in the gold-plated roses that were sold for thousands of gold coins, how could he have thought of dispensing potions to make money, but it was a little funny that after turning around, the money was on the head of the gold-plated roses......
