082, No. 7 Auction House
The room was silent, and everyone's hearts were heavy, after all, they were about to face two golden archmages from Babelatis and the Hanging Gardens. If they're unlucky, they may also need to be prepared to face more Golden Archmages, as there's a high chance that Burns and Wendra will report it to the Order after learning that Zoe's treasure is a moon well.www.biquge.info
"Bad news, sure enough." I don't know how long it took for Gildelow to burst out with a sentence to break the peace.
Except for Adam, everyone else ignored him, thinking of a suitable solution.
"I think it's the best solution to report the news immediately and have Archbishop Kakaaf come here with the Forbidden Orb." Adam said. Considering that there were suddenly two more gold-rank enemies in the process of fighting for the moon well, Adam felt that they urgently needed a helper of comparable strength on their side.
At present, he knows only a few gold professionals, Isabella's teacher Vesper is one, and the other is Archbishop Kakaf in the mouth of the bishop of the Harvest Church.
After the Midland Demon Landing and Iris City's gold war, Adam didn't want to face any of the gold professionals at all. Even a few high-level silver professionals were not the opponent of the Golden Archmage, let alone him, a bronze high-level white mage.
Sure enough, he is the heir of the family, and this kind of posture and tone are not something that ordinary people can have. Knight Delogu watched Adam arrange Archbishop Kakaf so naturally, as if he were arranging an insignificant Black Iron Warrior, which made him more and more sure of his speculation about the Vivian family and Adam on the way.
"In fact I have informed the church of the news, and now they should have received it." Sue said, "I hope Archbishop Kakaf will come here with the Forbidden Orb, Goddess willing." ”
"Well, why don't we take a look at the other forces?" Gilderog tried to make the atmosphere in the room more relaxed.
The four of Sybil were all the best people below the Golden Rank in the Harvest Church, and if nothing else, some of them would be able to advance to the Gold Rank in a few years, so they quickly adjusted their mindset after hearing Gildero's words.
"It's not clear who they're going to be, but as it stands, we're the first to get here, and we have a huge advantage."
"Great, sounds good."
"This is an opportunity we should not miss, to take down Zoe before the important personnel of the other forces have arrived."
"Not bad." This opinion was agreed by everyone in the room.
They are now grabbing treasures, and they will not talk about fair competition with other churches, and since they have maintained their advantage so far, the best thing to do is to take the treasures while they have the advantage. As for what the other churches think, it has nothing to do with them.
"Where is Zoe now?"
"According to what I learned this morning, Zoe will be going to an auction initiated by the Business Alliance in the evening."
"Auctions? What did she go to the auction for? ”
"Who knows?"
"Okay, it's about the moon well, let's just shoot if you have an opportunity." Gideroy thought for a moment and said.
Although the Buffison Business Alliance was originally a joint city-state composed of a few large merchants, over time, this business alliance is now as powerful as any other country, with great wealth and great power. If it weren't for the fear that Zoe's treasures would be snatched by other forces, they wouldn't have made the decision to act directly in the city.
As for the aftermath and other problems arising from it, it is nothing in front of the moon well.
"It's been ready for a long time." Su took out a few invitations from his arms, "This is the invitation to the auction in the evening, I have prepared a total of nine." ”
Su handed out the invitation in his hand to the people in the room and reconfirmed in a low voice: "Let's do it at night?" ”
"It depends, everyone will act according to my gestures when the time comes."
Auction No. 7 is the most famous auction house in the entire Buffison Business Alliance, and his owner is one of the founders of the Business Alliance, with a strong network of contacts and trade caravans throughout the world. Auction No. 7 holds a huge auction in December every year, bringing together the most precious and magical items in the whole world, from the magic props of Babelatis to the exquisite artworks of the Naga Empire in the deep sea, from the frost crystals of the Far North Ice Fields to the antiques of the Bossi Empire.
Although this auction is not as good as the one in December, it is also the fifth of the six times a year, and there is a lot of contact between the rich and powerful.
"See? The one in the pink magic robe was Zoe. At this time, Su Zheng brought Adam and others to participate in this auction. Whispered to Adam after seeing Target Zoe.
Adam followed Sue's gaze and found that he hadn't seen Zoe for a while, and now Zoe was really a complete woman: the face of the indistinguishable man and woman he saw last time was completely feminine, and it only took one glance to fascinate most men in the world, plus the bewitching figure under the pink magic robe and the long hair draped casually behind him, making Zoe more and more beautiful and moving while walking.
Coupled with the fact that Zoe may be aware that she is under the surveillance of other forces, with a hint of panic on her face, her whole person looks even more moving. In less than a minute of checking the invitation, Adam saw that three men had almost hit the door next to him because they were paying too much attention to Zoe, causing a burst of laughter. Then the laughing crowd gradually quieted down, attracted by Zoe's beauty.
"This change is also related to the moon well?" If he hadn't known Zoe's details in advance, Adam would have been attracted to the beautiful woman in front of him, but the thought that she was a man at the beginning made goosebumps rise all over his body.
The only thing that made Adam feel relieved was that when he saw Zoe again, the other party's strength was still at the silver level, and he did not reach the gold level, which finally made Adam breathe a sigh of relief.
Isabella looked at Zoe stunned, and then realized that looking at the other party like this might be noticed, and quickly withdrew her gaze to stare at Adam for a while.
"Maybe something else is working." The Moon Well definitely doesn't have this kind of function, and the Silent Gate is a pure spatial treasure, and Isabella really can't think of how Zoe could become like this.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Su laughed and teased Bishop Gildelow in the team, "On my way to follow Zoe, let me count, ah, there were probably no less than twenty men who accosted her, but unfortunately she refused." ”
"I think it's a good choice to skip this topic." Knight Dailogu, who knew Zoe's finesse, said dryly, causing Sue to let out a cheerful laugh.
"Attention, the target has entered the auction." Sybil was as serious as ever, reminding the others of what exactly the purpose of the evening was.
"It's our turn."
The invitations prepared by Sue correspond to the location of the branch in different directions, which makes it easier for them to see Zoe from different angles.
Adam and Isabella were now seated in one position across the auction table, and the others were scattered in pairs elsewhere in the room.
To Adam's left sat a richly dressed lady, who was holding her face in her hands and letting out a dreamy moan: The deep sea black pearl of the Naga Empire must be mine!
"In the promotion of Auction No. 7, it is a cherished treasure that can keep a woman from getting old." Isabella said, "I bought one before, but it turned out that it was just a normal black pearl, and it was of no use. ”
“……”
Adam took a closer look at the crowd in the auction room, which consisted of nearly two-thirds of the wealthy aristocrats, dressed in fine and gorgeous clothes, for fear that others would not know how rich they really were, and often accompanied by a beautiful female companion. Of course, Adam also noticed that several noble ladies were accompanied by very handsome young men, such as the one sitting next to Adam. The remaining third are professionals, which is also very recognizable, and the outfit and momentum of the professionals easily make them stand out from the crowd.
"The magic of a meteor shower can cost Auction Seven a lot." Adam joked. With such a gold-level spell, basically few of the people present could get out alive, and their dense network of connections and the forces behind them alone were enough to give the No. 7 Auction Hall a headache.
"Don't say that, there are quite a few masters behind the seventh auction hall." Isabella leaned over, "If the Buffyson Business Alliance had not been backed by strong strength, it would have been swallowed up by other countries a long time ago, where can it still exist until now." ”
"Every big chamber of commerce in the Buffison Business Alliance uses its own armed forces, and it is not weak. A very famous force in the entire continent like Auction Hall Seven should not be underestimated, believe it or not, there is a Golden Sword Master staring at the backstage of the auction hall right now. ”
"So powerful?" Anytime a gold professional can be hired so easily.
"I guess." Isabella smiled and said, "The last time I came to the December auction with my teacher, there was indeed a Golden Sword Master in the background, but today it may be a few high-level warriors or mages of silver. You know, if you sign a magic contract, as long as you help make this auction a success, they're going to be able to take a cut of about five percent of the profits, that's an astronomical amount. ”
"Sounds good, if I don't have enough money to spend one day, I can come here and do odd jobs."
"Then they will welcome you with both hands, young master of the Vivian family."
As the two were talking, the lights in the auction room suddenly dimmed, and only the lights on the auction table were not only retained, but also an extraordinarily bright magic lamp, which reflected the entire auction table brighter than in the daytime.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Auction No. 7."
"All kinds of precious materials, magical treasures, and of course, the favorite magic items of the mages and gentlemen, are all in the seventh auction hall, making your trip worthwhile."
A somewhat balding old man dressed in an evening gown went backstage onto the auction table and bowed to the guests.
"Now for our first auction item of the evening, the giantess and the male gnome from the Exquisite Circus!"
The auction officially began, and Adam noticed that when Bald said this, Zoe in the audience was in good spirits.
