Chapter 639: Twilight Dragon Armor
Seeing Lin Li shaking his head, Varian was slightly disappointed in his heart, but he didn't say anything more, and led Lin Li and the others into the front hall of the Elven Grand Theater. Go and see the net --7-K-aNKanc-o-m. The front hall of the Grand Theater is quite large, and those who arrive early are waiting for the auction to enter and talk about one or another topic with acquaintances.
Although some people "saw Varian leading people in", no one stepped forward to greet them, because they knew very well that they were not qualified to speak to Varian. At the same time, they also had great doubts in their hearts, and they all guessed what the origin of the young man who was with Varian was, because they clearly saw that Varian was actually walking in the position of the guide.
You know, not to mention these people in the front hall, even the VIPs upstairs, there are few who will receive this kind of treatment. What kind of person is Varian, even Alatho, the lord of Roland City, has always respected him very much. But now, "Varian, who is very famous in the Plains of Light Wind, actually leads the way to such a young man who has never seen before, I am afraid that even if His Majesty the King comes, he will not get this kind of treatment."
There are many people in the front hall, most of them are the leaders or representatives of some large and medium-sized forces on the Light Wind Plain, some families that have been inherited for thousands of years, and some have risen in the last hundred years. If a person comes out, the strength in his hands will not be much worse than Senna, but in front of Varian, he is not even qualified to talk.
Lin Li only glanced at it roughly, and saw a few familiar faces, as if they had gone to the Tower of Dusk to give Wilkinson and them gifts. Could it be that they are also preparing gifts for Wilkinson when they participate in the auction today? Lin Li thought a little funny in his heart.
Walk up the stairs to the second floor "is a small hall with a slightly smaller area, but with an elegant and luxurious decoration." From the exquisite magic crystal lamp overhead, to the magnificent purple cashmere carpet under his feet, to the elven-style ornaments, I am afraid that only in the underground palace built by Osric can he find a place comparable to Lin Li.
There were also some guests talking in the small hall, and for Lin Li, there seemed to be more acquaintances here than downstairs. The lord of Dorland was leading his son Lasorik to talk happily with Arathus, the lord of Roland. Lassolic the boy, with his eyes fixed on Ivan, the daughter of Alazo next to him, refused to stagger for a moment. Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise he would not know what to do when he saw Lin Li coming in.
Master Gaza, the president of the Iron Alien Guild, had a strong voice and patted a bitter young man on the shoulder with a bitter face, as if he was saying something encouraging. The young man's eyes were full of helplessness, and he looked at his father next to him, "But he didn't dare to be dissatisfied at all."
"President Ferrey, do you want to chat here, or go directly to your VIP room first?" Varian originally wanted to introduce Lin Li, but when he saw that the city lord of Dorland actually brought his son again, he suddenly dispelled the idea of leaving Lin You here.
Although there were a few acquaintances present, the friendship was really limited, and at most they met and greeted each other, far from the point of sitting together and chatting, so after greeting a few acquaintances, Lin Li entered the VIP room with Varian.
It is said that it is a VIP ten, but in fact, the area is not small at all" Lin Li brought Wilkinson and several other senior pharmacists with him this time, but when he entered it, he didn't feel crowded at all. In Varian's introduction, I realized that this VIP room was also different from the others, how could His Majesty the King watch the play alone, at least a dozen people were waiting beside him.
Varian didn't feel that there was anything wrong with arranging such a most distinguished VIP room to Lin Li and the others. You must know that in this line, there are as many as six senior pharmacists alone, and these six senior pharmacists also clearly show a forward-looking attitude towards Lin Li.
If it was just the owner of the Tower of Dusk and the president of the Magical Guild of the Plains of Light Wind, Varian would naturally not have to lower his profile like this, and even if there were six high-level apothecaries, he would not have to do so. However, "six senior pharmacists, in Varian's eyes, are not only senior pharmacists, but also a pharmacist organization no less than the pharmacists' union."
What's more, the person who can make the six senior pharmacists take the lead will be the president of an ordinary law union? The arrogance of these high-level pharmacists, Varian is not uninformed, I am afraid that even in the face of ordinary legendary powerhouses, it may not be able to make them lower their heads slightly, and there is basically only one kind of person who can really convince them. Although he didn't get a definite answer from Lin Li's mouth, Varian knew that this young magician was definitely not simple.
After relinquishing Lin Li and the others to their seats, Varian personally summoned the waiters and brought them to the table the rare fruit drinks and so on served in exquisite utensils. It can be said that in terms of hospitality, Varian does everything to the highest standards, and strives not to make Lin Li and the others feel the slightest slack.
"If there's anything you're not happy with, President Ferry, please tell them that I'll be out of company for a while," Varian said respectfully. After all, he is the master here, and no matter how much he values Lin Li, it is impossible to ignore other VIPs.
Lin Li waved his hand indifferently, and did not show any flattery or anything like this kind of hospitality.
With his current state of mind, no matter how good or bad this environment is, it is actually difficult to cause any fluctuations in his heart. In the eyes of Wilkinson and others, as a master of pharmacy, such hospitality is even more deserved.
After Varian left, since the auction had not yet begun, Wilkinson and the others took this time to ask Lin Li some questions about pharmacy. No one's success is accidental, although Wilkinson and others are better than the average person, but this attitude of not wanting to learn all the time is an important reason why they can achieve what they are today.
For Wilkinson and others, although Lin Li is not a real teacher, he will definitely not be bored, after all, the higher their level, the more relaxed he will be.
Shortly after Varian left, "there was a slight noise downstairs, and the people who had been waiting in the foyer for a long time began to come in, and it seemed that it was almost time before the auction began." A moment later, "the entire hall downstairs was filled with nearly two thousand seats.
Since it was originally a large theater, the VIP room was completely open to the stage side, and Lin Li sat there and looked left and right, and the people in the other VIP rooms could also see it clearly.
Unlike the scene below, where there are many empty VIP rooms, and probably half of these VIPs are not full. However, this does not mean that Varian's auction failed, but because the status of the VIP is determined by status, not that he has to make up that amount.
If the standards are lowered, the status of this VIP will be worthless, and it will even make people feel that it is an insult to themselves.
Lin Li was not very interested in the identities of other VIPs, so he only glanced at it cursoryly, and then put his eyes back on the stage downstairs where the curtain had not yet been opened. However, for Lin Li, this young magician who was arranged in the most distinguished VIP room, "The other VIPs were quite curious.
It's not the first time Varian has held an auction at the Grand Elven Theatre, but the VIP room is never open to anyone else unless the real King is in attendance. But today, it is clear that the person sitting in it is not His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of France, but a very young magician.
In fact, although due to the location, the people around him can't see Lin Li's appearance so really. However, people like Roland City Lord Alasuo, or Master Gaza, the president of the Blacksmith Guild, etc., these people who have been in contact with Lin Li will still feel that the people sitting there seem to be a little familiar. However, "with what they knew, they would never have thought of associating the man who was so valued by Varian with the president of the Magic Guild, who had only been established for less than a year.
The curtain slowly opened on the stage, and Varian, with a faint smile on his face, strode to the center of the stage, bowed slightly to the guests in the audience, and began the opening remarks of the auction. Varian didn't say much, just a few words of thanks, and after saying that, he stepped back, replaced by the chief auctioneer of the Time Consignment Shop, and the auction officially began.
At this time, as the owner of this auction, Varian returned to the VIP room. He knew that no matter how much strength and potential the Tower of Twilight had with the support of the mysterious apothecary organization behind it, it had only been established for less than a year after all. The auction he was holding now brought together most of the large and medium-sized forces in the Light Wind Plains and beyond, and it was an opportunity for the young president of the Tower of Twilight to get to know and understand.
Varian wouldn't miss a chance to build a relationship with the Tower of Dusk, so he rushed over after arranging the auction.
For this, Lin Li actually didn't care much about it, with the current strength of the Tower of Dusk, many of the so-called large and medium-sized forces downstairs basically did not pose the slightest threat to the Tower of Dusk. But since Varian is here, it doesn't hurt to listen to it anyway, so it's up to him.
Varian sat down beside Lin Li, and on the stage downstairs, the first auction item had just been carved to a display table in the center of the stage, a rectangular wooden box more than half a person high. Judging from the color, this wooden box has been quite old, and the carved patterns on the surface seem to be a little smooth. Looking at such a simple wooden box, the people in the audience who did not take the auction album in advance guessed what was inside.
The auctioneer didn't make people wait any longer, because it was just a cushion lot and it wasn't worth wasting too much time on it. After opening the wooden box, the auctioneer took a step back, and a pillar of light shone on the auction item above the stage, and there was a sudden sound of inhalation from the audience.
On the display stand, the wooden box opened to the sides, revealing the auction items inside, a set of dark golden dragon scale armor shining strangely in the pillar of light. There are too many introductions from the sellers, and almost everyone in the audience has memories of a distant history in their minds.
The Dark Ages had just ended, and the coalition of oppressed races had been torn apart by the distribution of Ligai as they divided the fruits of their victory over the High Elves. Everyone thinks that their contribution is the greatest, but no one can really convince anyone, and in the end they can only rely on force to solve all problems.
After humanity took over most of the continent, it was thought that the long-overdue peace was finally coming, but then the human race was divided again. The era of High Elf rule is known as the Dark Ages, and the period of war that followed this Dark Ages is known as the Darkness Before the Dawn.
Of course, this period was not without merit. There is a saying that heroes come out of troubled times, and in this period of endless war, a large number of legendary heroes also emerged, leaving many stories for later bards to be recited for thousands of years.
The owner of the dark golden dragon scale armor on the display platform is none other than Grand Duke Hedlik, who once guarded the Breeze Plains for the Kingdom of France during that chaotic period and repelled the invasion of the Kingdom of Ledin countless times. Now, in Dorland's library, there is an oil painting depicting Duke Heidrick commanding a battle, and he is wearing this Twilight Dragon Armor.
Therefore, "although this Twilight Dragon Armor has disappeared for nearly a thousand years after Duke Hedric, its appearance in front of everyone at this time immediately evokes their memories of the legendary story of that person in that period of history."
At that time, the Duke of Hedric was working for the royal family of the Kingdom of France, and he was one of several legendary powerhouses, and his strength reached about twenty-two levels. Although at that time, almost all the legendary powerhouses on the Anriel continent were somewhat eclipsed by the light of the mage god Gresco. However, for those on the Plains of the Light Wind, Grand Duke Hedric is definitely an exception.
A person stepping into the realm of legends, in a sense, is already out of the category of ordinary human beings. In the eyes of the legendary powerhouse, ordinary people are like ants, and no one cares about the life or death of ants. As a legendary powerhouse, although he is only a sword master, he may not be as strong as magicians in the same legendary realm, but he also has a long lifespan.
Although the Sanctuary is somewhat out of reach, as long as you live, there will be hope, even if it is a small hope. Therefore, any legendary powerhouse, although he already has incomparably strong strength, can cherish his life more than ordinary people. As long as it is not an irresolvable hatred, the battle between legendary powerhouses rarely leaves no room for life and death. (To be continued,
