Section 27 Flame Druids
The name "Nilou" reminds Nelson of the mysterious woman in the alley who helps Elu heal her wounds. Although the voice is not matched, the back of this woman is exactly the same as in memory.
In the hall, the bidding enthusiasm of the nobles was very high. Nelson was only slightly distracted, and Count Caspar's manuscript had been shouted to a thousand gold coins. That's the equivalent of half a full box of gold bars.
"Fifteen hundred gold coins!" Baron Fili raised his wine glass high, looked around proudly, and his eyes seemed to be provoking everyone that this collection was indispensable, and he even raised the price directly by five hundred gold.
Nelson, who had been slowly retreating, was surprised to hear the price, and he stopped, his eyes involuntarily looking at Fili. The guests present were all amazed by Baron Filip's generosity, and their wealth was really different, and they all turned their attention to Baron Filet like Nelson.
Nilou's eyes flickered, and she smiled, "Lord Baron, who would dare to shout up if you bid like this?" ”
Fili smiled proudly: "Benjue has studied the secrets and histories of other races, and this manuscript is included in Benjue's collection, so it can be regarded as a good use." ”
With that, Filip looked around again and noticed that Nelson was staring at him from afar. He pushed the lens and said contemptuously, "Lord Nelson, if you want to take this manuscript, Ben can cut it." Oh, I almost forgot you didn't bring gold with you to the auction today. ”
Filipe and Marshall may not be friendly, but they are surprisingly consistent in their approach to Nelson. Almost without any agreement, they tacitly challenged Nelson in turn, and never stopped every month.
Just like tonight's auction banquet, if it weren't for the fact that Nelson had been invited temporarily, Filip wouldn't have paid attention to the fat man's invitation.
"Philip is well-versed in the past and present, and it is most appropriate for you to have this manuscript temporary." Nelson responded politely. Nelson was also helpless at this time, and the more he wanted to keep a low profile, the more the spearheads of the two barons present poked at him.
"Tumbo Ancient and Modern? This description Ben Jue likes, you don't have to be frustrated with Lord Nelson, if you want to borrow books, you can come to Ben Jue's castle as a guest, hahahaha. ”
In the nearly two months that Nelson traveled, he endured tons of cynicism from the barons of the two cities. To this level of provocation, he is almost immune. Anyway, he was not a natural nobleman, and he wanted to fight a certain Yi back then, and he could fight with all the keyboard parties with ease. Now, just a baron who wants to stir up his emotions? Dream!
What's more, the banquet has just begun, and who doesn't know if they have the last laugh!
Nelson stopped answering, just kept smiling, and no matter what the other person said, he just nodded politely.
However, he faintly discovered that during the auction for dozens of minutes, several nobles in the venue disappeared.
They disappeared in the same way, and were helped out of the hall by the attendants when they looked a little drunk, but all of them were gone.
The atmosphere of the auction in the hall was always high, no one would notice that someone around them was drunk and carried away, and everyone gradually forgot about Nelson who did not bring gold coins.
"Next up is the penultimate lot, Fairy Tears." A hint of sadness flashed across Nilou's face, but she hid it well, and immediately explained, "Fairy tears heal most wounds, and when condensed into a gem-like shape, it allows the wearer to slow down aging. I believe that all gentlemen will definitely bid for this for their lovers. ”
"Huh? Can it slow down aging? Nilou, my heart, why didn't you say it earlier, Ben Jue lacked one such gift for you! Marshall, who was on the sidelines, was suddenly interested.
He also ignored his identity as the organizer and shouted directly: "Ten thousand gold!" ”
Those middle-aged aristocrats who wanted to bid were suddenly deflated, not to mention that 10,000 gold was too expensive, just thinking of competing with Marshall was enough to make them regress.
Marshall's character was so well-known that even Baron Filip didn't want to provoke him.
"Lord Baron, the starting price of this fairy tear is only fifty gold coins, your price is too high." Nilou's tone was a little regretful, but the smile on her face was like a blooming peach blossom, pink and touching.
"Oh, my heart, it's hard to buy your face, it's hard to buy your youth, please accept my full love." Marshall was in great prosper, courting on the spot.
"Lord Baron, this ...... Let's wait until the auction is over. Nilou's voice became soft, obviously embarrassed.
"No, no, no, I figured it out! Come on, take my 'beauty embrace'! That's right, the grooves of that necklace can only be matched by sapphires of this quality! Just go! Just go! Marshall couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and was so anxious that he stamped his feet to command his attendants.
The aristocrats present could only go crazy along with Marshall. This made the person in question, Nilou, feel a little guilty, and hurriedly suggested, "Lord Baron, why don't we show the last auction item first, so that we can save a lot of time." ”
"Well, the last item is a bit of a hassle. Patrick, you go get it yourself. ”
The golden-armored guard beside Marshall nodded, and headed for the second floor.
Almost as the guard walked back to the first floor with a delicate locket in his hand, another attendant was ordered to fetch a sparkling silver necklace.
If you look closely at this necklace, you can see that each section is set with small diamonds, and the chest part has a slightly larger groove, which originally set a ruby.
Marshall ordered his attendants to dig the ruby down, then took the Elven Tear and gently shoved it into the groove.
"Good baby! Good baby!! Marshall picked up the necklace and praised it loudly. Those present were also fascinated.
The moment the Fairy Tears are embedded in the grooves of the necklace, they begin to fit on their own. The original edges have become extremely smooth, and it is almost natural.
Nilou's eyes also glowed, and her red lips were slightly open. Seeing Marshall walking towards her with a necklace, she took the initiative to squat down to greet her.
At the same time, Marshall's bodyguard also walked to the center, standing straight, clutching the delicate little box, just waiting for the final lot to be displayed.
By the time all eyes were on one place, Nelson had already retreated to the edge of the crowd.
"According to the script, it's almost time to start." The corners of Nelson's mouth lifted and he muttered softly.
Sure enough, when Nilou put on the necklace and looked up, and Marshall wanted to come up and kiss him affectionately, a change suddenly happened!
Nilou's body burned with fire, and her form grew gigantic in the blink of an eye: the hair on her back was made up of flames, her fiery claws burned through the jade on the ground, and her golden eyes burned with fire that seemed to burn everything up.
It's a flaming cheetah!
Of the guests present, Nelson was probably the only one who remained calm, and he looked at Nilou's transformation and was amazed: "It's a Flame Druid!" ”
