Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The auction items were sent to the auction table one after another, and the bidding sound came and went, and the scene was lively.
However, Gordon didn't show much interest, so he and Faria started chatting, naturally about the handsome and dashing Drington knight, who seemed to have bad intentions towards him.
"Faria, how did you meet Dringdon before? What do you have to do with him? ”
Faria seemed reluctant to talk about the past, but when Gordon asked, she told as much detail as she could about her past with Drington.
Although the Eisenstein family is not as rich and powerful as the top nobles like Baratheon, their strength, especially their connections, are amazing.
His Majesty the present-day Emperor of Ferreton is Trajan. Anduin, who had a beloved concubine, was from the Eisenstein family and was Drington's aunt. Warhammer Lord Eddard. Stryker's eldest son, married Drington's sister. The wife of the Diamond Lord, also from the Eisenstein family.
One emperor, two archdukes, and the four most powerful people in the empire, except for the Lord of Scepters, Robbe. Except for Antelo, he was maritally linked to the Eisenstein family.
Not only that, but many principalities in the south, and even in Northumber, the Black Dragon Empire, had nobles who had established marriage relations with the Eisenstein family. The second head of the family, Essraide. Von Eisenstein once famously said a quote that is still talked about today.
"What can't be solved by the long sword, let love solve it!"
Of course, it is doubtful that there is some true love in this kind of political marriage between aristocratic families, but the Eisenstein family's strategy of extensive marriage is indeed very successful.
In Ferredon, in addition to the royal Anduin family, and the three archdukes of Stryker, Baratheon, and Antelo, the Eisenstein family is the most powerful.
Now that he has formed an in-law relationship with the emperor, the two grand dukes of Warhammer and Treasure Diamond. Naturally, the Eisensteins set their sights on the Antelos.
The shrewd current patriarch of the Eisenstein family did not choose to speak directly with Rob. Antelo marriage. As we all know, Lord Wandscrew has three hobbies: human beauties, elven beauties, and xenophiles. Although the Eisenstein family has many beautiful and charming daughters, it is difficult to stand out and be pampered when they really marry into the Antello family. Thus exerting influence for the benefit of the family.
So, the Eisensteins set their sights on Faria.
After a long period of marriage, the Eisenstein family with excellent genes is not only rich in beautiful women, but also has many handsome guys. And Drington is the best of the younger generation.
Then. Faria had just arrived in Azurewater City and recognized the Lord of Wands. Rob. As soon as the news of Antelo's illegitimate daughter spread, the Eisenstein family immediately took action. In a casual name, the patriarch of the Eisenstein family took Drington to the Far Frost Province to visit the Lord of Wandscepter, and hinted at nothing. Want to work with Rob. Antelo marriage.
In order to enhance the relationship between the two juniors, the patriarch of the Eisenstein family proposed yì and let the martial arts Falia and Drington, known as the youngest swordsmanship genius of the Eisenstein family and undefeated in one hundred and twenty-seven battles, have a competition.
At that time, Faria, who was still young, simple and competitive, and had the martial blood of the Orlandos in her body, could not see these twists and turns between the nobles of Ferreton. Since that sissy (in the eyes of Faria, whose taste is still in the wild stage, the image of a muscular abdominal muscle with eight pieces of beard on her face is a real man) wants to fight with herself, then it's good to come.
The battle between the two teenage children could not be very clever, so Gordon didn't ask about the details, and asked directly: "What is the result?" ”
"Back then. Drington was the best of his generation, but he wasn't as good as me. When I was about to win, who knew that guy suddenly gave up his resistance and went straight to him. Wounded by my weapon. Faria said this, with a reluctant expression.
This kind of low-intensity competition between nobles and juniors is not allowed to see blood. The injured party is often sentenced to lose. Then, judging from Faria's description, Drington's purpose is already obvious.
After he was deliberately injured by me, he pretended to be generous and said that the result of the fight was a draw, and also said that it was a great honor to be stabbed by a beautiful girl like me. Oh, even if I didn't know anything about the world at that time, I could see his hypocrisy and cunning. As a result, he not only maintained his undefeated reputation as a genius swordsman, but also earned a good reputation among his elders. I, on the other hand, was seen as a rude barbarian girl who didn't know what to do...... My father also reprimanded me in public because of this incident. Although he only did this to give an explanation to the Eisenstein family, and he didn't really blame me, but at that time I didn't know anything about it, so I broke with my father......"
From this point of view, the reason why Faria has such a bad relationship with Lord Wands, and even developed a character that is incompatible with the noble circle of Ferreton, Drington needs to bear a lot of responsibility. The knight's approach in the fight was indeed a bit despicable, but Gordon admitted that it was indeed clever.
Through Guò Faria, Gordon also knows what Dellington is like. As the saying goes, three years old looks younger, and seven years old looks old. Derlington had such scheming when he was a teenager, and today, I am afraid it is even more noteworthy.
It's really troublesome to have such people who don't have good intentions towards themselves.
After the conversation with Faria, it wasn't long before an auction item that interested Gordon was put on the auction table.
"This staff, from the Barsotold Ruins at the southern foot of the Supreme Glacier, is a product of the Magic Empire of Netherduran. When the Thorn Bird Adventure Party found the staff from the ruins, they recorded an amazing scene! ”
The auctioneer took out a recording crystal ball, pressed it with his left hand, and recited a mantra: "PH1EI." ”
Like a projector, a crystal ball presents a short film to a host of guests.
"Hey, Captain, look at that stone platform, there's a staff!"
"Don't worry, be careful!"
The impatient young man didn't have time to heed the captain's warning, and walked a few steps to the stone platform engraved with Nether's script, and reached out to grab the staff.
If the High had been there, he would have warned the reckless young man of the Thorn Bird Adventure Troupe that those Nether words were extremely complex and esoteric magical spells, which together formed a powerful protective spell.
Moreover, this spell is not meant to prevent outsiders from stealing the staff. Rather, it is used to prevent the power inside the staff from running wild, causing unpredictable consequences.
So then, when the young man's fingertips just touched the staff, a violent explosion accompanied by a white arcane light almost destroyed a qiē......
"Due to the strong arcane interference, the record of the crystal ball, this is the end. As you can see, this staff has extremely terrifying power. The Thorn Bird Adventure Group paid two-thirds of the casualties, including the leader, because of this staff. It is believed that in the hands of a powerful and wise mage, this staff from the era of the Magic Empire of Netherduran can wield a true effect. ”
After a pause, the auctioneer said: "Lot 27, a strong ** staff from the Netherduran Magic Empire, with a reserve price of two thousand gold coins. In addition, one-half of the proceeds from the auction will be used as an additional pension for the families of the fallen members of the Thorn Bird Adventure Group. It was the decision of the benevolent Lord Baron Lavalredi. ”
The picture played by the crystal ball just now is shocking. Many of the guests who attended the auction were also very interested in this staff. But when it came time to make a bid, few people made a bid.
The explosion just recorded was just too scary. Now the auctioneer has not explained whether the staff is stable or not. If you buy the staff back, and you don't know when there will be another explosion like this, it will be troublesome.
Of course, there are also people who really know the goods and take a fancy to this staff.
For example, Asalan. Delmavic.
For example, Gordon.
Earl Thompson's Magic Advisor was the first to quote two thousand five hundred gold coins.
The whalebone staff he is using now was made more than twenty years ago after he became a five-ring mage. Although this staff made of the spine of a battleship whale was very good, as its strength grew, Asalan felt that it was a little unbearable.
Especially after the autumn hunt, Earl Thompson gave a large sum of money in order to further win himself over, which gave Asalan a solid material basis for the idea of getting a new staff.
When those stupid nobles saw this staff, at most they were happy to see the hunt and wanted to buy it back for collection. The only one who truly understands the value is yourself.
Assalan thought with a confident smile on his face.
Although this staff of the Nether era is expensive and very rare, not many people are willing to sell it for it in today's auction. So Asalan is confident that he will take it.
Just as he waited for the auctioneer to finalize the deal, a competitor appeared.
"Three thousand gold coins."
Asalan's cloudy eyes with deep sunken eye sockets followed the prestige, and the person who made the bid was Gordon. Freeman.
"This bastard boy who doesn't know the height of the sky! He was just a small four-ring mage, how could he possibly understand the power of this Nether staff? That's right! He must have known something, so he deliberately went against me! ”
Anger and murderous intent mingled in Asalan's mind. He straightened out his ornate mage robes and spat out a number from his mouth again: "Three thousand three hundred." ”
If anything, in the auction hall, only Asalan, a quasi-high-level mage with an arcane attainment of the Six Rings, knew the true value of that Nether staff. Then, in the auction hall, only Gordon, who has the eye of truth and warning, knows the hidden value of the staff of Nether.
"It's a really good thing, how can you let that guy steal it?"
Gordon glanced at Asalan, who was sitting precariously not far away, and read the anger and panic in the other man's eyes. He smiled slightly, and raised the price again: "Three thousand five hundred." ”
