608 Charity Reception 3
"The big bad guy is that table. My cousin and the eldest young master of the Mante Manning family are here, you should know both of them, right? As she walked, Ji'er quietly introduced the characters to Gordon who were about to be at the same table.
"I know your cousin. The eldest young master of the Mante Manning family, I only know his father. However, looking at his honest and simple fisherman's appearance, it should not be difficult to deal with. "But you'd better call me 'Earl Freeman' in a moment." ”
Hearing Gordon say that the eldest young master of Yaroslav, whose personal wealth can rank in the top ten in Freiris City, is a simple fisherman, Ji'er couldn't help but laugh, and then glared at Gordon again: "Why do you have an opinion on me calling you a big villain?" There are already so many girls around, and they are constantly provoking more girls...... Aren't you the big badass? ”
"Okay, you're the eldest lady, I can call you whatever you want." Gordon spread his hands out, and he didn't mean to defend himself at all, "It's just that I'm afraid that others will be jealous." ”
"Jealousy? Why be jealous? ”
"Because of the entire multiverse, there is only this honor to be called the big bad guy by the eldest lady."
"You ......" Miss Ji'er finally couldn't help it, and gently pinched the man next to her, but she didn't speak again, because the two had already walked to the big round table and were about to sit down.
With the addition of Gordon and Ji'er, there are four men and four women at this table. The most powerful girl in Fryjus City now arrived, and everyone at the table rose to welcome her. It's just that Ji'er's cousin, Count Raymond, has a slightly ugly face.
When I saw Ji'er and Gordon coming together, even holding hands intimately. His face quickly changed from a spring breeze to a cloudy one.
Before attending this charity auction, Raymond had also invited Ji'er. However, the other party simply rejected him. At the time, he thought that his cousin was just shy and that he would not be with men his age when he attended the auction. Instead, she chooses an elder - such as her uncle and teacher, Savi. Langdon. So Raymond invited another beautiful aristocratic lady.
Who knows, my cousin is actually with that annoying foreigner, and I despise Gordon in my heart. Freeman came here in groups.
Thinking that he was boasting triumphantly just now that he would be able to chase Ji'er after him soon, and now this situation is simply a slap in the face.
Fortunately, the young people at the same table are all from the upper class with good family education, and even if they have any ideas in their hearts, they will not take the initiative to expose Mr. Raymond's sore spots. So the matter was quickly and deliberately skipped.
Although he sensed the inexplicable hidden hostility of Cousin Ji'er, Gordon didn't care. Maintain a formulaic smile and sit down. But in an instant, his body froze, and he felt a cold and tricky aura envelop him. He looked around, fixing his gaze on the man behind Count Raymond.
When nobles attend such a large-scale drinking party, it is also common for them to bring one or two personal retinues with them, so Gordon didn't pay much attention to it just now. But now it seems that the swordsman standing behind Count Raymond, with a small glance at a pretty mustache and a slick hair, seems to have bad intentions towards him.
Or rather. Because Count Raymond didn't like Gordon, the so-called loyal subordinate secretly took action and wanted to make Gordon ugly.
Gordon sat down casually and looked at the swordsman with a smile: "Lord Count Raymond." Who is this faithful escort behind you? I was able to feel the power of his aura before I even sat down, which was admirable. ”
"He's a Martin Honorary Knight. The assistant I just recruited has the strength of a level thirteen swordsman. Raymond proudly introduced to Gordon.
Beauty, treasures, strange beasts, talents. They are all things that can be flaunted by the aristocracy.
"It's an honor to meet a master of swordsmanship tonight." Gordon greeted Mr. Martin. "Presumably you have awakened the power, and the main function of the power is to weaken the enemy's physical functions."
Although Gordon was polite, Martin, who was meticulously dressed, dressed in a formal dress and carrying a gorgeous sword at his waist, set off a storm in his heart.
Just now, Gordon was able to withstand his sneak attack, and he was already surprised that he was not suddenly exhausted, lying on the table, and showing his ugliness. The effect of a mage whose body should be fragile to be able to withstand his own power is simply unheard of. And the other party not only immediately keenly realized that it was his own secret sneak attack, but also said the specific role of his power in one word.
"This Gordon. Freeman is very powerful......" Martin was awe-struck in his heart and bowed, "You have won the award, I am not a master of swordsmanship." ”
Count Raymond did not notice the confrontation between the two men hidden under the words, but said proudly: "Martin, don't be too humble. You're the solo champion in the free section of this year's tournament. If you are a man, you should be proud of the glory you have won and not hide it. ”
The so-called free group is a group specially set up for mercenaries, adventurers, wandering samurai and other non-aristocratic classes at the tournament. Although these people are generally less powerful than the systematically trained nobles and contestants from the military, some truly strong people have occasionally emerged in previous years.
However, this Martin Honorary Knight obviously does not belong to the real powerhouse. Although his rank is very high, it only means that he has achieved good results in the guild test, which may be a reflection of his strength from one angle, but it cannot fully reflect his strength.
At least in Gordon's opinion, this Mr. Martin will definitely not be a match for Renus or Sheona.
After this little episode, everyone at the table was safe and sound, and soon waited for the auction to open.
Auction items are generally brought to the stage, and then auctioned off by the nobles and wealthy merchants who spend money like water. In order to allow the audience to see the details of the auction items, the auction organizers of the agate masks even set up a huge magic screen, and the crystal ball projected through guò magnified the details of each auction item and presented it to the eyes of each participant.
But no matter how well these details are served, Gordon is not interested. As he had predicted, the items at auction were gold, silver, jewelry, or famous paintings and antiques, which might have artistic value, but for Gordon, they had no practical value.
Soon, however, when another auction item was put on the auction table by the beautiful wild elf girl, it caught Gordon's attention.
It is a bizarre cylindrical sculpture made of obsidian. Looking at the clumsy and wild art style, it should belong to a tribe that has not fully civilized civilization. In terms of artistic beauty, this thing can't attract a woman's attention. In terms of historical background, there is no way to attract the attention of men. Except for collectors with a curious mindset, I'm afraid not many people will spend money on it.
However, Gordon was one of the few people in the venue who had the desire to buy this totem ornament.
"This is the black magic totem of the voodoo priest of the barbarians of Thamfa Island, which is carved with the black god revered by the barbarians on the island, and it is said that this totem has a strange magical power, and it is not destined to be held by a person. Originally, an adventuring team obtained a total of six dark magic totems from Tanfa Island, but in the end, only this one has survived intact to this day. The other dark magic totems were all destroyed in the terrible catastrophic explosion. ”
The hunting story introduced by the auctioneer did not make too many people interested in this black magic totem. Even Miss Ji'er, who was sitting next to Gordon, lost her excitement and just fiddled with a small piece of cream chestnut cake in front of her.
"Hey, big bad, you're interested in this ugly thing?" Seeing Gordon carefully looking at the auction items on the stage, Ji'er couldn't help but feel moved in her heart, and leaned into his ear and asked.
The intimate movements of the two made Count Raymond frown, and his heart was so unhappy.
"I think this dark magic totem is quite interesting."
"No, such an ugly stone stick...... In particular, the rows of round stones inlaid on it reminded me of the thousands of secondary eyes of a boulder spider, which is disgusting......
Ji'er looked like she was about to get goosebumps. Gordon knew that she had a scientific name for this condition on Earth, called "dense phobia."
The hundreds of black eyeball-like cobblestones that were densely inlaid as decorations on the black magic totem were indeed very disgusting. However, Gordon was going to take pictures of this black magic totem, and it was for these stones.
Dark God? How could a small barbarian tribe have enough faith to support a true god?
Strange magic? It's even more nonsense. Any full-fledged mage, even with only one ring of arcane attainment, can tell that this dark magic totem is not a magical item at all. And the catastrophic explosion caused by the black magic totem that the auctioneer said was actually caused by the small round stones inlaid on it.
In the entire auction hall, nay, it could even be said that in the entire city of Fryjus, there was probably only one person who could recognize this rare small round stone.
He had seen this rare black cobblestone in the Ancient Era, whose official name was "Sonic Stone". This sonic stone has a special ability, that is, it can produce violent, high-frequency vibrations under certain conditions, and finally explode in an instant. Moreover, the sonic stone not only vibrates and explodes on its own, but also causes any inorganic matter in the vicinity to vibrate and explode.
Although the Earth and the world of Telos have completely different physical laws, Gordon feels that he can barely use "resonance" to explain this strange phenomenon.
Since the Sonic Stone's vibration is a special source energy, not arcane energy, it is not considered a magic material in the eyes of everyone, and it does not attract the attention of many spellcasters at the auction. However, Gordon knew that this small stone, if used properly, could burst into great power. (To be continued......)
