Chapter 24: The Beginning of the Mission

Vincent used his mind to open the task bar with mixed joy in his heart, the joy is that the quest means gain, which means that his strength will no longer be limited to level 80, and the worry is that Vincent is more and more suspicious that he is still in the game, and whether this so-called Trea continent is the real world.

[OK]

First of all, he must live, and only by living can he have the capital to understand everything and solve everything.

After the selection is confirmed, a scroll with the details of the mission slowly unfolds in the task bar, and it shines on the scroll, faintly white fluorescent, in Vincent's eyes, it is more like a beacon of hope.

Vincent read the quest scroll word by word with a surge of emotion, and in an instant, an indescribable emotion gushed out of his chest, rushing straight into Vincent's mind, completely crushing his previous weak thoughts.

How the evasion, the fear of death, the fear of the unknown Vincent is worthy of the name of the once feared legend, how he is worthy of the abyss where the relics of the gods do not fall. ]

At the same time, the bidding for the crystal mine has just begun.

Of course, from the very beginning of Stilwell, the purpose was clearly announced about the original intention of the crystal mine auction, and many nobles sitting on the first floor gave up their desire to participate in the bidding, after all, even the Cathy family needs to seek the help of allies to thoroughly analyze the reason why the crystal mine is so magical, not to mention that they are "little nobles", and even if they have the money to take it, if they can't use it, is it really placed in the living room as an eye-catching ornament and a gimmick for some occasions?

"The auction is now open, the reserve price is 100,000 gold coins, and I won't repeat the price if it increases, please start. ”

As soon as Stilwell's words fell, several people from the Earl family on the first floor made a move, and quickly raised the price, even if it was destined that the crystal mine would not fall into their hands from the beginning, but they could make a show without any cost, and they would naturally feel more comfortable in their hearts.

The four dukes and marquis on the second floor naturally knew the psychology of those "little friends" downstairs, so they tacitly agreed to remain silent, and only waited for them to have enough of playing before bidding.

Perhaps the price has reached a certain level, and the lively scene of rapid price increases has gradually cooled down, until the representative of the Marquis of Clarence family made his first bid, indicating that the final moment of the real decision on the buyer is coming.

Almost instantly, the price, which had been normal before, suddenly rose, and the competition was far more fierce than just now, and when the representative of Duke Osborne's family shouted an astronomical figure of 500,000 gold coins, it also indicated that the auction results were about to be officially announced.

And at that time, it happened to be the best moment for Vincent to decide what kind of posture to provoke the audience.

"Five hundred and twenty thousand, Duke Victor bid five hundred and twenty thousand, and there is no one to continue to increase the price, if ......" Stilwell tore open his bow tie, his face was hideous with excitement, his original gentle temperament was gone, and when he roared hoarsely, he was interrupted by the next bid.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand, Duke Osborne..."

"Five hundred and seventy thousand, Harold..."

"Six hundred and fifty thousand, Duke Victor bid six hundred and fifty thousand, worthy of the ancient family that has been standing since the founding of the Divine Blessed Empire. Is 650,000 the highest price? No one continues to bid? Duke Osborne...", however, Stilwell, who became an auctioneer for the first time, was still a little unsatisfied.

An old man's voice, which sounded a little hoarse but full of energy, came from the VIP room of Duke Victor on the second floor.

"Little Stilwell, the 650,000 yuan is for your Cathy family to repair and pay for the various expenses caused by the crystal mine, if you are greedy, we can take it directly, and I believe that your grandfather will agree to our request." ”

Hearing this, Stilwell, who was still a little excited before, had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and said: "Okay, since Your Excellency has spoken, I naturally approve it with both hands, then, I announce that the mysterious crystal mine has been used by Duke Victor to the highest of 650,000 gold coins..."

Just as everyone's attention was on Stilwell, and at the same time enjoying the gaze of everyone on Stilwell, his face flushed to announce the final result, Vincent made a move.

"I disagree. ”

Vincent stood up straight, and at the same time waved his hand outward, lifting the gray cloak that covered his original outfit, and at the same time, Kerinion, who looked dazed, also fell into the abyss with the fall of Vincent's cloak.

Of course, Avensi, who understood Vincent's every move, also lifted her cloak domineeringly, but the step that approached Vincent later showed that she agreed with Vincent's remarks about preserving herself.

Stilwell, who was interrupted from speaking, was stunned, and remained quiet at the moment, and there was a sudden uproar in the auction house waiting for the results.

Almost all of the people present looked at Vincent with surprised eyes, and when they clearly saw the fourth-order magician's badge on Vincent's chest, they all looked at Vincent's side of Evsie, but found that they couldn't get any information from Evensy, who was just wearing a magic robe.

Everyone's eyes shifted to Kerinion, who was bowing down, but the discovery of Kerinion's identity made everyone even more confused.

Stilwell, who had recovered from a brief moment of stunned, didn't know what to say next.

Stilwell really couldn't figure out how a fourth-order magician would say something at auction that might be more appropriate at the wedding scene in the church.

Stilwell, who was hosting the auction for the first time, really didn't know how to deal with the current situation, and he could only ask dryly, "Why?"

Vincent said in a sonorous and powerful tone, "Because it belongs to me." ”

After listening to Vincent's words, Stilwell almost blurted out and replied directly to Vincent, "You say yes!"

Stilwell swallowed a mouthful of saliva to relieve his emotions, but sadly found that he didn't know what to do.

[Why do you think it's yours with your name written on it?] Stilwell immediately vetoed the child's idea.

[Since you said it was yours, do you have any way to prove it?] Stilwell vetoed it again, what if that person really proved it.

[It can't be yours.] Stilwell still vetoed it, because he had said that the crystal mine had fallen into the family's fiefdom.

Stilwell, who couldn't think of a perfect response, smiled wryly and said, "You should at least tell us why!"

Vincent's eyes were full of unwavering brilliance, and he slowly shook his head and then slowly said, "No need. ”

Everyone who had been following the development of the situation was furious by Vincent's arrogant and uninhibited behavior, which also caused many nobles to stand up and glare at Vinson angrily, regardless of their demeanor.

Even Stilwell, who kept telling himself not to be angry, couldn't help but turn red and white, but he suppressed his surging emotions and seriously thought about the current situation.

First of all, this magician, who claimed to be the owner of the mysterious crystal mine, could be sure that he was quite young just by listening to the voice, and that a young fourth-order magician meant an infinitely bright future.

Secondly, the origin of the crystal mine was indeed unknown, and its mysterious rarity had reached a level that Stilwell had never heard of, so Stilwell was almost certain that the fourth-order magician had no reason to lie.

In the end, Stilwell must weigh the pros and cons of offending a magician who will definitely be valued by the Empire for the sake of the mysterious crystal mine, or for the sake of face, he will not hesitate to stand against this magician.

"I'm sorry, I can't return it to you directly. After much thought, Stilwell finally made his decision word by word.

At this time, Duke Victor VIP room.

Benjamin Victor, known as the best man of the younger generation, is also a magician, a magician who reached the third order at the age of seventeen.

And Benjamin, who has always been calm and resolute, and gentle and elegant, actually paced back and forth in the VIP room with red cheeks because of anger, and said very quickly as he walked: "It's so infuriating, grandpa, why don't you teach that arrogant man who doesn't know the rules a lesson." ”

Duke Victor knew very well why his grandson, who behaved completely different from usual, was so irritable, and he didn't say it, after all, proper catharsis is conducive to controlling emotions.

Duke Victor said slowly: "Hehe, your grandfather and I don't dare to make a rash move. ”

Hearing Duke Victor's words, Benjamin, who was like a furious before, seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water, and instantly calmed down.

But Benjamin still had doubts, and he asked, puzzled, "Why? Do you know his mentor?"

"No, it's the first time I've seen this man, but if I'm not mistaken, his status in the Queen's mind is no less than mine. ”

"You mean, he's orderβ€”" as if recalling something, Benjamin said in an agitated tone.

"That's right, fourth-order black-robed young magician, it seems that Stilwell's kid is going to suffer!andβ€”" Duke Victor's voice grew smaller and quieter until he could no longer be heard.

downstairs

"I'm hoping to make a bet with you on this thing. Stilwell pointed to the crystal mines, cutting the railroad.

"Duel? I like it. Vincent touched the metal on his lips and smiled slightly.
