PS: Under revision.

As more and more auction items appeared, the big names on the mainland who were interested in them also set their sights on Boreham Territory. It is precisely for this reason that the city of Poitou has become more and more lively day by day.

Characterful and delicate carriages begin to travel to and from the streets of Poitou. These carriages are magnificent, noble and restrained, or have a strong atmosphere of mystery. The different gold-painted patterns and branded heraldic emblems indicate their identity to the world.

"That's right! That's it, waist force. As he said this, Barrett tapped the soldier in front of him on the waist with the stick in his hand. Then he knocked on the other party's calf, "Don't be so tight in the muscles of your lower limbs." Otherwise, if there is any accident, there is no room for change at all. ”

Standing on the school grounds, Barrett can now be said to be back in business. It's just that when he was in Shafeir City, Barrett was responsible for training the most basic militia. And now, with the increase in strength, Barrett's task has also risen - the training of the regular army has begun.

As for why Barrett would take on such a task, it was naturally because of the lengthy preparation for the auction. Even in reality, 1-2 weeks before each major auction, the auction house will send the catalogue of the lot to a potential large customer. Give them time to prepare and make trade-offs, so that they don't miss out on their goals because of time issues.

As a result, players will have to go through a long wait in the city of Poitou. This is not only for the first time to get the proceeds of the auction, but also for their own safety.

Although the Earl of Boreham has not revealed the identity of the players. But with those clues, it is not difficult for those who are interested to find out the relationship between the bloodstained gray flowers and these commodities - even if most people think. The auction items had actually been eaten by the Boreham family. before it was resold again. But there's no absolute guarantee that no one will come to the players' minds.

The auction attracts a huge flow of people. It is not only the economy of Poitou that has prospered, but also the operators of restaurants and inns who have made a lot of money. At the same time, it also made the city of Poitou, which was originally in a good state of security, a little chaotic. Although the security team and city guards in the city could not be said to have become exhausted by this, it was clear from their tired faces that this time had not been easy.

It's a very dangerous thing to run around in this situation, and who knows if there will be any natives who have taken advantage of the player's opportunity. If it's just that the player can get rid of the object and it's just a little troublesome, if it's really some strong people who can't deal with it, then it's really a gnawing father.

So at Barrett's beheaving, the Bloodstained Grey Flower Team made a decision. That is, before the auction is completed and those unused items are transformed into real combat power. Players will not leave Poitou. They won't even go to the secluded alleys of the city, far from the crowds, to prevent anyone from taking a risk right under the nose of the Count.

However, during these days in Poitou, players can't afford to spend all day in a small rented courtyard of a house that has nothing to do. In that case, not only will it affect the situation, but it will also be too poor in terms of the utilization of time.

In this case, the blood-stained gray flowers can only find something to do for themselves in the city. In his own right, Barrett was offered a position as a temporary recruit instructor in the barracks. While teaching these recruits, they also have the opportunity to fight against those elite veterans to ensure that their skills do not regress.

Rielie and Claudia. With Barrett's help, the two spellcasters were able to enter the municipal library in Poitou to read. Although there is nothing directly related to power in the books there, it is for the two professions of mage and true name teacher. A lot of knowledge that is read more and more - no one knows if knowledge that you don't think is useful now will come in handy in the future.

And Rielly herself was also protected by Barrett and Lalou as the team's neutral post during this time. Go to the Mage Shop in Poitu City and buy some spell materials that you haven't learned before. While acquiring new spells, he also took advantage of his spare time to start transcribing some scrolls that could be used in the future - to be honest, it was the first time Barrett had seen Rielly in such a 'hard work'.

For this reason, in private, he even wondered if the current Rielly in the team would be pretended to be someone else with a heart. However in Clematis. Bot gave an unexpected answer: "Don't worry! Lily will get into this state sometimes. Otherwise, after falling out with her family, she and Lulu wouldn't be able to live so nourishingly! ”

"That's right! That's right! That's what Lily looks like when she's focused on her work. The only problem is that every time she focuses on work, it is not very long. I'm afraid it's the same this time, and I'm betting it won't be more than 15 days. "Claudia, another mage's acquaintance. Miss Auditore, with her mouth covered and smiling, gave this answer.

All right! As a companion who has only known each other in the game for less than half a year, Barrett's understanding of the players around him is not completely superficial, but it is not very in-depth and comprehensive. However, now that he knows that Rielly himself has no problems with nausea, Barrett naturally will not dwell on this aspect.

As the days went by, Barrett himself would have waited until the end of the auction to receive the final sale before meeting the current Earl of Boreham. But in the meantime, Lord Earl Boram suddenly sent a message to Barrett, hoping that he would come to the castle to see him.

Barrett, who didn't know why this situation suddenly appeared, walked into the Boreham family's castle with trepidation. Walking through the corridor, which was already very different from the past, Barrett was guided by the butler to the door of the castle's study again.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Barrett reached out and knocked on the door.

Immediately, from behind the door, the voice of the Earl of Boreham rang out: "Outside is Barrett of Shafeir City!" Push the door in! The door is unlocked. ”

Barrett, who pushed the door in, closed the door with his hand, walked to the center of the study and asked on his own, "Lord Earl, you have suddenly summoned me." I don't know if there are instructions? ”

"Isn't there anything. Won't I be able to meet the best of the family? Are you thinking too old-fashioned? "Lord Earl in front of you. He said as he touched his chin with his whole hand.

Although he could hear the ridicule in Earl Boreham's words, Barrett was sure that he should not follow the other party's ridicule. After all, there is a huge gap in status between the two, and the relationship and cognition between the two sides are not close. It is often said that a companion is like a companion - when it comes to getting along with someone who can easily decide whether he lives or dies, no matter how careful he is.

It is precisely for this reason that Barrett, after a little hesitation, decided to tell the truth: "Because at this point in time, I think you don't have much time to summon me here just for small talk." After all, with the auction fast approaching, there's plenty to keep you busy in Poitou. ”

"Here's what you really think." The Earl of Boreham nodded in satisfaction. "But one thing you don't know is that now as an earl, I don't need to be as respectful as my ancestors. So don't look at the busy city outside, but I think I'll be able to free up some time. Of course, I have summoned you today, and there is indeed something that needs to be resolved. And it's a big deal about you. ”

'Big things about me?' Could it be that the problem of buying and selling has changed? Which mage organization actually exerted pressure that even the Borem family could not bear...... 'Barrett's mind immediately became active when he heard this. After all, this kind of thing has always been worried about Barrett from the moment the auction is prepared.

Seeing the worried and sluggish expression on Barrett's face, Earl Boreham slapped his palm and woke him up: "Okay! Barrett of Shafir, you young man, don't be cranky. During this time, you little guys have been inquiring about the Mage Guild, presumably looking for a suitable advancement channel for the mage in the team! ”

Barrett, who heard this, smiled and scratched the back of his head: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from your eyes!" ”

"What a hide. I can't hide it. Seeing the way you are now, it shouldn't be much worse to be your teammate! Find the right direction and channel for you. Isn't that one of your tasks at this stage? The Earl of Boreham said with a smile on his face.

Immediately, Barrett also had a smile on his face: "In other words, Lord Earl, are you willing to give my companion a chance?" ”

"Nope! No! No! In terms of the advancement of mages, our Boreham family is not the best choice, and of course, if that mage is willing to join our family, we will welcome it. At this point, the Earl of Boreham winked at Barrett, "The most important thing now should be to discuss your future direction and next course!" ”

As Earl Boreham's words ended, Barrett's ears immediately remembered the system prompt: "The player accepts the continuous quest Boreham Culture Prologue - Clan Recognition Completed...... Embark on the next phase...... Follow-up Quest: Boreham's Cultural Revelation - Path Choice Trigger ...... Players start choosing ......"

"Lord Earl, are you saying that my advanced assessment has been decided?" Barrett asked with a beaming face.

Seeing this, the Earl of Boram smiled and asked, "What's so surprising about this?" It's been a few days since you made your application! I don't think the efficiency of our Boreham family has slowed down to that level. ”

"Nope! No! No! That's not what I meant......" Barrett, who said this, suddenly felt a little confused: "Apply?" Wait, I don't remember when I made my request for this? ”

"If it wasn't for the application, why were you in a hurry to make up for the missing contributions with the Bear Cloak (pseudo)?" Count Boreham was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Of course, our Bolim family is not unkind. If you refuse to choose your own Progression route now, I can also cancel the trial and return those contributions back to your clan account. ”

Barrett, who heard this, immediately became anxious, and he spoke before the system prompt appeared: "Dear Earl, I am very concerned about your reasonableness. In fact, I originally wanted to wait until after the auction was over to make the request. I didn't expect you to be so concerned about the affairs of our people, Lord Earl. ”

"You need to remember one thing. I don't care about all the younger generations of my family. Only the ones that really deserve my attention. I will take my eyes off them. "Count Boram moved his finger as he said this." And deciding the direction of your trial before the auction is still more beneficial for you than after the auction. At the very least, you can choose more specific items when trading. ”

"I just didn't expect it." Barrett, who said this, scratched his head, and then bowed deeply: "Thank you very much for the family's love for me, then for the future path, please tell the Earl what I can choose." ”

"Your basic class is 'Order Military Force', as an alternative class with 'Sword of the Military Dao' as the backbone, its versatility is still quite strong. In our Boreham family, the inheritance in this system is still very complete. So you have a lot of paths to choose from. "Count Boreham, who had said this, immediately stood up." For example, the 'Bloody Blade', which has the special ability to throw various weapons, and the 'Spellbreaker', who destroys supernatural abilities with will......"

"Some of these professions seem to have given up on learning moves!" Barrett asked uncertainly.

The Earl of Boreham nodded: "That's right! Some of these professions do affect your ability to learn new moves. Others limit development in a certain direction. However, they tend to be able to acquire quite good mental abilities, and the trade-offs are up to you. ”

After listening to the introduction of the Earl of Boreham, Barrett immediately frowned: 'You can't say that! The profession of a martial artist is characterized by countless lists! It's like the rumors out there are no lists and no human rights, and they give up the moves in the list for the sake of those abilities. I'm not that stupid! ’

Then, as if he had made up his mind, Barrett nodded: "What if I continue to choose to continue on the path of 'order and military force'!" Will this have any negative impact on my future development? ”

"Negative influences?" The Earl of Boreham smiled strangely, and then suddenly stepped over the desk to Barrett. I saw him reach out and pat Barrett on the shoulder and say, "I have to say that you made the right choice." In the Boreham system, this is the only way to go. By the time you advance to Dark Lead (level 11), chances are you'll understand the difference between the two. ”

Hearing this, Barrett was shocked: "What about the ancestors who chose these advancements!" Is there ...... way for them to come?"

"Nope! No matter what kind of path you have, it's just a path after all. In the end, it's still people who can go so far! Earl Boreham, who said this, shook his head, "No matter what direction you choose." In the end, there is a chance to step to the top. It's just that the direction is different, and the help that the family can give you is also different. ”

But what the Earl of Borem didn't say was that. The same peak, the peak height is different between different mountains. Some of these advanced classes are designed to gain great power in the short term, but they also have some impact on the final achievement in the later game - a bit like the difference between early and late heroes in competitive games.

It's just that among the aborigines, the growth of a person is not as rigid as the number of jù. It's not always a genius who subverts people's forgotten cognition, and finally relies on his own strength to artificially elevate the mountain.

"Then those previous contributions and trial missions ......," Barrett asked, a little confused.

Count Boram smiled: "Don't worry! In this respect, the family is not fooling you. Even in the profession of 'Order and Military Force', there are paths. Sea or land, you need to make a choice from it. ”

"Sea vs. land?" Barrett frowned.

"Yes, sea and land. To put it bluntly, it is the direction of the two schools of wave flow and stone dragon flow strengthened. Earl Boreham, who said this, nodded, "After the deduction of our family through the generations, we have finally promoted these two elements related to the genre to a height that no one knows before. It's a pity that the genre of wind and fire, 'Desert Flow', we still haven't finished ......"

"And what about the rest! For example, there are three genres: Iron Heart, White Crow, and Steel Soul. Barrett asked cautiously.

Count Boram nodded knowingly: "They are not the ones you say need to be concerned about right now. ”

Not now, that is to say, the road ahead. Now, if I had to choose between the wave and the stone dragon flow, I would ...... Barrett consider it: "I choose land!" ”

"Okay! In that case, get ready to explore the desert! I think this experience will be unforgettable. The Earl of Boreham had a smiling look on his face.

"Boreham's Cultural Enlightenment Chapter - 'Dancing Girl in the Wind and Fire' Opens ......"

Barrett, who understood his mission, nodded: "Then I'll go and prepare now." ”

"That's right! Don't forget to stop by the auction! The Earl of Boreham prompted.

…………

Finally, the auction, which was held for three consecutive days, began. In Rielly, it seemed unthinkable that this auction, which had attracted most of the Western Continent, was actually held in a seemingly ordinary mansion in the city. This mansion building is a three-story marble structure with a green tile roof and simple applique brick walls; The composition of the façade is simple and elegant, and the towering sloping roof and exposed stone platform make the building look intimate and simple.

After entering, Barrett immediately noticed that there was a hole in the mansion. The kind of cloak that was handed over by the attendants and was said to prevent detection. Then, under their guidance, they entered the room through a mahogany door. It was just an ordinary room, but when Barrett arrived inside, he found that it was beyond his imagination.

The room that was supposed to be on the first floor has been transformed into a grandstand in the theater, and you can see the large booth in the center where the auction is taking place in the distance.

"This is the application of the Demon Duncan's Mansion Technique and the Leo Mon Cottage with the Magic Pattern." Rielly said thoughtfully. That's when Barrett said, "Okay, the auction is about to start, let's see what good things can be!" ”

The first to be put on the table is a deck of playing cards in a silver box, marked with only basic symbols, and the back of the cards is crisscrossed with patterns. On one side of the box are mineral paints the sword, scepter, diamond and chalice symbolized by the four suits, and on the other side is engraved a wheel pattern symbolizing fate.

"As we all know, magic solitaire and impermanent cards represent the two most original meanings of the form of solitaire. Before it was used as a game item, the symbolism of its essence was restored to a supernatural nature and linked to the impermanence, struggle, and omentic meaning of the card game. ”

"Spades: The symbol of spades is the sword, which represents victory. Square piece: The symbol of the square piece. It's a diamond grass flower: The grass flower symbolizes the scepter and represents power. Red Heart: The red heart symbolizes the Holy Grail and represents the soul. Although they are badly crippled, this does not affect their value. The auctioneer said

However, when the auction began, there was still a lot of competition between several people, and finally stopped when the price reached 7,500 gold coins.

Calais is the Master of Spell Charm, and this platinum lock only works if it is selected as a spell link item for a spell. It allows mages to prepare an additional six spell levels of additional spells per day. The starting price was 22,000 gold coins, and it was finally sold for 35,000 gold coins.

Loved by tomb keepers, this pendant is a necklace of bones, nails and teeth strung with colored iron rings. A faint blue light surrounds the wearer, shielding them from the undead.

Next up are a series of spell materials such as "Practical Fifteen Rules of Wall Spells", "On the Advantages of Tattoo Spell Books", "Alienist Research and Advanced Guide", "Rainbow Apprentice's Magic Wall Mastery Skills", "How to Sublimate Your School Spells", "Weaving a Dinking Nightmare Practical Combat Tutorial", "10 Days to Teach You to Awaken the Wildness in Arcane" and a series of spell materials.

Now the players' hearts began to pound. (To be continued......)
