Chapter 191: The Eve of the Auction
Bei Ming said: "If this story is true, then this kid is bad." After it came out, he told the story and made up a poem, and it would be awesome if he drew the map of 'Loki Shinzo'!"
Shui Ningxin analyzed: "The most important thing is that we have to find this 'Twilight Kingdom'!"
Hongxue nodded and said, "But neither of these stories mentions which era, how can we find it?"
"It's not difficult, just flip through the history books. Mourning Tian said while pretending to be cool with a cigarette in his hand.
Xia Yue couldn't help but slap him on the head when she looked at his uneducated appearance, and scolded: "Stupid, do you know how many countries have appeared on this continent? How many countries have no historical records? Only an illiterate person like you can tell if you look through history books!"
Xia Yue is right, in the history of the entire continent, the number of countries is as vast as a sea of smoke, and it has not been completely counted until now! Since the beginning of civilization, mankind has been fighting and invading, and no country has ever said that it can unify the entire continent! When there are many countries, there are hundreds, even thousands, of countries on the continent! That is, after the decisive battle, the number of countries on the whole continent has been reduced to the minimum! 7!
Moreover, it is not said that the history books can be checked, and the books are the same as the text, and the same language has only been implemented in the past few hundred years, and the price of this kind of cultural unification is that there are fewer and fewer people who understand the minority ethnic culture. In other words, if this 'Twilight Kingdom' appeared seven or eight hundred years ago, if the records were written in some kind of text that has disappeared, it is likely that they would not know about this information in front of them.
"Well, it kind of gives us some direction, by the way, this guard's grandmother's... Grandpa was probably a figure from hundreds of years ago?" asked Bei Ming.
"It's hard to say, when science and technology were not so developed before, everyone cultivated, and they would do some manual labor more or less, and the civilians at that time lived much longer than now, unlike now, most of the cultivation methods are in the hands of powerful people. Shui Ningxin said.
"Okay, let's stop thinking about it, let's go to the library and check the materials of the last seven or eight hundred years. Just look for this 'Twilight Kingdom'!" Beiming stood up and said.
"Let's go!"
The group rushed to the library to find out the evening.... Nothing to gain ....
Seeing that the auction is not a few days away, Beiming and they are not looking for trouble, every day is the library Jingshuo Palace, two o'clock and one line, Beiming chats with them at night, goes to accompany his mother, and lives a comfortable life.
Finally, on the first day of the auction, they found a document that recorded the 'Twilight Kingdom' but only a few words, there was once a regime 'Twilight Kingdom' in the reckless mountains of the eastern Terranier Mountains, but this regime did not leave any traces of its existence in history, it can be seen that this regime has existed for at least thousands of years, but it is puzzling that there is no record of external expansion, and there is no record of intersecting with neighboring countries.
They roughly calculated that the Terranil Mountains are bigger, basically across half a continent, the eastern range is too large, the easternmost is the Dongqi Empire, for which the Northern Ming Dynasty also specially looked for the Xiaoyao King, and the Xiaoyao King found out through the Dongqi Royal Library that there was indeed such a regime in Dongqi, but the specific location is not clear.
Beiming and they are all very happy, and finally have a clue, although it is still uncertain where it is, but it is certain that now 'Rocky Shenzang' is in Dongqi!
That night, the Duke called a few of them again to have a meeting with them.
"Beiming, the list of auctions has come out, we are going to buy the No. 57 collection, Leng Yue! will be auctioned on the second day of the auction. Duke Xingqi said and threw a pile of information to Bei Ming, "You just need to see which one it is." ”
Bei Ming took the information, looked at it, nodded and said, "Don't worry, father, I remember." ”
"Whatever it takes!" said Starcaster, lighting a cigarette, "As for the scepter of the Magic Guild, it is the final lot and will not be sold until the third day." Nine Emperor Princes, you just work hard, it doesn't matter if you can't buy it, I've already arranged a few masters to grab it!"
"Yes! The Nine Emperor Princes nodded gratefully. This scepter is related to his future development, as long as he returns with the scepter this time, his status in the magic guild will be improved again. But if someone else takes it away, this matter will not be easy to handle, and he will basically be put into the cold palace by the Magic Guild, and he will basically have nothing to do with any major events in the future.
Xingqi nodded and said, "Tomorrow you can just improvise." ”
Bei Ming clapped his hands and said: "Okay, brothers, just tell me what you want, our task in the next few days is to spend money!"
"You really look like a second ancestor now. Mourning Tian complained.
"What is it! I am! Tomorrow I can do whatever I want. After Bei Ming finished smiling, he thought of something and said to the Duke of Xingqi: "Father, the people of the Qianxia Kingdom should also arrive tomorrow, right?"
Duke Xingqi lit a cigarette and said: "Don't worry about him, that Ginnis arrived yesterday, and he wanted to find me to reason, I gave him some compensation out of humanitarianism, and after reasoning with him, he went to find Elvis, but he was scolded by Elvis, and I don't know what happened later." ”
"Hey, I thought they were going to get revenge. Pu Xiuwen said.
"But even if it was revenge on him, it would be revenge on Elvis, after all, I was sympathetic at the time. Duke Xingqi said as he took a puff of his cigarette.
A few people chatted for a while, and the Duke of Xingqi left first.
After the Duke of Xingqi left, Bei Ming completely let go, took the auction manual and put it in front of Shui Ningxin and a few of them, and said: "Pick it, as long as it is a fancy tomorrow, buy it all!"
"Yes, you pick it, by the way, I want to buy something at the auction and send it back to my girlfriend. Pu Xiuwen said embarrassedly.
A group of people flipped through the auction brochure and chose a gift for him.
"Old Jiu, what's wrong with you, your Magic Guild, is there any embarrassment for you?" Bei Ming asked as he sat next to the Nine Emperor Princes.
The Nine Emperors smiled and said, "What do they dare to say? No one dares to say anything except my teacher who said that I am too domineering, after all, we are all in charge of the whole thing!"
"That's good, I'm afraid you'll be a little splinted, by the way, will your teacher come tomorrow?"
"He'll be here tomorrow night, and tomorrow morning it's the donation ceremony, and he's not going to show up about it. If something goes wrong with this in the future, he can push me out to block the gun! These old foxes are shrewd. The Nine Emperor Princes said with a contemptuous smile.
Beiming patted him on the shoulder, not knowing what to say. Now this situation seems to be very good, but in fact, he still does not hold his life in his own hands. After a pause, he said, "Brother, no matter how strong it is, I'll go back to Dongqi to help you after the auction is over!"
This Bei Ming didn't talk nonsense, he was nominally a disciple of the vice president of the Magic Guild, and as long as he returned to Bailan, he could go to the Magic Guild to report, so he really didn't brag about helping.
"With you here, it's so much easier for me. The two looked at each other and smiled.
