"Cut the fishing nets! Cut the nets! ”

Captain Foster immediately made a decision and gave a loud order, and the crew looked at each other at the cost of this fishing net, how could they say that they were going to cut it?

"Hear me! Hack! Damn it! ”

Seeing that the crew was a little stunned, Foster cursed, and the latter finally came to his senses, and immediately found a machete and cut the rope attached to the fishing net. In just one minute, everyone realized that the fishing boat was being dragged in the other direction by the nets... It wasn't until the nets were cut that the huge drag finally disappeared.

"Don't be stunned! Full sails! Get out of here! ”

The captain's words made the crew quickly busy, and Foster stared cautiously at the churning sea, his hand holding the helm trembling violently with fear in his heart. This fishing boat is not moving fast because it is not a light warship. But now it's not fully loaded, and the forward speed is quite considerable when the wind is downwind, and Foster doesn't care what direction he is going, as long as he leaves the sea over there!

With such thoughts, the ship began to slow down after a quarter of an hour of sailing. The crew was still speculating about what the fishing nets had hit just now, while Foster frowned and looked at the scattered islands not far away: "How did you get here..."

There are many similar uninhabited islands outside Laciman, the large ones are more than ten square kilometers, and the small ones are only about 100 square meters, and fishermen usually do not come here because there are too many reefs here, and it is easy to have accidents if they are not well protected. So Foster immediately chose to go around, but before he could start spinning the rudder, he heard the crew scream...

"Captain! There's something on the shore! ”

"Where?"

"Look at the shores of those islands!"

"I*! What's that!? ”

"The goddess of the sea is above, is this a fishman?"

Foster turned his head to look and immediately found that things seemed to be far beyond his imagination, he originally thought that there was nothing on the shore of the island, but when he looked closely, he realized that the place that he originally thought was "sea water" was actually a large dense area of fishmen with blue markings!

At a glance, I really can't count how many blue-gills people there are in front of me, but what is certain is... If you are targeted by them, you will never be able to escape.

Foster immediately turned around and prepared to leave the confines of the island as soon as possible, but when the bow of the ship was just righted and ready to accelerate with all its might, everyone saw the sudden upheaval of the sea...

Until the preliminaries of the "Twilight Crown" opened, the "White Pearl" never returned to port.

******

September 28.

In Durrell, Speaker Jeremy doesn't care about the overdue return of the dock ships, and his eyes are now only fixed on the auction in front of him because of the "Nogerforg Auction House".

As Rassiman's highest-level auction house with the rarest auction items, none of the auction items in Nogforg are mortal, and all the people present here are people with heads and faces.

There were a number of magisters from the six academies, as well as representatives of the kingdom's famous families, as well as several emissaries from major powers who were about to participate in the "Twilight Crown". The smaller countries didn't even qualify for the sale, and the country of Eskar was lucky enough to be shortlisted, but Evely and Doiris sat quietly in the corner, looking less interested in the auction items.

This is Evely's political wisdom, and being invited to attend represents Raciman's approval; Not participating in the auction shows their "obedient" attitude of not wanting to cause trouble. The protagonists of this auction are, to put it bluntly, the mages of the major academies in Rasiman China, and they only need to be low-key spectators.

The other colleges were all young representatives, but the Barlenna College was attended by Congressman Rotica in person, and of course... Everyone could guess why he came.

The auctioneers of Nogfogg Auction House are very good at mobilizing the atmosphere, and the more than ten auction items in front of them have made the scene more and more heated, and the bidding voices of the financiers seem to be filled with an invisible smoke of gunpowder. And after the penultimate auction item was launched, the smoke seemed to be completely ignited...

"How is that possible!?"

"8 kilograms is scary enough, it's still refined?!"

Evely and Doureth didn't understand why they were all around. They weren't orthodox Rasiman mages and didn't understand what it meant to have a cobalt gold mine of this level. However, with the introduction of the auctioneer, the participants from other countries also understood how precious this humble blue ore is...

Currently, all of Raciman's floating circle raw materials are related to cobalt gold ore. The term "cobalt-gold ore" itself usually refers to ore, which is a large boulder mixed with many other substances. Lasiman has a lot of impurities in the cobalt gold ore, and out of 10 kilograms of cobalt gold ore, the final refined "cobalt gold" is only 2 kilograms at most. Many people have such preconceived notions, but they never think about the 8 kilograms of cobalt gold in front of them... It turned out to be the weight after purification and refining!

The boxy cobalt gold ingots emitted a little blue light under the illumination of the light circle, but Councillor Rotica, who was staring at it, felt a chill in his heart.

The Barlenna Academy, which has almost a monopoly on cobalt gold mines, naturally knows how difficult these ores are to find, and 8 kilograms of ore can be said to have been found by chance, but looking at the purified ingots in front of him, he immediately realized that this must mean large-scale mining and smelting!

Who the hell is it! What does he want to do?!

Rotica glanced around with an unkind gaze, but he also knew that it was completely impossible to judge the seller behind the cobalt gold mine. All he could do now was buy it at all costs and reduce the chances of the cobalt gold mine being lost to other academies...

With such an idea, the starting price of 3,000 gold coins was directly raised by him to 8,000, and after several other colleges chased after 35,000, he gritted his teeth and burst out the price of 40,000 gold coins, forcibly bringing this piece of cobalt gold mine to Baronnal College!

This is definitely the highest auction price that will be held in tonight's auction, such a terrifyingly high price made the representatives of those small countries stunned, Evely and Dorys were even more silent, because all the tributes they brought to Raciman this year were not worth more than 3,000 gold coins!

Evely didn't expect that a seemingly inconspicuous stone could be auctioned off at such a high price...

Rassiman's gold coins are rich in gold and heavy, and the reason why they did not call a higher price is because the "Nogervogel Auction House" only accepts cash and does not collect it in installments. Therefore, the 40,000 gold coins were smashed down, which really made the Ballenna Academy bleed.

"The person who sold it made a fortune!"

Doiris sighed, looking at the ore and feeling like a mountain of gold coins, then she suddenly remembered the Roddy who liked to brag about her gold coins, and said with a smile: "You said that if the envoy of the Karen Kingdom came to participate in this auction, he would probably be scared to death directly, right?" If there are more of these stones, then it is not a rich country? ”

"That's why I didn't invite this kind of person to come, people in small places are frogs at the bottom of the well after all."

Evely scoffed disdainfully, then continued, "There's no way to get more from the Cobalt Gold Mine... If there are more of them, it will not be an auction. This kind of thing is priceless in the market, and it is all high-level games. ”

She said that it is actually more reliable, and the resource of cobalt gold ore in Laciman is to use a little less, and it is useless to have money alone. And to be honest, several other colleges are very dissatisfied with Barlenna's behavior: on weekdays, you are stuck with materials and don't give us research, why do you even press others for public auctions, and don't let them benefit at all?

But they also muttered two sentences in their stomachs. The momentum of Ballenna College is strong, and it can be called the current number one force of Laciman, looking at this stubborn posture, although several other big schools are not unprovoked, but if you think about it carefully, there is still no need to touch his moldy head, so he gave up.

Rotica got his wish, but he was more concerned about the seller of the cobalt gold mine, but the reply from the auction house was simple: "anonymous auction", and the identity of the seller was not announced.

This answer was expected, but what Rotica didn't expect was that after the 8 kilograms of cobalt gold mine was moved, the director of the auction house suddenly walked to the front of the stage, knocked on the amplification array, and said softly: "The seller of this cobalt gold mine also asked to read out an explanation for the auction of the items, please wait a moment." ”

This scene did not surprise the financiers, because similar notices have appeared many times in the past, mostly to say good things to the buyers, blessings and the like. However, today, the director of the auction house took out an envelope with a serious face, took out a blank piece of paper from it, and said loudly: "From now on, on the seventh day after the successful auction of cobalt gold mines, cobalt gold ingots of the same quality will be fully sold in Raciman. ”

After reading a sentence, the entire venue instantly became extremely quiet. The representatives of the major colleges looked at each other and didn't react for a while, but Barlenna's Rotica Councillor's face turned pale, and he reluctantly grabbed the auction contract that the auction house had just handed over to him!

"What... Meaning? ”

He asked, gritting his teeth. But the latter raised the note in his hand without changing his face: "Nogerfogg Auction House is only responsible for reading out the seller's message, and does not have the right and obligation to leave a message to explain." ”

This sentence suddenly made Rotica feel a breath in his throat, indeed, no matter how powerful he was, it was impossible for him to forcibly force the Nogerfogg Auction House to break the rules. If someone robbed him of the cobalt gold mine just now, he would dare to face him head-on. However, behind the auction house, there are shadows of all the academies and many retired powerhouses, and one Ballenna Academy is really not enough.

This made him feel hot on his face, but in the end, he swallowed his anger and sat back. (To be continued.) )
