"It's useless. Ferdinand then shook his head: "Bruno, this idiot, he made a move, and he let it go before the auction started, although many competitors came out early.

But it also makes more people think that the matter of learning from Master DeWitt to choose an apprentice is true.

Even if Bruno can be prevented from participating in this auction, there will be fierce competition from others.

I originally estimated 20,000 gold, but I didn't count this situation. ”

When he said this, a flash of realization flashed in Ferdinand's eyes: "No wonder, no wonder when I spread the news, I felt that there were other forces helping to spread, originally I couldn't figure it out, but now I think about it, it was the guys who auctioned for 6 hours who were fueling the trouble."

They also want to sell for a high price. ”

Fang Xingjian nodded, he was determined to get the skull, now that the auction has not started, the price ceiling has been speculated again and again, and now the money in his hand is a huge amount of money wherever it is placed, but it is not enough to participate in this auction.

In the midst of constant discussions, one method after another was thrown out, then denied, and the exchange lasted until the day was almost dawning. None of the four came up with a single method.

Anthony collapsed on the couch and said in frustration: "Why don't we just rob Bruno, rob him of his money, and take it to auction." ”

Ferdinand pouted and said, "If you offend a knight with a title, a high-ranking official of the empire, you go by yourself, I will not accompany you to death." ”

"Pretending to be Bruno?" Fang Xingjian said in thought as he looked at the gradually whitening world outside the window.

"Impossible. Ferdinand said: "If you want to control Bruno, with his grandfather's power, if you have to investigate it thoroughly, it will be very troublesome."

We have to hide our identity from him, and we have to hide our identity from those who sell their skull time.

He has to hide on both sides, and he has to grab Bruno's money, and he also has the masters sent to him by his grandfather, who knows what other bone gods.

Once we reveal our identity, it's a big problem. ”

"Nope. Fang Xingjian shook his head and suddenly laughed: "Maybe you can really pretend." ”

He turned his head to look at Ferdinand and asked, "That Bruno, has he ever touched the skull of the Knighted Knight?"

"There shouldn't be, there are a total of 5,000 knights in the country, and there are up to 20 accidental deaths, war deaths, and old deaths every year, of which up to 5 are level 25 and above.

Some of them were collected by their own families, some were received by the royal family, but the largest part was received by various state colleges, and almost 80% of the skulls were received by state colleges to train the next generation of knights.

To get their hands on this thing, it's not a matter of money at all, if it weren't for the temptation of the state election this time, the colleges in the Arctic State wouldn't have taken out their skulls.

And with Bruno's swaggering character, if he had used a skull, he would have said it a long time ago. ”

Fang Xingjian nodded: "That's good, since he hasn't used the skull, then there is a way." ”

Ferdinand wondered, "What way?"

Fang Xingjian laughed: "Engage in two auctions." ”

Ferdinand was stunned, but he was very flexible after all, and immediately reacted: "Two?"

Fang Xingjian asked, "Leaving the skull in their own academy instead of handing it over to the state academy is a bit unruly, so their auction has always been carried out in secret, and they have never dared to hype it up." ”

He stood up and walked around from side to side, his brain running at high speed, and his mouth kept muttering.

"If it's a venue, it should be fine. ”

"If you have manpower, you can use my family's dead soldiers. ”

"No, if you can make a fortune by the way, you can also invite a few people to come over. ”

"I don't think I've seen Bruno over there. ”

"There's a play, there's really a play. ”

Ferdinand's eyes became brighter and brighter, but Robert and Anthony on the side looked strange: "What's wrong?"

"Ferdinand, what did you come up with?"

Ferdinand shook his head: "There are a few key pieces of information, I still need to confirm it, if it's okay, two auctions can be done, but there is still the most critical point." ”

He turned his head to look at Fang Xingjian and asked, "Bronno's side, how are you going to deceive him?"

Fang Xingjian said lightly: "In my hometown, there used to be a similar state, and I plan to give it a try." ”

"How do you try?"

Fang Xingjian said: "Give me 500 gold, I'll go to the Yellow Spring Valley in person, and I'll trouble you with other things." ”

Seeing the two of them as if they were playing dumb riddles, Anthony couldn't help it more and more, and asked again, "What is the situation? What is the specific plan?"

Ferdinand smiled, "You'll know tonight." ”

......

On the day of the auction, in front of a building called the Black Hall in Koster.

The two-storey cylindrical building has always been used as the best meeting place because of the vast space inside, and he has rented both floors today.

Because an auction known only to the Koster nobility and the top brass will be held here.

Of course, for Fang Xingjian, it was two auctions.

A group of black-robed men got out of the carriage and walked to the back door of the black hall.

The man in a tuxedo lowered his head and walked over, came to the black-robed man at the head, bowed, and said, "Welcome." ”

The black-robed man at the head said coldly, "What about Bennett?"

"Lord Bennet is entertaining guests in the hall, and I heard that you don't want to reveal your identity, so I arranged for the carriage to be at the back door. ”

The man in the tuxedo looked up, revealing his face, which was none other than Ferdinand.

He smiled and looked at the black-robed man at the head and asked, "Are you still satisfied, my lord?"

The black-robed man at the head was silent for a while, and the suffocating momentum came to his face, and just when Ferdinand's sideburns and forehead continued to sweat, and he felt that he was about to fall to his knees under this pressure, the black-robed man finally spoke.

"Let's go. ”

Ferdinand nodded with an ugly face: "Yes, gentlemen, please come with me." ”

"This time we have invited some of the most powerful buyers in Coster at the moment, and I am sure that today's transaction will not disappoint you.

And it's all according to your orders, it's a secret auction, and no one will reveal their identity. ”

The black-robed man at the head did not speak, Ferdinand turned his head, his eyes flashed with excitement, and led the group of black-robed people towards the first floor of the black hall.

......

On the other side, the main entrance of the Black Hall.

Led by the black-clad waiters, one by one the buyers came to the front door of the Black Hall and were led by them to the second floor of the Black Hall.

Most of these buyers covered their faces with robes so that they would not reveal their identities, partly because of the requirements of the auction, but also because they did not want to reveal their financial resources, let alone their identities if they hit the skull.

However, some of them didn't care, and a man in a golden mask yelled as he walked to the hall on the second floor.

"Haha, everyone, I'm determined to win this time, the skull is really important to me, so please give me a face. ”

In this way, under Ferdinand's special arrangement, the buyers went up to the second floor and the sellers stayed on the first floor, and the two auctions on both floors were about to start at the same time.

......

On the first floor, the black-robed leader had just sat down, then frowned and asked, "Why is it so noisy outside?"

Ferdinand's heart sank: 'What kind of ear does this guy have? This hall is almost completely soundproofed, and he can hear the sound outside. He smiled and disguised: "It's nothing, it's just that one side of the corridor is being repaired today." ”

The black-robed leader ignored Ferdinand, and said to the side, "You go out and have a look." ”

Ferdinand smiled and blocked in front of the other party: "You don't have to be so cautious, today's black hall has been taken over by us, and there will definitely be no problem." ”

The black-robed leader sneered and said, "Go and see." ”

The black-robed men bypassed Ferdinand and walked towards the door of the hall on the first floor. (To be continued.) )
