Chapter 45: The Moonlit Night Alley

The farce, which lasted until late at night, ended with Bishop's fainting.

According to the diagnosis of the doctor who arrived in a hurry, it appeared to be a cerebral hemorrhage. Although the medicine was taken in time, it is estimated that in the future, it will only be able to lie in bed. This kind of disease, even magicians can't help it.

Of course, falling ill and falling into a coma does not mean that the gambling contract he promised before is invalid. There are testimonies from Auston and Aristotle, and the money will be transferred directly from Bishop's account to Roy. If the money in the account is not enough, his family property will naturally be disposed of on his behalf.

As for Shi Stone, under the escort of the guards, he returned to the imperial capital that night.

As the highest-ranking Chamber of Commerce elder in the crowd after Bishop fell into a coma, Auston didn't give Stone any politeness.

Throwing him back is just a matter of course, not punishment. The real punishment will be decided after the general meeting has discussed. But now it is certain that in this life, he will not want to sit in the position of the head of the auction house.

As for Tracy, after the night had passed, no one questioned the young lady's vision and abilities.

It is precisely because of her excellence that the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce has achieved a successful result in the task entrusted by Aristotle. Not only was it praised by the god Aristotle, but it also did not give any chance to the Hall of Tasks and the Hall of Divine Craftsmen.

In the eyes of the people, Bishop was seriously ill and it was only a matter of time before he stepped down as an elder. Even if he kept the position nominally for the time being, he could no longer have any influence on Tracy.

With such outstanding vision, ability, and merit, coupled with the support of Elder Auston, Tracy's promotion to the elder of the auction head line is a certainty.

Not to mention. On this night, the mysterious lone wolf demon master announced in public that all his cooperation with the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce would be through Guò Tracy. If she leaves, then, in the future all his works. None of them have anything to do with the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce.

This time, people still don't know the value of this young man? Such a person can be more useful than Tracy working hard for ten years. Even if it's just to entrap him alone, Tracy has settled on the position of the head office elder.

As for the lone wolf, Elder Auston immediately stated that if he needed anything in the future, the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce would spare no effort.

The deacons present were secretly admiring. From this point, it can be seen that Elder Auston is old and spicy.

To know. The relationship between the lone wolf and the mission hall is well known. If it weren't for Tracy's chance, who recognized him when the lone wolf appeared last time, I'm afraid there wouldn't be this qiē today. Therefore, on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, it is to add an insurance to this relationship.

An unconditional precursor is always better than a conditional exchange. It's easier to get friendship from each other. And after tonight, the friendship of the lone wolf. will be priceless. This is also a great benefit to Auston's position in the Chamber of Commerce Elders' House.

And the lone wolf, too, got the friendship of Aristotle.

After the final battle, the magical legacy was nearly severed. In the past three hundred years, those who have been able to achieve the Fa God have all been amazing and brilliant. their power. It has gone beyond the cognitive scope of ordinary people. And in any other realm than magic, they have endless energy.

Those things that are as difficult as the sky for ordinary people are in them. But it's just an understatement.

Whether it is a prince or a pawn, they will be honored to serve them.

Therefore, Aristotle's friendship is far from being measurable by money.

At the time of separation, Aristotle gave Roy a clumsy black iron ring. As long as it was in the Saint Soran Empire, anywhere, as long as Roy activated the ring with magic power, Aristotle could sense it. And to come as fast as possible.

And no matter who the opponent is, Aristotle, will shoot for Roy three times!

How precious is the promise of a Dharma god. One shot is already a great luck, let alone three times. Looking at the ring on Roy's hand, even Auston and Tracy couldn't help but be jealous.

......

The night was dark, and a magic moon hung in the sky, quiet and bright.

Roy and Tracy, strolling through the garden in the backyard of the auction house. Alston, Rook and Li Fanxi followed side by side.

Bellflowers in the wind, with a crisp sound, walked through the Rose Arch and down the cobblestone winding path as Roy and Tracy walked up a small grassy slope. As far as the eye could see, the city of Muni had fallen asleep. Even the noisy bars have closed one after another, and the wall lamps in front of the signboards have been extinguished.

'Thanks,' Tracy paused, turning to look at Roy, "If you hadn't arrived in time today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to stand it a long time ago." ‘

'You're so polite. Roy said, "It is not a gentleman's act to live up to the trust of a beautiful young lady." ‘

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Tracy looked at Roy's mask and said, "Can't I see your face right now?"

Absolutely. Roy smiled, took off his mask, and removed his wig.

It was a clean and youthful face, with a pair of blue eyes and a clear smile, with a bit of customary confusion, giving people a harmless appearance, making it easy to get close to him.

Seeing Roy's true face, Tracy was stunned and seemed to feel a little familiar. And just as she was meditating, Luke, who was walking behind the two, suddenly stared at him, and his heart was shocked!

'I remember!...... Roy' Tracy's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands, and said in surprise, 'Your name is Roy, and you're a student of the first training camp!'

Because of sensational rumors such as the Battle of Edin City, the beating of Scarlett and Kevin's challenge, many people have heard of Roy's name, but not many people have actually seen him.

Tracy recognized Roy at a glance because she was one of the witnesses to his battle with Scarlett at the Grand Duke Adolf's ball more than a month ago.

As the elder of the Lulian branch of the Golden Skull auction house and the chief deacon of the auction house, it was not difficult for Tracy to get an invitation. It's just that she was wearing an elegant and luxurious dark blue silk skirt at the time, and she never dreamed that she would be in the center of Lulian's top aristocratic crowd. That fierce boy who attacked one punch after another turned out to be a lone wolf!

Tracy covered her mouth in shock.

Although she didn't care about such rumors, she had heard many things about the teenager. But whether it is his relationship with Princess Elethea, or his conflict with the Lanris family, or even his exploits in the battle of Medin City. For her, like most people, she has heard it and heard it, and she doesn't take it seriously in her heart!

After all, these are just rumors about someone who has nothing to do with them. And most of the rumors in this category are not very reliable. Like the heroic legends sung by bards, at most they can deceive children with knightly dreams, and for people like her, it is just an after-dinner pastime.

However, when the face in front of me. When it coincided with the rumors she had heard, and the name lone wolf, she had to be shocked.

Tracy wasn't the most shocked, though. What neither she nor Roy saw was that when he heard the name "Roy", Old Rook stared at Roy's eyes tightly, and suddenly there was a bright light, and an abnormal blood color appeared on his face.

"It's him!" he muttered. "It's him, it's him!"

"Mr. Rooke. "Li Fanxi noticed that something was wrong with Luke. Nervously, he said, "Are you okay? Are you sick? Do you want me to call someone?"

As an ordinary person who had never cultivated Douqi, Li Fanxi was dozens of meters away from Tracy and Roy, and he didn't know what the two said, and even because of the night, when Roy took off his mask. He didn't see it clearly, either.

Therefore, he does not associate Rooke's change with Roy.

"No, no, I'm fine......" Rook shook his head, a little incoherent and emotional, "I'm fine." Very good, never so good!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Roy deeply and said to Li Fanxi, "Let's go, don't affect the two of them." ”

"Affect their ......" Li Fanxi looked at Tracy and then at Roy, and was taken away by Rukla with a strange expression.

Tracy, on the other hand, was still immersed in surprise.

"It's you!" she burst into laughter, "No wonder you cheated Scarlett so much money the first time you came to the auction house." It turned out ......"

Speaking of the past, Roy laughed too.

"So, in addition to being proficient in magic patterns, you're also an alchemist?" Tracy's eyes lit up and she said curiously.

"A little," Roy said, "but I don't really have much research on alchemy. I just happened to get some recipes that others didn't know. ”

"It's just ......," Tracy smiled dumbly, "Do you know how much the prescription for the bottle of Spirit Power Pill you auctioned last time was worth?"

"Ten spiritual power pills, just one million Jin Lulang," Roy said with a grin, "That prescription must be very expensive!"

Tracy covered her mouth and smiled.

Until now, she still remembered that Scarlett spent a whole million to snatch the spiritual power pill from the mysterious young man wearing a mask triumphantly, but finally found herself in the angry appearance at that time, if she knew that this masked boy was Roy, she didn't know what she would be ashamed of!

Poor county lord.

She is tall in the dragon blood and phoenix marrow, she is high on weekdays, surrounded by people, complimented, flattered, what she wants, what she wants to do, nothing is impossible. But she was afraid that she never dreamed that she would plant such a big heel in the hands of a small handyman.

"By the way, when it comes to elixirs, I have a request," Tracy said, "You know, the situation in Lulian has been very unstable in recent times, and many people have been selling their property and fleeing to the north for refuge. The business of the auction house has also plummeted......"

Briefly talking about the auction house's long-standing problems in recent times, Tracy said, "...... Several auctions, whether it is antiques, real estate, fields, pastures, or luxury goods, works of art, have been unwanted, only elixir and magic pattern products, the demand is far more vigorous than before, almost as soon as it is taken out, it can be auctioned at a much higher price than usual. ”

"Oh?" Roy's eyes lit up as soon as he heard that the price was much higher than usual.

This is not surprising. In today's world, real estate, land, antique jewelry, are all things outside the body. Neither can it be eaten, nor can it be saved. If you want to survive, you must improve your strength. Therefore. Not to mention the auction house, even those shops in the city, the pills, weapons and equipment, and all kinds of magic cores and medicinal materials in the market, all of which have risen in price.

"So. I'd like to order you a hundred Spirit Pills like last time, and ten six- to seven-star weapons," Tracy said with a smile, "I have this batch as the finale of my next auction." I think the auction house will do a lot better.

And you, as the most trusted collaborator, can provide you with enough materials first. Wait until the auction is over, and we will settle the bill at the best price. The amount is deducted from the total auction price. All you need to do is refine. ”

Now the bandit army is short of money, and Tracy has offered such generous terms. Roy simply couldn't refuse.

Looking into Tracy's expectant eyes, Roy reached out and shook her hand. Smiled: "I have only one request...... Can you exchange the money for what I need?"

.........

After the two negotiated, Tracy quickly had all the materials sent over.

Sweeping everything into the Spatial Ring, Roy said goodbye to Tracy, activated the Firewings, and turned into a meteor. Fly in the direction where the military camp in the south of the city is located.

At this moment, Muni City, although it looks quite calm on the outside. But in fact, the defense is extremely tight. Not only are there open posts and secret posts in each area, but also the four city walls and the eight-sided guard tower, as well as the Grand Duke's Castle in the city, the three major training camp castles, and the central bell tower. Both activated the Magic Defense Array.

In addition, there are always several griffin knights patrolling the sky at all times, and there are also magicians watching on the towers in the city. If you're not careful, Roy could be attacked as an intruder.

After leaving the auction house, Roy carefully lowered his figure, preparing to hide his tracks through the undulating buildings in the streets and alleys.

However, less than a hundred meters out of the auction house, suddenly, a powerful force in the void, like an invisible mountain, slammed down.

Roy was horrified. The demon core in the body was running at full strength, and the two battle rings suddenly exploded, trying to resist this majestic force. However, all the resistance had no effect. In an instant, he was like a sparrow that flew into a hurricane, and he fell to the ground.

Bang! Roy landed in the middle of a silent alley. When he was about to hit the ground, the whole person was supported by the huge force and put down steadily, and he was not injured.

He looked around in horror. The place where I was in an alley not far from the auction house. On both sides of the stone-paved road are low-rise buildings. The clock tower can be seen at the end of the road. A frightened wild cat sprang up from the side of the street, jumped up the fence in two strikes, climbed over the roof of the attic, and disappeared.

"Who is it?" roy snorted.

The sword spirit and the axe spirit have appeared beside Roy. At the slightest thought of him, they will immediately take over his body to deal with dangers that he can't handle. At the same time, Roy also pulled out the ruling from the spatial ring and quickly released a magic shield.

However, the biggest killer feature was the eleventh-level magic scroll he held in the palm of his left hand. It was one of the only two eleventh level magic scrolls Williams had given him, and it was also the strongest power he had at the moment.

Although there were still five tenth-level magic scrolls and several ninth-level magic scrolls, the terrifying power just now made Roy understand that he was facing the most powerful and terrifying opponent he had ever encountered in his life.

In the presence of the other party, he is like a lamb in front of a lion. He didn't even hope that the eleventh level magic scroll in his hand could cause any damage to the other party, he just hoped that it would give him a chance to escape.

Roy's voice echoed through the empty alley.

A figure appeared around the corner.

"Master Rook!" Roy looked at Rook's face in surprise in the dim light of the streetlamp. As he walked step by step, his pale hair and the wrinkles on his face became clearer and clearer. Those somewhat cloudy eyes, looking at themselves at the moment, were so bright.

Roy was surprised. He couldn't understand why Rook would avoid Tracy and meet him alone in such a way.

However, when he found out that it was Rook, Roy's heart was relieved. Although the contact time has not been long, I don't know why, he has an inexplicable sense of trust and affection for this old man, and he can't be wary of it at all.

And the fact that he was able to land safely just now also proves this. With Rook's strength, if he wanted to kill him in mid-air, he didn't even have the slightest chance.

"Young Master Roy......" Rook walked up to Roy. Staring at him, he said slowly, "I have a very presumptuous request, I don't know if you can agree." ”

"I promise!" Roy didn't even ask, and said directly. I muttered in my heart: "Fuck, I was caught directly from the air by a scary guy like you." Do I have a choice, sir?"

"I want to see your eyes......" Luke's gaze exuded a kind of heat, like a soldering iron in a furnace.

Roy was stunned for a moment, and then his heart became vigilant.

"Why?"

He took a step back.

If Rook needed his help, whether it was a magic pattern, a potion refinery, or something else, he wouldn't be surprised. But this request completely exceeded his expectations.

For ordinary people. It may not be much to make people look at their eyes. But for Roy, his eyes are a collection of all his secrets.

Back then, William was able to take him to escape the capture of the Holy Sect, and most of the reason was due to his current blue eyes. Few people know that he was born with double eyes. No one even knew that after being hit by the poisonous dragon's saliva and losing his fighting talent, his eyes. It has changed from the black of the father to the blue of the mother's possession.

This is his biggest secret. And behind this secret. It was an unsolved case more than ten years ago, a blood feud!

Especially after recovering his fighting spirit in a desperate situation and stepping back into the human world, he has always been very careful.

With the recovery of the Dou Qi talent, the poisonous dragon's saliva destroyed the recovery of the meridians, his eyes. It's also quietly changing. On weekdays, my eyes are still blue. But once he concentrates his mental energy on his eyes, and when his eyes open and close, he can reveal black pupils. It's just that the current black pupils. The recovery is not obvious. You have to look carefully to see a dark shadow next to the blue pupils.

He kept this secret very tightly.

He knew that maybe the identity of Baron Borabel's little handyman was exposed, and the trouble caused by becoming Eretia's guardian knight was nothing.

Step by step, with the change of their identity and the attention caused by the whole incident, even if the Lanris family wants to deal with themselves, they must follow the rules of the game of the nobility. One of their own cheap lives is not worth their self-surrender and loss of face.

This is the Saint-Solan Empire, and their purpose is to replace the Solan royal family and become the ruler of this land. Therefore, what they need is to use different means of soft and hard to make the nobles submit and cooperate, instead of breaking the rules of the game and triggering their confrontation and hostility.

But once his true identity is revealed, then Lanrith will definitely not deal with himself like before. They will tear off their masks and hunt them down with every means they can.

His opponent will not only be the Lanris family, nor just a small second-level butler and an ordinary student of the Holy Sect Martial Hall, but the Knight of Glory, the Knight of Great Light, and even the God of Law and the Holy Knight!

It's like on the banks of the Frost River fourteen years ago. Even my mother can't escape the big black hand behind the scenes, how can I escape?

Therefore, when he found out that Master Rook stopped him halfway, just to look into his eyes, Roy's heart suddenly lifted.

"Why did he suddenly make such a strange request?"

"Does he know who he is?"

"Who is he?"

Looking at the oncoming Rook, Roy took a step back, and all kinds of thoughts came to him for a while.

Faced with Roy's question, Rook said calmly: "I just want to make sure that you are not the person I am looking for." ”

"Don't be afraid," Master Rook paused ten meters away from Roy and said calmly, "I don't have any ill intentions. ”

Not afraid?

Roy wanted to scold.

Fuck, you old pervert avoided others and stopped me in this dark alley late at night just to see the window of the old man's mind...... Can the lord not be afraid?

"Who are you?" Roy asked, his eyes rolling in his bones.

"My name and identity are as you know," said Master Rook, "but if you are to ask about my relationship with you, then I must look you in the eye before I can tell you ......."

As he spoke, Rook suddenly grabbed his backhand.

Poof!

A dark green vine that wrapped around him like a python had just emerged from the void and was grabbed by him.

Roy, who silently tried to sneak attack first with the eighth-level Great Restraint Technique, almost fell off his eyeballs.

He opened his mouth wide and watched blankly as Master Rook's five fingers closed, watching the green vines full of majestic magic and heaven and earth energy rush left and right in his hands, but he struggled to get out, and finally only turned into green filaments of light and dissipated.

Roy's sneak attack only smiled slightly, thoughtfully turned his gaze to his hand, and said, "This kind of sneak attack is useless to me. Why don't you try it with the scroll in your hand, if I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be a level eleven magic ......."

Roy has been completely stupid.

Even the sword spirit and the axe spirit were silent.

"Alright!" Roy resigned. Like a fish falling into the paws of a bear, he widened his eyes and glared at Rook, "Although your request is very strange, who told me that I can't beat you." If you want to see it, you can watch it, first say okay, just watch, don't move........."

Rook walked over and looked Roy in the eye.

Roy told himself to calm down. The black pupils are not obvious, and they are usually very hidden. As long as you don't want to, no one can see the flaw.

Sure enough, Master Rook looked at it for a while, and there was a look of disappointment on his face.

"What?" Roy smirked, "I can ask you what ...... is"

Before he finished speaking, suddenly, Rook's hand shook violently in front of him, and at the same time that Roy subconsciously dodged and closed his eyes, two thin and dry fingers had already touched his eyelids, and gently rubbed and pressed them......

"What are you doing?!" Roy rubbed his eyes and glared at Rook, "It's not that you can't ...... it."

Before Roy could finish his words, he sensed that something was wrong, and his face changed suddenly.

Under the light, his eyes had turned into double pupils. One black and one blue, like two magic moons that coincide together, are extremely strange.

The air froze all at once.

After a long time, Luke said: "Sure enough, it's you!"

There was a hint of trembling in his voice, as if he was controlling his feelings with great strength. The old face and the cloudy eyes revealed all kinds of complicated expressions such as doting, guilt, and gratification.

In front of Roy, who was tense and his hair stood on end, the old man knelt on one leg and said slowly.

"Now, I can sue you. ”

His pale hair fluttered messily in the night wind, and his rickety back was as straight as a steel spear. A fierce and majestic breath, like a sword, finally left the loft full of miscellaneous things and the dust of a long time, and the edge was revealed!

Roy looked at him in a daze, listening to his voice, echoing in his ears.

For a moment, it was like a dream.

"My identity is the commander of the third longest knight brigade of the Knights of Farrington. He is also the sword-wielding attendant of your grandfather, the Grand Duke of Roland, and your loyal servant......"

"Thirteen years ago, I was ordered to come to Lulian to find your whereabouts, until today!"

The moonlit night is cold, and the alleys are deep and secluded.

The old man raised his head, and he was already in tears...... (To be continued......)
