Chapter 179
After becoming the captain of the Third Wizarding Guard, Leo realized that this was a good position.
This is a position that can only be held by members of the Clement family, because of the rigid requirements for blood and strength, this position has been vacant for a long time.
Some people have bloodline but no strength, or those who have strength have better positions.
In the end, Leo was cheaper, and he usually didn't have to do anything to receive a lot of family contributions, and Leo guessed that this should be the family's welfare for outstanding members.
In fact, he guessed correctly, in order to let the masters in the family have more energy to cultivate, the old grandmother deliberately adjusted many positions, the more masters enjoy the more resources, and they are particularly idle.
Ten full years have passed, and Leo has only gone out to settle a few disputes, but he has spent most of his time cultivating.
Just today, Leo opened his eyes suddenly, his face a little pale.
As a result of observing the Godhead, his spiritual power was almost exhausted.
But just now, Leo had some understanding, through constant observation, not only did his strength soar, but he even made a lot of improvements to his bloodline witchcraft, creating his own unique witchcraft, and he felt that he would gain something again soon.
He glanced at his spiritual power, the upper limit had reached 489, and it was estimated that it would not take long to liquefy.
The family's liquefied witch circle can also be used for free, which makes him think that having a family is actually quite good.
Leaving the room, he went to the hall outside.
It's a somewhat eerie castle that serves as the headquarters of the Patrol Guard in the family.
But the dΓ©cor is extravagant, full of ancient wizarding family style.
Leo sat down in a chair and said, "Nothing has happened lately. β
"In the past three days, there have been two incidents of wizards hurting people in various territories, and Deputy Captain Benson has sent someone to deal with them. β
A mechanical voice sounded in the hall, it was the spirit of the entire castle.
Benson, on the other hand, is the vice-captain of the Wizard Guard, he is a liquefied wizard and is extremely powerful, but he has to be relegated to the position of vice-captain because he has no family bloodline.
Having been operating in the Wizarding Guard for decades, his power is deeply entrenched, and he is extremely hostile to Leo's arrival, so his relationship with Leo has always been bad.
"Really?"
Leo smiled faintly.
"There's another very important thing, Captain Lauris asks you to get ready. In a month's time, there is a very important task that requires your cooperation. β
The Array Spirit continued.
"What task is so important?"
Leo couldn't help frowning.
She didn't say this, she just said that it was the highest level mission. β
The Array Spirit said.
Leo's pupils shrank sharply, it turned out to be the highest-level task, this is generally a task related to the life and death of the family, what kind of task is so important.
"I see. β
Leo said that he had decided to go find Laures.
"You mean next month's mission?"
Claureth said.
"That's right, what exactly is the task that is so important. β
Leo said.
"Anyway, a lot of people already know about it, so it doesn't hurt to tell you. β
"Do you know about the Dulles family's auction?"
"Yes. β
Leo said.
The Dulles family is a family of Morningstars not far from the Sage's Tower, and has always made a living by dealing in demonic items.
The family is famous for its auctions, where very valuable items are often sold.
"The Dulles family sent an invitation saying that the next auction will have eaux-de-vie. β
Claureth sighed.
"It turned out to be the water of life. β
Leo couldn't help but be taken aback.
The eaux-de-vie are not items from the wizarding world, but from another world.
It is an item that replenishes life energy, energy prolongs the life of human beings, and it is this kind of life-extending item that the old grandmother needs the most.
"We want to get it. β
Claures said in a firm tone.
Leo understood the determination of the Clement family, and if anyone dared to prevent them from obtaining the water of life, they would surely become their enemies.
It's just that some people who are hostile to the Clement family may not let go of this opportunity, they will definitely not let the old grandmother get the water of life for a few moments, and I am afraid that there will inevitably be a battle.
"I understand. β
Leo said.
Half a month later, the Clement family mobilized the strong strength of three third-level wizards and more than thirty second-level wizards to set off for the Dulles family.
Half of the wizards belonged to the family, the rest were sent from the Sage Tower, and the old grandmother still had some power as the Grand Elder of the Sage Tower.
After a 10-day flight in an airship, they finally reached the city of Dulles, a city named after the Dulles family.
The whole city is magnificent, and the wizard towers are lined with them.
Judging from the airship, there were more than two hundred third-level wizards and several fourth-level wizards in the entire city, which made Leo jump.
I didn't expect so many people to come to the auction, and it seems that the fame of the Dulles family is really great.
They landed at an airship docking point outside the city, and then entered the city under the leadership of Laures.
They were all familiar with this place, and walked directly to a manor, where the Clement family had their property.
More than a dozen wizards had been waiting for them in front of the manor, the leader of which was a second-level wizard.
He was fair-skinned, thin, and extremely capable.
The wizards behind are extremely strong, all of them are second-level wizards, but their strength is weaker than the wizard at the head.
Leo had a very good memory, and he remembered that he had seen these people in his family's clan, they belonged to the Intelligence Group, and this time they should have been specially dispatched.
The second-level wizard said respectfully, "Captain Laures. β
Flowers nodded, and then walked into the manor first.
Seeing this, those wizards hurriedly followed.
After entering the manor, naturally someone came to receive them.
The second-level wizards were settled by the servants of the manor, and Claudes led them into a hall.
Laures sat first, and the others found a place to sit down.
The members of BFIPU were not seated and were still standing aside.
"How's the information gathered about this auction?"
Claureth said.
The second-level wizard at the head hurriedly reported and told all the news they had inquired about.
Due to the appearance of the eaux-de-vie, this auction was unprecedentedly popular.
Almost all the Morning Star forces that can come are here, and in addition to that, there are a large number of low-level forces.
After all, this is a good thing that can prolong life, not to mention the Morning Star Wizard, even the Radiant Moon and the Dawn Wizard will be greedy.
Hearing this, Claures couldn't help but become worried.
The water of life is something they will want, and with so many competitors, can they still get it?
Moreover, many of them are extremely hostile to them, and they are afraid that they will be indispensable for sniping their bidding operations, and this mission will definitely be very troublesome.
"And, there's news circulating in the city. Several families who do not have a good relationship with us have joined forces, and they will not let the water of life fall into our hands no matter what. β
The second-level wizard said.
Hearing this, Laureth's face couldn't help but change greatly.
"Are you telling the truth, and how did you get the news?"
"The news has spread widely, and you only need to inquire a little to know it. β
The wizard said.
"What a bunch of bastards!"
Claures couldn't help but scold.
Originally, she still had a trace of thoughts about the water of life, but now I am afraid that there is no chance of even a point.
But she is a little unwilling, things have to be tried.
Only Leo had a different color, just now he used the Eye of Hades to discover that there were a large number of third-level wizards gathered around the wizards who had been hunted down by the Marz family, and their purpose was probably not as simple as preventing them from obtaining the water of life.
"Don't go out these days, so as not to cause trouble for the family, just rest in the manor. β
Claureth said.
Everyone hurriedly said yes, and they were no longer surprised by this situation.
If they go out, they will definitely be provoked by those guys, and how can they be the enemy and opponent of the crowd.
Only Leo had a solemn face, was Clement's family already so bad.
didn't even dare to go out, maybe the enemy had figured out the reality of the Clement family and began to press forward step by step.
Thinking of those wizards in the city, how many of them are specifically waiting for the old grandmother.
A few days later, the auction began, and Claures walked to the auction hall early with Leo and Johnson.
After arriving at the auction house, a large number of wizards had gathered here.
The vast majority of them are second-level wizards and third-level wizards, and first-level wizards are only a minority.
Under the command of the Dulles family guards, they entered the auction hall in an orderly manner.
Seeing Laures and the others arrive, one of the middle-aged wizards in their thirties lit up.
"It's Captain Laures, please. β
"Adrian, it's been a long time, I didn't expect you to become a third-level wizard. β
Claudes said with a smile.
"I've been out on an adventure lately. β
The wizard said with a smile.
The two chatted quietly, and it was clear that the two had known each other before.
Claures led Leo and Johnson to the auction hall from another empty passageway, and their actions caused a lot of dissatisfaction.
"Who are they? Why did they go through that passage? β
"That's right, why do we have to queue up. β
β......β
Hearing this, someone said disdainfully.
"What a bunch of unseen turtles, those are the Morning Star forces, if you know a Morning Star, you can walk through that passage. β
Hearing this, those who were dissatisfied immediately shut their mouths.
Every Morningstar Force rules a huge territory and is a well-deserved overlord in the vicinity, and there is absolutely no wizard who wants to offend a Morningstar Force for no reason.
Leo just gave them a faint look and walked in.
Adrian led them into a box and walked out, obviously knowing that the Clements were in serious trouble and unwilling to participate in the troubled waters.
Leo looked at the box, which was located on the second floor, facing the auction table, and had a very good view.
Below is a large hall where a large number of wizards are seated.
Since the auction has not yet begun, the sound below is very noisy.
The atmosphere in the box was dull, and Laures's face was very bad, which made Leo and Johnson a little afraid to speak.
From time to time, there are voices in the corridors, entering the boxes.
A somewhat somber voice came from outside, and Laureth's eyes widened, then she opened the door to the box and walked outside.
Leo and Johnson glanced at each other and hurriedly followed.
"Marcy, I don't know if we can borrow a step to speak. β
Out of the box, Leo found Adrian walking towards him with a few third-level wizards.
Lauris said to a middle-aged wizard with triangular eyes, a hooked nose, and a somewhat thin look.
The wizard was a little surprised by Laures's presence, and then a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"Of course, how could I refuse the invitation of the Clement family. β
Ignoring his taunts, Laurese invites him to her box.
Leo gave him a deep look, and if he was not mistaken, he should have been from the Palmer family.
The Palmers and the Clements have an irresolvable hatred because the old grandmother killed the wife of the current patriarch of the Palmer family when she was young, and because his wife called her ugly.
In fact, the old grandmother used to be very beautiful, and the old grandmother's room hung a picture of her when she was young.
However, due to an exploration of the astral plane, she was polluted, and it turned out to be what she is now.
This directly led to a drastic change in her temperament, but the wife of the patriarch of the Palmer family bumped into the muzzle of the gun.
At that time, the Clement family was extremely strong, and the old grandmother killed her in a fit of rage.
The Palmer family is not very powerful, so they can only swallow their anger.
Now that the Clement family is strong and middle-handed, of course, it is not taken seriously by the Palmer family.
The Eye of Hades opened and then quickly closed, and Leo swept lightly over one of them.
That man turned out to be the one who had the O'Connor family kill Ophelia's parents.
The wizard looked at him with a blank expression, as if he had never seen him before.
After entering the box, Marcy sat down with a faint sneer on his face, and the other wizards stood behind him.
Claudes was silent for a while, then said, "Marcy, I don't like to talk around the bush, can you give up the water of life this time." β
Hearing her words, Marcy laughed: "Are you begging me?"
"That's right, I'm begging you. β
To Leo's shock, Claures admitted it directly.
Is this still the Claures he knows?
The cheerful, domineering, vengeful man?
"Captain. β
Johnson said dissatisfied.
Claureth glared at him fiercely, and Johnson could only keep his mouth shut.
"I really didn't expect you, Captain Laureth, to have today. β
Marcy smirked.
Seeing his villain's triumphant appearance, Leo couldn't wait to punch him.
"It's a pity that it can't, as you know, our patriarch is more than two thousand years old, and it is very urgent to extend his life with the water of life. β
Marcy said with a look of regret.
"He's only over 2,000 years old, and there will be opportunities in the future. β
Claureth said.
"I'm humble, it's not going to work. If you know today, why bother in the first place. How arrogant and domineering your Clement family was back then, I didn't expect it to be today. β
Marcy laughed wildly.
"Are you going to be mortal enemies of our Clement family?"
Claudes threatened.
"Aren't we?"
Marcy spread his hands and said in dismay.
Claudes gave him a deep look, "In that case, we don't have anything to talk about, let's see the real thing at the auction." β
"I assure you that the water of life will not fall into your hands under any circumstances. β
Marcy sneered, and left the place.
"That damn bastard. β
Johnson scolded.
"Forget it, I'll settle this matter with them later. β
Laures's face was covered with frost.
Suddenly, Leo felt a heavy pressure.
Is that......
Leo looked outside the box and saw a Morning Star wizard leading into a box with the Dulles family guards.
"Everyone, pay attention, the Morning Star Wizard is here. β
Claureth said.
Leo and Johnson both nodded, and the atmosphere in the box immediately became solemn.
Soon the auction began, and the Dulles family's auction was truly extraordinary.
There were many things that Leo had never seen before, and he was thrilled.
But he knew that he was here to carry out a mission this time, so he could only suppress these thoughts.
It didn't take long for the water of life to finally appear.
When the water of life appeared, it immediately detonated the audience.
"It's a shame that it's a treasure that can prolong life, it's something I can't afford to enjoy. β
"I heard that the Palmer family has already released a word that they must be determined to get the water of life, and whoever wants to grab the water of life is against them. β
"They were going against the Clements, who knew that the Clements' grandmother was coming to an end. β
β......β
The people below talked about it, and it was obvious that the relationship between the two families was not harmonious, and it was a well-known thing.
"50 million magic stones. β
Claureth said.
Hearing this, the wizards below all gasped.
"It's really worthy of the Morning Star family, and it is 50 million magic stones as soon as it is shot. β
"It's a pity that with the Palmer family, it's impossible to get this money. β
β......β
Listening to everyone's discussions, Marcy's face showed a smile.
"60,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 β
"7,000,000,000,000,000,000,00 β
Crowley didn't hesitate to increase the price.
"80 million. β
"One hundred million. β
Hearing that the price of the water of life had risen rapidly to 100 million, the wizards below were stunned.
Only the wizard of the Dulles family smiled happily, let's compete, the higher the price, the better.
"110 million magic stones, I want this thing Wells. β
At this time, an eerie tone appeared on the auction floor.
"Wells, it's him?"
Laureth's face couldn't help but change slightly.
"Who is Wells?"
Leo asked.
"A lone Morning Star wizard who has refused all forces. has a perverse personality and kills people at every turn, and generally no Morning Star forces are willing to provoke. β
Claures said with her mental power.
The average Morning Star wizard has his own territory, because after becoming the Morning Star, the resources needed to go further are extremely huge, which is to need a force to find resources for him.
Wells is an anomaly, this kind of person is a loner, there is nothing to worry about, once he gives up his skin to do damage, no Morningstar force can afford it.
Leo nodded thoughtfully, he had seen him with another Morning Star wizard when he came.
Wells' bid caught the Dulles family a little off guard, and they didn't expect Wells to intervene in the fight for the water of life.
The auctioneer said with some embarrassment: "Lord Wells is bidding 110 million, and is there anyone else who is bidding higher?" β
Claures and Palmer rise up, both determined to get the eaux-de-vie.
But they didn't want to offend Wells too much, so they all waited for the other party to bid first.
Only Leo had a calm face, he knew that someone would definitely make a move.
"One hundred and ten million times. β
The auctioneer said.
There was silence on the field, and the faces of the Dulles family were ugly.
"One hundred and ten million twice. β
"I'll give 130 million. β
At this time, a cold voice came from a box.
"That's ...... Three Elders. β
Surprise appeared on Claures' face.
She guessed that for such an important matter, the old grandmother would not only send them here, but she didn't expect the three elders of the Sage Tower to follow.
"Wells, you must know how important the water of life is to the Great Elder of our Sage Tower, so you can only offend. Laures, you just have to bid. β
The Third Elder Loxani said.
"Thank you, Third Elder. β
Claures said hurriedly.
"The Sage Tower is so majestic, I have written it down. β
Wells said gloomily.
Loxani also had a headache on her face, but it was only for the sake of the Great Elder.
"Now that the Sage's Tower has made a bid, then we in the Palmer family are not welcome. I'll give 140 million. β
An old voice came from a box.
"Ted, are you determined to be the enemy of our Sage Tower?"
Loxani said coldly.
"How so? I'm just interested in the water of life. β
The old voice said, "You know I'm over two thousand years old, and I just want to live a little longer. β
Loxani snorted, she knew it would be futile to argue, so she had no intention of entanglement with him.
The next thing to look at is the Clement family.
"I gave 145 million magic stones. β
Claureth said.
"Is there no money here?"
Marcy scoffed, "One hundred and sixty million." β
