5. Foothold Chapter 83 The Mastermind Behind the Scenes

Because of the power represented by the young Pastor Martin, all the bidders present did not dare to despise it, and they had scruples in their hearts, so when his bid reached 7,000 gold soles, no one continued to bid, and everyone gave up the competition, anyway, there was still a bottle to be auctioned, and they couldn't offend the Church of the Goddess of Agriculture represented by the Temple of Pong Rock City at this time.

The Church of the Goddess of Agriculture has been stationed in Celt for hundreds of years, although it has kept a low profile and basically will not interfere in the struggle for power in the kingdom, but after all, there is a powerful true god behind it, and the strength of the church is even greater, and it is not something that a few local nobles can bully at will.

Even the Archon of the North County, after thinking left and right, had to choose to back down and fight for the third chance.

Another bottle of moonshine elf wine already has a master, and whoever loses the third bottle of huā will depend on whose money bag is bigger.

In the end, this bottle of moonlight elf wine was still auctioned by Viscount Macbeth at a high price of 8,000 gold soles, which is more than the cash on hand, so it is estimated that no one can compare to Macbeth, who is the lord of the boulder city, and when the auction is in the middle of the auction, the city lord has already sent someone to the city lord's mansion vault to withdraw cash. Even if the others are not inferior to this city lord, they can't catch up if they want to embezzle funds from the outside.

The last lot is sold, and today's auction is over.

The audience began to end below, and the Donald and the others in the VIP room were not interested in looking at it again.

I heard the silver-haired old man say: "Lord Baron, this time the harvest is not small!"

"Where! It's all thanks to you, old man, to earn some pocket money to supplement the family!"

Although Donald said this, just looking at the uncontrollable smile on his face, he knew that he must be in a good mood.

Think about it, but an auction will make him earn no less than 25,000 gold soles, and everyone will be happy.

"Beijun is still a remote and small place, if Lord Baron takes things to the royal capital to auction, the price of that bottle of Moonlight Elf Wine alone will not be less than 10,000 gold soles, speaking of which, Lord Baron, you will suffer!"

Donald understands this. I only heard him reply: "If you get the royal capital to go to auction, you can indeed make more money, but the auction in Boulder City is also a kind of publicity for my territory, which can attract outsiders to come, and the territory can develop better!"

At this time, Barrow's steward, who had received Donald before, came to report.

"The adventurer who took the life potion couldn't get fifteen hundred gold soles, but he planned to use a level 5 magic core instead of paying. Our auction house is not good at acting for the Baron, so may I ask the Baron what you mean?"

"Level 5 Demon Core? I'll take a look for myself!"

Donald said goodbye to his master for the time being, and immediately followed Barrow's steward to the backstage with some interest. Not for a fifth-level magic core, but for the owner of the magic core.

When I got to the backstage, I saw the adventurer with a grim face waiting there with a shì. Seeing that the steward had brought the owner of the auction item over, the shì person breathed a sigh of relief on the spot. Standing with such a silent person, as if he was bubbling with cold air, is still a test of his mental endurance.

"Mr. Odd, this is Baron Donald Melinner, the owner of the two lots you auctioned!"

After listening to the introduction of the steward of Barrow, the adventurer named Odd stiffened his movements and saluted slightly, and spit out a cold sentence without moving.

"Your Excellency!"

The steward of Barrow hurriedly said: "Mr. Odd didn't carry much cash, so he wanted to take a fifth-level magic core as payment, I don't know what you think, Lord Baron?"

"Can I take a look?"

Donald said to the cold-faced man Odd.

Donald didn't pay much attention to the other party's rudeness. Although it is not good to directly probe the strength of the other party with spiritual power, but to be able to make a professional like himself who is already a bronze strength of the French and martial arts dual cultivation can not see the depth, Donald can also guess that the other party is either very good at hiding strength, or it is likely that he has reached the silver stage, and he can face the Lord of a city like Macbeth without the slightest fear, and the possibility of the latter is obviously even more lost.

It is impossible for such a strong man to be nameless, so this silver powerhouse should be from outside the Celt. A silver powerhouse, even if you can't get along, it's better not to offend as much as possible!

Seeing that the other party nodded, Donald picked up the fifth-level magic core and looked at it, then put down the magic core and said to Barrow: "The quality of this magic core is very good, settle it for this gentleman!"

"Yes, Lord Baron!" Barrow immediately replied, ordering the shŬ to take out the two auction items.

The price of fifth-level magic cores is generally more than one thousand gold soles, and it is possible for some rare ones to reach two thousand. This one should be the magic core of the aquatic demonic beast, the quality is acceptable, the water element energy contained in it is very sufficient, the purchase price is estimated to be around 1,400 gold soles, Donald directly counted him as one thousand and five, and those who are insufficient do not care.

The adventurer Odd didn't speak, but after the shì handed over the goods, he only nodded in response. Then he turned and left.

Donald looked at his back and suddenly said, "By the way, I would like to give you an extra word, our city lord is not as generous as ordinary nobles, you have to be careful tonight, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well!"

The adventurer paused at the sound of this, and then left the backstage of the auction house without looking back, except for a whisper that reached Donald's ears.

"Thank you!"

The adventurer only said thank you coldly, and Donald didn't care. Originally, he was just a slight reminder and planned to give away a little favor. Even if he didn't remind him, with the strength of the position, the viscount wanted to do something dirty in secret. It is estimated that it can only end in embarrassment.

Donald was thoughtful as he saw the adventurer leave, and Archsteward Bert himself came to invite him and led Donald to an attic at the back of the auction house.

Looking at the surrounding environment, it is estimated that this former head of intelligence of the Trail Kingdom, the current owner behind the Jinsol Auction House, should live here.

When I arrived at the place, I saw the silver-haired old man sitting leisurely on a rattan chair, with two snacks and hot milk tea in front of him.

"The old gentleman is really enjoying it!" "I'm old, that's all I have left, this is milk tea made with the black tea produced in your manor, how about it taste?"

Hearing this, Donald sat down on another rattan chair and poured himself a cup of milk tea and savored it.

The milk tea with bee mì and sugar water and goat's milk is a little sweet, which is not too much to Donald's taste, but if you drink it once in a while, you won't feel disgusted.

The two of them sat silently in the quiet courtyard with huā open leaves, and neither of them spoke.

It wasn't until a cup of milk tea was drunk that the old man spoke: "I don't know what I proposed, Lord Baron, what do you think about it?"

"It is certainly an honour for me to do something for His Majesty the King. I still know the importance of information, and if you can come up with valuable information, I will give those two bottles of Moonlight Elf Wine to His Majesty, but I don't want to get involved in any fights because of this!"

It's just two bottles of Moonlight Elf Wine, this price is nothing to him, not to mention that the funds from this auction are enough to support the operation of the territory for a year, and he hasn't died to ask for money to that point.

Sometimes it is wiser to take a small step back than to fight everywhere, and you can move forward better in the future.

"Please rest assured that the transaction between you and me will be completely confidential, and no fourth party will know about it except Your Majesty. ”

As he spoke, Ang Ge took out a letter from his bosom, put it on the table, and said, "Take a look! As the first gift of your cooperation, this is the news about the organization that assassinated you not long ago, but the mastermind behind this organization is still your old acquaintance, I think you will be very interested!"

Donald frowned and picked up the letter and unfolded it.

The purpose is the information that the silver-haired old man has collected through his own channels.

After reading a few lines, Donald changed his face and asked, "Is this accurate?"

"Don't doubt my ability, although Macbeth consciously does not leave a trace, he does not know that in my eyes, there are still some flaws. ”

Then Donald nodded, continued to read this intelligence record, and smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth.

Macbeth, this time I must let you plant a big heel and hurt you hard, before I let you know that I will remember the long time, and I dare not provoke me again!"

"What are you going to do?"

Donald replied without hesitation: "What to do?" Naturally, I will do nothing, wait and see what happens, and if I am not absolutely sure of knocking down my opponent, I will not easily strike and leave a disaster! Of course, the necessary preparations are still required, and I can't wait for the opponent to make a move and find that I have no power to fight back. ”

Angwa said appreciatively: "The young man is so calm, and he really deserves to have today's achievements." Okay, old man, I've been seeing that Macbeth guy for a long time, and when you're ready to make a move, I'll help you, old Gvar!"

Donald nodded solemnly and said, "Then thank you sir, it's not too early, and it's time for me to leave!"

"Okay! I'll let Bert take responsibility for you on my behalf、,

With the proceeds of the auction, Donald left the Kinsol auction house and first went to the mage's clubhouse to ask his teacher about alchemy and mage promotion.

The last time he was stabbed by the black-robed mage's spiritual oppression and mysterious and powerful will, Donald felt that his spiritual power had reached the standard, and he could already advance to the bronze rank. However, in terms of the mage profession, he is only a novice after all, so he still has to ask the teacher for advice.

In this regard, Messer sighed and said: "Your talent is really extraordinary, and it has exceeded my expectations. In the future, I will definitely be able to become the first Golden Archmage in Beijun, as a teacher, there is not much I can help you, I can only teach you some experience as much as possible, so that you can avoid some detours!"

"Don't say that, teacher, your teaching is the greatest help to me! Without your guidance, I would not have been able to go so far on the path of a mage!"

"Okay, I don't need to say more, now I'll tell you what you need to pay attention to when you advance to a bronze mage. The bronze rank is a threshold for any professional, in the Middle Ages, only entering the bronze rank was considered a beginner in cultivation, as for the so-called black iron rank, it was just a toddler. "Reaching the bronze rank, warrior class nine such as swordsman and knight began to comprehend the use of qi.

The so-called qi is actually the energy in our body. The ancient arcanists believed that everything in the world was made up of matter and energy, and that the two could be transformed into each other, such as when wood was ignited, it would burn into flames. This is the simplest example of the wood of the substance being converted into the energy of the fire element. ”

Hearing this, Donald immediately understood, isn't this the physical chemistry knowledge learned in the textbooks of his previous life?

It seems that in any world, some basic rules are similar.

Then Messer continued: "Understand this, you will go further than those ignorant mages in terms of the principles of alchemy and comprehending some spell compositions!" @.
