Chapter 9: The Princess of the Western Kingdom

The auction at Sorbis was as relaxed as an aperitif, with most of the people who came to the auction familiar, drinking wines from the Southern Territory of Nasser, smoking dwarven favorite windhammer cigars, and elegantly holding up signs while listening to classical music played by elven harpists. If you unfortunately lose the auction, you will only smile and greet your opponent and wave your hand gentlemanly to show courtesy.

As for whether to kill people and sell goods or to settle a bond after leaving this gate, it is not a question that should be considered now.

"The false ugliness of high society is more disgusting than the sanctimonious preaching of the Holy Light by Glendaw!" was Merlin's assessment of such an occasion.

So he never went in and out of such places, he would rather go and watch bloody underground gladiatorial fights.

The goods in today's auction were all unremarkable, and there was only one new high-grade spar mined in the dwarven pit, which caused several parties to fight.

Because the spar contains the rare magical power of the dark system, the undead mages present bid frantically, and those rich children and noble sons who cultivate the holy light law system are rarely so excited to see the faces of this group of dead people, and they also raise their cards in the middle many times. In the end, the two sides almost fought again, and the auction house had to come forward to persuade them. After a commotion, the nobles were completely reserved, and finally the starting price of 1200 gold was obtained by a necromancer for 3700 gold.

Soon, the auction reached the finale.

"This is our last auction item of the day. The auctioneer's loud voice echoed through the palatial halls.

"It's so old that we can't verify the name of the object. ”

"But it's an epic staff!"

Hearing this, many people in the venue turned their attention from the beautiful female companion around them to the auction table.

Epic-level staff, if it can match the law system you cultivate, your combat power can be greatly improved, which is enough to crush opponents of the same level.

Therefore, a good staff is worth a lot of money.

The mages present began to stir.

"Everyone, please see. The auctioneer lifts the curtain that covers the lot.

Inside the glass box, there was a staff that did not look good.

The cane, which curved like a dead tree branch, was topped with a small black spar.

The whole staff has no beauty, it looks like a clumsy work made by an apprentice in a blacksmith's shop.

The auctioneer carefully picked up the staff and cast a simple light spell on the hedron with his other hand.

The hedron instantly became colorful and shot out a dazzling light, as if the holy light descended and illuminated the entire hall, and the dark mages even subconsciously cast a talisman magic.

High-grade spars, even divine spars! Many people's eyes began to become hot.

"I'm sure everyone no longer doubts the epic quality of this staff. The auctioneer put the staff back into the glass case.

"But once you know where it came from, you'll be even more interested. ”

"But before I get into that, I'd like to tell you one thing with regret. ”

The auctioneer deliberately went around in a circle to arouse everyone's appetite, and he said in a slightly regretful tone: "The affinity of this staff is not compatible with everyone present. ”

"But that doesn't affect his value!" the auctioneer's voice became high, and he ignored the whispers in the audience.

"Because he came from that last dragon slaying battle, and his owner is the legendary dragon slayer family, Bernoulli!"

The auctioneer's words instantly caused an uproar, the final battle of the dragons, the epic war that was a thousand years ago, the result was unknown, but the dragons and warriors disappeared together?

After listening to the auctioneer's introduction, the bidder thought that it was simply a fantasy, after all, the battle of the dragon slayer has become a mythical legend, and the Bernoulli family has long since disappeared for hundreds of years. But the Sorbis auction house is very good at appraising the auction items, and they certainly don't joke about their signs, so many people calm down and start to face the facts.

Could this really be a staff that has passed through the mists of thousand-year-old history and returned to the world from Hades?

And someone in the audience recognized this fact earlier than others, especially when the auctioneer said the three words Bernoulli, this beautifully dressed girl instantly burst into tears.

.........

"What's wrong with you, Anna?"

In the corner, a short-haired girl in a dark blue gorgeous military uniform asked worriedly when she saw her companion suddenly hiding her face and crying.

The weeping maiden is called Anna, and the companion who asks about her is called Loren, and they are both from another powerful country on the continent, the Habtic Empire.

Located in the west of the continent, the Habs Empire is the staunchest supporter of the Dark See, and King Habs calls himself the Dark Pope, the sharpest claw of the black eagle vulture, and has led a large army to confront the countries of Light on the frontier all year round.

Anna and Loren were classmates at the Royal Academy of the Habs, Anna was adopted at the age of three, and her adoptive mother was Dorothy, the famous "widow duke" in the empire. And Loren's identity is even more prominent, he is the shining pearl held by the Alva royal family, the youngest daughter of King Habs, and the most arrogant and domineering Princess Loren in the empire.

King Habs famously said that his affection for this little daughter was evident: "If one day little Loren wants to play with the jewel of the Holy Light Pope's triple crown, I will immediately drive the army to the city of Holy Lin." ”

The mage powerhouse Lorraine and the Habs Empire, which has the most powerful knight legion in the continent, have been very close in recent years, and the relationship is so good that the Holy Light Pope is worried about whether Lorraine is in danger of falling to the Dark See. The two countries are not only close to each other at the diplomatic level, but also have frequent exchanges between the people, Lorraine School of Magic and Magic and the Habs Royal Academy established an exchange student system, and Anna and Loren, the two noble sisters, came to Lorraine for this reason to be exchange students for a year.

.........

Loren clenched the knight's sword at his waist and looked around vigilantly, she didn't know what was going on, she didn't want to come to this auction, but Anna was very interested, and said to take a look, a long insight. She was in high spirits during the whole scene, but she didn't expect the sudden change in the situation, and she cried inexplicably.

The auction on the stage has already begun, with a starting price of 3,000 gold, but there are many people participating in the auction, and many bidders are keenly aware of the value of this auction item.

The dragon-slaying weapon that kills the "Red Satan" is exciting to think about.

Anna had come to her senses at this time, she grabbed Loren's shoulders and said seriously, "Loren, I want to ask you for a favor." ”

Loren was caught by Anna, but at the same time realizing the seriousness of what Anna was about to say, she nodded.

"I didn't bring any money today, but please help me buy this auction item no matter what, the money, and I'll find a way to return it to you later." ”

"No problem. "Loren, a royal child, has always had no concept of money, since it is a good sister's request, she will help her do it anyway, but at the same time she also wants to know the reason why Anna is suddenly so abnormal.

Knowing what she wanted to ask, Anna said, "This story is too long, I'll tell you it slowly, but what I can tell you is that my former name was Anna Bernoulli." ”

Bernoulli? The Bernoulli family who originally owned the staff?

Could it be that Anna is a descendant of Bernoulli the Dragon Slayer?

Loren suddenly understood, and she glanced at the attendant beside her, who immediately walked to the auction table and raised his card.

"4000 gold. The audience was in an uproar.
