Collingworth Castle, Lord's House.

A few bones that had been almost charred, some gray-black ashes, a half-melted badge of nobility that could only be barely distinguished, and a glittering silver blade lay bits and pieces on the white cloth of the desk.

Viscount Melle's trembling hand stroked over the objects, and finally he picked up the silver blade, the peculiar ring mark on the blade that he knew all too well.

Ten years ago, on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony of his eldest son, Desel, Viscount Mailer personally handed him the family heirloom blade to encourage him to become a true man.

And now, this young knight, who had high hopes from Viscount Mellor and the first in line to the throne of Collingworth, has disappeared from this world forever, leaving only these fragments.

"No!~"

The Viscount, who had a reputation for being tough and ruthless, shed tears, never imagined that one of his tests on Desel would cost the eldest son's life.

"How did you protect Desel! Did the Collingworth family raise a bunch of waste for decades?"

All the grief turned to anger in an instant, pouring out on the two knights of the clan who were kneeling on the ground.

The two family knights were Desel's subordinates, who had traveled with Desel to the city of Tormond, but now they had only brought back Desel's relics, not even a complete body.

The two knights lowered their heads and said nothing, in fact, they also felt very wronged in their hearts.

Since Concordia turned his back on the Collingworth family, neither Viscount Melle nor Desel trusted the other knights as much as they used to be.

This time they went to the city of Tomond on an errand, and neither of them knew what the specific mission was, and Desel didn't take the two of them with him every time he went out.

A few days earlier, Desel had gone out for the last time and had not returned, and the two knights searched for it, and finally found out that an old building had caught fire that night, and that one had died.

Sensing that something was wrong, they hurried over to inquire about it, and finally saw the ashes of the deceased through the garrison, and confirmed the identity of Desel from the two remains at the scene.

As for why Desel died here, the garrison did not know anything, and could only determine that he was killed by someone, and the perpetrator set fire to the body and destroyed the traces.

The two family knights were also to blame for such an incident, but they still kept up with their duty and returned Desel's ashes and relics to Collingworth.

"Get out, get out of here! From today onwards, you're no longer knights of Collingworth!"

After the two knights left, Viscount Maile cried the short blade in his hand, and his palm was cut by the blade and red blood flowed out.

But the viscount didn't feel the slightest pain, the pain in his heart was ten times heavier, and a pair of wolf eyes revealed an incomparably violent blood.

"Desel, I will definitely avenge you, I will personally cut off Leon's head and place it in front of your tombstone!"

The oath of bitter hatred echoed in the room for a long time, like the cry of a lone wolf in the wasteland!

At the same moment, thousands of miles away in the city of Tormond, Leon, who had vowed to cut off his head by Viscount Melle, sat in the box of the underground auction hall with a happy smile on his face.

Now the auction table is auctioning his Mithril and Star Sandgold.

Three ounces of Mithril and ten ounces of Stellar Sand Gold had a floor price of 80,000 gold coins, but the price quickly rose from the beginning, rushing straight up to 125,000 gold coins.

"The ninth is 128,000 gold coins, is there anything higher, this is a rare Mithril and Star Sand Gold, the two materials together are enough to refine a powerful weapon or armor, is there anything higher?"

The auctioneer is agitated with a three-inch tongue and does his best to stir up the emotions of the buyer, intending to fetch a higher price.

"Okay! 130,000 gold coins on the 15th, 130,000 gold coins!"

The bidders at the auction are all anonymous, distinguished only by the number of the box, and the bidders do not know the identity and strength of their opponents at all, except for the organizers, which guarantees the safety and secrecy of the final winner.

130,000 gold coins! Leon really has nothing to say, if he sells it himself, it is estimated that he can only sell 70,000 or 80,000 gold coins at most, where can he sell it at auction for such a good price.

The underground black market auction hall is indeed a feast place for the top rich, and Leon can be regarded as a small piece of soup mixed in.

In the end, three ounces of Mithril and ten ounces of Star Sand Gold were sold for 145,000 gold coins, and after deducting 10% of the commission, Leon got more than 130,000 gold coins!

"Congratulations!" Corinna congratulated with a smile, "That's a pretty good price!"

"Yes, this time it's all thanks to your help..."Leon smiled, "I don't know if I can get a water-based magic jewelry." ”

With Leon's capital, I'm afraid I don't have the qualifications to compete with others here, but with Corinna's help, it is not too much of a problem to win one of the lots.

After a few more lots were sold, Leon's attention was drawn to the new lots.

"Shuibi earrings, Shuibi rings..."The auctioneer pointed to the two pieces of emerald green jewelry on the silver plate and said loudly: "They come from the secret realm of the Holy Realm, and they are the beautiful crystallization of the magical civilization of the ancient holy realm, which is extremely rare and rare!"

"The two pieces of jewelry belong to a set, after identification, wearing them can greatly enhance the affinity with the water element, improve the attack ability of the water spell, and the earrings also come with a trigger water curtain protection spell, which is very rare!"

"The reserve price of the auction is 100,000 gold coins, and at least 3,000 gold coins will be added to the price at one time!"

The auctioneer shouted with a red face and a thick neck, and said that the lot was unique in the sky and on the earth, but after he set the reserve price, unexpectedly no one immediately shouted the bid.

"There are very few magic weapons from the secret realm of the Holy Realm, but neither the earrings nor the rings are beautiful enough..."Corinna said critically: "And the two are not a set, without the most important necklace, the value will be greatly reduced." ”

"Also, they are obviously more suitable for water magicians of the human race or elven race, it's a pity to put them here for auction, this reserve price is too high!"

Leon secretly admired in his heart, Corinna said the key point in a few words, this vision and experience are absolutely extraordinary.

He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pressed the crystal ball on the table: "One hundred and three thousand gold coins!"

Corinna was stunned, and looked at Leon with a strange gaze - wasn't she clear enough?

"Two earrings and a ring, with a blue heart necklace, can make a set, this is enough!" Leon smiled: "Besides, even if there is a better one in the future, I'm afraid I can't afford it." ”

In this auction, the final transaction price of an item is often double or even triple the starting price, and it is normal to auction from a reserve price of 100,000 yuan to 200,000 yuan.

And the higher the reserve price of the lot in the back, Leon only has more than 100,000 gold coins in hand, and he can only look at it later, unless Corinna is willing to lend him money.

It's just that Corinna is willing, and Leon doesn't want to owe her so much anymore, there is a suitable set now, and it would be okay if it could be photographed.

Corinna was so clever that Leon understood as soon as she said it, so she didn't say anything more.

But what the two didn't expect was that someone soon raised the price: "110,000 gold coins!"

Could it be that everyone has a lot of money and has no place to use it? Leon was a little speechless, he bought water-based magic jewelry for a special purpose, not to give it to others.

"113,000 gold coins!" he could only shout again, if these two pieces of jewelry could not be taken, then the rest would be even more useless.

"120,000 gold coins!" the competitor refused.

"You're bidding too fast," Corinna warns, "it's possible that the seller raised the price himself." ”

It makes sense! Leon thought about it and stabilized it first, no longer in a hurry to bid, and did not bid for 123,000 gold coins until the auctioneer was about to call for a sale.

This gives the other party the feeling that he is hesitating to consider, if it is really the seller who raises the price himself, then it is bound to be impossible to raise it again, otherwise Leon gave up it is really stealing chickens and rice.

Sure enough, this time the competitors died down, and Leon bought the lot for 123,000 gold coins.

was cheated for 20,000 gold coins! Leon felt a little heartache when he thought about it, but after all, he was open-minded, and he quickly saw it.

Soon, the lot was sent to the box, and almost all of the money that Leon had just received was spent.

After getting the earrings and rings, Leon noticed that the two pieces of jewelry looked much more beautiful recently, the earrings were made of mythril, and the pendant was two round and crystalline blue-green magic cores.

The whole ring is carved from magic crystals, which is flawless, and the texture is very similar to the top imperial green jadeite, and the thrilling green makes people's eyes shine.

Corinna also liked it very much, and tried to put it on and look at it, reflecting her snow-white skin, adding a bit of beauty.

Leon felt good, so he said, "Why don't you keep it!"

"I've got better," Corinna laughed, "and it doesn't suit me very well." ”

After a moment's hesitation, she added, "Leon, I'm leaving Tormond City tomorrow, and I probably won't be back for a long time. ”

Leon was stunned for a moment: "Where are you going?"

This made him feel very sudden, and a strong reluctance surged in his heart.

"Don't ask, maybe I'll come to you in the future, don't forget your promise!" the fox girl smiled, but her eyes revealed a trace of parting sadness and confusion.

Leon stared into her eyes and said in a deep voice, "My promise to you will always be valid!"

"I know..."

She stretched out her arms and gently wrapped her arms around Leon's waist, then stood on tiptoe.

Imprinted a shallow kiss on Leon's face.
