"Where have you been this afternoon?"

Thor asked, staring at Duke. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Duke glanced at him and said, "In the library." ”

Thor immediately asked, "Then why didn't I see you?"

Duke opened the door and replied, "That's your problem. ”

Thor choked for a moment, then said mockingly, "You're avoiding me because you're afraid, aren't you?"

Elves are a very proud race, especially young elves, and in his experience, there are very few people who are not stimulated by this.

Duke ignored it, picked up the letter on the ground, and examined it carefully in front of him.

Thor's face was not very good, but he also wanted to know what was written in the letter, so he pretended to be disdainful and stood aside and waited for Duke to open it.

Duke checked and was sure that no one had opened it, but he turned and walked straight into the house, closed the door casually, and shut him out.

Salton's face was swollen red as if he was drunk, as the descendant of a tribal elder, no one had ever treated him like this!

But he had to figure out Duke's strength, and Duke was in the library throughout the day, and it was not suitable for cultivation, so if Duke hadn't given up fighting for the Moonlight Glade's place, the night should have started, right?

At this time, the elves of many tribes came to the royal city, in order to observe Duke's movements nearby, he rented a room facing Duke at a high price, and then he opened the window and moved a chair to sit down, so that as long as Duke used spells, he could not escape his perception.

In the room, Duke opened the envelope, and there were two letters, one for the teacher and one for Wei'an.

As he guessed, the teacher's letter did not mention that the Moonlight Woodland was opened and asked him to return, but only let him practice with peace of mind, and imparted some druid knowledge, and finally mentioned the hope he asked Vian to bring back to investigate the undead of the Hope Outpost: This time, the Second Elder Ram personally went out and went deep into the edge of the Dark Abyss Trace, killing several sixth-level corpse generals, but the surroundings around the outpost were normal.

To be honest, he was skeptical of this conclusion, but that was beyond his duty and strength, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he would investigate it himself.

Vian's letter didn't last long, but he mentioned one thing related to the Moonlight Woodland quota, and the other druids in the tribe seemed to be deliberately giving up the opportunity to fight for the place, that is, the place of the Moonlight Woodland of the White Lake Tribe was fought for by the three of them.

In this regard, Duke felt a little sorry for them, after all, this opportunity was still won by him for them, of course, maybe it was precisely because of this that they did not cherish it, but their behavior of giving up halfway, judging from his experience, has already foreshadowed their future - persevering, even if it is not successful, there will be great gains, just like him, if it is not for the fight for a place, he can have such a fast improvement speed, can he discover the "Starry Sky Meditation Technique", can he see Melville's cultivation codex?

In the end, Wei An seemed to hear about him selling crystal mooncakes in Wangcheng, and then she said that the tribe also started selling crystal mooncakes, but the taste was not as good as what he made.

The letter ended here, but Duke felt his heart soften suddenly, and couldn't help but recall the situation when he had just crossed into this world and opened his eyes to see her, at that time, he was still still in the blink of an eye, his brain almost shut down, and in the blink of an eye, eight months had passed!

In addition, another thing that impressed him the most was that when he was injured by Sarah, she went directly to the door, and later heard that she directly used magic vines to break down the other party's door - her personality is very hot!

The most recent meeting was more than two months ago, when she escorted him to the Elven King's City, and the two of them traveled in her horned eagle beast, he peeled nuts for her, she talked about the geography along the way, and that night, that rare gentle greeting, goodnight......

Duke folded the letter, carefully placed it in the envelope, gathered his mind and prepared for the night's practice, and then found Thor staying in the opposite room.

He frowned, the Giant Bear Spell was his hole card, and he didn't want Thor to know that he could use this spell now, but if he practiced the spell in the house, he would definitely not be able to hide it from the other party, and he wouldn't be able to practice itβ€”he had to be familiar with the spell, improve it, and even cross the realm through it, and really rise to the fourth level! That way, his chances of winning would be greater.

He couldn't think of a good way for a while, so for the sake of safety, he had to practice third-level spells.

By the next day, Thor was even more instruded, and he couldn't even read the druid training phone that Dalipson had found for him in the library.

If Thor spies on him like this for the rest of the time, the impact on him will undoubtedly be huge!

Duke hesitated whether to practice the Giant Bear in the face of the dangers of exposure, or to pay three thousand gold for a "Ring of Balance" to shield others from detection, and then the last day of the year arrived, and the first auction of the library began today.

As the initiator of the proposal, Dalipson personally invited him to participate, and he also wanted the auction to go smoothly, so he readily agreed.

As soon as he saw Duke going to the auction, Thor immediately followed.

In the past two days, he has monitored Duke's every move, although he has not found anything, this is normal, Duke will definitely guard against him, but after a long time, it will always show his feet, and it can also bring pressure to him!

Of course, if Duke maintains his performance for the past two days, it will also be excellent, because then it means that he does not have the capital to compete with himself!

In addition, he also wrote a letter to people to bring back to the tribe, and soon the chef of the tribe will come to the royal city to sell crystal mooncakes, and then Duke will not have to think about making a lot of gold coins so comfortably!

It's better to just bring him down - as long as they set the price a little lower and the supply keeps up, it's not impossible!

Anyway, as long as Duke wants it, he will block it, his strength has reached the fourth level, and he doesn't need to raise the level again, there is time!

............

The library's auction was held in the open space in front of the library, and Duke glanced at it, and there were about a thousand people.

Dalipson didn't know where to find a table that looked like it was used for the auction, and the auction hammer, in addition to the two good-looking elf girls standing next to him, according to him, the auction was supported by the elven queen, who was participating in the auction on behalf of the queen.

In addition, there were more than a dozen guards standing around the auction, who came to maintain order.

Dalipson introduced the auction unhurriedly, with unpretentious etiquette, and slowly the whole room fell silent, and then he struck the hammer, and the auction officially began.

Since it was a library auction, the auction items were naturally related to books, and the first auction item was a delicate palm-sized booklet entitled "The Overture of Lady Rosalind's Memories", with a reserve price of 100 gold.

Duke didn't care about these poems or anything, but Rosalind was both a great druid and a grandmaster-level pharmacist, and he had just received Vian's letter two days ago, so he directly auctioned it for 500 gold.

Thor followed Duke, originally to be wary of him secretly doing something, but when he heard Dalipson's introduction and saw Duke bidding for the book without hesitation, he couldn't help but feel upset.

The first book was auctioned off, and Dalipson gave Duke a gentle look, only as if he was a help, but undoubtedly a good start, and then he began to auction the second book: Phil's Violet Dream.

It's a pure love poem, but in order to set the mood, Duke also made a bid.

The third lot is a painting: "The Battle of Tumor".

It depicts the battle of the druid's mentor, the demigod Senarius, who sends the spirit of the giant bear to destroy the poison of the demon lord giant tumor who broke through the shackles of space.

The reserve price of the painting was 500 gold, and then a pale, agitated elf stood up and shouted the price: 1,000 gold!

Then another elf with oil paint in his hand stood up and offered fifteen hundred gold.

Seeing that it was so lively, Duke couldn't help but intervene and offered 1,700 gold.

As soon as he finished speaking, another voice immediately said, "I'll pay two thousand gold!"

None other than Thor.

Duke glanced at him, his heart moved, and he tried to quote again: "I'll pay two thousand two hundred gold!"

The corners of Saul's mouth twitched, and he raised his hand and said, "I'll pay two thousand three hundred gold!"

At this time, the elf who made the first offer said loudly: "I will give you two thousand five hundred gold!" Ladies and gentlemen, the author of this painting, is the grandmother of Xia, I hope you can give it to you, I am very grateful!"

Such a price, coupled with the other party's reasons, Duke did not bid again, and he did not move, and Saul did not offer again.

Subsequently, the manuscripts of two poetry collections were successfully auctioned, and the atmosphere of the auction became more and more enthusiastic.

Earlier, Dalipson carefully took out a book and said: "This book is called "The Wisdom of the Druids", it was written seven thousand years ago, the author is no longer verifiable, but according to legend, it was written by Melville's father, and the auction reserve price is 700 gold!"

Duke immediately raised his hand and said, "I'll pay two thousand gold!"

Saul's eyes lit up and said, "I'll give you two thousand two hundred gold!"

He's excited all over now, he doesn't want the book, but as long as Duke spends more money, he's happy, and his goal has been achieved!

Duke's voice in front of him did not change in the slightest: "I will pay two thousand five hundred gold!"

Thor immediately followed: "I'll pay two thousand seven hundred gold!"

Duke seemed to turn his head and endure it again, and then quoted: "I'll pay three thousand gold!"

Thor looked at Duke and said unhurriedly, "I'll pay three thousand two hundred gold!"

The origin of this book is not clear, and it is not a poem, even if someone wants to shoot it and study it, the psychological price will not be too high, it is generally around 1,000 gold, and the price of 3,000 gold is no longer followed.

At this time, Duke glanced back at Thor, raised his hand expressionlessly, and said, "I'll pay three thousand five hundred, no! I'll pay three thousand eight hundred gold!"

Thor consciously saw through the anger under Duke's expression, only to feel that the blood in his whole body was boiling, and he immediately raised his hand and said, "I'll give four thousand gold!"

As soon as the words came out, he faintly felt that something was wrong, what if Duke didn't follow? He followed the bargain, he didn't have to pay for himself, let others spend money, this felt very good, but if he let himself pay, it was a huge sum of money like 4,000 gold, he could not bear it!

Don't look at Duke's ability to earn one hundred and fifty gold by selling crystal mooncakes in the morning, but in the White Lake Tribe, a day's GDP may not reach this number!

As for himself, the accumulation over the years is only about 1,000 gold, of course, his grandfather Ram is rich, and if the equipment on his body is to be sold, it is estimated that it will be more than 4,000 gold, but he can't sell his equipment!

So, after he finished quoting, he immediately looked at Duke nervously.

Duke moved his shoulders as if to raise his hand, but was finally silent.

Thor's face turned pale instantly.

At this time, Dalipson knocked on the table and said, "This druid has offered 4,000 gold, is there a higher bid than him?" After waiting for a while, he raised his hammer and said: "4,000 gold once! 4,000 gold twice! 4,000 gold three times, ding!

He pointed enthusiastically at Thor and said, "Please take this gentleman aside to complete the deal!"

Two guards stepped forward, and Thor felt like he had no strength to stand up.

PS: Thank you book friends, my friends can't be so... The tip of the little people in the deep heart.

I don't know why, the book review area can't be managed for the time being, and I'll add refinement to everyone when it's done~
