Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Tail

This time Thor didn't say that he would participate in the next auction, in fact, after taking out the staff and mortgaging it again, he could barely stand still, but he didn't leave immediately, but stood aside and watched. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Duke was completely unaffected, still waiting for the next auction in the same calm mood - he had only come to help out with the auction, but he did not expect that there were also books worth auctioning.

Soon, Dalipson took out another book he was interested in, "Totem World" by Sanctuary Mage Lindbergh.

The criterion for judging the value of the book is whether it is useful to him or not, and this book undoubtedly meets his criteria: first, the shaman is a very mysterious group, they worship their ancestors, communicate with heaven and earth, and master the four energies of earth, water, fire, and wind, but few people in the outside world know about them except themselves, and this alone makes it worth photographing it.

Secondly, the book was written before Lindbergh set foot in the Sanctuary, so it at least helped him to become a saint, and perhaps even the shaman he studied in order to step into the Sanctuary, which made it even more valuable to Duke.

So, after Dalipson quoted a starting price of 500 gold, he directly quoted 1,500 gold and won it smoothly.

This is the third book he has won, and the next few books are poetry collections and the like, none of which are of interest to him, and the atmosphere has been set up, so he simply does not offer.

The auction went well, and soon Dalipson showed off a copy of the Sanctuary Druizenwar Star-Chasing, The Sky Conjecture.

Related to this profession, Duke became interested, and directly exceeded the price of three times the starting price, bidding two thousand gold, but this time it was not as smooth as just now, and the elf with the Broken Venus Vine Crown began to fight with him.

Duke was completely unmoved, and steadily pressed the other party down, taking it at the price of four thousand gold.

It was a bit of a pain in his flesh, but he had read all the druid-related biographies in the library in more than two months, and knew that Sinwar Starchase was best at avatar flying, and the book might be related to flying from the name, and it was worth it to auction it at this price.

It can also be seen from here that Wang Cheng's library is still very deep, but it is a pity that his time is limited, otherwise he will definitely have more gains.

Of course, it is not rude to come, since the other party competes on the book he wants, he is not polite, when Dalipson auctioned a "Shadow of Floating Light" that is also a Sanctuary-level hunter and poet, he began to bargain with the other party, and raised a book with the same starting price of 500 gold to 10,000 gold!

The other party naturally liked this book very much, but if there was no Duke to raise the price, that is, about 6,000 gold, he could get it, so after winning the book at the price of 10,000 gold, he was also sweating on the top of his head.

The two high prices of 10,000 gold were related to Duke, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked, so later Dalipson auctioned "The Book of Silor", and Duke bid 1,000 gold, and no one competed with him - through the previous auction, everyone somewhat figured out what he liked, he didn't like beautiful and moving literary works very much, so why compete with him for a book to be examined?

Sirol is the name of the World Tree, it is rumored that it was destroyed in the War of the Ancients, and its body was transformed into the current continent, this book is a book to search for clues everywhere, and Sirol is the ancient pronunciation of Elushir.

When Dalipson handed over the book to Duke, his expression seemed a little helpless, I don't know if it was because of him, the next books auctioned were all pure poetry anthologies, which made the elves who like art very excited, and Duke was bored, and felt that the trip cost a bit too much, so he simply went back to his residence to read and photograph a few books.

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

Late at night, Thor came to Duke's room, and he glanced back at the light of the moon well rising beside the Elven King Tree in the distance, and his pale face was full of hideous hatred in the faint light and starlight!

He exhaled, tugged at his folded clothes a few more times to make himself look more depressed, and reached out and knocked softly on the door.

There was no movement.

From what he knew about Duke, he certainly hadn't slept now, so he knocked a few more times harder.

Still no movement.

He gritted his teeth, approached the door, and called out in a low voice, "Duke, it's me, Thor, have you slept?"

He clearly heard the sound of flipping a book coming from inside, but there was no answer.

He clenched his fists, wishing he could smash the wooden door in front of him or summon Starfire to burn Duke inside!

However, considering his own scheme, he still suppressed his anger in his heart, knocked on the door again, and called out at the same time: "Duke, are you asleep?

I asked several times in a row, but there was still no response.

At this moment, his anger had reached its peak, and he almost didn't care about anything, kicked open the door and tore him alive, but thinking of the debt of 14,000 gold that sank like a mountain, all his anger could only be borne by himself......

Adjusting his emotions again, he couldn't make a corresponding expression on his face, but said as gently as possible: "Duke, since you are asleep, I will come to you again tomorrow!"

In the bedroom, Duke glanced up, his expression unmoved, and turned another page to read.

The next day, seeing the people who had come to buy crystal mooncakes disperse, Thor hurriedly walked out and stopped Duke.

In order to confuse Duke, he deliberately did not rest last night, and he was very embarrassed and weak standing in front of Duke at this time, and he smiled apologetically and bitterly: "Duke, I have something to ask you for...... Yesterday I was hot-headed and photographed those two favorite books, but I don't have that much money on me, can you lend me some?"

As he spoke, he observed Duke's expression, and said with a straight face: "Don't worry, I will definitely return it to you immediately when I return to the tribe......"

In fact, if Duke lent him money, he would never pay it back!

This is the countermeasure he came up with yesterday, and he has thought of it all: Duke also likes this book, so he is willing to share it with him, and he is not afraid of Duke confronting him face to face, he bites to death is what Duke is willing to share, and he can also create public opinion to discredit him, procrastinating, he has a grandfather who is an elder, and in the end, who is unlucky!

He won't pay it back anyway!

Duke didn't even look at him and asked, "Do you have anything else?"

It's not that he has no social experience, he doesn't understand the sinister hearts of people, and he will lend him money when he is crazy!

Thor lowered his head as if embarrassed, and then smiled bitterly: "I know you are still angry with me, I was also wrong at the time, in fact, think about it, we are all a tribe, why fight so fiercely? Alas, it's too late to say anything now, blame me......"

From Duke's point of view, the other party's acting skills are barely passing, but he is not here to see the play, and now his time is very precious, so he turned around and took the door and prepared to go to the dragon's tooth workshop.

Seeing this, Thor quickly stopped talking and shouted, "Wait!", and then, as if having made up his mind, he said bitterly, "Alas, I really don't have any money now...... How's that for the two books, you can see that you like them too, and they cost fifteen thousand gold in total, and you only need to give them twelve thousand, and they'll be yours!"

As soon as Duke accepted the book, it could be said that Duke had bought it back from him, and he would be able to get out of the debt—something he had already thought about, and even what he wanted to see the most.

Duke smiled and said, "There was once a sage who said that a person of high moral character will not snatch things that others like, since you like those two books and photographed them, then they belong to you, you better find a way to raise money!"

Sol was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Wait, if you are too expensive, the price can be negotiated, ten thousand...... How about ten thousand?"

Duke was too lazy to watch his boring performance and turned to leave.

Thor hurriedly stopped him, and said with an angry look: "Eight thousand! Eight thousand, these two books belong to you, this is all right?" Then he said helplessly: "I am also helpless, I have to pay the money as soon as possible, I just hope that when you don't read them in the future, you can lend me these two books to read a few times......"

Duke glanced at him and walked away without looking back.

Thor froze in place, his face instantly flushed, thinking of the way Duke looked at him, like looking at a clown, and the indescribable humiliation and anger filled his heart - what he thought was the perfect plan was like a clown in the eyes of Duke, a person whose cultivation and identity were inferior to him!

He gasped for a while, and then sneered, since you can't outwit, then take it by force!

He will go back to the tribe now, and when he goes back, he will say that Duke agrees to bear the cost of the two books together, and let him go back to get the money, anyway, Duke can't go back now, even if he talks about it afterwards, he can insist that he discussed and agreed with him in private, if Duke does not agree, how can he use this excuse to go back and get the money?

And Duke must have liked both books too, otherwise why would he be so fierce at auction?

In this way, it makes sense!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly packed up his things and rushed back, the original five-day journey, he only took four and a half days.

Upon returning to the tribe, he hurried to Ram and told him what had happened and what he was going to do.

Ram's face had been ugly, and after listening to him, he stared at him viciously for a while, and then said expressionlessly: "Just this morning, Duke sent back a letter from the royal city, and the letter was written about the auction in the royal city...... Moriah just talked to me about it. ”

Thor was startled and exclaimed, "This can't be!"

He had been on his way overnight, and how could Duke deliver the letter faster than he did, unless it had been sent after the auction......

Thinking of this, he felt as if his heart had fallen into an abyss, and his body was wrapped in a bone-chilling cold.
