Chapter 3: Lava Star
"Sixteen thousand five hundred!"
The originally handsome face showed a hint of violence, staring gloomily at the old guy not far away, Louis Lime gritted his teeth and shouted out a price.
This was already the last set of Flame Blades, and it was his only chance.
Among the merchants present, there were not many who could get involved in this kind of level trading, and in terms of financial resources, he was the only one who was an old fellow. It's just that he didn't expect O'Sir, who had not been taken seriously by him from beginning to end, actually contacted the remaining miscellaneous fish in private, and the financial resources he could use surpassed him at once, and before he came back to his senses, he followed Odam to take most of the Broken Beard Blade and Flame Blade.
In fact, as a big merchant second only to Uldam, Louis Lime can naturally have only so much money at his disposal, but the problem is that in view of his previous experience, some very precious magic items will be released at each secret auction auction, such as various magic stones that have sealed mid-level spells, and three Burning Energy Burst Fire Lotus and two Scorching Chaos Rays appeared at the last meeting, these are priceless things even in Dalaran, and the secret auction held in Sunset Town can see a lot every time, these are also the main reasons why Louis Lime does not dare to spend a lot of money on this batch of magic weapons, although a batch of magic weapons can gradually equip one of his troops, but a Burning Energy Burst Fire Lotus, if used properly, can completely kill any profession below the high level.
However, the merchants obviously did not intend to offend Louis Leme, the heir of the noble, and did not follow the price after he quoted the final price of the previous round.
With a cold snort, Louis Lime sat back in his seat with a cold face, watching the old Louis in charge of the auction slowly retreat behind the scenes, bowing his head and thinking.
Except for the first group of Broken Beard Blades, which only sold for 9,500 gold narls, each of the remaining groups of Broken Beard Blades was more than 10,000 gold narls, and the auction of the Flame Blade was even hotter, almost every group was around 15,000 gold narls, but eighty things cost everyone more than 100,000 gold narls, while marveling at the high cost of magic items, everyone also really felt the potential strength of the Sunset Tower, or the mage lord of Kelrith in front of them.
What's more, the secret auction has just begun...
"Hmph! Louis Lime! I'm here!"
In the dark and deep oak forest, wearing a dark brown leather jacket, Louis Lime sneakily looked under a thick oak tree for a long time and was about to turn his head away with some disappointment, when he was suddenly startled by the sound coming from overhead, and in the panic, a dim figure quietly shook behind him, and when Louis Leme noticed it, he had a dagger on his neck, and only the short dagger with the thickness of his middle finger exuded a cold coolness, freezing the young businessman who had no combat power at all and stiffened his whole body.
"Toms!"
Just as the shadow was gently drawing on Louislem's neck with a dagger, there was another sound from the top of the oak tree, and with the sound, four or five figures rushed down and wrapped Louislem inside, and the shadowman who was flirting with him immediately took a step back, and his body naturally disappeared into the darkness under the tree.
"Big brother..."
The biting chill gradually disappeared, and Louis Lime finally regained control of his body, and through the sporadic moonlight, after seeing the person in front of him, he involuntarily took a step back, and turned to shout with a glutinous bow.
"Louis Lime! The horn for help is the right of every family line, but tell me where your danger is!"
With a coldness in his eyes, a slender and even a somewhat thin young man, squinting at the young brother in front of him, the shame of this family.
"Big brother... I have something to say to you alone..."
Glancing at the darkness behind him with some trepidation, Louis Lemnono said to the eldest brother in front of him after a long time.
"Huh!"
But before he finished speaking, there was a low mockery around him, accompanied by a faint sneer, which seemed a little weird.
"Lucy, take the team to the meeting point and wait for me!"
Still squinting, Darsara stared at Louis Leme for a long time, until the other faded his flickering gaze and looked at him calmly.
A slight rush of hurried footsteps faded away, and only two brothers were left staring at each other under the tree.
After a while, Louis Lime slowly moved to his eldest brother's side, leaning in as if whispering something, but the next moment Darsala stopped him with a wave and turned his head to look into the darkness.
"Toms, go tell Lucy and wait for me at the gathering point in Hardwood Village!"
"Yes, sir!"
After half a ring, a voice came from the darkness, and then a faint shadow quickly rushed into the forest.
Frowning at the departing Shadowmen, Darsara squinted and waited for a full ten minutes before turning her head to look at her brother beside her with a gloomy face, her face softening, and she smiled.
"Alright, there shouldn't be anyone around! Stinky boy! Didn't I let you take a small team of guards out of the house!"
"I'm now one of the caravan leaders of the family, and if I die outside, those old immortals won't give up, and if those goods have the courage to make a move, I'll be happy." Besides, it costs too much to exchange for a guard, so it's better to save up and wait for you to hit the high rank, it's always good to have a little more!"
With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Louis Lime said slowly to his eldest brother, while taking out a polyhedron composed of crimson glass, through the transparent glass, a fiery red spar inside was clearly visible, slowly rotating with a flickering firelight.
"Big brother, you have this Burning Energy Burst Fire Lotus!"
"I have long heard that the magic of the magic stone seal made by this Lord of Sunset Town is far beyond the energy level of the normal ring, especially the fire spell, which can almost cross a large ring, and it really lives up to its reputation. ”
Taking the Philosopher's Stone and feeling the energy within, Darsara tugged at the corners of his mouth.
As a four-ring mage, although he is not an enchanter or an elemental mage, it does not prevent him from clearly perceiving the terrifying energy level contained in the magic stone in his hand.
"How do you explain the family?"
Putting away the magic stone in his hand, Darsara asked his younger brother, Louis Lime's main task this time is to purchase as many high-level magic items as possible such as the magic stone at this auction, this kind of thing that can be copied tens of thousands of gold nars with one piece, and it is difficult to cover up one less.
"That's what I want to say to you. At this auction, that mage lord released a batch of low-level magic swords that were comparable to mid-level magic weapons..."
"How much?"
Narrowing her eyes slightly, Darsara asked.
"Fifty one-handed swords, thirty two-handed broadswords!"
With a low smile, Louis Lime explained the details of this batch of magic swords to the eldest brother beside him, and then recounted the entire auction process.
"Oriel?"
Rubbing the mustache off her chin, Darsara asked with a smile at her brother.
"Yes, that bastard put the shadow on the east wall!"
"It seems that this fat sheep is almost raised!"
Still rubbing his mustache, Darsara's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he thought for a while before turning his head.
"Then you'll stay in Sunset for a few more days, and you'd better wait until the first snow has passed before leaving..."
"Okay, then I'll congratulate the eldest brother in advance on the success of the hunt, remember not to forget to leave some soup for the younger brother to drink!"
With a twitch of the corners of his mouth, Louis Lime pretended to bow to his eldest brother, and was kicked by the latter, and after frolicking for a while, the two quickly disappeared into the forest.
But just after the two of them disappeared for about ten seconds, a pair of pale red eyes suddenly appeared where the two of them were standing just now, and a thoughtful expression leaked from the red pupils, and then a closed eye also disappeared into the darkness...
"Boss, why are we in such a hurry to leave!"
Tila shrunk her neck sharply, trying to dodge some biting winter winds, but finding that it was completely useless, said to the caravan leader sitting beside her with a sad face.
Although under normal circumstances, the caravan would not stay in Sunset Town for too long, although everything can usually be handled in two or three days, but the subsequent crossing of the entire Sunset Forest, especially the driving of the carriage was originally a very slow thing, even if the road conditions were good, the whole journey would take close to two days for the caravan to cross the Sunset Forest and reach the border between Stratholm and Great Cowlingshire, and then it would take more than two days to reach the east wall barrier where the caravan's headquarters were located.
Olair's caravan is actually not a specialized merchant, rarely carries out this kind of long-distance operation, and it is very easy to get tired from continuous travel, especially the continuous journey, which is a great test of the caravan's endurance and resistance, so usually the caravan will be corrected in Sunset Town for a few days after the end of the chamber of commerce activities.
This time, however, it took only two days for the caravan to finish everything and make its way home in the early morning of the third day.
"Shut up, stinky boy, Rory has been noisy all the way, you keep vigil with the guards tonight!"
Ole, curled up in his leather jacket, glared at Tira, but his eyes flashed with an uncertain light, and decades of ups and downs in the business world made him understand that this return journey was likely not to be peaceful.
In fact, before the change, he had never had the desire to be contaminated with the things in the secret auction, as a fairly well-known independent merchant on the east wall, he has always pursued the principle of prudence and conservatism, which is why he has participated in the Chamber of Commerce in Sunset Town three times, but he has never played a hand in the secret auction.
Moreover, in fact, if he wasn't a well-known grain merchant on the East Wall Wall, he would not be qualified to come into contact with this level of chamber of commerce, and even among the seven merchants this time, two of them were just pure grain merchants like him before.
But this time, with some small means, he has changed his previous style, made a bold move, and successfully intercepted thirty magic weapons. The reason for this was that these weapons were too sudden and too sought-after, but after a few minutes of inner struggle, he had already made up his mind to fight for it, for himself and for the sake of the adult behind him.
With the assistance of these weapons, that adult's status in the clan can at least be raised to a higher level, and he...
"Ahh
Just as Olel was thinking about how to use these weapons after arriving at the lair, there was a continuous wail in his ears, and after a slight pause, the old man in his fifties stood up suddenly.
"Guards, guard the carriage, everyone, lean over me!"
Pulling down his hood and braving the cold wind, Aurel roared, but as far as the eye could see, the entire caravan was in complete chaos.
In just a few minutes, a standard squad of caravan guards had completely drunk blood and fell to the ground, looking at the raider who was slowly pulling the long sword out of the captain's heart not far away, Oleer's heart was cold, and then he turned to sit down, and grabbed the reins in his hand on the side.
But as soon as the hand stretched out, the head of the young man who was completely stunned on the side was separated from the body after a cold light, and the red instantly dyed the Oleer on the side into red, even the old fritter Oleer who had been in his life for half a life suddenly felt a nausea rushing to his nose, but he immediately resisted the desire to vomit, lowered his head to avoid a cold light, and rolled down the carriage.
Helpless, he is not a professional himself, plus his old arms and legs, as soon as he landed on the ground, he twisted his left foot, fell to the ground with a stagger, turned over and saw that the attacker in black had surrounded him, six people, but in a quarter of an hour, all the battles were over, and the entire caravan including thirty-five escorts was left, and he was the only one left who was old and weak.
Trembling and wiping the red on his eyelids, old Olaire looked at the black-clothed people who surrounded him, and then connected a pair of cold eyes, completely ignoring life as nothing, cold-blooded, sighing slightly, Olaire slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the arrival of death.
"Disperse!"
As soon as Oleel closed his eyes, a wave of heat exploded in front of him, directly rolling the old man backwards a few times, coughing and opening his eyes, he found that there was no longer a man in black around. In the gray mid-air, fireballs the size of human heads whistled down from the sky, and then exploded after hitting something, setting off a wave of heat around them.
Grabbing the wheel of the car beside him, Olaire slowly got up, but as soon as he stood firm, a wave of heat blew behind him, and rolled him forward again, and when the old Olaire sighed and was about to meet the ground again, a hand suddenly stretched out and held him up.
"Mr. Olell, I'm sorry we're late!"
With a warm comfort in his ears, Aurel turned his head to look, a small gray hair, supporting a robe of the same color flashing layers of magic patterns from time to time in the gray, his left hand easily supporting himself, and his right hand holding a pure white staff, the person who came was obviously a formal mage.
"Good day, Master Mage, thank you so much for saving your life!"
Bowing respectfully to the young mage in front of him, Oleel glanced around at the same time, although the caravan's carriage was not damaged in the slightest, the cascading corpses were constantly announcing a massacre just now.
In the dense forest, a layer of levitation was attached, and Darsara ran lightly, and only three of the original five team members were left behind him.
The massacre that was originally easy to fall on one side, but I didn't expect that there was a large wave of mages hidden in the forest on the side, and the first wave was at least thirty or more flame rays. Although for him of the four-ring mage, this kind of spell that can be at the bottom of the level even in the one-ring spell can't even break his arcane armor, but this time he really felt the spines of what is called quantitative change causing qualitative change, and the arcane armor only lasted less than two seconds before bursting, and the subsequent burning armor was barely strong, but it consumed a lot of his mana.
On the other side, the other people who were completely defenseless, there was a soldier who was pierced by five flame rays for the first time, and he was killed immediately, and the rest were more or less injured under this wave of flame rays, and then scattered at the moment, everyone was greeted by a terrifying fireball technique, except for himself, the only middle-level warrior in the team died under the intensive bombardment of at least fifteen one-ring fireball techniques, and finally even formed a scorching flame storm, so that the bones of the warriors who were originally in the center could not be found.
With a piercing scream, the last Shadow Artist of the team used both daggers together, scattering the two fireballs that burst over, but the weapons in his hands were also dyed with a layer of dark, although they were magic weapons, but they were only the lowest level, barely attached to the tenacity and weak sharpness attributes, which were used to perform stealth assassination in the past, and now the hard anti-fireball technique, naturally half of it was wasted at once, a trace of red flashed in his eyes, and the Shadow Man shook off the completely charred dagger in his left hand, and his speed accelerated suddenly, and he caught up with the team in front of him.
"Toms! Beware!"
But just as the Shadowmen were about to catch up with the group, Darsala, the leader of the group, suddenly turned around and shouted at the Shadowmen.
Hearing the warning of the team leader, the shadow man's body froze, just dodging a fireball falling from the sky, but in the next second, a slender red line appeared in his sight, and the dagger in his hand subconsciously slashed, but the red line was like a long snake and dexterously dodged the dagger's trajectory and continued to rush towards the shadow man, but it was immediately cut off by a thin blade that burst out of the shadow man's mouth. And just when the Shadow One released his last resort to finally cut off the red line of the raid, he breathed a sigh of relief, but found that the other party had turned into two pieces, and lightning rushed over, and then his left eye was black, and in the heart-rending pain, a red line had already entered his eyes, and just wanted to wail, the other red line had been nailed into his chest, and in the muffled sound, the Shadow One fell to the ground and convulsed and gradually lost his breath.
The group that had not gone far watched the red silk threads slowly emerging from the shadowman's eyes and chest gradually disappear into the darkness, and they all gasped, especially one of the low-level warriors whose left hand was pierced by a beam of rays at the beginning, and his face was full of cold sweat while running and looking around nervously, as if he would be strangled by the same red silk thread in the next second, but his looking around lasted for half a minute, and the five flame rays suddenly burst out of the darkness in the forest, leaving five large black holes in the body, and shot to the front of the team unabated。
The staff in his hand slammed to the ground, and a black light curtain appeared in his reluctance, completely blocking the flame rays that **** came over, and Darsara pulled the last teammate of the team behind him.
"Lava Star Everyone, I am willing to pay a price that you are satisfied with to redeem the freedom of the two of us!"
Casually applying another layer of burning armor to himself and the female warrior beside him, Darsara shouted loudly into the darkness in the forest.
"Hehe! It's worthy of Andy Far's wise fox, but I don't know if you die here, how long will that little fox live?"
As Andy Fal came to a standstill, the raid in the forest also stopped, and after a long time, the faint sound of banter was heard.
"So, how sure are you that you're going to keep me, or is Mistress really going to fight our brother to the death?"
Hearing the threatening taunt in the forest, Darsala's face became more and more gloomy, even the brothers they had disguised for so many years knew so clearly, it seemed that the legendary mage lord had paid attention to himself not once or twice, and shook the staff in his hand before Darsara asked in a low voice.
