Chapter 717: An Extremely Tense Situation

Unlike the auctions on the black market, the auctions held by the Blood Clan did not consider keeping a low profile at all, not only did they set up the venue in the Moonlight Theater in the center of the city, but they even compiled a booklet of the items to be auctioned early and distributed them, and recorded the vast majority of the lots and low prices of the auction in that booklet, undoubtedly telling those participants to prepare for money.

There are also special items that are not listed in the manual, but are marked with a price, and each price is very impressive to show how valuable it is.

Although the auction was for money, there were some special lots that were marked as bartering, and several of these items were for wizard healing potions, and there were quite a few of them.

Before the carriage reached the auction, it was stopped by the policing police, most of whom were ordinary people, only one or two were bloodborns, and on the rooftops around the streets, there were a few people, all of whom were holding special steam crossbows and watching the crowd in the street vigilantly, in case anyone caused trouble.

When the carriage was stopped, Leo sensed that there were people on the roofs on both sides of the carriage with steam crossbows aimed at the carriage, and as soon as there was any movement on the side of the carriage, those people would surely attack immediately.

The tension in front of him gave the impression that the disappearance of Dawson Quivan and the big incident that happened in the museum had completely annoyed the BloodClan, so that the Bloodclan had to raise the alarm of the entire city to the top.

After Sylvia presented the invitation, the carriage was cleared, and the threat of falling on it disappeared.

"Doing this will only make people feel that they are not confident enough. Sylvia looked at the people on the roof through the curtains and said disdainfully: "If it were me, I would keep the streets calm, at least seem to be calm, and then secretly let those unruly people mysteriously disappear one by one, only in this way can it have a shocking effect on those who want to stir up trouble." ”

Leo also nodded in agreement, he also felt that the current performance of the Blood Clan seemed to be bluffing, and Leo felt that these actions of the Blood Clan did not seem to be because of Dawson Kuivan's disappearance and the fire in the museum, these two things were just a trigger, and the current tense martial law in Moonlight City should be related to other things, and even the fact that Yasha County blocked the railroad from allowing external steam trains to enter here, I am afraid it is also related to the current situation.

As soon as Leo had an idea in his head, he told Sylvia directly about it.

When Sylvia heard this, she was stunned, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and whispered with a serious expression: "The duke of the blood clan may have had an accident. ”

Leo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard Sylvia's inference.

Duncan Kuivan, Duke of the Bloodline, is a very mysterious figure, and his status as a duke is not self-proclaimed, but an official duke canonized by the Kingdom of Mares.

His earliest record appeared more than 500 years ago during the Third Kingdom of Mares, when he joined the command of Ika III, who was still a duke at the time, as a free knight, and then conquered various parts of the Maris Kingdom, eventually assisting Ika III to ascend the throne as the king of the Mares Kingdom, and his credit also helped him obtain the title of earl, and the fief happened to be canonized in Raven Ridge, Yasha County.

Later, he fought against the invasion of the Kingdom of Savile and the border dispute with Dariat, and married the sister of Ika III at the time, and was eventually made a duke, and his fief became Yashashire.

However, after being made a duke, Duncan Kuifan did not establish himself as a vassal state of the Kingdom of Mares like other dukes, but still kept the county of Asha in the Kingdom of Mares.

Since then, no matter how turbulent the Kingdom of Maris has been, the county of Asha has remained relatively peaceful, at least on the surface, and Duncan Kuifan rarely appears in front of people, usually only showing his figure during major events or some very important celebrations of the blood clan, revealing to the outside world that he is still alive.

However, this kind of performance also made many people think that this duke did not actually exist, or was dead, and now the duke mentioned outside is just an illusion deliberately created by the blood clan, but no one dares to confirm this.

Because the strength of the Blood Duke is not boasted, but the actual battle record, on the battlefield he has faced the apostle of the King of the Hill and the Lord of All Life and Destruction more than once, under the attack of the apostle, he not only survived, but even killed several apostles, which also makes some people speculate that the ancestor of the demigod of the blood clan is actually the blood duke Duncan Kuifan.

Because according to the power obtained by the apostle from the gods, the apostle should be about the same as the demigod when he is the strongest, and even some evil gods are far from being comparable to the apostle of the king of the hill and the lord of all things of life and death, but such a powerful apostle, but he failed to take down the blood duke, and was even killed, which is enough to show the strength of the blood duke, and such a powerful power is really very similar to the demigod ancestor of the blood clan, it is difficult not to make people feel suspicious.

"Duke Blood has always had injuries on his body. Sylvia added: "It was left behind when he was fighting with the apostles of the Lord of Life and Death, and he almost died at that time, but he was later saved by the ancestors of the Witch Clan, and this is the contract signed between the Witch Clan and the Blood Clan." Although the outside world said that his injuries had already healed, and even in order to prove that his injuries were healed, he entered the Visvi Forest to eradicate a cult of evil gods that captured the blood clan for sacrifice, but our witch knew that his injuries had never healed. ”

At this time, the carriage vibrated suddenly, and then slowly stopped, and then the coachman jumped out of the driver's seat, brought a small staircase, put it at the door of the carriage, opened the door, and said to Leo and Sylvia: "Sir, Miss, the Moonlight Theater has arrived." ”

The Moonlight Grand Theater is located on the broken sickle hill, which is the highest place in the entire Moonlight City, standing on the top of the bell tower of the Moonlight Grand Theater and looking around, you can see the entire Moonlight City.

The Bloodline has always been very fond of all kinds of art, as if there are artistic cells in the nature of the Bloodline, and even a butcher like Oga Quinine will create his own bloody art.

When the art form of drama appeared, the Blood's love for theater was evident, and they not only built the largest and most ornate theater in the world, but even funded various opera artists to create various plays that had an abyssal impact on the world.

Someone once calculated that nearly eighty percent of the world's plays are from Yasha County, and more than seventy percent of the premieres are held at the Moonlight Theater, which also makes the Moonlight Theater a mecca for theater lovers all over the world.

Many theater lovers think that only after watching a play at the Moonlight Grand Theater can they really watch a drama, and opera artists take their own opera performance at the Moonlight Grand Theater as the highest honor.

In this way, this building, which is regarded as a sacred place by theater lovers, is closely guarded by the military police, and all those who enter and leave the Grand Theater must show an invitation letter, and the atmosphere of the entire Moonlight Theater is extremely tense, and what makes the surrounding ordinary citizens feel even more nervous is that most of those who enter the Moonlight Theater are wearing black cloaks, covering themselves tightly, feeling like they are going to do something unspeakable, which makes people worry that something bad will happen.

"We seem to be wearing the wrong clothes!" said Leo as Sylvia handed the invitation to the gendarmes guarding around the Moonlight Theater as he handed the invitation to the military police guarding around the Theater.

"It's okay!" Sylvia put her arm around Leo affectionately and said, "We're normal people, we don't have to hide like them." ”

Sylvia's voice was not loud, but the cloaked people around her could hear it clearly, and although they were all annoyed by Sylvia's words, they did not lecture Sylvia due to the vigilance of the surrounding gendarmes.

However, there are also some bold ones who don't have so many concerns and secretly attack Sylvia, wanting to make a fool of her.

It's just that to the surprise of these people, the abilities they cast disappeared out of thin air after getting close to Sylvia, as if there was a monster that could devour everything beside Sylvia, and this accident also made these people rein in and did not make any follow-up actions.

Leo and Sylvia climbed the stairs and entered the Moonlight Theater through the main entrance, handing the invitation in their hands to the attendants waiting at the door, and then the attendants led them to a specific location in the Grand Theater.

The waiter led the two into a box on the second floor, and then briefly explained how to use the lamp in the box window and the button next to the seat to conduct the auction, demonstrated twice, and said that when there were other instructions, pull the rope on the wall, and then turned and left.

"What are you deliberately stirring up the emotions of those people?" asked Leo after the waiter left, turning to Sylvia.

Sylvia didn't answer immediately, but asked Leo, "What is the strength of those people?"

Leo thought back to the process of using the spirit net to dispel those energies just now, and said, "It's very ordinary, even if you were able to deal with them easily. ”

"Those cunning fellows only dare to send some small fish and shrimp to pretend. Sylvia said dismissively.

Leo didn't ask, but waited for Sylvia to explain.

Afterwards, Sylvia continued, "According to the information I received, among the several special items in this auction, there are several items that are particularly important to the Cult of the Evil God, so I want to try ......"

"How can your method be useful?" Leo smiled, shook his head, and said, "Don't say that what you just said is not a verbal insult, even if you really insult them, or even humiliate the faith of those cultists, they will not do anything in that situation." ”

As he spoke, he paused suddenly, as if thinking of something, and turned his head to look at Sylvia thoughtfully.

"Why are you looking at me like that, is there anything wrong with me?" Sylvia asked, a little uncomfortable by Leo's gaze.

Leo said in a word: "What you did just now was not actually for those cultists to see, but deliberately for others to see, am I right?"

"It's boring. Sylvia pursed her lips and said, "The Hill Kings Church has already mastered a few cult leaders who are mortal enemies of the Hill Kings Church to enter Moonlight City, and they want me to assist them in dealing with these people, which is my last mission as an adjudicator, and I have no interest in doing those things, so I plan to deal with it casually." ”

"Actually, I can help you ......," Leo said in a deep voice.

Sylvia shook her head and declined Leo's kindness, saying, "No need! I know very well the rules of the people who taught them, you completed their task this time, and you will try to let you do it next time, so I simply didn't give them any chance from the beginning." ”

In this regard, Leo did not force it, but said that he needed to make a move, and then focused on the list of auction items in the box room.

It was clear that the invitation from the Bloodlines to the Witch Clan was of the high-end type, not only did it have a separate box, but the list of auction items was more detailed, at least three times thicker than the list Leo had seen in Fat Robert.

In this list, not only the current status of the auction items is recorded, but also the origin of the auction items is recorded in detail, but those special auction items are still not placed in the list, and it seems that the blood clan wants to use those auction items as the finale to expand their influence.

Although Leo was curious about the special lots, he was more interested in the box that the black market couldn't open, which was his main purpose here, so he quickly flipped to the page where the box was located.

It's just that he was disappointed that there wasn't much more information about the box than he had seen from Fat Robert, and the extra part didn't have much effect, the only useful piece of information was that the owner of the box, the wizard who laid out the Turing root on the black market, went out to sea and disappeared, and the last time he was seen was in the northernmost ice blade snow field in Dalyat, it seems that the wizard is preparing to go deep into the snow field and explore the northernmost part of the world.

Just as the southern end of Moisan is an endless wasteland, so the northern end of Minsk and Viron is an endless ice field.

There is an endless amount of ice and snow on this ice field, which does not melt all year round, because the impact of the perennial ice storm on the ice surface of the ice field has caused the ice sheet surface to form a strange terrain like a knife blade, which looks like an ice blade hell from a distance.

Although the ice fields and the wasteland are considered two dead places by the world, they are fundamentally different.

Even if the depths of the wasteland are inaccessible, there is an endless jungle, and there are a large number of animals living in the jungle, even if everything there is alive, including a small grass, wants to eat the intruder, but at least there is no lack of life.
