Section 242 Trouble with Jumping Knife

At the same time, the old evil side also encountered a little trouble, that is, the origin of the jumping knife. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter all, this thing was lost after the looting of the Augustus family's shop, but now it has appeared in the hands of the old evil, of course people will be suspicious.

But the old evil is not a fool, of course he won't admit it, but he won't lie about it, just ignore the other party, and don't care about it at all. The fat man, according to the instructions of the old mage, stated to the public that this was an ancestral treasure and had nothing to do with the Augustus family at all. Of course, he did not forget to take the opportunity to ridicule the Augustus family, saying that their family was poor and was about to eat, how could they afford to buy such a precious thing?

After hearing the fat man's words, the Augustus family was naturally angry, but they really couldn't think of any way to take back the jumping knife except for scolding. Because when they got that thing, it had some disgraceful provenance, and the unused spells made it have no actual value at all, and it couldn't be sold at a good price, so the Augustus family kept it hidden, and wanted to wait for a way to use it later, and then auction it or use it themselves. Therefore, the existence of this thing, even the Augustus family knows about it, and as for the other high-level griffin kingdoms, it is even more unknowing.

In this case, although they reported the crime, they had no way to provide proof that the thing belonged to the Augustus family. Of course, in terms of the power of the Augustus family, under normal circumstances, as long as he says that it is his, then it is not, and basically no one dares to say a word. But the problem is, the Stephens are not ordinary, they are slightly more powerful than the Augusts, in fact, if the Augusts family had not produced a queen, there is really no way to compete with the Stephens. So if the Stephens family said that the Augustus family was lying, the Augustus family really couldn't do anything unless they could show sufficient proof.

Moreover, since the two families are now on a fire-and-off basis, their direct accusations against each other are suspicious in the eyes of outsiders. Even if the Augustus family said that the jumping knife was their family's lost property, others would wonder if the Augustus family knew that the Stephen family had this treasure, so they planned to set a trap so that the Stephen family would suffer? You know, the Augustus family's reputation in the aristocratic circle has always been bad, especially after their family inexplicably obtained the Stephen family's secret recipe for bows and arrows, everyone looked down on them even more. After all, there are not many fools in the aristocratic circle, and anyone can see that they are tired. Since the Augustus family can pit the Stephen family in this matter, it is not impossible to make a fuss about the knife jumping.

Therefore, although the Augustus family knew clearly in their hearts that the only jumping knife on the continent was indeed stolen by themselves, they could not recover it at all. Unless they can come up with conclusive evidence that the jumping knife is theirs. But the original owner of the jumping knife is Kris Chen, with him, the Stephen family is not afraid of a lawsuit with the Augustus family, maybe in the end, Christian's unjust case can be revealed.

However, perhaps they were weak-minded, anyway, the Augustus family did not intend to entangle in this place, but gave up the dispute over the ownership of the jumping knife, and instead began to question the identity of the old evil, they suspected that the old evil was the one who robbed their shop and tortured and killed the children of the nobles. After all, the power of the old evil is too perverted, not to mention anything else, let's just say that the beheading swords of the abyss demons, each weighing a hundred catties, even the sixth-level masters of the human race are a little unable to play, but the old evil is good, just like holding a wooden sword, a sword can cut off the neck of the abyss demon so thick, which shows how terrible this power is. In addition, the old evil is tall enough, and it immediately meets the two characteristics of the murderer.

It's just that the last point they can't figure out is the length of the old demon's arm. Although everyone at the scene of the torture and murder of the nobles died, there were many witnesses when the shop was robbed, and they all said that the murderer's arm was extremely long, almost reaching the top of his own feet. And the old evil in front of everyone, his arms are completely the same as everyone else, even if they are a little longer, they are within the acceptable range, and they are definitely not as exaggerated as the surface of his feet.

However, for the Augustus family, it doesn't matter if they can't figure it out, they can make it up! So their people spread rumors everywhere that the old evil is the murderer, but at that time he was wearing special fist gloves, so he looked a little awkward. Otherwise, how could there be such strange people in the world?

Under the disdain and slander of the Augustus family, not only those nobles were fooled, but even the royal agents began to be vigilant and strengthened the investigation of the Stephen family, and even a few guys came to the old evil and asked him to go back to assist in the investigation.

Of course, this kind of small character who knew at a glance that he was bought by the Augustus family was not put in the eyes of the old evil at all, in fact, he didn't need to do it at all, and the fat man directly called his subordinates to knock these guys who didn't know whether they were alive or dead out of the house.

But the problem is that if you keep making trouble like this, the fat man will be annoyed if he doesn't bother the old evil. So, after sending away those annoying guys, the old evil called Crischen to his room alone, and ordered with some chagrin: "Go and inquire with me, what other valuable property does the Augustus family have?"

"Young Master, what do you want to know?" Cris Chen smiled a little helplessly: "Their family has too many properties, and they are all quite valuable, can you at least give me a direction for investigation?"

"Just look for those shops that are small but very valuable, such as the magic material store last time. "Old heresy.

"Huh, do you want to get them again?" said Christian, immediately surprised.

"Hehe, didn't they say I had gloves on? I'm going to show them this time if Lao Tzu really brought them!" said with a smile.

"But after the last incident, their family's property has been strengthened on guard, this time I'm afraid you are not so good!" said Cristian, frowning.

"Hmph, it's just them, it doesn't matter how many comes!" said the old evil disdainfully: "You just have to find me a good target, don't worry about the rest!"

"If that's the case, there's a good target to start with. Chrischen said immediately.

"Oh, what is it?" asked the old demon curiously.

"That's right. Kristin then explained: "It is said that the old man made a bet with Frank, the patriarch of the Augustus family, before the autumn hunt, and there were several people involved at the same time, and the two sides gambled relatively large, anyway, in the end, Frank lost tens of thousands of gold coins. You also know that the Augustus family's financial situation has been extremely bad recently, especially after suffering a big loss in bow and arrow materials last time, they can almost barely maintain it, and this time they lost this money, which suddenly caused their family to have a serious financial crisis, if there is no large amount of cash flow, it may lead to the collapse of the entire family business. So in this case, they had to come up with a treasure from the family's treasure to put it up for auction. If you can get this thing, I'm sure everyone up and down the Augustus family will vomit blood!"

"Haha, that's great!" When the old evil heard this, he immediately asked excitedly, "What is it?"

"It's a sub-artifact part, called the Ring of Tenacity, with a reserve price of 7w gold coins, but if the final auction price is over, I'm afraid it's definitely more than 100,000, or even 150,000 or 60,000!" Chris Chen said: "It is said that even the old man of our family couldn't sit still after hearing the news!

"Hehe, the old guy thinks so much? The old evil then hurriedly asked, "What is this ring of tenacity, why haven't I heard of it?"

"Hehe, actually, it's the first time I've heard of it, so I went to find out. Chrischen then explained, "According to professionals, the Ring of Tenacity is a part of the sub-artifact's surging blood essence. Legend has it that the 'Surging Blood Spirit' is a bracelet that was passed down from the Otherworldly Plane about 3,000 years ago and was owned by a legendary mage, and later became a funerary object after his death. More than 2,000 years ago, a group of highly qualified tomb robbers obtained this item from the graves of his agency. At that time, there were five tomb robbers, all of whom were good masters, and they all wanted to possess the object, and they quarreled with each other, and finally they decided to break down the 'surging blood essence' and divide it into five parts, namely the four gems on it, and the bare metal ring. These five items are the Healing Ring, the Void Gem, the Energy Gem, the Essence Gem, and the Vitality Gem. ”

"Damn, it's a good thing, what's the use of dismantling it?" The old evil couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly: "What a bunch of losers!"

"No, no, don't look at these five things separately, but they all have their own wonderful uses, the Healing Ring can increase all healing magic by one level, the Void Gem can speed up the recovery of magic by double, the Energy Gem can directly increase the upper limit of the magician's magic power by about 30%, the Vitality Gem increases the upper limit of mental power by 30%! The Essence Gem not only increases the upper limit of magic by about 20%, but also increases the upper limit of mental power by 20%. Kriston explained: "And the Ring of Perseverance in this auction is a re-inlay of the Ring of Healing and the Void Gem, which not only retains the original caste of the two things, but also adds one more, that is, it can accelerate the recovery of mental power, that is, the person who wears the Ring of Tenacity can always feel energetic and not tired." ”
