Linus Castle is the capital of the Grand Duchy of Starnik, a city founded by Nikola Jonathan, a legendary knight nicknamed the Dragonman.

More than 100 years ago, the city was named after San Jonathan.

After the rule of the Jonathan family was overthrown, it was renamed Linus City.

The current Linus Castle is home to a population of 200,000.

The vicinity of the capital is densely populated and is considered the most developed area of the Grand Duchy of Starnik. The entire county of Linas has a combined population of more than one million.

Richard and the others handed in the customs clearance papers, paid the poll tax, and then rented a sizable inn outside the city walls.

Looking at the scale of Richard and the others, it must be a large caravan, and the owner of the inn deliberately said a few more words.

Through the innkeeper's mouth, Richard learned that a few days later, there was an auction at Linus Castle.

The threshold for the auction is high, the assets need to be inspected in advance, and only the hereditary nobles can get tickets to the auction.

According to rumors, the items auctioned in this auction are mainly the property of a seven-ring magician.

The magician once settled in Ivan Castle in the Divine Radiant Empire, and only returned to his hometown of the Grand Duchy of Starnik in his old age to serve as a royal court baron.

The old mage who had returned from Fort Ivan, who had no children in his life, and the knowledge and wealth he left behind after his death fell into the hands of a distant relative.

Without extraordinary power, the old mage's relatives cannot control the old mage's legacy.

Therefore, this relative of the old mage decided to hold an auction in the royal capital, and after the auction was completed, half of the gold coins obtained would be handed over to the royal family in exchange for the protection of the royal family.

This old mage is a starlight mage with astrology in his lineage.

Astrology is a type of prophetic spell that contains mystical powers and is very difficult to learn to listen to Sophia.

In addition, the old mage's notes also recorded many spells, and wrote down very valuable experiences. Even the experimental records left behind are very valuable to the magician.

For the great nobles, the lowest value is a few pieces of magical equipment.

Although he had 20,000 gold coins in his hand, meditation methods, astrology, mage notes, and experiment records, Richard estimated that it would be difficult to grab them, and it was worth the trip to be able to pick up a piece of magical equipment.

Several countries close to the Orc Empire are traditionally magical deserts.

I missed this opportunity, and I don't know when I'll be able to buy a nice piece of magic equipment.

The auction also alarmed the big man in the Duke of Fox, a man named John Fox, the younger brother of the Duke of Fox and a five-ring magician.

I heard that some nobles from the Kingdom of Grant came to Linus City, and they also met Richard in person.

The meaning of the words is that he hopes that Richard will not compete with him for the experimental records left by the old mage.

It seems that this magician of the Fox family is very self-aware, and knows that the most precious knowledge of the old mage will definitely be in the hands of the great nobles of Stanic, so he has set his goal on the experiment record with the lowest value.

Before the auction, Richard handed over the family badge, moved a box of gold coins to complete the capital verification, and sat next to John Fox.

There were not many nobles participating in the auction, and there were only more than 60 in total, of which more than a dozen were foreign nobles.

There are four nobles in the Kingdom of Grant.

In addition to Richard and John Fox, there is also a distant branch of the royal family, who serves as an ambassador in the Grand Duchy of Starnik, and the other is a border nobleman, a vassal of Duke Fox, who rushed over to join in the fun and increase his experience after hearing the news.

When the auction starts, the first lot to auction is the astrological inheritance.

As soon as it came up, it was the finale item, which made the atmosphere of the auction very lively. Soon the price exceeded 10,000 gold coins, and there were only four or five big nobles competing for it.

As if they had discussed it in advance, these great nobles won a set of astrology with a few bids and five hundred gold coins.

Although Richard was rich, he didn't dare to take food at this time.

He is still in other people's territory, and if he offends the great nobles in Linus City, he will not be able to cross the border at all.

Richard disappeared in the Grand Duchy of Starnik, could he still count on the Kingdom of Grant to avenge him? 、

Richard was just a hereditary baron, and he didn't have that much face. Even if the prince of the Grant Kingdom dies in the Grand Duchy of Starnik, it is estimated that the two countries will not go to war.

Before participating in the auction, Richard knew that anything of high value could not be touched, let alone greedy.

The second lot was the Mage's Notes, which, like the astrology tradition, was sold for 12,000 after a few bids by several nobles.

Then there was the meditation method, and Duke Shelly personally raised the card, and the auction price was only 10,000.

The last mage experiment record was the least valuable, and the number of people holding the cards was higher, and the price was a high of 16,000 gold coins.

John Fox, who was sitting next to Richard, succeeded in taking ownership.

On the Dawn Continent, inheritance and knowledge are often the most precious, and if Richard and Sophia are willing to auction off the results of their bloodline research, they can also exchange them for a good sum of money.

The heavyweight auction items were sold off at the beginning, and the rest of the items were of average value.

The main ones are some antiques, a few of which are left over from the Age of the Seven Gods, and they were sold for a few hundred gold coins.

One of the vase antiques actually gave Richard a sense of familiarity. The shape is like a Qing Dynasty porcelain vase in the previous life, and Richard has not seen porcelain in the Dawn Continent. Very surprised by this, he walked up to take a closer look, and found that there were a lot of Chinese characters densely burned on it.

These characters are written so small that they can barely be seen with a magnifying glass.

Seeing the familiar Chinese characters, Richard was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

After years of experience, his city has become very unusual, forcibly suppressed the abnormality, and then quietly bought this antique left by the Seven Gods Era for two hundred gold coins.

In the end, the finale of a few pieces of magic equipment, because there were too many people vying for it, Richard felt that it was not cost-effective, so he did not bid.

After paying the gold coins and getting the antiques, Richard quietly returned to the hotel.

The porcelain vase glows with blue light, and under the light of the candlelight, it exudes a special luster, which looks a little dazzling.

Ordinary magic equipment can be used as long as it is perceived with mental power.

And using spiritual power to perceive the bottle of starlight is like a mud cow entering the sea, as if it were an ordinary antique.

He pulled out his magnifying glass and read the words carefully.

Through the words engraved on it, Richard knew that this porcelain vase was called the Starlight Vase, and it was a space magic equipment.
