In the early morning of September 30, twenty hours before the auction of the United Chamber of Commerce was about to begin, an inconspicuous carriage slowly drove from the east.

The carriages are not decorated with luxury, and the horses are by no means expensive thoroughbreds, and in general, there are very few such shabby carriages in the undercurrent of the Dark City.

But what shocked it was the two teams of tall knights who were guarded by it in wide robes, embroidered with the white sail emblem of the Church of the Elemental Winds, and their horses were the most famous Ulm horses in the western steppes of the Wessex Empire, the only powerful country in the neighborhood.

Under the moonlight, a wavy line loomed on the chest of the bright armor hidden in the black robes, and there was no doubt that the identity of these church knights who could ride Ulm military horses and had wavy lines tattooed on the chest of their armor was not difficult to guess, and it was the Resurrectionist Guardian Regiment of the Grand Diocese of Tasylvania, the elite.

The carriage may seem slow, but it is not slow.

Gloria, the leader of the ascetics of the Church of Cardinal Saint Laurent in the southwest, and the seventy-sixth "wall-facer", sat in a carriage, and if it were not for the urgency of the situation, she would never have been willing to walk this way comfortably in the chariot, as a believer in the goddess of the winds of recovery, she should have patrolled the territory for God step by step, taking care of his followers, and letting the wind of hope shine on the wider land.

It's a pity that Orleans used magic to send a message to Bishop Tacoman Ronia, saying that the situation in the Dark City was unstable and hoped that he could send someone to help, and Gloria also chose to agree to Tacoman's request to leave the church of Saint Laurent that had been held for more than 30 years and appear in the wizarding realm.

Along with her, there was also Ellis, a fourth-level pharmacist from the Hemnita Institute of Pharmacy, who had come to track down the two precious magic potions, and by the way, spent a few years of "vacation" here

"The city gates are closed day and night, and the roads are full of traffic and people."

Gloria looked at the grand scene in front of her and couldn't help but sigh: "Maybe it won't take a hundred years for a second and eleventh super city on the Norman Rhine continent to appear." At that time, whose world is this? ”

There was no one who didn't know the resuscitator knights of the brightly colored angry horses, and the news of the arrival of the church messenger soon reached the ears of those who cared like long legs.

Gloria and his entourage went straight to the South End, and the Bishop of Orleans had been looking forward to it.

Seeing the visitor, Orleans lifted his spirits, and he did not hide his joy, without the majesty of a bishop, and said respectfully: "Lord Gloria, Orleans is incompetent, disturbing your cultivation." ”

"Bishop, wait a minute, without further ado, ask Ellis to track down the whereabouts of the potion immediately." Instead of greeting the Bishop of Orleans, Gloria got straight to the point, as the leader of the contemporary ascetics in the shadow of the Saint-Laurent Church, the seventy-sixth Wall-Facing One, she was qualified to be above everyone except the Bishop.

Moreover, because ascetics follow the principles of abstinence, asceticism, and abstinence, and never interfere in religious affairs, the parish priest and even the bishop of any church want to be able to enshrine an ascetic to sit in charge, who can not only provide the most powerful military guarantee for the church, but also a living signboard to attract more believers.

Therefore, Orleans not only did not feel wrong, but also said more respectfully: "I am tired of the carriage and horses all the way, please let me serve you to rest first." ”

Gloria shook her head and said, "If you don't need my help, send someone to lead me to the chanting room, and it won't be long before it's time to do my morning work, and I have to make up for the homework I missed on the way as soon as possible." ”

"Honesty is like you, may the goddess bless you." Orleans looked respectful.

Ellis opened his mouth, but said nothing. He followed the wall-facing Lord all the way, clearly knowing that this Lord had not fallen behind in a single lesson, and listened to her recite the scriptures all the way, and even took him to be a lot more devout to the goddess.

The piety of ascetics is indeed incomprehensible to them.

After Gloria left, Orleans apologized to Ellis: "You shouldn't have worked so hard, but time is pressing, they have to hold an auction tonight, and I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Ellis clearly felt that although Orleans was also polite to him, he vaguely regained the bearing of a bishop, and his kind words contained a tone that could not be refused, smiled, and said, "It's okay, it's just doing things for Lord Ronia." Hearing Lord Ronia, it was the vassal forces of the Wizarding Society, and they even blatantly took out the stolen goods for auction? ”

Orleans nodded grimly.

Ellis said, "Well, I need the most detailed map of the Dark City, dried red orchid flowers, and a quiet and enclosed space. ”

"No problem, I'll have someone prepare." After speaking, Orleans personally took him to a deep chanting room,

Ellis untied his backpack and took out two glass bottles, one large and one small, the larger one was a transparent round-bellied glass bottle with a narrow top and a wide bottom, and the bottle was filled with a bottle of blue fine sand; The small one is a test tube fired with crimson stained glass, and the mouth of the test tube is isolated with breathable gauze, and there is a rustling sound when you pick it up.

Soon, a priest acolyte brought all the items, and Ellis began casting spells.

I saw him lay the brand-new one-meter-square map on the ground, and the smooth leather map detailed every block, alleyway, and house number of every house in the Dark City.

At this time, Ellis picked up the large round-bellied bottle, poured out the blue sand inside, and spread it evenly on the map.

Accidentally catching a glimpse of the Bishop of Orleans who was preoccupied with more dedication than him, Ellis smiled and opened his mouth to ease the tension, "There are countless ways to track soul breath on the mainland, and there are more than ten in our pharmacy school alone. What I'm going to do now is the 'Anchor Tracking Method', which is to track the wizard's location as an anchor point in the demarcated area.

"The advantage of this method is that the search range is small, the difficulty of casting the spell is low, and even the awakened person who has just mastered the spiritual power can cast it, but it must require the caster to delineate the exact area to take effect, in other words, if the two bottles of potion of the United Chamber of Commerce are not from Master Richard, the anchor tracking method will not work."

The Bishop of Orleans also realized that the other party was deliberately relieving the tension in his heart, and couldn't help but have a good impression of Ellis, and said: "Don't worry, although I didn't grasp the knight to contact the five major families, but when the matter came, they blew themselves up, I don't believe that there will be such a coincidence in the world." ”

Ellis shrugged his shoulders and asked, "What does the Bishop want to do when he finds out?" ”

Orleans looked fierce, but said nothing.

Ellis shrugged his shoulders again, and after spreading the blue sand evenly, he picked up the crimson test tube and gently pulled out the thread that tied the gauze. Move the tube to the location of the Chapel of the First Light, and then the mouth of the bottle is downward.

A red-fleshed beetle fell onto the blue sand, two long tentacles like antennas, exploring around, and then quickly began to move.

Seeing this, Ellis smiled and said, "The bishop is really right, Master Richard's work is indeed in the city." This spirit seeker insect can sense all the soul breath that has been devoured within twenty kilometers, and after special training, it can help the owner to track down the designated item, and it has devoured the soul breath of every pharmacist in the research institute to find ......"

Ellis was pleasantly surprised.

I saw that the crimson soul seeker insect stopped at one part of the map, and the place where it crawled left a straight line, from the First Light Cathedral to the joint auction hall in the first block of the North District.

Getting the answer, Orleans' face became even more gloomy, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Hard, Ellis Apothecary's dispensing room is ready, and someone will take you over to rest later." ”

Ellis also knew that Orleans was now on the verge of going berserk, so he didn't care about his coldness, and replied, "If you have something to do, go first, and I'll be ready to work as long as the materials are ready." ”

He didn't really come here for a vacation, but to help the Southwest Diocese Overseer Tacoman Ronia's faction earn energy stones, otherwise a fourth-level pharmacist who could casually earn 100,000 a month would not have traveled thousands of miles to come because of this trivial matter.

"Thank you."

Leaving the chanting room, Orleans returned to the back hall and said to the attendants, "Go and call Karen." ”

……

First Block, Joint Auction House, 8 p.m.

This is the first auction held by the United Chamber of Commerce, but it is the second auction of the Dark City.

The first time it was rumored that the Dark City was going to hold an auction was last month, and the kamikaze chamber of commerce in the southern district had ambitiously prepared a lot of rare magic materials and priceless talent recipe potions, ready to make the name of the kamikaze chamber of commerce an instant hit.

Who knew that at the end of the month, the caravan of the Chamber of Commerce was intercepted and killed, and not only did all the goods disappear, but even the two ascetics and the knights of the Guardian Order on the road were all dead, this tragedy was really appalling. And that auction was also canceled unsurprisingly, and the kamikaze chamber of commerce's reputation between the two cities plummeted.

On the contrary, the United Chamber of Commerce successfully held an auction quietly, which is really eye-catching.

Clear-eyed people know that there is a shadow of the United Chamber of Commerce behind the last incident in which the Kamikaze Chamber of Commerce was intercepted and killed, but they never expected that the five major families had reached such a point that they dared to take out the thieves' stolen goods for auction openly, which was really lustful and lawless.

Is it because the forces of all parties participating in the auction, in addition to wanting to compete for the two bottles of sixth-level elixir, more importantly, still want to see the reaction of the Kamikaze Chamber of Commerce and even the Bishop of Orleans behind it, whether the other party can really bear this breath and let the United Chamber of Commerce step on the top of the Kamikaze Chamber of Commerce?

There was a huge crowd in front of the main entrance of the auction hall, and Herman and the others slowly squeezed in with the crowd, until the dull crowding on the second floor disappeared.

"The private room is not big, so everyone sits separately." Pilson Road.

"Okay."

The others didn't have an opinion, and Herman knew that he was actually afraid that if everyone fell in love with a treasure later, it would be embarrassing to be in the same private room and hurt the feelings between the brothers, so he took William and Barron into the private room to which he belonged.

It didn't take long for a beautiful figure and excellent appearance to walk on the circular stage in a bright red tight long dress, and as soon as she spoke, everyone was attracted by her charming voice that made people feel a little numb, the beautiful woman seemed to be delicate and weak, but in fact she was capable, and she said a few opening words with a smile and announced the official start of the auction.

A piece of treasure that is worth a lot of money in itself continues to break through the original price ceiling in the charming voice of women.

Herman sat upright, while William and Barron lay on the guardrail in spite of their image, staring at the beautiful woman on the stage with burning eyes, and laughing unscrupulously that if he could sleep with her, he would be willing to live a few years less, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes. His eyes swept to the stage again, looking at the plump and delicate charming curves of the woman in the red dress, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of heat in his heart.

Thinking that if Andrei's kid was here, the three of them would definitely be able to talk.
