The long night finally passed, and the day fell.

Daytime, early in the morning.

Almost as soon as it was dawn again, Richard heard a knock outside the courtyard door—a careful knock.

After two "bangs", there was a long pause before there were two "bangs" again.

"Your Excellency Richard?" said Gro's voice, as if he had been choked by the throat.

"Huh?" Richard walked out the door, walked to the courtyard gate, and opened the door.

With a "squeak", Gro subconsciously shrank to the side, and after seeing that it was Richard, he looked at the courtyard gate with some anxiety, and whispered to Richard as if he had a psychological shadow: "Richard...... Your Excellency, the ...... What about Pandora?"

"Sleeping. Richard said.

"Whew, that's good. Gro breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is there anything wrong?" asked Richard, opening the door wide and beckoning, "Come into the room." ”

"Well, no, no, just say it here. Gro waved his hand.

"That's fine. Richard glanced at Gro helplessly and asked, "What do you have to say?" ”

"I'll cut it short. "I came to you this time, mainly for two things, one is that the wizard of the White Rock Tower has arrived last night - well, it really is. The other thing is that the 'rumors' of the 'exemption certificate' have been confirmed – and it is true.

There were three 'exemption certificates' that had been transported from Newburgh to Cuijin City by an unlucky caravan last night. The wizards of the White Stone Tower have confirmed that as long as they have the 'exemption certificate', whether they have wizarding talent or not, even if they are fools or disabled, they can pass the test and board the ship to the mainland. ”

"So?" Richard's eyes flashed.

"So......" Groh said up, "the 'Exemption Voucher' will be auctioned off at the auction this morning, so I think you'll be there, right?"

"Uh......" Richard responded, the expression on his face was not too eager, and he said lightly with raised eyebrows, "I would like to know more about the reaction of the wizards of the White Rock Tower to their deaths after they arrived?" and...... What is the reason for the exemption certificate? Why, as soon as the people from the White Stone Tower arrived, the interview certificate came? Where was the original source of the exemption certificate, and how did it get from Newburgh to here?"

"Well, this ......" Gro was stunned and shook his head, "this...... I really don't even know. ”

"Don't know anything?"

"I don't know at all. Gro confessed, "What you asked has nothing to do with boarding a ship to the mainland, so I never cared." ”

"Okay......"

"Anyway......," Groh looked at Richard and couldn't help but ask again, "By the way, Your Excellency Richard, do you want to participate in the auction? This time, because of the auction of the 'exemption certificate', the auction is definitely very lively, and there should be a lot of other precious things to be auctioned." Of course, the most important thing is the exemption certificate. Aren't you going to board a ship to the mainland, this is a rare opportunity......"

"Uh......" Richard thought for a moment, then finally nodded, "Then let's participate." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you. Gro said, turned around and left.

Under the protection of the guards, Gro boarded the carriage and frowned slightly. I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always feels that Richard seems to be lacking in interest in the so-called "exemption certificate".

This......

......

More than an hour later.

"Squeak squeak", under the protection of numerous guards, a luxurious carriage drove down the street, finally stopping in front of a tall building.

Richard and Gro stepped out of the carriage.

After waiting for a few more moments, the carriage shook, and Pandora rubbed her eyes and yawned and jumped out of the carriage, grabbed Richard's hand, and followed her half-asleep to the building.

Anyway, lately Pandora has been sleeping longer and longer.

Originally, Richard only thought that this was Pandora's way of getting bored and killing time. But gradually, I realized that this might be caused by some kind of change in Pandora's body.

Is it about development?

Richard thought about it, and looked up at the building in front of him, and found that the whole building was three stories high, and there were many decorative reliefs on the outer walls, which looked very ornate. The twelve marble pillars standing in front of the door are even more majestic. Above the main entrance, there is a gilded signboard with the words "Sofuji Auction House" written on it.

Sofuji Auction House!

With a slight squint of eyes, Richard pulled Pandora and walked inside with Gro.

Walking to the door, Richard frowned slightly, and saw a large pool of blood on the ground. Although the blood has coagulated, the appearance of the hair shaft turning black is still a little scary. In particular, the area that covers almost the entire floor of the entrance seems to vividly tell the story of what happened here.

This one......

After seeing Richard's appearance, Gro quickly explained: "This was done by several people from the noble family last night. ”

"Why?"

Gro explained in detail: "You don't know, for the exemption certificate, many families in Emerald Gold City went crazy last night and sent troops to rob it. In the middle of the night, the outside of the city was a battlefield of fighting. The wooden box containing three "exemption certificates" changed more than ten masters in a row, and in the end they even rushed to the Emerald Gold City, and the blood in front of this door was left by them.

Later, it was my eldest brother who saw that they were too disagreeable, and used a lot of people to maintain order, and warned all the families before they barely calmed down. And the thing is sent to the auction house and ready to be auctioned. ”

"Is that so......" Richard's eyes flashed, and he walked towards the door of the auction house, but suddenly heard a faint whisper.

"All dead...... "Humane.

Richard turned his head and saw a young man in tattered clothes curled up in a corner not far from the entrance of the auction, his eyes blank and empty, looking at the air from time to time, constantly muttering to himself: "It's all dead...... All dead...... They're all dead......"

What is this again?

Gro glanced at it, pouted and said to Richard, "This is just an unlucky bastard, a guy from the merchant group who took the bad luck and was responsible for transporting the 'exemption certificate' to Emerald Gold City. Their merchant group took over the business, thinking that they were going to make a lot of money, but they didn't expect that too many people were eyeing the 'test-free certificate', and they were constantly attacked along the way, and then they were almost killed in an ambush.

Only this guy ran out with a box containing the 'exemption certificate', thinking of asking for help, but the people he met were all ghostly, which made him collapse directly, and finally became like this. The people at the auction house didn't know what to do with him, so they simply left him here and left him to fend for himself. I think he's going to be a beggar. Poor!"

Gro said pitiful, but he didn't really look pitiful.

Richard glanced at the other party and didn't say anything more.

But at this moment, Pandora, who was half-asleep and holding Richard's hand, opened her eyes wide and looked at each other.
