227 Everything is under control
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The precious petal was placed in a delicate glass bottle and preserved by the druids using a natural magic. There is nothing surprising about the shape and color, and there will be no illusory phenomenon of fragrant bursts of aura overflowing and unimpeded meridians. However, it is still a treasure that all mages will grab, a necessary ingredient for several high-level magic potions.
This time, it was not the middle-aged auctioneer who presided over the auction, but a middle-aged man in leather boots and breeches and neatly dressed. On his chest, he is embroidered with a coat of arms with a cross and checkered pattern indicating his family history in the southwestern region of the empire.
Only aristocrats were able to embroider such a family crest on their clothes, so the identity of the middle-aged man was already revealed: the owner of the Chamber of Commerce, Ariante. Morality. Baron Lavalredi.
The baron's long brown end, curly, is the aristocratic men's type that is very popular in Ferreton today. The expensive wax is not only fragrant, but even the guests sitting in the first row can smell it, and it makes his appearance oily and smooth, which is particularly eye-catching under the illumination of magic lights.
"First of all, thank you for coming to this auction. If you are not satisfied with the items on display at the auction, go home empty-handed. Then you are welcome to take away the snacks and drinks on the table. β
There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
Although the Count of Lavaletti was not outstanding in appearance, he spoke naturally and generously, calmly and confidently, and was quite charming and middle-aged.
However, Gordon is not a girl controlled by an uncle, his index finger gently taps rhythmically on the round table, making a "stomping" sound, patiently waiting for the final show.
"I think all decent gentlemen and ladies here know that, as the master of the Lavaretti Chamber of Commerce, I have a rather bad interest - watching the duel. Whether it's a bloody bite between fighting dogs, or a dazzling battle between two swordsmanship masters. Or the cute girls writhing and tearing like cats, it all makes me feel excited and happy. So as is customary, I'm going to have a duel in Blue Water City. The prize is the most valuable item in tonight's auction - pink zinnia petals! β
When Baron Lavaletti announced his decision, the guests attending the auction were in an uproar.
Especially Asalam.
The Earl of Thompson's magic advisor was pale, and his heart was constantly gnawed away by the demons of remorse. He knew that he was determined to get the pink petals, and in the end it was actually used as a duel trophy, he shouldn't have withdrawn from the battle for the staff of Nether just now in order to reserve enough money!
Asalan really wants to cast a time stop. Then go and grab the staff of Nether.
Although the pink petals are very precious, there are six auction items of the same value at tonight's auction. Moreover, Baron Lavaletti never revealed in advance which auction item was the duel reward. So Asalan must prepare in advance. You can't run out of money. But this time, however, the baron chose what he most desired as the reward for the duel......
Asalan felt as if the whole world was working against him tonight. It feels terrible.
I just don't know, what is the specific content of this duel? If it's a spell battle or something. Then the hope of winning yourself. It's big enough.
"The content of the duel that determines the ownership of the pink petals this time is the golem battle." Before Baron Lavaletti was announced, Gordon said like a prophet.
"How do you know?" Faria glanced at the mage curiously.
"Because, everything is under control." Gordon raised his left hand and grabbed the void, as if he had pinched it all in his hand.
"Metal-to-metal collision! Giants vs. Giants Battle! The embodiment of the highest arcane skill! I announce. The content of the duel that determines the ownership of this pink petal is the Golem Battle! β
As if confirming Gordon's prophecy, Baron Lavaletti made an impassioned announcement from the stage.
"You see, I'm not wrong."
Faria stopped talking. Because she knows. Unless Gordon himself wanted to, this abominable mage would never tell him what was going on.
Seeing that the Grand Duke's daughter was silent, just looking straight at herself, with a faint accumulation of anger in her beautiful blue eyes, Gordon knew that she couldn't sell Guan Zi anymore. It's scary for a woman to get angry. If that woman had Orlandos barbarian blood and silver dragon blood, it would be even more terrifying.
Actually, things are very simple. Gordon just used the "relationship" that the Chinese people value most.
As the owner of a large chamber of commerce, Baron Lavaletti will inevitably deal with the rulers of the city if he wants to hold a grand auction in the city of Clear Water, such as the lord of the city, Count Julian, and the owner of the entire province of Far Frost, Rob. Grand Duke Antelo.
And coincidentally, Gordon has a good relationship with the two adults.
As the helmsman of the entire Northland, the Lord of Wands is concerned about major matters such as cults, demons, and orc invasions all day long, and he has no time to take care of a small baron merchant, but when it comes to preparing healing potions for Sheona, the situation is different.
Yesterday Gordon found the Lord of Wands and explained the situation, and immediately had a plan.
That night, in the name of the lord of the city, Count Julian, a reception was held to invite many nobles and wealthy merchants in the city of Blue Water, and Baron Lavaletti was naturally on the invitation list. Or rather, the reception was for Baron Lavalredi.
At the reception, Count Julien, the lord of the city, who received the order of the Grand Duke, revealed intentionally or unintentionally in a casual conversation with Baron Lavaletti that when he traveled to the Borodosas Peninsula in the past, he had the privilege of observing the scene of the duel between the halfling mages on the island with golems. Count Julien, who is very eloquent, depicts the scene of two metal giants who combine arcane and engineering forging into one, and fight to the flesh, which is vivid and thrilling. Baron Lavalredi's heart pounded when he heard this.
In addition, Count Julian hinted that many of the bigwigs of the Northlands, including the Lord of Wands, were interested in the new and advanced sport of golem duel.
So today, Baron Lavaletti really chose to use the Golem duel to decide the final ownership of the pink petals, as Gordon expected.
If the Lord of Wands comes forward to sue Baron SΓΉ Lavaletti in person, I want your pink petals, sell them to me. With the might of the Grand Duke, Baron Lavallet would certainly agree. But while this would have served its purpose, it would have tarnished the reputation of the Grand Duke, and it would have offended Baron Lavalredi, and would have a bad effect on the entire aristocratic circle.
And according to Gordon's method, a small hint, a little innocuous lie, would have made Baron Lavaletti act according to his own ideas. Now the baron, who was excited on the stage, probably fantasized that because of this golem duel, he would be able to get in touch with the Lord of Scepters because of this golem duel.
This is the right way to use rights and relationships.
"You induced Baron Lavaletti to choose the duel as a golem fight, which shows that you are confident that you will win in the end. But I still have a question, how sure can you be that Baron Lavaletti will make pink petals a duel reward? β
"It's easy, Faria. Only mages can own and control golems, and in this auction, only pink petals are the most desired item for mages. In order to attract a sufficient number of mages with a certain level of proficiency to participate in the Golem Duel, he can only set the pink petals as the dueling reward. β
Faria listened to Gordon's eloquent conversation, and her heart was finally convinced. She looked at the confident young mage beside her, and suddenly felt that her previous view of men was a little narrow. A calm tone, a coherent conversation, eyes that sparkle with wisdom, or body language that is always full of confidence...... The mage beside her, who she had always thought was synonymous with weakness and thinness, was actually very attractive......
The girl next to her seemed to be staring at her all the time, and Gordon asked, "What's wrong?" β
"I didn't ...... Nothing ......" Faria quickly turned her face to the side, her eyes wandering around, as if she didn't want Gordon to see her slightly hot cheeks.
Gordon couldn't care about Faria at this time. This is because Baron Lavaletti has already begun to register guests who wish to participate in the Pink Petal Contest.
"Gordon. Baron Freeman, Master of the Four Rings. β
"Noted down. Tomorrow at Platinum Square, at ten o'clock in the morning, the Golem duel officially begins. Break a leg. Baron Lavaletti personally wrote down Gordon's name.
"Asalan. Delmavic, the six-ring mage. β
"Oh, you're the highest-ranking of all the participants. Master Asalan, you have great hopes. β
Baron Lavalredi's raised voice made the mages around him who had signed up for the golem battle frown slightly, and their faces showed a sad look. Most of these mages are four-ring mages of the same advanced level, with five rings at most. Now a six-ring mage suddenly appeared, obviously a strong enemy.
Some even felt that there was little hope of victory, and could not defeat Asalam, and went to Baron Lavaletti to withdraw from the duel.
If you don't win and you damage your golem, it will be more than worth the loss.
"Baron Freeman, you're really interested in that pink petal. It looks like tomorrow we're going to have a good fight. Hopefully your golem will last a little longer. Asalan said to Gordon in a condescending tone.
He has the confidence to do so.
Golems are not children's iron-clad toys. Not only must you have profound arcane attainments, but you also need to have a rich family background to be able to create a golem with qualified combat effectiveness. In Asalan's opinion, the mages who decided to participate in the duel tonight were especially the one who didn't know the height of the sky and only had the arcane attainments of the four rings. Freeman is no match for himself at all.
"Tomorrow in the Dragon God Square, I will not show mercy." Gordon replied. (To be continued!)
