Chapter 5 Under the Auction
In front of the railing of the box, Count Auro bowed deeply to the audience, and said with a seemingly humble attitude: "I'm really sorry, because this thing is so important to Master Fitzlock, so I am determined to get it." He paused, and said in an accentuated tone, "I think, distinguished gentlemen and ladies, you will not deliberately interfere with the master's promotion to the rank of saint constructor. ”
The threat of these words was already very strong, and many nobles did not speak despite their dissatisfaction, and the heart of the mountain lord was not an indispensable item for them, and the cost of offending Fitzlock for this was indeed a bit great.
Although the host was not satisfied, there was nothing he could do about Ou Ruo, Count Ou Ruo was not only Fitzlock's agent, but also a Heavenly Sanctuary, and he was also a constructor who could make a third-order construct.
Seeing that the audience was quiet, Count Ou Ruo smiled proudly, turned around and sat on the high-backed chair, and rested his feet directly on the railing of the box, this action was simply contempt for the audience, maybe in Ou Ruo's mind, Fizlock became a saint constructor.
The host raised his voice at this time and asked, "The heart of the mountain lord, is there anyone else bidding?" ”
There was silence in the auction room.
Count Oruo sneered and said, "Why bother, I don't believe anyone would dare to get along with Master Fitzlock" This time he lowered his voice, but it was still enough for at least half of the audience to hear.
The host of the auction had a flash of anger on his face, and then he returned to normal, and said in a gentle and pleasant voice: "Again, there is no one to bid." ”
Before she could finish speaking, she heard a gentle voice say, "Two top sacrifices." ”
Richard's voice was gentle and pleasant, but it was particularly harsh in the silence of the auction room, and to Count Orow, it was a resounding slap in the face.
He jumped up from his seat, swept the box with a vicious gaze, then stared at Richard, and said word for word, "You want to be the enemy of Master Fitzlock," he said. ”
Richard said lightly: "This is the auction venue, if you can't afford to bid, get out, don't just shout here." ”
"You" Ou Ruo's eyes turned red in an instant, and he was so angry that he almost immediately pounced and killed this kid who didn't know what to do, but he finally had a glimmer of sense, and he didn't do anything in such a place.
He held the hand of the railing, tightened it, and in the host's extremely dissatisfied gaze, he pinched and deformed the cast iron railing, Ou Ruo suddenly sneered, and said: "Do you want to compare your wealth with a great constructor, okay, I'll see how much money you have, increase the price, two top sacrifices, and add another million." ”
"Two million. Richard's voice remained calm.
"Three million. ”
"Five million. ”
The bidding came and went, compared with Richard's consistent indifference, Ou Ruo's voice became more and more excited, and the discerning person knew at a glance that the current price was close to Ou Ruo's bottom line.
The price on the field has indeed reached an outrageous level, and it is no wonder that Ou Ruo will lose his temper.
Even Romdok moved, a little uneasy, and whispered to Richard: "Your Highness, this price is a little too high, you have to be careful, Ou Ruo is setting a trap for you." ”
Richard replied softly, "No." ”
As a Holy Constructor, Richard was very aware of the special value of the Mountain Lord's Heart, this item could indeed be used as the core material for the fifth-order construction, and it could even become the core material for the super-fifth-order construction.
In this context, I believe that Fitzlock will definitely go all out and will not let go of this great opportunity.
Richard casually quoted a new price and went out, and then said to Lomdok: "How could Fitzlock use such an agent, this is almost to offend everyone." ”
The agent of the royal family saw that Richard was still relaxed, and his expression relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Fitzlock is originally extremely arrogant and rude, and there are not many people in the empire who have not offended, but there are several fourth-order constructs, and only he can do it, so many people choose to endure, Fitzlock is not really stupid, he can also distinguish who can offend and who can't provoke, in addition, Ou Ruo is a person who has strength in his own right, and he is the younger brother of his favorite lover, so he will naturally be more arrogant." ”
Richard felt two sword-like gazes fall on him, but said indifferently: "It seems that Ou Ruo thinks that Fitzlock will inevitably be promoted to the Holy Constructor, so he has no scruples, right, plus another ten million." ”
This price was obviously about to break Ou Ruo's nerves, and his entire upper body fell out of the railing, staring at Richard, and said in a cold voice: "What kind of thing are you, dare to grab something from me." ”
Richard didn't look at Ou Ruo, but just nodded to the host.
So after the silence time was up, the host began to ask if there were still bidders, and asked three times according to the rules, and the lot was settled.
Oru's face turned extremely ugly, and he turned to look at Lomdoc and asked, "Your Excellency, does it mean that the Imperial Family is also supporting this fool?" ”
Lomdoc was not an ordinary nobleman, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and then he stood up, first bowed to the audience, and then turned to Oro and said, "Lord Earl, please pay attention to your words, even if Master Fitzlock really becomes a Holy Constructor, I believe that he will never tolerate any insult to the Imperial Family." ”
Ou Ruo was speechless for a moment, opened his mouth, his face rose to purple red, and he immediately said viciously: "Add another 12 million." ”
This price has far exceeded the accepted value of the Mountain Lord's Heart, which shows that Fitzlock is indeed determined to get it, and Oruo's arrogant sentence of 'dare to compare wealth with the Great Constructor' is indeed more than bragging.
It's a pity that Ou Ruo met Richard, an alternative.
"Three top offerings. Richard remained calm.
This price jump completely crushed Ou Ruo, and he shouted: "You can't afford to pay this price, a liar." ”
Richard remained seated, while Romdok nodded to the host.
In the eyes of the aristocracy, the meaning of this little gesture was obvious: Lomdok was endorsing the unfamiliar young man, guaranteeing that he would indeed have the means to pay the price he had put out.
At this moment, the nobles were suddenly surprised and curious, and they whispered their words, guessing which big man this unfamiliar face would be the agent of the big man.
The three top-level sacrifices, even the top-level giants, will not be thrown out casually, and for most people, the Heart of the Mountain Lord is precious and rare, but it is really not worth the price in terms of the use they have mastered.
The host's voice asking about the bid echoed in the hall, and Ou Ruo's face turned red, he really couldn't call for a higher price, but he knew very well what the Mountain Lord's Heart meant to Fitzlock.
He stared at Richard like a red-eyed bull with bloodshot eyes, and said word by word: "You are sure that you are going to be the enemy of Master Fitzlock, and it is still too late to withdraw the offer." ”
Richard smiled slightly and said, "According to the rules, if I withdraw the offer, I will be deducted one-third of the offer as a punishment, which is a top sacrifice." ”
Ou Ruo thought that Richard was weak, so he sneered and said, "This is the punishment you deserve for your indiscriminate bidding." ”
Richard smiled and said, "I still say the same thing: get out of the way if you don't have any money." ”
"You're looking for death. Ou Ruo roared, drew his sword, and instantly crossed the auction hall and pounced on Richard, he had already used all his strength in this blow, and the long sword bloomed with dazzling fighting brilliance, and he actually wanted to kill Richard.
Ou Ruo's own strength was close to that of the Heavenly Rank Sacred Domain, and no one expected that he would actually make a move here, so under the sudden attack, no one could stop him for a while.
Count Lomdok, who was also a swordsman of the Sanctuary, could only stand up, and suddenly felt that his waist was empty, and the sword had fallen into Richard's hand, and then Richard jumped out of the guardrail and met Oru.
Ou Ruo's momentum was like wind and lightning, and many people couldn't see his movements clearly, and there was only a dazzling fighting spirit in his field of vision across the theater.
Richard is graceful and slow, like a fallen leaf rising in the wind, and every turn and movement is clear to people.
However, the real strong man knew that Richard's slowness was just an illusion, because it was such a clearly visible movement that he easily intercepted Ou Ruo and slashed it with a sword unpretentiously.
The tip of Lomdok's saber ignited a brilliant blue fire, and with the swing, it drew a full arc in the air.
At this moment, almost everyone, including Ou Ruo, could no longer see anything else in their eyes, only the beautiful and bewitching blue track, this trajectory, which would make people feel inexplicable, and it seemed that they could not find any adjectives to describe it, but they were shocked by it.
The two legendary powerhouses in the hall suddenly understood, this feeling is perfect, it is at this moment, in this situation, the absolutely perfect sword, not fast, not slow, not light, not heavy, such a sword, how to block.
As soon as they thought of this question, many strong people immediately woke up from their trance and suddenly sweated profusely.
They just happened to see Richard slowly fly into the box, sitting back in his original position as if he had not moved, and an arm flew in the air, still holding a glittering sword at the end, and they suddenly understood that it was Ou Ruo's arm.
There was a faint layer of blue flame burning at the cut of the severed arm, this layer of flame was so faint that it seemed to be extinguished at any time, and it didn't feel burning at all, but its momentum was extremely domineering, and it instantly spread to the entire arm, and even to the quasi-legendary-level long sword.
A piece of blue light flashed, and Ou Ruo's arm directly turned into a fine fly ash, which was instantly blown away by the wind, and the ash was so fine that it was difficult to notice, and the long sword was suddenly twisted and deformed, and was melted into a twisted metal stick, which was completely destroyed.
