Chapter 82 Chapter 82 The Skeleton of the Gods——
This transformation cannot last long.
Su Cheng could feel that the magic power in his body - the magic power input by Camus - was being consumed rapidly.
She had tried it several times before and knew that this state could only last for more than ten minutes, so she had to finish everything during this time.
Whether it is dealing with the dragon bones or escaping from the Jinzhan Palace.
"…Your Highness."
Two waiters came back with a gorgeous dress.
Su Cheng acted as if she was in a bad mood, and no one around dared to disturb her.
Two people died in the box in succession, which obviously meant that things were not going well, and the waiters and guards outside could understand it.
The red-haired woman stood at the door and glanced at them. "...I'm going to check on my shopping."
The waiter leaned forward respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness."
Su Cheng said, pointing to the zither on the ground, "Take this."
After leaving the box and heading towards the back of the auction hall, I met a few young nobles on the way. They came over with shining eyes.
"Your Highness!" one of them said happily, "Did you grab the dragon bone?"
Su Cheng nodded slightly, but still looked unhappy. Those people were sharp-eyed and perceptive, and they also realized that something might not be going well.
They immediately stopped asking questions.
Su Cheng groaned inwardly.
She only needed to look at the family crests on these people to know that they were all warriors of high rank.
——This has always been the case in the imperial aristocratic circles.
The more prestigious the family, the more masters it gathers. Essentially, it is because it is easy for these people to increase their strength, and there are many more convenient ways.
At this moment, if any of them was sensitive to other people's fighting, they might be able to notice that something was wrong with her.
Su Cheng's face became uglier and uglier.
In the eyes of others, this was just a sign that the prince was in a bad mood.
They could also see that her steps were a little unsteady, obviously something bad had happened before.
Because the truth was too outrageous, no one would normally think about it, so they only subconsciously looked at the prince's guards.
The guard shook his head slightly.
He naturally knew what had happened - the person favored by God beside the prince was dead, and Miss Kahn was also dead. The talks must have broken down.
Moreover, the person the prince killed from the Ring of Silence, even though he was just a young man, was also a person who possessed forbidden skills.
So he must still be injured, or even cursed.
The guard said nothing, but showed an attitude that there was something hidden in this matter and you should not ask too many questions. The nobles immediately restrained their expressions and began to speculate secretly.
The backstage area of the store was even quieter. The noise outside gradually faded away. The air was filled with the smell of aged wood and preservatives, and the subtle hum of magical energy could be vaguely heard.
A supervisor came forward respectfully, opened the door of a valuables vault, and unlocked layers of complex protective magic arrays.
The storage vault and the sales platform are connected by a teleportation array, ensuring that the buyer's auction items can be directly transferred.
"Your Highness..."
"This is the largest dragon bone auctioned this time..."
As they spoke, the group stepped into the vault.
In the transparent container carved from magic crystal, the huge dragon skeleton lies quietly.
The dark bones, as black as stone and jade, were illuminated by the light, with fine winding lines running through them, like countless silk threads woven from gold and silver.
They flowed slowly across the bones, seemingly containing some kind of power that could solidify into substance.
An oppressive and suffocating atmosphere spread out from the crystal box, falling heavily on everyone's heart.
Most people looked somewhat uncomfortable.
Only the red-haired woman remained standing straight, and the nobles looked at her with a certain amount of awe in their eyes.
"Even without the test results—"
Su Cheng turned to the Olu family's director, "...Just judging from this aura, it's impossible for him to be a low-grade mixed-race subspecies."
"That's right," the supervisor said with a smile. "If you find everything correct, we'll put the goods into the Cracked Bracelet? Or maybe send it to your residence?"
Su Cheng waved his hand and said, "Put it up first."
The Rift Bracelet is a short-term space item.
Because it is inlaid with some kind of unstable special crystal, it can open a temporary space rift, and the specific capacity can be large or small.
This type of bracelet has a service life, ranging from five or six hours to three or five days. Once the time is exceeded, the crystal will shatter into ashes.
The items inside will fall out.
Because it is a disposable item, the value of this bracelet is much lower than those real space magic tools such as various storage jewelry.
Of course, it is usually worth at least dozens of gold coins and is definitely not something that ordinary people can use at will.
At the auction house, as long as the transaction amount reaches a certain amount, similar items will be given away for free.
Su Cheng watched helplessly as the two items were put into the bracelet.
The supervisor handed the bracelet to her respectfully. She took it and breathed a sigh of relief. She began to think about how to exit, mainly getting rid of these followers.
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard from the auction house above.
This was followed by a series of collapses and explosions, accompanied by people's chaotic screams.
The walls of the warehouse shook violently. In just a few seconds, the dome constructed of solid stone and magic ore had a huge crack like a torn piece of paper.
Dust, rubble and fragments of broken beams and pillars poured down like a rainstorm.
For ordinary people, this was a disaster, but everyone present was full of fighting spirit, so although they were surprised, they were not very scared.
So everyone retreated, and those who couldn't avoid it just punched the falling wall and broke it.
In the gray smoke and dust, the wall pillars collapsed one after another, the cracks at the top became bigger and bigger, and the air was filled with powdery mist and a burnt smell.
Not only that—
The walls on both sides of the vault were completely shattered, revealing several other warehouses around it and the auction hall above.
Like a smashed toy, the entire venue was in shattered pieces, and in the swirling sea of dust, a figure vaguely appeared falling from the sky.
The man stopped in mid-air, his hanging right hand covered with dark green scales, and a dark purple light gathered in his palm.
Millions of jumping arcs of electricity intertwined and merged, compressed into a crackling dark thunder ball.
“…”
The man spoke some obscure language, with an ancient and gloomy atmosphere.
Then just push it forward.
The thunder ball was thrown out and exploded in mid-air. Countless black and purple electric snakes intertwined into a web of death, instantly covering the auction hall.
Violent thunder and lightning roared and spread everywhere, twisted heat waves surged everywhere, and the lightning elves wandered around angrily, looking for targets to devour.
The metal bracket was swept by the electric arc and instantly melted into dripping molten iron, which eroded holes in the glass plate.
The air was filled with a pungent stench, every breath felt like swallowing a steel needle, and the free static electricity could be felt on exposed skin.
Before the guards in the auction hall could react, their weapons were wrapped by electric snakes and a dazzling light suddenly exploded.
The armor on their bodies melted like wax, fusing indistinguishably with their flesh and blood. When the lightning died down, only the charred outlines of human figures remained on the ground.
Several great warriors were killed in an instant, without even being able to use a single combat skill.
Almost every corner of the auction venue and every guest were attacked to varying degrees.
Su Cheng originally wanted to escape during the chaos.
However, the oncoming electric current stopped her. She did not care about exposing her identity and used her fighting spirit to take it head-on. The black fire instantly swallowed up the lightning.
——And no one had the time to pay attention to her. Su Cheng retreated, panting, and threw the burning coat aside, only to see the prince's guard lying on the ground, his limbs already carbonized.
Those nobles were also forced to separate. Some didn't know where to escape to, while others were still dealing with the lightning from a distance.
The attacks they deal with seem more troublesome and difficult to resolve.
Su Cheng thought to himself that these people were higher in warrior rank than him, yet they died faster.
Could it be that these lightning currents that seek out their own targets also prioritize attacking stronger people?
While observing the environment, she ripped off the buttons and threw the clothes into the sea of fire.
Then he took out two pieces from his space necklace and put them on.
Only a little magic remained in Camus. She first removed the blood magic that transformed her, restored her original appearance, and then put on the mask.
It’s not that she thinks these are more important than escaping. She also wants to leave as soon as possible, but she can’t get out for a while.
The entire auction hall turned into hell.
Fire and lightning raged, blocking most of the passages. Scattered lightning streaked across the ground, and the aisle underfoot felt like a red-hot iron plate.
Su Cheng couldn't help but look up at the culprit.
Still in the center of the thunderstorm, the man slowly landed on the ground, walked over the rubble and headed towards the nearby vault.
He seemed to be completely oblivious to the chaotic and bleak scene in the store. He ignored the charred corpses and roasted flesh and went straight into the warehouse.
There stood two more boxes of keels.
He swung his scaly claws, easily shattering the magical restrictions and the crystal shell, and took out the two pieces of bones from inside.
Then he began to chant softly.
Su Cheng couldn't hear what he was singing, but he felt that it was not human language.
She had just jumped out of the sea of fire and was leaping onto the collapsed beams, trying to return to the auction house upstairs, where there were more roads.
“…”
The attacker in the warehouse next door suddenly turned around.
He didn't look at the corpses on the ground. His turquoise eyes stared at her, and his dark vertical pupils shrank slightly.
Then a certain greed and fanaticism was revealed.
"……His Majesty."
The man murmured, "You have the aura of His Majesty—"
Su Cheng almost felt the gaze as if it were real.
The attacker pounced.
If she hadn't dodged the moment she felt something was wrong, she would have been smashed into a pulp by the other party.
She rolled twice on the ground, and looked into those blue-gold eyes through the flames as gorgeous as a tomb and thousands of hissing electric snakes.
He was a young man with black hair and white skin, tall and thin, with a gloomy face, but a kind of fanatical joyful light bloomed in his pupils.
"Give it to me..." He roared hoarsely in his throat, "Your Majesty..."
Su Cheng actually didn't quite understand what he was saying.
His voice was too hoarse and his common language was very awkward, as if he had not spoken for decades or hundreds of years.
But she noticed him go to the warehouse next door and caught a glimpse of him taking something.
This guy also wants dragon bones!
Su Cheng: “…”
She is no longer Prince Aguila, nor is she in the state of hiding in a hidden corner just now.
We are now in the hall of the auction house.
Even if everyone is busy taking care of themselves, some are running away and some are screaming, who knows if anyone is looking over here!
Su Cheng didn't want to admit that he was carrying a dragon bone, nor did he want the other party to say such a thing.
So she turned and ran.
The wind and mist rising from her body formed a shield, blocking the hissing electric sparks in the air, wrapping around her limbs and torso, and crashing into the window together.
"How dare you, lowly humans, sell the bones of gods—"
The attacker raised his head and roared.
His chest heaved like a bellows, and a strange vibration spread throughout the space.
Dozens of voices intertwined into a strange harmony, with harsh friction between the bass and treble, and the sound waves spread outward layer by layer with him as the center.
Every sound wave was almost clearly visible, translucent ripples appeared in the air, the walls and seats exploded one after another, and countless debris shot in all directions.
Su Cheng waved his hand and created a gust of wind, blowing away the crystal grains that were flying towards him.
She also felt the sound waves hitting her body. Some kind of suppressed dark power wanted to invade her body, but was blocked out by the fighting spirit.
“Ahhhhhhhhh—”
There was a magician who was rolling in a sea of fire, covering his ears in pain. His eyes suddenly exploded and his brains spurted out of his nostrils.
The attacker's roar reverberated through the air.
He turned his head, and the scales on his neck were exposed. The corners of his mouth were torn to his ears, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth. His protruding spine also propped up the black robe on his body.
The dome above the auction hall collapsed, revealing the dark blue night sky and a sky full of stars.
Su Cheng: “…”
If the attacker hadn't been watching her, she would have escaped by now.
However, he was still staring at her, and it was obvious that any move she made might provoke an attack from him.
She could indeed summon the wind to ascend to the sky and then leave, but the process could not be fast, and she would most likely not be able to get rid of him.
Su Cheng: "Sir, do you realize that by going to someone else's auction house and doing this, you have committed the crimes of intentional destruction of property, provoking trouble, intentional homicide, and robbery—"
The attacker lunged forward, claws brandishing.
His figure flashed through the air like a ghost, and at a speed that ordinary people could not react to, he instantly appeared in front of the black-haired girl.
Then--
Its scaly claws were about to dig out her heart or cut open her entire chest and abdomen.
But she stopped him with her hand.
Su Cheng raised his head. In his amber eyes, light pulsed along the lines of his irises, and a honey-like golden glow overflowed from the edges of his whites.
The dark round pupils twisted, and patterns of books and gavels emerged.
“…”
The attacker looked up.
A tall and majestic figure appeared behind the human girl.
In the floating sea of light, the golden-haired god had his eyes closed, and his handsome face was calm.
The strong arm wrapped in chains was raised, and the pages of the code in the palm were slowly turned.
Then freeze.
At the same time, the sounds of flesh tearing and bones breaking could be heard.
Su Cheng crushed the opponent's wrist with his fingertips, digging into the flesh and bones, ready to tear his claws off.
The attacker cursed crazily, "Traitor's lackey, false god's servant, you have defiled—"
Suddenly, a beam of golden light penetrated his mouth and came out from the back of his head.
Su Cheng quickly took two steps back.
A tall and straight figure appeared beside him.
A blond man in gorgeous clothes, with a gold coin rose badge on his chest, and a faint smile on his handsome face.
"Your Excellency the Duke—"
Screams were heard from a little distance away, and several guests who were trapped by lightning and fire all looked as if they had been rescued.
Su Cheng's heart slowly sank.
This is the Duke of Oulu.
He is also the owner of Jinzhan Palace.
