Chapter 234: The cheers are overwhelming and the bidding prices are soaring!
The areas within a radius of ten thousand miles from the edge of the Aklan Empire are all high-level magic restricted areas.
Unless there is a special situation of Warcraft invasion, no one is allowed to use ninth-level or higher magic without authorization, otherwise they will be hunted down by the border defense combat sequence of the Aklan Empire.
What's more, even the aerospace fleet will be dispatched to capture mages who violate the anti-magic regulations.
This move is actually a means to prevent the invasion of Warcraft.
after all,
Once a ninth-order magical beast appears in a marginal area, it means that a large group of magical beasts is invading the human race.
In order to warn of ninth-order monsters, the major empires often use ninth-order spells as warning signals.
Just because the ninth-level magic is a high-level magic with strategic power, it is destined not to be used as a means of casual use, and it is most suitable to be used for early warning.
Once a magician engages in a private fight, he will use the ninth-level spells as if they were firecrackers and set them off at will.
By then, the resulting casualties and losses will be countless.
In addition, if the imperial generals guarding the border cannot understand the purpose of the mage releasing the ninth-level spell because of this matter, the wasted manpower and material resources will make the logistics department go bald.
Thinking of the things that might be involved later, Betty stood up straight and asked Isana, "These scrolls have exploited loopholes in the imperial rules. We have no reason to stop the Phantom Exchange from continuing the auction.
So, do we need an excuse to confiscate these scrolls?"
She was wearing a gorgeous yet practical maid outfit, and her expression was extremely serious as she spoke.
Isana smiled and refused, "No, Xiao Liya asked me not to go, and I trust her judgment."
"But these scrolls are unstable factors..." Betty was a little worried.
After all, she was also an imperial official responsible for defending against monster invasions.
In addition to being the head maid of Youmeng Inn, she actually has another job—
Aerospace Fleet, 16th Battleship Squadron, new Chief of the General Staff.
As a strategic weapon of the Aklan Empire, the Alchemy Battleship is a true weapon of war.
Its magic main gun can release tenth-level spells autonomously without external force, and greatly enhance the four-dimensional attributes of the tenth-level mage.
If there is an eleventh-level mage sitting in charge,
Thanks to the powerful attributes of the Alchemical Battleship, those eleventh-level mages can even fight across levels and compete with the legendary twelfth-level mages.
But this information is just paper data after all.
The few remaining twelfth-level human mages on the Star-Moon Continent are now practicing in seclusion on some unknown floating continent.
How could they be willing to waste time doing "boring" experiments with the Aklan Empire Military?
However, the strength of the Alchemy Battleship is unquestionable.
Betty’s current status is inseparable from Altria.
As the new chief of staff, she is also a chess piece for old Arthur to train the future queen.
"Okay, we just have to wait."
Isana patted Betty's shoulder and said calmly, "If little Leah doesn't even have this little bit of judgment, King Arthur wouldn't think so highly of her.
I'm sure she'll handle it.
Besides, Shenglin Town is only more than a thousand kilometers away from Otto Town.
Whether you can get over it or not is just a matter of whether you want to or not."
Seeing that Isana had said so much, Betty could only nod in agreement and did not dare to say another word.
now,
Isana's mental tentacles hovered over Shenglin Town, carefully examining the exquisite and powerful eighth-level scroll on the display stand.
In her opinion, engraving these scrolls was obviously not something an eighth-level mage could do.
Not to mention how difficult it is to make the eighth-level magic power burst out with the power of the ninth level, the third-level rule power stored in the scrolls alone demonstrates the extraordinary nature of this batch of scrolls.
"The creators of these scrolls possess profound mastery of technique and skill, just like the royal scholars who have devoted centuries to the research and development of scrolls."
Isana whispered softly,
She made a judgment in her heart: "Behind the person who engraved the scroll, there must be an entire country's magical heritage as a foundation.
I don't know what role the Augustus Empire plays in this."
"August Empire?" Betty covered her mouth in surprise.
She was unwilling to believe Isana's magic, and stammered, "Sir, aren't you a little... too worried?
The August Empire and the Aklan Empire belong to the same human race. They shouldn't waste manpower and resources to deal with us, right?"
The top mages were wasting their time and energy to engrave these scrolls, only to increase the burden on the Aklan Empire's border defense.
This is just a loss.
There are only a hundred scrolls. All the combat sequences need to do is pay attention to the whereabouts of the buyers, and it will not be a problem to control them perfectly.
not to mention,
If the Aklan Empire is destroyed by monsters, it will not benefit the other forces.
What's the point of doing this?
"Who knows?"
Isana shook her head and chuckled, then nodded her chin and said calmly, “On the Star-Moon Continent, mages with this level of strength are rare.
Apart from the two great empires, there are only a few other small nations left. I believe that even with their resources alone, they cannot achieve this."
This is not an exaggeration.
Rather, it was a judgment she made after careful consideration of the conditions for making the scroll.
Engraving a scroll is not as simple as you think.
It not only involves four major categories of magical knowledge, including spell engraving, magic pattern writing, magic energy compression, and array diagram modification, but also requires the producer to have absolute strength.
Because of this,
To make such a scroll, one needs profound attainments in magic, great strength and skilled techniques.
None of them can be missing!
With the library of documents in a small empire, it is impossible to train mages with the above conditions.
Not to mention,
"There must be more than one mage who engraved the scroll."
Isana's eyes were deep, and her mental tentacles had already detected the various rules and powers within these scrolls. She said something shocking:
"Life, death, light, darkness, water, fire...
Almost everything that exists in the world can be found in these nearly one hundred scrolls."
In the Star-Moon Continent, which specializes in one, or at most two or three, sets of rules, such a feat is beyond imagination.
If someone said that these scrolls were all made by one person, the mages on the Star-Moon Continent would probably die of laughter.
There are actually people who take this outdated myth and legend seriously?
Betty listened to Isana's whispers, thought about it carefully, and suddenly became alert and felt creepy.
If Isana's guess is correct, the August Empire is fighting the Aklan Empire regardless of the consequences...
Thinking of this, Betty subconsciously clenched her fists.
Once the two empires fight each other, the only ones who benefit are the rest of the races.
If the human race is in decline, will the dark age that no one dares to look back on come to the Star-Moon Continent again?
Betty's guess in her heart made her pretty face pale slightly, and she said timidly: "Sir, you know that my strength is only at the eighth level.
I can't see so much power of rules just by looking at a video.
I want to ask...what do you think the probability is that this is a conspiracy of the Augustus Empire?"
"How much?"
Isana turned around in surprise, looked at Betty with a smile, and said mischievously, "No way, are you serious?
Giggling...
What's written in the book is true. Innocent little girls are the easiest to deceive."
Under Betty's resentful gaze, Isana smiled and said slowly: "Although I guess this incident is related to the August Empire.
But you don't know how to use your cute little head to think.
If this is the Augustus Empire's method, would they be so bold as to do it right under my nose?"
“???”
Isana's words made Betty's head full of question marks, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
What the other party meant by this...
Are you all kidding?
After a long moment, the head maid, disregarding her image, pouted and muttered in grievance, "Sir, you are so mean! You actually made fun of me again!"
Isana smiled without saying anything, her mental power still hovering over Shenglin Town.
at the same time,
In the Phantom Exchange in Shenglin Town, the auction has entered its climax.
Although everyone was dissatisfied that they could not fast forward to the scroll auction because of Cornelieve's interference.
But most people are self-aware and know that such scrolls are beyond their financial means.
therefore,
Most people bought the items they needed in the early stages of the auction and then left in disappointment.
The empty seats were occupied by mages who came after hearing the noise, so that the entire venue was packed and extremely lively.
After a long wait, it was finally time to auction the scroll.
Seeing this, Hughes gently swept his skinny palm through the air.
In the blink of an eye, ninety-nine scrolls with stunning appearance were held in the air by magic power and rotated quietly.
On the outermost layer of the scroll, there lingers the mysterious and obscure power of rules.
This scene made everyone's heart surge with emotion and their eyes become envious.
Looking at the array pattern on the scroll that was transformed from the magic pattern of the elves, someone sighed: "This is the scroll that can allow us to access the power of the ninth level!
I had heard people say that the scroll looked beautiful, but I didn’t take it seriously.
But now I see it, it’s really beautiful…
It’s a breathtakingly beautiful work of art!”
"It's not just beautiful, it has the power to shock people!"
Someone clutched the magic crystal card tightly in his hand and said excitedly, "I can sense the power of the rules on it. If I use it to comprehend it, I might be able to access the power of higher-level rules!"
Before he finished speaking, the burly man beside him grabbed the man's collar and said in a shocking voice: "You? With your sixth-level strength, you want to comprehend high-level rules?
You are dreaming!
This scroll with fire elements must be mine!"
This man's strength has reached the peak of the seventh level, and he is only one step away from entering the eighth level.
He believed that this scroll would be his chance to advance to the eighth level!
As he was fantasizing,
Untimely words suddenly rang out behind him.
"I didn't expect that you, a reckless man, actually have the same idea as me..." An old man wearing a monocle frowned, looking at the muscular brother next to him with disgust.
"Why, do you have any objections?"
"whispering sound."
The old man smiled contemptuously and said nothing more.
The magic-forbidden formation of the Phantom Exchange has been activated. Pure mages are far inferior to these humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex who specialize in the flesh in terms of physical attributes.
It would be unwise to start a conflict now.
He looked around and found that many famous people in the marginal areas were here.
Obviously, the Phantom Exchange is very good at delaying things.
The scroll that Hughes had released earlier was like an arrow piercing the clouds.
Countless mages who heard the noise came like a swarm of carp crossing the river, making Shenglin Town extremely crowded.
But without exception, there was a burning and excited look in everyone's eyes.
Hughes looked at the crowd in the conference hall with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
The more people there are, the higher the selling price will be.
"The benefits here really can't make people too tempted!"
The news about the auction scroll has been released on the communication magic weapon, and there is even a first-person video, which is extremely attractive!
Even the Phantom Chamber of Commerce headquarters could not contain their greed.
In just one afternoon, the general agent of the Phantom Chamber of Commerce repeatedly expressed his desire to discuss subsequent transaction matters with Lin Luoqia.
However, the so-called negotiations were actually not sincere at all.
“Give up 70 percent of the profits?
Just like that, they still want the great Lord Lorraine to cooperate with them?"
Hughes's smiling eyes were filled with admiration, and he thought to himself, "Without close contact with the scroll and feeling its power firsthand, those guys will never know how powerful the scroll is!
That's fine.
The negotiations between headquarters and Lord Lorraine broke down, so I can continue to reap the benefits."
The general agent of the Phantom Chamber of Commerce is still unsure of Lin Luo's specific strength, and his attitude towards him is hot and cold, and extremely ambiguous.
After all, the Phantom Chamber of Commerce's connection with the royal family's tenth-level mages led them to not have much fear of ninth-level mages.
even,
These greedy guys neither wanted to sign an 80-20 cooperation contract nor wanted to give up Lin Luo's scroll business, which made the cooperation relationship between the two parties undecided.
Hughes was Lin Luo's only current contact, so the Phantom Merchants Association naturally wouldn't touch him easily...
At least, no action will be taken before the negotiations between the two sides are completed.
Hughes, filled with excitement, stepped into the air, coughed lightly, and said, "Everyone, I believe that everyone has a good idea of the scroll's power.
I won’t go into detail one by one.”
Facing the urging gazes of the crowd, Hughes summoned a fire scroll and said with a smile, "Let's get straight to the point.
The starting price for each scroll is 3.15 million low-grade magic crystals, and each bid increase must not be less than 100,000!
Bidding begins...
Bang--
As the auction hammer carved from seventh-level magic oak fell, the entire town cheered like a tsunami.
The next second, hundreds of thousands of people rushed to input the bidding price into the communication magic device, wanting to grab this fire scroll that had penetrated the ninth-level shield.
at the same time,
In the three-dimensional image standing in the center of the venue, graceful golden numbers began to dance continuously.
315…330…380…
Every time the data flashes, it touches the hearts of countless people.
Finally, at the moment when Hughes' breathing became rapid, the data finally stopped jumping.
But at this moment, this old man with a century of auction experience was trembling with excitement.
"An eighth-level scroll was sold at such a high price!"
