Skeleton King

Carl Kaiser and Ace are not the same when they first met. His eyebrows and eyes are open, his facial features are as sharp as a knife, deep and charming, and his irises are black, as mysterious as the night.

Coincidentally, Carl Kaiser also looked over here, and he also saw Ace.

Oops!Ace thought inwardly.He didn't expect to see Carl Caesar again so soon. It was only three years since they parted in the Dutch village, and he didn't know if Carl Caesar still had any impression of the Skeleton King's tomb.

Ace and Karl Kaiser looked at each other for three seconds, and Karl Kaiser looked away nonchalantly.

He didn't recognize it?Did he recognize it?Ace didn't know if Karl Kaiser had discovered anything.But Ace thought about his current strength, even if Carl Caesar wanted to trip him up, he had nothing to do.

At this time, the middle-aged man from the Caesar Chamber of Commerce had already opened the door of the box and invited Noou and Ace to enter.In the box, there is a huge floor-to-ceiling glass, the floor is covered with a snow-white carpet, and there is a spacious sofa in the middle, even if two adults sit side by side, it will not look crowded. The sofa is made of black leather, which looks very Upscale, there are a few white chairs behind the sofa.

The middle-aged man tentatively asked: "There are still spare white sofas in the Chamber of Commerce, do you want them to move in?" He didn't know Ace's identity yet.

Nuo Ou sat on the black sofa, he turned to look at the middle-aged man, "No, just sit with Ace and me."

"Yes." The middle-aged man said: "There are white playing cards and black playing cards on the small table. The little Duke Green has something he likes, so he can write the price on the playing cards and ask the maids to call the price. Write on the white playing cards and get the price." For the auction items, go to the backstage of the auction to pay the gold coins, and the little Duke of Green can take it away. The auction items that are auctioned with black cards will be paid by the Caesars Chamber of Commerce, and will be used as gifts for the young Duke of Green’s first visit to the Caesars Chamber of Commerce auction .”

Nou nodded, and the middle-aged man withdrew.

Ace: "He also said that he has no money to buy things, so someone will pay for it."

Nuo Ou: "The favors from the Caesar Chamber of Commerce are not so easy to repay." They are a group of blood-sucking guys.

Ace sat on the sofa for a while, and suddenly felt a very delicate thing in his hand, he couldn't help but grabbed it, it was a pair of girls' hands.Ace followed these hands and looked up. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with light powder on the corners of her eyes, she has a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, is smiling at him, smiling coquettishly, but still pure.

"Go away!" Suddenly, the girl ran away from Ace like a frightened bunny.

Ace turned his head and saw Noou looking at the girl coldly, and he was also the one who said "go away" just now.Standing beside Nuoou was a woman with a much plumper figure, who also stepped back at this time.

Ace sat a little closer to Nou, "This is a way of the Caesar Chamber of Commerce to please you, and there may not be any malicious intentions."

Nuo Ou: "I just don't like it." Ace just stared blankly at the girl's appearance, he was so stupid.

Ace thought that Nou still had a psychological shadow about his uncle plotting against him and placing people around him, so he rejected the maid sent by the Caesar Chamber of Commerce so much.

In Ace's view, Nou is still a child, but his uncle has already regarded him as an opponent who must be eliminated quickly, and the people of the Caesars Chamber of Commerce also regard him as a partner with common interests.None of them gave him the chance to live another few years without worry.Ace couldn't help feeling more pity for Nuoou.

After a while, the two maids came over again and put fruit plates and snacks on the hands of Ace and Nuoou respectively.

But at this moment, they are all well-behaved, and they have no intention of bumping into the two little nobles at all.

Ace went to look at the girl beside him, the girl had a faint smile on her face, she didn't look at Ace at all, she just focused on the fruit plate in her hand.

Just like that, it tickles people's hearts even more.

If Ace is really a little noble who doesn't know much about the world and likes girls.But now, this style is only for the blind to see.

"The auction has started." Nou said.

Ace stopped paying attention to the little maid's thoughts, and turned to look at the high platform in the middle of the auction venue.The venue of this auction was transformed from a three-story building. The center of the building was a high platform. At this time, there was a girl with a protruding figure and a veil on the high platform. Two waiters in black were sitting on the platform. Bring a shelf to her side.On the edge of the platform is a circle of chairs, densely packed, and they are the most common seats.

On the second floor are white sofa chairs. The people sitting on them include the famous and rich people of Bremen, the wealthy mercenaries who just came out of the Warcraft Forest, and even the weathered and plainly dressed scholars.

As for the third floor, Ace counted roughly, there are about [-] boxes, and the glass in the box is single-sided, so you can see the outside from the inside, but not the inside from the outside.Therefore, Ace didn't know how many boxes were occupied.

There was music coming from the high platform.

Ace withdrew his gaze from the box and looked towards the high platform.

At this time, the girl on the high platform had already taken off her veil, her light golden, wavy hair had already hung down to her waist, her pair of beautiful eyes swept across the first, second and third floors of the auction site, although she No one looked at it, but many people felt that she was staring at them affectionately.People who were close to the high platform and had weak willpower even wanted to stand up, rush to the high platform, and stand with the woman.

Nuo Ou: "This woman is weird."

Ace: "She's covered with a layer of vindictiveness."

Nuo Ou thought for a while, and said: "I have never heard of any mental method that has the effect of charming people."

Ace: "Maybe it's due to talent."

At this moment, the woman on the high platform also spoke, "Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to the auction of the Kaiser Chamber of Commerce. I am the host of this auction, Katharina, and I am honored to get the Kaiser Chamber of Commerce Bremen City I will try my best to satisfy everyone by presiding over this auction."

"Satisfied, satisfied." At this moment, a man who was described as wretched was muttering while trying to climb up the high platform.

Ace thought that there would be a waiter in black dragging the man out of the venue. Unexpectedly, Katharina on the high platform seemed not to see the man, and took two steps in this direction casually, and then "inadvertently" Kick, the man was kicked to the wall of the venue like a parabola.The man fell to the ground slowly against the wall and groaned twice.

Not even dead.

It seems that Katharina has a good control over her grudge, and she doesn't know what level of swordsman she is.

At this moment, the sound of breathing and whispering in the auction hall suddenly disappeared.Even the mercenaries sitting on the sofa chairs on the second floor were shocked when they saw this scene, and the others didn't dare to look at Katarina unscrupulously.

Ace grabbed a handful of nuts and leaned on the sofa, looking forward to the auction even more.

Katharina acted as if nothing had happened, she opened the red cloth on the shelf with her slender hands, revealing a magic crystal on the shelf.

"The magic crystal of a high-level monster!"

"Advanced magic crystal of earth attribute!"

"At least a seventh-level monster..."

Katharina smiled coquettishly, and said: "Everyone guessed right, the first item auctioned today is a magic crystal of an eighth-level monster from the World of Warcraft Forest. A few days ago, an A-level mercenary group came from the World of Warcraft Forest Come out, in order to hunt and kill this eighth-level monster, they sent four senior magicians and four senior swordsmen to set up a net of heaven and earth. Moreover, this earth-level monster of earth attribute is not an ordinary monster. dragon."

In an instant, the atmosphere of the auction was heated up.

Katharina: "One piece of the eighth-level earth dragon magic crystal, the starting price is 1 gold coins."

The price of the eighth-level earth-moving dragon magic crystal must be more than 1 gold coins. The Caesar Chamber of Commerce's move is just to mobilize the atmosphere at the auction.

Ace: "I didn't expect that there would be such a good thing in Bremen. The magic crystal of the earth dragon, even if it was brought to the auction in the imperial capital, it would be the finale."

Nou: "Georgia borders on the World of Warcraft Forest. Many precious Warcraft crystal nuclei, fur, blood and horns will be processed here. Even many families that need these materials will stay in Bremen City for a long time. "

At this moment, quotations appeared one after another under the venue, "2 gold coins."

"5W gold coins."

……

"I will offer 35 gold coins."

Soon, the price of this earth-moving dragon magic crystal was raised to 35 gold coins, and it wasn't until then that people's quotations slowed down.

"35 gold coins."

"35 gold coins."

……

In the end, the magic crystal of the Earth Walking Dragon was auctioned off by a young man under the age of 30 at a price of 42 gold coins.The young man followed a black-clothed waiter into the back of the high platform, handed over the gold coins, and never came out again. Presumably, he left the auction venue through the back door.

In order to avoid that when the auction is over, someone surrounds him and scrambles for the magic crystal of the earth-moving dragon.

After that, bloody gemstones and a set of navy blue full body armor appeared at the auction, all of which sold for hundreds of thousands of gold coins.The former was photographed by an aristocratic young man with greasy hair and pink noodles, and was given to the girl who came to the auction together, while the latter was photographed by a mercenary sitting on the second floor.I don't know the origin of the navy blue full body armor. There were not many people participating in the auction, but everyone was bound to win it. The price rose steadily, even higher than the price of the eighth-level Earth Walking Dragon Demon Crystal.In the end, it was the mercenary who mortgaged a rare magic scroll and bought a large amount of gold coins from the Caesar Chamber of Commerce before taking it.

There was also a mage robe made of mithril, which even Ace was very excited about, but he couldn't give up because of his lack of money.

In short, this auction will open Ace's eyes, and he feels that the trip is worthwhile.At the same time, he also saw the rich wealth of the nobles and rich people of the Pansy Empire, and they really didn't treat gold coins as gold coins when they spent them.

The auction continued until midnight.

Ace fought with his upper and lower eyelids, and was so sleepy that he almost fell on Nou's shoulder.

Nuoou: "Go and sleep on the side."

Ace looked at the armrest on the sofa in disgust, "That one is too short."

At this time, on the high platform in the middle of the auction, a waiter in black handed a small wooden box to Katharina.Katharina smiled at everyone, "Gentlemen and ladies, the auction is coming to an end. But there are still three finale treasures in this auction that have not been auctioned. I believe you have been waiting for a long time."

Katharina didn't play tricks anymore, she opened the wooden box directly, and there was a lifelike doll lying in the wooden box.

The doll is the size of a palm and is wearing a black cloak.The facial features of the doll are very delicate, and even the small hands protruding from under the cloak are like handicrafts.The doll's eyes were tightly closed, and its light-colored lips were lightly pursed. If it weren't for its small size, everyone would have thought it would come alive in the next second.

Ace suddenly sat up straight from the sofa, and he stared blankly at the doll, as if he didn't believe it would appear in the auction.

On the high platform, Katharina said: "The doll made by the astrologer has a starting price of 50 gold coins. The bidding begins." She didn't even make an introduction, and directly asked everyone participating in the auction to bid, and the starting price was astonishingly high. The price of any previous auction item was higher.

There was a buzzing sound in the auction venue.

Astrologers, this is a profession with a longer history than magicians and swordsmen. It is said that they can use the power of the stars to trace back what has happened and explore unknown mysteries.The decline and rise of every empire has astrologers, and every major event in history can be predicted in advance by astrologers.

Every emperor wants them and fears them.

They are astrologers, a profession that has disappeared.The existing "astrologers" in the world are all tramps pretending to be gods and ghosts in order to obtain money.

And the astrologer's doll is as famous as the astrologer.It is said that the dolls around the most powerful astrologer are as powerful as the Juggernaut. Ordinary dolls can act as waiters, while powerful dolls can take the head of the enemy general among thousands of troops. It is unrivaled. The presence.

But, who knows whether the astrology doll presented by the Caesar Chamber of Commerce is real or not?

Even if it is true, who has the ability to use astrology dolls if the astrologers are gone?

Because of this, the first finale item at the auction was unexpectedly cold.The people under the high platform looked at each other in blank dismay. On the high platform, Katharina chuckled as always. I don't know if she really has confidence in this astrology doll, or if she is too psychologically strong, she doesn't feel embarrassed at all.

"51 gold coins." A young man sitting on the sofa chair on the second floor, who looked like a butler, seemed to be an agent of some family, he hesitated to offer a price.But after the young man finished talking about the price, he regretted it when he received the gazes from all around him. He only hoped that he would not really take a picture of the doll.

"53 gold coins."

There was also the sound of quotations from a corner on the first floor.The young man who made the quotation before was relieved and did not dare to make another quotation.However, these two quotations seemed to have turned on a strange switch, and the bidding began to ring out continuously in the auction hall.

"56 gold coins."

"61 gold coins."

No one suddenly raised the price, and the bidding price rose steadily.Everyone who participated in the auction felt that this world was illusory. An astrology doll with no known level and no usability could be sold at a sky-high price.

……

"98 gold coins."

Everyone who participated in the auction was stunned by one price after another, and now they are numb.

Ace's gaze was also fixed on the astrology doll, he wondered if he would have the chance to see it again in his life.

"If it's important, let's take a picture of it." Suddenly, Nou's voice rang in Ace's ear.

Ace froze for a while before digesting Noou's words.

Ace knew he had lost his composure.

Ace heard his own lifeless voice, "No."

Nou: "If it's really important..."

Ace lay back on the sofa again, "It's really not necessary." This favor is too great.

If the Caesar Chamber of Commerce is willing to let Ace owe this huge sum of money, Ace can accept any price, but he already owes too much to Nou, and he can't use Nou's name to get this astrological doll.I don't know what the Caesar Chamber of Commerce will ask Nuoou to repay them in the future.

Nuoou didn't try to persuade him anymore, the money of the Caesars Chamber of Commerce is not so easy to spend.

"103 gold coins."

A pretty female voice came from the auction house. It was unclear who it was, it should have come from a box on the third floor.

"108 million gold coins." It was a gray-robed man who had been participating in the bidding and sitting on the first floor.

There were already two black-clothed waiters standing beside the gray-robed man, estimating the price of the few gemstones that the gray-robed man took out.It seems that the gold coins and gold tickets on the gray-robed man are not enough, and now he is bidding for this astrological doll with all his money.

You must know that the prices of things purchased at Caesar Chamber of Commerce auctions have always been very low, and the best ones are only [-]% of the normal price.

"112 million gold coins." Another voice came from the box on the third floor.

The man in gray robe sat down on the chair slumped.

"Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" Katharina said: "112 million gold coins once, 112 million gold coins twice, 112 million gold coins three times. Congratulations to this guest for taking the astrology doll."

Katharina handed the wooden box to the waiter in black and asked him to take it up to the third floor.The black-clothed waiter had bright eyes and a steady footsteps, presumably he was also a strong swordsman.

Ace lay on the couch like a squid.

On the high platform, Katalian took out another new auction item, "A space ring, 800 cubic feet in size, with a starting price of 30 gold coins."

There is no need for Katarina to say anything about this auction item, everyone knows the usefulness of the space ring.Immediately, fiery bidding began at the auction.Even people who know that their money can't buy the space ring, bet all their wealth and bid for it, hoping to be hit by shit luck.

Ace lay on the couch, not interested in it.

He felt that even if the last auction item was the magic crystal of a tenth-level monster, it wouldn't make his heart beat a little longer.

In a bad mood, Ace took another handful of nuts, only to find the plate was empty.The maid in the box saw it and quickly put new nuts on the small table.

"The person who took the picture of the astrology doll is in the box on the right." The maid who put on the new nuts moved her lips a few times, she didn't make a sound, but what she said rang in Ace's head.

Ace looked at the maid suspiciously.

The maid just smiled at Ace faintly, and then backed away.

Ace looked at Nou, who was still staring at the high platform of the auction, as if he knew nothing about what happened just now.

Box on the right.

Ace thought for a moment, it was the box that Karl Kaiser entered just now.

Ace thought that this is the site of the Caesar Chamber of Commerce, so it is not surprising that the maid spread the word for Carl Caesar.

It seems that Karl Caesar actually saw something in the Skeleton King's tomb and recognized him.However, Carl Kaiser was worried that he would not meet him, so he used the astrology doll to lure him?

Why does Carl Caesar think that if he knows Ace's identity, Ace will not run away from him and run to him.In this box, Ace can at least break the glass of the box, causing a commotion at the auction, and then leave.To meet Karl Caesar, who knows whether he has a magician or a swordsman by his side?

Ace smiled and said to Nou: "I ate too much fruit just now, I'll go out for a while."

Nuo Ou looked at Ace's empty fruit plate and said calmly: "Yes." After Ace left, Nuo Ou asked the maid to put his fruit plate in Ace's hand.
