Chapter 368 Missed opportunity
Bronze Rose Street, Water Auction House.
An auction is coming to an end.
"1,200,000 magic stones once!" The white-robed auctioneer shouted loudly, "1,200,000 magic stones twice, three times!"
when!
The auction gavel hit heavily.
"Congratulations to your Excellency who bid 1.2 million magic stones for successfully bidding for the Turbidity Crystal."
The white-robed auctioneer continued with a smile, "The Turbidity Crystal is the last auction item. This is the end of this auction. All wizards are requested to leave in an orderly manner."
Colin sighed slightly, stood up from an inconspicuous corner of the hall, followed the crowd and left the auction hall.
‘I didn’t expect that there would be no Frost Treasure in this auction. '
Valter’s Auction House will hold two or three large-scale auctions and seven ordinary auctions a week on average.
The time of ordinary auctions is fixed in the afternoon every day, and the location is in the small hall next door, while the time of large-scale auctions is not fixed. Generally speaking, there will be one on Sunday, and the other one or two are to watch the auction products are arranged.
Today happened to be Sunday, and it was only in the morning when I left Isidor's place. So after lunch, Colin rushed to Walter's Auction House, hoping to buy a frost treasure to improve his frost talent.
It's a pity that this auction doesn't have the Frost Treasure he wanted.
Generally speaking, in order to maintain a certain sense of mystery, only 80% of the auction items in each auction can be known in advance before the auction starts.
As for the remaining 20%, it will remain unknown.
Colin came here for the unknown 20%, but unfortunately, he didn't get what he wanted.
Fortunately, with the badge of the Xisheng School, the entrance fee can be discounted by 10%. It only costs ten magic stones, but there is no loss.
Walking out of the hall, Colin did not leave, but came to a counter of the auction house to consult.
"Is the auction list for next week's auction out?"
"Excuse me, are you asking about a large auction or an ordinary auction?" The female wizard at the reception asked with a sweet smile.
"Both."
"Ordinary ones are only available from Monday to Friday, here you are." The witch skillfully pulled out a stack of brown leaflets from the side,
"The large auction house has now announced two auctions, one on Friday and one on Sunday.
Friday's auction announced 50% of the auction items, and the other announced 30% of the auction items, and there should be more announcements in the future. "
"If you need it, you can come to pick up a more complete leaflet in a few days. It is usually updated every two days. The latest version will be updated the day before the auction."
Colin nodded, indicating that he understood, and took the leaflet.
Walter's Auction House is one of the best auction houses on Copper Rose Street, with excellent services in all aspects. It was here that he sold the Crystal of Extreme Cold last time.
And behind it is the Istar School, and with the badge of the Tin Holy School, you can get a lot of discounts here... It's a pity that this time I was unlucky and had to return empty-handed.
Colin looked at the flyer in his hand as he walked out of the auction house.
After not taking a few steps, he paused for a while, his eyes brightened slightly as he looked at the leaflet of the second large-scale auction.
"The flower of the cold thorn, the second-level frost material that grows in the cold caves of the extreme north..."
Although I haven't heard the name of the flower of the cold thorn, but according to the notes on the back, it is at least a frost material, and it comes from the extreme north... Maybe it is exactly what I need.
Colin moved his eyes to the top of the leaflet. This is the leaflet for the second auction that announced 30% of the auction items. At the top of the leaflet, the exact time of holding is marked—
"Sunday, May 7th in the Yanamic calendar, at two o'clock in the afternoon."
There are still seven days... Colin smiled, quickly flipped through the rest of the leaflets, stopped a carriage and returned home
…
The morning of May 1st in the Aramaic calendar.
A street corner.
Colin, who was wearing a gray witch robe, hid in the shadows, frowning.
At the alley not far in front of you, two first-order wizards from the law enforcement team are guarding the alley. Looking through their figures, you can see more wizards from the law enforcement team going back and forth in an ordinary house in the alley. back.
Colin recognized the house, having been to it countless times in the past two months.
—This is Isidor's residence.
He wanted to come here today to inquire about whether Isidor succeeded in transforming the miracle yesterday, but what he never expected to see was such a scene.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a figure in the uniform of the Law Enforcement Team flew across the sky above his head. Judging from his aura, it was at least the third rank.
Colin was slightly startled.
The figure landed at the entrance of the alley, and the guarding wizard respectfully greeted him: "Lord Fabol."
Colin looked around, and approached a group of people who were a little closer.
Relying on the keen hearing of a first-order knight, the conversation in the alley could be heard faintly.
"Tell me about the situation here, Uriah." The voice was a bit rough, this is the wizard Fabole who just arrived.
"Good sir." Ulea is the wizard in charge here, he organized the language and said: "Simply speaking, it is a crazy second-order wizard named Isidor who crazily attacked the neighbors living around. .”
"Second-level wizard, live in this kind of place?" Fabol was puzzled.
"Yes." Ulea nodded, and deduced: "In the basement, we found a ruined witch formation, and the materials used are expensive. Perhaps this is the reason why he lives in such a place."
"To save magic stones, or to deceive people?"
"If you guessed correctly, yes."
"Another idiot who blindly studies knowledge, the parliament should formulate a special research law to bring all knowledge research behaviors into monitoring and control."
Fabole frowned, walked towards the residence, and continued to ask:
"Where is that crazy second-order wizard?"
Uriah paused and said, "He's dead."
"Dead?" Fabol paused a little, then turned his head and asked, "What's the reason?"
"There happened to be two second-order wizards here last night. They were attacked. Out of self-defense, they counterattacked and killed the mad Isidor."
"There are two second-tier wizards here, why are they here?" Fabol curled his lips, but he was not too surprised by Isidor's death.
After all, witchcraft has no eyes, and not all wizards are proficient in imprisonment witchcraft.
Yulia had a strange expression on his face. He paused and said, "With them, there are four first-order male wizards... first-order male wizards who have undergone some special physical transformation."
Fabole's face darkened, and he thought for a while and asked: "It sounds like this is just an ordinary incident where an ordinary second-level wizard went crazy because of research knowledge, and was accidentally killed. Why did you apply for high-level assistance?"
Yulia heard this question, her face became serious:
"We found a special high-energy trace in the basement. Although it has declined, it still retains the strength of the third level... The energy level of the thing that left the trace has reached the third level. Moreover, in terms of breath, I am afraid it is not wizard."
"Take me there." Fabole's face straightened.
"Okay, please follow me, Master Fabol..."
As the two of Fabole got deeper and deeper into the house, the voice of the conversation became smaller and smaller.
Colin in the crowd suppressed the shock in his heart, turned and left quickly with a blank expression.
"Isidor is dead! And there are traces of Tier 3 in the basement... Is it a miracle?"
Such thoughts startled Colin.
After leaving last night, what happened in the basement of Isidor's residence? It turned out to be like this!
There is also a miracle... that unique ice element, where did she go?
Colin subconsciously wanted to look around, but the next moment, he reacted, slowed down, and observed the surroundings in a more natural way.
Nothing unusual...Colling paused and stopped a passing stagecoach.
Sitting in the carriage, feeling the slight vibration of the carriage, he suddenly burst into laughter again.
I communicated with Isidor and wore the hidden witchcraft all the time. The only one who knew his identity was Darren Commission.
But in fact, not everyone in Darren’s commission knew his true identity. At least the sorceress who received him only knew his code name Wood Demon, and the remembered face was also disguised.
Colin relaxed a little bit. Miraculously, even if he possesses Tier 3 strength due to certain mutations, he is still an ice element in general, so he probably doesn't know his true identity... I still don't need to worry too much about being approached by him Come.
Thinking about it carefully, maybe my reaction is indeed a little sensitive.
But after all, I just went to that basement yesterday morning, and today, another second-order wizard died strangely—although according to the wizards of the law enforcement team, Isidor died at the hands of the other two wizards.
But this process is somewhat bizarre.
Colin took a light breath, and lifted the cloth curtain on the left side of the carriage.
Grey-black houses and crowds continued to pass by in sight, and the complicated thoughts in his mind calmed down a little, and his mood became calmer.
‘Let’s go out of the city tomorrow. '
Colin opened the gold paper, staring at the progress of the knight column which has reached 99/100, thinking silently.
If there are no accidents, after today's practice, the knight level will reach the limit.
In order to avoid making too much noise during the advanced stage and causing unnecessary troubles, he had to find a suitable place.
Originally according to the plan, he actually planned to wait until a few days later to buy the flower of the cold thorn and improve his frost talent before looking for a secluded place.
But now that a miracle has happened suddenly, it is better to leave for a few days to avoid the limelight.
The next day.
About 10 noon, Colin had arrived at a barren city of mortals.
Choose a secluded mountain forest, plunged directly into the depths of the dense forest, and finally lived in a large cave.
The bonfire was blazing, and a simple gray stone house had appeared in the cave, with stone beds and tables inside, everything was available.
All this only took Colin a few minutes, and the witchcraft used was exactly the wall-building technique that Shelley had mentioned to him when he was in Gubei Village.
As Shelley once said, this is indeed a very useful witchcraft, and the conditions for its use are not high, even the lowest senior apprentices can use it...
Speaking of which, Shelley clearly said that she would return after the cold night was over, but now almost three months have passed...but she is still missing.
The burning firewood crackled, and Colin looked at the bear's paw that was scorched by the flames, and calmed down his thoughts.
…
Neustadt, in a study.
Barr was frowning and questioning Gener who had just arrived: "Why didn't you send someone to monitor Colin yesterday?"
"Something happened yesterday." Gener thought of the interrogation by the law enforcement team, and thought of his beautiful night that was accidentally ruined the night before, and his eyes were a little dark.
He paused, looked at Barr and asked, "That Jin Yu, what happened to him?"
Bar said angrily: "He left Neustadt suddenly yesterday. We just missed such a good opportunity!"
Gner was taken aback for a moment, and his face was a little ugly.
In the past few months, they have been monitoring Colin almost every day. Of course, they mainly monitor whether Colin has left Neustadt.
In order to avoid being discovered, they did not monitor Colin himself, but sent people to guard the gates of Neustadt, the General Department of Transmission, and the Airship Traffic Department.
The purpose of doing this is mainly to find a suitable opportunity.
After all, if you want to attack Jin Yu of the school in the city of Neustadt, it can only be said to be lighting the toilet.
"This time it's my problem." Gener murmured, hating the mad wizard the night before.
It's just that he can't help it no matter how much he hates, everyone has been killed by him... Thinking of this, Gener felt a little restless again.
Although they did kill Isidor in self-defense, after all, a second-tier wizard died, and the law enforcement team still had a lot of troublesome procedures to deal with.
Of course, the thing that annoys Gener the most is that the party was broken up. Although only the wizards of the law enforcement team know about it now, who knows if this news will spread to the family... It really made him lose face!
"Don't worry, that golden feather will not be jumping for a few days." Gener restrained his thoughts, looked at Barr who still had an angry face in front of him, and continued.
Bar was taken aback for a moment: "Have you heard any rumors?"
Genner nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "I don't know the specifics, but our Hidos family seems to have given up on recruiting Colin... Your Bunier family should be the same."
"So the family plans to attack him again?" Barr frowned.
"I'm afraid so. In the past few months, our family has tried to extend an olive branch several times, but they were all rejected." Gener added, thinking that Colin was about to face the family's troubles, he felt a little better some.
"But our purpose is to pry from Colin where the magic stone that Joyce promised us was... Even if the family wants to continue to attack him, what does it matter to us?"
"We still missed this good opportunity."
Gener's complexion froze, and his complexion suddenly became ugly, so he could only muffled:
"I will wait for the opportunity later."
"I hope." Barr gave him a disappointed look, and sighed.
