Chapter 1548 There Is Plenty of Money (Hot Chestnuts Are Better than Moon Cakes)

"What do you want, Weber?"

Back in the room, the white-haired youth grabbed El-Melloi II and asked loudly.

"It's impossible for El-Melloi to be prepared to pay so much money now! Or do you want to provoke the Thousand Worlds Tree?"

"I really don't have that much money."

El-Melloi II nodded.

"But we have to go on, and once the auction is over, then it's over."

"Have you ever thought about it, what if the eldest lady suddenly changes her mind and doesn't plan to buy it? Wouldn't your El-Melloi family be finished? This train is not the kind of place that allows you to make white papers!"

The white-haired youth sighed helplessly.

"Actually, we almost gave up, didn't we? What's the use of raising the price like this? As long as the young lady raises her hand, she will win in the end."

"Does Miss Red Ponytail have so much money?"

Hearing this, Gray next to her couldn't help asking in surprise. Frankly speaking, after the amount reached hundreds of millions, she almost fainted, but with the current amount, this poor country girl can no longer imagine .

"Of course, you may not know that Thousand Worlds Tree has become famous in the watch world in recent years. It controls the production and sales of semiconductor raw materials, as well as the pharmaceutical industry..."

Speaking of this, El-Melloi II also shook his head helplessly. In fact, few people know about this kind of thing. After all, Thousand Boundary Tree is indeed rich, but most people really can't imagine it. This is also normal. For example, chip manufacturers, everyone knows AMD and Intel, but they know little about raw material suppliers such as Umicore and Nichia.

In fact, the products provided by these companies are not secret weapons, they can be said to be household products, such as battery compounds, optoelectronic materials, LED optical components, battery raw materials and so on. But for the public, the names of these companies are far less famous than Toshiba, Intel, Samsung and other companies.

However, the products they provide are the most indispensable.

Simply put, Intel may go bankrupt, and Samsung may go bankrupt, but companies like Umicore almost never have to worry about development prospects and sales of raw materials. Unless there are some new materials that completely subvert the current global technological products and make those things in the past become waste products, they don't have to worry about anything.

And Qianjieshu is also such a raw material supplier at the moment, they are mainly responsible for providing high-quality and cheap semiconductor materials and raw materials for LED displays. With the rapid development of science and technology, with the help of Qianjieshu's own financial resources and Founder's forward-looking vision, Qianjieshu has become one of the world's largest raw material suppliers in just a few years.

It's just that most magicians don't care about technology and don't care. Although some of them have a lot of mines, they are just pure raw material supply, and high-tech raw material supply is completely different. Relying on grasping opportunities and seizing the market, the current Thousand Realm Tree... is not much worse than the Twelve Monarchs' families in the clock tower.

Not to mention that Fangzheng can get money from the CIA and FBI anytime and anywhere.

"But... this is not good..."

Even so, Gray still didn't feel well. After all, no matter how rich Thousand Boundary Tree is, it won't be treated as a fool. Now his master's asking for a price is obviously to delay time. It's fine if it's just a delay, but every time the price is called, the amount will increase, which means that Red Ponytail needs to spend more money to buy the magic eye.

It would be fine if the red ponytail was her enemy, but she had only helped to heal El-Melloi II's injury before... In Gray's view, her master seemed to be repaying her kindness with revenge.

"At that time, I will personally apologize to her."

That's all El-Melloi II can say at the moment.

Soon, everyone returned to the Wanmo Eyeball Library, and the auction that had been suspended began again. In fact, regardless of El-Melloi II, it seems that other people also took this opportunity to collect enough money and plan to fight for the last time.

As a result, the auction price started to rise all the way again, quickly rising from 240 million to 260 million. At this time, the pink-haired girl joined the fight again and directly raised the price to 300 million.

Then, the auction price continued to rise continuously, stopping once when it reached 370 million, and then the white-haired youth increased it to 400 million.

This time, Huaye Lingli withdrew from the fight first, leaving only the white-haired youth and the pink-haired girl to fight each other.

finally………

"Five billion."

The pink-haired girl smiled again and held up the sign, while the white-haired young man silently chose to give up.

However, at this moment, El-Melloi II raised his hand again.

"Please wait a moment."

Seeing El-Melloi II's raised hand, the auctioneer shook his head.

"This auction does not accept second breaks."

"It's not an intermission, I just want to give some suggestions to the magic eye to collect trains."

El-Melloi II spoke, but at this moment.

"Since that's the case, it's not too late to mention it after the auction is over."

Fangzheng stood up.

"One billion, if no one grabs it, I will take it."

“……………………”

This time, no one spoke.

Although it was expected, Gray also involuntarily covered his mouth, even Seo Shizune and Asakami Fujino who were beside Fangzheng gasped at the moment. A billion dollars, that's not a small sum. Although Red Ponytail had always successfully won the Magic Eye at twice the highest price before, everyone thought that Red Ponytail might not do this again this time. After all, no matter what, the increase to 500 million US dollars is already an exaggeration. In their view, the red ponytail can add 50 million at most to end the auction.

But unexpectedly, she still gave a price that no one could imagine without hesitation.

"One billion dollars, two billion dollars, three billion dollars... deals."

The auctioneer knocked down the gavel in his hand.

"Congratulations, Miss Red Ponytail."

"You're welcome, let's wait until the present play is over."

Having said this, Fang Zheng glanced at El-Melloi II.

"I'll settle the score with you later."

After saying this, she sat down and reopened the PSP. Hearing the words of the red ponytail, El-Melloi II also showed a speechless wry smile. Then he coughed and waved to the side.

"Colles, come here."

"Yes."

Hearing El-Melloi II's shout, Coles walked to the center, and then opened the leather bag in his hand.

".........!"

"That is?"

Seeing the things in the purse, all the magicians present couldn't help being agitated, and even the two rituals opened their eyes wide curiously, and cast their gazes downward. I saw that what was exposed in the purse was a woman's head.

To be exact, it was the head of Teresa, the first victim of the previous "Magic Eye Train Murder Case".

"Everyone who knows nothing about the incident, please allow me to occupy your time. As the monarch of the modern magic department, I beg you."

Having said that, El-Melloi II saluted solemnly, and the magicians didn't say anything more. Now that the dust of the auction has settled, the Thousand Worlds Tree has covered all the magic eyes in one go, and they can't get other magic eyes. In this case, let's listen to what El-Melloi II has to say here, Just consider it to pass the time.

"First of all, starting from this case, the victim Teresa was beheaded. As MISS Huaye said, the murderer was Karabo, and the method was to use the power of the magic eye of bubbles he possessed. But in fact , In London seven years ago, a series of similar serial killings also occurred, and the victims were all beheaded, and their heads were missing. So, what do you think when you hear this?"

As he spoke, El-Melloi II spread his hands.

"That is, they are all dead."

“………………???”

Hearing this, everyone present fell silent, and the two ceremonies were also taken aback.

"Isn't this normal? If you lose your head, people will die naturally?"

"It's different, ma'am."

El-Melloi II shook his head.

"Now we have also proved that Teresa's head was hidden by herself, so what about the others? What if we assume that the victims seven years ago were all holders of the magic eye?"

"So you mean that the criminal killed those people to use the magic eye?"

Now Olga Marie also cut into the topic.

"However, isn't it only possible to remove the magic eye and transplant it to someone else on this train? If you say you want to use the magic eye, isn't this also an accomplice?"

"of course not."

El-Melloi II shook his head.

"For this reason, the murderer didn't take out the magic eye, but took the head away."

"???"

Hearing this, Shizune Seo and Fujino Asakami looked at each other suspiciously during the two ceremonies, while the other magicians seemed to have thought of something, and Olga Marie also turned pale.

"So, you mean those heads..."

"That's right."

El-Melloi II nodded.

"The victim's head, which was taken away, is still alive."

"Hey?!!"

Hearing this, the three girls cried out in surprise, while Fang Zheng snorted softly.

"What's so surprising about this? Isn't there already a similar experiment in modern medicine? As long as instruments are used to simulate organs and infuse blood flow, the head of a gorilla can be kept alive for several minutes. Even modern medicine can do it, and of course magic can do it too." Not a problem anymore."

"Woo..."

Facing Fangzheng's explanation, the faces of the three girls were a bit ugly, and Asakami Fujino even stretched out his hand involuntarily to touch his neck——if he had only one head left, he would be living a life worse than death!

Better to be dead!

"But you have been talking for a long time, but you haven't said who the real culprit is."

"makes sense."

At the moment when El-Melloi II's voice fell, suddenly, a white light flashed, and then turned into chains, tightly restraining the young man holding his head.

"Old, teacher?"

Facing this scene, Cowles showed a surprised expression, while El-Melloi II shook his head and looked at Cowles.

"The real culprit who manipulated Carabor Frampton and killed Teresa Philoz—is you."

"Hey?!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"Wait, isn't that... isn't Mr. El-Melloi II's student?"

"Oh, he's a fake."

Fangzheng manipulated the plumber to pass another level, and at the same time answered Jingyin's question casually.

"By the way, the servant who attacked you before was also summoned by him."

"Aha?"

Hearing this, not only the sound was muted, but even Ryoji and Fujino were dumbfounded.

"Really? Xiaohong?"

"Of course, when you were going to deal with the son of Fu Hailin, this guy ran into my room and said something about wanting to cooperate with Thousand World Tree, but I refused, so he Manipulating the servants to attack you...he wanted to take you as hostages, but it turned out that you did a good job, so that guy ran away embarrassingly."

"It's him?"

Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Liang Riyi narrowed his eyes dangerously and stood up. Fortunately, Fujino who was next to her quickly grabbed her.

"Wait, classmate Shi, don't get excited..."

At the same time, Coles, who was restrained, also showed a embarrassed expression.

"Teacher, are you serious? But based on these alone, you can say that I am a murderer..."

"Indeed, I have no evidence."

Having said this, El-Melloi II turned his head.

"So, I've been waiting for him."

At the same time, the others followed El-Melloi II's line of sight, and showed surprised expressions.

"Thank you for catching up."

"It's exhausting, teacher, but it's good to catch up."

The boy wearing glasses sighed and looked down with a wry smile. His appearance, appearance, and even clothes are exactly the same as that of Corles below.

Obviously, this is Cowles himself.

"It really surprised me."

Seeing this, Cowles—or someone pretending to be Cowles smiled.

"I also want to ask you, how did the real Coles get here? To be honest, I thought that if you use the phone or magic to expose it, you can still find a way to get away with it."

"Of course it depends on Miss Ben's efforts."

At this time, the second figure walked in. She looked about the same age as Olga Marie, with golden hair, and bright red eyes shining like burning brilliance.

"Because there is a younger sister who thinks about her elder brother, she traveled thousands of miles and used flying magic all the way to fly here."

"I slept well at home, but when I opened my eyes, I ran into an abandoned building. I thought someone had cast an illusion on me, and when I woke up, several days had passed!"

At this moment, Coles was also gnashing his teeth and staring at the counterfeit.

"Now, you can tell your true identity."

"certainly."

Facing El-Melloi II's question, the other party blinked, and after a while, the boy who was restrained before disappeared, replaced by a tall and thin man with flame-like hair and fair skin. man. And the clothes on his body also turned into a sea blue suit.

"You are the former head of the modern magic department."

"Indeed."

The man nodded.

"This name is correct, because I have never been a LORD, and I am not the same as you. As for my name... my old friends call me DR. Hatteris, if you can call me that, I will Very happy."

"I didn't expect to meet you here."

"This is normal. After all, when you took over as the head of the school, you couldn't hand it over in person. At that time, I had already given up on the clock tower."

Hateres's expression didn't change at all, still with a flat smile.

"By the way, what about my motives? Have you come to a conclusion yet?"

"certainly."

El Mello II took out a cigar—but after glancing at the red ponytail on the PSP, he had to take it back.

"Your purpose is to summon Heroic Spirits."

"bingo."

Hartley snapped his fingers happily.

"It seems that you are quite smart."

"Not only that, you are the one who designed the son of Fu Hailin to appear here. The track of the magic eye collection train is on the spiritual vein, but the staff should have confirmed it in advance. But the son of Fu Hailin still appeared Well, then it can only be considered that someone deliberately designed it. Setting the son of Fu Hailin and the magic eye collection train on the same spiritual vein will inevitably cause distortion, and you used this to try to summon the heroic spirit ,Is it right?"

Having said this, El-Melloi II clenched his fists.

"So, when you summon the servant, you have already achieved your goal."

"That's right."

Hartress nodded, then put his head down, and then he raised his hand.

"Then, you should know that as a MASTER, you have three absolute command rights."

Having said this, Hateres smiled slightly.

"For example... in the name of Command Seals... come here!"

As Hatteris' voice fell, the next moment, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared, completely erasing the barrier that bound Hatteris.
