Chapter 1328 Not a Lie
wAnd you have a strong man from the holy realm sitting in charge, and I also have a strong man from the holy realm sitting in charge. The real victory or defeat still depends on the army in hand, or on the battlefield. www.) And even the most elite legion is composed of legendary level warriors at most. If the illusion of the mirage bead is used to deal with enemies below the holy realm, it will be a really great weapon.
It is precisely because of this that several major forces are fighting endlessly for the Mirage Pearl. No one wants their opponents to get such a thing that can determine the outcome of a great battle.
"Feire, why don't you buy it? It seems like you can't even afford the money." After Conneris figured it out, he couldn't help but ask Lin Li again.
The Tower of Dusk is now developing into a quite powerful force. If it really displays all its power, it may not be inferior to these sea tribes or human kingdoms. Therefore, if the mirage bead can reach Lin Li's hands, it will definitely increase the strength of the Dusk Tower by another level.
"What's the use of that thing? I'm just the president of the Magic Guild, and I have no intention of unifying the Anriel world." Lin Li said half-jokingly. Of course, this is also true. What Lin Li has to consider now is to find the Immortal King and figure out the secret of his journey to this world, and to deal with the catastrophe that Gresco mentioned.
Therefore, judging from the level of battle Lin Li was about to face, such a mirage bead really wouldn't have much effect. As for the Tower of Twilight, the mage group has the magic network magic array left by Gresco, and there are war weapons like the City in the Sky. There is no need for something like this that can only create illusions.
What's more, to create illusions, Lin Li could use his attainments in the field of inscriptions to come up with a hundred and eighty methods, and the power was only higher than that of the mirage bead. The power of the mirage bead only contained a hint of the power of the holy realm, but the magic patterns drawn by Lin Li himself had already reached the point of containing divine power. After all, why would he spend so much money? Go buy something that is of no use to you at all.
However, this mirage was useless to Lin Li, but it was of great use to several sea tribes and human kingdoms. Perhaps, one of their goals in participating in this auction is this mirage that can influence the situation in a war. After all, there may not be another inscription master like Lin Li in today's Anriel world.
"Fifty million gold coins!"
While Lin Li was talking to Conneris, several more fierce biddings had already passed. Prince Jonathan of the Kingdom of France even quoted a price of 50 million gold coins.
As the price was announced, the entire venue suddenly fell into silence, and the only thing that could be heard was people's heavy breathing. Fifty million gold coins, such a price is rare. Even at the sea market auctions in the past years, I am afraid that it is rare to reach this price. For a kingdom, 50 million gold coins may be enough for several years of tax revenue. If the kingdom really has no foundation, it will be bankrupt right now.
"Damn it. Fifty million gold coins, can't the people of the Kingdom of France be defeated?" Griner, the young master of the giant shark clan, gasped and gasped. A mouth of fine teeth clenched loudly. Even for the giant shark clan, fifty million gold coins is a huge number, not to mention that he is not attending the auction just for this one thing.
In fact, 50 million gold coins is also a very large number for the Kingdom of France. However, after the Kingdom of France overthrew the High Elves, it received a lot of benefits from the High Elves. Although the largest piece of cake was taken away by the Supreme Council, the piece of cake that fell into the hands of the Kingdom of France was not small, especially the wealth in the general sense. Wealth in this general sense. It refers to gold and gems. These things are of little use to the Supreme Council, so most of them are left to the Kingdom of France. Fifty million gold coins are just a drop in the bucket.
Of course, it’s not just the Kingdom of France that has money. It is not difficult for the giant shark clan and several other sea clans, as well as the two countries Rydin and Lordaeron, to come up with 50 million gold coins. But at this point, they had to consider the difference between 50 million gold coins and mirage beads. How to choose?
Prince Tory of Lordaeron sighed helplessly and gave up the idea of continuing the bidding. Prince Jeremiah of the Riding Kingdom hesitated for a long time with the sign in his hand, and finally shook his head and put it down. Young Lord Griner of the Giant Shark Clan crushed the wine glass in his hand to pieces, but still did not bid for a higher price.
"Fifty-one million gold coins," Manson, the young master of the Thunder Eel tribe, tentatively increased the price by one million gold coins. Auctions are not just about who has more money, but also a psychological battle. Buying and bidding also requires strategy.
At this auction, there are more than just one or two good things. No matter how rich you are, it is impossible to buy all the good things. What's more, there is competition here. It's not just how much you pay. If someone else raises the price, you don't know how much the final transaction will be. Therefore, it is impossible to put all the prepared funds into the bidding at once, unless you are not planning to participate in any bidding later.
Manson quoted a price of 51 million gold coins, which was already beyond the limit of the Thunder Eels' planned investment in this mirage bead. If it exceeds one million gold coins, it may not have a big impact on the plan, but if the Kingdom of France raises the price again, then they will have to give up and continue bidding.
Manson was not too determined to give up. After all, the power of the mirage bead was still very important to the Thunder Eels. Although the mages of the Thunder Eels are powerful, they have a fatal flaw. After being rushed into the formation, it is almost impossible to fight back. If there is the protection of the illusion created by the mirage bead, the mage group will have an extra layer of barrier in front. Even if it is rushed into the formation by the giant shark knight, it can still deal with it calmly.
"Fifty-one million gold coins. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price? Five-one million gold coins." Grand Duke Vidi looked around the venue. Seeing that the entire venue was silent, he began to shout out the price.
However, before Grand Duke Vidi could bid for the second time, a voice came from the box of the envoy from the Kingdom of France, causing the entire venue to fall into an uproar again.
"Fifty-three million gold coins!"
Prince Jonathan's voice rang out in the venue, like a boulder thrown into the water, making the originally silent venue boil. Even though it was only an additional two million gold coins, it could be seen from this that Prince Jonathan was determined to win the mirage. From this point alone, everyone can see that if someone continues to bid, Jonathan will most likely continue to follow suit.
As for the Thunder Eels, Manson also shook his head slightly. It seems that I have to give up the mirage bead. Although the mirage bead is of great use to the Thunder Eels, it is not enough for him to fight for it with all his strength, but the Kingdom of France is obviously going to put all his efforts into it. If the fight continues, the price might suddenly hit the 67 million mark, and such a price would not be worth the gain.
After Grand Duke Vidi raised the price three times, the wooden hammer in his hand fell heavily, and the high-priced auction was completed with one stroke. Under the complicated gazes of everyone, including regret and regret, the huge mirage was carried down by the people at the auction house. You can imagine. Soon that mirage will become the property of the Kingdom of France.
However, for many sea people, it is not a particularly bad thing for the mirage to be bought by the Kingdom of France. After all, the Kingdom of France is only a continental country and has basically no maritime power. Even if it has a war weapon like a mirage in hand, it will not have much impact on the Sea Clan.
The only ones to worry about are the Kingdom of Riding and the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Especially between the Kingdom of Leiding and the Kingdom of France, there have always been constant border frictions. God knows when the two countries will fight. Prince Jeremiah is a dandy. But I can also think of the problems involved, and I regret why I didn't make up my mind to fight again.
The mirage was carried down to complete the transaction, and the auction continued under the auspices of Grand Duke Vidi. At this time, there was a knock on the door of the box where Lin Li was sitting. After Lin Li's invitation, Prince Jonathan walked in with two entourages.
"Prince Jonathan, congratulations on capturing the mirage as expected." Lin Li stood up with a smile and moved Prince Jonathan to his seat.
However, there was not much joy on Prince Jonathan's face. After sitting down, he said: "President Feyre, I know your character, so I won't beat around the bush. I came here this time to ask you for a favor."
Although Prince Jonathan did not have much contact with Lin Li, after all, they were both from the Anriel continent. He also knew something about Lin Li's character, so he went straight to the point and told the purpose of his visit without saying a few polite words.
"Prince Jonathan is so polite. We have cooperated a lot, so it's just a big deal. If you need help with anything, please just say it. I will help you if I can. Of course I won't refuse." Lin Li's words were not polite at all. There has been business between the Tower of Dusk and the Kingdom of France for a long time. In terms of medicines and weapons and equipment, the Kingdom of France is one of the major customers of the Tower of Dusk. It's not hard to say how good the relationship is, but at least the two sides have never had any obvious conflicts.
"It's like this. President Feyre also knows that we just took the shot of the mirage bead. In fact, this is also my main goal in participating in this auction. However, I want to use the power of the mirage bead. , and it is indispensable to use special magic patterns to cooperate, otherwise this thing can only be a decoration. President Ferre is now the fourth arbiter of the Supreme Council. I want to ask President Ferre for help to see if I can get it from the highest level. The parliament will help us invite some inscription masters." Prince Jonathan didn't know that the young President Ferre in front of him had extraordinary attainments in the field of inscriptions, so he just hoped that Lin Li could use his status as an arbiter to help They invited several inscription masters from the Supreme Council.
"Oh?" Lin Li was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Prince Jonathan should know that I, the fourth arbiter, have just taken up the position. With the temper of those inscription masters, I am afraid that no one will buy my account. This one I’ve written down the things, but if they don’t want to, I can’t force them to do anything, so don’t have too much hope.”
What Lin Li said cannot be said to be a lie. In the Anriel world, the status of inscription masters is very high. If magicians are said to be members of the aristocratic class, then inscription masters are the nobles among the nobility. In the Supreme Council, the status of inscription masters is also extremely high. Even Anduin, the speaker, may not be able to command those gentlemen. Although it is said that the inscription masters will not be obedient to the three arbiters, Lin Li has just become the fourth arbiter, so it is not certain whether he can instruct those inscription masters.
Prince Jonathan naturally understood the secrets here, so he was not disappointed by Lin Li's ambiguous words. In any case, the other party is also the fourth arbiter, so what he says still has a certain effect, and he will not let the inscription masters work in vain. What is missing is such a bridge-building person.
Seeing that Lin Li agreed to his request, Prince Jonathan stopped disturbing him with a wink, got up and left the box.
When Prince Jonathan left, Conneris laughed and said: "He actually asked you to hire an inscription master for him, but he didn't know that the person sitting in front of him was an inscription master. What do you mean, are you going to help yourself? Will he really let those half-bottles of water from the Supreme Council help him?"
If the inscription masters of the Supreme Council knew that they were being called half-full, they would probably be so angry that they would go berserk on the spot. For example, Master Mok, who drew the magic pattern for the Tower of Twilight, had his nostrils almost pointing to the sky. If Lin Li hadn't shown his hand, that guy wouldn't have known how much he weighed.
"Let's talk about it then. Anyway, it's just to activate the power of the mirage beads, and it's not too complicated to use magic patterns. The level of those on the Supreme Council is enough." Lin Li said nonchalantly. It's not that he doesn't want to help Jonathan, but after all, the friendship between the two parties is not deep. If he says that he can complete the magic pattern for him, the other party may not believe it, so why bother looking for Boring.
After a few chats, another auction item was moved to the stage. Grand Duke Vidi reached out and lifted the red cloth covering it, and what was revealed was a painting. At this time, everyone in the venue was a little confused. Although artworks also have the ability to let people understand the rules, the comparison effect is not very obvious. It is obvious that the quality is not enough in such an auction.
"This painting is a gift from the Octopus Clan to the Jindu Kingdom. It was painted by the legendary master Heldenos of the Octopus Clan." Grand Duke Vidi actually didn't even understand what Bradlow and the others were doing. Why are you so crazy? Let’s not talk about the impact of the auction of diplomatic gifts. How can such a painting be auctioned for a good price? To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. m
