Chapter 42 Ruben the Spellman
Greg's move was indeed a masterful one.
In addition to the Merlin family's small test just now, among the three major magic families in Garros, the Mannis family and the Saruman family have not even taken action once. The reason why they did not take action is actually not difficult to imagine. They are both One of the three major magic families in Garros, it can be said that they know each other very well and have a tacit understanding that needs no explanation. Who and who should take how many bottles? The three major families know it well, and no one will destroy this secretly maintained tacit understanding. .
It's a pity that Greg didn't give them this chance at all. You like to play modesty, right? Then I might as well give you another push. The Merlin family has just taken three bottles, and they will definitely not be satisfied. Everyone knows that their family has the most fourth-level apprentices, and the other two families have not taken one bottle, and they are even less likely to give up. This But for Arcane Potion, if you miss this opportunity, you don’t know what year you will have to wait for next time.
Now the three major families can't do anything without bayoneting their swords...
There seemed to be a hint of fireworks in the hall that was quiet just now.
People from the three major families were sitting in the front row, not far from each other. At the beginning of the auction, everyone occasionally exchanged a few words, but as this shocking news came out, there seemed to be a sudden confusion among the three people. An invisible wall was erected, and no one had the intention to talk anymore. All eyes fell on Kevin, just waiting for the little wooden hammer to fall...
The atmosphere in the hall became a little depressing for a while, just like the feeling of panic and tightness before a storm comes.
When the auction reaches this point, the six major underground forces and the eight major magic families have lost the chance to compete. Whether it is wealth or power, they are far behind the three major magic families. In fact, even if they had the chance, they would not dare to come forward. In the entire city of Garros, except for the Magic Guild, who else would dare to challenge these three behemoths head-on?
This quiet guild hall is destined to be the stage for the three major families.
But they are still nervous. This auction of arcane potions is likely to change the trend of the entire city of Garros. Even a small detail may determine the life or death of thousands of people.
"Did you see that the guy in front wearing a black mage robe and covering his head with a hood is Ruben Saruman, the patriarch of this generation of the Saruman family." The only person who was not nervous at this time was probably The old and young people hiding behind were gone. Grean looked leisurely and extended his fat finger to the front row while patiently introducing Lin Li.
Lin Li took a look from a distance and found that the aura of the Saruman family patriarch seemed a little weird. It was a very pure feeling that had nothing to do with strength or magic fluctuations. It was just a pure feeling that this man had something strange. Weird, as if lifeless, no matter how you look at it, it always gives people an uncomfortable feeling.
"You feel it too?" Seeing the confusion on Lin Li's face, Grean said with a smile: "Strictly speaking, this guy is not actually a real magician, he is a conjurer!"
"Curse master?" Lin Li was shocked when he heard this, thinking of the McGraney father and daughter: "You mean, he is good at curse spells?"
"Yes, isn't it strange that the patriarch of the magic family is a conjurer..."
"Do you have any inside information?" Looking at Greg's expression, Lin Li knew that this old man must have some inside information.
"Actually, it's not really an inside story. Most of the city of Garros knows this." There was a hint of fear in Grean's voice: "In this city of Garros, except for that old bitch Matthews, I The one I'm most afraid of is actually Ruben, but this guy didn't really have any magic talent when he was a child. He was still only a fourth-level apprentice in his twenties. At that time, let alone us outsiders, even his father had given up on him."
"Shortly after his twenty-fifth birthday, Old Saruman announced his heir, his half-brother Sousa. On the day Old Saruman announced the news, Reuben The city of Garros disappeared. This disappearance lasted for five years. No one knew where he went, and no one knew what he had done in the past five years. It was not until he was thirty years old that Ruben returned to Garros. Los.”
When he said this, Grean paused for a moment, and then continued: "After he came back, the first thing he did was kill people, from his half-brother to his own biological father, All those who were qualified to occupy the position of clan leader were killed by him overnight. After that, Ruben used iron-blooded methods to firmly control the entire family. In the next thirty years, he even controlled the original clan leader. The small Saruman family, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net has single-handedly brought it to its current position as one of the three major families in Garros!"
"Cruel!" This was Lin Li's only comment on Saruman Ruben.
"This man is a lunatic." Grean shook his head, with a hint of frustration in his tone: "Although Matthews is powerful, at least there are weaknesses to be exploited, such as his son and his younger brother, but this lunatic from the Saruman family , I really have nothing to do with him, unless I have absolute strength and can kill him in a flip of my hand... But this lunatic knows how to be patient. Before he is absolutely sure, he will not provoke him and cannot defeat him. The enemy..."
Lin Li didn't pay much attention to Greg's last comment because he was thinking about another thing.
Could the curse in McGrane have something to do with the Saruman family?
But after thinking about it, Lin Li still couldn't figure out the reason. The McGraneys were just ordinary adventurers. Their power was only about level five or six, and their wealth and power were completely out of the question. In Ruben Saruman's case, With their identities, what reason is there to take advantage of them?
Just when Lin Li was troubled, Kevin announced that the climax of the auction was coming.
"Ten bottles of arcane potion, the base price is 100,000 gold coins. If you add 10,000 to 10,000 gold coins, the bidding begins!"
"One hundred and ten thousand gold coins!"
"By the way Feyre, you must know this person. The richest man in Garros City and even the Kingdom of France, the patriarch of the Mannes family - Ysela Mannis!"
"The Mannis family?" Hearing this name, Lin Li couldn't help but think of the gilded roses that bloomed all over Garros. If he hadn't seen a staff among the gilded roses selling for several thousand gold coins, how would he have thought of preparing a potion? The money, but what’s a little funny is that after spinning around, the money ended up on the head of the gold-plated rose...
