Chapter 373 The Auction Ends
"There is only one chance, and you must not miss it!"
The old man with vertical pupils flashed his eyes, and a cold expression appeared on his face. He shook the golden bell vigorously, raising the price of the Sword of Sindra by 3,000 magic stones.
At this time, the price of the Sword of Sindra has reached 93,000 magic stones!
"One hundred thousand!"
In another box, the sound of the bell shaking came again. A second-level wizard family belonging to the [Eye of the Hurricane] launched a bid for the Sword of Sindra.
The price of the auction item exceeded 100,000, and Colin the wizard showed a trace of excitement on his face.
"One hundred and twenty thousand!"
The old man with vertical pupils had an indifferent expression and directly raised the price by 20,000 magic stones, which caused an uproar in the hall and shocked other competitors.
The price of one hundred and twenty thousand magic stones was almost beyond everyone's ability to bear.
The wizard families who originally coveted the Sword of Sindra shook their heads and chose to give up. Although the magic wizard weapon was extremely precious, if the price exceeded one hundred thousand magic stones, they would need to consider it.
The corners of the old man with vertical pupils raised, and a smile appeared on his face.
If other competitors give up, it means that the Sword of Sindra will fall into his hands, and only by getting this special magic wizard weapon can the plan of the vertical pupil old man continue.
"One hundred and twenty thousand magic stones once!"
"One hundred and twenty thousand magic stones twice!"
"One hundred and twenty thousand magic stones three times!"
"Deal! Congratulations to bidder No. 172 for successfully winning the magic wizard weapon Sword of Sindra!"
"All the items in this auction have been sold. Next, please pay and take away your auction items. This year's Wind Valley Auction will also officially end!"
With the loud voice of Colin the wizard, the auction was announced to be over. Enzo and Fiana went to the backstage and successfully took away the auction items after paying.
"Flower of the Void..."
Fiana carefully put away the Flower of the Void. After getting the guarantee when she was promoted to a wizard, she seemed to be relieved.
"It fits well when she puts it on."
Enzo also took his auction items, including the shadow witchcraft model and the dragon heart, which were directly thrown into the space ring, and the blood robe was put on.
The blood-red robe exuded a strange aura, making Enzo vaguely resemble a vampire. The magic item had not yet given birth to a spirit, but as a top-level magic item, the blood-red robe revealed a desire for the blood of living beings.
The auction was over, and there was no point in staying in the Valley of the Wind. The Kellytel family simply rested and set out on the journey back to the City of Misty City the next day.
…
At the same time, outside the Valley of the Wind.
On the endless plain, a black carriage was moving slowly. The surface of the carriage was painted with a black Ouroboros pattern, and there was a vertical pupil in the center.
In front, four black-clad cavalrymen were walking in front of the carriage to explore the way.
Herod!
In vain, the mount under the black-clad cavalryman's crotch seemed to sense the danger and let out a sharp neigh in fear. A ball of fire appeared in the air, quickly forming a huge lava palm, which violently grabbed a black-clad cavalryman.
"Sir, help me..."
The black cavalryman's words turned into a painful wail before they finished speaking. Under the grip of the huge lava hand, the black cavalryman and his mount were devoured by the hot flames and turned into ashes.
"Beware!!"
The remaining three black cavalrymen drew out the cross swords at their waists, their eyes flickered and turned into vertical pupils, and fine black snake scales appeared on their skin.
"Hmph! The trash of the Black Snake Church actually dared to participate in the Wind Valley Auction. They are really brave!"
Not far away, a bald wizard appeared, with hot air emanating from his bare chest, and his eyes seemed to be burning with flames.
"Kill him!"
The three black cavalrymen charged, and the original human heads gradually turned into snake heads, and the slender necks quickly bit the bald wizards.
"Hmph!"
The bald wizard snorted coldly, with a grim smile on his face. His arms burning with flames grabbed the attacking snake head, and the flames spread over, instantly burning the black cavalryman to ashes.
After only one round of fighting, all three black knights were killed by the bald wizard!
The mortals who were given power by the old snake man were as powerful as extraordinary knights, but they were still vulnerable to the bald wizard, so the strength of the bald wizard became very obvious.
Second-level wizard!
Only when you reach the second-level wizard can you kill four black snake knights so easily. After the bald wizard cleared the four minions, he looked at the carriage in front.
"Get out, old snake man!"
The bald wizard crossed his arms and a bloodthirsty expression appeared on his face. He shouted at the carriage unceremoniously.
"Hehe."
A low laugh came from the carriage with the Ouroboros pattern. As the door was slowly pushed open, the old snake man with a pair of vertical pupils walked out.
"Master wizard blocked the way and killed my church believers. I wonder if you can give a reason?"
The old snake man walked out of the carriage with a gentle smile on his face and whispered to the bald wizard.
"Reason? How ridiculous!"
The bald wizard showed disdain and sneered, "The Black Snake Church has been doing evil things in the Dark Territory and has caused massacres one after another. The [Northern Parliament] has long regarded you as an evil church, but has never had time to deal with it."
"I killed some evil believers and cleared the cancer for the Dark Territory. Do I need a reason?"
The old snake man had a calm face and smiled and shook his head.
"Master Wizard, you specially intercepted me here. Are you really just planning to eradicate the evil cult for the Dark Territory?" The old snake man said with a smile.
"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense."
The bald wizard frowned and said coldly, "Hand over the Sword of Syndra as soon as possible. Maybe I can give you a chance to survive!"
"It's really for the magic weapon."
Old Snake seemed to have expected it, and there was no expression of surprise on his face. He shook his head and sighed, "It seems that as a heretic, even if [Hurricane Eye] allows me to participate in the auction, it will not keep my information confidential!"
After saying that, Old Snake raised his head, swung his wide cuffs, and a worn-out long sword appeared in his hand.
Magical witchcraft, the Sword of Syndra!
The bald wizard's heart was on fire, and a greedy luster appeared in his eyes.
"Give me the Sword of Syndra, and you can leave." There was a hint of enthusiasm in the bald wizard's voice, as if he was eager to get the Sword of Syndra.
"Leave? Ha! Does the wizard really intend to let me leave?"
Old Snake sneered, shook his head, and said quietly, "If that's the case, why do you want to set up a rune trap ahead and let your companions ambush you there?"
Hearing what Old Snake said, the bald wizard was shocked.
Then, he narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "So you discovered it from the beginning?"
In an area in front of the plain, a mass of blood mist condensed into a human figure, with long blood-red hair hanging on the shoulders, and strange eyes shining with red luster.
"It has been rumored to the outside world that the leader of [Black Snake Church] is a great guy. I didn't take you seriously at first, but since you can see through my hiding, it seems that you do have some strength!"
The red-haired wizard's voice was thin, making it difficult to tell the difference between male and female, but judging from the aura he exuded, he was obviously a vampire blood wizard, most likely from the Fang Blood Shadow.
Second-level wizard, Norama!
The second-level wizard with vampire blood and the bald wizard were not originally companions, but they both coveted Old Snake's Sword of Syndra, so they decided to join forces to ambush Old Snake.
Anyway, the Black Snake Church is an evil church. Even if he is killed openly, it will not violate the law, but will be rewarded by the council!
According to the information circulated by the outside world, the true strength of the leader of the Black Snake Church has never been clear, so the bald wizard roped in the Norama wizard just to be on the safe side.
The plan to have Norama set up a rune trap and prepare to ambush the old snake was also proposed by the bald wizard. Obviously, the recklessness he showed on the surface was just an illusion.
"I will be the main attacker, and you will be responsible for assisting!"
At this time, the bald wizard locked his eyes on the old snake and said solemnly, ": Fight as quickly as possible, and seize the Sword of Syndra first."
"No problem!" Norama replied.
Facing the siege of the two second-level wizards, Old Snake did not show any panic on his face. His palms covered with fine scales gently stroked the Sindra Sword and murmured in a low voice: "I want to rely on the power of this sword." , to find the lost map of God, you must sacrifice a powerful enough soul!"
"I was still thinking about the target, but now that you two have appeared, let's become a sacrifice for the Sword of Syndra..."
The old snake's eyes flashed with a strange light, and his body began to gradually change. Black scales continued to spread, covering his whole body.
In a moment, the old snake had transformed into a black python, with a dragon-claw-like arm extending from the left side of the body, holding the Sword of Syndra tightly.
"Come on! Let you see my true strength before you die!"
Strong energy fluctuations burst out on the endless plain, and the confrontation between the two second-level wizards and the old snake formed a terrifying power.
…
Wow!
The sky was dark, streaks of lightning flashed across, and heavy raindrops fell, splashing countless water splashes on the ground.
Tap!
The white magic horse moved forward steadily, and the beautiful girl sitting on it had a calm face. She relied on magic power to form a transparent light shield, blocking the rain.
Behind it was a golden carriage, its huge wheels rolling over the muddy ground, leaving two long ruts, like ditches.
"Miss Fiana, it's getting late. Can you let the team take a rest first?"
Next to him, another white-robed wizard who was taciturn and had almost no presence suddenly spoke up and made a suggestion to Fiana.
"Through this area, you can reach the Kingdom of Roca. Let's rest when we get there, Uncle Ifat!" Fiana said.
The white-robed wizard next to him is the only first-level wizard in the Caitel family fleet. As the person sent by Wizard Morgan to assist Fiana, Ifat is taciturn and rarely expresses his emotions and opinions.
"That's fine." Wizard Ifat nodded.
The Kelitel family motorcade continued to move forward. Three days had passed since the Nausicaa Auction. After everything was over, the motorcade was on its way back to the City of Mist.
A sudden sound came from ahead.
Fiana's eyes flashed, and she immediately raised her arm to signal the convoy to stop.
"Help! Someone help me!"
In the forest not far away, a woman with a baby in her arms ran out staggeringly, with several injured guards beside her.
"Don't run away, little fat sheep!"
"Haha, catch that woman!"
From behind, there was a burst of arrogant laughter, and men dressed like gangsters rushed out on horseback, surrounding the woman and her guards.
"Gangsta?"
Fiana frowned slightly, a trace of disgust appeared on her face. The scene in front of her seemed to be a gang of bandits robbing the brigade, and the woman holding the baby was their target.
The woman holding the baby sat helplessly on the ground, and the guards beside her raised their weapons tremblingly, while the bandits rode horses in a circle.
As if they were in the mood of cat and mouse, the bandits were not in a hurry to attack, but kept making strange laughter, bringing fear to their prey.
"Save me! Who will save me!"
The woman hugged the baby in her arms tightly and cried desperately. Fiana's face turned cold and she waved to the convoy behind her, as if she was going to take action to get rid of the bandits.
"Wait a minute, Fiana."
At this time, a voice came from the golden carriage, and Enzo pushed open the door and walked out, saying indifferently: "Kalan Kingdom belongs to the territory of the Kalan family. The public security has always been good, and there should be no gangs."
When there was movement in the forest just now, Enzo noticed something unusual, and the chip in his mind also sounded an alarm, detecting that there was a person with a life level of no less than level two, hiding nearby.
In front, the gang had already launched an attack.
With only one round of charge, several guards were killed by the bandits, but the woman with the baby in her arms unexpectedly survived and even broke out of the bandits' encirclement.
Under the threat of death, the woman seemed to have a strong will. She ran forward desperately, looked up and saw the Kellytel family convoy, and a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"Help! Please save my child!"
The woman struggled to cry for help, and at this time, the bandits on horseback behind her had already caught up, raising their butcher knives as if they would fall the next moment.
Fiana bit her lip and couldn't help wanting to attack.
"Don't mind your own business." Enzo said indifferently.
"But..." Fiana hesitated. The woman being chased by the bandits was less than 20 meters away from her at this time. She staggered and fell to the ground.
"Die with your cub!"
Behind her, the bandits laughed fiercely. The woman's eyes were full of despair. Seeing that the sharp scimitar was about to fall, Fiana couldn't help it and rushed over on the magic horse.
"Wind Blade Attack!"
Fiana waved her hand and released a witchcraft. More than ten wind blades flew out and knocked the horse-riding bandit to the ground in an instant.
"Thank you! Thank you!"
The woman who had brushed shoulders with the god of death showed the relief of surviving the disaster on her face. She kowtowed to Fiana and thanked her. At the same time, she lifted the baby in her arms, as if she was going to give it to Fiana to take care of.
After saving the mother and child from the bandits' machete, Fianna smiled. Just as she was about to take the baby, her expression suddenly changed.
"Go to hell!"
The woman kneeling on the ground suddenly looked ferocious, and the baby she held up let out a sharp cry and suddenly pounced on Fianna.
