Chapter 257： Recruit new members (ask for a monthly ticket!)

Chapter 257 Recruiting New Members (Ask for a monthly pass!)

The old man named Maldiz was once a high-ranking officer in the imperial military and participated in the second overseas landing battle.

Have gone through wars and made great achievements.

After retiring, the old man was honored as an honorary marquis, and he can be regarded as the upper class among the imperial dignitaries.

At the same time, he was also the immediate boss of Pompey and Siebert, and he valued them a lot during the war.

It was only because of a war at that time that Pompeii and Siebert had a disagreement, which eventually led to the two who were originally comrades-in-arms directly turning against each other, and they never communicated with each other.

This time, it was because the old Mr. Maldiz's granddaughter, Miss Rui, had some physical problems and asked them for help. This made the two meet again after many years.

"Um...forget it, Pompeii."

Malediz said slowly, shaking his head.

"General, although I hate Pompey, I have to say that I also know the young man he is talking about...Mr. Jack is indeed very talented, why don't you let him try, maybe..."

Siebert said in a deep voice under Pompeii's surprised eyes.

But before he finished speaking, Maldiz raised his hand to stop him.

"Okay, I don't need to say any more. It's not that I don't trust you, but that I don't trust that young man named Jack... The problem with little Rui Yi touches on mystery, not an ordinary intractable disease.

And I've found the cure, which is why we're here today, isn't it? "

Pompey and Siebert showed regret, but finally nodded.

Since the old boss disagrees, there is no other way.

They are only responsible for making ideas, and the real decision is made by Maldiz himself. After all, it is about the favorite granddaughter of the old boss. If you are more cautious, they will understand.

"Five hundred and sixty gold pounds."

The man who bid with Chen Lun raised his sign again, and cast a warning look at the same time.

Chen Lun smiled slightly.

"Six hundred gold pounds."

The plain words are like those dignitaries who bid for the auction just now, and they don't care about this little money at all.

The man was a little annoyed, but he still gritted his teeth and raised his sign.

"Six hundred and ten gold pounds!"

He is just an ordinary extraordinary person in the field, stepping into the mysterious field is all due to luck.

Most of the money used for the auction was the family inheritance, which had been supporting him as he staggered forward, but more than 600 gold pounds had almost reached his limit.

This made him anxious.

He was bound to win this lot, because he had been stagnant in Sequence 9 for many years, and recently encountered danger and was followed by a mysterious person.

He urgently needs follow-up extraordinary knowledge, so as to be promoted.

but now…

"Six hundred and fifty gold pounds."

Chen Lun was too lazy to add ten gold pounds slowly, directly raising the price by a notch.

The man who was bidding with him gritted his teeth and raised the sign tremblingly. Looking at Chen Lun, his eyes also changed from anger to pleading.

"Six hundred and sixty gold pounds..."

He opened and closed his mouth slightly, and silently said the words "Please" to Chen Lun.

Chen Lun saw it clearly, but remained indifferent.

"Seven hundred gold pounds."

He raises the price again.

This time, the man finally retreated and sat down on the chair, feeling powerless. The feeling of despair and pain even surprised the two distinguished guests next to him.

They can't understand at all, it's just a book, why should they be so lost.

The other guests seemed to have no interest in the book and did not get involved. In the end, the host tapped the gavel three times, announcing that "The Keyhole" belonged to Chen Lun.

‘Actually, this book already has a premium price. According to the extraordinary knowledge of general Sequence 8, the price only fluctuates between five or six hundred gold pounds...but the auction will indeed be much higher than the market price. '

Chen Lun thought to himself.

He glanced casually, and noticed that the man who didn't get the mysterious book had already left the scene lonely. With heavy steps, he walked outside.

Chen Lun thought for a while, and waved to a waiter beside him.

The waiter bent down, and Chen Lun whispered something in his ear.

The waiter nodded and chased after the man.

After stopping him, after some communication, the man turned his head and looked at Chen Lun with a surprised expression.

At the same time, the other party's eyes were full of hope.

‘It is an extraordinary combat power after all. If you can buy it with a piece of knowledge, it would be a good choice...The circus has a long way to go in the future. '

Chen Lun shook his head slightly.

He asked the waiter to convey a message, that is, the extraordinary knowledge of [Sequence 8 - Locksmith] can be given to that man, but there are conditions.

If you are interested, you can wait for the venue to discuss in detail.

"The next lot is a material from the mysterious field. Its name is 'Sunset Chrysanthemum Dew', which is rich in fragrance and strong medicinal power. If it is formulated in a special way, it can even be made into a 'panacea' to cure various diseases."

The host Yuri described a small tube of transparent liquid in his hand in a very seductive tone.

"According to the request of the consignor, the starting price is two hundred gold pounds, and each price increase shall not be less than five gold pounds."

Chen Lun couldn't help but laugh.

The words of the host are obviously misleading.

Because many supernatural materials can be formulated to cure diseases, not the sunset chrysanthemum dew. But these ordinary people don't know it. Even if they are in high positions and have power and wealth in their hands, most of them only have a half-knowledge about the things in the mysterious field.

And even for deployment, a superhuman of the relevant sequence is needed.

Not everyone can concoct extraordinary potions.

Sure enough, the guests in the audience became interested.

"Two hundred and five gold pounds."

"Two hundred and ten gold pounds!"

"Two hundred and twenty-five gold pounds."

"Two hundred and fifty gold pounds..."

"..."

The fierce bidding began, which made Chen Lun secretly shake his head.

I just came to buy a piece of ceremony materials, but I didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

Even if these ordinary dignitaries captured this material, it would not be of much use, it was just aroused by the host's desire.

‘Looks like I’ve spent a lot of money…’

Chen Lun thought blankly.

"Five hundred gold pounds."

At this time, an old voice came from the corner.

Chen Lun looked out of the corner of his eye, and it was the old man who was with Pompeii Siebert.

"Five hundred and five pounds!"

"Five hundred and twenty gold pounds."

"Five hundred and thirty gold pounds!"

The sound of bidding didn't stop, it kept ringing.

The old man said again in a deep voice:

"One thousand gold pounds."

This time, it was a little quieter.

Chen Lun frowned slightly.

'This price is several times higher...'

He didn't quite understand why the old man was so obsessed with "Sunset Chrysanthemum Dew", and he hadn't seen the other party bid for other things before.

It can be seen from this that the old man came here for this thing.

Consistent with your own purpose.

"Twelve hundred gold pounds."

Chen Lun raised the sign tentatively.

The people present no longer bid, and obviously they are not willing to spend so much money to buy a so-called "panacea" material.

Although they have money, they are not so stupid that they don't take money seriously.

"Fifteen hundred gold pounds."

The old man glanced at Chen Lun this time.

Seeing that the other party is so strong, Chen Lun doesn't intend to continue fighting with him.

Silently put down the sign.

He had a hunch that if he raised the price, the other party would definitely follow suit. If it goes on like this, it will be endless, and there is no need to spend so much money for a piece of sunset chrysanthemum dew.

Chen Lun remembered Rosa's reply before, that all the sunset chrysanthemum dew in the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce's inventory were bought by an old noble from Huangtie City.

‘This old man may be the old noble who emptied the Chamber of Commerce’s inventory. '

Chen Lun thought to himself.

"If it's really him, then he should have stockpiled a lot of sunset chrysanthemum dew. After the venue is over, go talk to him... With the Viscount Pompeii and Mr. Siebert acting as intermediaries, you should try to get it and sell a copy Give me. '

After he gave up the bidding, the sunset chrysanthemum fell into the hands of the old man.

There was nothing outstanding about the subsequent auctions, so Chen Lun simply left the venue and went outside.

In a remote corner on the third floor of the shopping mall, he found the man waiting here.

"Sir! Is what you told the waiter to me just now true?"

The man looks excited.

Chen Lun nodded and chuckled.

"If you are willing to agree to my conditions, I can give you a copy of the extraordinary knowledge of [Sequence 8 - Locksmith] for free."

The man was taken aback for a moment, and then struggled and struggled on his face.

He understands that if you give away such valuable knowledge, the conditions must be extremely harsh.

"Sir, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Morey."

The man took a deep breath, calmed down, and stretched out his hand.

Chen Lun shook hands with him briefly and said:

"Jack."

"Mr. Jack, what is the condition you mentioned...?"

"Join my team and work for me."

Chen Lun spoke directly.

The other party is just a Sequence 9 Transcendent, so recruiting him is just a temporary idea. Chen Lun doesn't want to spend too much energy on this matter.

Morey didn't seem surprised by this, but he asked after a few seconds of silence:

"Excuse me... who is your team?"

"A supernatural organization, currently there are not many people, but they are all partners who trust each other... However, temporary members like you need to sign a contract with me."

Chen Lun explained.

"Sorry, this is just an insurance measure, I need to be responsible for other members."

Morey's tangled eyes were even worse. He rubbed his hands on his face, looking extremely struggling.

"Don't rush to make a decision, I can give you some time to think about it... I will stay for another hour after the venue is over."

Chen Lun said lightly.

Morey took a deep breath, and suddenly said:

"Mr. Jack, no...don't wait any longer, I am willing to join your team and serve you. But could you please do me a favor...? This is one of the reasons why I am so thirsty for extraordinary knowledge."

"Oh? Tell me."

Chen Lun asked with interest.

"Help me kill someone!"

Morey swallowed, and said in a deep voice.
