Chapter 777

Ren's gaze penetrated the door, and he saw a beautiful half-elf standing outside the door.

Viola has been the pope for more than a year. She has a noble bearing and a majestic demeanor, and her beautiful appearance is even more embarrassing. Most people dare not even take a second look. The two Ultramarines guarding the gate knew her identity, so they didn't stop her.

However, she looked a little anxious at the moment.

Ren just reacted a little slower, and Viola couldn't wait to knock on the door again when he heard Ren's voice from the study: "Come in."

The door opened automatically.

Viola walked in and saw Ren sitting behind the desk.

Just at this time, the bright sunlight came in from the window and fell on Ren's body, as if coating him with a layer of dazzling light, shining brightly, which made Viola's mind stunned for a while, and a sudden panic occurred. A strange sense of awe.

"What's wrong? Didn't you rest well last night?"

Ren looked up at the half-elf who had stopped in his tracks, with a gentle expression on his face, showing the concern that only the closest lovers can have.

"It's okay, I'm just happy to see you." Viola showed a happy smile, and the whole room became brighter like a hundred flowers blooming, and said softly: "I heard that you got a floating city, I'm happy for you. I didn't have time to congratulate you."

"Hahaha……"

Ren got up and went around the desk, took her slender catkins and sat down on the sofa together, and said with a playful expression: "You don't just want to congratulate me, do you?"

"I really can't hide anything from you." Viola was quite helpless.

Since I met Ren, I have watched him grow from an ordinary person step by step to the point where I even look up to him. In front of him, I feel like a different person, and I will always be understood by him. Now that Ren's strength and status are no less than that of the Holy Soul Wizard, I am even more passive.

Sometimes, she even felt an inexplicable sense of crisis, but she was very powerless, and she didn't know how to catch up with Ryan.

Ren put his arms around her shoulders, "The Duke of Silver Star asked you to come?"

"Yes." Viola nodded lightly.

"She reacted very quickly, and she played the family card with me so quickly." Ren shook his head noncommittally, and asked, "What does the Duke of Silver Star want to say?"

Seeing his very casual attitude when he mentioned the Duke, Viola's heart was shaken, and he really realized that Ren was different from the past. He was on the same level as the Holy Soul Sorcerer, and his status was slightly higher. Even the Duke asked him to be on his head.

Viola said: "The Duke wants to meet with you privately as soon as possible to talk about the auction of the Floating Void City. It is best to arrange it immediately."

"There's nothing to talk about." Ren refused without hesitation.

"Isn't it okay to meet each other?" Viola was a little worried, "After all, she is my great-grandmother. If you don't even see her, I'm afraid she will get angry."

Ren glanced at the half-elf. Although she is now the leader of a sect, her strength has improved very fast, and she has been promoted to a high-level legend, but she grew up under the prestige of the Duke of Silver Star, and she is still afraid of her great-grandmother. , it is difficult to get rid of the shadow.

"I don't care if she gets angry or not." Ren sneered, "It's meaningless to meet. The rules of the auction have been set. If she wants the floating city, she can bid. I can't break the rules for her."

"But..." Viola's eyes were worried.

"No but, I won't see her."

Ren interrupted her, put his big arms around her slender waist, and comforted: "We have nothing to do to her. With my backing, you don't have to be afraid of her. Even without me, you are now a member of the Goodness Church Pope, voter of the lady with long hair, she dare not touch you."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Viola knew that he could not change it.

She could only sigh: "I see."

Ren shook his head secretly. The prestige of the Holy Soul Sorcerer is too scary. Viola's fear of the Duke of Silver Star is hard to get rid of in the short term. She may have to wait until she is promoted to the Holy Soul Sorcerer with the help of the long-haired lady before she can completely change her mentality. .

At that time, she will find out that Duke Silver Star is a "parallel importer".

Whether it is personal strength or the mentality of a strong man, the Duke of Silver Star is far behind other holy soul wizards, and it is even more incomparable with the level of the Big Three.

Viola no longer talked about the Duke of Silver Star, and her mood became lively. She stared at her man's face with beautiful eyes, and asked curiously: "Ren, are you really going to sell the floating city? I was scared when I heard about it." I jumped, thinking that the Duke was lying to me. Why didn't you keep the floating city?"

This is a floating city!

Even she thinks Xinxiang Floating Void City is too ugly, but compared to the status and power of Floating Void City, it doesn't matter how ugly it is, let alone it can be transformed.

Ren was talking when he heard an exclamation.

"You want to sell the floating city!"

A fiery red figure was teleported in front of her. Her petite body was wearing an elegant and luxurious long dress, her long silver-gold hair was coiled behind her head, and she was wearing a crown of jewels. It was Emily.

She looked shocked, and asked again: "Ren, are you going to sell the floating city?"

Viola got up from Ren's arms, regained her papal demeanor in front of outsiders, nodded slightly to Emily, and called softly, "Your Majesty the Queen."

Emily also called the Pope to return the salute, and then turned her eyes back to Ren. Now she only cares about the floating city in her mind, and she doesn't care about the intimacy between Ren and Viola. She has no thoughts at all. Jealousy.

"Yes, I'm going to auction it off."

Ren briefly talked about the auction in three days' time.

Emily's purple eyes gradually brightened, and her breathing became a little short unconsciously. If he can get a floating city, not only his strength will skyrocket and he will have the opportunity to be promoted to the holy rank, but the Drogonburg family's rule over Congatro will be even more unshakable!

Regardless of Viola's presence, she sat beside Ren, took his arm, and said expectantly, "Ren, I also want to participate in this auction."

Ren shook his head: "You can't."

"Why?" Emily looked stunned.

"You are not from the Empire." Ren explained: "Only citizens of the Orienser Empire are eligible to bid for the Floating Void City, but the Imperials are not enough. The buyer must be a wizard or a holy spellcaster. Do you think the Supreme Council can Allow the floating city to fall under the control of foreigners?"

Emily was disappointed, she was neither an imperial nor a wizard.

But she was not reconciled.

"Ren, can't you make an exception for me for Rex's sake?" Emily shook Ren's arm and begged, "If I get the Floating Void City, it will be passed to Rex sooner or later." Max, he's your son."

This reason is very good, but Ren hesitated for a while, but still shook his head and refused.

Emily's eyes dimmed.

She let go of her hand and couldn't help complaining: "You are so cruel!"

Ren said lightly: "I know Rex is my son, and it should belong to him. I will prepare it for him, and no one can take it away. It's useless for you to fight for something that doesn't belong to him. .”

"All right……"

Emily was very disappointed and did not make trouble for no reason.

In fact, she is very clear that something as important as the Floating Void City cannot be obtained with just a few words by herself. Let alone a son, countless people are willing to abandon their families, lovers and friends, and pay all the price they can, even a hundred sons, just in exchange for a floating city.

She just felt such a pity!

A Floating Void City is worth hundreds of millions of gold shields, and Rennes' Xinxiang Floating Void City is partially damaged. It is impossible to sell such a high price, and it will definitely be discounted. Otherwise, why would other holy soul wizards buy it? They have so much money, they can just build another floating city by themselves.

All the dragonborn treasures of the Drogonburg family have been excavated, and together with the treasury of the Kingdom of Congatro, they should be able to raise 60 to 70 million gold shields.

This amount of money must be enough, and if it is not enough, I can borrow it.

As long as you can get the Floating Void City, even if it costs tens of millions, it's still worth it. You must know that the floating city cannot be bought with money. The most important core of Iola is only in the hands of the Supreme Council. Auctioning a floating city is something that no one can imagine.

Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was missed because she was not a member of the Empire, and Ren didn't show affection. Emily was really distressed.

Seeing her depressed mood, Ren couldn't bear it, and comforted her: "You don't have no chance."

"How to say?" Emily rekindled hope.

"When you openly believe in the goddess of magic, most of the people in the Kingdom of Congatero will become believers of the goddess. The kingdom will then form an alliance with the empire, and the two sides will sign a treaty of friendship and intercommunication. The Supreme Council should allow Congatero to control a floating city. ’” Ren said with a smile.

Emily was immediately annoyed, "Then Congatero will become a vassal state of the empire?"

"It's just a name." Ren shrugged his shoulders, "Congatro is so far away from the empire, it's hard to govern, you and the Drogonburg family are still the rulers of the kingdom, just like the Kingdom of Hohaven and Tour Like the German trading city-state, it exercises a high degree of autonomy."

"Believe me."

Ren's expression was very serious, "As long as you are willing to attach to the empire, you can negotiate any conditions. You don't even need to pay taxes to the empire, but the empire will give Congatro a lot of benefits."

"There will be such a good thing!" Emilys couldn't believe it, "How could the Supreme Council agree to such a condition?"

"Hehehe..." Renn smiled mysteriously, and it may not be the Supreme Council who will be in charge at that time.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Emily thought about it carefully.

To get the chance to control the floating city in the name of a vassal, this alone is very worthwhile. Moreover, the Dragonborn family will also receive the support of the empire, and their rule will be more stable. Even in the worst case, if the Dragonborn family loses their royal power, they can still rely on the Floating Void City to preserve their children and get a chance to make a comeback.

But there is still a problem.

Emily shook her head lightly, the crown of jewels on her head gleamed, and said: "The Kingdom of Congatro is attached to the Empire, when the time comes, how can there be a second floating city to buy?"

"As long as Congatro gets the permission to take charge of the Floating Void City, and you gather enough money and materials, I'll help you make the Iola Core." Ren promised.

"Okay!" Emily was extremely excited, "Ren, you said that!"

"Of course, it's a deal." Ren replied seriously.

"It's a deal!"

Emily's previous disappointment was swept away, and she thought about how to speed up the progress of the Congatro people's conversion to the goddess of magic, and then initiated the signing of a treaty with the empire.

"Ren, I'm going back to the kingdom first." She couldn't wait to get up, and after signaling to Viola, she left in a hurry, and quickly teleported back to Kingsland with her son.

Only Ren and Viola were left in the room.

Sitting on the sofa next to her and listening to the conversation between the two, Viola felt a little envious in her heart.

She also wants the floating city!

Ren guessed what she was thinking and said with a smile, "You want it too?"

Viola approached, glanced at him with her agile eyes, and said softly: "Nonsense, who doesn't want a floating city? Don't forget that I am also a wizard."

Ren smiled without saying a word.

In the past, he thought that the wizard of all souls was very strong. He was known as an extraordinary profession in the late stage.

However, when I reached a higher realm, I realized that it was a bit exaggerated. After all, the wizard of all souls is more like a summoner, and the number of demon souls can hardly make up for the gap in quality.

Silver Star Duke is a typical example.

As the only Sacred Soul Sorcerer, she is very powerful in abuse, and she is not bad against opponents of the same level, but she is almost powerless to fight back against enemies of higher rank than her.

This is actually the weakness of the entire Soul Control School.

The wizards of the Soul Master School are not pure spellcasters. The three branches all rely heavily on the quality of the demon soul, and it is difficult to challenge them beyond the next level. Dean Sabra, the representative figure of the shape-shifting wizard, is at the bottom of the Supreme Council, even weaker than the Duke of Silver Star.

However, Ren didn't dare to say that the Soul Control School is all scum.

Master Wantusri Huo Huai, who is also from the Soul Control School, is ridiculously strong. This bad old man is very low-key in the Supreme Council, but his strength is no less than that of the Big Three.

Viola didn't know what Ren was thinking, and said quietly: "I'm not a queen like Emily. She rules a kingdom with more than 30 million people and rich mine resources, as well as the family legacy. I can't even come up with the five million gold shield deposit."

"How did I hear that the Good Good Church is very rich?" Ren laughed.

Most of Ms. Long Hair's believers are not short of money, and regularly donate a sum of money to the church.

Those who have money and leisure will learn art, painting, photography, dancing, playing... Which of these talents does not cost money? The pursuit of love and beauty is even more costly. Cosmetics, clothes and shoes, and various banquet salons are simply unaffordable for the poor.

Poor people can believe in the long-haired lady, but believers who don't spend money are definitely not devout enough in her belief.

"That's the church's money, I dare not embezzle it."

Viola's voice lowered a bit, "And I only found out after I took office that Madam Elisa had already spent all the church's money, part of it was embezzled by her, and part of it was used for enjoyment and squandering. She left Northril's At that time, the last cash in the account was taken away, leaving a financial hole of millions of gold shields, and I personally paid for more than half of it."

The half-elf was very helpless and couldn't help complaining to Ren.

She worked hard to manage the camera and record company, and managed to save some money over the years, but she didn't expect that she would pay it back when she became Pope.

Not to mention the floating city, even the wizard tower can only be imagined in a dream.

It was the first time Ren knew about this situation, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Viola looked silent.

She has her own dignity, and it is impossible for her to reach out to Ren in any difficulty. Maybe it is just a small effort for Ren, but she does not want Ren to look down on herself.

Ren understood it at a glance, and sighed secretly, Viola was still too strong.

But it is also her independent character that makes her love deeper. However, since I already know her difficulties, I must help her. How to help is also particular, not too deliberate, but more tactful to make it easy for her to accept.

"Viola, your birthday is coming soon." Ren immediately had an idea.

"Next month, what's going on?"

Ren smiled mysteriously: "I have prepared a gift for you. However, you have to open this gift yourself, and even I don't know what's inside."

"Okay, where is the gift?" Viola waited for Ren to take it out.

"I put it in a place that only I know." Ren stood up and reached out to the peerless half-elf, "Follow me."

Viola was aroused by his mysterious appearance, and her eyes were full of expectation.

She let Ren walk out of the study holding hands.

When going downstairs and passing the castle hall, the butler of the Wind Elf saw this scene and greeted him politely: "Your Excellency, His Majesty the Pope."

Ren paused for a while and ordered: "Fabian, you go to the Modu Daily for me and publish a news."

"Yes, my lord." Fabian listened attentively.

"At noon three days later, Glamorgan Castle will hold an auction to sell Xinxiang Floating Void City in the form of a secret auction. All imperial wizards or holy-level spellcasters are eligible to participate, and you can get it by submitting a deposit of five million gold shields. An admission ticket, which will be returned after the auction.” Ren said casually, “If I’m not in the castle, you can register the guest list and collect the deposit on your behalf, and the Ultramarines will protect your safety.”

Fabian Ruo was struck by lightning and was startled by the news.

"Do you remember?" Ryan asked.

Wind Spirit nodded with a stiff expression, his mind was blank, and he stammered back: "Remember, remember, my lord..."

Ren didn't care about him anymore, and pulled Viola onto the teleportation array.

Fabian stood there in a daze for a long time. When he came back to his senses, he immediately rushed out of the castle at the fastest speed and rushed to the headquarters of Modu Daily.

Half an hour later, the empire was a sensation!
