Chapter 781

Name:Warhammer Wizard Author:Emperor
Everyone in the hall looked at Ren.

This is his home field, no matter what kind of thoughts the bidders have, as long as they want to get the Floating Void City, they must pay attention to every word he said today.

Even the five powerful holy soul wizards showed a focused look.

Ren didn't have the slightest stage fright, and said with a smile on his face: "This auction will be in the form of a secret auction. Everyone has three chances, and there are three rounds of bidding in total. After each round of bidding, I will announce the winner of this round." winner, but the winner's bid will not be disclosed, and then the next round of bidding will take place."

"Everyone will have an opportunity to speak with me individually, either after the first round of bidding or before the last bid."

"Of course, it's up to you to use this opportunity."

"As for the rules of the auction, if you still have any doubts, you can raise them." Ren looked around. The meaning of this sentence is that I have the final say. The bidders obviously expected this situation and agreed with it. no disagreement.

Ren said again: "In addition, I must declare in advance that the bottom line I can accept is 60 million gold shields..."

Before he finished speaking, someone exclaimed, "It's so expensive!"

The one who spoke was the Duke of Silver Star. She stared at Ren and asked, "Is the shell of your floating city made of gold, or is the core of Iola made of Shenhuo?"

Other bidders also nodded, saying that the starting price was too high, which was unbearable.

The volume of Xinxiang floating city is the smallest among all the floating cities. In order to build the floating city as soon as possible, the nobles of Modu shrank many designs and reduced the space. Although this will not weaken the offensive and defensive power of the Floating Void City, its small size limits its future development and is not conducive to expanding its power and influence.

If Iola's core is removed, the shell of Xinxiang Floating Void City is worth about 30 million gold shields.

Moreover, Xinxiang Floating Void City was also damaged, so it needs to be discounted again.

Ren was unmoved.

The Duke of Silver Star is creating momentum for the bidding, hoping to gather all the bidders before the start, and put pressure on himself to lower the price.

"Look, where is the floating city now?" Ren shrugged, "This is the only floating city that can be bought here. You think it's expensive, but I think it's too expensive."

The implication is whether you like to buy or not.

Seeing that he didn't like this, the Duke of Silver Star said angrily: "As long as the floating city is good, then I will definitely buy it. Let me ask you, can you guarantee that this floating city is good?"

The corner of Ren's mouth twitched, and he gave a half-hearted smile, "My lord duke, with my reputation, would I sell you a bad floating city?"

"Just tell me if you can guarantee it!" The Duke of Silver Star insisted.

"Did the Duke deliberately find fault?" Ren's smile subsided, and he stared coldly at the Duke of Silver Star, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

The holy soul wizards were all accustomed to Ren's strength, and their expressions did not change.

The others were taken aback, and they were very apprehensive, thinking that Ren was too courageous to talk to the holy soul wizard like that.

And he is still a vassal of the Duke of Silver Star, isn't he afraid of Duke Silver Star's anger?

"Rain."

This time it was Tim Kenan who spoke. His attitude towards Ryan was obviously different from that of Dean Margarita just now, with a smile on his sturdy face.

Ren responded: "Master Kenan, please tell me."

"Before the auction, I want to check the situation of the Floating Void City. There are many rumors outside..." Duke Gray Eagle made a request.

"Okay, let's check."

Ryan agreed.

The face of the three giants of the empire still has to be given, and before the attack on the floating city, the teacher asked Master Tim Kenan to store the nine-ring cracking technique, which is considered to be a favor to him.

In fact, he had already prepared for it. The transaction of tens of millions of gold shields was not a child's play. The bidders must confirm the status of the goods. The reason why he hates the Duke of Silver Star so much is to suppress her arrogance and make her feel a sense of crisis that she is not going to sell the floating city to her, so as to squeeze more oil from her.

Sure enough, the Duke of Silver Star saw that Ren immediately agreed to Tim Kenan's request, his face was covered with haze, which was very ugly.

"Everyone come with me."

After the voice fell, a tall portal opened in the middle of the hall.

Ren walked in first, and the others followed suit.

The other end of the portal leads directly to the control room of Xinxiang Floating Void City. The damaged gate has been repaired and closed, so the outside scene cannot be seen. The rune circle in the control room is also intact. Here, Ren can use the energy of Iola's core to cast spells and master the overall situation.

The core of Iola rotated slowly in mid-air, like a small sun.

Except for Tim Kenan, Congerald, and the Storm Queen, the three holy soul wizards who already owned the floating city, everyone else entered the control room of the floating city for the first time. After entering, they immediately opened their eyes and looked around. Surprise written all over it.

The control room is the most important place in a floating city.

The owner of the Floating Void City will never let outsiders in easily. This is a rare opportunity to visit in a lifetime.

Everyone stared at Iola's core, the gentle but not glaring light made them feel the huge energy, and they couldn't help being fascinated, showing longing.

"Master Kenan, the great sage."

Ren stood under the Iola Core, and a cordon was placed on the ground to indicate that it could not be crossed. He said: "The two masters can check whether the Iola Core is intact. Also, the rune circle in the control room It can also be used normally."

"Your Excellencies, taking photos is prohibited here."

Although the bidders sent by the two newspapers were legendary wizards, they were actually here to make up the numbers. They exchanged a five million gold shield deposit for an admission qualification. The real purpose was to interview on the spot.

As soon as they entered the control room, they pulled out their cameras, just like journalists.

Ren immediately issued an order to stop it.

The expressions of the two legendary wizards were a little embarrassed, and they felt regretful, but they had no choice but to put away their cameras and apologize to Ryan together.

Bidders move about in the spacious control room.

In fact, there is nothing to see. There is nothing in the control room except the core of Iola. There are layers of rune circles carved on the floor, walls and ceiling, but they are all protected for secrecy. Just looking at the surface, I can’t understand it for a while. To what magic knowledge.

A few minutes later.

Tim Kenan and Congerald looked at each other, nodded slightly, and said, "No problem. The core of Iola and the rune circle in the control room are functioning normally."

Bidders are relieved.

Two highly respected holy soul wizards checked it, and it was certain that there would be no mistakes.

There were also three holy soul wizards, a destruction warlock, and an earth saint, each of whom had amazing eyesight and insight. If there was a problem, it was almost impossible to hide it from their eyes.

As long as the control room is good, there is no fear that the floating city will not be able to fly.

"What about outside?"

The Duke of Silver Star stood in front of the gate of the control room and asked aloud: "The control room is fine, but other places in the floating city are also very important. I need to know the overall damage and estimate the cost and time of repairing it before I can repair it." Better judge the value of the floating city."

"Silver Star is right." The Storm Queen immediately expressed her support.

The Lord of Blackstaff and his wife also nodded in agreement, and Dean Margarita, Countess Kaelin, and the Holy Maiden of the Earth also agreed.

Ryan scanned the bidders.

Obviously, the Duke of Silver Star learned to be smart this time, and he didn't want to be targeted by himself alone, so he pulled his two sisters along. The Queen of Storms has a difficult relationship with her, but their interests are the same in terms of lowering the price. The Lord of Black Taf is their brother-in-law, so naturally they will not object.

Someone takes the lead, and someone immediately follows suit.

"You can see it from the control room, but not from the outside." Renn flatly rejected the request, and said lightly, "This is for the consideration of the buyer who finally won the Floating Void City."

The bidders figured it out right away.

The control rooms of the Floating Void City are similar, and no information will be leaked.

But the outside is different. Many secrets can be deduced from the layout of the floating city. No matter who becomes the next owner of the floating city, they don't want to be known about the internal situation. Even though many people have entered Xinxiang Floating Void City, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

"As long as you win the auction, you can look at it however you want in the future, but now I have the obligation to keep the future owner of the Floating Void City secret."

Wren's reasons are unassailable.

If the bidders were allowed to see the damage of the floating city, even if it was not serious, they would take the opportunity to lower the price and simply not let them see it. Anyway, the degree of damage to Xinxiang Floating Void City is not high. It is estimated that it can be repaired by spending three to four million gold shields and materials, and it is not considered a scam.

He looked at the Duke of Silver Star, "I can guarantee that Xinxiang Floating City will be able to repair and take off soon, and there will be no risk of crashing."

"If you don't believe me, you can quit now, and I will return the deposit immediately."

The Duke of Silver Star had nothing to say.

In fact, she still has a lot of excuses to pick faults, but this auction is definitely a seller's market, Ren's advantage is too great, and she is not afraid that the floating city will not be sold.

The bidders were silent for a few seconds, and no one raised any objections.

Ren made a gesture of invitation.

Everyone passed through the portal and returned to the castle hall. Ren came back last, closed the portal and said, "Everyone has ten minutes to think about it, and then give me the first bid."

With a wave of his hand, twelve memory crystals flew up from the tray in Fabian's hand, and fell into the hands of each bidder precisely. This kind of magic crystal can remember the content of thinking, and it can be used in the hand without speaking. Even the holy soul wizard cannot steal it, so it is very safe.

There are also twenty-four engrams on the tray for the next two rounds of bidding.

The bidders sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

Most people were thinking alone, only the castellan and his wife of Blackstaff opened a small sound-proof force field, their figures were also covered by a layer of shadow, and they communicated silently with psychic spells.

Needle drop could be heard in the hall.

Everyone in Viola who visited the auction did not dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing these big shots.

Ren sat in the middle with a very relaxed posture.

It took less than two minutes for someone to complete the bidding. The legendary wizards sent by the two newspapers entered the content and handed in the engrams one after the other.

Ren caught the crystal and read it, without any fluctuation on his face.

These two are the atmosphere group who came to accompany the run.

Sure enough, their bids were exactly the same, 60 million gold shields, and nothing else. Sixty million gold shields was the starting price set by himself, and it was impossible to win the floating city. However, there is no rule that each bid must be higher than the previous round, so they cannot be kicked out for the reason of elimination.

The third memory crystal flew over, and the bidder was Akalande.

He represented the Steam and Machinery Union, and he was a very close friend with Ryan, but he didn't say a word after arriving today.

"Seventy million gold shields."

"Ren, I want to speak with you privately after this round of bidding."

There are only these two sentences in the engram.

The first round of bidding was just a trial, and generally no high price or additional conditions would be given. The Mechanics Union raised 10 million gold shields, which is indeed rich and powerful. Ren glanced at Akalande and nodded to him.

Aklande beamed with joy.

When the bidders saw the signal between the two, some of them couldn't help it. Within half a minute, five memory crystals flew over in a row and offered Rennes a price.

The Countess of Kaelin made the fourth bid.

What she gave was 40 million gold shields plus a fiefdom around Modu. The area is about the same as Glamorgan. It is located in the western suburbs of Modu. Most of it is fertile land with a permanent population of more than 100,000. It is extremely valuable. More than 20 million gold shields.

This fief was cobbled together by the five noble families of Modu.

Countess Kailin represents the overall interests of the five noble families. In order to get back Xinxiang Floating Void City, she was even willing to cede the fief which was the foundation of the nobility. This shows how much they value it.

Then there was Margarita of the Elatusa School of Warlocks, the beautiful sorceress, who offered her personal allegiance to Wren for fifty million gold shields and the lifetime services of a hundred sorceresses.

In addition, she promised that if she entered the Supreme Council, she would be willing to join the Modus faction.

The engrams also contained the information of a hundred female sorceresses, including their names, ranks, backgrounds, abilities they were good at, and their photos at the end.

It has to be said that the female sorceresses are all beautiful. They are all outstanding beauties with different temperaments. Not so good.

This is blatant seduction. I want to build a huge harem for myself, and piling piles every day. Even if my body is made of iron, I can't stand a hundred beauties...

Ren couldn't laugh or cry, but he was also vaguely moved.

Well, this bid is very competitive!

Dean Sabra's bid was dull by comparison.

He gave 30 million gold shields plus a batch of magic items worth 10 million, and within 300 years, he unconditionally agreed to any proposal of Rennes in the Supreme Council.

Sabra especially emphasized that it is not supporting Anse Wodoss, but Ren himself, which is very intriguing.

There is a difference.

Of course, if Wren asked to support Anse Woldas, Dean Sabra would do the same.

If Ren's goal is to control the Supreme Council, Dean Sabra's hard-core ticket is extremely valuable, but he is planning to overthrow the Supreme Council!

Let alone three hundred years.

Perhaps thirty years from now, the Supreme Council will cease to exist.

Ryan has already rejected Dean Sabra's bid in his heart. After all, Sabra has just been canonized as the Duke of Blue Oak, and the territory has not been overheated. The 30 million gold shield and 10 million magic items should be Brower There is an upper limit to the amount of funds that Cici Academy can provide.

He even looked down on the offer from the Church of the Earth.

The saint of Rosita gave 20 million gold shields and the opportunity to conclude a thousand-year covenant with the ring of the earth. There is no doubt about the strength of the ring of the earth. Those earth nuns who are not afraid of death are extremely powerful in combat. The prestige of this legion resounds throughout the world, and it is one of the most powerful extraordinary legions in the main material world.

If it gets the full support of the Ring of the Earth and lasts for a thousand years, the value of this covenant is almost comparable to that of half a floating city.

The Earth Church is very sincere.

It's a pity that Renn really has no interest. A thousand years is too long to seize the day. Moreover, the Ultimate Battlegroup and the Thundercast Legion will not be much worse than the Ring of the Earth, and may be stronger in the future.

The Church of the Earth is not rich, and 20 million gold shields is the limit they can give. However, the Lord of Hestaff is the complete opposite. He controls the Shengang City and the trading city-state of Tourde, and his personal strength and extraordinary legion are far inferior to the Earth. Church, but there is money!

The Lord and his wife of Blackstaff offered 75 million gold shields, which was higher than the Mechanics Union.

In the next two rounds, they will definitely give a higher price.

If you only compete for the Golden Shield, there are only two protagonists in this auction, the Lord Blackstaff and the Mechanics Union, and the Queen of Storms is not as good.

The Storm Queen's bid was 50 million gold shields, as well as herself.

She offers to be Ryan's lover.

In other words, the Storm Queen is willing to pay.

Ren wanted to complain, is your body made of gold or divine fire? I don't know how many people have tasted it, and it is worth 10 million gold shields after playing it well? However, it is estimated that the Queen of the Storm's bid is also a trial, just for fun. With her unpredictable and charming character, it is really possible to do it.

Then there is Tim Kenan's engram, he gave 40 million gold shields and a batch of magic items worth 25 million, and the demon soul of an ancient black dragon.

The ancient black dragon is a holy rank.

Tim Kenan saw that Renn was already at the pinnacle of legend, and he was probably ready to attack the holy soul, so he took out the demon soul of the ancient black dragon, which can be said to be very intentional.

The value of the demon soul of the ancient black dragon is much higher than that of ordinary holy monsters.

However, Renn looked at the elemental information of the black dragon and found that it was not suitable for him, and Duke Gray Eagle's plan was about to fail.

The bid of Great Sage Congerald is similar, 40 million gold shields, 20 million alchemy materials, including a large number of rare items, many of which can only be collected from other planes, even if you have money and have no place to buy them.

There are two ioun stones at the end.

The value of the Ion Stone is no less than a legendary item, but it can be mass-produced, and its real price is definitely not as good as a unique legendary item. And the more ioun stones there are, the stronger the power will be. If there are only two, it's still not enough.

The bids of these two holy soul wizards are slightly conservative.

The Duke of Silver Star was the most entangled, and the last bid, Ren read her memory crystal, saw the core of Iola at the first sight, and immediately lifted his spirits.

She is still quite upright, guessing her own needs, or it may be the tone that Viola revealed to her.

Ryan didn't mind that.

With the economic strength of the Duke of Silver Star, if she doesn't take out the core of Iola, she will have nothing else to impress her. She gave Iola's core, five million gold shields, and three unconditional votes in the Supreme Council.

Ren smiled contemptuously in his heart, who is he looking down on?

He read all the memory crystals, put them into the nebula ring, pretended to think for a while, and then spoke under the nervous gaze of the bidders, and said: "I have read the first round of bidding, and I announce that the winner is Dean Margarita."

"ah……"

"How can this be?"

Everyone was stunned, this was a result that no one expected, even Margarita herself was stunned. When she found that everyone's eyes were on her, she realized that a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.
