Chapter 783

Hearing this result, everyone had such an expression.

The corners of Akland's mouth raised slightly, trying to hide his emotions, but anyone could tell that he was very excited at the moment, but he didn't dare to be too complacent due to the prestige of the many holy soul wizards present.

Bidders are feeling the added pressure.

Their second bids were increased a lot, but Renn announced the winner with almost no thought. It can be seen that the bid of the Mechanics Union must be much higher than others.

The countess of Kailin looked disappointed, the nobles of Modu could no longer offer a higher price.

The same is true for Dean Sabra. He has just been promoted to Holy Soul Sorcerer, and his family background is not enough, and Blue Watts Academy can't give more support. But he just regretted missing this opportunity. If he managed the territory well, he would own the Floating Void City sooner or later, but he would just wait a few hundred years longer.

While there was one last chance to bid, they were out.

Dean Margarita was not so calm.

She was full of confidence and increased the number of female sorceresses to two hundred, thinking that Ren would definitely like them, but the result was like falling from heaven into the abyss, and lost all her previous advantages.

The Lord of Blackstaff and his wife looked serious. They had already raised the price to 80 million gold shields, but they still couldn't impress Renn.

Rosita, the Virgin of the Earth, looked relaxed. She had already given up the bid, and the memory crystal was also empty.

Neither Tim Kennan nor Congerald the Great Sage said a word.

The Storm Queen's eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and she also raised the price by 60 million gold shields, but canceled the conditions for being Ren's lover.

The Duke of Silver Star stared at Ren, most anxiously.

Ren glanced at the Duke of Silver Star with the eyes of his soul, and saw that her heart was fluctuating violently, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and secretly laughed.

The big fish is hooked!

"Speaker Ren." The legendary wizard from the Orienth Times stood up and said respectfully, "I apply for a private communication with you."

"bring it on."

Ren opened the portal, and the two entered the control room of the floating city.

The legendary wizard immediately said: "Speaker Ren, the boss of our Times, His Excellency Mr. Lawrence, asked me to tell you that if you can provide some exclusive information about the Floating Void City, the newspaper is willing to pay you 200,000 gold shields."

"Sorry, no comment." Ren flatly refused.

The other party became a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "If you feel that 200,000 gold shields are not enough, the price can be negotiated..."

Ren interrupted him directly, "Do you think I'm short of this money?"

The legendary wizard was speechless.

The two newspapers exchanged 5 million gold shields for an admission ticket, and the two bids were also 60 million gold shields. This was within the rules. Ren turned a blind eye and didn't care about them.

Two more bidders can also add to the atmosphere.

But if you want to get exclusive news from yourself, then don't think about it.

Behind the Oriente Times is the powerful circle of the imperial capital. For example, their boss, Lawrence, is a member of the Imperial Council. He was born in a noble family and has a high social status.

"Please come back."

Ren opened the portal to send the legendary wizard back, and then let people from Modu Daily come in.

Sure enough, the guy also requested an exclusive interview.

His stance was even lower, and he also used his local contacts in Modu to build relationships. He was friends with so-and-so, went to Glamorgan Castle many times to attend banquets, and claimed that Modu Daily had put in so much effort to announce the news of the auction, etc.

The central idea is that interviews are required, but money is not yet planned.

Ren didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and immediately refused.

"Lord Earl, you don't need to interview, can you answer a few questions for me?" He still didn't give up, and quickly said loudly: "The people of the empire really want to know, how did you and the army enter Xinxiang Floating City? How to prevent the floating city from jumping..."

"No comment."

Ren also sent people away with this sentence.

The next person to come in was Dean Margarita. The hot-figured destruction warlock saluted Ryan gracefully as soon as he came in. With a gorgeous and refined face, he said softly: "Speaker Ren, are there two hundred The sorceress can't meet your needs?"

This sentence is full of hints.

Ren replied sternly: "Dean Margarita's bid moved me very much. The sorceress is also good, but not as good as the Golden Shield."

The implication is that the mechanic union will give a very high price for the gold shield.

Margarita stepped forward step by step, approaching Rennes.

She is about 1.7 meters tall. She is thin where she should be thin and fat where she should be fat. Countless workouts, yet feel natural.

"Chairman Ren," Margarita lightly took Ren's arm, making him feel the amazing softness and elasticity, "I know your vision is very high, and ordinary female sorceresses don't get into your eyes, if... "She leaned close to her ear, angrily.

"What if I'm added?"

Ren turned his head to look at the face that was close at hand, and boldly looked at the famous beauty of the empire. Even with his own eyesight, he couldn't find any flaws.

The reputation of hundreds of years is by no means in vain.

Most of the influence that Eratusa Academy has today is due to Margarita, and the "pillow wind" policy is also set by her personally.

But before that, Margarita had never practiced it herself.

It's not that she's not good at seducing men. In this regard, all the sorceresses are her students. The reason why she didn't end it herself is because no man is worth her doing so.

And Ryan deserves it.

To be precise, the floating city under my feet is worth it!

Ren knew the difference very well, and he didn't have any sperm on his head. He raised Margarita's plump chin with his hand, looked directly into her eyes, and said with a smile, "You?"

"Aren't you tempted?" Margarita and Renn looked at each other for a few seconds, their eyes suddenly felt shy, and the roots of their ears turned red, and they whispered: "I have a secret, Renn, please don't tell others , no man has ever had my body."

Ren's eyes flickered, quite surprised.

A large part of Margarita's reputation is pornographic, which is talked about by men, and there are many gossip about her among the people of the empire.

Most of these rumors were released by the opponents who were excluded by the sorceresses. Although there is no evidence, but with the style of sorceresses, it is hard to believe that Dean Margarita, who has trained so many sorceresses, will be innocent. woman.

For example, it is not impossible for the procuress of a brothel to be a virgin, but who would believe it?

"You do not believe?"

Seeing that Ren didn't speak, Margarita made a gesture to take off her skirt, "Ren, you can check it yourself."

"I believe in Dean Margarita." Ren said seriously, "But it has nothing to do with the Floating Void City deal, and it's not enough to change my mind."

Margarita burst into tears, "Everything I do is not all for myself, but also for the academy, and for all the warlocks. The empire is the empire of wizards, but warlocks are also spellcasters. If I can enter the Supreme Council, warlocks will be in The status of the empire will definitely be improved, and it will gain more attention from the goddess."

"Ren, if you can help me, it's not just Alatuza Academy, the Imperial Warlock will always remember this kindness."

"Please don't underestimate the power of Warlocks."

"The influence of the warlocks of the empire will never be lost to any holy soul wizard. With the help of the warlocks, no matter what you want to do in the empire in the future, it will be much easier."

Speaking of the latter, Margarita showed strong confidence.

Ren quietly watched her perform.

That's right, it's a performance.

The eyes of the soul can see clearly, no matter how rich Margarita's expression is and how moving her words are, from the beginning to the end, her emotions are very calm. It was the same even when he was seducing himself, if the seduction failed, he replaced it with a lure.

Although most of what she said was true, including her claim that no man had ever touched her.

However, she has been in an extremely calm state, and all her words and deeds are utilitarian, with only one purpose, which is to lure herself into the bait.

With such a city and acting skills, he could win several statuettes in his previous life.

Dangerous woman!

Ren suddenly lost interest in her, pulled his arm from between the towering peaks, and said lightly: "I admire Dean Margarita's sacrifice for the Warlock, but I will not give up because of Dean's few words." If you say it, you will compromise your own interests. The dean wants the Floating Void City, and he can bid later."

This is almost debunking her performance.

Margarita didn't panic, she still had a charming and charming look, and persuaded: "Chairman Ren missed the allegiance of the warlock of the empire, and he will regret it in the future."

"Influence is not equal to power, let alone power." Ren said lightly: "Being close to power makes some people mistakenly think that they have power."

Margarita's body shook, and her expression finally couldn't collapse.

These words pointed directly at the weakness of warlocks and the root flaw of Alatuza Academy's "pillow wind" strategy. It was like a slap in the face and she froze there for a long time, unable to speak.

"Speaker Rennes taught me."

Margarita looked calm, put away the means of seducing men, and resumed the unattainable posture in front of ordinary people.

Ren nodded and opened the portal to let her out.

Immediately afterwards, the Duke of Silver Star walked in.

Another woman!

Ren can't help but feel a little headache. Women in this world, especially women with great strength, are more difficult to deal with than one another.

"Master Duke." He took the initiative to greet, after all, the other party was his lord.

"What price did the Mechanic Union offer you?" The Duke of Silver Star asked immediately, obviously dissatisfied with Ren, "I bet on the core of Iola and the 10 million gold shield, and five times from the Supreme Council Voting rights, you actually chose the Mechanics Union?"

In the second bid, she increased the price by five million gold shields, and increased the voting rights twice.

"I can't say, this is the rule of dark shooting." Ren shook his head.

"What kind of bullshit rules, you didn't decide!" The Duke of Silver Star dismissed it, "You tell me here, who can know?"

"Because it's my own rules, I have to abide by them." Ren insisted on his principles.

"you!"

The Duke of Silver Star was very angry. In her opinion, Renn just wanted to make things difficult for her and deliberately prevented herself from getting the floating city. She was really aggrieved in her heart, Ren was obviously her vassal, if he hadn't been canonized to Glamorgan and had contact with Anxi, how could he have come to where he is today?

Of course, Rennes' achievements today are more due to his own efforts.

In any case, before Renn made his fortune, I helped him a lot, and even gave him an epic Song of the Blue Sky, which was at least a bit of credit for supporting him.

The results of it?

Ren not only didn't feel the slightest gratitude, but also repeatedly opposed himself.

The last transaction with Kelstone was also disrupted by him. For Anxi's sake, he didn't care about him.

Now it's his turn to sell the floating city, even for Viola's sake, he should give himself some convenience in the auction.

A discount on the price is even more of a job.

But Ren didn't even give him a chance to meet in advance, and didn't take himself seriously, which made the Silver Star Duke choked up.

Just like now, Ren stood in front of him with a very calm expression, without any respect for Feng Jun and a holy soul wizard, as if he was just talking to an ordinary person.

The calmer Rennes was, the angrier the Silver Star Duke became.

If he had known this earlier, he should have killed this guy when he was weak in Longshande.

Now Renn is too strong, so strong that he has nothing to do with him. She inquired from Kui Lu about the capture of Xinxiang Floating Void City, and the strength that Ren showed was far better than that of the archmage or the holy soul wizard.

Kui Lu once said that if she fights Renn head-on, more than 90% of them will die.

And die horribly.

Kuilu's strength ranks second among the sisters, second only to Storm. Even she said that she is not Ren's opponent, let alone herself.

The monster!

The Duke of Silver Star cursed secretly, took a few deep breaths, and managed to suppress the anger in his heart. For the sake of Floating Void City, I can only endure it, and I am also mentally prepared to be ruthlessly slaughtered.

Her expression seemed to be on the execution ground, and she asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, what price will I have to pay for you to sell the floating city to me?"

"If you want the Floating Void City, His Excellency the Duke will bid." Ren sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and spoke in a leisurely manner.

The Duke of Silver Star stared at him, snorted, and said viciously: "I know what you want, isn't it the independence of the Glamorgan Territory? Yes. Iola's core plus 10 million gold shields, five Supreme Council votes power, plus a document dissolving the vassal relationship between the Duchy of Longsand and the Earl of Glamorgan."

Her heart was bleeding.

Although the Territory of Glamorgan is not big, it is the territory under his name second only to Longshande City. In the past, he didn't have to do anything, and he could earn 300,000 gold shields for nothing every year.

After Ren became the Earl of Glamorgan, under his management, the value of this territory has been rising year after year.

Now there are 600,000 gold shields in taxes alone every year.

In the foreseeable future, Glamorgan's taxes will definitely get higher and higher, breaking through a million gold shields will not be a problem, like a hen that keeps laying golden eggs, but now it is going to be given away...

But it doesn't work if you don't send it.

It is absolutely impossible for Ren to keep giving away money for free. Sooner or later, he will find a way to get rid of it. At that time, he will not be able to collect a penny. It is better to use it as a bargaining chip now.

"Not enough." Ren shook his head.

The Duke of Silver Star was furious, and cursed loudly: "Rein Augustus, don't go too far! I am still your lord now, and I even gave you your surname. Don't you feel grateful? heart of?"

"A transaction is a transaction, and a canonization is a canonization. These are two different things." Ren ignored the Holy Soul Wizard's anger, "I have paid taxes on time for the past four years, a total of 2.38 million gold shields, and a copper lisuo No less, I have fully fulfilled my duties as a vassal, and I have nothing to do with the duke."

Of course the Duke of Silver Star knows this number.

At that time, it was very cool to collect the money. I got so much money without doing anything, which greatly relieved Longshande's financial strain, but now I feel that the money is biting my hand.

The Duke of Silver Star hesitated for a while, and said helplessly: "Longshande can't afford any more money, so I have to borrow the 10 million to get it together."

"I can accept other things, and it doesn't have to be a gold shield." Ren shrugged, "I have so many gold shields that I have nowhere to put them. If you give them all, then there is no need to talk about them."

The Duke of Silver Star looked dull.

The most distressing thing in her life is that she has no money. In order to make money, she frantically squeezed the territory and her children. Even the legends under her can only support seven or eight. The average level of the Silver Knights is less than three. It seems that there are three Thousands of people are a lot of people. In fact, the overall strength of the legion can only be regarded as second-rate in the empire.

Because of lack of money, Ella Silan has ridiculed countless times in the past three hundred years.

Because he had no money, he was left far behind by Kelstone at the same time, and his wizard level was only raised by three levels.

Because he had no money, he was tied up in everything he did, and was almost driven crazy.

Now Ren said that he has so many golden shields that there is nowhere to put them!

The Duke of Silver Star was greatly stimulated. In fact, she knew that Rennes was very rich a long time ago, and she also heard some from Viola. Otherwise, how could Gotham City be built and maintain three powerful extraordinary legions. She just didn't understand why Ren could get so much money?

"How much money do you have?" The Duke of Silver Star was very curious and subconsciously asked.

"have no idea."

Ren spread out his hands, not wanting her to be further stimulated.

But the Duke of Silver Star understood that he couldn't even count how much money he had. He felt like eating a lemon, and the sour taste was almost overflowing from his mouth. He said sourly: "You are so rich, you still care about me The price of the empty city."

"Hehe..." Ren ignored her, what does it matter to you if I have money?

The Duke of Silver Star also knew that he was asking for trouble, he hesitated for a while, and took off a magic ring on his hand.

The light red ring, which looked ordinary at first, suddenly revealed its true colors.

The dark red ring body is wide and thick, engraved with a series of profound runes, and a huge ruby ​​is inlaid on the hexagonal ring platform. An obscure and huge magical energy flows inside the gem. Extraordinary.

"Crimson Seal Ring, a legendary magic item."

The Duke of Silver Star threw the ring to Rennes with a look of reluctance, "You should have heard of it. It is a magic item made by an elf archmage in the third era. I have worn it for almost four hundred years. Its powerful Needless to say, it can be worth at least five million gold shields, right?"

Ren nodded: "Yes."

The higher the quality of the magic item, the rarer the accessories and the higher the value.

The price of a legendary weapon with relatively common power is between 2 million and 3 million gold shields. The price of armor and armor is higher, and the price of accessories is the most valuable.

A legendary magic ring worth five million gold shields is no problem.

Not to mention, it's the Crimson Seal!

Ren has heard of this ring, which comes with the eight-ring spell "Ruby Reversal Ray", which can be used three times a day.

The Ruby Reversal Ray reverses all magical effects and restores them to their "natural" state. For example, lifting the seal, dispelling negative states, breaking force fields and shields, the effect looks similar to Tim Kenan's cracking technique, not as overbearing as the cracking technique, but it has more comprehensive functions and can play a wonderful role in many cases.

The crimson seal ring can also store five spells, four rings, five rings, six rings, seven rings and eight rings, one for each ring, which cannot be repeated, and corresponding conditions can be set to trigger automatically.

Finally, the Crimson Signet has the effect of speeding up spellcasting.

Wearing this ring, all the spells of the first to third rings can be cast instantly, the casting time of the spells of the fourth to sixth rings is reduced by half, and the casting time of the spells of the sixth to ninth rings is shortened by at least one second.

This is the top magic item, even at the legendary level, it is very rare. If it is auctioned, it will be more than enough to sell five million gold shields.

But five million gold shields cannot buy the Crimson Seal Ring.

It fits Raistlin perfectly!

Ren admired it for half a minute, and returned the ring to the Duke of Silver Star, which immediately made her puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Adding the crimson seal ring is not enough." Ren replied.

The Duke of Silver Star was about to get angry immediately.

Ren explained casually: "Your Excellency, someone has already bid higher than you."

The cost of Iola's Core is about 50 million gold shields, plus 10 million gold shields, the independent value of Glamorgan Territory is also about 10 million gold, plus the crimson seal ring, the total price is about 75 million golden shield. In the second round of bidding, three bidders placed approximate prices.

It is foreseeable that the final round of bidding will definitely exceed 80 million gold shields.

The only advantage Silverstar Duke has is that she has the Core of Iola, but that's not enough to offset the price difference.

"Are they crazy? The asking price is so high!" The Duke of Silver Star couldn't believe it, suspecting that Ren was lying to himself, "You didn't lie?"

Ren shrugged, believe it or not.

The Duke of Silver Star showed embarrassment, hesitated for a while, and finally said through gritted teeth: "I'll add another demon soul of the ancient dragon demon."

Ren's eyes lit up.

He has personally seen the ancient dragon demon of the Duke of Silver Star, with a body as large as a hill, with infinite strength, and a natural master of the power of thunder and lightning. The ancient dragon demon is a holy monster, which is very suitable for his requirements, and can be used to attack holy soul wizards.

"If the Duke can take out the demon soul of the ancient dragon demon, the Floating Void City will be yours." Ren immediately expressed his opinion.

"It's not the ancient dragon demon in my Soul Gathering Tower." The Duke of Silver Star shook his head, "It is the foundation of my strength, and it is impossible to give it to you."

The demonic souls in the Soul Gathering Tower of the All Souls Wizard can be separated and used for trading or inheritance. If there is a more powerful demonic soul, it can be replaced, but the strength will regress, and the separated demonic soul will return to the newly fused soul. In the current state, all the soul power invested in the past also dissipated.

"The Duke has another ancient dragon demon?" Ren asked.

"No."

The Duke of Silver Star quickly said: "But I know where there is an ancient dragon demon. Give me three years, and I will definitely send you a demon soul of an ancient dragon demon."

Ren was a little disappointed, three years was too long.

"Your Excellency, why don't you tell me the location directly, and I will hunt down the ancient dragon demon myself."

"I can't say." The Duke of Silver Star flatly refused, and said with a very firm attitude: "The position of the ancient dragon demon is very important to me, and it is related to my future magic path. It is no less important than the floating city. I can't tell you."

The eyes of the soul saw that she was not lying.

Ren didn't push anymore, and said after consideration: "If it's just a promise from an ancient dragon demon, I can't guarantee that the Duke will win the deal."

"This is the biggest price I can pay. If I still can't get the floating city, then I can only continue to build my own floating city. I have waited for three hundred years, and I am not afraid of waiting for decades." Silver Star Duke Instead, he was relieved that there was no blind price increase.

Ren gave her a high look, but she didn't expect her to regain her rationality.

"My lord, please."

The Duke of Silver Star returned to the castle hall from the portal. She had talked with Ren for so long, making the bidders wait a little impatiently.

After her, the castellan and his wife of Blackstaff entered the portal and returned soon after.

Ren also returned to the hall.

Neither Master Tim Kenan nor the great sage Congerald made a request for communication. Dean Sabra knew that there was no hope and gave up the consultation.

"The third round of bidding begins." Ren said, "Everyone, you have ten minutes."

The hall was silent.

This is the last bid, which determines the ownership of the Floating Void City. The bidders and the onlookers are extremely nervous. Except for Rosita, the Holy Maiden of the Earth, and Thor Akland, who have long since given up bidding, everyone else dragged their bids until the last half minute. Turn in the Engram.

Ren read the contents of the crystal one by one.

Compared with the second round of bidding, the increase in the last bid was not as much as expected, which shows that most bidders have already offered the highest price.

The two newspapers, the Mechanics Union and the Church of the Earth did not bid.

The price of the Countess of Kailin is still 40 million gold shields plus two pieces of Modu's territory, and there is an extra one, which is to let her student Jenna take charge of the floating city. This is an act of goodwill. The nobles of Modu handed over the Floating Void City to Jenna, who is not even a legendary wizard, to show their loyalty to Wezelan, but in Ryan's view, it is completely unnecessary and insignificant.

Dean Margarita increased the number of sorceresses to three hundred, and emphasized once again that she can ask for anything.

Dean Sabra and Storm Queen's bids were similar to those in the second round, and they almost gave up the bidding.

Tim Kenan and Great Sage Congerald, these two holy soul wizards really did what the Queen of Storms said, they only bid about 80 million gold shields, and they didn't communicate with themselves, which shows that their love for the Floating Void City The demand is not so strong, but the focus is on participation, and it's a pity if you don't get it.

There are only two real competitors.

One is the Duke of Silver Star.

Her bid was the core of Iola plus 10 million gold shields, the independence of the Glamorgan Territory, the crimson seal ring, and the promise of sending the ancient dragon demon within three years. On the basis of what I just talked about, materials worth 15 million gold shields were added, which were collected by her for the construction of the floating city. If she got the Xinxiang floating city, most of these materials would not be needed.

Then came the couple of the city lord of Blackstaff, their bid was simple and rude: a hundred million gold shield!

Ren was taken aback when he saw the price in the crystal.

So fucking rich!

However, he can understand the desire of the Hestaff and his wife for the Floating Void City. The Floating Void City can help them be promoted to Holy Soul Wizards, enter the Supreme Council, and become the highest ruling class of the empire. When they communicated with themselves just now, they also expressed their goals in this regard.

Those things of the Duke of Silver Star are worth a lot, and the total value is about 90 million gold shields.

Ninety million against one hundred million!

Ren made his choice easily. He stood up under everyone's gaze, glanced over every bidder, and paused on the castellan and his wife of Blackstaff, which surprised them with their hearts beating wildly.

However, before they were happy, Ren suddenly turned to the Duke of Silver Star and announced, "My lord, the Floating Void City belongs to you."

(Sorry for the lateness, I finally wrote 7500 words, and the extra 1500 words are free.)
