Chapter 784

The castle hall was silent for a few seconds.

Blackstaff and Laila's smiles froze on their faces, and they changed from surprise to astonishment in an instant. 100 million gold shields, this price already surpassed the cost of Xinxiang Floating City, and it was enough to build a brand new floating city, yet they still lost!

The other bidders were also disappointed.

Dean Margarita was devastated. She didn't expect much, but winning the first round of bidding brought her too much hope.

Tim Kenan and Congerald were only a little bit regretful, but Dean Sabra and the Storm Queen already knew they couldn't win, so they were soon relieved.

The rest of the bidders were the atmosphere group who accompanied the runners, and they didn't expect to win at first.

On the contrary, it was the final winner of the auction. The Duke of Silver Star sat there like a sculpture with a dull expression, as if he couldn't believe that he really won the floating city.

"Sister, congratulations."

It wasn't until the Queen of Storms congratulated him that the Duke of Silver Star suddenly stood up, realizing that he had lost his composure and made everyone laugh.

She barely calmed down the excitement in her heart, showed a calm smile, raised her chin, and said proudly: "Ella Silan, we have returned to the same starting line."

"Hmph..." The Storm Queen smiled contemptuously.

She didn't want to stay here for a long time, and with a bang, her figure turned into a ball of flames and flew out, disappearing into the sky.

The others also congratulated.

"Silver Star, I didn't expect you to win in the end." Tim Kenan nodded, "This is a good result for the Supreme Council." What he meant was that the Duke of Silver Star is already a member of the Supreme Council. Having her in charge of the Floating Void City will not affect the structure of the parliamentary factions.

Great Sage Congerald agrees.

"Thank you, Duke Gray Eagle and the Great Sage." The Duke of Silver Star didn't dare to neglect, and responded quickly.

The two holy soul wizards spoke to Ren respectively, and then teleported away.

Akalande looked a little unconvinced, and performed all the tricks, and reluctantly said: "Congratulations to the Duke of Silver Star."

"Congratulations……"

"My lord is worthy of a floating city."

Dean Sabra, Saintess of the Earth Rosita and Countess Kailin also left after congratulating them.

Dean Margarita congratulated the Duke of Silver Star in a very gracious manner, then walked in front of Ren, and said softly: "Speaker Ren, when you and the Duke complete the deal, I will also have a deal with you Let’s talk, I’ll come to visit again then.”

Ren raised his eyebrows, is she still determined?

"good."

He agreed to come down and watched Margarita leave the castle.

The legendary wizards sent by the two newspapers ran away as soon as the results came out. They ran faster than anyone else, competing with each other to publish the news before the other. From this perspective, both of them are qualified reporters.

In the blink of an eye, there were only two bidders left in the castle hall, the Duke of Silver Star and the Lord and Mrs. Hasstaff.

Until now, both Blackstaff and Lyra had difficulty accepting that they had lost.

Blackstaff, with a serious face, frowned and said nothing.

"elder sister."

Regardless of the presence of other people, Lila with long silver hair directly called out her relationship with the Duke of Silver Star, and asked eagerly, "What price did you offer, which is even higher than ours?"

The Duke of Silver Star was still in great joy.

Floating City!

I have a floating city!

She belatedly realized that she had won something, and her long-cherished wish had been fulfilled today after more than three hundred years of hard pursuit, and she was in a trance for a while.

Hearing Lila's question, the Silver Star Duke came back to his senses, remembering his bid, and suddenly felt heartbroken again. For the third bid, she put all her eggs in one basket and bet all her last fortune, directly increasing the price by 15 million gold shields. She did not expect it to succeed.

She glanced at Ren and gritted her teeth in her heart.

This guy has drained all his wealth!

But as the winner of the auction, she had to maintain her winning demeanor, and asked reservedly, "Laila, what price did you offer?"

Laila hesitated.

According to the rules of the auction, everyone's bids are only known to Rennes and must be kept secret.

"One hundred million gold shields."

Blackstaff said it directly.

"ah!"

"One hundred million..."

There was a sound of exclamation and gasping in the hall, coming from Viola, Oxilia, Fabian and several students of Ryan in the corner. As if they were struck by lightning, they were stunned, and their expressions were even more colorful. Shock, horror, envy, etc., were strongly impacted.

They watched all three rounds of bidding, but it was the first time they heard specific prices.

One hundred million gold shields!

This is a huge wealth that can't even be imagined in a dream. Everyone knows that the Floating Void City is very valuable and must have been sold for a sky-high price, but they did not expect it to reach 100 million gold.

The golden three-headed dragon Borch was even more rigid, but his eyes were shining.

The lord of Blackstaff lost the bid of 100 million gold shields, which means that the Duke of Silver Star must have paid a higher price! Giant dragons have a natural fascination with treasures, but he has never heard of any dragon with treasures exceeding 100 million gold.

Borch's eyes on Rennes changed completely. In his eyes, Rennes was no longer a human being, but the greatest treasure in history!

"100 million gold shields! 100 million gold shields! 100 million gold shields..."

The golden three-headed dragon murmured absently.

The Duke of Silver Star was also taken aback. The price was obviously higher than his own, and it was about 10 million gold shields higher.

However, Ren still chose to sell the floating city to himself.

She immediately understood that the reason Renn chose himself with a lower bid was because of Iola's core!

From the very beginning, he has taken a fancy to his own Iola core, even if he doesn't need to add the building materials of the fifteen million gold shield, and even, he doesn't need to give the ancient dragon devil's promise and the crimson seal ring, as long as he bids Up to about 70 million gold shields, the result is the same!

Rennes will make great concessions for the Iola Core.

From the beginning to the end, from the moment the news of the auction of the Floating Void City was released, attracting many competitors, as well as the form of secret auctions, including the entire auction, were all traps set by Rennes.

And I am the only prey!

The Duke of Silver Star suddenly realized, and then he was very annoyed, why he didn't think about this before, and paid an extra 20 million gold shields for nothing.

After living for more than 400 years, he was played around by a twenty-five-year-old young man.

A sense of shame and humiliation came to Duke Silver Star's heart, she was in a daze for a few seconds, and this shame quickly turned into monstrous anger.

"Rain Augustus!"

The Duke of Silver Star yelled loudly, a huge soul power was released from his body, shaking the castle hall, the ceiling and the ground trembled.

An ancient dragon demon as tall as a mountain loomed, overwhelming everyone.

The people in the hall didn't understand why the Duke of Silver Star suddenly exploded. They were all terrified, struggling to resist the suppression of the holy soul wizard's terrifying aura.

Blackstaff and Lyra flashed instantly, and distanced themselves.

Only Ren was left standing in front of the Duke of Silver Star. The storm of aura hit his body like a turbulent wave, but it had no effect like a gentle wind and drizzle. He looked relaxed and did not move a step.

"Why is the Duke so angry?"

Ren asked calmly.

Before the words fell, he suddenly disappeared.

Sensing a strong sense of crisis, the Duke of Silver Star subconsciously wanted to distance himself, but before he made any movement, even before the shield had time to open, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

It was Ryan.

He mentally jumped to the side of the Silver Star Duke, and lightly placed his right hand on her shoulder, triggering the protective spell on the Silver Star Duke. With a sound, a ray of silver flame burst out and ignited the palm of his hand. At the same time, three counterattack spells with at least six rings were triggered, all of which hit Rennes.

But all the spells are like mud cows entering the sea, and they disappear when they hit Rennes, without any effect.

The silver flame was burning fiercely on Ren's palm, exuding terrible heat, but his expression did not fluctuate at all, as if there was no pain in his hand.

Press lightly with the palm of your hand.

The Duke of Silver Star suddenly felt like a mountain was pressing on his shoulders, making him unable to move.

At the same time, an invisible force field was released from Ren, covering the entire castle hall. The spellcasters within the range found that most of their magic items had failed, the constant protective spells on their bodies were instantly extinguished, and all spells below the eighth ring could not be cast.

Anti-magic field!

"Huh?"

Ren was a little surprised that the silver fire on his palm was not affected by the anti-magic force field and continued to burn.

What kind of flame is this?

But now is not the time for research, the energy-gathering furnace absorbed the flame energy, and he did not suffer any damage.

"Why is the Duke so angry?" Ren asked again.

The Duke of Silver Star stared blankly at Ren, who was close at hand, and finally understood what Kui Lu said. Ren's strength had already surpassed that of ordinary holy soul wizards, and he could not be treated with common sense. Moreover, Ren is a battle wizard, and like Oroin, he has extremely terrifying melee strength. Once the caster is close, the degree of danger is a hundred times higher than that of spells.

Ren asked the question calmly, but the Duke of Silver Star smelled an extremely dangerous atmosphere.

Her momentum immediately weakened.

The huge wave of soul power disappeared without a trace, the phantom of the ancient dragon demon subsided, the castle hall returned to normal, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did people discover that the sixty Ultramarines standing around the hall had raised their bolt guns at some point and aimed at the Silver Star Duke.

Ren withdrew his right hand from Silver Star Duke's shoulder, removed the anti-magic force field, and the Ultramarines also put down their bolt guns.

"You lied to me!"

The Duke of Silver Star angrily accused Ren, but his confidence was a little lacking.

"We are a fair auction, how did you lie to you?" Ren's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "You can go back if you want, as long as you say 'I don't want it anymore', I will immediately announce that I will sell the Floating Void City to Hess Lord Taft."

Blackstaff's eyes lit up standing in the distance.

Laila also looked at the Duke of Silver Star expectantly, rekindled hope, but said: "Sister, don't be fooled by him, Xinxiang Floating City is not worth 100 million gold shields at all."

The Duke of Silver Star saw through her trick at a glance and woke up suddenly.

They just wait for themselves to repent and change their minds. Ren is definitely not joking, as long as he opens his mouth, the floating city that he finally got is gone.

"Laila, you think well."

The Duke of Silver Star sneered, "The Floating Void City is mine!"

Then he looked at Ren, "Give me three days to raise the gold shield and materials, and after three days, I will complete the deal with you."

After she finished speaking, she flew out of the castle in the form of a ball of silver fire, and disappeared into the sky in a blink of an eye.

It looks like he is in a hurry, but he is actually running away.

"pity."

Blackstaff looked at the direction where the Duke of Silver Star left and shook his head, his eyes were full of regret, and Laila was also very annoyed, she shouldn't have said those words, but instead made her sister sober.

"Chairman Ren, we are also leaving." Seeing that there was no hope, Hestaff immediately opened the portal and took his wife away.

Ren watched the portal close.

Blackstaff is extremely courageous and financially astonishing. Before that, no one knew that he could produce 100 million gold shields, and he was richer than the Holy Soul Wizard. However, money alone is not enough. Neither Blackstaff is a holy soul wizard, nor can he obtain the manufacturing method of Iola's core from the Supreme Council, so he must bid for the floating city at all costs.

So far, only two floating cities were built without the approval of the Supreme Council.

They are Wedzeland and Xinxiang respectively.

Wezeland is in a special situation. It was built around the first thousand years of the new calendar.

At that time, the Supreme Council had not yet been established, and it was not stipulated that only holy soul wizards could obtain the method of making Iola's core. The nobles of Mordu did not know which holy soul wizard got the method from, and the construction of Wezeland floating city was not affected. Too much resistance.

The floating city of Xinxiang was also built by the nobles of Modu, and behind it was the fallen lich of Master Ogulevi who was promoting the plan. It is naturally not difficult to create the core of Iola.

Four years ago, after the Scourge invaded Wezeland, in order to prevent it from happening again, the Supreme Council unanimously passed a resolution to strictly control the manufacturing method of Iola's core. The holy soul wizard will never be allowed to teach it in private. study.

The Imperial Parliament also established a law specifically for this purpose, called "Iola's Nuclear Non-Proliferation Law", which is used to restrain such incidents.

Since then, there is only one formal channel left to manufacture the Iola Core.

That is to be authorized by the Supreme Council.

No one is allowed to act first and act later. Once it is discovered that someone has illegally manufactured the Iola Core, no matter who it is, the Supreme Council has the right to destroy it and eliminate the lawbreaker.

The Lord and his wife of Blackstaff have money, but they can't make the core of Iola before they are promoted to the holy soul wizard.

It won't work even if they get the manufacturing method privately, unless they want to break away from the empire.

So this auction is the only chance for them to obtain the Floating Void City in advance. They have sold out all their wealth and even bid a sky-high price of 100 million gold shields.

Unfortunately, it still failed!

Through this auction, though, Wren has discovered a lot of potential in the couple.

They are all chosen by the Goddess of Magic. They are legendary wizards who are at the pinnacle of legend and whose strength far exceeds that of ordinary wizards. Sooner or later, they will be promoted to Holy Soul Wizards, and they will divide the entire Turd trade city-state into a territory and become the true rulers of the southern part of the empire. Southern blank.

I will have to deal with this couple in the future, so I can make some preparations in advance.

Ren put away his thoughts, with a smile on his face.

The auction was finally over. Although there were some accidents in the end, it still achieved the result I wanted.

Viola, Oxilia, Fabian, Borch and the students surrounded her.

"Rain."

"teacher."

"My lord..."

Everyone called out different names. After watching the auction, they were excited and had a lot to say to Ren.

Outside the castle, many people have already received the news: "The Duke of Silver Star won the auction for the floating city."
