Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 172 Sunset Canyon Territory

Xingluo glanced at Tiffany. She seemed very excited. It was obviously her first time attending an auction. Even though the items just auctioned had disappointed her, the excitement in her eyes had not diminished much. She endured it helplessly and did not just get up and leave.

Viscount Twilight took out the robe, touched it, glanced at Xingluo and said slowly: "A commoner may not be able to afford this robe even if he works hard all his life."

Xingluo was speechless. If this continued, he would want to directly release magic fluctuations to shock the other party. It was really too noisy. However, he sensed it slightly and found that the other party was not even a low-level professional. There was really no need.

Tiffany also had the urge to punch the other person, but as soon as she had this thought, she quickly turned her head to look at the center of the auction hall and prayed silently: "Please forgive my little evil thought..."

Seeing that the two people didn't react, the Viscount thought they were both scared silly, so he sneered and turned his head to look at the second item.

Soon the auction was coming to an end. During the auction, Viscount Dusk bought several low-level magic equipment, all of which did not require magic power to activate. Of course, he couldn't help showing off to Tiffany, but Tiffany remained unmoved, so Viscount Dusk's plan of luring her to his territory was thwarted. He was a little annoyed, and the desire in his eyes burned even more.

He didn't dare to use force in Prontera. The city lord here was said to be a high-level professional who could kill him with just a glance.

"The last item for auction tonight is also the treasure of this auction house. It is a deed to an earldom, located east of Luoshen City, at the end of the canyon at the river end, covering an area of ​​30 square kilometers. Of course, in order to inherit the title of earl, one must be a great magician or an earl noble or above to bid. The starting price is 1000 high-level magic cores." The auctioneer said routinely.

No one has bid for this item since it appeared, so it was put up last. Some people who knew the situation here had left long ago. Anyway, it couldn't be sold, so what were they waiting for? Many people knew that there was a large area of ​​dangerous fog in that land. There were not many civilians in the territory, which was almost like there was no tax. Who would spend 1000 high-level magic cores to buy it? If it were somewhere else, it would have been snatched up by people. You know, the tax revenue of the earl's territory is 300 high-level magic cores a year, which means it can be earned back in about 3 years. Moreover, the earl can inherit the title, so his descendants can also own this territory.

Tiffany was slightly stunned, and Xingluo also sat up straight. This was the base of their mercenary group. Unexpectedly, it was an earl's territory. It was just that because of the fog, the earl had not been there for many years. Unexpectedly, the deed was leaked.

Xingluo was determined to take this station. Viscount Twilight was about to leave when he glanced at Tiffany and found that the two of them had become more alert and puzzled. Then Xingluo began to say something that shocked him for a long time: "1100 high-level magic cores."

Viscount Twilight opened his mouth wide, unable to close it for a long time. Was he an earl? Or a great magician? No matter which identity, he could not reach it. Thinking of how he had just jumped up and down like a clown, he felt so regretful. He had been racking his brains to please an earl's son, but he didn't expect that there was someone as good as an earl sitting next to him.

Tiffany looked at the shocked viscount next to her and laughed secretly. If this guy knew that Xingluo was the leader of an S-class mercenary group, he would probably be scared to death. You have to know that an S-class mercenary group means at least 10,000 armed forces, and they are extremely powerful. Apart from the imperial army, there are no other armed forces with so many people. The private armies of ordinary nobles do not have so many people, let alone 10,000 people with strong strength.

"Well, since no one wants it today, then the auction will end here..." The auctioneer finished speaking habitually. Suddenly he realized something was wrong and hurriedly said, "1100 high-level magic cores?"

Xingluo said again with some helplessness: "I will offer 1100 high-level magic cores."

At this time, everyone who was about to leave stopped and looked towards the direction of the private room in shock. The highest-ranking person here was a viscount, so they habitually thought that this piece of territory would fail to sell again. Unexpectedly, someone actually made a bid today. No one knew which earl was so wasteful that he actually bought the territory that no one wanted.

The auctioneer looked a little excited: "Is there anyone else bidding for 1100 high-level magic cores?"

Obviously, it was useless to ask, because no one except Xingluo made an offer. In the end, Xingluo took over the territory around the mercenary group with 1100 high-level magic cores.

Xingluo breathed a sigh of relief. He had only spent so little money to bid for the earldom. It was really a good deal. From then on, he was not only a great magician but also an earl.

Viscount Twilight finally recovered from his shock, and hurriedly looked at Xingluo with a smile on his face, saying, "I am short-sighted and didn't realize that you, my lord, were traveling so low-key. I am sorry for offending you. Please don't bear grudges against me, just treat it as a fart from me."

Xingluo ignored this guy, and the auctioneer began to review Xingluo's identity, "Please show me your Earl's certificate."

"I am not a count."

As soon as Xingluo finished speaking, the auctioneer was slightly stunned. Viscount Twilight's face instantly turned vermilion. He was actually fooled. He was so angry that he pointed at Xingluo and was about to curse. The auctioneer was also full of anger: "What did you say? Are you fooling our auction?"

Xingluo knew that the other party had misunderstood, and a faint wave of magic power spread out. Although he did not want to reveal his identity, if he continued like this, he would have to fight.

The primary magic fluctuated, and the other party frowned slightly, but his face was still full of anger. Viscount Dusk was slightly stunned and temporarily suppressed his emotions. However, although they did not have many primary magicians in their territory, they also recruited a few.

There was a fluctuation of intermediate magic, and the auction staff stood up. Viscount Dusk trembled and became a little doubtful. They had spent a lot of effort to invite an intermediate magician to their territory. Even if Xingluo was only an intermediate magician, he was not someone he could easily provoke.

He put on a flattering look again, and felt vaguely scared when he thought about how he had lost control just now and almost caused a disaster.

High-level magic fluctuations, the person in charge of the auction has arrived, looking over with a flattering smile, and just as he was about to say something, Viscount Twilight had already rushed over, hugged Xingluo's boots and kissed him, saying, "You are a generous man, don't bother with a reptile like me... I am willing to provide you with 30% of the tax plus specialties of equal value every year.

Xingluo did not stop, because to take over this territory, he needed to verify his identity. After completing the formalities, the Great Magician's wave unfolded instantly, and a whirlwind of magic swept the spot. Tiffany had to squint her eyes. The person in charge of the auction looked at Xingluo in shock, and the crystal that approved the magic power exploded. It was obvious that the magic power released by Xingluo just now had surpassed that of a high-level magician. Fortunately, Xingluo took it back in time.

Viscount Dusk was so frightened that he was speechless. He recalled the memory of being awarded honors in the Kingdom of Fallen God. At that time, there was a great battle between a great magician and a pagan. The magic power fluctuations in the sky and the terrifying and gorgeous magic attacks made him unforgettable. And today, this slightly fat man once again reminded him of the terrifying magic power of the great magician level. It was even more terrifying than then. It seemed that he was not an ordinary great magician.

He had actually dared to covet the great magician's woman just now. He had already imagined the scene of himself being killed and fell into silence. His eyes were empty and without a trace of spirit. Although the other party would not attack in the city, the great magician had countless ways to kill him.

Xingluo ignored the two and completed the handover procedures for the land deed. As for an ant like Viscount Dusk, he had no interest in it, nor did he want to take his life. However, a great magician should not be insulted. The Viscount had to pay a price for what he had done just now. "Send someone to deliver 80% of your territory's tax revenue to me every year. In addition, you are not allowed to set foot out of the Dusk Plain within a hundred years, otherwise you will die!"

Viscount Dusk was stunned. Although the price was great, he managed to save his life for the time being, and there was always hope that things would turn around in the future.

Xingluo had no interest in killing people. Since it could bring wealth, even a small amount of money would still be enough. If it were a great magician of this era, the other party would have died many times.

Xingluo was in a good mood today because he had bought the Sunset Canyon Territory at such a low price, so he ignored the viscount and walked out of the auction house with Tiffany, intending to accompany Tiffany to see other things.

The person in charge of the auction house looked at Xingluo going away and sighed slightly. This was too low-key. He walked to the door and said to the guard, "You are fired. You actually neglected such a distinguished guest. He didn't kill you. It was the greatest mercy. I hope you can treat guests equally in the future."

The guard nodded silently without saying anything. He just looked at the two people walking away, his mood unable to calm down for a long time.

Xingluo turned around and touched Tiffany's head and said, "You are really the clover of the mercenary group. You actually took pictures of such a valuable thing."

Tiffany felt the warm big hand on her head and felt itchy in her heart.

Xingluo continued, "Where should we go next? You decide."

Xingluo directly gave the choice to Tiffany.

Tiffany then went to several equipment stores with Xingluo, and they both bought some equipment, especially Tiffany, who bought a lot of things. Fortunately, he had a space ring, otherwise Xingluo would have had a headache. He didn't want to carry bags for women who were shopping in another world.

Xingluo also replenished his consumption by the way, a great magician-level Starry Robe, a great magician-level magic storage necklace, a level 13 space magic core, and some life-saving scrolls, while Tiffany bought a hat that increased the casting speed, and an amplifying bracelet that could increase the power of the light attribute.

After Tiffany bought the bracelet, she put it on and raised her hand from time to time to admire it.
