An Yanfei sat at a loss in Hill's study, unable to react for a long time, but Hill couldn't bear to see it, so he gave his bloody hand a recovery spell. Is this kid a little reckless?
The wizard from the An family still looked unbelievable: in just a few days, his hometown might be gone.
His eyes turned red as he recalled the plants and trees of his childhood.
Hill listened to his muttering over and over again, and thought of the people who left without looking back, and couldn't help but ask him: "Haven't all the betrayed aristocratic families in Renhe City left? Why do you still talk like the whole city
Is the city going to be gone?"
"The Shoulong Empire will never allow a city where treason has occurred to exist in this world." An Yanfei replied without raising his head, "The Black Cavalry will first clean up the city and remove all those whose identities are unknown or who are related to the traitor."
Kill everyone who has anything to do with it.
Then the great witch appeared and completely shattered the entire city, even tearing hundreds of meters underground.
You said that the blood pool is a thousand meters underground, right?
According to the tradition of Shoulong, the area at least 1,500 meters deep will be completely dug up, exposed to the sun for seven days, purified again, and then buried back with soil mixed with talismans.
Even so, no matter how important this city is, it will not be rebuilt on the same site within a hundred years."
Hill's eyes widened as he recalled the reused cities in Faerûn. These lords liked the places with ruins the most. After all, there were many facilities that could be used.
Is there such a big gap between the government's rich and those who don't?
"The previous dynasty of the Shoulong Empire..." An Yanfei whispered, "In fact, it was because of the great conflict with the aristocratic family that it was eventually destroyed in those underground spaces that were exploited.
The Tulong Kingdom was able to go out on its own, but it was only because they failed to clean up the families who had fled underground in time that they successfully attacked them.
After the first emperor of the Li Dynasty ascended the throne, he issued this order. Although the name was to leave no opportunity for evil people to take advantage of it, everyone knows why."
So it’s no wonder that the current emperor is so wary of your family, isn’t it?
Every time this money is spent, doesn't Emperor Shoulong's bleeding heart hate the aristocratic family even more?
Hill shook his head speechlessly.
He glanced at An Yanfei lightly. This wizard only cared about his family being gone, and paid no attention to An Pengfei who had been betrayed. The relationship between the children of these aristocratic families was really complicated. They were obviously direct contemporaries.
.
Maybe An Yanfei is the kind of wizard who entered the direct line ranking because of his high level, right?
What he misses and sighs are not many things related to his relatives. He only occasionally talks about the small courtyard where he grew up. It sounds like he awakened the power of witchcraft very early and was brought up by the An family from an early age.
gone.
It's quite normal that he would choose to work on Yingbin Island. His sense of belonging to Anjia is completely different from Anran's, and he is more rational.
Hill leaned on the sofa and smiled. The name Renhe City may be destined to disappear from history.
He originally planned to leave directly, but An Yanfei felt that it was thanks to Hill that he saved the lives of the entire family this time, and An Jia, who had clearly promised to entertain Hill, actually brought trouble to Hill, so he felt embarrassed.
He very solemnly sent Hill an invitation letter to the auction.
There was a hint of regret in An Yanfei's expression: "Master Bolaño, this auction is very valuable to see. There may be treasures from all over the world in Toril, and even in the star realm.
You also know that not every foreign businessman is qualified to enter the territory of Shoulong to trade, but they still come just for this seven-day auction."
Hill looked at the invitation inlaid with gold and jade. It seemed to be a book-like object!
He reached out and took it, and after opening it, there were lifelike introductions to various products. The three-dimensional pictures looked very real, and you could even direct its rotation by placing your hand on it.
An Yanfei said with a hint of pride: "This kind of invitation can only be obtained by the empire's official auction.
Such an exquisite painting can only be painted by a great painter who has been approved by the God Chen Xiang.
The great emperor ordered the artists of the empire to send one artist in turn to sit on Yingbin Island for a month every year, but only those products that were precious enough or highly artistic could be painted in their favor.
Every treasure recognized by them is the protagonist of the auction!
And every invitation is a rare treasure that guests can take home!"
Then An Yanfei became discouraged: "This invitation was originally reserved for the family.
I originally thought that after the Anjia trade with you, we might not be able to obtain treasures that would interest this year's painters, so I spent my merits to exchange for one.
But they definitely won’t be able to come this year, so how can they have any money to buy things!
I don’t even know where to move! It will definitely take a lot of energy.
Fortunately, I have done business with you, otherwise, how will Anjia live next year?"
Hill silently turned over the invitation letter, admiring the charm of the painter Shou Long. He never listened to the rich people's complaints about poverty.
In this regard, he has enough experience.
Before leaving, An Yanfei took back Hill's entry sign and returned the documents: "Although Archmage Bolaño will not be in any danger, at the end of the annual auction, the sea outside Shoulong is full of storms and corpses.
Across the wilderness.
After all, the prerequisite for the success of this auction is that there are a large number of ship owners who cannot enter the territory of Shoulong.
It saves the time of replacing paperwork and you can leave this place of trouble first."
He looked at some goblins lying outside the book window watching the fun, and then added: "Even if you are watching the fun, you can choose a safe place to watch.
Those people are evil people who will not be able to pay off their sins even after death, and you cannot mess with them."
Hill smiled and put away the paperwork, and thanked An Yanfei softly for his thoughtfulness.
This wizard from the An family may be still young, but like An Pengfei, he still has passion and justice in his heart, and when he does things, he still has a clear sense of grudges and grudges.
If it were An Ran, he would also send the invitation letter to Hill, but his words would be filled with the good intentions of the An family.
Hill could understand An Ran's style, but An Yanfei seemed to like him more!
Hill suddenly laughed. At this time yesterday, he seemed to think An Ran was a nice person.
The complexity of people always leaves a simple person like him at a loss as to what to do, otherwise he would not have been so addicted to the world of games in the past.
He signaled Liszt to send An Yanfei out, and remember to give him a small gift. Remember to put a small piece of fine gold the size of a broad bean in it.
An Yanfei wanted to give the invitation letter to the family not for any lofty reasons such as the family's future, but to exchange resources with the family. Hill still remembered his expression when he stroked Purvi's teeth.
In Toril, if you want to buy adamantine, except for Hill, you can only buy it from a group of alpine dwarves who live in volcanic furnaces.
Only the large dwarf chambers of commerce can get a little by chance every year when they go to their volcanoes to sell living supplies. Even this little bit is enough for all the dwarf chambers of commerce to risk being attacked by giants every year to deliver goods to them.
But thanks to their attitude, the price of adamantine in Toril is almost top-notch. It is the only material that can be exchanged for minor artifacts. Hill actually feels that he can exchange for anything he wants.
After Liszt sent An Yanfei away, he followed Hill and told him all the people who had recently sent gifts and tried to invite him. Although Liszt refused all the gifts, there were some people with more complicated identities and backgrounds.
, Taling could not tell whether Hill would be willing to meet.
Especially some half-elves and dwarves with relatively high professional levels.
Hill smiled and walked towards the bathtub, thanking fate for the favor and his hard work, which allowed him to stop dealing with that person as long as he didn't like that person.
Only those who have been in society know what a beautiful dream this kind of willfulness is.
So he still doesn’t see anyone. If you have anything to do, please go to Aglaia City to find Linn. If you can come and accept the dragon, wouldn’t it be easy to go to Aglaia?
He sat in the bathtub, looked at some of the requirements on the invitation, and understood why An Yanfei didn't ask him to bring something to sell. Only ship owners who had been reported to Long Yingbin Island for ten consecutive years were qualified to deliver the goods.
to the auction.
Others can only use money to buy tickets, and the worst seat costs 5,000 gold. Only VIP rooms like Hill have invitations, not to mention the price.
An Yanfei had a good idea. If the An family wanted to exchange fine gold with Hill, they would have to produce masterpieces by those artists. Then they would basically not be eligible to enter and could only rely on buying invitations.
As an aristocratic family, it is impossible for them to sit on a chair worth 5,000 gold in the corner. They want to lose face.
The price of the invitation letter is almost like another auction.
But as a high-ranking official of Yingbin Island, he has the ability to get it. When the time comes, it will be much cheaper to exchange some resources with the family with this invitation letter than to exchange merit with the empire.
Hill looked at the time written above and found that the auction would be in the morning the day after tomorrow and would last for three days, which was not bad.
When he heard Liszt informing An Yan to fly to pick him up for the auction, Hill couldn't help but look at the time. Sure enough, it was still early morning!
Isn't the auction officially opening at ten o'clock in the morning?
Hill, who had changed into a black robe, was a little confused, but still went out to meet the witch.
An Yanfei smiled and said hello: "Master Bolaño, good morning! I'm here to take you to the small market before the auction."
As he led the way, he said: "These are the goods that these ship owners have brought that have not passed the auction review. Rather than taking them back the same way, they would rather sell them here or exchange them for goods from other continents."
Hill nodded in understanding and followed him towards a sealed pier in the middle of the port, where the auction was held on a ship.
