"What the hell is he being arrogant about? Do you really think that because you are the eldest son of some family, you can just walk away in the game?"
"Moshang Qingshan, right? Wash my neck and wait! We Honghua will suffer a loss, and there has never been a time when we couldn't get it back..."
"The guy who can hook up with the whispering female devil shouldn't be a good friend no matter what, right? I think it's better to be careful and let the big shots settle accounts with them..."
"What are you afraid of? If he was really that talented, he should have jumped out eight hundred years ago! Don't mention his name now, even the guild he belongs to has not reported one, and he only relies on an NPC as his backer...
"
Discussions like those in a vegetable market instantly began to echo in the middle of the underground auction hall, and became louder and louder as someone left, but whether it was the NPC forces staying in place or sitting in the private rooms on both sides.
None of the major guilds seemed to show the same sense of restlessness - several game characters who had a good relationship with the old man Gal began to approach him, and took advantage of the opportunity of greetings and business discussions to get involved with that person.
According to the man's intelligence, the members of several guilds who had lost their targets also started preparations before leaving. At the same time, they arranged follow-up tasks related to the results of this time. Their eyes kept turning between each other's opponents.
, seems to have begun to estimate every gain and loss of this auction, but no matter how those eyes turn, they will still gather on the top of the pile of wooden boxes in the center of the hall from time to time together with other spectators or players.
Those were the last few auction items left by Duan Qing when he was wearing cool clothes. At this time, they were like a treasure with a value of one million gold coins, unknowingly attracting everyone's attention.
"Moshang Qingshan...right?"
Sansheng Yutang in the Borderlands private room said with a face: "Such an arrogant guy...how come I have never heard of him before?"
"Either he is a big shot who has never shown his identity, or he is a fool." A certain black-armored warrior named Chaos Shadowfang curled his lips and replied: "But no matter what, this guy's emotional intelligence must be very low...
…”
"Even if that guy is just bluffing, he has offended all the teams here."
In the private room of the Devil's Paradise on the other side, Mephisto, with a sullen face, said calmly to the president next to him: "Even if he has Huyu Liushang as a thug... the combat power of the three top teams in the league is not the same.
An average player can afford it.”
"I'm just afraid that we won't need to take action by then."
A shirtless man sitting in the middle lowered his head and replied, while pointing to another private room next to them: "Looking at the previous reactions, those guys seem to have some old grudges with the second best person in the world..."
"Ha, the Angry Demon is interested in that girl... wasn't this 'news' a long time ago?" Mephisto blew the hair that fell on his arms, and then pulled out a malicious smile: "
Now there is a wealthy young master out of thin air... This is not a good plot development no matter how you look at it."
"That's not necessarily true." The naked man responded coldly: "If it's that woman..."
"The second best position in the world may have an unexpected result."
It seems that he did not expect that the other party would come to such a conclusion. Mephisto, who was playing with the transparent dagger he had just obtained, once again turned his scrutiny to the direction of his old enemy. One of the parties mentioned by them was here.
Tokiya was trying hard to persuade his comrades in that room: "Can you stop making trouble? We don't even understand the situation..."
"If we really pay a million for picking up a horse, God may not skin us anymore!"
"There is no need for God to intervene, Frog Lady alone is enough..."
"So what are you struggling with? Who teaches us all day long not to value equipment too much?"
"It's not a question of equipment at all! Do we still need labor to explain this?"
The angry maniac who had been silent since returning to the room suddenly stood up, with a look of restless anger on his face: "He, they... the labor and management felt something was wrong when they first met them.
!”
"Don't make random guesses, okay? I'm not sure what's going on." Yun Jingbu on the side muttered helplessly: "It's not like you don't know that woman's temperament, and her behavior just now is not in line with hers at all.
Image, you haven’t understood the plot yet, so you first took out the clothes of a tragic character and put them on yourself..."
"Yes, yes." The immortal star soul with his hands on his hips also nodded: "Maybe it's someone else's family matter at all. What's the use of us jumping around... Oops!"
"What's wrong is that you can't speak!" The red-haired devil resurrected and kicked the fat man away, then coughed and stood in front of the two-sword warrior: "That... we have all seen that man before. He's long.
You are not handsome, and your equipment is not good. Even if that is the case, don’t worry! You are so stylish, and there are so many brothers supporting you. Even if it is a fair competition, we will not necessarily lose.
wrong……"
"...go gather our people."
Without directly answering the other party's words, the angry madman suddenly issued his own order: "Monitor all resurrection points in Freedom City."
"Hey, what are you going to do? Even if we can defeat those bodyguards, we will still be doing business in Oxon..."
"I didn't say I was going to go in and arrest anyone. Why are you excited?"
Faintly brushing away a few pairs of hands that wanted to hold him again, the double-sword warrior walked to the window in a few steps: "I just think... they should be sent back to the city without me taking action."
"……ah?"
"And those things."
Recalling the legendary long sword that appeared at the previous auction, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the angry madman: "If that man is really pretending, the Oxon Chamber of Commerce will naturally not let him go.
, but...what will happen to the things he took in the end?"
"Well..." Yun Jingbu, who had awakened, put his chin on his head and thought: "It's impossible to retake the photo. The highest possibility is to recycle it, but... if we discuss it, we may be able to close the deal with the previous one.
Get the price..."
"Find someone to take care of this."
Faintly waving his hand towards the outside, the angry madman turned around and looked at the others, then opened the door next to him and walked out under the gaze of other interested people: "Stare at those things..."
"This matter is not over yet."
***************************
"This matter...is finally coming to an end."
Stepping across the threshold of a certain steel gate, Duan Qing walked into the core of the Chamber of Commerce in the deepest part of the underground with his arms that were whispering. Then he looked at the face of a dark figure surrounded by several bodyguards, and revealed
A relieved smile: "It's just that I didn't expect..."
"The thread that started with our speculation... will finally be revealed with such a straightforward result."
"Welcome you two."
A wide variety of luxurious appliances are placed on the large luxurious desk, and various types of finely crafted metal and magic instruments are also placed randomly around the large room. The dark figure sitting behind the wooden desk
He also lowered his folded hands and clearly showed his forward-leaning face: "I am Oxon, the president of the Oxon Chamber of Commerce, the owner of the Oxon Auction House, and..."
"The spokesman of the Restoration in the City of Liberty."
"Do you also want to become the third public force on the Free Continent?" Duan Qing pointed to the black-clad bodyguards who were watching eagerly around him: "Follow the rebels in the Principality?"
"First of all, we have no intention of making it public." Oxen smiled and took care of his black clothes, and replied slowly: "Secondly... our companions in the principality are not rebels."
"They are originally our people." His eyes condensed for a moment: "People of the Magic Empire."
"...Okay, okay, I won't argue with you about this." So Duan Qing pushed his hands: "Let's talk about something more meaningful, such as...do you know us?"
"Actually... we discovered you from the moment you came to this venue."
The man in black who called himself Oxon combed his hair with his hand: "But I am very happy that you can come to participate in our charity fundraising operation, so I have never wanted to drive you out of here.
Meaning, although I didn’t expect that such unpleasant things would happen later..."
"I'm very sorry for disturbing your money-making plan." Duan Qing showed a pleasant smile: "But... it doesn't seem to be a very moral thing to auction things that are made in the furnace, right?"
"Oh? It seems that you have also figured out how to use the furnace?" Oxen raised his head, his eyes also revealed a light of interest: "Since you also know the value of that thing... then you should also know
, how great is the goal we are pursuing, right?"
"I have no idea."
Duan Qing suppressed the smile on his face and replied expressionlessly: "There are no problems in this era. I am also very satisfied with my profession as a warrior, so I will not be interested in powerful and prosperous magic.
The empire... has no interest whatsoever. It is your wish to change the fate of others. We would not have any intersection in the first place, but if you change the fate of others at will for your great cause..."
"This is not in line with our philosophy of life." He pointed in the direction of the principality: "Many adventurers... will not be able to stand it."
"Successful people will only praise the justice of successful people, while losers have nothing to say."
The person who answered Duan Qing was not the interested Oxen sitting behind the table, but another man in black who looked like a butler and suddenly pushed in the door from the back of the room: "So for the words of you guys... I never
There is only one assessment.”
"That's stupid!"
The black thin sword flashed a black light in the air, quickly stabbed in front of Duan Qing, and then tilted to one side under the cover of another black light, and was nailed to the steel wall behind. The blue-haired woman on the side immediately flashed
He flew behind Duan Qing and kicked away the bodyguards in black who were trying to rush up again from the side. However, before more enemies could rush in front of Duan Qing and Duan Qing, Ao Xiao, who had been sitting in the middle, flew away.
Kesen spoke up to stop the fight from happening: "Wait a minute, wait a minute..."
"I didn't come to you just to fight."
He stretched out his hand and pressed it slightly towards both sides of the desk. At the same time, he also suppressed the light that was about to shine in Duan Qing's eyes, as well as the housekeeper who was about to take action: "If you want to take action...
I already gave the order to take action when we were outside, didn't I?"
"..."
"And Mr. Harvey... please don't be so impulsive."
Faintly extending his hand to the man in black who looked like a butler, Oxen called him back with a smile: "As for my own views, I believe I have made it very clear before. Since you are now a
As a host who is recuperating, please respect my opinion a little bit, okay?"
"So what's your opinion...?"
"I wonder if you have heard of...the three legends of Liberty City?"
As if answering the questions raised by Duan Qing and the housekeeper at the same time, Oxen asked in a low voice: "This is a very famous legend that has been circulating here."
"……Appreciate further details."
"The first legend...or rather a mystery, is the Bridge of Miracles."
Looking at Duan Qing, whose attitude had softened, the man in black in the center crossed his arms and propped himself up in front of the table: "About its origin, its function, why it has stood in the sea for thousands of years without falling, and the most important thing...
…Where it leads is a mystery now.”
"...So you want to unlock this secret?"
"No, no, no, this is just an introduction, a beginning." Oxon rested his chin on his folded hands: "Although countless adventurers plunge into that bottomless pit every day, this is not what I want.
What you said..."
"The second legend...that is the pirate's treasure."
He grinned: "There are many versions of this legend, so many that I can't even remember them clearly. But as you might expect, none of these rumors can be proven to be true. But I am a very
A kind restorer is also a businessman who is easily deceived, so no matter what, there is one thing I always believe in..."
"The pirate's treasure must exist." He said with a smile: "And maybe... it is related to the fate of this city."
"...So you want us to find this treasure?"
"...What I really want to unlock is the secret mentioned in the third legend."
Facing the gazes cast by Duan Qing and Xu Yu Liushang, Oxen lowered his head deeply: "That's... what the city lord looks like."
"……ah?"
"Since the establishment of the City of Freedom, no one knows the true identity of the city lord. There is only the existence that belongs to him, and the figure who secretly takes action every time an accident occurs that destroys the freedom of the city."
Oxon's voice was slow and low, as if he was telling the most secret story in the world: "Even in the few records of meeting the city lord, they only wrote a lot about the meeting, but they didn't
The identity of the city lord, and... the appearance and clothing of the city lord were never mentioned."
"Isn't this something very suspicious?"
"……so?"
"So I want to send out a commission."
In the quiet room, Oxen's eyes were fixed on Duan Qing's face: "I heard that you guys will do anything for reward, and you just have to meet the city lord..."
"I wonder if you can fulfill this small commission for my small wish?"
