An old man named Maledice was once a high-ranking member of the imperial military and participated in the second overseas landing battle.

He has gone through wars and made numerous achievements.

After retirement, the old man was awarded the title of Honorary Marquis, which can be regarded as the upper class among the imperial dignitaries.

At the same time, he was also the immediate boss of Pompey and Sibert, and he valued them very highly during the war.

It was just because of a war that Pompeii and Siebert had a disagreement, which eventually led to the two comrades-in-arms directly turning against each other and never communicating with each other until death.

This time, it was because Miss Ruiyin, the granddaughter of Mr. Maledice, had some physical problems and asked them for help, which made the two meet again after many years.

"Well... forget it, Pompeii."

Maledius said slowly and shook his head.

"General, although I hate Pompeii, I have to say that I also know the young man he mentioned... Mr. Jack is indeed very talented. Why not let him try? Maybe..."

Under Pompeii's surprised eyes, Siebert said in a deep voice.

But before he finished speaking, Maledius raised his hand to stop him.

"Okay, no need to say any more. It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't trust that young man named Jack... The problem with little Ruiyin touches on mystery, and it is not an ordinary intractable disease.

And I've found a cure, which is what we're here for today, isn't it?"

Pompeii and Siebert looked regretful, but in the end they nodded.

Since the old boss doesn't agree, there is nothing we can do.

They are only responsible for making suggestions, and the one who really makes the decision is Maledice himself. After all, it is about the old boss's favorite granddaughter, so if you be cautious, they can understand.

"Five hundred and sixty gold pounds."

The man bidding against Chen Lun once again raised his sign and cast a warning look.

Chen Lun smiled slightly.

"Six hundred gold pounds."

His calm words made it seem like the dignitaries who had just bid for the auction didn't take the money seriously at all.

The man was a little angry, but he still gritted his teeth and raised his sign.

"Six hundred and ten gold pounds!"

He is just an ordinary extraordinary person in the wild, and his entry into the mysterious realm was due to luck.

Most of the money used for bidding was the family's inheritance, which kept him stumbling forward, but more than 600 gold pounds had almost reached his limit.

This made him anxious.

He was bound to win this lot because he had been stagnant in Sequence 9 for many years and had recently encountered danger and was being followed by a mysterious man.

He urgently needs follow-up extraordinary knowledge so that he can be promoted.

but now……

"Six hundred and fifty gold pounds."

Chen Lun was too lazy to add ten gold pounds slowly and directly raised the price by one level.

The man who was bidding with him clenched his teeth and raised the sign with a slight trembling. His eyes when looking at Chen Lun changed from anger to a hint of pleading.

"Six hundred and sixty gold pounds..."

He opened and closed his mouth slightly, and silently said the words "please" to Chen Lun.

Chen Lun saw it clearly, but was indifferent.

"Seven hundred gold pounds."

He raised the price again.

This time, the man finally gave in and sat slumped on the chair, completely powerless. His despair and pain even surprised the two distinguished guests next to him.

They completely couldn't understand why it was so lost when it was just a book.

The other guests seemed to have little interest in the book and did not get involved. Finally, the host knocked three times with a gavel in his hand and announced that "Keyhole" belonged to Chen Lun.

'Actually, the price of this book is already somewhat high. According to the extraordinary knowledge of ordinary Sequence 8, the price will only fluctuate between five and six hundred gold pounds...but the auction will indeed be much higher than the market price.'

Chen Lun thought to himself.

He glanced casually and noticed that the man who had not taken the photo of the mysterious book had left the scene lonely. He dragged his heavy steps and walked outside.

Chen Lun thought for a while and waved to a waiter beside him.

The waiter bent down and Chen Lun whispered a few words in his ear.

The waiter nodded and chased after the man.

After stopping him, and after some exchanges, the man turned back to look at Chen Lun, showing a surprised expression.

At the same time, the other person's eyes were full of hope.

'After all, he has extraordinary combat power. If he can be bought with a piece of knowledge, it would be a good choice... The circus has a long way to go in the future.'

Chen Lun shook his head slightly.

He asked the waiter to convey a message, that is, the extraordinary knowledge of [Sequence 8 - Locksmith] could be given to the man, but there were conditions.

If you are interested, we can discuss it in detail after the meeting.

"The next lot is a material from the mysterious field. Its name is 'Sunset Chrysanthemum Dew'. It is rich in fragrance and strong medicinal power. If it is prepared with special techniques, it can even be used to make a 'panacea' that can cure the disease."

All kinds of diseases.”

The host Yuri used a very seductive tone to describe a small tube of transparent liquid in his hand.

"According to the request of the client, the starting price is two hundred gold pounds, and each increase in price shall not be less than five gold pounds."

Chen Lun laughed dumbly.

The host's words are obviously misleading.

Because many extraordinary materials can be used to prepare potions for curing diseases, not sunset chrysanthemum dew. But these ordinary people don't know. Even if they are in high positions, have power and wealth, they probably only have a partial understanding of things in the mysterious field.

.

And even for deployment, extraordinary beings of the relevant sequence are needed.

Not everyone can prepare extraordinary potions.

As expected, the guests in the audience became interested.

"Two hundred and five gold pounds."

"Two hundred and ten gold pounds!"

"Two hundred and twenty-five gold pounds."

"Two hundred and fifty gold pounds..."

"..."

The fierce bidding began, which made Chen Lun shake his head secretly.

I just came to buy some ceremony materials, but I didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

Even if these ordinary dignitaries took photos of this material, it would not be of much use. It was just the desire in their hearts that was aroused by the host.

'It seems like I'm spending a lot more money...'

Chen Lun thought expressionlessly.

"Five hundred gold pounds."

At this time, an old voice came from the corner.

Chen Lun looked out of the corner of his eye and saw that it was the old man who was with Pompeii Sibert.

"Five hundred and five gold pounds!"

"Five hundred and twenty gold pounds."

"Five hundred and thirty gold pounds!"

The sound of bidding did not stop and continued to sound.

The old man's deep voice said again:

"One thousand pounds of gold."

This time, it was a little quieter.

Chen Lun frowned slightly.

'This price is already several times higher...'

He didn't quite understand why the old man was so obsessed with "Sunset Chrysanthemum", and he had never seen the old man bid for anything else before.

It can be seen that the old man came here just for this thing.

consistent with your own purpose.
