Chapter 1435: The Ultimate God-Eating Rat of the Holy Land and the Azure Dragon Bloodline...

In the 9999th year of the Magnolia Calendar, in the exclusive auction hall of the Proulx Hall, distinguished guests arrived in horse-drawn carriages and were led to their seats by reception staff.

The auction hall is divided into three floors. The first floor is for ordinary seats, and the second floor is for independent boxes. Only nobles and wealthy people are qualified to enter each box, and the prices are shockingly high.

As for the third floor of the auction hall, it only has a very large living room with a very luxurious interior decoration. It is not open to the public at all, and only people with special identities are qualified to enter.

Because of Linley Baruch’s reputation as the newly crowned master of stone carving and the second greatest genius in history, the auction of the “Awakening from a Dream” stone sculpture was particularly lively.

At this moment, the hundreds of seats on the first floor of the auction hall were all occupied, and the price of each seat was as high as one hundred gold coins. As for the dozen or so boxes on the second floor, the starting price was at least one thousand gold coins.

Moreover, because the stone sculpture "Awakening from a Dream" was very well-known, many nobles and wealthy people were unwilling to travel hundreds of miles to come, resulting in a shortage of seats. Although the seats were openly sold for only one hundred gold coins, the resale price was ridiculously high.

The auction house made a ton of money just from selling these seats.

On the third floor of the auction hall, Linley Baruch was standing side by side with his roommate and elder roommate, Yale Dawson.

In addition, there was a little mouse jumping on Lin Lei's shoulder.

The two men and the rat, together, welcomed the distinguished guests from the Holy Alliance.

Among these distinguished guests were King Clyde of the Finlay Kingdom of the Holy Alliance, and two cardinals Gilmer and Lampson of the Holy See of Light, all of whom were important figures in the Holy Alliance.

They were talking on the third floor and seemed to be close to each other.

The top leaders of the Holy Alliance came to this auction not simply to compete for the stone sculpture, but to win over the magical genius Linley.

Among the top ten geniuses in the history of Magnolia Continent before Linley Baruch, the lowest-achieving one was a ninth-level great magician. Therefore, Linley, who had the second-fastest magic training speed in history, was favored by many people. Not only the Holy Alliance, but also the Dark Alliance and other top forces in the continent were vying to win him over.

"Twelve million gold coins!"

A clear young girl's voice resounded in the exclusive auction hall of the Proulx Hall, and countless nobles and big businessmen exclaimed in surprise. Although there were many wealthy people with a net worth of over 10 million among the present, using so many gold coins to buy a stone sculpture was too extravagant in their opinion.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"boom!"

The blonde host rang the gavel and announced excitedly, "Congratulations to the Ryan family for winning Master Linley's work "Awakening from a Dream" at a price of 12 million gold coins."

"I am honored to announce that the stone sculpture "Awakening from a Dream" has become the third most expensive work among the top ten stone sculptures. Only Master Hoover's "Lion with Blood Eyes and Mane" and Master Proulx's "Hope" have auctioned for more than this "Awakening from a Dream"."

The entire auction hall suddenly became noisy and warm applause broke out.

Inside the auction, the atmosphere was a little strange. Outside the auction venue, a young man who was eating at a roadside stall looked up blankly. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he muttered to himself in confusion, "Did I hear wrongly? Twelve million gold coins to buy a stone statue?"

"People in the material plane are really weird. One gold coin can buy a lot of food, but someone would actually spend 12 million to buy a stone? It's not carved from amethyst. Even if it is amethyst, it's not worth this price, right?"

The three big men who looked like bodyguards beside him were unable to explain the boy's confusion.

Several of them were born with powerful strength and had never experienced this mundane world. After coming to the material plane these days, everything they saw was new to them.

"A Saint Realm Limit, a God Devouring Rat, and a... Azure Dragon Bloodline? There's also a Saint Realm Soul? It's getting more and more interesting..." "The Saint Realm Soul didn't go to the Undead Realm after death? Nor did it go to the Earth Kingdom? That ring? The broken main artifact? What a great opportunity for this little guy? It seems to be the ring of the Azure Dragon Lord, the main artifact that was broken by Augusta back then?"

"How strange... Beirut didn't take it back..."

The young man looked at the people in the venue with great interest in his eyes, and the big men guarding him also had some surprise in their eyes when they heard his words.

They were considered the top powers in the supreme plane, and the three of them could even fight against the Great Perfection together, but even with such a combination, they did not fully fulfill the basic configuration of having three main artifacts per person.

And that young man actually possesses the main artifact?

You know, even in the highest plane like hell, there are still many palace lords and commanders who don't have the main artifact.

The three sturdy men looked at each other, and the young man suddenly found something interesting, and laughed again: "Haha, very interesting, I want to see more..."

Time flies. To the god-level warriors who use years as the most basic unit, several months seem to be only from morning to noon, which is very short.

On this day, the Marquisate of Linley Baruch welcomed the second group of special guests.

In the reception room of the Marquis’s mansion, Linley was talking to a middle-aged man holding a cardinal’s token. The middle-aged man was wearing a loose robe and had long black hair. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, and gave off a lazy vibe.

“Master Linley, killing a king?”

"I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request."

Xisai looked at Linley solemnly and said, “Killing a king would have too much influence. Besides, the Church of Light has been very nice to me. I don’t want the Church of Light and my Sabre Organization to come into conflict because of a stone sculpture.”

Xisai’s words dashed Lin Lei’s expectations, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face. Just as he was thinking about making a new request, a voice suddenly rang out in the living room.

“Lin Lei, really? Which king do you want to kill? Just tell me and I can promise you.”

A somewhat casual voice of a young man sounded, and then Linley and Xisai saw that someone had appeared in the living room without them noticing. It was a young man who looked a few years younger than Linley.

"His Excellency, I am honored to meet you. I wonder if you and Lord Beirut are..."

Linley was still a little confused, but Xisai, who was originally sitting, quickly stood up and saluted respectfully.

"I do know Beirut, but not well."

The young man glanced at Xisai and said casually, "When you think about it, his age is only a fraction of mine."

"hiss……"

Xisai couldn't help but take a deep breath and make a contribution to the warming of Magnolia Continent.

He, Xisai, can be considered an elder on the Magnolia Continent, having lived for over six thousand years, and Lord Beirut’s battle to fame was fought ten thousand years ago. If you calculate this way, the lord in front of him is definitely a big shot, and maybe he is from another dimension.

“Lin Lei, right? Let me have a look at that little mouse on your body, okay?”

The young man ignored Xisai. It was an honor for the latter to be able to talk to him, just a Sanctuary Limit.

He continued to look at Linley and asked to take a look at the little mouse.
