The mage arrives

The Durlington Knight belongs to the kind of man who is eye-catching wherever he goes and can become the focus of attention.As soon as he entered the auction hall, countless gazes came to him—female admiration and enthusiasm, envy and jealousy from men.

Although he met this knight once and talked a few words, Gordon didn't feel that he had anything to say to him, so he looked at him and focused on the dwarf-style reliefs on the surrounding walls. above.Moradin, the main god of the dwarves, has the functions of creation, craftsman, family, tribe and so on.This is also the core value of the dwarves.Therefore, the reliefs on the walls are mostly related to them.

Its artistic style is vigorous and masculine, with a feeling of boundless mountains.

But Gordon didn't want to pay attention to Dellington, but the knight took the initiative to find him.

After hastily dealing with a group of ladies who tried to get close, Knight Durlington and his friends who participated in the auction came to the round table where Gordon and Faria were sitting.

"Miss Faria, and Mr. Gordon, we meet again." The knight's handsome greeting and intoxicating smile can make many young girls scream and faint.

Since others took the initiative to greet him, Gordon could only stand up and respond, "Hello, Mr. Durrington."

He is not a superficial nympho woman, let alone a gay, so his eyes only stayed on Durlington's handsome face for half a second, and then turned to look at the people around Durlington.

Arriving with this knight, there is a handsome black-haired girl.Judging by her attire, she should be Durlington's maid.She is also the one who suffers the most female envy today.For those women whose minds are full of handsome men, being a maid for Knight Durrington is the most perfect job in the world.It might be an exaggeration to say that those women would do anything as long as they could stay by Durrington's side. [

Such an insignificant person should not have attracted Gordon's attention.But under the mage's glance, he found that the maid looked at him with eyes full of resentment, as if she wanted to gouge out her heart alive and eat it in one bite.

With this maid's age, identity, and life experience, it is impossible to have a deep city to disguise or hide her strong feelings.So Gordon can be sure that her hatred for him is real.But the question is, Gordon thinks that after crossing into the world of Tyros, he has never done anything harmful to the world. Why does a stranger hate him so much?

The maid seemed to notice that Gordon was staring at her, so she quickly lowered her head.Her body was trembling slightly, and it could be seen that the tension was spreading everywhere in her body.

"Anjieli, take it easy, you are my maid, you must have the bearing of the Eisenstein family!" Delington noticed the abnormality of the maid and lectured aloud.Then, he gave Gordon an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, both of you. This maid has just been with me not long ago, and she hasn't undergone strict training, so she is a bit rude. Let everyone laugh."

"harm."

At this time, beside Durlington, a middle-aged man wearing a golden robe with a stand-up collar interjected, "Baron Freeman, this maid of Durrington, was the one who reinforced your autumn hunting team in the Cold Mist Mountains. The rescued survivors. The girl's parents had already died, and Derlington took her with him when he saw that she was pitiful."

"This is a noble act that only the most orthodox nobles of Freyton can perform. I salute your kindness, Knight of Derrington!" Gordon complimented him, and then asked the mage who interrupted, "Are you ..."

"Azaran Delmarvic."

Knight Derlington added: "He is Earl Thompson's magic advisor, and he also participated in the autumn hunt. Don't you two know each other?"

Gordon and Asalan shouted at the same time, perfunctory.

Gordon is a mage, and Asalan is also a mage.It stands to reason that in the face of the crisis of being hunted down by the demon army, the two should work together to show their strengths and overcome the difficulties.However, due to the confrontation between Ms. Bishop and Earl Thompson, the earl's magic advisor did not join the temporary mage group, and did not even make a move on the battlefield.So, of course the two sides don't know each other.

But now that the crisis is over, excluding a few people—such as Xiona who was seriously injured and unconscious, the autumn hunt in Farfrost Province in 937 of the Fourth Era was considered a happy event.Therefore, the two people tacitly did not mention the conflict between the two major factions.However, for this young man and middle-aged man, the two mages have their own thoughts in their hearts.

Although he obeyed Earl Thompson, Asalan was the murderer who directly seriously injured Xiona.Moreover, since the news that the little girl was not dead came out, he and Earl Thompson have been planning how to get rid of this hidden danger as soon as possible to avoid getting burned.

Gordon, on the other hand, had heard of the name Asalan a long time ago.

After determining that the murderer who hurt Xiona was Earl Thompson, Gordon took time to learn about the Thompson family.The old earl who is at the helm of the family, his full name is Grundy Thompson, and his fief is located in San Jose Castle, 120 miles south of Clearwater City.Because there is a silver mine in the territory, the Thompson family has strong financial resources and has a well-equipped private army of 500 people. [

In terms of higher-end force, the Thompson family has a squad of arcane knights known as the "Twelve Sworn Swords" and four magic advisors.Asaran Delmavic in front of him is the most powerful and most trusted by the Earl among the four magic advisors.It is said that the earl not only married his fourth daughter to him, but also allocated a piece of land in his territory to build a mage tower for him.

Gordon looked at the pattern composed of the ouroboros and the six arcane rings on the robe of Asalan mage, and secretly thought about it.

"Six-ring mage...it really is him..."

There is an undercurrent in everyone's heart, but on the surface, they are harmonious.

Knight Dellington praised Faria's beauty today as usual, and the latter responded with a cold face and silence as usual.

The handsome knight laughed, as if he was accustomed to Faliya's indifference.He changed the subject and said, "By the way, I don't know what auction items Mr. Gordon came to see today?"

"Look around casually, just to relax. There is no particular goal." Gordon said.

"Is that so..." Asalan raised his eyebrows slightly, as if intending to test Gordon, "Among today's auction items, there is a pink centipede flower petal, which is a necessary raw material for preparing many high-level magic potions. As a A mage, Baron Freeman, you probably don’t know about it.”

Gordon's eyes swept over Asalan's deep-set eye sockets - this feature made Asalan's fairly upright face a bit sullen.

"I do have some interest. If Mr. Asalan wants it too, as a junior mage, I am willing to withdraw from the competition." Gordon said.

"Haha...how can this work? Since it's an auction, of course there must be fair competition. What's more, besides you and me, there are many people who want that pink petal."

After saying some unnutritious polite words, Derington and his party took their leave.

Before leaving, the maid next to Dellington turned her head to look at Gordon. The cold and resentful gaze made people feel uncomfortable.

"This woman seems to hate you very much," Faria said.

"You see it too?"

"Orlandos are very sensitive to wild beasts, especially beasts full of hatred."

Although Faliya's personality and intuition cultivated in the icy and snowy barbarian tribes are sometimes incompatible with the bustling human world, sometimes they are very useful.

"It seems that the Knight of Durrington has ulterior motives for keeping such a woman by his side as a maid."

If an aristocratic family, especially a long-established aristocrat like Eisenstein who was born in Durlington, wanted to recruit servants, there would definitely be extremely strict vetting procedures.So, Dellington must know the maid's hatred for him - with Dellington's IQ, he will never let a woman who doesn't know the details stay by his side.

This is worth pondering.

Like this kind of woman who has a deep hatred with another nobleman-even though Gordon doesn't know how to end the hatred, usually no nobleman is willing to take him in.If this maid impulsively came to assassinate Gordon, no matter what the result was, the Eisenstein family and Durlington himself would become the biggest suspects.

No one would do such a thing as setting yourself on fire.

Gordon glanced at Faliya secretly, and wondered to himself that it was because of the grand duke's daughter, so Dellington regarded himself as a rival in love and wanted to deal with him, right?

If it is true, wouldn't it be unfair.

However, even if this is the case, Gordon will not run to Derlington and say, "Faria and I are innocent, don't deal with me, let's be good friends."

Gordon has his own pride.

Want to play dirty?Want to deal with me?Come on then.

After Dellington and his party sat down three tables away from Gordon's left, the auction officially started soon.

The person in charge of the auction was a tall, thin, shrewd middle-aged man.Obviously, he is a veteran in this field, and he has already mobilized the atmosphere in the hall when the auction started and before any heavyweight auction items appeared.

At the auction held by the Lavaletti Chamber of Commerce, there are no boxes or other settings. Regardless of their status, they all sit in the hall.And every guest's table is equipped with fine wine and exquisite snacks.

Compared to auctions where buyers hid in private boxes to bid secretly, competitors at Lavaletti Chamber of Commerce's auctions could face each other directly, and under the stimulation of alcohol, the situation was often easily detonated.Therefore, the auctions of the Lavaletti Chamber of Commerce often set sky-high prices.

It has to be said that the interesting and unique Baron Lavaletti is very good at guessing people's hearts and doing business. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come (this site) to subscribe and reward. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
