The mage arrives

"Big villain, that's the table. <My cousin and the young master of the Mantle Manning family are there, you should know them, right?" Jier quietly introduced the people who would be at the same table to Gordon as she walked.

"I know your cousin. The young master of the Mante Manning family, I only know his father. But seeing his simple and honest fisherman face, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with." Gordon said, "But in a while You'd better call me 'Lord Freeman'."

Hearing Gordon describe the young master Yaroslav, whose personal wealth ranks among the top ten in Fleuris City, as a simple fisherman, Jier couldn't help laughing, and then glared at Gordon again: "Why, to me Do you have a problem with calling you a big villain? There are already so many girls around you, and you keep provoking more girls...Aren't you a big villain?"

"Okay, you are Missy, you can call me whatever you want." Gordon spread his hands, not intending to defend himself at all, "It's just that I'm afraid others will be jealous."

"Jealous? Why are you jealous?"

"Because of the entire multiverse, only I have the honor of being called a big villain by you, Miss."

"You..." Miss Ji'er finally couldn't help herself, and lightly pinched the man beside her, but she didn't speak anymore, because the two had already walked to the big round table and were about to sit down.

Including Gordon and Jill, there are four men and four women at this table.The most powerful girl in the city of Freiris arrived, and everyone at the same table stood up to welcome her.It's just that Jier's cousin, Earl Raymond, looked a little ugly.

When seeing Jier and Gordon coming together, even holding hands intimately.His face quickly turned from a spring breeze to a cloudy one.

Before participating in this charity auction reception, Raymond had also invited Jier.But the other party rejected him very simply.At that time, he thought that his cousin was just shy, and that he might not be with a man of the same age when she attended the auction.Instead, an elder would be chosen—such as her uncle and teacher, Savile Landon.So Raymond invited another beautiful noble lady.

Who knows, the cousin actually came here with that annoying outsider, Gordon Freeman whom he despised from the bottom of his heart.

Thinking about how proudly he was bragging just now that he would be able to catch Ji'er in a short time, now that he was in this situation, he was slapping himself in the face.

Fortunately, the young people at the same table are all well-educated upper-class people. Even if they have any thoughts in their minds, they will not take the initiative to expose Mr. Raymond's sore spots.So this matter was quickly and deliberately ignored.

Although he noticed Cousin Jier's inexplicable secret hostility, Gordon didn't care.He sat down with a formulaic smile.But in an instant, his body froze, and he felt a cold and tricky aura enveloped him.He looked around and locked his eyes on the person behind Count Raymond.

It is very common for nobles to bring one or two personal attendants with them when they attend such a large reception, so Gordon didn't pay much attention just now.But now, it seemed that standing behind Earl Raymond, the Mr. Swordsman with a small beard and sleek hair, seemed to have bad intentions towards him.

Or.Because Earl Raymond didn't like Gordon, this so-called loyal subordinate secretly made a move to make Gordon look ugly.

Gordon sat down as if nothing had happened, and looked at the swordsman with a smile: "Lord Earl Raymond, who is the loyal guard behind you? Before I even sat down, I could feel the powerful aura emanating from him. impressive."

"He is an honorary knight of Martin. The assistant I just recruited has the strength of a thirteenth-level swordsman." Raymond proudly introduced to Gordon.

Beauties, treasures, strange beasts, talents.They are all things that can be used by nobles to show off.

"It is my honor to meet a master swordsman tonight." Gordon greeted that Mr. Martin. "You must have awakened the power, and the main function of the power is to weaken the enemy's physical functions."

Although Gordon behaved politely, Martin, who was meticulously dressed, wearing a tuxedo and carrying a gorgeous rapier, had a turmoil in his heart.

Gordon was able to withstand his sneak attack just now, and he didn't lose his strength all of a sudden, lying on the dining table and showing his ugly face, which already surprised him.It is unheard of for a mage whose body should be very fragile to be able to withstand the effects of his own power.Moreover, the other party not only immediately and keenly noticed that it was him who made a sneak attack secretly, but also revealed the specific role of his power in one word.

"This Gordon Freeman is very powerful..." Martin saluted with awe in his heart, "You're flattering me, I'm not a master of swordsmanship."

Earl Raymond did not notice the confrontation between the two people hidden under the words, but proudly said: "Martin, don't be too humble. You are the solo champion of the free group in this year's martial arts tournament. As a man, you should win for yourself. Be proud of your glory, don't hide it."

The so-called free group is a group specially set up for mercenaries, adventurers, wandering warriors and other non-noble classes in the tournament.Although these people are generally weaker than the contestants from the nobility and military who have undergone systematic training, some truly strong players occasionally emerged in previous years.

However, this Martin honorary knight obviously does not belong to the real powerhouse.Although his level is very high, it can only mean that he has achieved good results in the guild test. It may reflect his strength from one angle, but it cannot fully reflect his strength.

At least in Gordon's view, this Mr. Martin will definitely not be the opponent of Reynasi or Xiona.

After this episode, everyone at the dinner table was safe and sound, and soon the auction opened.

A piece of auction item was brought to the stage, and then was auctioned by nobles and wealthy businessmen who spent money like water.In order to let the audience see the details of the auction items, the organizer of the agate mask auction even set up a huge magic curtain, and projected crystal balls to enlarge the details of each auction item and present them to the eyes of every participant. in front of you.

However, no matter how good these detailed services are, Gordon has no interest.As he had expected before, the items at the auction were all gold and silver jewelry, or famous paintings and antiques, which might have artistic value, but to Gordon, they had no practical value.

But soon, when another auction item was placed on the auction stage by a beautiful wild elf girl, it caught Gordon's attention.

This is an oddly shaped cylindrical sculpture made of obsidian.Judging by the ancient and wild artistic style, it should belong to a tribe that is not fully civilized.In terms of artistic beauty, this stuff can't attract women's attention.In terms of historical background, there is no way to attract men's attention.Except for collectors with a curiosity-seeking mentality, I am afraid not many people will spend money on it.

However, Gordon was one of the few people in the venue who had the desire to buy this totem ornament.

"This is a black devil totem made by the voodoo priests of the barbarians of Tanfa Island. It is engraved with the most revered black devil god of the barbarians on the island. It is said that this totem has a strange magic power. It is not destined to hold it. At the beginning, a The adventure team got a total of six dark totems from Tanfa Island, but in the end, only this one has been preserved intact. The other dark totems were all destroyed in the terrible catastrophic explosion."

The curious story introduced by the auctioneer did not make too many people interested in this Dark Totem.Even Miss Jier, who was sitting next to Gordon, lost her enthusiasm and just fiddled with a small piece of butter chestnut cake in front of her.

"Hey, big villain, are you interested in this ugly thing?" Seeing Gordon carefully looking at the auction items on the stage, Jier couldn't help but feel moved, and asked in his ear.

The intimate actions of the two made Earl Raymond frowned, feeling very unhappy.

"I think this dark totem is very interesting."

"No way, such an ugly stone stick... especially the rows of round stones inlaid on it reminds me of the thousands of secondary eyes of the giant stone hunting spider. It's really disgusting..."

Jill looked like she was going to get goosebumps all over her body.Gordon Zhidào, her condition has a scientific name on Earth, which is called "intensive phobia".

The hundreds of black round stones that look like eyeballs densely inlaid on the black devil totem as decorations are indeed very disgusting.But it was for these stones that Gordon was going to photograph the Dark Totem.

Dark Lord?How could a small savage tribe have enough faith to support a true god?

Strange magic?It's even more nonsense.Any official mage—even if he only has one level of arcane attainment, can tell that this black devil totem is not a magic item at all.And the catastrophic explosion caused by the black devil totem that the auctioneer said was actually caused by the small boulders inlaid on it.

In the entire auction venue, no, it can even be said that in the entire city of Fleuris, Gordon is probably the only person who can recognize this rare pebble.

He had seen this kind of rare small round stone in "Ancient Era", and its official name was "Sound Shock Stone".This sonic shock stone has a special ability, that is, it can produce violent, high-frequency vibrations under certain conditions, and finally explode instantly.Moreover, the sound shock stone can not only vibrate and explode by itself, but also drive any nearby inorganic objects to vibrate and explode.

Although the earth and the world of Telos have completely different physical laws, Gordon feels that "resonance" can barely be used to explain this strange phenomenon.

Since the vibration caused by the sound vibration stone is a special source energy, not arcane energy, it is not considered a magic material in the eyes of everyone, and it did not attract the attention of many spellcasters at the auction.But Gordon knew that if this kind of small stone was used properly, it could explode with extremely powerful power.To be continued...)
