The Beginning of Panlong: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 43 Conspiracy and Blood Garnet
The city lord's palace in Manto City.

"Timothy, have the invitations been sent out?" The old man with a beard, aquiline nose, and triangular eyes looked down at the chubby middle-aged man with burning eyes.

Behind the old man, a young-looking man wearing a blue mage robe was guarding him.Although he looks like a young man, the vicissitudes of life in his eyes are full of pressure.

He puts more pressure on people than the old man with triangular eyes.

Sweat broke out on the chubby middle-aged man's head, and he did not maintain his calm attitude in front of eighth-level or even ninth-level warriors. "Mr. Vogt, eight invitations have been sent out, and now three people have expressed their opinions. Will attend.”

"Very good~" The old man known as 'Lord Vogt' nodded, "Please step back first."

As the fat middle-aged man left the room, the old man raised his head and said as if to the air, "This year's target has been chosen. There are no background forces. They are all from the 'West'. They have made a lot of money from their transactions during this time. They all have at least 300 million gold coins... enough for your organization's needs, Mr. 'No. [-]'."

Before he finished speaking, a figure walked out of the shadows.

This figure's clothing is very ordinary, exactly like the clothing of ordinary civilians in the Magnolia Empire. It's just that the position he occupies and the control of light and shadow make his appearance unrecognizable.

If you are knowledgeable, you will definitely see that this is definitely a top killer, and he is the kind of top killer who is good at hidden assassinations.

"That's enough. Mr. Vogt, the organization will record your contribution this time." The figure hidden in the darkness said coldly, "In addition, it is best to call me 'Aaron' when you are outside."

"Mr. Aaron." The old man named Vogt paused and continued, "But let me make it clear first. The strength of these people is unknown. If there is a ninth-level strong man with hidden strength among them, your mission will fail. But you can’t blame me.”

"Don't worry, if these strong men really have level nine strength, I will personally kill them." The voice of the black shadow 'No. [-]' was still calm, but Lord Vogt did not say any more.

He knew very well that although he was the lord of a city and had a very high status, he did not have as powerful a figure as the assassin in front of him who only had a code name but no name.

The opponent is not only a ninth-level warrior, but also an extremely terrifying one among the ninth-level warriors. He once killed a ninth-level monster one-on-one.

If the other party's organization hadn't sent Number [-] out to contact him, he wouldn't have arranged to select three (at least) eighth-level warriors with no background connections for the other party as targets for the other party's organization to train assassins.

"Lord City Lord, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first." The black shadow 'No. [-]' bowed, his expression cold and unusual.

"Okay, I will send more specific information to 'that place'." Lord Vogt, the Lord of Mantor City, nodded and watched as the shadow of Number Five gradually faded and disappeared into the room. .

"Three unlucky guys." The Lord of Manto City looked at the disappearance of 'No. [-]', shook his head, and turned to the magician aside, "Teacher Green, are you sure you can deal with him?"

The great wind mage 'Green' looked solemnly and shook his head, "No, this guy's movements are too fast. If I want to take action, I can't lock him at all... What's more, I don't recommend you to deal with him. "

"He... is just the No. [-] killer of that organization." The great wind mage who looked young but was actually the teacher of the old man with triangular eyes, the city lord of Manto City, shook his head, "I suggest that we cooperate with them for the time being. , your family can’t offend the other party.”

There was silence in the room.

------

In a hotel in Manto City, an auction is going on.

Unlike most auctions, this auction does not include stone carvings, paintings, and jewelry, which are the nobles' favorite works of art. Instead, it mainly features some well-made weapons, high-level magic scrolls, potions to treat injuries, and so on.

Needless to say, this is an auction aimed at adventurers, those powerful warriors and magicians who enter the Warcraft Mountains to hunt down Warcraft.

"65 gold coins. Congratulations to Mr. Mage for purchasing a wand inlaid with an eighth-level magic crystal core [Wand of Fire and Wrath]." A woman with fiery red hair and scantily clad clothes banged her hammer and announced loudly.

"The next auction item is a blood garnet! It weighs thirty kilograms. The base price is 100 million gold coins. The price will increase by [-] gold coins each time."

"Two million gold coins." A voice came out, and Hogg made a bid calmly.

"Two million and a half million gold coins." A rough voice came from another direction, "I must get this blood garnet!"

Hogg raised his eyes and added [-] gold coins.

"210 million gold coins!"

In such a fierce bidding, the woman in charge of hosting also added fuel to the flames and used words to get more people to join the bidding. In the blink of an eye, the price exceeded 260 million gold coins.

The fierce bidding for a "gem" that is only the size of a finger seems strange. After all, even some treasures handed down from generation to generation are nothing more than that.

But in fact, no one thinks the price is high.

Because this is a "blood garnet", which is the most precious weapon refining material and the best material used to make weapons. It is comparable to "black garnet".

It was precisely because of this blood garnet that Hogg changed his attention and participated in this auction.

after all. . .He also needs a suitable weapon.

In the battle with the Black Dragon King of the Sanctuary, his sword "Yu Ye" had been broken.

It is said that although the weapon-refining master of the Holy Alliance said that the Yuye Saber spent [-] gold coins was enough to be used in the fight between the strong men of the Holy Domain, but in fact. . .This sword is indeed good, but it is still far from the strength promised by the weapon master.

It is indeed true that the Yuye sword can withstand the battle under the sanctuary.

But Hogg fought with the Holy Black Dragon. Although this sword could hurt the Holy Black Dragon, it still broke in the fiercest battle. It was obviously unable to withstand the battle at the Holy Level.

What's even more annoying is that Hogg can't find trouble with the master of weapon refining.

Making trouble for the other party is equivalent to exposing one's own strength, so Hogg will naturally not take it.

Therefore, he had to find a way to re-create a sword, a weapon that could bear the responsibility of fighting now and even after he broke through and entered the sanctuary.

Hogg is not an expert in making weapons, but he also knows that the quality of weapons mainly depends on two things.One is the weapon refining skills of those who make weapons, and the other is the ore materials used to make weapons.

A hemogarnet weighing [-] kilograms is actually not very large, only about the size of half a finger. However, if a powerful enough refiner can fuse this ore into steel, its toughness will reach an incredible level.

Such a sword is enough for him to use.

Therefore, he was determined to get this blood garnet.

"220 million gold coins." With tens of millions of gold coins in hand, Hogg still felt confident.
