Darkening Guardian Knight

"Yeah." Kate nodded, and signed the document very simply, "The transaction price should not exceed 50, otherwise you may not be able to recover the cost."

"Oh." Assas took the psychic document signed by Kate with spiritual power, licked his tongue and said uncertainly, "Is it not more than 50? I'll try my best."

After speaking, he raised the number plate used for bidding, called out a number, and suppressed all the previous bidders.

"40 million!"

This price shocked many people, because the asking price of this sword was 31 before, and the sudden price increase of [-] caught many people who were planning to bid for this sword by surprise.

"41."

Someone bid again, wanting to test the bottom line of the bidder just now.

"50 million!"

Assas raised the price in seconds, showing his determination, and he was sure to win the sword.

At this time, no one moved rashly.In fact, the price of 50 is almost the limit for a damaged old-age weapon, and if it is increased, it is very likely to lose money.

And this is the first lot, and it is obviously not worth spending too much money on it.

So everyone was silent, 50 seemed like an eternal fixed number.

When the auctioneer saw that no one was bidding any more, he hammered the gavel three times, marking a successful conclusion to the first transaction:

"Since no one has raised the price, this old knight sword belongs to the gentleman from H482!"

As soon as these words fell, the relaxed atmosphere returned to the auction house.The first lot sold for a decent price.

It's a good start for this auction.

In the room, the attendants had delivered the knight sword that Assas had bought, and Assas took out his gold card and settled the auction fee.

"Huh... Fortunately, no one is arguing anymore. If they increase the price slowly, the final transaction price of this sword will be around 70 to [-]. From this point of view, we have already taken advantage of it." After confirming the receipt, Assas breathed a sigh of relief, sat on a chair and drank tea, and commented.

"It's also thanks to you that you brought the price down to my bottom line..." Kate said with a complicated mood, holding up the knight sword she "paid in advance", and looked at it for a long time.

"How, is there anything magical about this sword?" Assas approached and asked jokingly.

"Even if there is, it's not so easy to see." Kate replied calmly, "Most of the things that can be put up for auction have been checked by the Illuminati, and there is basically no possibility for you to take advantage of them."

"Then what should I do? Are you admitting that you bought a collection with 50 yuan?" Assas said with a smile, "I don't think you are the kind of person who is willing to suffer."

"Do you know me well?" Kate snorted, her eyebrows raised slightly, "No matter how hard this sword is, it has the hardness of an ordinary A-level weapon, and it won't be too bad to use it as a whiteboard... But it is indeed as you said, There's something mysterious about this sword."

"What mystery?" Assas asked curiously, "Didn't even the Illuminati check it out?"

"Well... I'm afraid it is." Kate stroked the blade and said, "In fact, this sword hides the power of a domain, but it seems that the level of martial arts is a bit high. I haven't touched the threshold yet, so I can only vaguely know that there is such a skill."

"Wait, domain skills?!" Assas said in surprise, "Generally, weapons with additional domain abilities are super powerful weapons above S rank?! How could it be sold as an A-level weapon? This is impossible! If this sword is really an item of that level, the Illuminati will definitely not sell it!"

"Well, according to my opinion, this sword should be the work of the Holy See in the old era." Kate said, "The Illuminati and the Holy See were only in a cooperative relationship at the beginning, and they didn't know many secrets of the Holy See. They don't know much about the Holy See, such as knight swords. It's not surprising that they can't see the actual ability of this sword."

"So that's the case, and what you said makes sense." Assas asked again, "But how did you see it?"

Kate paused, and replied seriously: "Because the martial art I practice is chivalry."

Chivalry, the martial art that is almost forgotten in this continent.

The Luminaries within the Illuminati may know this.

But if you don't really practice this way, you can't exhaust the mystery of this way!

"The way of chivalry..." Assas was convinced by this answer. There are very few knights in the Shenguang Continent, and very few become knights.

And Kate doesn't seem to be an ordinary knight, maybe she really knows some secrets that even the Illuminati don't understand.

Section [-] Weird Things

The second lot is an A-grade potion provided by the Illuminati, "Holy Water of Light".This potion has a strong recovery ability, it is said that it can save people from dying, and the damage under the truth can be eliminated by this potion!

This is a powerful healing potion!

However, both Assas and Kate lack interest in this. The former is confident and has no shortage of analogues, while the latter is confident that he has the mysterious black beads and does not need this thing.

"This holy water is a real Grade A potion, and the price may exceed one million." Kate commented.

"Well, for an auction, this starting point is really high." Assas also said, "I'm starting to look forward to the next lot."

Bright holy water was finally bought at a high price of 140 million.

This price is actually much higher than the original price of Bright Holy Water.

But for this kind of magic medicine that has a price but no market, it is basically a luxury to buy it at a low price.

"The next item to be auctioned is an item excavated in a certain ruin by the Illuminati "Ymir" - a powerful wristband from the old era!

It has been identified that the wristband has the ability to permanently increase the physical strength of the user, and the increase rate is about 30.00%, which should be at the peak level of A-level today. "The auctioneer brought a simple wristband to the stage for everyone to have a general look at, and explained.

"Adornments that can directly increase physical strength... This is really powerful." After hearing the introduction, Assas was a little surprised, because most of the current weapons and equipment can only improve the ability for a period of time.

There are really not many auxiliary equipment that can permanently increase physical strength, and the corresponding technology has been lost in the old days, so this type of equipment is quite rare.

"Well, this bracer is really strong." Kate also agreed, "But it is a product of the old era... The first three lots in this auction are already in the millions, and there are two old-age heritages. Is the legacy of the old era so bad?"

"It's a bit weird." Assas raised his glass and said, "Originally, the fact that the Illuminati held an auction was enough to make people feel that it was a strange violation, but now they have brought out so many legacy from the old era, which has raised this sense of violation to another level."

"Another realm..." Kate curled her lips, knowing, "So you have long suspected that this auction has another purpose."

"Well, that's it." Assas took a sip of tea calmly, and said lightly, "I just heard some rumors. As for the specifics, I still have to continue to read, after all, only two old-age heritages can't explain What. It wouldn’t be a surprise if this was a gimmick the Illuminati used to stir things up.”

"But it seems that you don't plan to make a move. The legacy of the old era doesn't seem to be attractive to you at all."

Kate noticed that Assas didn't care. The boy seemed to disdain these old-age products and didn't even look at them.

"Huh? It's just that the things that appear now don't meet my needs. I'm a magician, not a warrior. Knight swords, wrist guards that increase physical strength, etc. are basically useless to me." Assas explained, however Kate always felt that he was being perfunctory.

"On the contrary, this should be what you need, right? How about it, do you want me to lend you some more money?" Assas asked Kate in reverse, showing that he was rich and generous.

"No need." This time Kate chose to refuse, "This kind of item is too precious, and it is a crime to conceive it. Even if you buy it, it will be hard to get rid of it."

"Is this superficial language?" After a series of incidents, Assas had a certain understanding of Kate, "Compared to knight swords, small objects such as wrist guards are obviously easier to hide."

Seeing that she was seen through, Kate responded helplessly: "This wristband can indeed increase me, but the increase is not large. And its price will obviously exceed 200 million, and the price/performance ratio is not high for me. All in all, it is not worth it."

"Oh, it makes sense." Although Assas was skeptical, he accepted the statement, "But speaking of weird things, there are really many strange things that happened recently..."

"A lot?" Kate wondered, "What exactly do you mean?"

Assas saw that she was really suspicious, and suddenly laughed: "Oh, yes. There are some things that you can't understand at your level. I'm talking about events on the entire continent. Recently, it has become a bit... How should I put it, I feel that the atmosphere is about to explode."

"Really?" Kate also knew that a commoner like herself would not be able to understand the new information about the Shenguang Continent, while noble sons like Asas and Royed had far more information channels than her.

Especially Asas from the intelligence family, he may even know some secrets that even the super powers cannot penetrate.

"I would like to hear more about it." Kate was a little interested in the so-called "strange things" that Assas said.

In fact, she felt that watching the auction below was too boring, and it would be more meaningful to get a cliché from Assas.

At this time, the auction of the old-era wristbands downstairs was already in full swing. It didn't take long for the price of the old-era wristbands to be raised to 210 million. It seemed that there was still a tendency for prices to continue to rise.However, this has nothing to do with the two people in the room, they have decided to stay out of it.

As for the "strange thing", Assas didn't mind telling the black-haired girl something. He had heard the rumors that Kate had a close relationship with the singer, and he thought that even if he didn't tell her about some things, she would know about them in the future.

Thinking of this, he said to Kate: "Think about it carefully, the occurrence of strange things in the mainland began with the disappearance of the head of the Obsidian School District."

"Yuhei School District...is that what was said in the student union yesterday?" Kate picked up the secret conversation in the student union room yesterday from her memory, and asked Assas for confirmation.

Assas said: "Yes, that's exactly what happened... Kirov said all the basic things, but he didn't make it very clear. But you will investigate these things in the future anyway, and I'm ahead of schedule now." Let me tell you."

"First of all, in many people's minds, Yaohei School District is the worst among the five school districts, and its overall strength is much lower than other school districts.

But their former chiefs were really powerful, and among all the chiefs of the school district, they were recognized as being second only to the pure white singer. "

Assas continued, "Although her martial arts cultivation seems to be only at the sixth level, her actual combat power is actually at the seventh level. It is said that she has even completed an S-level mission independently. If she does not disappear, she may be crowned a star after this battle! Tell me, is such a person powerful?"

"Very strong," Kate commented briefly.

To be able to display a seventh-level combat power with a sixth-level inferior position, and have a chance to win the title, the strength and potential of the original Yaohei chief is obviously extremely strong!

"Speaking of which, there is another interesting thing. The chief's name is different from yours. Have you ever heard of her? Her name is Kate Darkroy." Assas suddenly teased, but he didn't really take it seriously. thing.

After all, the name "Kate" is quite popular, and it is not surprising that there are repetitions.

And Kate herself thinks so, anyway, the surnames are different, so what else does the same name matter?

So she shook her head and said honestly, "I don't know her."

"Really, you haven't even heard of the famous killer den of the Dakru family?" Assas said deliberately exaggeratedly, but the strength of the Dakru family is actually only circulated in the records of the big families, and it is normal for ordinary people not to know.

Kate thought about it, and then suddenly said: "I have heard the words of the Dakru family."

The horrors of this ancient mysterious family organization were recorded in a few worn-out common sense books I read at the professor’s house. Kate thought that this kind of family should be suppressed and disappeared, but she didn’t want it to still exist.

"It's easy to hear, but I still want to remind you that the Dakru family is actually the core of the Yaohei school district."

Assas breathed a sigh of relief, and added, "This is a secret known to all the famous families on the mainland. It is considered half-public, so it's okay to tell you."

Kate was a little surprised at first, and then digested the news.

The Dakru family is ancient, but the Sky Academy is also ancient. It is not so strange that there is a connection between the two.

Assas continued: "The first strange thing is that in mid-October, shortly before the Star Wars, the original Obsidian chief Kate Dakru disappeared.

But Yaohei School District not only did not intend to find their original chief, but appointed a new chief one day later..."

He looked at Kate with a smile, and asked intentionally, "What do you think? Kate. Do you think this is strange?"

Section [-] Weird Things

"This...is really a bit strange." Kate thought for a while, and her face became weird, "No school district is willing to give up a chief student easily. What's more, this student is a potential title holder.

If our pure white diva-senpai disappears, it is impossible to introduce a new chief immediately, at least the position of chief will be reserved for her. "

"That's right, generally speaking, the chief is the face of a school district. If the face is lost, normal people will first try to get it back instead of simply changing the face.

But Yaohei School District did just that. It didn't even deliberately conduct a large-scale rescue operation, it just announced the new chief. "

Seeing that Kate quickly thought of an idea, Assas nodded slightly.

"The blame for this is that they gave up too quickly. Even if the star war is imminent, they are too eager. It seems that they have known for a long time that it is impossible for the original chief to return."

"Yeah." Kate said in a deep voice, "And Yaohei School District's actions seem to be showing some position! Obviously there is no need to do this, just make a superficial effort and delay the chief's announcement to cover it up, no one will find it awkward."

"Yes, this is also the weirdness." Assas guided Kate's thinking, and gradually told the black-haired girl the truth he had learned, "So under such sensitive circumstances, Obsidian still insisted on attending the Star Wars, with an ambiguous attitude, and always felt that he had another purpose."

Kate's intuition is also keen, and she frowned and said: "So, there are undercurrents surging in this star battle."

"There are other things that are as weird as this one." Assas said slowly, with a serious face. "Actually, there have been rumors in the Shenguang Continent recently that the era of stability is about to pass. Since the gods disappeared and the origin of the continent, people on the mainland have been accustomed to ease. In fact, this ease has lasted for nearly 5000 years. In this atmosphere of ease, many warriors and magicians have lost their original vigor. If there is a huge change at this time, I wonder if this era can support it."

"You mean to say that you are born in sorrow and die in peace?" Kate understands this situation very well, and she has been able to make continuous progress because of various miserable situations and a grand goal.

If she lost these, she might be like an ordinary knight, just serving Jessica and asking for nothing else.

"The meaning is similar." Assas nodded and said, "As far as I know, an organization is planning to destroy the world recently. They planned everywhere and won the support of many civil forces, and even some big families Participated in, wanting to change this comfortable and decadent era!"

"Why did they do this? Exterminating the world is not good for the big family, right?"

"There is no need for other benefits." Assas's vision is very wise, but at the same time he feels helpless. "Those people pin their hopes on the next era, thinking that only the new era has vitality and opportunities."

Kate heard this, thought for a while, and said solemnly: "It seems that there is no problem, the reality is indeed like this."

It is true that struggle can bring momentum and opportunity to accelerate the progress of the world.For now, effective changes can make the world a better and more progressive direction, Kate thinks so.

"Reform is necessary, but destroying the world is too exaggerated." Assas raised his hand and gestured, explaining, "And changes may also make the world worse."

"Well, forget it, those things have nothing to do with us, and we don't need to worry about them." Kate showed a nonchalant expression, and replied lazily and indifferently, "Those turmoil is the game of powerful people, and our strength can't get involved. Even if this auction is also a part of the undercurrent you mentioned, we are just spectators."

"That's right..." Assas smiled wryly.

Although he knew a lot, he also knew that he couldn't really participate in it.

After all, only those in power in one's own family can influence it. A half-assed heir like himself is at best only qualified to watch the battle.

"Our level is still not high enough."

With a sigh of emotion, he turned his gaze back to the auction floor below.

Section [-] Peerless Law

The auction continued. After the old-era wristbands were sold at a price of 360 million, the auctioneer successively brought out such coveted items as the God of Light, A-level blueprints, and old-time A-level magician clothes, which made Assas and Kate dazzled.

However, the price of the lot once reached millions or even tens of millions, which made a penniless person like Kate sigh in awe.
