The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo's bidding made the entire auction quiet a lot. Everyone was shocked by such a high price. Many people looked at Leo curiously, wanting to see who went crazy. Ask such an outrageous price.

Delkan, who was standing next to Leo, was also very surprised. He could see that Leo didn't care much about this auction. The books he quoted before seemed random, and the asking price was not very high, which was completely different from his current performance. .

For a while, Leo became the focus of the meeting. Most of them thought that Leo's offer was crazy, but some people recognized that Delkan standing next to Leo was a well-known scholar in the academy and could stand with Delkan The people in the book must also be knowledgeable people. This kind of people is generally very ideal, and they will not make any crazy moves, so they began to wonder if there was any mysterious knowledge hidden in the Hammer of Justice that made the scholars of the Academy City extremely interested. , which made the other party quote an outrageous price that no one else would offer.

Gold esculus is the currency with the highest value issued by the Kingdom of Teresa, and it is also one of the most circulated currencies in the mainland. Its high value and stable currency value directly lead to the hoarding of currency in the treasury of some small countries. It is not the currency of the country, but the gold clover.

Usually, the working capital stored by a large chamber of commerce is at most 300 gold seven-leaf clover, and the annual tax revenue of a small country is only less than 400 gold seven-leaf clover. The sum of all the funds is almost equivalent to 500 gold seven-leaf clover, so according to common sense, no one can follow the price offered by Leo.

"Your Excellency, you should know that we only accept cash, and pay in cash, no credit, and payment cannot be postponed." The third army logistics officer in charge of the auction was shocked by the price, and looked at Lei suspiciously. Oh, reminded in a deep voice.

"This is the God's Grace Gold Ticket issued by the Fortune Church Bank. The maximum limit is 500 gold seven-leaf clover." Leo didn't say anything, and Sylvia took out an extremely exquisite metal ticket from his pocket. The card, showing it to everyone, said.

After seeing the golden ticket, everyone was stunned, and couldn't help guessing the identities of Leo and Sylvia.

You must know that not everyone can own the golden ticket of God’s grace. Only by depositing enough wealth in the wealth bank can you get this kind of golden ticket. As for how much wealth you need to save, there is no fixed number. That's definitely a staggering number.

"I haven't seen the God's Grace Gold Ticket, can I have a first appraisal?" The logistics officer recovered from the shock, and asked cautiously.

"No need, I can assure you that it is a golden ticket made by my lord's divine power." Without waiting for Sylvia's consent, the bishop of the Fortune Church who also came to the auction not far away stood up and said loudly.

Others may be able to recognize the God's Grace Golden Ticket, but the bishop of the Fortune Church will never admit it wrong. In his eyes, this golden ticket is as eye-catching as a light in the dark night. What is more eye-catching is Sylvia's waist. There are at least two digits of God's favor gold tickets in the shoulder bag, which is enough for him to confirm that Leo and Sylvia are definitely important people of the church, and they have deposited sky-high wealth in the wealth bank. It is possible to issue so many divine grace tickets.

Seeing that the bishop of the Fortune Church stood up to guarantee the authenticity of the God's Grace Gold Ticket, the logistics officer didn't say anything more, and brought everyone's attention back to the auction, asking loudly whether there was any increase in the price.

At this moment, everyone was sure that the out-of-print Hammer of Justice must have hidden an astonishing secret they didn't know, but even if they were curious about what the secret was, they couldn't follow up on the asking price, because the five hundred gold seven The price of Leaf Grass is too outrageous, far beyond their psychological bottom line.

Just when everyone thought that the Hammer of Justice would belong to Leo, someone suddenly followed up the price loudly and said, "Five hundred and one gold clover."

At this moment, everyone's eyes shifted from Leo to the other side in an instant, but just like they looked at Leo just now, the person who raised the price of a gold seven-leaf clover also made them feel strange, and they could only reluctantly From the mark of the chamber of commerce on the other party's body, he recognized that the chamber of commerce this person belonged to should be a local chamber of commerce in a small neighboring country, and Delkan also recognized that this small chamber of commerce was one of the caravans that communicated with them this time.

At this moment, everyone felt that something was wrong. Because Leo and Sylvia had well-known scholars from the Academy City standing on their side, even if everyone was unfamiliar with them, they would not question the wealth in their hands, but Now, the local small chamber of commerce in Teresa's dependent country took out 500 gold horse chestnuts to buy this out-of-print book, which is a bit strange.

Because according to common sense, this kind of small chamber of commerce, let alone take out 500 gold seven-leaf clover at one time, even if the entire chamber of commerce buys them all, it is not certain whether it is worth 500 gold seven-leaf clover, so when this At the moment when the representative of the small chamber of commerce shouted the price, everyone was sure of two things. One thing was that this small chamber of commerce might know the secret of the out-of-print book Hammer of Justice, and the second thing was that this small chamber of commerce was not as It's as simple as it looks.

At the moment of following up on the price, the representative of the small chamber of commerce knew that he must have been exposed, but he had to do so because this book was so important to their organization, they thought it would take a long time I was able to find this book, but what I didn't expect was that this book came out by such a coincidence. This is simply a gift from the Lord of their faith. If you don't take it down at this time, when this book is brought to the school City, maybe the people from Xuecheng will crack the mystery. In that case, the planning they have organized for so many years will be over, which they cannot bear anyway.

However, it is obvious that the representatives of the small chamber of commerce have far underestimated the financial resources of Leo and Sylvia. The century-old wealth accumulated by the underground organization in Cape West Harbor is comparable to the treasury of some big countries, and all of this wealth has fallen into the into the pockets of the couple.

Naturally, this kind of free wealth will not make them cherish it like a miser, so when the small businessman gritted his teeth and squeezed out a gold seven-leaf clover, Sylvia randomly increased the price by a hundred gold pieces. Horse chestnut.

The sky-high price of 600 gold clover made everyone present silent, and even the representative of the small chamber of commerce fell into despair. The organization behind him might be able to spend more money, but the problem is now The auctions in China need cash, and there is no time for them to transfer funds from other places, and even if they can transfer funds, the organization probably will not do so, because taking out such a huge amount of funds at one time will inevitably affect the normal operation of the organization. operate.

Just as everyone expected, the out-of-print Hammer of Justice book finally fell into Leo's hands. Although there were still a few items to be auctioned, everyone seemed to lose interest. It's over.

After the auction, many people wanted to get to know Leo and Sylvia, find out their identities, and see if they could find out the secret of the Hammer of Justice, but they were all rejected by Leo and Sylvia. Via found a random reason and refused, and the two of them took the books, and together with Delkan, they went directly back to the exclusive apartment in the city of Xuecheng.

Seeing that Leo and Sylvia couldn't find out the secrets about the Hammer of Justice book, those curious people immediately turned their attention to the representative of the small chamber of commerce who followed the price, but they couldn't find anyone at the moment. Even after going to the resident of the small chamber of commerce caravan, I found that the management of the caravan had left, leaving only some temporarily hired workers.

This made those curious people feel that something was wrong, especially the people in the church who were faintly aware that this small chamber of commerce might be related to some heretical organizations, so they launched some investigations on this small chamber of commerce, trying to find out what was useful clue.

On the other hand, Delkan, who returned to the Xuecheng apartment, was also very curious about the secret of the Hammer of Justice, which was worth Leo's six hundred gold clover, but he also knew that it would be rude to ask hastily. Moreover, the wealth that Leo and Sylvia showed just now really frightened him, and he didn't know how to face the two of them for a while, so after returning to the apartment, he hurriedly separated from Leo and the others.

Leo and Sylvia didn't think too much about it either, they went straight back to the residence arranged for them by the mentor of the school master.

"What's the secret of this book that is worth your money to buy it?" Sylvia, who was also full of curiosity, took off her somewhat restrained jacket and handed it to Petunia, asking impatiently.

When this question was asked, Penny and Joan also looked at Leo curiously.

Leo took out the Hammer of Justice and put it on the table, and then told the three of his findings, emphatically mentioning that the target of the Son of the Virgin cultists on the road is likely to be the small chamber of commerce .

After hearing this, Sylvia thought for a while and said, "That means that the small chamber of commerce also has a similar book in its hands, and judging from the actions of the cultists and the members of the small chamber of commerce, it is obvious that It takes two books to unravel the mysteries inside."

"Teacher, are we going to get that book?" Petunia asked eagerly.

Recently, Penny has become a real psychic user and has also learned some psychic skills, and her talent is extremely amazing, coupled with the way she is almost a master of psychic skills, she has been able to use psychic skills in a short period of time. She is proficient in using these skills that can only be used by first-level psychic users, and she who has learned new skills is like a child who has a new toy, and she can't wait to use it in actual combat.

In the building of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, she made a mistake because of her complacency. Although Leo didn't say anything, she felt ashamed, so she hoped to get a new mission from Leo as soon as possible to avenge the shame.

However, this time she was going to be disappointed, and Leo shook her head and said, "It's too late, those people knew that they were exposed, and they should have been hiding for the first time, even though I scanned the whole city with the spirit net, We should be able to find them, but now is not a good time," he said, flipping the Hammer of Justice casually, and said: "And we don't need to find those people at all, those people will come to us on their own initiative, So why should we waste our energy looking for them?"

After hearing what Leo said, Sylvia and the others also felt that it made sense, and they didn't take this matter to heart any more, and went about their own affairs.

Although Leo agrees with Sylvia's conjecture and feels that the two books need to be combined to know the secrets, he does not do nothing. He still uses every method he can think of to solve the mystery. The mystery of this book, but no matter what method is used, the result of this book will be the same in the end.

Although Leo was not able to find out the secret of this book, it cannot be said that his various attempts on the book in the past two days have yielded nothing. He may have deduced this book, or more correctly, this book What two books could be.

"False truth? Is it the false truth in the madman's thirteen volumes of ancient god knowledge?" Sylvia was also a little surprised after hearing Leo's answer, but soon she fell into deep thought again. After a while, I asked with doubts, "Is it just a feeling?"

"Yes, it's just a feeling." Leo nodded.

Leo has already come into contact with more than thirteen volumes of madman's knowledge of ancient gods. The special feeling derived from knowledge of ancient gods is deeply imprinted in his memory. In the past two days, he has repeatedly tried to decipher the truth of justice with various methods. When hammering out the mysteries of this book, the special feeling about the knowledge of ancient gods popped up from time to time, which made him involuntarily produce a bold guess.

It is different from guessing that the Hammer of Justice is a book of ancient god knowledge based on feeling alone. He judges that this book should be false and true. This book of ancient god knowledge is the result of analysis, because after all the knowledge he obtained The materials related to the madman's thirteen volumes of ancient god knowledge clearly pointed out a detail, that is, false and true. This ancient god knowledge is composed of two books, one is the book of falsehood, and the other is the book of truth However, only when the two books are put together can the holder be able to see the mysteries of the ancient gods recorded inside, otherwise, the two books will become two ordinary books and hide them from time to time.

Although it is a bit arbitrary to judge that this book is one of the two books that are false and true only based on the fact that the two books can be effective when put together, Leo still feels that his feelings should not be wrong, and now he just needs to wait. Others came to him with another book to collaborate.

However, what made Leo feel a little disappointed was that until the exchange team of the Academy City set off again and went to the Academy City, the small chamber of commerce with another book didn't send anyone to contact him, or even send someone to monitor him , it makes people feel that the organization behind this small chamber of commerce doesn't seem to care about the mysteries of these two books, which also makes Leo wonder if his judgment is wrong.
