The first is majestic and brutal.

The second is noble and beautiful.

The third is gloomy and sinking.

As soon as the three statues came out, the audience fell silent.

"I don't know if you have people who like history. If you don't understand it, it doesn't matter. I will tell you the story of the king in the past."

Old Hei began to explain: "Now the most powerful country in Valoran is Noxus, do you have any opinion? Noxus' Jagged Legion and Black Powder Force have almost finished capturing the western city-state. .I don't know if you have been to the imperial capital of Noxus. There is an immortal fortress there. It is the place where the Noxus emperor lived before. It is a huge fortress that is larger than the entire Bilgewater. If you If you can go to the Noxus Imperial Capital, you will definitely be shocked by its size at first sight."

Lothar raised his brows. Of course he knew about the immortal fortress of Noxus, and he probably guessed the identity of the first statue.

"But do you know? The Immortal Fortress was not made by Noxus, but existed before the founding of Noxus. It was built by a tyrant called [Iron Armor Wraith]." Lao Hei pointed to the first statue, "He is the [Iron Armor Wraith], the emperor who was killed in the legend but resurrected."

"Sure enough..." Lothar knew about [Wraith of Iron Armor], or in other words, no one in Noxus didn't know it. Even children knew the name of the ancient tyrant, and children often played him in the streets. play games.

"[Iron Armor Wraith] established a huge empire, but his tyranny was finally ended, by the Noxie tribe - the predecessor of the current Noxus, and the immortal fortress he built also became the possessions of Noxus."

Someone in the audience became impatient: "I didn't come here to listen to the story! Don't give a shit..."

"You can go out if you don't want to hear it, anyway, you shouldn't be able to buy the third-stage lot." Lao Hei said with a smile.

"Hey!" The man was annoyed, and he was about to make trouble as soon as he slapped the table.

boom!

A loud gunshot rang out.

Before the man could yell, his head exploded.

Everyone looked in horror at the place where the gun was fired. It was the [Pirate King] sitting in the VIP seat. He held the musket in his hand, and the muzzle was still smoking.

"Huh..." Planck blew the muzzle and scolded, "I'm the most annoying to disturb me when I listen to stories."

The audience was silent, and no one dared to make any comments on Planck's violent murder.

Nami's fins stood up, looking at this scene incomprehensibly: "How could he kill like this..."

Lothar looked at Planck thoughtfully: "It seems that the title of [Pirate King] is not false."

"Respected [Pirate King]." There was no surprised expression on Lao Hei's face. He gave Planck a salute, "I'm sorry, this auction still hopes to be held in a peaceful way."

"Hahaha, it's my fault!" Planck took back the musket, and although he apologized on his face, there was no apology on his face, "I just can't stand someone interrupting such a good atmosphere, you tell a good story. "

"Thank you for your compliment." Old Hei motioned for the waiters to drag the body down, and a few toad-like Vastayas dragged their tongues over and licked the blood on the ground, "I'm sorry everyone, a little episode, let me Let's move on, where did we just talk?"

Lao Hei thought about it: "By the way, [Iron Armor Wraith], he is the first king of this [Feast of Three Kings], let me introduce the second king, the [Ascension Queen] from Shurima. "

Syndra's eyes suddenly lit up, she suddenly stood up from the sofa, leaned against the guardrail and listened carefully.

Lothar looked at Syndra suspiciously: "What happened to her?"

"[Ascension Queen] is the ruler of the ancient Shurima Empire." Old Hei pointed to the second statue of a woman, "Although anyone who has been to Shurima should know that it is now a desert where birds don't shit. But the ancient Shurima was not as desolate as it is now. The Shurima Empire at that time was even more powerful than the Noxian Empire now. The secret is the [Ascendent], Shurima's strongest warrior, said to be powerful To be able to move mountains and reclaim the sea, like a god, and his lifespan is endless, he can hardly die except to be killed. [Ascension Queen] is the most powerful [Ascension]."

Lao Hei then pointed to the third statue, the tall and thin sword-wielding man: "The last king, [The Ruined King], his name and the name of his country are no longer known, but there is indeed such a legend in the legend. The existence of a king, who set the entire kingdom on fire in pursuit of the mystery of immortality, is a tragic king. The [Shadow Island] that everyone is familiar with is also caused by him."

When Lao Hei mentioned [Shadow Island], the atmosphere of the entire venue suddenly became solemn.

"Where is the Shadow Isle?" Lothar recalled the map Swain had drawn for him, which did not indicate this place.

Lothar looked at Miss Fortune, her face was not very good, she should know what Shadow Island means.

"Just ask her tonight." Lothar thought.

"[Iron Armor Wraith]! [Ascension Queen]! [The Ruined King]! These are the three ancient kings." Lao Hei bowed to the audience again, "Each of them is an existence above ten thousand people. , but each of them could not escape the fate of life and death. Although they were each looking for a way to fight against death, they all died without exception. But their exploration was not in vain. They did each master some knowledge about life and death. A huge secret, and the last stage of this auction [The Banquet of the Three Kings] will auction what these three kings held during their lifetimes! The key to the secret of immortality!"

There was an exclamation from the audience.

Old Hei looked excited and said loudly: "The auction methods for these last three lots are different! Because they are too expensive, we won't show what these three items are! And we don't accept the payment method of the Golden Kraken. Only in exchange for things! Our waiters will distribute paper stamps to everyone later! Please write down what you are willing to exchange on the paper! The most valuable thing in the audience will be exchanged for the three emperors Treasure! This is it! [Feast of the Three Kings]!"

————————————————————————————————————

The so-called emperor is a person who has everything, wealth, fame, spouse, and power.

But perhaps it was because the emperor had too many things, so the more successful the emperor was, the harder it would be for Kindred to take everything from them.

They will do whatever they can to resist death, whatever the price, whatever the ugly.

--Excerpt from Jericho Swain's "The Emperor"

Chapter three hundred and sixty-two (three in one chapter)

Drizzt glanced at every corner of the auction floor through the black veil.

"[The Banquet of the Three Kings]... such a big gimmick." Drizzt was very interested in the three treasures of the kings that the greedy market said, "Today is really the right time... Anyway, she only needs that kind of thing... If I go along the same way, it should be fine..."

Drizzt's hands started to itch, and a card danced between his slender fingers: "All the bigwigs in Bilgewater are present, and [The King of Pirates] is here, and they stole things from the market... ...it's really challenging... it's a pity..."

The gluttonous market works flawlessly. The three auctions in the final stage have not even been displayed. Even if Drizzt wants to steal it, he will not be able to start.

"But... maybe there is a way to try..." The cards in Drizzt's hand suddenly thickened, turning into a stack of cards, each exuding a secret magical halo.

Drizzt's magic is very weak, he never even considered himself a qualified mage, but he has his own "tricks", he has been relying on his "little cleverness" until today, and even deceived many self-proclaimed Extraordinary powerful mage.

So even though the Vastaya fox girl was very strong, much stronger than Drizzt, she had to entrust Drizzt to help her get what she wanted.

"Then, it's time to start working." Drizzt quickly cut and shuffled the cards. The magic power in the deck was extremely weak. Coupled with Drizzt's own control, even Vastaya, who was extremely sensitive to magic, could There was absolutely no sense Drizzt was using magic.

No one noticed, under the cover of the black gauze curtain, Drizzt had disappeared into the VIP room.

...

"Do not show all three things, and auction them in the form of barter..." Lothar couldn't understand why the gluttonous market did this, so she could only ask Miss Fortune, "Do you have any explanation?"

"I don't know..." Miss Fortune also frowned, "The treasures of the three kings... The secret leading to immortality sounds ridiculous, but after all, it is an auction in the gluttonous market, which makes me a little believe. already."

Lothar observed the audience. After Lao Hei said the rules of the [Feast of the Three Kings], the atmosphere in the venue became much more dignified. Lothar heard that the big figures in the other VIP seats were already whispering what to use in exchange. .

"This is a gamble," said Rosa. "Everyone can only write what they want to exchange once. If the value of what they write is lower than that of others, they will lose."

"Well, people who really want these three things will definitely exchange them for extremely valuable things." Miss Fortune looked at the [Pirate King] opposite, Planck's expression was relaxed, and it seemed that he was determined to win these three things. .

Miss Fortune moved.

Planck has almost mastered the entire Bilgewater, and there are few things he particularly wants. Even if there are, he can **** it over with his own power, and no one dares to stop him, and no one dares to argue with him.

But things in the gluttonous market are different. Here, even Planck must follow the rules of the gluttonous market.

In other words, Miss Fortune also has the right to compete with him.

A catfish waiter knocked on the door of the VIP room. He walked in and saw Lothar and other five people. He politely said, "Is there anyone who wants to participate in the auction?"

Miss Fortune glanced at Plank, [Pirate King] did not use his mighty power to prevent others from participating in the auction, and it seemed that he thought it was impossible to lose what he exchanged.

"Tell me about the rules." Miss Fortune said.

"Okay lady." The catfish waiter took out three cards of different colors from his sleeve, "The black paper is used to bid for the treasure of [Iron Armor Wraith], the golden paper is used to bid for the treasure of [Ascension Queen], the cyan The paper used to bid for the treasures of [The Ruined King]. Of course, you can also choose to bid for multiple treasures, just write the detailed information of the things you want to exchange on it, the better, and then write your name. Can."

"The name won't be made public, will it?"

"Please rest assured, the gluttonous market will strictly guard the privacy of bidders, and no matter who gets it in the end, it will not leak the news."

Miss Fortune hesitated: "Give me a piece of black paper."

Da Ya unexpectedly grabbed Miss Fortune's arm: "Captain, do we want to participate?"

"Well, it's just a try, and I don't have much hope." Miss Fortune took the black paper and wrote it from an angle that no one could see.

"Mr. Lothar, are you not participating?" Namei asked curiously, "It seems very interesting."

"No, I have nothing to exchange for." Lothar was telling the truth, he could never exchange his pure white hunting bow. For him, the pure white hunting bow was more precious than any treasure. .

Syndra suddenly embraced Lothar's arm.

Lothar turned to look at her: "What's the matter? You're a little weird"

"I want it." Syndra's voice was very firm.

"What do you want?"

"The treasure of [Ascension Queen], I want it."

Lothar was taken aback: "[Ascension Queen] is the emperor of ancient Shurima, why are you suddenly interested in this?"

"I don't care, I want it." Syndra hugged Lothar tightly, her fingers almost strangling him, "You think of a way, I must get it!"

"But we don't have anything to change..."

"I must get it!"

Lothar was a little surprised. Although Syndra had a bad temper, it was the first time that she showed a strong obsession with something. In the past, no matter what she wanted Lothar to coax a few words from, she could still handle it, but now , Syndra seems to have to.

Lothar looked at Syndra embarrassedly: "But we really have nothing to exchange for."

Syndra lightly kicked Nami: "Exchange with your staff."

"Hey! No... No!" Nami hugged herself tightly, "The Tidecaller's Staff is the treasure of my clan! It can't be exchanged! I've given you the Deep Sea Pearl to Miss Syndra!"

"Also..." Syndra pressed her head in distress.

"How about you exchange it for deep-sea pearls?" Lothar suggested.

"No, that thing is still useful to me." Syndra thought for a long time, and finally couldn't think of a way. She could only hug Lothar tightly and said in a pitiful tone that Lothar had never heard so far. "Lothar...you think of a way..."

Lothar sighed: "Well, I'll think of a way, that's no guarantee of success."

"If it doesn't work, I'll go grab it!" Syndra's eyes flashed fiercely. "No matter how greedy he is in the market, he has to hand it over to me! If he dares not, I will kill them all!"

Syndra stared at the old black off the field, and the old black shivered for no reason.

Lothar is ashamed, Syndra would definitely do such a thing.

"Give me a piece of golden paper." Lothar greeted the catfish waiter.

"Mr. Lothar, do you really have something to exchange?" Nami asked in confusion, "Didn't you just say you didn't have it?"

"After all, Syndra wants... I can only try to see if it works." Lothar picked up the pen and wrote something on the paper.

Both Lothar and Miss Fortune folded the paper and handed it to the catfish waiter. The waiter swallowed the two pieces of paper in one bite and smiled politely at the two of them: "Please rest assured, we are greedy for the stomachs of market employees. It is the best safe in the world, the content written by the two will never be leaked, and no matter what the auction result is, these papers will be destroyed as soon as possible."

Seeing the Catfish waiter leave, Miss Fortune glanced at Lothar: "Why did you also participate?"

"Aren't you also participating?" Lothar looked down. After the third stage of the auction, Lao Hei was bowing to thank all those who participated, and reminding everyone that this auction has ended, and the final results will be in A few days later, I informed the successful bidder that they can leave the venue now. "Will you go to your Siren tonight? The information I want is ready."

"Well, come early, we still have a lot of things to talk about." Miss Fortune dropped these words and left with Da Ya first.

Lothar looked at Syndra: "You don't like Bilgewater's environment, go back with Nami first, I still have things to do tonight."

Syndra said suspiciously: "Where are you going? Wouldn't it be to see that woman?"

Lothar was sweating a little bit. Syndra usually looks slow, but in some ways, she is frighteningly sensitive: "No, I'm going to do business, trust me."

"Oh...then I'll go back first..."

"Well, Nami, take care of Syndra."

"No problem, Mr. Lothar."

Lothar looked at the backs of Syndra and Nami leaving, feeling a little irritable.

He liked Syndra a lot, and although she had a bad temper, she was sincere to Lothar.

What Lothar is worried about now is whether she can accept her beloved wife in the Freljord, and...whether his beloved wife can accept Syndra...

"Hey... let's take one step at a time..." Lothar knew that he would face that day sooner or later, so he could only think of a way to deal with the matter in front of him, "There is still good news, in a few days, he will be able to talk to Olaf. The stupid big man has reunited, and the pure white hunting bow is coming back, with their help, it should be a lot easier in the future."

Lothar walked to the chamber of commerce and found a few greedy market people running around in a panic.

"What's wrong?" Lothar stopped a Toad Vastaya.

"Gaw!" Toad Vastaya was startled and said incoherently, "Stolen! Gah! Statue! Statue of the Three Kings! Gah! Thief! Thief!"

"The statue of the Three Kings was stolen?" Lothar shook his head, "I thought it was a big deal, isn't it the statue?"

"Guest, you don't understand! Huh! That's art! Artifact quack!" Toad Vastaya hurriedly ran away, leaving behind a confused Lothar.

"Forget it, it's none of my business anyway." Lothar walked out of the chamber of commerce and walked towards Miss Fortune's private port.

...

Drizzt stood in a trash building and looked at the three statues in front of him with satisfaction: "I'm so good, I stole them all out of nowhere."

Drizzt looked at the fox girl beside him and said with a smile, "Beautiful lady, do you see how well my work is done? There is no bump or damage, and no trace has been found by anyone, and these three statues are so heavy. Carrying them almost exhausted me to death, you don't consider giving me more money"

Ahri stared at the three statues in front of him intently and did not reply.

"Uh... my reward, miss"
