The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Chapter 1502: Books at sky-high prices

Leo's bidding made the whole auction quiet a lot. Everyone was stunned by such a high price. Many people looked at Leo curiously, wanting to see who was crazy. 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 had bought at the previous bids seemed random, and the asking price was not very high, which was completely different from the current performance. .

For a time, Leo became the focus of the meeting. Most people thought Leo’s offer was crazy, but some people recognized Delkan who was standing beside Leo as a well-known scholar in the academy and could stand with Delkan. The person in the book must also be a knowledgeable person. This kind of person is generally ideal and will not make any crazy actions, so they began to wonder whether the Hammer of Justice hides some mysterious knowledge that makes the scholars of the academy also interested to the extreme. , which makes the other party quote an outrageous price that others will not offer.

The golden clover is the currency with the highest value issued by the Kingdom of Teresa, and it is also one of the most circulating currencies in the mainland. All are not the national currency, but the golden clover.

Usually, the liquidity stored by a large chamber of commerce is at most 300 gold conkers, and a small country’s annual tax revenue is as high as the sky, and there are only less than 400 gold conkers. The sum of the funds is almost equivalent to 500 gold conkers, so the price that Leo set out is based on common sense, and no one can follow the bid.

"Your Excellency, you should know that we only accept cash, and it is paid in cash, not on credit, and payment cannot be delayed." The logistics officer of the Third Army Corps in charge of the auction, while shocked by the price, also looked at Lei suspiciously. O, reminded in a deep voice.

"This is a golden ticket of divine grace issued by the Bank of Fortune Church. The maximum limit is 500 gold clover." Leo did not speak, and Sylvia on the side took out an extremely exquisite metal sheet from his pocket. The card, showed it to everyone, and said.

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

You must know that the golden ticket of divine grace is not something that everyone can own. Only if you have enough wealth in the wealth bank, you can get this 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 golden ticket of divine grace, can you let me identify it first?" The logistics officer recovered from his shock and asked carefully.

"No need, I can guarantee that it is the golden ticket of divine grace created by my Lord's divine power." Before Sylvia agreed, the Bishop of Fortune Church, who also attended the auction not far away, stood up and said loudly.

Others may be able to admit the golden ticket of divine grace, but the bishop of Fortune Church will never admit it. In his eyes, this golden ticket is as eye-catching as a light in the dark night, and even more eye-catching is Sylvia's waist. There are at least two-digit numbers of gold tickets in the bag, which is enough for him to confirm that Leo and Sylvia are definitely big figures that the church attaches great importance to, and they have deposited astronomical wealth in the wealth bank, otherwise it would be impossible. It is possible to issue so many charismatic tickets.

Seeing the Bishop of Fortune Church stand up to guarantee the authenticity of the Divine Grace Gold Ticket, the logistics officer didn't say anything more, and brought everyone's attention back to the auction, and asked loudly if anyone else had increased the price.

At this moment, everyone is sure that the out-of-print book of the Hammer of Justice must hide an amazing secret they don't know, but even if they are curious about what the secret is, they have no way to follow up the bid, because five hundred gold seven The price of leaf grass is so outrageous that it has gone far beyond their psychological bottom line.

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

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes shifted from Leo to the other side. However, just like the way they looked at Leo, the person who added a gold clover also made them feel unfamiliar, so they could only reluctantly From the mark of the chamber of commerce on the other side, it was recognized that the chamber of commerce that this person was in should be a local chamber of commerce in a small surrounding 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 in the academy standing for them, even if everyone was unfamiliar with them, they would not question the wealth in their hands, but Now, this small local chamber of commerce in Teresa's dependent country has taken out five hundred gold clover to buy this out-of-print book, which is a bit wrong.

Because this kind of small chamber of commerce is based on common sense, let alone take out five hundred gold conkers at one time, even if the entire chamber of commerce buys all of them, it is not necessarily worth five hundred gold clovers, so when this At the moment when the representatives of the small chamber of commerce made their bids, everyone was sure of two things. One thing was that the small chamber of commerce might know the secret of the out-of-print book, Hammer of Justice, and the second thing was that the small chamber of commerce was not as it seemed on the surface. Simple as it seems.

The moment he followed up on the price, the representative of the small chamber of commerce knew that he must have been exposed, but he had to do it, because this book was so important to their organization that they thought it would take a long time to I was able to find this book, but what I didn't expect was that this book appeared so coincidentally. This is simply the gift of the Lord of their beliefs. If they don't take it down at this time, wait for this book to be brought to the school. The secrets of the city may be cracked by the people of Xuecheng. In that case, the planning they have organized for so many years will be over. This is something they can't bear no matter what.

However, it is obvious that the representatives of the small chamber of commerce have far underestimated the financial strength of Leo and Sylvia. The wealth accumulated by the underground organization of Cape Westview Port for a hundred years is comparable to the treasury of some big countries, and all these wealth are left in the into their couple's pockets.

This kind of free wealth naturally won't let them cherish like misers, so when the small merchant clenched his teeth and squeezed out a gold clover, Sylvia arbitrarily increased the price by a hundred gold Conkers.

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 may be able to put more money into it, but the problem is now The auction requires cash, and there is no time for them to allocate funds from other places, and even if they can allocate funds, the organization may 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.

As everyone expected, in the end the out-of-print book of the Hammer of Justice fell into Leo's hands. Although there were still a few items to be auctioned, everyone seemed to have lost interest and simply set a few prices and hastily. is over.

After the auction, many people wanted to get acquainted with Leo and Sylvia, to find out their identities, and by the way to see if they could find out the secret of the Hammer of Justice, but they were both lost by Leo and Sylvia. Via found a reason to reject it at random. The two of them took the book and went directly back to Xuecheng's exclusive apartment in the city with Delkan.

Seeing that they could not find out the secrets about the Hammer of Justice book from Leo and Sylvia, 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 station 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 church people were faintly aware that this small chamber of commerce might be related to some heretical organization, so they launched some investigations against this small chamber of commerce, trying to find out what was useful clue.

On the other hand, although Delkan, who returned to the Xuecheng apartment, was also curious about the secret of this Hammer of Justice, it was worth Leo taking out 600 gold clover, but he also knew that it was rude to ask rashly. And the wealth that Leo and Sylvia showed just now really frightened him, and he didn't know how to face 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, they went straight back to the residence arranged for them by the instructor of the city master.

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

At the same time as 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, then told the three of his findings, and emphasized that the target of the cultists who wanted to attack the Son of the Virgin on the road was probably the small business guild that followed the price. .

After listening to Sylvia, she thought for a while and said, "That is to say, the small chamber of commerce also has a similar book, and from the actions of the cultists of the Son of the Virgin and the people of the small chamber of commerce, it is obvious that It takes two books to unravel the mysteries in them."

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

Recently, Penny has become a true psionicist, and she has also learned some psionic skills, and her talent is extremely amazing, coupled with the use of psionic skills that is close to a master, she has been able to use psionic skills in a short period of time. She has mastered the skills that can only be used by first-level psionicists, and after learning new skills, she is like a child who got 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 pride. Although Leo didn't say anything, she felt very ashamed, so she hoped to get a new task from Leo as soon as possible, and she was ashamed.

However, this time she was about to be disappointed, only to see Leo shook his head and said: "It's too late, those people knew they were exposed, they should have been hiding for the first time, although I used the spiritual net to scan the whole city, We should be able to find them, but now is not a good time." He casually flipped the Hammer of Justice and said, "And we don't need to find those people at all, they will come to us on their own initiative, If that's the case, why should we waste our energy looking for them?"

After listening to Leo's words, Sylvia and the others also felt that it was justified, and they didn't take this matter to heart anymore, and each went about their own business.

Although Leo agreed with Sylvia's speculation and felt that it would take two books together to know the secrets, he didn't do anything, and he still used all the methods he could think of to decipher it. The mystery of this book, however, no matter what method is used, in the end the result of this book feedback to him is the same.

Although Leo was not able to find out the secret of the book, his various attempts at the book in the past two days could not be said to be in vain. He may have guessed the book or more correctly, the book. What two books might be.

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

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

Leo has come into contact with more than one madman's thirteen volumes of ancient **** knowledge. The special feeling derived from ancient **** knowledge is deeply imprinted in his memory. In the past two days, he has repeatedly tried to crack the law of justice with various methods. When hammering the mystery of this book, the special feeling about the knowledge of ancient gods appeared from time to time, which made him involuntarily produce a bold guess~lightnovelpub.net~ and guess this book based on feeling The Hammer of Justice is a different book of ancient **** knowledge. He judged that this book should be false and true. This ancient **** knowledge is the result of analysis, because in all the thirteen books of ancient **** knowledge he obtained and the madman The relevant information clearly pointed out a detail, that is, the ancient **** knowledge of false truth is composed of two books, one is the book of falsehood and the other is the book of truth, and only two books are put together. , the holder will be able to see the mysteries of the ancient gods recorded inside, otherwise, these two books will be hidden from time to time into two ordinary books.

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 work together, Leo still feels that his feeling should be correct, and now he just needs to wait Others approached him to collaborate with another book.

However, Leo was a little disappointed that until the exchange team in the academy set off again and headed to the academy city, the small chamber of commerce that held another book did not send anyone to contact him, or even to monitor him. , 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.
