Chapter 1502 Sky-high purchase of books
Leo's bidding made the entire auction quiet. Everyone was stunned by such a high bid. 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 quoted to buy before seemed casual, and the asking price was not very high. It was completely different from his current performance.
.
For a time, Leo became the focus of the meeting. Most people thought that Leo's offer was crazy, but some people recognized that Delkan standing next to Leo was a well-known scholar in the city and could stand with Delkan.
People must also be knowledgeable people. This kind of people are generally ideal and will not do anything crazy, so they began to wonder whether the Hammer of Justice contains some mysterious knowledge that even the scholars of the city are extremely interested in.
, which made the other party quote an outrageous price that others would not offer.
The Golden Seven-leaf Clover is the highest value currency issued by the Kingdom of Teresa, and is also one of the most circulated currencies in the mainland. Its high value and stability of the currency value have directly led to the hoarding of currencies in the treasury of some small countries.
They are not the currency of the country, but the golden seven-leaf clover.
Usually, the maximum amount of working capital stored by large chambers of commerce is 300 gold seven-leaf clovers. A small country with a year's tax revenue can only have less than 400 gold seven-leaf clovers. People who come here to participate in the auction carry the same amount of gold seven-leaf clovers.
All the funds added up are almost equivalent to 500 golden seven-leaf clovers, 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 we pay in cash. We do not accept credit, and we cannot delay payment." The logistics officer of the Third Army in charge of the auction was shocked by the price, but also looked at Lei with suspicion.
Oh, reminded him in a deep voice.
"This is a golden ticket of divine grace issued by the Bank of Fortune Church. The maximum limit is five hundred golden seven-leaf clovers." Leo did not speak. Sylvia on the side took out an extremely fine metal ticket from her pocket.
He showed the card to everyone and said.
After everyone saw the golden ticket, they were all stunned and couldn't help but guess the identities of Leo and Sylvia.
You must know that not everyone can own the Golden Ticket of Divine 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. The only thing that can be determined is
That's definitely an astonishing number.
"I have never seen the Divine Grace Golden Ticket. Can you let me identify it first?" The logistics officer recovered from the shock and asked carefully.
"No need, I can guarantee that it is a golden ticket of divine grace created by the divine power of our Lord." Before Sylvia could agree, the Bishop of the Church of Fortune, who was also attending the auction not far away, stood up and said loudly.
Others may be able to admit that the golden ticket of divine grace is wrong, but the bishop of the Church of Fortune will never admit it. In his eyes, this golden ticket is as eye-catching as a light in the dark night. What is even more eye-catching is Sylvia’s waist.
There were at least two digits of divine grace tickets in his bag, which was enough for him to confirm that Leo and Sylvia were definitely important figures that the church valued very much, and that they had deposited astronomical amounts of wealth in the Wealth Bank. Otherwise, it would not have been possible.
It is possible to issue so many golden tickets of divine favor.
Seeing that the Bishop of Fortune Church stood up to guarantee the authenticity of the Divine Grace Ticket, the logistics officer did not say anything more and drew everyone's attention back to the auction, loudly asking if anyone would increase the price.
At this moment, everyone was certain that the out-of-print book Hammer of Justice must contain an astonishing secret that they didn't know. However, even if they were curious about what the secret was, they had no way to follow up on the bidding, because five hundred gold coins were worth seven.
The price of leaf grass is really outrageous and has far exceeded their psychological bottom line.
Just when everyone thought that the Hammer of Justice would definitely belong to Leo, someone suddenly loudly followed up on the price and said: "Five hundred and one golden seven-leaf clovers."
At this moment, everyone's eyes instantly shifted from Leo to the other side. However, just like the way they looked at Leo just now, this person who increased the price of a golden seven-leaf clover also made them feel strange. They could only reluctantly
From the mark of the chamber of commerce on the other person's body, he recognized that the chamber of commerce that this person belonged to should be a local chamber of commerce in a nearby small country, and Delkan also recognized that this small chamber of commerce was one of the caravans that passed through the exchange team with them this time.
At this moment, everyone felt something was wrong. Leo and Sylvia had well-known scholars from the city standing by to support them, so even if everyone was unfamiliar with them, they would not question the wealth in their hands. However,
Now, the local small chamber of commerce in Teresa's subordinate country has spent 500 gold seven-leaf clovers to buy this out-of-print book. This is something wrong.
Because according to common sense, this kind of small chamber of commerce, let alone taking out five hundred gold seven-leaf clovers at once, even if the entire chamber of commerce buys them all, it is not necessarily worth five hundred gold seven-leaf clovers, so when this
The moment the representative of the small chamber of commerce made a bid, everyone was certain of two things. One 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 appeared on the surface.
It looks so simple.
The moment he followed up on the price, the representative of the small chamber of commerce already knew that he must have been exposed, but he had to do so because the book was so important to their organization. Originally, they thought it would take a long time.
I was able to find this book, but I didn’t expect that this book would appear so coincidentally.
It is simply a gift from the Lord of their faith. If it is not taken down at this time, when the book is brought to the school city, the secrets may be deciphered by the people in the school city. In that case
, the planning they have organized for so many years is completely over, which is something they cannot bear no matter what.
However, it is obvious that the representatives of the small chamber of commerce have far underestimated the financial resources of Leo and Sylvia. The wealth accumulated by the underground organization in the Port of Cape Opia for a hundred years is comparable to the treasury of some big countries, and all of this wealth has fallen into
into the couple's pockets.
Naturally, they would not cherish this kind of free wealth like misers, so when the small merchant gritted his teeth and squeezed out a golden seven-leaf clover, Sylvia casually increased the price by a hundred gold.
Seven-leaf clover.
The sky-high price of six hundred golden seven-leaf clovers silenced everyone present. Even the representative of the small chamber of commerce fell into despair. The organization behind him might be able to invest more money, 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 once will inevitably affect the normal operation of the organization.
Operation.
Just as everyone expected, the out-of-print book Hammer of Justice finally fell into Leo's hands. Although there were still several items to be auctioned, everyone seemed to have lost interest and simply opened a few prices and hastily
'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 randomly found a reason to refuse. The two of them took the books and went directly back to the Academy's exclusive apartment in the city with Delkan.
Seeing that they could not find out the secrets about the book Hammer of Justice from Leo and Sylvia, those curious people immediately turned their attention to the representative of the small chamber of commerce who was following the price, but they could no longer find him at the moment.
Even after going to the location of the small chamber of commerce caravan, I found that the management of the caravan had left, leaving only some temporary workers.
This made those curious people feel that something was wrong, especially the church people who were vaguely aware that this small chamber of commerce might be related to some heretical organizations, so they launched some investigations into this small chamber of commerce, trying to find out what was useful.
clue.
On the other side, Delkan, who returned to the apartment in the school city, was also curious about the secrets of the Hammer of Justice, which was worthy of Leo's 600 golden seven-leaf clovers, but he also knew that it was rude to ask rashly.
Moreover, the wealth that Leo and Sylvia showed just now really scared him, and he didn't know how to face them for a while, so when he returned to the apartment, he hurriedly separated from Leo and the others.
Leo and Sylvia didn't think too much. They went directly back to the residence arranged for them by the main instructor of the school city.
"What secret does this book hold that makes it worth spending so much money to buy it?" Sylvia, who was also curious, took off her somewhat restrictive coat and handed it to Penny, asking eagerly.
When this question was asked, both Penny and Joan looked at Leo curiously.
Leo took out the Hammer of Justice and put it on the table, and then told the three people what he had discovered. He also emphasized that the targets that the Sons of the Virgin cultists on the road wanted to attack were probably the small chamber of commerce that was following the price.
.
After hearing this, Sylvia thought for a while and said: "That is to say, that small chamber of commerce also has a similar book in hand, and judging from the various actions of the cultists of the Son of the Virgin and the people of that small chamber of commerce, it is obvious that
It takes two books to unlock the mystery inside."
"Teacher, are we going to get that book?" Penny asked eagerly.
Recently, Penny has become a full-fledged psyker and has also learned some psionic skills. Her talent is extremely amazing, and her ability to use psionic skills that is almost a master has enabled her to be able to
She is proficient in using these skills that can only be used by first-level psykers, and after learning new skills, she is like a child who gets a new toy, and she can't wait to use it in actual combat.
In the building of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, she got carried away and made a mistake. Although Leo didn't say anything, she felt very embarrassed, so she hoped to get a new task from Leo as soon as possible to avenge her previous shame.
However, this time she was going to be disappointed. Leo shook his head and said, "It's too late. Those people should have gone into hiding as soon as they knew they were exposed. Although I used my mental network to scan the whole city,
We should be able to find them, but now is not a good time." As he spoke, he flipped through the Hammer of Justice at random and said, "And we don't need to look for those people at all, those people will come to us on their own initiative.
In this case, why should we waste our energy looking for them?"
After listening to Leo's words, Sylvia and the others also felt that it made sense, so they no longer took the matter to heart and went about their own business.
Although Leo agreed with Sylvia's speculation and felt that two books were needed to know the secret, he did not do nothing. He still used every method he could think of to decipher this secret.
The mystery of this book, however, no matter what method he uses, the final result fed back to him by this book is the same.
Although Leo was not able to find out the secret of this book, his various attempts on the book in the past two days cannot be said to be fruitless. He may have guessed about this book or, more accurately, it is this
What two books might be.
"False truth? Is it the false truth in Madman's Thirteen Books of Ancient God's Knowledge?" Sylvia was also a little surprised after hearing Leo's answer, but soon she fell into deep thought again.
After a while, he asked with doubt: "Is it just a feeling?"
"Yes, it's just a feeling." Leo nodded.
Leo has been exposed to more than one book of Madman's Thirteen Volumes of Ancient God's Knowledge. The special feeling derived from the Ancient God's knowledge is deeply imprinted in his memory. In the past two days, he has repeatedly tried to decipher the Law of Justice using various methods.
While hammering out the mystery of this book, that special feeling about the knowledge of the ancient gods emerged from time to time, causing him to involuntarily make a bold guess.
Different from just guessing that the Hammer of Justice is a piece of ancient god knowledge based on his feelings, he judged that this book should be false and true. This ancient god knowledge was the result of analysis, because after all the information he obtained,
The information related to Madman’s Thirteen Volumes of Ancient God Knowledge clearly points out one detail:
That is false and true. This ancient god's knowledge is composed of two books. One is a false book and the other is a true book. Only when the two books are put together can the holder see the ancient knowledge recorded in them.
God's mystery, otherwise, these two books would turn into 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 false and true books based on the fact that the two books can have an effect when put together, Leo still feels that his feeling should be correct, and now he just needs to wait.
Others came to him with another book for cooperation.
However, what made Leo feel a little disappointed was that until the exchange team in the academic city set off again to the academic city, the small chamber of commerce that held another book did not send anyone to contact him proactively, or even send anyone to monitor him.
Chapter completed!
