Different from the black market auctions, the auctions held by the vampires did not consider keeping a low profile at all. Not only did they set the venue at the Moonlight Theater in the center of the city, they even compiled the items to be auctioned into booklets early and distributed them.

That booklet recorded most of the lots and low prices in this auction, undoubtedly telling those who participated to prepare their money.

There are also some special items that are not included in the manual, but are marked with a price, and each price is very amazing to show their preciousness.

Although the auction uses money as the trading object, some special items are marked as barter. Among these items, several require wizard healing potions as trading items, and the quantities are quite large.

The carriage was stopped by the police maintaining public order before it arrived at the auction. Most of these police were ordinary people, and only one or two were vampires. In addition, there were some people standing on the rooftops around the street. These people

They all held special steam crossbows and watched the crowds on the street vigilantly to prevent anyone from causing trouble.

When the carriage was stopped, Leo felt someone on the roofs on both sides pointing a steam engine crossbow at the carriage. As long as there was any movement on the carriage side, those people would definitely launch an attack immediately.

The tense atmosphere in front of us gave people the feeling that the disappearance of Dawson Quaifan and the big incident in the museum had completely annoyed the vampires, forcing them to raise the vigilance of the entire city to the highest level.

After Sylvia presented the invitation, the carriage was allowed to pass, and the threat that fell on the carriage disappeared.

"Doing this will only make people feel that they are not confident enough." Sylvia looked at the people on the roof through the curtains and said disdainfully: "If it were me, I would keep the streets calm.

At least it seems to be in a calm state, and then secretly makes those who do not obey the rules mysteriously disappear one by one. Only in this way can it have a shocking effect on those who want to stir up trouble."

Leo also nodded in agreement. He also felt that the current performance of the vampires seemed to be bluffing, and Leo felt that these actions of the vampires did not seem to be due to the disappearance of Dawson Quifan and the museum fire.

This incident is just an inducement. The current tight martial law in Moonlight City should be related to other things. Even the fact that Yasha County blocked the railway to prevent external steam trains from entering here, I am afraid it is also related to the current situation.

After Leo had an idea in his mind, he told it directly to Sylvia.

Hearing this, Sylvia was stunned, and suddenly she seemed to have thought of something, and whispered seriously: "Something may have happened to the Duke of the Blood Clan."

Leo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Sylvia's inference.

The vampire Duke Duncan Quifan is a very mysterious figure. His identity as a duke is not something he claims to be, but an official duke who has been canonized by the Kingdom of Maris.

His record first appeared more than 500 years ago during the Third Kingdom of Maris. At that time, as a free knight, he joined the command of Ika III, who was still a Duke at the time. He then went on to conquer various parts of the Kingdom of Maris, and finally assisted

Ika III ascended the throne and became the king of the Kingdom of Maris, and his merits also helped him obtain the title of earl, and the fiefdom happened to be enshrined in Crow Ridge in Asha County.

After that, he experienced military exploits in the war against the invasion of the Kingdom of Saville and the border dispute of Dalyat, and married the sister of Ika III at the time. He was eventually made a duke, and the fiefdom became Asha County.

However, after being made a duke, Duncan Quifan did not establish his own duchy and become a vassal state of the Kingdom of Maris like other dukes. Instead, he still allowed Asa County to remain within the Kingdom of Maris.

Since then, in the past five hundred years, no matter how turbulent the Kingdom of Maris was, Asha County has always maintained a relatively peaceful state, at least on the surface, and Duncan Quifan rarely appeared in front of people, usually only in the vampire clan.

Only during major events or some very important celebrations will they show their presence and reveal the information that they are still alive to the outside world.

However, this kind of performance also made many people think that the Duke did not actually exist or was dead. The Duke mentioned now was just an illusion deliberately created by the vampires, but no one dared to confirm this.

Because the Blood Duke's power is not something he brags about, but comes from his actual achievements. On the battlefield, he has faced the King of the Hill and the apostles of the Lord of Creation and Destruction more than once. Under the attack of the apostles, he not only

He only survived and even killed several apostles. This also led some people to speculate that the ancestor of the demigod of the Blood Tribe was actually the Blood Duke Duncan Quifan.

Because based on the power that the apostles get from the gods, the apostles should be about the same as demigods when they are at their strongest. Even some evil gods are far from being able to compare with the apostles of the king of the hill, the Lord of the birth and death of all things, but they are so powerful.

The apostle failed to take down the Blood Duke and was even killed. This is enough to show how powerful the Blood Duke is. Such a powerful force is very similar to the demigod ancestor of the Blood Tribe, and it is difficult not to make people suspicious.

"The Blood Duke has always been injured." Sylvia added: "It was left when he fought with the apostle of the Lord of the Creation and Destruction of All Things. He almost died at that time, but was later saved by the ancestors of the witch group.

This led to the contract signed between the witches and the vampires. Although the outside world said that his injury had already healed, he even went into the Weiwei Forest to eliminate a vampire who captured the vampire to prove that his injury was healed.

The Evil God Church offered sacrifices, but we witches know that his injuries have never healed."

At this time, the carriage suddenly vibrated, and then slowly stopped. Then the coachman jumped off the driver's seat, moved a small step, placed it at the door of the carriage, opened the door, and said to Leo and Sylvia: "

Sir, madam, the Chandni Grand Theater has arrived."

The Moonlight Grand Theater is located on Broken Scythe Hill, which is the highest place in the entire Moonlight City. Standing on the top of the clock tower of the Moonlight Grand Theater and looking around, you can see the entire Moonlight City.

Vampires have always been very fond of all kinds of art. It seems that there are artistic cells in the nature of Vampires. Even a butcher like Oga Quinine will create his own bloody art.

When the art form of drama appeared, the vampires' fanatical love for drama was undoubtedly revealed. They not only built the largest and most gorgeous theater in the world, they even funded various dramatists and created various works that had a profound impact on the world.

drama.

Someone once made statistics that nearly 80% of the world's dramas are produced in Asa County, and more than 70% of the premieres are held at the Chandni Grand Theatre. This has also made the Chandni Grand Theater a holy place for theater lovers around the world.

Many theater lovers believe that they have truly watched a drama only if they have watched a play at the Chandni Grand Theatre. Operators take the performance of their operas at the Chandni Grand Theater as their highest honor, usually on the day of Moonlight Festival.

Operators who perform at the Moonlight Grand Theater will be honored as Moon Crown Singers.

In this way, this building, regarded as a holy place by theater lovers, is closely protected by the military police. Everyone entering and leaving the Grand Theater must show an invitation letter. The atmosphere of the entire Moonlight Grand Theater seems extremely tense, and it makes ordinary citizens around it even more nervous.

Most of the people who entered the Moonlight Theater were wearing black cloaks and covering themselves tightly. It felt like they were doing something ulterior, which made people worry that something bad would happen.

things happen.

"We seem to be wearing the wrong clothes!" When Sylvia arrived in front of the Moonlight Theater and handed the invitation to the gendarmes guarding the theater, Leo looked at the people in cloaks and said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter!" Sylvia hugged Leo's arm affectionately and said, "We are normal people and we don't have to hide our heads and tails like them."

Sylvia's voice was not loud, but the people in cloaks around her could hear it clearly. Although they were all angry at Sylvia's words, they did not take action to teach Sylvia a lesson due to the vigilance of the surrounding military police.

Ya.

However, there are also some bold ones who don't worry so much and secretly attack Sylvia, hoping to make her look embarrassed.

However, what surprised them was that the abilities they used disappeared out of thin air after getting close to Sylvia, as if there was a monster that could devour everything next to Sylvia. This accident took over

This also made these people restrain themselves and did not take any further actions.

Leo and Sylvia climbed up the stairs and entered the Moonlight Theater from the main entrance. They handed the invitations in their hands to the attendants waiting at the door, and then the attendants led them to a specific location in the theater.

The waiter led the two people into a box on the second floor, and then briefly explained how to use the light in the box window and the button next to the seat to conduct an auction. He demonstrated it twice and said he had other instructions.

Then he pulled the rope on the wall, turned around and left.

"Why did you deliberately provoke those people's emotions?" After the waiter left, Leo turned to Sylvia and asked.

Sylvia did not answer immediately, but asked Leo: "What are the strengths of those people?"

Leo thought about the process of using the mental net to dispel the energy, and said: "It's very ordinary. Even you before can easily deal with them."

"Those cunning guys only dare to send some small fish and shrimps to show off." Sylvia said disdainfully.

Leo did not ask further questions, but waited for Sylvia to explain herself.

Then, Sylvia continued: "According to the news I received, among the special items in this auction, there are several items that are particularly important to the Church of the Evil God, so I want to try..."

"How can your method be effective?" Leo smiled, shook his head, and said, "Don't say what you just said was not a verbal humiliation. Even if you really insulted them, you even humiliated those evil people.

The believers' beliefs, they would not take any action in that situation."

As he spoke, he suddenly stopped for a moment, as if he thought of something, and turned to look at Sylvia thoughtfully.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with me?" Sylvia was made a little uncomfortable by Leo's gaze and couldn't help but ask.

Leo said meaningfully: "What you did just now was not actually for those cultists to see, but was done deliberately for other people to see. Am I right?"

"It's boring." Sylvia curled her lips and said: "The Church of the Hill King has mastered several cult leaders who are sworn enemies of the Church of the Hill King and entered Moonlight City. They want me to help them deal with these people. It's me.

As my last mission as a judge, I have no interest in doing those things, so I just plan to deal with it casually."

"Actually, I can help you..." Leo said in a deep voice.

Sylvia shook her head and declined Leo's kindness, and said: "No need! I know very well the rules of doing things for those people in the church. You have completed their task this time, and they will try to get you to do it next time, so I might as well start from the beginning.

Don’t give them any chance from the beginning.”

Leo didn't force this, he just said that if he needed to take action, he just needed to say something, and then he focused on the list of auction items in the private room.

Obviously, the invitation letter given by the vampires to the witches was a high-end invitation letter. Not only did it have a separate private room, but the list of auction items was also more detailed, at least thicker than the list Leo saw from Fat Robert.

More than three times.

In this directory, not only the current status of the auction items is recorded, but also the origin of the auction items is recorded in detail. However, those special auction items are still not placed in the directory. It seems that the vampire family wants to

Those few auction items were regarded as the grand finale to expand the influence.

Although Leo was curious about those special auction items, he was more interested in the box that could not be opened on the black market. This was also the main purpose of his visit, so he quickly turned the list to the page where the box was located.

.

However, what disappointed him was that there wasn't much more information about this box than what he had seen from Fat Robert before, and the extra parts didn't have much use. The only useful piece of information was the box.

The owner of the book, the wizard who arranged Turing roots on the black market, went to sea and disappeared. The last time he was seen was in the ice blade snowfield at the northernmost point of Dialiat. It seemed that the wizard was preparing to go deep into the snowfield and explore the northernmost part of the world.

Just like the southern end of the Moissan continent is an endless wasteland, the northern ends of the Minsk continent and the Velen continent are also endless ice fields.

There is endless ice and snow on this ice sheet, which does not melt all year round. Because of the impact of ice storms blowing on the ice sheet all year round, the surface of the ice sheet forms strange terrain like blades. From a distance, it looks like

It's like a skate hell.

Although ice fields and wastelands are regarded by the world as two places of death, they are essentially different.

Even though the depths of the wilderness are inaccessible, there are endless jungles there, and there are also a large number of animals living there. Even if everything living there, including a blade of grass, wants to eat the intruders, at least there is no lack of life.
