George, who did not realize that he had been regarded as a thorn in the side of James, the God of War, after getting rid of the tracking of various spies and eye spies, came to the most famous underground auction house in Fortress Juarez, which was also the primary destination of George's trip.
"Go back to Alanon, pass through the City of Juarez, and go to the Red Scale Lake. Collect the bridge to the past from the auction house, and join hands with the refugees to get the key to the future."
This prophecy was given to George by Isaac Lucifer, the current patriarch of the Lucifer family. This means that Isaac sacrificed the future of a certain Lucifer descendant in exchange for this prophecy.
There is no doubt about the authenticity and accuracy of the prophecy. With the fire of the patriarch of the Lucifer family, even for a vampire as powerful as Isaac, his lies will be exposed instantly.
However, George did not ask further about how much information Isaac actually saw from the future vision. How much information was hidden in this prophecy, and he did not intend to ask further.
This is also the first criterion for making predictions come true——
Follow the prophecy and never delve into it.
Just like suggestions in psychology that amplify their effects countless times, prophecies are often the most refined words that practitioners extract from the torrent of fate to interfere with the future fate line. Any excess information will make the results of the intervention go to another direction. Uncertainty.
In other words, the few words given by the caster are all the subject should know. If you delve deeper, it will only make this prophecy useless. In serious cases, it may even cause a backlash of fate!
"So, 'Bridge to the Past,' what exactly is it?"
Since it is an underground auction house, such a shady place must be difficult to find using ordinary methods. Fortunately, as the leader of a mercenary group, George has no idea how to find such a gray place that wanders between light and darkness. It has long been understood.
Relying on his past experience, George quickly contacted the introducer of the underground auction house, paid a small deposit and admission fee, and after several inspections, he finally sat in a private room of the underground auction house.
This underground auction house was transformed from the underground wine cellar of a wealthy businessman's mansion in the past. The faint aroma of wine came from the underground, from the ceiling, and from the oak barrels on both sides of the auction house. The auction had not yet started. People are already a little tipsy, and VIPs like George who enjoy private room treatment can drink as much as they want from the drinks here.
However, if you think that this place can be as noisy as those dirty pubs, then you are not far from death! Whether it is the luxurious paving, the well-behaved maids, or the guards standing in the open, or the secret whistle hidden in the shadows, they are all reminding every guest who comes to bid that there is an incomparable secret behind this underground auction. A powerful force!
Of course, these warnings couldn't scare George. During the years when he was running mercenary missions in major cities in the Nicholas Empire, he would go and buy some equipment in any city where there was a black market. George's magical weapon level The outfit is made up of money, time and opportunity. An underground auction house of this level can be considered a small scene.
"Dear distinguished guests, welcome to today's auction! Tonight, we have prepared dozens of rare and rare treasures for you. They are..."
Familiar lines, familiar opening remarks, when the female host standing in front of the stage starts to recite the script in a melodious voice, most people's reaction should be to take out notes to record the treasure list, calculate the budget, or use various means to The real people behind them stay in touch.
But George's attention was not on the treasure. At this moment, his mental power and magic power were focused on the auditory center to capture the host's sound waves.
Generally speaking, magic devices that can amplify the sound are very common in this plane, and the production method is very simple. However, this host seems to use a magic device to amplify the sound. In fact, the function of this apparent magic device is to hide the host. People's strength, and what really strengthens her voice is precisely the fighting spirit in this host.
The purpose of doing this is to protect ignorant guests, and also to demonstrate to people with malicious intentions. It is like a swordsman inadvertently showing his calloused hands when shaking hands. Even if there is no sword in his hand, it still makes people laugh. He was in awe and did not dare to cross the thunder pool even half a step.
Expert, this is the expert!
However, when it comes to George, the voice amplified by fighting spirit makes the dark magic power in George's body feel slightly uncomfortable. In this case, there is only one possibility to explain it - the fighting spirit used by the host is Holy fighting spirit.
In other words, the true identity of this host should be a crusader.
If it were in the past, it would be normal to encounter Crusaders in this violent city. After all, George's old father-in-law, Arthur Pandagon did leave ten Crusaders and ten monks to control this violent city, but Nowadays, the City of Juarez is the base camp of the God of War James. At this juncture, it is slightly inconsistent for the Crusaders to appear in the underground auction and appear as the host.
According to George's understanding of the defected God of War, and James's narrow-mindedness that he must be dissatisfied because he is not of my own race, the Crusaders belonging to Arthur's line will inevitably be liquidated by him. However, assuming that the crusaders disguised as the host are still the same group of people left before, then the name of the host, as well as the name of the agent James, the God of War, left in this city, has already been revealed——
"Arthur's adjutant, former first-class private, Alice Talis. Ha, another old acquaintance!"
Now that he has deduced the banker behind the auction, George can put down unnecessary guard and concentrate on the auction itself.
…
"Devil's Manual, a special enhancement of demon summoning skills, you can earn it if you buy it! Demon's Manual, one thousand gold coins, one thousand five, two thousand, three thousand! Three thousand gold coins, is there any higher bid?"
"Three thousand gold coins once, three thousand gold coins twice, three thousand gold coins three times, deal done!"
…
"Golden armor, Crusader general level armor. Wearing it will give you an extra life! Golden armor is five thousand gold coins, five thousand five thousand, six thousand, seven thousand, eight thousand gold coins!"
"Eight thousand gold coins once, eight thousand gold coins twice, eight thousand gold coins three times, deal done!"
…
"Giant Killer, the finale of this auction, is a powerful weapon comparable to a holy weapon. It has extra damage to ancient bloodlines. It is said that it can even cut the scales of a black dragon! Five thousand gold coins, seven thousand, eight thousand, nine thousand, one Ten thousand, fifteen thousand, twenty thousand gold coins!”
"Twenty thousand gold coins once, twenty thousand gold coins twice, twenty thousand gold coins three times, deal done!"
…
While George was trying to figure out the dealer at the auction house, the auction in the audience had already entered a feverish stage. There is no need for the shills hiding in the dark to appear. When all kinds of second-level treasures and third-level magic weapons with unknown origins are put on the table, the buyers in the audience have already swarmed with crazy bids, fearing that they The money cannot be sent to the host's hands!
