At the same time, the old evil side also encountered a little trouble, that is, the origin of the jumping knife. After all, this thing was lost after the Augustus family's shop was looted, but now it appeared in the hands of the old evil, of course, people must be suspicious.
However, the old evil is not a fool, of course, he will not admit it, but he will not lie about it, directly ignore the other party, and do not pay attention to this fork at all. The fat man followed the instructions of the old mage and declared that this was an ancestral treasure, and it had nothing to do with the Augustus family at all. Of course, he did not forget to take the opportunity to satirize the Augustus family, saying that their poor family was about to eat, how could they have the money to buy such a precious thing? It is clearly a deliberate blackmail!
After listening to the fat man's words, the Augustus family was naturally angry to death, but they really couldn't think of any way to take back the jumping knife other than scolding. Because when they got that thing, it had some disgraceful origins, coupled with the spells that were not used, so that it had no actual value at all, and it could not be sold at a good price, so the Augustus family kept it in the snow, hoping to auction it or use it themselves after finding a way to use it in the future. Therefore, the existence of this thing, even if there are few people in the Augustus family, there are even fewer people who know, as for the other high-level of the Gryphon Kingdom, it is even more unknown.
In this case, although they reported the case, they could not provide proof that this thing belonged to the Augustan family. Of course, in terms of the power of the Augustus family, under normal circumstances, as long as he says that it is his, it is not, and basically no one dares to say a word. But the question is, isn't the Stephen family ordinary? Their power is slightly greater than that of the Augustan family, in fact, if it were not for the Augustus family to produce a queen, they really would not be able to compete with the Stephen family. So the Stephens family said that the Augustans were lying. Unless the Augustans can produce sufficient proof, there is really no way.
Moreover, since the two families are now in full swing, their direct mutual accusations are suspicious in the eyes of outsiders. Even if the Augustus family said that the jumping knife was a lost property of their own family, others would wonder, did the Augustus family know that the Stephen family had this treasure, so they planned to set a trap so that the Stephen family would suffer losses? To know. The reputation of the Augustus family in the noble circle has always been bad, especially after their family inexplicably obtained the secret recipe of the Stephen family's bow and arrow, and everyone looked down on them even more. After all, there are not many fools in the aristocratic circle, and everyone can see the trickiness in them. Since the Augustus family can pit the Stephen family in this matter, it is not impossible to make a fuss about jumping the knife.
So. Although the Augustan family knew clearly in their hearts that the only jumping knife on the continent was indeed stolen by themselves, they could not recover it at all. Unless they can produce conclusive evidence that the jumping knife is theirs. The original owner of the jumping knife is Chris Chen, and with him, the Stephen family is not afraid to fight a lawsuit with the Augustus family, maybe it can finally uncover Chris Chen's wrongful case.
However, maybe they are weak-hearted. Anyway, the Augustus family did not intend to entangle in this place, but gave up the dispute over the ownership of the jumping knife, but began to question the identity of the old evil, they suspected that the old evil was the one who robbed their shop and tortured the children of the nobles. After all, the power of the old evil is too perverted, if you don't say anything else, let's say that the decapitation sword of the Abyss Demon, each weighs a hundred pounds, that is, the sixth-level masters of human beings are a little unable to play, but the old evil is good. It's like holding a wooden sword. A sword can cut off the neck as thick as the Abyss Demon, which shows how terrifying this power is. In addition, the old evil body is tall enough, and it suddenly meets the two characteristics of the murderer.
It's just that the last point they can't figure out is the length of the old evil arm. Although everyone died at the scene of the murder of the nobles, there were many testimonies when the shop was robbed, and they all said that the murderer's arm was extremely long and could almost reach his feet. And the old evil is in front of everyone. The arms are exactly like everyone else. Even a little longer is within the acceptable range, definitely not as exaggerated as the surface of the foot.
But. For the Augustus family, it doesn't matter if you can't figure it out, you can make it up! So their people spread rumors everywhere that the old evil was the murderer, but at that time, he was wearing a special fist, so he looked a little awkward. Otherwise, how could the world have such strange looking people?
Under the disdain of the Augustus family, not only those nobles were fooled, but even the royal spies began to be alert and strengthened the investigation of the Stephen family, and even a few guys came to the old evil with a grin, saying that they asked him to go back to assist in the investigation.
Of course, this kind of small role that you know at a glance that you were bought by the Augustus family is not in the eyes of the old evil at all, in fact, there is no need for him to do it at all, and the fat man directly beckoned his subordinates to beat these guys who did not know whether they were dead or alive out of the house.
But the problem is that if you make a fuss like this, the fat man is not annoyed by the old evil spirit. So, after sending away those nasty guys, the old evil called Chris Chen to his room alone, and ordered with some chagrin: "Go and inquire for me, what other valuable property does the Augustus family have?" "
"Young Master, what exactly do you want to know?" Chris Chen smiled bitterly a little helplessly: "They have too many family properties, and they are all quite valuable, you at least give me a direction to investigate?" "
"Just look for shops that are small, but very valuable, such as the magic material store last time." Old evil way.
"Huh? Do you want to get them again? Chris Chen immediately said in surprise.
"Hehe, didn't they say I was wearing gloves? I'll show them this time if Lao Tzu really brought it! The old evil traitor laughed.
"But after the last incident, their family's property has strengthened its vigilance, this time I am afraid that you are not so good at it!" Chris Chen frowned.
"Hmph, just them, it doesn't matter how much they come!" The old evil said disdainfully: "You just have to find me a good target, don't worry about the rest!" "
"If that's the case, there's a good target to start with." Chris Chen said immediately.
"Oh, what is it?" The old evil immediately asked curiously.
"That's right." Chris Chen then explained: "It is said that the old man made a bet with Frank, the patriarch of the Augustus family, before the autumn hunt, and there were several people involved at the same time, and the two sides gambled relatively large, anyway, in the end, Frank lost tens of thousands of gold coins. You also know that the financial situation of the Augustus family has been extremely bad recently, especially after suffering a big loss in bow and arrow materials last time, it can almost only barely survive, and this time losing this money, suddenly led to a serious financial crisis for their family, if there is no large amount of cash flow, it may lead to the collapse of the entire family business. So in this case, they had to take out a treasure treasure from the family collection for auction. If you can get this thing, I believe that everyone in the Augustan family will vomit blood! "
"Haha, that's great!" When the old evil heard this, he immediately asked excitedly, "What is it?" How much is it worth? "
"It is a component of a sub-artifact, called the Ring of Toughness, with a reserve price of 7 gold coins, but if the final auction price is finally more than 100,000, it is not impossible to even 1560,000!" Chris Chen said: "It is said that even the old man of our family couldn't sit still after hearing the news!" He ordered the master to prepare 20 cash immediately, obviously aiming to get it! "
"Hehe, the old guy actually values it so much? Presumably a good thing. The old evil then hurriedly asked, "What is this ring of tenacity?" Why haven't I heard of it? "
"Hehe, in fact, I heard about it for the first time, so I deliberately went to find out." Chris Chen then explained: "According to professionals, the Ring of Toughness is a part of the sub-artifact Surging Blood Essence. According to legend, the surging blood essence is a bracelet that was passed down from the otherworldly plane about 3,000 years ago and was owned by a legendary mage, and later after his death, this thing became a funeral object. And more than 2,000 years ago, a group of high-quality grave robbers got this item from the graves of his organs. At that time, there were five tomb thieves, all good masters, all of them wanted to possess this object, and they argued with each other, and finally they decided to break down the surging blood essence, and just divided it into five parts to divide it equally, that is, the four gems on it, and the bare metal ring. These five things are the Healing Ring, the Void Gem, the Energy Gem, the Spirit Gem, and the Vitality Gem. "
"Lean, it's a good thing, what's the use of dismantling?" The old evil couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly: "What a group of losers!" "No, no, don't look at these five things separated, but they all have their own magical uses, the healing ring can increase all healing magic by one level, the Void Gem can double the magic recovery speed, the Energy Gem can directly increase the magician's mana limit by about 30%, and the vitality gem increases the spiritual power limit by 30%!" The Essence Qi Gem not only increases the upper limit of mana by about 20%, but also increases the upper limit of spiritual power by 20. Chris Chen explained: "And the ring of tenacity in this auction is re-set by the ring of healing and the void gem, which not only retains the original attributes of the two things, but also adds one, that is, it can accelerate the recovery of spiritual power, that is, people who bring the ring of tenacity can always feel energetic and not tired."
