The Augustus family had its own auction house, and the place where this sale was held was naturally in its shop. It is not only the auction house of the Augustus family, but also the high-end jewelry workshop, the warehouse of various precious materials, and the temporary residence of high-ranking personnel, etc., which can be said to be a very important base of the Augustus family.
And now, such a critical place was smashed into ruins by the old mage's lightning bolt. Moreover, as if he had measured it in advance, the old mage specifically smashed the territory of the Augustus family, and the buildings of other nearby families were almost unharmed. In the eyes of everyone, who can not know what is going on?
And although the Augustus family knew that the old mage was deliberately making trouble, they were stunned that there was no way to trouble him. Because after all, people are helping your family catch thieves, even if you break something, you are embarrassed to find others to compensate, right? What's more, even if the Augustus family pulled down their faces to the old mage to ask for compensation, it was obviously impossible.
The reason is simple, because the old mage is not the only one who destroys it. You know, the other Saint Domain masters were also in a hurry to chase the old evil just now, all of them were the masters who did not take the usual path, in order to hurry, some directly kicked the door, some broke the window, and the heavy armored sword saint even broke a wall happily. So, if the Augustus family wants to find the old mage to compensate, what about the others? If everyone goes and breaks things, you can't just ask the old mage to compensate for it alone, right? If the Augustus family dared to be so unreasonable, then the old mage would definitely not mind smashing it again.
And the Augustus family obviously can't all ask for compensation, in that case. Not only is it really unbearable on face, but it is also extremely unwise to offend so many masters at once. As long as they haven't reached the point of idiots, they will never do this. So the Augustus family's dumb loss this time is certain.
The old mage obviously knew this for a long time, so after releasing the spell, he triumphantly showed off to the other mages. Although those who knew that the old mage was deliberately making trouble, their relationship with the old mage was naturally deeper than the relationship with the Augustus family, so they all cooperated with the old mage to make a fuss. He kept praising how good the old mage's spells were, making the old mage laugh. Then after a few more words, everyone dispersed.
On the side, the patriarch of the Augustus family, Frank, had to show a smile to thank people for coming and fighting, and then personally sent them off. Even when the pastor connected his son's severed limb, he had to let go for a while and then visit. In that heart, don't mention how depressed. What happened next made Frank vomit blood even more depressed.
It turned out that since the old mage released the eighth-level magic mad thunder heavenly prison known as the small forbidden spell, everyone in the venue thought that the murderer was absolutely dead, so if the powerful spell bombarded for a minute, even if the sword saint was inside, he would definitely die early. Therefore, when everyone saw with their own eyes the scene of the old evil being devoured by lightning. They all thought that the matter was over, so they all left.
However, when the Augustus family mobilized hundreds of people and rummaged through the ruins for three days in a row, not only did they not find the stolen treasure Ring of Tenacity, but they also failed to find a single part of the murderer's body.
Logically speaking, this is obviously impossible, because the Ring of Fortitude is a sub-artifact. After special treatment when refining, its own strength is extremely high, and it should be able to withstand such a degree of lightning spells, after all, the damage power of lightning spells to metal is relatively low. Moreover, even the murderer himself should not be thoroughly informed, because the opponent's claws are extremely hard, and they can even compete with the swords full of fighting spirit of a sixth-level master. Such a hard thing obviously should not be completely destroyed under the lightning spell, even if the murderer's whole body is ashen, then these claws should at least leave some fragments, but the scene is stunned that there is no trace left.
Undoubtedly, after these two cases, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that the murderer is not dead at all. Instead, he fled with a ring of fortitude.
This conclusion hit the Augustus family too hard. Anyway, when he got the news, Frank vomited three liters of blood on the spot, and then directly fell unconscious.
To know. The Augustus family originally wanted to rely on this thing to save the family from danger, but the result was good, the thing was snatched away, the son was injured, and finally took the boss's inheritance, which was really a loss to the lady and a broken army! In particular, the destruction of the auction house and the workshop behind it made the already difficult economic situation of the Augustus family even worse, and it was not far from bankruptcy.
Fortunately, the Augustus family has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the family ancestors have also produced masters of the Holy Domain level, so the family is still very material. After the ring of fortitude was clearly lost, they took advantage of the fact that the nobles who came here had not left, and quickly held another auction house, sold a set of ancestral sword saint through the earth extreme dwarf battle armor, plus some other things, and finally scraped together hundreds of thousands of gold coins, alleviating the family's economic crisis in one fell swoop. However, although in this way, they finally got through the difficulty, but it was just to maintain, and if they wanted to recover, I am afraid that it was impossible to recover for more than ten years.
That day, under the cover of the old mage's lightning, the old evil successfully walked away with a jumping knife. Because the lightning was too dense at that time, it was like a wall blocking the sight of everyone in the courtyard, so no one saw that the old evil had left, only the old mage who released the spell.
After returning, the old evil casually threw the ring of tenacity to the old mage, so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and praised the old evil for his filial piety.
In fact, the old mage originally planned to come back and scold the old evil for a meal, who told the old evil to act without saying hello? But as soon as he saw that the old evil was actually to rob himself, the old mage was immediately moved, so he complained and forgot it completely.
Then the old mage hurriedly went back to reform, after all, the ring of toughness is a stolen thing, he can't always carry it around every day, right? So it has to be modified beyond recognition. Of course, this kind of work may be difficult for others, but it is especially simple for the old mage, he just wrapped another layer of Mithril on the outside of the Ring of Fortitude, and then carved some protective magic runes on the Mithril Silver, and the Void Gem was also covered by fragments of other blue gems, so that the appearance changed greatly. After some treatment by the old mage, the ring of tenacity turned into a silver-white protective magic bracelet, which was thrown into Frank's hand to ensure that he could not recognize it.
After solving this matter, the old mage returned the favor and promised the old evil to personally come forward to find the Ice Law Saint and ask for the goblin mortar drawings in her hand. It has been a long time since the official conflict between the old evil and the little princess last time, presumably the other party's anger should also be dissipated, and the little princess now has an excellent relationship with the old evil, plus the face of the old mage, it should be possible to get the drawings.
Sure enough, things went very smoothly, almost the same as the old mage and the old evil thought, the Cold Ice Law Saint did not embarrass the old mage this time, but very gently blackmailed the old mage an elite-level monster, and gave the drawing to the old mage. In fact, seriously speaking, people's drawings are worth more than this elite-level gods and monsters, after all, the drawings are this one in the whole continent, and there are many elite gods and monsters. Moreover, the gods and monsters are gone, but the drawings can conjure up countless goblin mortars, in contrast, the drawings are naturally more valuable.
After getting the drawings, the old mage began to study in retreat, and it was difficult for even the old evil to see. And the old evil naturally does not bother him with nothing, in fact, he is also happy to entertain himself.
Since the old evil that public robbery, everyone present has faced that the murderer is not Little Stephen, so all of a sudden the spies of various forces outside the Stephen family have almost all disappeared, which makes the old evil become leisurely, he is either flirting with the little Kraken in the castle all day, or playing with Vivian, and sometimes messing around with the little princess, anyway, that little day was extremely beautiful.
However, it seems that it is the retribution of the old evil as the devil, anyway, his good life usually does not last! No, just a few days after the old evil cleared his suspicions, an uninvited guest came to the door on this afternoon.
The person who came was the patriarch of the Hercules family, Akashive, according to the relationship between the old evil and Constane, he should also be regarded as the father-in-law of the old evil, so for his sudden visit, the old mage did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly threw down the experiment in his hand to come out to receive him, because he knew that ordinary small things would naturally be handled by fat people, not a big accident, and the other party would not come to the magic tower to find him.
The old evil happened to be in the castle, so the old mage called him out to accompany the guests by the way, and after the three of them exchanged pleasantries, they sat down separately in the living room.
At this time, although he had not yet said the right thing, whether it was the old mage or the old evil, he was sure. Something is definitely wrong with the other party. Because Duke Akashi was pale, and cold sweat seeped out from time to time, it was completely different from the calm image of the usual command.
