Mortal practice

In the compartment on the second floor of the auction house, Wein and Su Jue sat on two sofa chairs, and the auction platform on the first floor could be clearly seen from the front.

Su Jue looked at the exquisite black tea and snacks on the table in front of him, frowned thinking about something, and remained silent for a moment.

The young man explained the ins and outs of the matter to him just now.

He came here because of the strange illness of the owner of Fellock Manor.

After Wayne went back to see his father that day, he found that the other party seemed to be a different person. Seeing himself was like seeing a stranger. He suddenly fell ill the next day.Wein was forced to have no choice but to call a lawyer to record the other party's oral will.

And his father, the Duke of Fellock, changed all the heirs of the family property to his elder brother, Kles, on the spot.

When he came to the auction today, he was still worried about his father's illness. He heard that there would be a rare medicinal herb Chiffin Grass for sale.It is said that Chifencao can cure all diseases, especially for mental hallucinations.

Although Vin was not without doubts, seeing his father haggard and frantic was already frightening enough. Before he had time to get to the bottom of the matter of the will, when he heard the servants tell him that Chiffin grass appeared here, he rushed to the place immediately. After coming over, I ran into Su Jue.

Hearing the other party's description of his father's illness, Su Jue searched in his memory, but was surprised.Even a knowledgeable mage like the original owner had never heard of this disease, but what he was sure of was that it was not a disease at all, more like some kind of witchcraft.

Su Jue felt that it was more likely to be man-made than to suffer from this disease for nothing.

From the point of view of the ultimate beneficiary of this matter, the person who framed Patriarch Fellock was that Kles?

"Su Jue, how did you get in here?" Just as Su Jue was lost in thought, Wein still couldn't help asking curiously, although he was still worried about his father's health.

Su Jue glanced at him: "He sneaked in."

Wein opened his eyes wide at first, but after realizing it, he didn't believe it at all: "This is not a place where you can sneak in casually, unless you are a member of the royal family."

Speaking of this, he didn't hear the other party's rebuttal, he was slightly taken aback, and turned his head to look at Su Jue: "Are you really a royal family?"

Su Jue chuckled lightly: "If I'm really a member of the royal family, why would I become the owner of a small bookstore?"

"I'm going to ask you this..." Wein obviously didn't give up his guess because of the other party's words.

Just as Su Jue was thinking about how to explain his identity to the young man, he suddenly heard a few crisp bells coming from downstairs, and the two of them looked down at the same time.

A blond beauty with a good figure twisted her body and walked up the circular steps holding the auction item, and the auction started.

Wayne's expression suddenly froze slightly.

There weren't many people bidding at the auction house today, and it didn't look like it would take much effort to get what he wanted.

Of course, even if it is difficult, Wein is bound to win Chiffin Grass.

This auction house is the largest and most famous in the city. The people who come here are either rich or expensive. The items auctioned in it are all rare and rare treasures. The highest bid among the first few items has already reached [-] gold coins.

Naturally, Wein was well prepared when he came here. He had already asked the auctioneer what price Chiffin Grass would be sold at, and confirmed that the price was still within his tolerance.

The two servants he brought standing beside Wein were carrying two large boxes of gold and silver, but if the money had to be spent according to the will of Wein's biological father who had just revised it recently, then Wein would become a man with nothing. pauper.

Su Jue glanced at the heavy box, then at Wein's unwavering expression, his eyes moved, and he seemed to be able to guess the situation of the other party.

I don't know how many products downstairs were bought by bidding, and Wein kept staring at the center of the field without blinking. When Chiffin Grass was put on the auction stage, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to heat up in an instant.

"The base price is [-] gold coins." The charming girl introduced the usefulness of Chiffin Grass in a sweet voice, and walked around the auction stage with it, so that the guests on the second floor could see it more clearly.

Wein did not move for the time being, and waited for others to bid.

The rules of the auction here are also different from those of ordinary auction houses. In ordinary auction houses, customers can call prices freely, but here the price calls are not through human voices, but by shaking the bell in the compartment. It is regarded as an increase of one hundred gold coins, and only big-budget guests can afford this trick.

By the time the venue became silent, the price of Chiffin Grass had been raised to [-] gold coins.

"Is there anyone else who needs to raise the price?" asked the auctioneer.

Wein stretched out his hand and shook the bell on his left hand, ready to take away his Chiffin Grass. Unexpectedly, a bell sounded from a compartment diagonally opposite in the next second, and Wein frowned.

Su Jue had been sitting on the chair watching leisurely all the time, but now he sat up a little bit straighter and turned his gaze to the place where the bell rang just now, feeling that things were not that simple.

Sure enough, after Wein rang the bell again, the exit compartment immediately rang twice in a row like a contrarian, so you come and I go down, the bells of the two compartments ring more and more slowly, but no one is willing give up.

Wein's expression remained calm, but there was a stern look in his eyes.

"Master, the gold and silver we brought are running out." An attendant who was in charge of calculating the amount approached and said worriedly.

It can't be a coincidence, Su Jue frowned, the person in that compartment did it on purpose.

Wein secretly prayed that the other party would not raise the price. The other party was silent for a long time, and it seemed that the amount was not enough. Just as the auctioneer was about to knock down the hammer, there was a crisp bell ringing again.

Wein gritted his teeth, he had no money, got up and was about to go directly to that compartment to ask questions, and wanted to see if there was a way to get Chiffin Grass from the other party, but was suddenly stopped by Su Jue.

Su Jue looked at him and shook his head, and said, "It's useless, since he intends to bid with you, the purpose is to prevent you from getting Chifen Grass."

Why didn't Wein guess this, but what could he do?He looked at Su Jue, his expression finally brought some anxiety.

Su Jue patted Wein's shoulder lightly, passed his hand through Wein's back at the same time, and rang the bell twice in a row.

Wayne was taken aback.

"I still have some spare money that I just brought with me, I can lend it to you in case of emergency." Su Jue said.The money has been kept in the storage bag, and it is the subsidy from the royal family that the original body can receive every month. The original body has seldom used it, but it came in handy today.

It seems that after hearing the sound in the side compartment, the guests inside knocked something to the ground without knowing whether it was anger or excitement.

Su Jue looked at the room and squinted his eyes.

The auctioneer finally made a decision, and the chiffin grass was auctioned by Wein's compartment at a high price of [-] gold coins.

"Su Jue, you..." Wein looked at Su Jue with hesitation.

"Don't worry," Su Jue took out the storage bag. This original baby storage bag looks ordinary, but it contains enough treasures to make everyone envious: "Even if it's not enough, I'll sell a few copies of the master's handwriting." That's enough."

Wayne looked at him gratefully, as if he didn't know what to say.

……

After Su Jue and Wein walked out of the auction house, Wein smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, if I didn't have you today, I would have rushed over to have a fight with that guy."

Su Jue sneered and shook his head: "Aren't you afraid of being kicked out?"

What Wein said just now was of course a joke, even though he was very casual in front of Su Jue, but in other places, he is still a gentleman carefully cultivated by a big family, and it is impossible for him to lose his mind and do such a thankless thing.

But getting Chiffin Grass will not be so easy after all.

"Hurry up and treat your father." Su Jue said: "So as not to delay the opportunity, the night will be full of dreams."

Wein opened his mouth, but finally nodded: "I'll visit your bookstore when my father gets better."

Su Jue nodded with a smile: "I'll wait for you."

Hearing this, Wein blushed slightly and gave Su Jue a shy smile, and hurried back to Fellock Manor with his servants.

Su Jue looked at the young man's back and frowned.

He always felt that things would not be so simple, but he had no idea, after all, he didn't understand the specific situation of the other party's family at all.

I hope he thinks too much.

……

As soon as Vin walked into the gate of the manor, he felt that something was wrong.

A green light suddenly ignited in his hand, urging the wind magic to leap backwards, quickly dodging the attack of a black shadow, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a group of people dressed as knights suddenly embraced him in the next second Come over and surround Wein in the middle.

And the two Wein's personal servants had been pierced through the chest by a sword and fell to the ground, lifeless.

"Santas, are you dying? Have you forgotten who I am?" Wein looked at the knight leader holding the sword, his expression sank.

"My subordinates have not forgotten that you used to be the respected Master Wein, but you will not be from now on." Santas's eyes exposed outside the armor were full of sarcasm.

"You'd better get out of the way, I need Chiffin grass to treat my father's illness." Wein tried to keep his tone as calm as possible.

"So that you can poison the Patriarch again?" the other party said disdainfully.

Wayne was taken aback, frowned and said, "What did you say?"

"Vain, my father has already made a will. Everything in the manor is mine, and the guards are naturally mine," Kles' lazy voice came from not far away. See his triumphant expression.

"You used witchcraft to trap your father injustice before, and now you want to directly poison him to death under the guise of saving people?" Keles walked forward slowly and said with a sneer.
