Chapter 27 The Spiked Mark

After playing so many cards, Hall finally stopped playing with satisfaction.

"Oh, it's been a long time since I've played so well! I'm so satisfied~" He put away all the cards on the table with a smile: "It feels like the storm is about to stop, why don't we call it a day?"

"Wait." Leon crossed his hands and sat calmly on the seat: "I still have something to say."

Hall opened his mouth, as if he wanted to interrupt him, but Leon said what he wanted to say before him: "Do you know why... there are so many Mage Eyes and Shadow Assassins on this ship? ?”

All three stopped what they were doing.

"Don't you think it's strange...why is the destination of everyone on this ship is Unierna? Why can't I find an ordinary person on this ship? I can tell you now that not only are there no ordinary people on this ship, even Everyone's combat effectiveness is at the stage of intermediate fighters."

After he finished speaking, he saw Hall who was trying to refute him with his feet up, paused and said, "Smuggling is not counted."

Hall: Hey, I'm so angry!

Somerfield knocked on the table with his hand to draw the attention of the two of them back. He looked at Leon with an imperceptible look in his eyes: "Why?"

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not a suspicious person. I bought the boat ticket a little earlier than you. It's only natural that I know better than you."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" Julius said with a look of seniority that everything was right!I listen to the expressions of the seniors.

Somerfield is a little desperate: ...

As if he couldn't stand Summerfield's expression of giving up resistance, Leon smiled and continued: "On the way to Unierna, there will be an auction. It's secret."

"secret?"

"That's right, I sneaked close to this batch of auction items in disguise... Let me just say two items, among them are the heavenly skirt and the spike mark, I should have an impression."

Isolation·Innocence·Demon·Summerfield·Wang: ...What are you looking at!Bully people from the Demon Realm!

Julius whispered to him quietly: "The skirt of heaven is the robe worn by the saints of the previous generation of the Illuminati Church. It contains a lot of light energy and a protective enchantment magic that is enough to cover the size of a city of Hal. But later in a classic During the unclear battle, the saint died in an explosion, and the heavenly skirt disappeared. The Temple of Light always thought that she was blown to pieces along with the saint during the battle.

"

A thought flashed in Summerfield's eyes.

Unspoken battle?

He lowered his head, blocked his movements with a large robe, quietly took out a transmission crystal and input:

Friends, do you know the heaven skirt?

After doing this, he took the crystal back without anyone noticing it.

"The spike mark is a relic left by the legendary assassin Valentina 500 years ago. It is said that Valentina's assassination skills are superb because she signed a contract with the devil and obtained part of the devil's power."

Summerfield: I'm not!I don't!

"There is a more popular saying: Valentina is a peerless beauty with a variety of styles. At that time, countless people fell in love with her. Even the devil was amazed by her appearance."

The demon king Summerfield, who was forcibly charmed by humans, was expressionless: Shut up, I don't want to hear it.

"Valentina has her own ambitions, she wants to gain the power of the devil, she wants to become stronger, so she decides to seduce the devil, and after having a good time with the devil, the devil took pity on her and gave her the most precious spike mark of the devil world, He even gave her part of his strength and asked her to become his queen."

Demon King Summerfield Shocked by Human Stories: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Of course, Valentina is a very ambitious woman, so she rejected the devil king and returned to the human world, and used the weapon bestowed on her by the devil king to kill the world. It left a well-known legend on the mainland..."

The blame king Summerfield has never wanted to return to the devil world as much as he does now.

You mainlanders are too good at playing.

"Valentina was finally killed by an unknown archer, and the spike mark disappeared. There are rumors that the concubine of the devil was jealous that Valentina was favored by the devil, and left a frightening mark on the spike mark. The curse upon which Valentina died."

The well-known single old bachelor Summerfield in the devil world: ...

He decided to change the subject: "Although these two things sound very famous, it seems that the origin is not very formal."

"That's right, it's just irregular." Leon nodded: "Most of these things are items that have disappeared in history or where their whereabouts are unknown, that is to say, they are stolen goods."

"But for stolen goods, don't auction houses have dark trading days?" Hall shook his head: "There must be a story in it."

Speaking of this, Leon straightened his face: "I found a very special thing in the warehouse, it was packed in a black box, and there were two layers of mithril chains around it, and it was not put together with other goods, and There are at least 5 master-level fighters guarding there in turn, and I can't get close at all. This should be the main course of this auction. That's the problem. They sent so many people to guard, which shows that this item is very valuable. Big, but since the value is great, no one will carry so much money on board, and even most mid-level fighters and mages can’t afford these things.”

"Then let's deduce that the main dish you saw last will definitely cause a huge disturbance on the continent, and even he is not allowed to appear on the Figocili continent at all. All the illegal items before are for this Something as a cover." Summerfield said slowly: "I think it's more likely that he deliberately only picked mages above the intermediate level, is it because junior mages can't control this thing at all? To put it more bluntly, is it necessary Sacrifice to open this box?"

"That's why, as a junior mage, I can't buy a boat ticket because of the so-called lack of money?" Hall no longer had the heartless look on his face just now, and his brows were tightly frowned.

The faces of several people became ugly.

After a moment of silence, Julius deduced: "I think this thing is also a hot potato for the auctioneer? That's why he wants to sell him as a scapegoat, and after that person opens the box to sacrifice, It died just like that. At this time, the box became an ownerless thing and was recovered by the auctioneer without anyone noticing. The person who took the box on the surface is dead, and the box can't be found..."

"Like the ending of the Holy Maiden of Light and Valentina." Julius said with a straight face, "but all of this is our speculation. Maybe that item is not for auction? Or is this item needed? The commission from the mercenary group? This is all possible."

"Don't be nervous. Since it's an auction, there will definitely be a leaflet. Why don't you take a look at it?" Having said that, Summerfield no longer felt as nervous about this matter as he did at the beginning. All the ships were blown up, and he was confident that he would take Julius away unscathed.

The transmission crystal hidden in the sleeve was slightly hot, and Summerfield quietly injected a bit of mental power

[Tsk, is that heavenly skirt that was taken away by an unknown organization and blamed on the big bang?I know, why. 】

Shay's impatient voice came from the crystal, as if he had encountered something bothering him.

Summerfield thought for a while, and replied:

[I saw someone on the boat selling heavenly skirts, um... that kind of annoying feeling is quite heavy. 】
