The Flame of Burning All Things Chapter 68—The Eve of the Storm (6)
Obviously, no matter how weird the Cardinal described the mural, and how exquisite the workmanship was. After several price increases, those people were unwilling to increase the price up. The giant beasts in the painting were lifelike, and the black fire almost showed the painting, but how do those present understand the value of this painting?
Even the three of Gusuli didn't understand why such a mural recording of ferocious beasts appeared here. If you had to sell it, the value that could be generated by selling it to the witch clan and ordinary people was completely different.
Seeing that no one raised the price, the heavy hammer had been hit twice, and it was time to make a final decision after falling again. But the highest price was only maintained at 10 million. But the priest in the red dress did not intend to give up. He looked indifferent, and a hint of undetectable contempt was fleeting. But the three Gusuri below still felt it, and the cardinal gave them a strange feeling.
He said solemnly in English
"Everyone, maybe you don't understand the value of this painting yet. This painting has the ultimate secret of this world, and it is the end of all science and theology. It truly contains the ultimate goal of mankind, and no one can resist it."
The bishop refused to drop the third hammer. The mysterious man who bid 10 million was a little angry, but he just clenched his fists tightly, without any extra movements. This church seemed to have a mysterious taboo, and everyone here tacitly dared not pass the line.
Everyone was a little nervous when they heard the bishop's words.
"Immorta1" he used a word.
The bishop showed a strange smile, and his dress seemed to have been poured into the strong wind out of thin air, and it seemed to be fatter.
Immortality means eternal existence.
"Is it his target?" Guan Zijin widened his eyes.
Everything from the time he opened the true face of the mural seemed to show that he knew the secret of the ferocious beast, and the last English word almost confirmed that he knew the existence of the mural. Every king of the ferocious beast is immortal. They will only sleep forever in the years and then wake up from all corners of the world at some point.
"Senior brother...what do we want to do? This person may not be the goal, but it must be related to the goal." Gu Xiaobei asked.
The senior brother did not show surprise or nervousness. He always looked at the cardinal calmly. His cold eyes looked like a lurking hunter, waiting for the moment when his prey showed its flaws.
He still shook his head.
But this time, he did not explain why, because he didn't know whether to step forward to catch the cardinal. If he really wanted to act, neither the eagle above nor the evil men holding guns around him could stop them.
But he always had a sense of intuition, as if something even more terrifying was still coming.
So the three of them continued to wait.
But after making such a gesture and making the atmosphere very tense, no one was willing to raise the price anymore. This was a silent auction, and the bidder could only show the price tag and could not directly ask the bishop. Those doubts, sneers, and angry words were all suppressed in their hearts.
These people are doing the most vicious and cruel transactions in the world, and naturally they are all extremely evil people. How could they bear the bishop like a charlatan to pretend to be on it?
"I think there must be bombs buried here, otherwise those people would have taken out their ak from their coats and aimed them at them for a while." Gu Xiaobei said.
This is not a game of Holy See culture. These villains are here to bid for things. It would be nice if they didn't grab them. They were actually here obediently, besides the bullying of the charlatan.
"It's possible." said senior brother Jinglian.
"Really...really? Then is it better for us to withdraw first?" Gu Xiaobei felt that the senior brother's words might be true.
"Coward." Guan Zijin cursed inwardly. Gu Xiaobei's nerves were tense and his ears were very sensitive, so of course he heard it.
"Hey, don't tell me you're not afraid. Even if there are no bombs here... there must be something terrifying." Gu Xiaobei said.
Guan Zijin was really helpless. He felt that he could not see through Gu Xiaobei. He was so cowardly that he was sometimes too scared, and then he looked like a young man with passion. Just now, he was so scared by a mural that he almost fainted.
Seeing that everyone was still indifferent, the Cardinal felt a little funny and laughed like a self-deprecating person.
"It seems that you are not interested in such an item. What a pity that mortals cannot understand its value. But let it go if it is past. I know what you are doing today..."
He hit the third hammer hard. The man who took the mural with ten million Southern currency was relieved. Although he didn't quite understand the value of the painting, he heard some clues from the charlatan who presided over the auction.
Perhaps this painting really has value that they cannot see.
No one knew what he was thinking, and the rest of the villains from all over the world didn't care. The only thing they cared about was the auction item that appeared next.
The cardinal patted his hands and walked out of the darkness a strong man in a suit. It was winter now, and almost everyone was wrapped in a coat. He stood here in a suit only.
"Where did it come from?" Guan Zijin frowned.
If the previous giant eagle was hidden above the stone pillar above the church with its animal instinct and protective color, it was not revealed. But how could this man in suit and collar stand in the dark corner without attracting others' attention?
"Are these people really ordinary people? I feel that they are even more mysterious than the witch clan. This place is very evil," he continued.
Gu Xiaobei looked at the strong man in suit walking forward with a tray, and he remembered the "Mr. Qian" from that time.
The Cardinal lifted the black cloth covered on the tray, and an exquisite light golden medal was exposed to the light.
The church was very dark, and everyone saw the medal reflecting golden light at the first time. The previous unhappiness was swept away, and the evildoers came here for this thing. At this moment, restlessness was growing, and restless blood began to boil.
Many people stared at the medal with greed in their eyes.
"Okay, okay, everyone, please take back your eyes. Everyone has seen the things. It is not enough to rely on the gun and vicious eyes in your hands to get it. Only those who open their pockets can take it away."
The Cardinal covered the medal with a black cloth again, and his contemptuous smile once again floated on the corner of his mouth.
"Sure enough... this thing should be something like a token. It does not have actual value, it is just a symbol of certain identity or qualification." Jinglian breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's related to the trade fair?" Gu Xiaobei asked in surprise.
He originally thought that this medal might have been the treasure of a human king in the world a thousand years ago, and after so long it had a high collection value, everyone showed a strong interest. But when they thought about the reason why they came to this church during the day.
The medal should be related to the qualification of the 'trade fair'.
The "Trade Fair" is the largest event in the New Triangle Trade. All kinds of heroes and giants come. Of course, not everyone can enter the leader who is ashamed of trading. Although the evildoers wearing coats and slightly scattered murderous aura who were present today are also scary, they are still far behind those big guys.
No wonder they wanted to take this medal. This medal is probably the qualification to participate in the "Trade Fair". What surprised Gu Xiaobei was that the qualification to the "Trade Fair" actually had such great value. What transactions were being conducted there?
Thinking of this, the mythical unparalleled sword of heaven and earth might really appear there.
His palms were sweating slightly.
"Now, this thing seems to be our goal." Gu Xiaobei said.
Previously, Teacher Yuan Jian gave them the task to find out the information about the "trade fair" and get the qualification to enter the "trade fair".
But from the current scene, it seems a bit unrealistic for them to get this medal. There is no other way except to pull out the gun and dagger from their waists and kill these evildoers and the bishop above.
"Pay attention to the eagle above and give priority to shooting. You are responsible for attracting people's attention. I'll get the medal. Remember, if I get it, a ray of lightning will slash across the sky." The senior brother was still expressionless and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Are you going to... start fighting?" Gu Xiaobei felt a little sudden.
"Whoever shoots the end will start a war. It's better to make the situation mess up first." A trace of thunder flashed in the senior brother's eyes.
