In the auction hall on the first floor, the fake auction was also being carried out in an orderly manner.
Similarly, the final price was slightly later than the one on the second floor, but it was also set at 30000 gold.
Looking at the auctioneer on the stage, Ferdinand's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of pity flashed in his eyes.
It wasn't that they hadn't thought of bidding 30000 gold to get Bruno's 30000 gold, while bidding 28000 gold to pay the black-robed leader 28000 gold. Through this, they could earn some of the gold from the price difference.
However, if they were to do this, it would increase the chances of them being exposed in the future. Regardless of whether it was the high ranking official from the Ministry of Finance behind Bruno or the Conferred Knight who had brought the parietal bones, both of them were not to be trifled with.
Therefore, in order to minimize the chances of them being exposed, they gave up on the chance to earn money.
However, now that things had come to this, seeing this scene, a hint of pity flashed in his eyes uncontrollably.
He nodded toward the black-robed leader, smiled, and said, "Congratulations, Sir. The next transaction in the trading room has been completed. Please follow me."
Therefore, he brought the black-robed leader and the others to the trading room on the first floor. On the second floor, Bruno, who was wearing a golden mask, also came to the trading room on the second floor.
Both parties opened the door to the trading room at almost the same time and looked inside.
On the second floor, Bruno looked toward the trading room. A black-robed man (fake) was already standing there. He walked in, followed by a few subordinates, and smiled at the black-robed man (fake).
"I wonder where the parietal bones are?"
The black-robed man (fake) asked in a muffled voice, "Where's the money?"
Bruno clapped his hands, and one of his subordinates walked in with ten boxes. "There's 15,000 gold in here. After the transaction is completed, which is six hours later, you'll pay the remaining 15,000 gold."
The black-robed man (fake) nodded, gestured to his two subordinates behind him, and they started to move the boxes.
However, before they could move the boxes, Bruno suddenly stopped them.
"Wait a minute, before you take the money, I need to check if there's anything wrong with the parietal bones." He said to a middle-aged man behind him, "Let this blacksmith appraise it. Master Harman has forged Superior Divine Weapons before and is very experienced with the remains of Conferred Knights. Take out the parietal bones first and let Master Harman appraise them."
Immediately, the atmosphere froze, and everyone fell silent.
…
Ferdinand brought the black-robed man to the trading room on the first floor. The black-robed leader took a look and discovered that a (fake) man wearing a golden mask was already standing there.
The black-robed man walked in. The golden-masked man (fake) said, "Hello, where's the skull?"
The black-robed man said, "Money in one hand, goods in the other. Where's the money? "
The golden-masked man was (fake) silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something. Just as the atmosphere began to become stiff, he nodded and said, "Of course. Bring the money in."
The latter part of his sentence was directed outside.
A few burly men carrying ten large sacks walked in. Along the way, clanking sounds could be heard. That was the sound of gold coins colliding.
The golden-masked man (fake) said, "That's a total of 15,000 gold coins. I'll pay the remaining 15,000 in six hours. How does that sound?"
The black-robed man nodded and said, "Sure." As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized square box from his bosom. It turned out that he had been keeping the skull close to him all this time.
Ferdinand let out a sigh of relief inwardly, 'Thank goodness I still have the money from selling the remains. There should be no problem now. '
However, just as he was letting out a sigh of relief inwardly, the black-robed man's words made him feel anxious again. The black-robed man said calmly, "You can stay here to comprehend. Within six hours, you're not to leave my sight."
Ferdinand immediately frowned and said with a smile, "Sir, striving to attain Heaven's Perception is no small matter. You'd still need a quiet and secluded environment, right? This is different from what we've agreed on previously. "
The black-robed man shook his head, "Within six hours, the parietal bones are not to leave my sight. If you're not willing, you can call off the deal. After all, there are still many people who want it."
He stood there in a domineering manner, like a great mountain that could not be crossed. The aura of a second transition Conferred Knight was released without reservation, pressing down on everyone.
…
On the second floor, when Bruno mentioned that he wanted to verify the authenticity of the parietal bones, the place fell silent.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the black-robed man (fake), who had not spoken a word. Bruno suddenly said coldly, "Why? You don't dare? It can't be that you've given me a fake parietal bone, right? "
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting increasingly solemn, the black-robed man (fake) suddenly started walking toward Bruno and the others.
The gazes of the four Knights behind Bruno narrowed, and they immediately went forward to block him. However, before they could get close, Fang Xingjian casually performed the domineering, swift, and extremely terrifying Ether Sword Ripples.
There was no need for it to reach the limits of eight times the speed of sound. Just a formless slash at four times the speed of sound was already unimaginably terrifying to a first transition professional.
Pffft pffft pffft pffft pffft sounds rang out. The four Knights did not see it, did not feel it, and were completely unaware of what had attacked them. By the time they heard the soft sounds, the four of them had already become bald.
It was as if their heads had been shaved by a hairdresser, and their hair fell to the ground.
Fang Xingjian slowly walked up to Bruno, and his gloomy voice rang out.
"It's fine if you want to appraise it, but the parietal bone can only be touched by one person. If he touches it, you can forget about touching it."
Bruno only felt that there seemed to be a pair of extremely sharp eyes staring at him from the darkness of the black robe. He turned to look at the four Knights who were protecting him and grinned, saying, "Good technique. To be able to cut off their hair without making a sound, it means that you can also take off their heads without making a sound."
"As expected of a Conferred Knight." Bruno naturally did not know which other Knight-level experts would be able to do this. Sensing the gushing aura from the other party, as well as the miraculous technique from earlier, he immediately confirmed his earlier guess. The person protecting the parietal bone was an extremely powerful Conferred Knight, but his exact level was unknown.
Bruno straightened his body with great difficulty and said, "But even if you're a Conferred Knight, you can't be so domineering, right? Can't you even appraise it? "
Fang Xingjian said coldly, "If there's no effect, you don't have to pay. Just leave the 15,000 gold here first."
"But only one person can touch the parietal bone. Otherwise, wouldn't it be used by two people? It's fine if you want to do that, but you just have to pay more. "
Master Harman frowned and said, "I'll only appraise it. I definitely won't secretly use the parietal bone in the process of touching it. Aren't you being too petty?"
"Oh?" Under the black robe, Fang Xingjian's head seemed to turn over, and a sharp aura gushed out. "You're right. I'm that petty. If I say that only one person can use it, then only one person can touch it."
Just as the others were about to argue, Bruno stopped them and said with a clear laugh, "Alright, don't you guys trust a Conferred Knight?"
He looked at Fang Xingjian's actions, thought about his methods, and listened to his tone. A name gradually appeared in his mind.
