“Kakak Kalan's. "Alice called out in a low voice, while looking at her with urgency in her eyes.
Perhaps others would feel proud to be the inspiration for a Grandmaster-level statue. But this 'Resurrection From Dreams' from Linley was different. Anyone who had ever spent time analyzing the statue would easily be able to tell from the aura released by the five figures that there was a romantic history between Linley and Alice.
If Alice had just married into a small clan, it wouldn't have been a big deal.
But ... she is married to the Kalan Debs clan.
Kalan was the future successor to the leadership of the Debs clan, and the Debs clan was one of the top three clans of the entire Fenlai Kingdom.
“Quiet, quiet. "Road comfortably held Alice's hand.
But Alice could feel Kalan's hands filled with sweat.
"Dad .." Kalan turned to his father, Bernard, and looked at his mother. His parents loved him very much, which is why they were willing to spend eight million gold coins on behalf of Kalan. After all, even for the Debs clan, eight million gold coins was an enormous sum.
"Kalan, don't even think about it. The clan cannot possibly hand over ten million gold coins just for the sake of your fiancee. Bernard said, his face was very serious.
Kalan stunned. Even Alice turned her head to look at Bernard, her eyes filled with worry and slight pleas.
“We will act according to our previous discussion. "Bernard completely ignored Alice's silent request as he coldly uttered his judgment.
Kalan froze for a long time, while at her side, Alice clutched her hand tightly, looking into Kalan's eyes. Alice fully understood what Bernard meant by his words just now. Alice was very unwilling to accept this result.
Kalan glanced at Alice. He sighed helplessly, then slightly shook his head.
"Sister Kalan, I don't want to .." said Alice in a small voice.
Kalan held Alice's hand. He gently shook his head again. "There is no other way . Alice ... I am the heir to our clan. I must give consideration to the clan. I hope you are willing to sacrifice a little for me too. I Promise You that My Heart to You will never waver. ”
Alice remained silent.
Clan heir!
These five simple words guarantee that each act of Kalan will reflect the honor and glory of the Debs clan. Although Bernard was very affectionate and very affectionate towards his son, no matter what happened, he could not allow Alice to become Kalan's main wife.
Correct . There was no way she could be the headmaster's wife.
In other words, any child Alice wore in the future would not be able to become an heir, or be considered a direct descendant.
In fact, ever since the 'Resurrection From Dreams' had been seen by many, the Debs clan elders were constantly urging Kalan to hand over Alice. Even if Kalan insisted on marrying her, they did not expect Alice to be his main wife. But Kalan remained steadfast.
In the end, Bernard, the doting father, compromised. He decided that if they could buy this 'Resurrection From Dreams', then this matter would more or less end.
But from the looks of it …
"Sister Kalan!" Alice looked at Kalan, her eyes becoming moist. At the same time, he turned his head to look at the other members of the Debs clan. But at this moment, neither Kalan, Bernard, nor Kalan's mother, cared about Alice.
At that moment, Alice felt her heart turn cold.
He suddenly recalled everything he had experienced with Linley, how Linley had protected him and endlessly appreciated him. In the past, he had always accepted Linley's constant results to her just like that, but at this moment, how much he missed that feeling!
Raising his head, his gaze passed through the glass window to stare at the third level. All he could see was black glass.
“Ten million gold! Ten million gold! Anyone want to bid higher? ”The golden-haired man called out from the platform.
The man wearing a loose robe casually glanced around. And then, he directly spoke to the golden-haired auctioneer. “Hey, stop wasting time. Hurry up and start counting. "The nobles nearby all started laughing.
How could an auctioneer possibly obey the orders of one of the bidders below?
Based on their understanding of this golden-haired auctioneer, they knew he was someone who would continue to escalate the bidding war until his price reached an extremely high level.
But after hearing the words of the loose-robed man, the auctioneer seemed to have been hypnotized. Very naturally, he said, “Oke, then I will start counting! Three, two … "
"10. 1 million gold coins! "
An old-fashioned sounding voice sounded from one of the second-floor private rooms.
Everyone's attention turned to the booth. Even the man wearing the loose robe turned to stare at the booth in astonishment. In that second level booth, aside from the Debs clan, every clan present was one of the main clans scattered all over the world in the Yulan continent.
The wealth of the clan was much higher than the Debs clan.
“Whoah, so there's someone here who appreciates value. But increasing it by just 100,000 is a bit too stingy. 10. 3 million gold coins. "The loose-robed man said casually, grinning.
Linley and the others at the third level all noticed the man in a loose robe now, but from their current angle, they could only see the man from the side, instead, and cannot see his face clearly.
"Hmm?"
Cardinal Guillermo and Cardinal Lampson of the Radiant Church suddenly rose to their feet. Frowning on their faces, they walked to the end of the glass, carefully looking down at the loosely dressed man below.
Right at that moment …
The loose-robed man seemed to have discovered the whereabouts of the two Cardinals, as he raised his head upwards and glanced towards them.
"Him?"
The faces of the two Cardinals suddenly turned deathly pale.
Guillermo and Lampson exchanged glances, then they both shook their heads. In fact, the Radiant Church had already made up her mind about this auction. They had decided to spend an enormous amount of money to purchase this statue, and thus improve the relationship between them and Linley.
But after seeing this man, both Guillermo and Lampson secretly decided to change their actions.
Cardinal Lampson nodded as well. “I also don't want to irritate that madman. ”
Although they both referred to this person as a 'crazy person', the fear they felt towards him was fear etched into their bones. Both Lampson and Guillermo were well aware of how frightening the thirty or forty-year-old man was. Lampson, especially …
Because if it wasn't for this lunatic, Lampson probably wouldn't have had the chance to be promoted to the rank of Cardinal.
There were only five Cardinals at any time within the Radiant Church. Precisely because this lunatic had casually killed one of the Cardinals before, Lampson had the chance to be promoted to his current position. But even though he had killed a Cardinal, the Holy Emperor was still unwilling to become enemies with this madman.
"10. 4 million gold coins. "The old voice sounded once again from the second floor.
The loose-robed old man raised his head, glancing at him with a frown. “You are really annoying. 11 million gold coins. ”
“11 million, this man is willing to bid 11 million gold coins. Anyone want to bid higher? ”The golden-haired auction is getting excited. After all, even the 'Lion-Eyed Lion' statue, the largest of the Ten Works, was only worth 13 million.
On the third level, Guillermo asked Lampson calmly, “Lampson. Do you know which clan is located in that booth? They actually dared to fight with that madman? Are they bored of life? "
"Maia Director. "Lampson called Director Maia, sitting not too far away from them.
Director Maia is coming.
"Maia Director. Do you know which clan is located inside that booth? "Ask Lampson. “I am sure where the leader is a young woman. ”On the third floor, Lampson could naturally see people sitting on the sofa on the second floor.
As for the old man, he seemed to be the female servant.
Director Maia glanced at it, then laughed. "Mr Lampson. Mr. Guillermo. This young lady was a woman in the main line of inheritance for the Leon clan of the Yulan Empire. This booth was provided under the clan name Leon. ”
"Klan Leon?" Lampson and Guillermo were both shocked.
In the Yulan Empire, the most ancient Empire in the Yulan continent, the Leon clan was ranked fifth among the major clans. A clan that could enter the top five of the Yulan Empire was able to easily destroy the Debs clan.
Moreover, the majority of the descendants of the Leon clan all lived within the Yulan Empire, and thus in the Yulan Empire, they had an enormous network of influence.
“Guillermo, I believe that in our Ernst Institute, there is someone previously known as the number one genius in the Institute by the name of 'Dixie'. He seems to be from the Leon clan of the Yulan Empire, right? "Ask Lampson.
Guillermo was relatively more familiar with the affairs of the Ernst Institute.
"Yes, and not just Dixie. She also has a sister, whose name I can't remember. These two siblings asked for permission to study at our Ernst Institute. Just a few days ago, this Dixie signed up to graduate. “Guillermo directly reveals what he knows.
Lampson nodded as well.
“It looks like this girl is Dixie's younger sister. "Lampson looked towards the booth.
Inside Leon's booth on the second floor. Dressed in purple and blue, and sitting on the sofa, Delia had a calm expression on her face. Through the window, he stared at the statue, 'Awakening From the Dream'.
“Nona, stop fighting. The person below is not someone who can make you angry. "The old man started to grow panicked.
As one of the elite clans of the Yulan Empire, the Leon clan was very clear to various super experts as well as hidden powers. They knew very well that even though they were an elite clan, there were some people whom they were unable to offend.
For example....thirty or forty year old man below.
The old man knew very well that even though he himself was already four hundred years old, even before he was born, the loose-clothed man below saw as he did now.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Shaw [Xiu]. Please help me send this letter to him, okay? ”Delia took out a pen and quickly wrote a few words on a piece of paper, before giving it to this old man.
The old man received a piece of paper. Upon seeing the contents, he was stunned.
"Miss, you .. this ..." The old man was completely flabbergasted by this letter.
"Don't worry about that. Just leave this letter to him. "Delia did not hesitate in the least. The old man did, but after a while, he still left the booth and headed to the first floor.
"12 million gold coins!"
Delia's clear voice sounded from inside the room.
The man in loose clothes below frowned, and a terrifying aura seemed to gather between his furrowed brows. But right at this moment, the old man named 'Shaw' walked up to the loosely dressed man. After reaching his side, he respectfully bowed. "My lord, I am the servant of the Leon clan. This is the letter my mistress sent you. ”
Furrowing his brows in surprise, the loosely dressed man received the letter with curiosity.
"Uh .." After looking at the contents of the letter, the eyes of the loosely dressed man lit up, and then he started laughing.
“Good, well, I won't fight him, I won't fight him. ”The letter in the loose-robed man's hand instantly turned to dust, and then he sat back down, grinning. He even raised his head to stare at Delia, sitting on the sofa inside his room on the second floor.
Currently, within the third level of the auction hall.
After hearing a clear voice summoning the words '12 million gold', both Linley and Yale were stunned. The voice was too familiar. Linley had known the owner of the voice since the first day he had entered the Ernst Institute.
"It's Delia. "Yale said in amazement.
Linley immediately walked forward towards the glass, to a vantage point where he could see into Delia's booth. Indeed, Delia was dressed in conservative violet clothes and sat on the sofa, staring at the statue, 'Awakening From the Dream'.
"Three ... two .. one ..." "Bang!"
The golden-haired man slammed the hammer, then exclaimed, "Congratulations to the Leon family for using 12 million gold coins to win this auction and obtain this statue of Master Linley. I am now honored to announce that this statue, 'Awakening From the Dream', has the third highest price among the Ten Works. Only Master Hoover's 'Singed Maned Singed-eyed Lion' and Master Proulx's 'Hope' had ratings exceeding 'Awakening From the Dream'. ”
The entire auction hall began to be filled with commotion, and raucous applause could also be heard.
But Linley continued to stand there, next to the window on the third level, staring at Delia. And then, he turned to look at Alice, sitting at another booth. These two women were sitting on the sofa, but on Delia's face, there was a slight smile, while Alice's face was out of color.
