Chapter 277: Plan

Wei Huo looked at the sword that carried the aura of the abyss. There was a familiar aura on the sword that Wei Huo could feel. That aura was the same as the aura of nirvanic extermination. It seemed like it came from the abyss and the Underworld and it carried an extremely terrifying vibe.

However, it was weird that the female First Knight of the kingdom was carrying such a ferocious sword on her back.

Wei Huo suddenly felt that there were many secrets hidden in the Western Continent. Although he was sure that Lu Qiqi was likely the Queen of England, he did not know what Lu Qiqi had experienced over the past hundreds of years. What kind of heritage had she found?

It was also suspicious that the Black Dragon Nidhogg had yet to appear.

Wei Huo had already sent a message to Zhou Song and Xiao Bin. He made them wait on the spot and target the inconspicuous Lord of England so that they could gradually accumulate power and strengthen their forces.

The arrival of the female First Knight stopped a crowd from gathering. The people who had been blocking the road in circles had indeed affected the traffic. If they blocked the road, others would not be able to pass.

However, as soon as the female First Knight arrived, they scattered. This was enough to show the female First Knight’s prestige in the city.

Behind the female First Knight were seven to eight attendants. They were riding ordinary brown horses and were all female. Each of the attendants was carrying a weapon. Some of them were carrying crossbows, some were carrying short swords, and some were carrying huge swords or hammers.

The seven to eight attendants were all Rare-ranked creatures. Every single one of them was powerful. They could obtain the title of a Knight if they went to another city alone. He had not expected them to be willing to become the female First Knight’s attendants.

That was the information Wei Huo had obtained. If one wanted to become a Knight in this city, one had to pledge their loyalty to the Queen. A Knight was not qualified to appoint someone else as a Knight. That was why Knights could only recruit attendants. Usually, they were called squires.

The status of these squires was higher than the status of ordinary people. Some ordinary Knights did not even dare to be arrogant when they saw them.

The female First Knight led the way toward the auction house. Many people followed her. They wanted to see who would obtain the Legendary armor.

Wei Huo followed the crowd and the female First Knight. Gradually, a large group of female Knights appeared on the street. Many of them wanted to see the female First Knight’s beauty. Based on the Western Continent’s aesthetics, the female First Knight was indeed beautiful. She also emitted a domineering aura that attracted the attention of Western men.

Before long, they finally arrived at the entrance of the auction house. A cordon had been pulled up outside the entrance. Many soldiers were guarding the place. No one was allowed to enter without an invitation.

The auction house was a tall building. It was gray in color, and there was a red carpet at the door. An old man over 50 years old was welcoming people at the door. He immediately welcomed the female First Knight.

“Good afternoon, Your Excellency Siyar Mikairis, First Knight of the Kingdom. Your presence brings light to my humble auction house.”

No matter which country was mentioned, he would always say polite and flattering words. The owner of the auction house was very good at talking. He used several English idioms in a row. If they were translated into Mandarin, they would probably translate to the words above.

The female First Knight nodded and walked into the auction house with her attendants. Her purpose was obvious. She was there for the Legendary armor.

The owner welcomed the female First Knight in. He seemed to have come specially to welcome her. After they entered, other invited people entered one after another. However, even more people were kept outside because they did not have an invitation.

Wei Huo was sandwiched between two people with an invitation. He did not even use his Concealment Skill before entering the auction house. This was not the first time he was doing this. He had entered a movie theater alone before the time halt. At a young age, he had avoided paying to enter Disneyland.

Wei Huo walked into the auction hall. The outside and the inside of the auction hall were two different colors. The outside was gray, but the interior was dazzling. The tables and chairs were all inlaid with gold, and the armrests were sparkling. The servants’s clothes were all decorated with golden silk.

Everyone who entered the auction hall was either rich or noble. They were all over 30 years old and had rosy cheeks, fair skin, and fat bodies. Their every move exuded a rich aura. It was impossible to spot an ordinary person like Wei Huo.

Wei Huo walked around and finally found a seat. He had come to see what the golden armor was up to.

Soon, the owner of the auction house walked up to the auction stage, which was made of wooden planks. When he walked up, it produced creaking sounds. He was holding a small golden hammer in his hand. When he walked in front of the small stage in the auction house, he loudly told everyone inside, “Esteemed Knights, nobles, and rich merchants, I believe everyone has heard that my auction house will be auctioning a Legendary-level armor today. The owner of this item did not reveal their name. However, this seller has set a few conditions. I want to explain them to everyone present.”

The people in the auction hall quietened down. A few nobles who had been resting with their eyes closed opened their eyes. The female First Knight stared at the auction house owner. This attention made the auction owner feel pressured. However, he still said, “Per the seller’s request, firstly, this Legendary-level armor will be displayed as the first item. Secondly, the owner hopes that this armor will be sold to a lady. Thirdly, the people participating in the auction can use anything they have to participate, such as money, magical crystals, real estate, equipment, slaves, and even titles.”

Many people in the auction hall frowned.

The only ones who were calm were Wei Huo and the female First Knight. At that moment, the female First Knight spoke. Her voice was pleasant but firm as she said, “Let the auction begin!”

There was an unquestionable tone in her voice. Everyone present looked at her and saw a determined look in her eyes.

The few nobles present frowned. They did not want to give up the armor. After all, it was a set of armor and not a weapon. If they could obtain it, no existence below the Epic stage would be able to hurt them.

At that moment, the auction house owner finally said, “Then, the auction shall begin. Please take a look at the first item.”

A set of armor was lifted by four to five people. The armor emitted a golden light and a domain power spread out, instantly filling the entire auction hall. Everyone was shocked. They all felt the domain power. Due to this domain power, they even thought of giving up everything and taking off their clothes to run naked in the sunset.

At that moment, only Wei Huo was smiling. Even the female First Knight was stunned.

It was indeed the golden armor. Wei Huo recognized it.
