Chapter 279: Important Person

The son of the Prime Minister was very proud. At that moment, the golden armor secretly told Wei Huo to help it.

Wei Huo said calmly while the son of the Prime Minister was feeling proud, “A Legendary-level soul crystal.”

After saying that, Wei Huo took out a golden soul crystal. The soul crystal emitted a terrifying domain aura that stunned everyone present.

The female First Knight stared at the golden soul crystal in his hand. The son of the Prime Minister said in exasperation, “Who are you? Why are you bidding on this armor?”

No one present knew Wei Huo. They had not even noticed his presence before he had spoken. They were thus stunned when Wei Huo took out the golden crystal.

Upon hearing the question of the Prime Minister’s son, Wei Huo said, “Why? Can’t I buy it and give it to someone else?”

The son of the Prime Minister gritted his teeth and said, “It’s a soul crystal. Why are you…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the female First Knight said, “A Legendary-level soul crystal is the most precious item of a Legendary-level creature. This crystal hides the secret to becoming a Legendary creature. It’s a priceless treasure.”

It was obvious that the female First Knight was tempted by the crystal. She was at the Epic stage, but she had no idea how to reach the Legendary stage. If she had such a crystal to comprehend, she might have a chance to enter the Legendary stage.

The golden armor was silent for a moment before saying, “Brother Huo, now that you took out your golden soul crystal, she might not like me anymore.”

The son of the Prime Minister was really angry. He was proud and arrogant, and he had never been this angry before. He was about to flare up on the spot, but his servant tugged at his sleeve and whispered to him, “Someone who can take out a Legendary-level soul crystal is definitely not an ordinary person. We should investigate this thoroughly. If the other party is not strong, we can snatch it in the future.”

The son of the Prime Minister calmed down unexpectedly after hearing his servant’s advice. Wei Huo took a few more looks at him. The angry man calmed down after hearing his servant’s words. Was he too controlling, or did he trust the servant?

The son of the Prime Minister stopped talking. He sat down and stared at Wei Huo coldly.

Everyone was used to the behavior of the Prime Minister’s son. The Prime Minister had nine children, and each of them was different. Some were humble and eager to learn, some were arrogant, some were smart, some were stupid, some were cute, and some were silly.

In the palace, the son of the Prime Minister had always been the topic of conversation after meals.

The auctioneer wiped his sweat and asked Wei Huo, “Sir, are you sure you want to trade a Legendary soul crystal for this armor? If you agree, you will have to ask a professional to appraise this crystal. After all, there might be a mistake…”

Wei Huo interrupted him. “Who would you want to appraise it? Who can really detect the authenticity of Legendary creatures?”

The auction house owner was stunned. He was just buying time out of habit, but he had neglected this crucial point. This was a Legendary creature. Who was qualified to appraise it?

However, Wei Huo said, “Since the female First Knight is an Epic-ranked creature, she should have the right and ability to appraise this crystal. Why don’t you let the female First Knight appraise it?”

The auctioneer, who was stunned, looked at the female First Knight.

The female First Knight stood up and said, “I’m willing to serve you.”

She was very curious about this soul crystal. It was not an ordinary golden soul gem. It was a refined soul crystal that could be used directly. However, any creatures below the Legendary stage would probably explode and die if they used it.

At that moment, Wei Huo said, “Boss, give the armor to the female First Knight. I want to give it to her.”

Everyone present was stunned. Even the female First Knight was stunned for a second. The son of the Prime Minister was dumbfounded. No one had expected this turn of events to occur so quickly.

The golden armor sent a voice transmission to Wei Huo. “Brother Huo, you’re really impressive. You pulled off my plan easily. However, I have to ask you a favor. I heard that the Queen of this country is in control of two Legendary pieces of equipment. Besides, she’s a Legendary creature herself. I was worried about that, so I took advantage of the time when the Queen was away. However, since you’re here, I have nothing to worry about. No matter how strong the Queen is, she’s no match for you considering your Dao Scripture. Let’s take down this city in one go. The two Legendary pieces of equipment will be yours!”

Wei Huo asked, “What are you going to do after taking over this city?”

Upon hearing Wei Huo’s question, the golden armor felt a sense of pride. It lifted its head and said smugly, “I want to take down this city and use it as a foundation to build my technological empire. I will then educate the country and recruit talented people. I will build an Academy of Science, a Research Institute, and a University of Technology. I want to use this city as a foundation to help me prove my Dao through science!”

The golden armor’s tone was arrogant. Unfortunately, Wei Huo was the only one listening to it. Wei Huo did not look surprised at all.

The golden armor felt a little awkward as it said, “That’s my plan. If there are any flaws, please correct me.”

Wei Huo looked at the golden armor. It had to be said that this golden armor was really different from the one he had met before. It seemed like it had indeed gained something from comprehending the Dao.

Everyone was stunned. In the end, the female First Knight said in disbelief, “Really? You want to give me this Legendary armor?”

Wei Huo looked at the female First Knight with his golden eyes glowing. “I’ll give you this armor, but I have a condition.”

The female First Knight’s surprise gradually disappeared. She frowned and asked, “What’s your condition?”

Wei Huo asked, “As the First Knight of the Queen of England, what do you know about the Queen?”

Wei Huo’s golden eyes saw through everything. He went on to ask, “Also, where did you get the Demon Sword on your back?”

The female First Knight took half a step back and made a defensive gesture. Her hand had already touched the sword’s hilt.

However, at that moment, Wei Huo closed his eyes and his oppressive gaze disappeared.

He had already obtained the information he wanted. Unfortunately, the female First Knight did not know much. Wei Huo had found out everything through her mental waves.

He could now detect other people’s mental waves and understand their thoughts. However, it was difficult to detect some memories hidden deep in one’s mind unless one’s emotions fluctuated greatly.

Just now, when the female First Knight’s emotions had been in turmoil, Wei Huo’s golden eyes had seen everything. He had seen the depths of the female First Knight’s heart and her subconscious. Wei Huo had also seen some details that the female First Knight had not noticed.

They were the details of the female First Knight’s interaction with the Queen of England. She had not interacted much with the Queen. Wei Huo saw just one scene. The First Knight knelt on one knee and lowered her head deep. An extremely powerful and dazzling figure appeared in front of her. She did not dare lift her head or look at it.
