Chapter 101: War Begins
"Ten thousand guinas!"
Wu Chang, the Vice President of the God of War Guild, looked around and shouted.
"Who else?"
"Seller No. 109 offers 10,000 gold nas, is there a higher price?
This was a castle made of blue steel and a village. If you bought it, you could become a new noble, and even have a good chance of being canonized as a noble by Lord Earl Red Maple, becoming a new knight, or even a baron.
Is there a higher price?
Ten thousand gold coins, first time!"
clang!
The crisp sound of the wooden hammer hitting the ground rang out, echoing in the spacious auction house.
"Ten thousand gold nuggets, for the second time!"
clang!
"Ten thousand gold nuggets, for the third time!"
clang!
"Deal! Congratulations to No. 109 for successfully bidding for the Vedrina Castle and its attached village located on the outskirts of Red Maple City for 10,000 gold coins!"
Before the auctioneer finished speaking, almost everyone turned their eyes to Wu Chang who was standing there.
This is true for both players and members of NPC adventure groups.
Wuchang clasped his hands together, looked around, and said with a smile.
"Thank you all for your kindness. I am Wuchang from the Ares Guild. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to ask. I will definitely not refuse if I can."
However, at this moment, there was a loud noise at the door, and the door of the room was kicked open by someone.
bump!
A tall and strong warrior wearing heavy armor and with a grim face glanced and asked a thin man with a monkey-like face next to him.
"Which one is the thief!"
A cold voice sounded, and the man next to him glanced over, and his eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Wuchang in the middle.
“It was him, it was him, he stole ten thousand guineas from our Lord.
And that one, that one, and that one, stole thousands of gold coins from several adults!"
At this moment, almost all the vice presidents who had just quoted prices were pointed out, and their faces looked a little ugly, but judging from their reactions, they were obviously not very surprised.
Before anyone knew it, the auctioneer and the people from the auction house had disappeared.
Other people in the venue also left one after another. The soldiers who were blocking the door did not stop them, but as soon as the players wanted to go out, they were stopped and then kicked in.
The adventurer team and some professionals who went out had extremely ugly expressions on their faces, but they didn't say anything. They silently clenched their weapons and left without saying a word.
The players in the auction house gradually gathered together. Wuchang walked in front, and the others looked at each other and followed silently.
Thump thump, thump, the sound of unhurried footsteps rang out on the stairs. The soldiers standing next to the stairs heard the sound and moved away from the stairs and waited quietly.
After a while, a group of people with proud faces, fair skin, tall and short, fat and thin appeared in front of Wuchang and others.
The leader raised his head slightly and looked at Wuchang arrogantly.
Wuchang smiled and said softly.
"Your Excellency Lord Larsen, and other barons, what do you mean by this?"
Viscount Larsen, who was in the lead, raised his head and glanced at Wuchang and others.
"Ten thousand guineas were missing from my vault. I heard you stole it?"
As he spoke, a greedy look flashed in his eyes.
"I lost five thousand."
"I lost three thousand. I must catch this damn thief."
The nobles looked at Wuchang and others with mocking smiles.
"Someone, catch these thieves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, soldiers approached from all directions and surrounded Wuchang and others.
"Since you insist on having your own way, be prepared for retaliation."
“Everyone, kill each other offline, don’t let them catch you!
puff!"
Wuchang said that just as he finished speaking, someone next to him stabbed a knife into his stomach.
President Li looked very happy.
"Well, I've been wanting to do this for a long time...Pfft!"
A clean and sharp stab of the knife hit his heart, and when he turned around, he saw Wuchang grinning.
"Stop them! Catch them, don't let them die!"
Viscount Larsen shuddered when he saw the bloody scene, then he reacted and shouted loudly.
Unfortunately, it was too late, and none of the guild players present survived.
Seeing this, the other nobles nearby hurriedly asked.
"What if we don't catch anyone?"
Viscount Larsen's face was gloomy.
“There’s not a single professional here, so it’s useless to arrest them.
Close all their shops, move their goods away, go out of the city and kill all their main forces several times.
Then arrest the leader and put him in the dungeon!"
"Should we take their bodies away?"
"It's useless. They will just resurrect where they are. We must catch them alive and lock them up in the dungeon."
Viscount Larsen said with a gloomy expression.
"My Lord Viscount, why don't we go get our lost Kinnas?"
A noble next to him rolled his eyes and a greedy smile appeared on his face.
Viscount Larsen's expression relaxed a lot after hearing this.
"good."
A group of people walked directly towards the place where the deposit was stored. Each person stored the deposit in a different place, and other adventurers had basically already taken it away.
Although the warriors were guarding, no one dared to stop these adventurers from taking the deposit.
"My Lord Viscount, this is it."
The man from the auction house had a fawning smile on his face and opened the door as if to seek credit, revealing the neatly stacked boxes inside.
The boxes were opened one by one, revealing the yellow copper nas inside.
Viscount Larsen smiled when he saw this and reached into the box, but the smile froze as soon as his hand entered the box.
The hand suddenly opened!
The copper nas fluttered in the air and fell to the ground with a tinkling sound, revealing the neatly stacked pebbles underneath.
He walked to the next box and opened it. Pebbles!
Next box, pebbles!
Everyone was stunned. None of the bags were filled with money. Only a shallow layer of copper was on the surface, and the rest was just pebbles.
The people from the auction house started to tremble with their legs when they saw this. Beads of sweat the size of beans kept dripping down their foreheads, soaking their underwear.
Viscount Larsen tried hard to suppress his anger, and the faces of the other nobles froze instantly.
The angry Viscount Larsen ran directly to the other room, opened the box, and pushed it inside.
Under the thin layer of copper was a layer of soil.
In the next room, underneath the thin copper nanostructures were actually pieces of iron, and there seemed to be a piece of paper mixed in with the iron.
Viscount Larsen picked it up subconsciously and read it, but when he saw the contents of the note clearly, his blood boiled and he fell down immediately with a blackout.
The note slipped from his hand and slowly fell to the ground, with a few words written on it.
"You idiot, you still want money? How can you think so beautifully when you are ugly?
Go eat shit!"
"Viscount Larsen!"
"Viscount Larsen, wake up!"
Amid the noise, Viscount Larsen struggled to wake up. Instead of getting up, he looked at the ceiling and the faces of the nobles around him and yelled at the top of his lungs.
"Start the war! Start the war!!!"
