Everyone seemed to be on adrenaline, as soon as the auctioneer finished announcing the price, they feverishly began bidding, all these elegantly dressed people, who considered themselves superior, were arguing with flushed faces.
The price of the scripture soared crazily, and soon the faces of those with inadequate financial ability began to look unpleasant.
Raina North’s face also looked unpleasant, she coldly instructed Jonah Rivers, "Check out why the Revitalizing Pill was replaced by the ’Water Injection Scripture’."
Seeing Raina North’s unpleasant expression, Jonah Rivers dared not provoke her further and immediately stood up to investigate the situation.
Lune also noticed something wrong with Raina North’s expression and looked at her with some concern.
Jonah Rivers quickly returned to the box.
"What’s going on exactly?"
Jonah Rivers glanced at Raina North and said sympathetically, "Our original information was not wrong, the Revitalizing Pill was initially planned to be the finale auction item, but before the auction started, the Lord of the Dark Tower suddenly withheld the Revitalizing Pill and left the more precious ’Water Injection Scripture’ to auction instead."
"Precious my ass!" Raina North gritted her teeth, her expression twisted.
Not to mention the ’Water Injection Scripture’, even if it was the Heshibi, regarded as a national treasure of Veridia for millennia, it wouldn’t be as precious as the Revitalizing Pill in her eyes.
After all, the Revitalizing Pill could save her grandfather’s life, no unparalleled skills in the ’Water Injection Scripture’ could bring back her grandfather’s life.
Upon hearing this, the Third Elder immediately declared his loyalty, "Does the Alliance Hierarch want the Revitalizing Pill? I’ll personally negotiate with the Lord of the Dark Tower, no matter the cost, I’ll get the Revitalizing Pill for the Alliance Hierarch."
Though it’s very likely the negotiation will fail, with his status, he wouldn’t face life and death risks, so missing such a good opportunity to show loyalty would be foolish.
"No need." Raina North refused.
Jonah Rivers was very surprised, others might not know why Raina North wanted the Revitalizing Pill, but he was clear on it, he couldn’t believe Raina North could give up so easily.
Sure enough, he soon heard Raina North say, "Since the Lord of the Dark Tower is unwilling to auction it, I might as well go and seize it."
The other three: "..."
As expected of Orion, his solutions are really appealing.
Lune immediately drew the scimitar from his waist, the light in his eyes burning with fervor.
The Third Elder was also extremely excited, eagerly asking, "Alliance Hierarch, when do we go to rob the Lord of the Dark Tower?"
"N...now?" The Third Elder was so shocked he almost bit his tongue, "Alliance Hierarch, shouldn’t we go back and plan carefully, then gather our troops and choose an auspicious date to act?"
Raina North glanced over coldly, asking, "So how many troops do you think we need to gather, and how do we plan to rob the Lord of the Dark Tower?"
The Third Elder seriously contemplated, then realized no matter how many troops were gathered, or how thorough the plan was, it would be useless.
As the saying goes, in the face of absolute power, any schemes are paper tigers.
The Lord of the Dark Tower possessed this absolute power.
At this moment, Raina North already stood up and walked out.
Lune leapt up and the Third Elder followed suit, just as they were about to go together, they heard Raina North say, "You don’t need to follow, I can handle it alone."
"Orion, I want to go fight with you." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novᴇlfire.net
The Third Elder also said, "Yes, Alliance Hierarch, let’s go together, at least for backup."
Although the Third Elder knew that if they went, they’d end up as cannon fodder for the Lord of the Dark Tower, but being beaten by the Lord of the Dark Tower is still a matter of pride, right?
