Chapter 41 President, City Lord
"Mr. Drayton!"

Just as the four of them entered the auction hall, a voice that sounded familiar to Luo Qiu was heard.

"Corriveau, you guys are here too?"

The person who came was little Irene's father, Corriveau, one of the highest-level silver-level adventurers in Roserowe.

He hadn't changed much in the past few days, except that there were three men and one woman following him. They should be the other members of his adventure team "Monster Hunter". However, he didn't seem to bring his daughter with him.

As a senior adventurer in Roselowe, Corriveau was somewhat familiar with the president of the Adventurer's Guild.

"This time, President Ferro hired my team to protect the safety of the auction site."

"I see." Drayton nodded thoughtfully, then said jokingly with a smile: "Don't forget to work when you are working part-time. I remember that you haven't delivered the tasks from the past two days."

After hearing what Drayton said, Corrivor had a bitter look on his face: "For some reason, the monsters in the Sloda Forest have disappeared in the past two days. We have been searching around the area for a long time but can't find the monster."

Drayton's expression also became a little serious, and he said, "Have you also encountered this situation? In the past few days, many adventurers have come to report that the monsters and monsters in the Sloda Forest have suddenly disappeared. It seems that we need to arrange people to investigate deeper."

"Um...Lord Luo Qiu?" When Corrivo was about to say something, he suddenly noticed Luo Qiu beside him and exclaimed involuntarily.

"Do you know each other?" Drayton asked curiously.

Shia and Letilia also looked over with interest.

Both of them are still very interested in Luo Qiu's past.

"Lord Luo Qiu once saved my hometown." Corrivo said with deep gratitude.

"Okay, okay, it's time for us to go in." Luo Qiu said with a raised eyebrow.

As if noting Luo Qiu's impatience, Corriveau and the others gave way.

"Corrivor, we'll go over first." Drayton greeted the adventurers of the 'Demon Hunt'.

"President, Master Luo Qiu, please come in."

When the four of them walked into the auction hall, most of the seats were already occupied, but there were still some empty seats in the front row of VIP seats. Only those who held an invitation letter from Starlight Trading Company were eligible to sit in these seats.

"Leah, just sit with Mr. Luo Qiu and Xia. It will be easier for you young people to communicate with each other."

Drayton winked at his daughter and left.

"Dad..." Letilia stared blankly at her father who had abandoned her like that.

"Letilia, come and sit down. Why are you still standing there?" Xia rolled her eyes and pulled Letilia to Luo Qiu's side with a smile, forcing her to sit down, while she herself sat on the other side of Luo Qiu.

"Hehe..." A strange smile appeared on Xia's face.

"why are you laughing?"

Xia glanced at Letilia who was fidgeting on the other side and smiled, "Nothing."

Luo Qiu was too lazy to guess what the girl was thinking and began to look around the auction house.

The auction hall was quite large, and it seemed that the recent turmoil had no impact on it. There were also a large number of guards. In the outermost row of the auction hall, there was a sword-wielding guard every two or three meters, and there were even more people deployed in the VIP area.

There were even several magicians standing solemnly at several key locations, with faint fluctuations of magic all over their bodies.

This shows that after the invasion of the men in black, Ferro greatly strengthened the defense of Starlight Trading Company.

Although all the members of the 'Glorious Knights' were here today, Ferro couldn't help but feel a little worried when he thought of the name of the mastermind behind the scenes. That organization was too scary, even the head office of the Starlight Trading Company might not be its opponent, let alone a small branch of Rose Lowe.

In fact, Ferro had been struggling over whether to cancel the auction or postpone it for a while, but due to pressure from all sides, today's auction was finally held as scheduled.

All the guards of Starlight Trading Company have been dispatched. Together with the hired adventure teams such as the Demon Hunters and the final trump card, the Glorious Knights, it should be more than enough to maintain the order of an auction.

"Ferro, why are you so sad? Are you still thinking about what happened that day?"

The person who asked this question was Drayton, the president of the Adventurer's Guild.

Drayton and Ferro are the presidents of the Adventurers' Guild and Starlight Trading Company respectively. Their identities and status are almost the same. They often meet in Roselowe for work, so they have a good personal relationship.

"You've heard about it, too." Ferro rubbed his temples worriedly and said, "Indeed, although some of the damage outside has been repaired with restoration magic, these are not the root cause of the problem. The key is still those people."

"Revelation...right." Drayton said in a low voice.

Ferro nodded slightly.

Drayton frowned and said, "If it's really those guys, I'm afraid we're in real trouble. They're all crazy."

"To be honest, I didn't expect the appearance of the divine relic would attract those people. If we had known this, we wouldn't have auctioned off the divine relic in such a hurry." Ferro said with a wry smile.

"Don't worry. With the members of the Glorious Knights here, at least the worst consequences won't happen," Drayton consoled.

"Who knows? Besides, this time the commotion is so big that even the city lord is coming."

"Lord City Lord?" Drayton said with a smile, "It's been a long time since the three of us got together."

"It's been a while indeed, Ferro, Drayton. It looks like you two are doing well lately."

A deep middle-aged male voice suddenly came, and Ferro and Drayton were startled and stood up immediately.

"Lord City Lord."

"Lord City Lord."

The visitor was none other than the city lord of Roserowe, the Count of the Kendenia Empire, Jolin Constance.

Although Drayton and Ferro were both giants in Roserowe, to some extent, they both needed to rely on official authority to continue operating, so they still respected the highest-level leaders of Roserowe.

Qiao Lin laughed, walked over to Ferro's side and sat down, saying, "What are you two doing standing there? Sit down, the auction is about to start."

"Lord City Lord! Why did you come here alone? You know it's not safe here." Seeing that Qiao Lin had no guards with him, Ferro said anxiously.

"What are you talking about?" Qiao Lin glanced at him and said, "There is no place in Roserowe that is safer than your place today."

Ferro was stunned. Indeed, with the presence of the 'Glorious Knights' here, Starlight Trading Company was much safer than the City Lord's Mansion. The guards and soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion did not have any masters who could be compared with the 'Glorious Knights'.

Drayton smiled brightly and said, "Okay, Ferro, don't let your imagination run wild. There are so many strong people here today. Even if it is that organization, they may not come to cause trouble at this time."

"That's right, why are you panicking? If anything happens, I, the city lord, am here." Qiao Lin smiled slightly.

That’s right, our city lord is also a powerful magician. Although we don’t know his specific strength, as a graduate of the Imperial Magic Academy, he must not be too weak.

Ferro sighed and sat back. He was under a lot of pressure. Not only the city lord and the president of the Adventurer's Guild came to the auction, but also many dignitaries from other cities, and even nobles from the imperial capital and priests from the Holy See. These people were basically worth millions of gold, and if they bumped into or rubbed against each other, it would cause a commotion.

But now Ferro can only pray that Apocalypse will not invade again.
