Chapter 51 The beginning
Run! ...
Finally, when he was completely exhausted, Chris was tripped by a branch under his feet, fell heavily, and hit a tree.
"hahahahhahahahaha…"
Chris laughed nervously.
However, what flowed from his eyes were no longer simple tears, but bright red blood and tears.
Lying on the ground helplessly, Chris' eyes were lifeless.
Once, Nilu jokingly said to him: "Chris, it's great that there are two of us."
"Two people?"
"Yes, if one of us is lost, we still have the other one. The hope of the village will not disappear. If we encounter an irresistible danger one day, you must leave me behind without hesitation."
"Sister Nilu, stop joking."
……
His fists kept hitting the big tree beside him, staining the bark red. Chris seemed to be unconscious until he could no longer swing his fists. He fell down powerlessly, staring blankly at the dim sky.
"Sister Nilu..."
Chris was still crying quietly, and even had the thought of committing suicide for Nilu.
It should be me who died, not Sister Nilu. She should be alive.
I hate my own weakness, my own incompetence, my own timidity, my own cowardice, and my own existence as a "living being"...
Get stronger! Get stronger! Get stronger! Get stronger! Get stronger! Get stronger!
Chris's heart had never felt so deep as the abyss. He was determined to kill all those zombies!
Using his sword as a crutch, Chris slowly stood up. With an expressionless face, he moved towards the outside of the Sloda Forest.
But... "Bang!" A dull sound of footsteps came from behind.
Before he took two steps, a huge shadow covered Chris's entire body through the moonlight.
A familiar feeling of fear, a familiar roar, and a piece of very familiar lace fabric falling from the gap between the monster's teeth. Chris caught the piece of fabric, and his bloody hands gradually clenched...
"Sister Nilu!"————
……
"Is it solved?" A strange voice sounded in the darkness.
"Just two little ladybugs."
"Well, try not to let those people from Rose Lowe find out too early. The leader's plan cannot fail this time."
"Understood~"
"Fifty-two thousand gold coins! Deal! Congratulations, sir. You will surely become a magician admired by everyone in the future!"
As Fuli's hammer fell, the fate of this super rare elemental fruit was also determined.
The person who bought it was a well-known collector. I heard that he was extremely wealthy and had a huge family tycoon as his backer, so it was not surprising that he had such huge financial resources.
It seems that he is quite ambitious as he spent such a huge price to get the elemental fruit.
After the battle of elemental fruits ended, the entire venue fell silent.
All the people stopped any movement at the same time and cast their scorching eyes towards Fu Lide.
The main event is finally here.
More than 80% of the people who came here were attracted by the divine relics. Neither the goddess song tickets nor the elemental fruits were comparable to the divine relics. "Next, it's time for everyone to witness the miracle!"
Fu Lide opened his hands and said excitedly: "It is known as the miracle among miracles, a forbidden area that humans can never replicate, and a miracle left by the gods!"
"That is - a divine relic!"
Dozens of guards appeared beside the original meeting platform. They had solemn faces and held weapons in their hands, standing guard around Fulide.
The guards responsible for protecting the safety of the venue also raised their spirits to the extreme at this moment, paying attention to any disturbance.
Even the members of the 'Glorious Knights' in the front row were in anticipation and were ready for battle.
A transparent magic light curtain rose up on the spot, wrapping the entire stage tightly. Anyone who wanted to get close to Fulide had to break the magic barrier first. This showed how much effort Starlight Trading Company put in.
“Wow, that’s scary…”
Xia opened her mouth widely, expressing her admiration for the protective power of Starlight Trading Company.
She could feel how huge the magic power was in the magic light curtain, and she was afraid that even the high-level magic would take a while to blow up.
"Is this a powerful magic?" Luo Qiu took the opportunity to ask.
"Of course. This is a magic barrier set up by several magic masters. Magic below the advanced level cannot break it." Leticia seemed to know something about this.
"Really? No wonder the magical aura is so strong." It was also the first time Xia saw this kind of magic barrier.
"Oh..." Luo Qiu nodded thoughtfully.
It seems that the power system in the other world is much weaker than I imagined, but I can't jump to conclusions for the time being. After all, too few people have come into contact with it, and it's just the tip of the iceberg and can't explain anything.
People who attended the auction were talking about it and speculating on the purpose of Starlight Trading Company's doing so.
"I heard that the Starlight Trading Company was attacked a few days ago. It seems to be true. That's why so many forces were mobilized to guard it."
"Starlight Company is making a big fuss out of nothing. Who dares to cause trouble here when the 'Glorious Knight' is here?"
"But if it is really a divine relic, then it is necessary to do this."
……
"Please open your eyes and witness the birth of a miracle!"
After Fulide finished speaking, colorful light flickered in front of Fulide, and majestic music was played from the amplification magic, as if welcoming the arrival of God.
"This is too fake." Luo Qiu laughed dumbly. He added colorful lighting effects to the beam of light of the teleportation magic, and it was so deceptive. It really looked like the real thing.
Floating in the air was a suit of golden armor.
The dense golden patterns covered the entire armor, which looked extremely mysterious. Two intertwined divine swords were engraved on the chest of the armor, and the shoulder parts were covered with dense thorns, each of which was extremely round, and the golden luster was constantly flickering. It was obvious at first glance that it was an extraordinary item. What was even more surprising was that the magical aura emanating from the armor itself was much stronger than the magic barrier of the Starlight Trading Company. Although there was a barrier blocking it, anyone with a little ability could feel the powerful magical aura coming towards them.
After the appearance of the 'Golden Armor of Thorns', Fuli's tone changed with excitement, and even his old face turned red, making people worry whether his old body could hold on until the end of the auction.
"You all have seen it, right? This is the final item of this auction, the supreme object left by the gods!"
"Every part of it is meticulously crafted with miracles that humans cannot achieve. Only the legendary gods can achieve such amazing craftsmanship!"
"Whether it's the material, the magic inscriptions, or the refining method, it's all of the highest level among all the known divine relics! It deserves to be called the strongest divine relic!"
"The true name of this divine relic is 'Glorious Golden Thorn Armor'!"
"Puff!" Luo Qiu couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of anger in the dissatisfied eyes of the two women beside him.
