Chapter 54: Fulide's Request
Dak's desperate gamble did have a great effect.
After all, Dark could only take out so many gold coins. If the priest of the Holy See only gave him one thousand more gold coins, he would have to give it up no matter how unwilling he was.
It depends on whether the last straw that breaks the camel's back will appear.
The entire place fell into deathly silence, and everyone's eyes were strangely fixed on the priest from the Holy See.
Even though he became the focus of everyone's attention, the priest remained calm and composed. He just moved his mouth but did not raise the price again. It seemed that the price offered by Dark had exceeded his expectations.
"150,000 gold coins! Deal!"
As Fulide dropped the hammer, the auction ended and the divine relic fell into the hands of Dark Eroyeken, a noble from the imperial capital.
Even though it was completely over, when everyone left, there were still many people discussing the auction. Whether it was the magic of the divine relics, the actions of the glory-level adventurers, or the lavish spending of the rich from the imperial capital, these would probably become the hottest topics in Rose Lowe for some time to come.
"I'll go pay."
After saying this, he ran in a certain direction. It seemed that he was going to trade tickets for the goddess singer.
"You're walking so fast." Luo Qiu smacked his lips.
"Wait for me!" Leticia rushed over immediately.
It seemed that those tickets were bought by the two of them together. The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Luo Qiu was still a little uncomfortable.
But he should also go to welfare to get the money.
"Where should I go to find that old man?" Luo Qiu looked around speechlessly.
There were people everywhere, and every place was packed with people. Everyone was waiting for the elevator to go downstairs.
"Are we going to that old man's office?"
The consignment place was downstairs, and Luo Qiu felt that this was the only place he could go.
Just when Luo Qiu was at a loss, a waiter from Starlight Trading Company came towards him.
"Sir, Lord Foley wants you to come over for a moment."
"Oh, lead the way." Luo Qiu tapped his chin lightly. It seemed that the old man had not forgotten him yet.
Led by the waiter in black, the two walked around for more than five minutes before Luo Qiu was led to the door of a room.
"Master Fulide is inside." The waiter bowed politely.
After the waiter left, Luo Qiu knocked on the door.
"Come in." Fu Lide's old voice came from the room.
Although the voice was loud, it was still easy to hear a hint of deep fatigue in it. Organizing such a grand auction was indeed a considerable burden for Fu Lide now.
Luo Qiu walked into the room and after a quick look he was struck by the magnificence of the house.
The sight can only be described as magnificent. From small decorations to large tables and chairs, everything is made of gold. It is also inlaid with various magic stones and magic props. The cost must be quite expensive.
"Oh, you are here, Mr. Luo Qiu."
When he saw the person coming, he stood up immediately with a smile on his face.
"Where's the money?" Luo Qiu asked.
"Ah? Uh..." Fuli didn't expect Luo Qiu to be so straightforward, so he held back the words he had prepared. "Ahem, Mr. Luo Qiu, the transaction of the divine relic involves a huge amount of money. It can't be concluded in a short time. We have to wait for at least some time."
"Oh my god, why did you call me over now?" Luo Qiu rolled his eyes.
It seems that it is really troublesome to get money without a bank card or something like that.
"Well, actually, I have something to ask you." Fuli said after a dry cough.
"Do you have something to ask for? Old man, we've only met two or three times in total. We can't even be considered real acquaintances. And yet you dare to say such things? You're really shameless." Luo Qiu said suspiciously.
"This..." Fuli had an embarrassed look on his face and didn't know how to start for a moment.
Indeed, the relationship between him and Luo Qiu was just a transactional one. Although they had some common topics, they could not be called friends in the strict sense.
"Forget it, just tell me about it. I'm pretty free lately anyway." Luo Qiu changed the subject.
Fu Li was overjoyed, but then his expression turned serious.
"A year ago, the old man accidentally saw a glimpse of the future. Rose Lowe was about to face a huge disaster. All the creatures in the city died in despair because of this disaster."
"It's a devastating disaster."
"I would like to ask Mr. Luo Qiu to protect Luo Ze Luo Wei when the disaster happens soon."
"Disaster?" Luo Qiu was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and said playfully: "Although I don't know whether the disaster you mentioned is true or false, as you can see, I am just a Black Iron-level adventurer, not a brave man or a hero. Isn't it more reliable to ask that 'Glorious Knight' to save the world?"
"To be honest, I don't like what you said. The arrival of the 'Glorious Knight' is indeed a little idea of the old man, but..." Speaking of this, Fuli looked at the cloudy sky outside the window and turned to Luo Qiu and said, "It's always good to have more hope, right? Besides, the old man also believes that although he is old, his eyes should not be wrong about people."
At this moment, Fu Lide's eyes no longer had that kind of obsession and turbidity towards treasures, but instead revealed a hint of wisdom.
"Not interested." Luo Qiu said without hesitation.
“Woo-hoo!”
Fu Li stared at Luo Qiu and said with resentment: "I begged you so much, and this is the only reaction I get?"
"Hey~" Luo Qiu walked to a chair, sat down with a dignified manner, crossed his legs, and said softly: "Old man, although I am very interested in your eyes that can see the future, I have to say first that the future you see may not be true."
"What do you mean? Are you doubting the old man?"
"No, no, no." Luo Qiu stretched out his five fingers and shook them, smiling, "The future can be changed. The future you saw a year ago may not be the future that is about to happen. You know, even the slight flapping of a butterfly's wings can lead the direction of the future, not to mention a huge city like Rozerowe. With so many people living here, what happens every minute and every second can change the future countless times."
"Although I don't quite understand what you're saying, it seems to make some sense..."
Fu Lide sat down next to Luo Qiu, looking thoughtful.
"Could it be that what I saw at that time was really an illusion?"
"No, no, I've seen the future twice before, and both times it came true, so this time!" Fu Lide said solemnly, "It's still possible."
"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Luo Qiu knew that his misleading words would hardly scare the old man, so he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Fuli hurriedly chased after him.
"take money."
