This legendary magic book that happened to appear clearly had some inside story. Intuition told Wanwan that it must have something to do with Grand Duke Melos.

"interesting……"

Whether it is out of interest in legendary spells or curiosity about the plans of Grand Duke Melos, they are all reasons why Bai Wan went to the Melos Auction House to join in the fun.

The auction house under the name of Melos is located in a prominent area in the aristocratic district where many people come and go. Above the gorgeously decorated entrance, you can see a huge hanging magic advertisement several streets away.

Just like the fireworks salute in this world, the fireworks rising into the sky formed a huge line of otherworldly words: Legendary magic book, shocking coming!

The special effects of the brilliant flames that resemble explosions and changes last for a long time, which are very eye-catching in broad daylight. No matter which world the advertisements are in, they are all so flashy and eye-catching.

'This is really...even an advertisement is so magical.'

It was also very interesting to see the paleness, which was different from the fireworks made of gunpowder in the modern world. After this period of study, he could recognize that the auction house advertisement used primary magic: glare.

But judging from the duration and eye-catching degree of this advertisement, I'm afraid it has already reached the level of intermediate magic. Perhaps a senior mage was specially invited to perform it here to achieve such a super-level magic effect.

The status of a senior mage is not low, but with the strength of the Melos family, it is really not a big deal to put up such an advertisement.

When you come to the door of the auction house, you can see a translucent light curtain also formed by magic. I won’t go into details about the gorgeous and fancy advertising elements on it. The main content is:

One month later, at the Melos Auction House, the first legendary magic book since its establishment will be auctioned. Then there is the rarity of some legendary magic books, and the auction here is a recognition of the strength of the auction house.

However, in the official announcement that lasted for a long time, there was no mention of any content about the legendary magic book. It accurately captured the curiosity of the crowd and made people feel itchy to watch.

But Wanwan got a useful piece of information from it: During the auction of the legendary magic book, Grand Duke Melos will appear in person!

In the eyes of others, this is just to maintain order on the scene and to guard against unscrupulous people taking desperate risks. After all, the appeal of the legendary magic book can be imagined, and it will not be surprising at all if someone wants to rob it.

But from Wan Wan's point of view, the other party's appearance is very likely to implement some of his secret plans.

'I really want to see if you will reveal any tricks when you fall...'

With an expectant smile, he then thought about it. He had secretly checked it before using unconventional means and found that the Melos family only inherited two legendary martial arts. So where did the legendary magic book he auctioned come from?

‘Are there other forces involved? Those who can obtain the legendary magic book must at least start as a duke...'

Of course, it may be a conspiracy hatched by multiple forces. But in the Sder Empire, there are only four legendary duke families. If there are really two or even more legendary forces joining forces.

Then this plan is probably very ambitious...

Staring at the extremely conspicuous magic advertisement in mid-air, the pale man seemed to have some understanding in his heart.

'But what does that have to do with me? I'm just a theatergoer.'

He smiled slightly, thinking of the reception given to him by Duke Melos before, not surprisingly, he might also be implicated. However, it is quite interesting, isn't it?

The news that the Melos Auction House is going to auction the legendary magic book is spreading at a terrifying speed with the help of thoughtful people. It may only take a few days to spread throughout the entire Sder Empire.

By then, this will cause quite a stir in the entire Sder. After all, this is a legendary magic book, a secret book inherited only by duke-level nobles, which shows how rare it is.

Now this thing that was almost impossible to appear in front of the public has appeared in the form of auction.

The most enthusiastic reaction to this news was the businessman group in human society. Although businessmen have huge financial assets, their status is always lower than that of the nobles.

Except for some extremely wealthy large chambers of commerce that can be compared with nobles, the status of businessmen is generally higher than that of common people. What is the reason for this status and class difference?

In the final analysis, it is because of power. The power possessed by the noble group is stronger, so the nobles are superior.

You might as well think about it for a moment. Generally, the duke family has legendary powerhouses. And below the duke level, there are at least high-level powerhouses. It’s just a matter of quantity.

Among ordinary chambers of commerce and forces, the highest level is generally at the mid-level level. Large chambers of commerce are only at the upper-level level, while legends are basically out of reach of common people.

The main reason for this current situation is the knowledge blockade of the nobles. Most civilians don't even know a word, so how can they learn magic and martial arts?

Therefore, inheritance is the fundamental means for nobles to maintain their status. Coupled with the inherited bloodline and talents, as well as various noble resources and elite education, the nobles have achieved their high status today.

Because of this, in today's human society, almost 80% of the truly powerful people come from the nobles. Most of the large numbers of low-level warriors and mages come from the common people.

Of course, there are also some cases of great talent and excellent opportunities... After all, with the fate of the protagonist in the legend, everything is possible. As for the social conditions of other races, let's not mention them for now.

But before that, Bai Bai learned something interesting from the black dragon. The only legendary strongman in the human race was born from civilians for the first time...

That's too far.

Under such an environment, the auction of this legendary magic book was naturally very sensational. Although the high-ranking nobles of the empire could probably feel the atmosphere of conspiracy in it.

But for the majority of middle- and lower-class people, this is a rare event.

If you successfully obtain this legendary magic book, although it will not directly create a duke family, it is still more practical to jump into the aristocracy.

"Let's go, we've had enough of watching the fun. That legendary magic book hasn't reached the auction house yet."

Thoughts were swirling in his heart, but he looked pale but remained calm and composed.

"Um - Sir, do you know again?"

Black Dragon Xiaobai was a little stunned, and looked confused again. Why did the two of them act together every time, but Bailong could always learn about some situations that he was completely unaware of?

"I know a lot of things. Let's go and visit other places first."

…

With the release of the auction news of the legendary magic book, an uninvited guest also came to Melos Castle at night.

Grand Duke Melos, dressed in pajamas, did not return to his bedroom late at night. Instead, he came to the empty study. Under the dim magic light, his expression flickered, as if he was quietly waiting for something.

Suddenly, the slightly closed eyes of Grand Duke Melos suddenly opened. Like a lion waking up from sleep, he showed his majesty as a lord.

"Since you are here, there is no need to hide your head and show your tail."

"As expected of the famous Grand Duke Melos. I know I can't hide it from your perception."

A low voice that was obviously disguised by magic sounded in the study. A figure wearing a black robe, covering his body and face, seemed to emerge from the void.

"Hmph! Pretend to be a ghost."

Grand Duke Melos snorted coldly and was very disdainful of the black shadow's behavior of hiding himself.

"Haha... After all, I am just a small person. I am not as powerful as Grand Duke Melos, who has the power to ignore everything."

In response to Duke Melos's disdain, Heiying's tone did not change at all, but instead praised the opponent's strength. How should I put it? He seems to be a very good talker, and he can easily make people feel proud.

It's a pity that Melos, who is also an old fox, is not interested in this trick at all.

"Stop talking nonsense. We have already made an agreement. Logically speaking, you should not show up at my place today. This will increase my risk of exposure."

"It doesn't matter, it will only be a month later. Even if someone discovers what happened today, no one will think of you. By then..."

The black shadow chuckled and explained, but his low voice sounded like the devil's temptation.

"You came here tonight just to talk nonsense, right?"

Grand Duke Melos was a little dissatisfied when he heard this. A glimmer of green light flashed in his sharp eyes, and terrifying power surged out instantly. It was like a storm and natural disaster, crushing the shadow's seemingly insubstantial body.

Faced with the power of the top legend, the black shadow could not be as calm as the pale one. Before he could say anything, he turned into a black smoke and disappeared.

'It turned out to be just a phantom...'

Duke Melos calmly withdrew his majesty, and a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes. However, after crushing the opponent, he did not move at all, and still sat there with a calm expression.

"Oh my...Why is Grand Duke Melos so angry?"

The same magically disguised voice sounded again, and the dark shadow that had just dissipated reappeared in the study.

"The rightful owner has finally arrived?"

But Grand Duke Melos still didn't follow the routine and asked directly.

"It's natural. I just made light of His Excellency the Duke. This time I made a special trip to pay Your Excellency a deposit in advance."

This time the black shadow didn't say any more nonsense. As he spoke, he took out a scroll with a fiery red elemental aura from his black robe.

With Duke Melos' determination, he couldn't help but feel a slight fluctuation when he saw this magic scroll. He took it without hesitation and checked it, and then he spoke slowly after checking that it was correct.

"What? Didn't you say that the deposit will be paid after one month? Why in advance?"

"Isn't this to show your sincerity in cooperation?"

Heiying didn't care about the rudeness of the other party's face-to-face inspection, and still said calmly.

"Okay, I see the sincerity. I will do my best in the future cooperation. If it doesn't matter, you can get out."

After putting away the inspected scrolls, Duke Melos began to drive people away without ceremony.

"Wait a moment, I have another question to ask. I wonder how you will arrange her after the plan?"

But the black shadow didn't seem to be afraid of his power at this moment, and asked nonchalantly.

"……Oh it's you."

His words seemed to suddenly make Grand Duke Melos aware of his flaw. His sharp eyes like a lion instantly overflowed with light.

"Haha, what's the use of it if you know it?"

Black Shadow said jokingly.

"You don't need to worry, I have arranged everything."

Grand Duke Melos was silent for some reason, and then spoke slowly.

"I hope so. I hope the plan will not cause any accidents to her, otherwise..."

The shadow's threatening words seemed to instantly anger Archduke Melos.

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"

The pressure like a terrifying natural disaster surged out again, and the black shadow turned into black smoke and dissipated again. This made Archduke Melos raise his eyebrows slightly.

"When did you leave? A young man who hides his head and shows his tail..."
