Chapter 278: The Unchanged Golden Armor
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the armor. Many people did not hide the greed in their eyes. The moment the armor appeared, they made up their minds to take it for themselves!
Wei Huo looked at the armor as well. It was indeed the golden armor, but it was very disguised. For example, it had an Epic-ranked battle dress, a few more decorations on its back, and a necklace on its helmet.
However, Wei Huo’s golden eyes could see through all the illusions, disguises, and obstacles. That was why he had immediately recognized the armor as the golden armor from Kunlun Mountain.
The golden armor also felt his gaze at that moment. Its body trembled as it said subconsciously, “F*ck, is there really a God in the Western Continent? Why do I feel like I’m being watched by an almighty God?”
The golden armor trembled, causing everyone present to jump in shock. The auction house owner took a few steps back. Although a Legendary-level armor was still only armor, this was a Legendary-level existence. Who knew what the effect of the armor’s anger would be? Could anyone present stop it?
The owner wiped his sweat and said, “This armor is sentient. It chooses its owner. Everyone, this is a real Legendary-level armor. Let’s begin the auction. There’s only one rule: The highest bidder wins!”
Everyone looked at each other. No one spoke, but the female First Knight could not help but say loudly, “I’ll use all the savings at my residence, including my mansion, as well as all the servants and guards in the mansion in exchange for this Legendary armor!”
After saying that, the female First Knight took out a piece of paper and said, “This is an agreement. The Arbitration Council has evaluated all the assets I’m willing to offer to pay. They are worth 35 million gold coins.”
Everyone was shocked by the female First Knight’s boldness. No one had expected her to use all her wealth immediately. She was staking it all. No one could give up everything for a piece of armor like her. After all, one had to have the strength to protect the armor after obtaining it.
Everyone was silent, and the owner was shocked. His auction house would collect 5% as an auction fee. How many gold coins were 35 million? One knew that an ordinary family would only spend one silver coin a day. One gold coin could be exchanged for 100 silver coins.
Wei Huo did not interfere. He had no intention of participating in the auction. No matter how one looked at it, this auction was a trap set up by the golden armor.
Wei Huo only asked the golden armor, “Have you arrived in the Western Continent?”
The golden armor was shocked by the voice and trembled again.
Everyone looked at it. The auctioneer wiped his sweat. “It seems like this Legendary armor has chosen its owner. If no one increases the price, this armor will…”
Before he could finish his sentence, a noble suddenly said, “I’ll pay 40 million gold coins and a piece of land!”
As soon as this person spoke, the female First Knight frowned.
At that moment, the golden armor finally figured out who was sending voice transmissions to it. It immediately sent a voice transmission back to Wei Huo. “So it’s you, Brother Huo. I haven’t seen you in a while. Which level of the Concealment Skill have you mastered? I can’t feel you even though you’re standing in front of me. Or is this just an illusion?”
Wei Huo asked, “How long have you been in the Western Continent? Have you seen the Queen of England?”
The golden armor sent a voice transmission upon hearing that. “I’ve only been in the Western Continent for a short 10 years. I’ve been in the capital for just a year. I’ve never seen the mysterious Queen of England, but I plan to snatch this city in one go. With you around, the chances of success will be higher!”
Wei Huo glanced at the golden armor and understood its thoughts in a few moments. Therefore, he did not ask any questions.
The golden armor could not hold back anymore. “Why haven’t you asked what my plan is?”
Wei Huo satisfied its vanity. “What’s your plan?”
At that moment, the auction reached its climax. While Wei Huo was talking to the golden armor with his Divine Sense, the price of the golden armor had already reached 100 million gold coins. Of course, other assets were allowed to be used during the auction, so there were territories, property, weapons, servants, slaves, and even living Magical Beasts among the 100 million gold coins.
At that moment, the golden armor sent a few images with its Divine Sense. The images described the underground sewer of the city. The sewer seemed to have been modified by the golden armor. It had built a huge robot factory underground, and countless robots were being manufactured there.
The golden armor said through a voice transmission, “Back then, you made me comprehend the Dao under the Dao Enlightenment Pines. I thought about it for a long time before deciding to walk the path of science. I kept studying the technological skills I obtained on the sixth level of Kunlun Mountain. In the past few decades, the scientific knowledge I learned increased and the power I grasped grew. I increasingly decided that science and technology were indeed an impressive path.”
A few decades were indeed a very short time to Legendary creatures, let alone to an existence like the golden armor that had been alive for thousands of years.
Wei Huo asked, “What level has your technology reached? Have you mastered the grand unification formula?”
If the golden armor had mastered the grand unification formula, it would be qualified to travel through space and compete with the Zergs.
The golden armor sighed. “The grand unification formula is not something an existence at my level can grasp. If I could grasp it, I would be akin to a peak Legendary being.”
At that moment, someone roared, “110 million gold coins, including all my land and my title! I must obtain this armor!”
He was an extremely powerful and influential person. Furious, he expressed his determination to obtain the armor. He even said, “I’m the son of the Prime Minister. I want everyone to know what this means. I hope no one will fight with me over this armor, or it will negatively affect the harmony of this place.”
When the golden armor heard that, it immediately said, “What kind of bullsh*t is this guy spouting? How dare he bid so high? I will kill him with one move! Do you believe me?”
It was obvious that the golden armor was very dissatisfied with the son of the Prime Minister. It was no wonder, as its target had always been very clear. It was the female First Knight.
The golden armor told Wei Huo its plan. It had already heard that the female First Knight was in charge of the city’s military affairs. That was why it had wanted to use the auction house to auction itself off. Given the female First Knight’s prestige in the city, no one would dare snatch it from her. The golden armor would allow the female First Knight to enter its body at will. Then, it would control the female First Knight. Once it controlled the female First Knight, the city’s armed forces would be firmly in its hands.
