Infinite Simulation: From Konoha to Katsuki

Chapter 96 The Promised Moment
Li Xiang hugged the Tibetan fox and followed Astarte to a hotel called Roaring Dragon.

After showing the invitation letter, they were able to enter and pressed the non-existent negative third floor in the elevator.

The elevator opened, and a hall came into view.

The structure of the hall is very similar to the ancient Roman Colosseum.

In the middle is a platform surrounded by tiers and tiers of seating.

And on the top is the box on the first floor, there are seven.

Astarte walked straight into the first box.

Li Xiang thought about it and thought it was reasonable.

After all, it is the Edfelt family.

In the Clock Tower, there are only about twelve monarchs who can surpass them.

The box is quite luxurious, except that there is no bed, the rest has everything, just like a presidential suite.

Astarte turned on the projection, and inside was the situation of the platform.

Li Xiang secretly thought that he was very advanced.

He saw a booklet on the coffee table and picked it up.

As he expected, what was recorded was today's auction item.

That's the price, it's mind blowing.

The minimum bid is [-].

He turned a few pages, and the more frightening he got to the back.

"Is there anything you want?"

Astarte noticed his expression, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and said, "I can lend you money."

"I'm not in the habit of taking out loans."

Li Xiang chose to refuse.

With his salary, he will not be able to pay it back for the rest of his life.

Although he wants to eat soft food, he is a magician with backbone.

Can not eat without eating.

Astarte brushed her hair by her ear, and said with a smile, "If you miss it, it will be difficult to get another chance."

I just don't know if she is talking about the auction item or the loan.

Li Xiang's eyes froze suddenly.

He saw a familiar auction item.

Bloody Bodhi Leaf.

It was indeed mentioned in the original work that it appeared in the auction house, and it was finally bought by the owner of Iseloma, Byron.

It is related to the plot of the Petronas Twin Towers.

The ultimate goal of every magician is to reach the root.

Iseluma is no exception.

The magic they choose is the sense-like magic, trying to reach the root with extreme beauty.

Thus the Golden Princess and the Silver Princess were created.

Ultimate beauty.

Just looking at the appearance can catch people's hearts.

In Li Xiang's view, this may be more like two succubi full of charm.

Astarte suddenly looked in front of him and said, "So it's Bodhi Leaf, why, you want to participate in the Holy Grail War?"

Li Xiang only felt a faint fragrance permeating the air.

Like some kind of granulated sugar.

"Holy Grail War?"

Li Xiang pretended to be confused and asked, "What is this?"

"In a magic ceremony in Fuyuki City, holy relics are used to summon followers to hold a war. It is said that the final winner can realize any wish with the Holy Grail."

Astarte shook his head and chuckled, "However, the clock tower has never been taken seriously, thinking it is just a rural ceremony. However, the accidental death of El-Mello, the ruler of the Holy Grail War last time, made them a little interested, and they plan to send two The magician went to investigate the reason."

Li Xiang knew there was another reason.

There are so many so-called holy grails.

The Clock Tower handles hundreds of Holy Grail cases each year, only to discover that they are all fake.

After all, the Holy Grail, which originated from Jesus, is too famous.

"So the bodhi leaf is Siegfried's holy relic?"

"good."

Astarte smiled and said, "Siegfried is also a powerful servant in mythology. If he can be summoned, he might be able to win the Holy Grail War."

That is, you don't know that there are even more perverted guys.

Li Xiang secretly thought that in the fifth Holy Grail War, not only the servants were powerful, but even the Master was also cheating.

It's hard to say that Siegfried will win.

But he didn't know what to say when he saw the starting price of 5000 million pounds.

Li Xiang touched the page number and found that there was another page.

He turned over and froze for a moment.

Saint Quartz? !

The pattern is exactly a colorful octagonal spar.

If it's not a Saint Quartz, what else is it?

Astarte blinked and asked, "Are you interested in this special spar?"

Li Xiang came back to his senses and said, "It seems interesting from the description, but the price is beyond my imagination."

He handed the booklet to Astarte.

The room was quiet.

Li Xiang was stunned for a few seconds, he couldn't help but wonder what is the use of Saint Quartz?
After all, this is reality, not a game.

He looked at Astarte with closed eyes and rested his mind, remembering what happened to the survivors a few days ago.

Based on her relationship with Huaye Lingli, maybe she can know.

Li Xiang couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, and said: "Sister, the law enforcement team caught a survivor two days ago, the one who traded with Geraint, but I don't have permission to know the situation."

"He's not a survivor."

Astarte said in an affirmative tone, "The person behind him is called Anano Kuro, who is also the older brother of Anano Hiari. He used to be the former head of the modern magic department, Hateres. Probably to raise money, Hartress sold dragon's blood through him."

Sure enough.

Just because her brother was involved, Huaye Lingli chose to seal the file.

Li Xiang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After about 10 minutes, the auction officially started.

The sound is transmitted to every corner through the radio.

Immediately afterwards, a waiter knocked on the door and brought a bell and a microphone.

"Why is there a microphone?"

Li Xiang asked suspiciously.

Isn't it possible to make an offer if there is a bell?
Why is there still such a way of playing with sky lanterns?
"It's for you to declare your identity."

Astarte explained, "No magician wants to offend a famous magic family, and the auction is also afraid of affecting himself."

"Won't the auction lose money?"

"How can I lose money? It's just a small profit."

"Too."

The corner of Li Xiang's mouth moved slightly.

Why should a poor ghost like himself worry about this.

The projection reflects the situation in the hall.

An old man came on stage with a gavel, and he cut to the chase, saying: "The first lot today is a magic dress, which is modeled after the gun of greed held by the hero Cu Chulainn in Irish mythology. "

Immediately, two waiters raised a red spear.

"Throw this gun out, and it will turn into thirty sharp arrows, which is quite a good magic dress to use against the enemy."

The old man tapped the gavel and said, "The starting price is £[-]."

In just a few seconds, the price soared to [-] pounds.

It's as if you don't want money.

Li Xiang couldn't understand.

In his opinion, this dress is really ordinary.

People are stupid and have a lot of money.

He glanced at the Tibetan fox, which was staring at the big screen with relish.

Before, he told it, remember to remind it of any good things, especially if the auction house made a mistake.

Lot after lot.

Astarte just watched and didn't make a move.

Not to mention Li Xiang, he couldn't afford it.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the old man said: "Next is the tenth lot, a frozen flower called the Moment of Promise. Its function is to increase the activity of magic power within its ten-meter range."

Li Xiang noticed that Astarte seemed to sit up straight.

Do you want to buy it?

At this moment, Tibetan Fox shook his thigh.

Li Xiang raised his eyebrows and hinted: "Senior sister, this thing feels pretty good."

Astarte turned to look at him, a faint light shone in her pale golden pupils.

She immediately rang the bell and made her bid.

Li Xiang always felt that her eyes had a story to tell.

No, Astarte herself is a magician with a lot of stories.

Li Xiang said that he couldn't see through this senior sister.

After constant bidding, it was finally sold for £700 million.

After a while, a waiter brought something to Astarte.

Li Xiang was able to observe its appearance up close.

Five pink petals, a few strands of pale yellow stamens.

It seems to be cherry blossoms.

The surface is covered with a layer of faint transparent crystals, which looks like ice.

Li Xiang stretched out his hand to touch, without any feeling of coldness, but with a hint of warmth.

Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and a lake appeared.

The lake is round as a whole, and looks like a mirror at a glance.

Not far away, there is a small town.

Because it was too far away, Li Xiang could vaguely recognize the British style.

Then, he came back to reality.

Li Xiang withdrew his hand and glanced at Tibetan Fox.

That's where it thinks it has value?

But what does it represent?
Lakes and small towns are quite common.

He handed the flower to Astarte.

But she didn't have any reaction after touching it.

Li Xiang wondered to himself, is it only useful to himself?

It’s weird.

The auction continued and soon came the blood-stained bodhi leaf.

The competition is more intense than imagined.

After [-] million British pounds were auctioned off, an old voice said, "I am Byron of the Ezeluma family, and please give the monarch Baruyereta a face."

The Iseluma family is a branch of the Baluereta family.

At this point, the rest of the magicians all suspended bidding.

For the sake of a Bodhi leaf, it is unnecessary to offend the monarch.

An additional [-] million pounds is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary magicians.

"Sorry, Gary Asta is bound to win this."

A straightforward voice sounded in his tone, "I offer [-] million. If you can exceed it, I will give it to you."

Li Xiang remembered who this young man was.

Atram Gariasta.

The son of the oil king of the Middle East.

Good at using money as a weapon.

He bought Bodhi Leaf to participate in the Holy Grail War, and he is very obsessed with dragons.

But Li Xiang knew he couldn't do what he wanted.

Because the servant summoned behind him is the art class, Medea.

A god-age magician who can summon dragons.

However, when he knew that Medea could not summon dragons in modern times, he deeply felt her power, so he wanted to kill her.

It's hard for Li Xiang to understand this weird psychology.

But in the end Atram was killed by Medea.

"Two hundred and fifty million."

Byron spoke without hesitation, as if the money was not his.

"It stands to reason that Izaluma shouldn't have so much money."

Astarte said suddenly.

Hearing this, Li Xiang vaguely remembered that Bailong in the original work was indeed sponsored by others to buy the bodhi leaf.

And this person is Huaye Kuro, or Hateres.

It also makes sense for him to sell dragon blood to Geraint, just to raise money.

Of course, he is not a philanthropist either. He sponsored Byron in order to obtain his family's technology to complete his great cause.

In "The Case Book of Monarch El-Melloi II", Hateres is undoubtedly the final big boss, and almost all events have his shadow behind it.

Although Atram is rich, he can't afford two consecutive big consumptions.

Because he spent a huge amount of British pounds to buy the Holy Grail War quota from the Clock Tower not long ago.

His purpose was simple, gilding to improve his family's treatment at the clock tower.

No way, his family became aristocrats purely by buying magic with money. Naturally, they will not be treated favorably by the clock tower.

The auction has reached the last lot.

Without Li Xiang's prompting, Astarte bought the Saint Quartz.

He was a little puzzled.

After the Saint Quartz was delivered, Astarte picked it up and immediately smiled.

Li Xiang couldn't help but startled.

"Senior sister, do you know what it does?"

"know."

Astarte put away the Saint Quartz and said, "I'll tell you after you become the opening position."

Li Xiang could only suppress the doubts in his heart.

"This flower is for you."

Astarte pointed to the frozen cherry blossom and said, "Cultivating within its range of effect can get twice the result with half the effort."

"Give it to me?"

Li Xiang opened his mouth slightly and waved his hand quickly, "It's too expensive, I can't accept it."

"Is it precious?"

Astarte tilted his head, and said, "It's not the so-called precious."

"..."

Li Xiang didn't know what to say for a moment.

Does seven million pounds equal seven pounds in your eyes?

Astarte walked to the door, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said, "Junior brother, take it, let's go."

"Oh."

Li Xiang picked up the flower and followed behind her.

The two got into the car and quickly returned to the villa.

Because today is Saturday, there is no class.

Li Xiang put the flower in a glass vase.

He remembered the illusion he saw when he touched it, so he said hello, and he went to the library in London.

"Do you have any books about the lakes in ancient Britain?"

Li asked the administrator of the library.

The reason why it is said to be ancient is based on the small town by the lake.

Although it is a glimpse, but that style is definitely not modern architecture.

"some."

The administrator replied, "A Study of the Prehistoric and Medieval Mountains and Lakes of the Isle of Great Britain."

After Li Xiang got the answer, he went to the computer next to the bookshelf and searched for its location.

According to the number, he found the book, and immediately sat down at a place by the window.

But alas, he found nothing.

Li Xiang closed the book, the sun outside the window had already set to the west and was about to disappear.

After thinking about it, he asked the administrator for a pen and paper, and he drew a general outline of the town.

"This style is very similar to the architecture of ancient Rome."

The administrator murmured.

Li Xiang was startled slightly, he found the wrong place.

It is not in Britain but in ancient Rome?

"and many more."

The administrator had a feeling of sudden realization, "This is the product of the fusion of Britain and ancient Rome."

"What do you mean?"

Li Xiang asked doubtfully.

"Do you know Caesar?"

"know."

"In 58 BC, he launched the Gaul War and invaded Britain twice during this period. Since then, it has opened the prelude to the ancient Roman conquest of Britain. In 43 AD, Claudius I, of course, his son the tyrant Nero Probably even more famous. He brought 12 native British kings to their knees, a true conquest."

The administrator sighed and said, "Afterwards, the province of Britannia was established, including what is now England and Wales. But even the mighty Roman Empire would have its day of decline. In the fifth century AD, Rome withdrew, ending it. rule."

"So what I'm looking for is England and Wales before the fifth century AD?"

"good."

"Thank you."

Li Xiang returned the "Research on the Prehistoric and Medieval Mountains, Rivers and Lakes of the British Isle" to the administrator, and asked about books related to Inger and Wales.
