Chapter 242: The Trouble with the Jumping Knife

At the same time, Lao Xie also encountered a little trouble, and that was the origin of the jumping knife. After all, this thing was lost after the August family store was robbed, and now it appears in Lao Xie's hands. Of course, people will become suspicious.

However, Lao Xie is not a fool. Of course he will not admit his fault, but he will not lie about it either. He will simply ignore the other party and ignore this issue at all. Fatty followed the old mage's instructions and declared that this was an ancestral treasure and had nothing to do with the August family. Of course, he did not forget to take the opportunity to ridicule the August family, saying that their family was so poor that they were almost begging for food. How could they afford such a precious thing? It's obviously intentional blackmail!

After hearing what Fatty said, the August family was naturally furious, but apart from scolding, they really couldn't think of any way to take back the jumping knife. Because when they got the thing, it had some dishonorable origins, and the spell was not used, so it had no actual value at all and could not be sold for a good price, so the August family kept it in the snow. , I want to wait until I find a way to use it in the future, then auction it or use it myself. Therefore, only a few people in the August family knew about the existence of this thing. As for other senior officials of the Griffin Kingdom, no one knew about it.

In this case, although they reported the case, they were unable to provide proof that the thing belonged to the August family. Of course, given the power of the August family, under normal circumstances, as long as he says it's his, it doesn't belong to him, and basically no one dares to say no. But the problem is, the Stephen family is not ordinary? Their power is slightly greater than that of the August family. In fact, if the August family had not produced a queen, they would not be able to compete with the Stephen family. Therefore, if the Stephen family suddenly says that the August family is lying, there is really nothing they can do unless the August family can provide sufficient proof.

Moreover, since the two families are now at loggerheads, their direct accusations against each other are questionable in the eyes of outsiders. Even if the Augustus family said that the jumping knife was a lost property of their own family, others would wonder if the Augustus family had known that the Stephen family had this treasure, so they planned to set a trap so that the Stephen family would suffer? You know, the reputation of the August family in the aristocratic circle has always been poor, especially after their family inexplicably obtained the secret bow and arrow recipe of the Stephen family, everyone looked down upon them even more. After all, there are not many fools in the aristocratic circle, and everyone can see the fishiness in it. Since the August family can trick the Stephen family on this matter, it is not impossible to make a fuss about the jumping knife.

So, even though the Augustus family knew clearly that the only jumping knife on the continent was indeed stolen by them, they could not get it back at all. Unless they can produce conclusive evidence that the jumping knife is theirs. But the original owner of the jumping knife is Christian. With him around, the Stephen family is not afraid of going to court with the August family. Maybe in the end, Christian's unjust case will be revealed.

However, maybe they had a guilty conscience. Anyway, the Augustus family did not intend to get involved in this place. Instead, they gave up the dispute over the ownership of the jumping knife. Instead, they began to question Lao Xie's identity. They suspected that Lao Xie was robbing them. shop, and tortured and killed those few noble children. After all, the strength of Lao Xie's sword is too abnormal. Among other things, let's talk about the abyss demon's decapitating sword. Each one weighs a hundred kilograms. Even a sixth-level human master can't play with it, but Lao Xie is good. , just like holding a wooden sword, one sword can cut off the thick neck of the abyss demon, which shows how terrifying this power is. Coupled with the fact that Lao Xie was tall enough, he immediately matched two characteristics of the murderer.

The only thing they couldn't figure out was the length of Lao Xie's arms. Although everyone at the scene of the murder of the nobles was dead, there were many witnesses when the store was robbed. They all said that the murderer's arms were extremely long and could almost reach their own feet. And in front of everyone, Lao Xie's arms were exactly like everyone else's. Even if they were a little longer, they were within the acceptable range, and they were definitely not as exaggerated as reaching his feet.

However, for the August family, it doesn’t matter if you can’t figure it out, you can make it up! So their people spread rumors everywhere that Lao Xie was the murderer, but he was wearing special gloves at the time, so he looked a little awkward. Otherwise, how could there be such weird-looking people in the world?

Under the disdain and slander of the Augustus family, not only the nobles were deceived, but even the royal spies began to be alert and stepped up their investigation of the Stephen family. There were even a few guys who came to see the old man carelessly. Xie asked him to go back and assist in the investigation.

Of course, Lao Xie didn't pay any attention to this kind of small character who was bribed by the August family at a glance. In fact, there was no need for him to do anything. The fat man directly asked his subordinates to tell them who didn't know this. The dead guy broke out of the house.

But the problem is, if you keep making trouble like this, the fat man will be annoyed as well as the old evil man. So, after sending away those annoying guys, Lao Xie called Krischen to his room alone, and said with some annoyance: "Go and ask me, what other valuable properties does the August family have?"

"Master, what exactly do you want to know?" Krischen said with a helpless smile: "Their family has too many properties, and they are all quite valuable. Can you at least give me a direction for my investigation?"

"Just look for those shops with small but valuable items, such as the magic material store last time." Lao Xie said.

"Ah? Do you want to do it to them again?" Christian said immediately in surprise.

"Hey, didn't they say I wore gloves? I'm going to show them this time to see if I really did!" said the old evil man with a smile.

"But after what happened last time, their property has stepped up their vigilance. I'm afraid you won't be so successful this time!" Krischen said with a frown.

"Humph, it's just them, it doesn't matter how many they come!" Lao Xie said disdainfully: "Just find a good target for me, don't worry about the rest!"

"If that's the case, there is indeed a good target to start with now." Chris Chen said immediately.

"Oh, what is it?" Lao Xie immediately asked curiously.

"It's like this." Christian then explained: "It is said that the old man made a bet with Frank, the patriarch of the August family, before the autumn hunting. There were several people involved at the same time. The bet between the two parties was relatively high. Anyway, it ended up costing Frank tens of thousands of gold coins. You also know that the financial situation of the August family is extremely bad recently, especially after the big loss in bow and arrow materials last time, they can barely survive. And this time they lost this money, which suddenly caused a serious financial crisis for their family. If there was no large amount of cash flow, it might lead to the collapse of the entire family business. So in this case, they had to take it. A family treasure has been put up for auction. If you can get this thing, I believe everyone in the August family will vomit blood!"

"Haha, that's great!" Upon hearing this, Lao Xie immediately asked excitedly: "What is it? How much is it worth?"

"It's a component of a sub-artifact called the Ring of Tenacity. The base price is 70,000 gold coins, but the final auction price will definitely exceed 100,000, or even 150,000 or 60,000. It's not impossible!" Chris Chen Said: "It is said that even our old man couldn't sit still after hearing the news! He ordered me to prepare 200,000 cash immediately, obviously he is determined to get it!"

"Haha, the old guy actually values ​​it so much? It must be a good thing." Lao Xie then asked hurriedly: "What on earth is this ring of tenacity? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Hey, actually, this is the first time I've heard of it, so I went to find out more about it." Chris Chen then explained: "According to professionals, the Ring of Tenacity is a component of the sub-artifact Surging Blood Essence. According to legend, , 'Surge Blood Essence' is a bracelet that was passed down from another world about three thousand years ago and was owned by a legendary mage. Later, after his death, this thing became a burial object. And more than 2,000 years ago, A group of high-quality tomb robbers got this thing from the tomb in his office. There were five tomb robbers at that time, all of whom were good masters. They all wanted to possess this thing and couldn't argue with each other. In the end, they decided to take it. The Surging Blood Essence decomposes it and divides it into five parts, namely the four gems on it and the bare metal ring. These five things are the Ring of Healing, the Void Gem, the Energy Gem, and the Essence. Air gems and vitality gems."

"Damn, it's a good thing, what's the point of it if you tear it down?" Lao Xie couldn't help but shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "What a bunch of losers!"

"No, no, don't look at these five things separately, but they each have their own magical effects. The healing ring can increase all healing magic by one level, the void gem can double the magic recovery speed, and the energy gem can directly It increases the magician's upper limit of magic power by about 30%: the vitality gem increases the upper limit of mental power by 30%! The essence gem not only increases the upper limit of magic power by about 20%, but also increases the upper limit of mental power by 20%," Chris Chen explained: "The Ring of Tenacity auctioned this time is a re-embedded Ring of Healing and the Void Gem. It not only retains the original attributes of the two items, but also adds one, which can accelerate the recovery of mental power. In other words, , People who wear the ring of perseverance can always feel energetic and never tired."
