Chapter 138 Death Approaches
Is it a bit too scary?
If it was the previous Frodonic, he would probably think so too.

She felt that her own strength was around 91 or 92, Lisiduowei was around 94 or 95, A. Sion was around 96 or 97, the Sage, the Source of Miracles, and the Song of the End were around 98 or 99, and the Demon King and the Hero were at 100. Although the gap seemed so big, it was not impossible to win.

However, that is wrong.

Especially when you actually come into such close contact with the Demon King and the Hero, and truly realize what they've done, you'll find such an assessment completely ridiculous. Rose, of course, understood the rationale behind this assumption—after all, common sense dictates that those bearing the Holy Name, those bearing the name of a sage, are not significantly stronger than the conventional Great Elemental Master. While a one-on-one duel would appear to be one-sided, there are many things that can compensate for this, such as alchemical items like World Reflection, which could allow a Great Elemental Master to confront someone bearing the Holy Name.

Therefore, the idea that the world thinks that the Demon King and the Hero are at the "extreme" is probably not wrong.

only……

"I really want to see what price someone can offer."

As a professional businessman, Lastina was uncontrollably excited. You know, this was an unprecedented auction. For the elves, it could give birth to a great elemental mentor-level existence, while for other races, it often meant a longer life and eternal youth.

There is actually a precedent for this, the Sword Saint A. Sion.

Although the elves probably think that the great elemental mentor is the most important thing, for humans and certain races, life and eternal youth are probably what everyone truly desires.

What if the wise king had a long life and eternal youth?
This kind of thing is scary just thinking about it - in fact, the elves will not let the Life Dew fall into the hands of the Wise King or the Dwarf King... It should have been so, but in such a public auction, if nothing unexpected happens, no matter who buys it, it will eventually end up in the hands of those two people... Of course, it is not ruled out that some people will buy it and then lose their minds due to greed and use up the Life Dew directly.

In any case, the elves must take this risk.

The act of taking such a risk means that they believe they can gain something beyond that.

Lastina had to think about what made the elves feel that it was worthwhile to allow a being like the Wise King to have a longer life and almost eternal youth?

You must know that only more than ten years after the war, the elves and dwarves were forced to withdraw from the "Central" by the wise king.

If the wise king is given a few more decades, there is no guarantee that the world will become a human world.

Lastina felt that she knew too little information.

"Duke Reggus of the Human Central Empire offers ten years' worth of taxes from the City of Plenty."

The first person to bid has already appeared.

Lastina was stunned at that moment.

The City of Plenty, "Bono." This city is the wealthiest in the Central Empire, bar none. In a sense, even the Royal Capital surpasses it in terms of tax revenue. Of course, all taxes collected by this city ultimately go to the Royal Capital—the commercial capital of the Central Empire.

The Gold Seeking Chamber of Commerce also has a branch in Bono. Major chambers of commerce are rampant in this place. It is said that anyone with enough wealth can buy anything in this city. The commercial tax in the Human Central Empire is not light. Of course, it is not aimed at small vendors, but taxes are only levied on merchants with formal licenses. Similarly, Mohe also paid taxes according to the law this year, and it was Lastina who did it.

Ten years of tax revenue for the City of Plenty...that's a terrifying number.

Even if the Central Human Empire is wealthy, this is still a huge expense.

The entire venue was filled with gasps of shock.

Obviously - this is not the price everyone expected.

The Duke had no intention of slowly bidding against others, he just offered a sky-high price and wanted to take the Dew of Life directly.

It would be extremely difficult to surpass this price. After all, it was just a single drop of Life Dew… If the elves could sell one today, would there still be opportunities to buy it in the future? Was it necessary to fight tooth and nail for a single drop of Life Dew?
For a moment, the scene was silent.

Lastina remained silent. She couldn't imagine how she could buy this item with the wealth of the Moher Mansion—unless the Demon King's treasury really gave it to her and asked her to take some powerful alchemical items from it in exchange. But it seemed that Moher had no intention of doing so.

"Reflection of the World."

The person who made the offer was an old man from the White Church, who seemed to be in a high position of power.

Now that Adeline was in the White Church, it could be said that "the White Church had spent a huge price to remove Adeline's petrification." The Alchemist Association had essentially become a vassal force of the White Church, which was different from the previous dire situation.

Compared to ten years of tax revenue from the City of Plenty, the World Reflection was undoubtedly more valuable—after all, it wasn't something you could find at any given moment. It wasn't certain another Adeline would be able to craft an alchemical item of this caliber. In fact, according to the world, only the Demon King could create alchemical items of this caliber before Adeline.

However, this thing is difficult to monetize.

In comparison, the elves seem to prefer the ten years of tax revenue from the City of Plenty, where they can get the money directly. The Central Empire of Humanity obviously knows a lot of inside information and knows what the elves need most now.

After all, although the World Reflection is precious, since the elves are willing to give up the Great Elemental Mentor, it is normal to give up an alchemical item of this level.

If it was a holy vessel within the church...

Although there were less than a thousand people at the scene, the two offers had already silenced everyone.

Everyone's attention inevitably fell on the representatives of the Magicians' Guild, the Curse Masters' Alliance, and the Dwarf Kingdom.

If we talk about competition, only these three forces can bid.

After all, most of these people are just spectators.

A dwarf was about to speak.

Rose suddenly spoke.

"I bid, I bid for the Immortal Kingdom of the Elf." Lastina stared at Rose beside her with wide eyes. She was completely confused. She suspected that she had heard something wrong. At the auction in the Elf Kingdom, in front of the Elf Queen, Rose actually said such words!
Don't be afraid!

Could it be that Miss Rose has some trump card given by the Demon King?

Looking left and right, she only saw an ordinary black crow on Rose's shoulder.

I can't feel any powerful aura.

Ruined.

Lastina wasn't the only one shocked. Every spectator was stunned by these bold words. They wondered how the Elven Kingdom could allow such a lunatic in. What power, who, and what kind of person was he? Who in this world would dare to threaten the Elven Kingdom's destruction? Even the Wise King couldn't make such a statement. After all, while the Human Central Empire was powerful, it wasn't invincible. The Wise King could only suppress and weaken it. To bring about the destruction of the Elven Kingdom would require decades, centuries, and generations of struggle. How could you possibly threaten the destruction of the Elven Kingdom?

Isn't this nonsense?

Where did this crazy woman come from?

The Elf Queen's gaze shifted and fell on Rose.

At this moment, the powerful force of the Elf Queen fell on Rose, forcing her to reveal her true state.

She has long black hair, goat-like horns, a graceful figure, a charming posture, and a breathtaking beauty.

Everyone present, regardless of gender, gasped for breath. Fortunately, everyone was still strong enough that their minds were not completely taken away.

"High-level demon! This person is!"

The church members knew the corresponding information: "The one who appeared in the capital! The one who bewitched White Luther! He is the Demon King's subordinate!"

"Demon King!"

The mere appearance of this name was enough to spread fear throughout the auction.

The world has defeated the devil... The world should no longer fear the devil!
This is how everyone has been promoting it over the years.

However, the only people who truly believed such words were the young people who had grown up over the past decade or so. Those in their teens and twenties were the ones who were truly unfamiliar with the name Demon King and who truly didn't fear him.

But at this auction, even those with the lowest status and strength, except for Lastina, were all elderly people, at least in their thirties or forties.

Many people have participated in major wars.

He has a clear memory of the war and has been dominated by the Demon King.

Not afraid?
If this person is present, is the Demon King also present? But the Demon King should be in the Ice Kingdom!

"The demon clan has been destroyed, so what if the Demon King has been reborn? If I can kill him once, I can kill him a second time. You're all alone, and yet you dare to come here? Do you think that if I kill you, the Demon King can do anything to me?"

"Hmm~ At this stage, the Demon King might have trouble dealing with you..." Rose didn't deny this, her dark pupils gleaming with a strange light. "But Queen, isn't it a bit ridiculous to deceive yourself? After all, there's no life form more powerful than you here... Don't you feel it?"

What do you feel?
People's eyes fell on the Elf Queen.

The queen was noble and elegant, with no abnormality in her expression.

Seeing that the Elf Queen didn't answer, Rose couldn't help but smile.

It was a gentle yet cruel smile.

"Don't you feel it? The feeling of the butcher's knife at your neck, the fear of having your life taken away in the next second."

As she spoke, some of the powerful people present looked up at the sky with fear on their faces.

The Elf Queen is the most powerful being in this place, so she should be the first to feel it, and as time goes on, all the strong people present will be able to feel it.

The breath brought from the sky is enough to make people feel "suffocated".

Just as Rose said, it was as if the butcher's knife was already at her neck, and her life would be taken away in the next moment.

Then, something like a shooting star was observed by the naked eye.

When you observe.

It's already very close.

"Walk!!!!"

Someone finally broke free from the fear and shouted wildly.

The people woke up as if from a dream, and crawled away from the flowers desperately, leaving the scene in chaos.

In less than ten seconds——

A meteor falls.
