Song of Time - Dusk Awakening Verse - Chapter 55

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

The golden luxury car didn’t stop all the way and rushed to the south of the city.

The two of them chased after it from a distance, maintaining a safe space, but not causing it to get out of their sight.

In the afternoon of the South Island, it was as hot as fire. There were almost no passers-by on the street. The tourists were all huddled in the big and small shops that provided free cooling. They lazily clicked on a cup of cold drink. They looked at the golden world outside through the glass window that was isolated from the temperature, killing this summer holiday time.

The buildings in Star City were different from those in the capital, which were full of ancient cultural atmosphere. They were not like the disordered buildings in Rock City. The most strange buildings that could be seen here were all kinds of peculiar high-rise buildings: square, round, cone, inlaid with patterns, all of which were reflective glass. There were even strange designs that looked like they were about to fall down, showing off…The smell was so strong.

Shane held Jin Yuan’s hands and kept covering him. Although there were no people around, after the weird alarm in the Earl’s house just now, he dared not be careless about the new invention that might happen in the South Island. He tried his best to hide it in the shadow, and his eyes followed the luxury car flying through the building. As far as he could, he paid more attention to his surroundings. He calmly bowed his back, backhand holding the Spear Stick at his waist, and quickly swept through all the corners that might pose a threat. If there was something that happened, he was sure to deal with it as soon as possible.

The two of them chased south cautiously. After about half an hour, they gradually felt that the buildings on both sides were more and more evacuating. After turning a few more crossroads, they saw a huge building like a pointed church standing alone behind the wide stone square. The high white wall covered most of the buildings. They could only see the numerous hollowed-out sculptures with the size of colored porcelain from top to bottom. They were extremely gorgeous and also exuded a strong sense of solemnity.

The golden luxury car went along the slope, bypassed the ten-meter high golden statue of the sea god Mermaid in the center of the square, and directly drove into the building. There was no spear guard at the door to stop it. It was obvious that he often came here. Shane, hiding at the corner of the alley, frowned as he stared at the golden Trident shaped wave mark hanging on the church gate.

He recognized this sign. It was the badge of the New Mission in the South Island. In the past few years, this new sect, which worshipped the Sea God, had developed at an astonishing speed, which could be described as rapid changes. Originally, the teachings were only spread among the lower class, but since when they had been accepted by the aristocrats, and they had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in various kinds of promotion activities. Now, they had infiltrated into all classes, industries, and areas of the South Island, becoming the biggest independent sect on the island, and even spread overseas. There were many followers in the capital of Wong.

If the other party got involved with the sect, it would be difficult for them to deal with it. Of course, they had to see what the relationship was…The prince was staring at the heavily guarded door, lost in thought. He heard a whisper, “It’s an auction house.”

Auction house? Why did he build it like a church…He raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised. He looked back and found a glass of ice white dragon juice in Jin Yuan’s hand. He handed it to him and said, “The owner of the shop next door said that the car is one of the collections of the elder of the Weston of the sect…If everything goes well, he must be a member of the Westons. “

Elder? Although Shane knew the existence of the sect, he didn’t know much about the power sects. However, as an elder, he must be a person with power for a while…He stared at the magnificent building behind the white wall thoughtfully. After a while, he finally made a decision. “Follow me in and have a look.”

He drank up the cold juice in one gulp and threw it into the storage barrel at the street corner. With a flash of divine light, he stood against the wall and turned into the image of a maid with purple hair and black eyes again. He raised his head and wanted to leave, but was stopped as far as he could.

“Your Highness…Are you sure you want to enter with this identity? “Obviously, the guard disagreed with Shane. He called out the two words “Your Highness” in a low voice to remind him to pay attention to his identity. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the church style luxury building with golden light shining in the distance. The contradiction between the two was obvious.

The prince glanced sideways at his partner’s slightly wrinkled eyebrows and didn’t answer. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The outer part of the skirt was instantly covered with a long robe with sparkling diamonds. The dazzling light reflected in the sun made him subconsciously let go of his hand to cover his eyes. When he squinted his eyes and looked again, the woman had already walked forward with her blinding rich disguise. Looking at her graceful back, who could guess that “she” was the crown prince, the heir of Wong?

The spear guard could do nothing about it. Because of all the previous events, he didn’t like his highness to use this woman’s identity to act, but now he had no excuse. He could only sigh silently and took a few steps forward, guarding his back as usual.

The two of them silently picked up the noble shelf and walked forward. They bypassed the square of the statues and came to the gate of the auction house among the crowd of people. When they passed through the tall gate of the relief corridor, they had secretly gathered their energy and prepared to deal with the guards. Still, unexpectedly, they were not investigated at all. Perhaps the intimidating coat had worked…

The light in the auction hall was extremely dim. Except for the beam of sunlight in the middle that was cast from the top of the sky to illuminate the auction platform, the rest could only be lit up by dim fluorescent lamps, guiding the way forward.

There seemed to be many people sitting at the auction table. On the stage, there was an antique necklace. From time to time, someone would bid to mobilize the hot atmosphere. Because of the dim light, the two of them were unable to find the young man in luxury clothes who was suspected to be a member of the Westons. They could only take two seats aside and quietly observe the movements of everyone in the field.

The necklace was sold for 32 gold. The auction went on with a few applause. Several beautiful pieces of jewelry were presented one by one. One of them was the crown prince, and the other never wore jewelry. They were not interested in these vulgar things at all. They lurked in the corner for a long time but didn’t find anything. When they were sitting idly, they heard familiar laughter, followed by a rich and intimidating sentence, “The next one is mine. If you don’t bring enough magic stones, just shut up.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

This arrogant shout was like a signal, burning up all the enthusiasm in the field. There were constantly people making kind of malicious jokes in response. The lights on the high platform were turned on, and it was obvious that they were going to invite the finale out.

“Finally, you are here…” The two of them stood up quietly and slowly moved in the direction of the laughter. From the corner of his eye, Shane saw a young man in luxury clothes sitting cross-legged on the edge of the platform. When he was about to take him as far as he could, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the platform.

Under the strong light, the final item of the auction finally opened the black cloth and showed its body. It was a snake-shaped monster more than ten meters long, blue and purple all over, with a ferocious face. The triangular head was the size of a table, and there was a big bump like an airbag on the throat. The neck was densely covered with long thorns like swords, and the tail was also a large fine hole structure with a red light flashing. It made people’s scalp tingle.

The horrible beast caused a commotion on the spot, and all kinds of screams rose one after another. Everyone stood up excitedly and squeezed to the edge of the high platform, close to enjoying this rare evil creature. They didn’t worry about their own safety at all, because the huge snake was locked in a square transparent protective box. It curled up and didn’t move. It only used its blood-red eyes to look back and forth at the greedy faces that gathered around it.

Quetzalcoatl with blood tail…Shane still stood there, holding the long blood-red knife on his waist tightly subconsciously. A hint of gloom rose in his heart. He had long heard about the fact that the people of the south were obsessed with the dark beast, but he didn’t expect to see it with his own eyes in such an auction. At first, he was a little surprised, but then a sense of disgust emerged from the depths of his heart.

These damned dark beasts constantly posed a threat to the safety of all the inland countries. Countless mercenaries scattered their blood to cut off the greedy claws from the dark mud. However, in the south country, which was far away from the sea, these calamities like fatal beasts had actually become a fashion pursuit…

The prince couldn’t think of any words to describe his mood at the moment. He took a few breaths of anger and finally calmed down. After all, this was not his country, and those people were not his subjects. He was just a passer-by and had no right to ask…

A warm feeling came from Shane’s shoulder, which brought him back to reality. Jin Yuan put his hand on Shane’s shoulder as far as possible, patted it gently, and pointed to the front. His expression was also very serious. His tensed face turned cyan under the dim light, and he looked somewhat evil as if he had an illusion.

The most important thing was to get down to business. The prince didn’t think too much and looked at the high platform. As the auction was going on, all the disciples of the top clans in the hall kept breaking the price record. At this moment, the price had reached a terrible number of 80 magic stones — the savannah gem, which was the common currency for the auction of the dark beast. Because only this kind of treasure could increase one’s strength, and countless servants would be willing to risk their lives for it.

“150！” The rich young master of the Westons seemed to be impatient to bid with these poor guys again. He directly doubled the price, which shocked the people who were eager to have a try.

“200……” After a short silence, someone finally raised the price as if they were competing for spiritual energy.

“250！Who else? “The rich young man added another 50 magic stones to the top of his head angrily. At this moment, no one added more even if the excited auctioneer shouted out his throat.

As expected, the young man got the goods he wanted and burst into laughter. “Fortunately, I have foresight. I got a box of magic stones from the count of Gino. Otherwise, the bonus for this month alone would not be enough.” He stroked his oily hair complacently and couldn’t wait to trot to the high platform, planning to be close to his new pet in the future.

When the Quetzalcoatl saw someone approaching, it immediately raised its body like a threat and shook the sword thorn on its neck. It opened its big mouth and let out a slight hoarse cry. Obviously, the transparent protective cover was not only solid but also had a strong sound insulation effect.

The rich man had circled the shield for two circles, and the sound of tutting kept coming from his mouth. The enthusiasm in his eyes was about to burn the shield through. Although his family was rich and powerful, he could only be regarded as a preliminary warrior in terms of pure strength. Moreover, his divine power was not destructive. Every time he felt inferior and could not raise his head in front of other warriors.

“Well, now I have such a powerful beast. If I can train it well and bring it to people, Haha! Let’s see who dares to laugh at me!” He laughed complacently as if he had seen the wonderful scene that everyone bowed to him.

The laughter made Shane frown and feel more and more irritable. Looking at the transparent shield on the stage, he suddenly thought of something and raised the corners of his mouth. He turned around and whispered a few words in his ear as far as he could. The spear guard nodded cautiously and looked around again. After confirming that he was safe, he slowly walked to a dark corner under the high platform and could no longer see his figure.

On the high platform, the young man put his hands on the shield. When he was looking at the shield with his blood boiling, he suddenly felt a flower in front of him. With a click, the shield somehow produced a long and thin crack. The sudden change made him unable to react, but the giant beast trapped in the cage did not miss this good opportunity. As soon as it heard the crisp cracking sound, it immediately narrowed its eyes, raised its neck, and used up all its remaining strength, making a sound wave as if it had a substance.

The strong high-frequency vibration produced a large number of fine net textures on the crack, and then a huge whip-like snake tail swept across, and the shield was broken. The sharp teeth mouth with cold light finally stuck out a crack, and the extreme hatred and killing intent were all frozen on the young man who had been frightened to the ground in front of him.

Although there were also warriors guarding the auction hall, no one had thought that this extremely weak monster would be able to break through the cage. On the other hand, everything happened too fast. Those who were watching the safety of the auction hall far away in the corner tried their best to catch up, but in the end, there was still a small amount of time left.

Seeing that the colorful high platform was about to turn into a bloody killing field and at the moment of life and death, the young man was extremely regretful. If he had known that it was so dangerous, how could he dare to go onto the platform without even taking a guard?  However, it was too late to say anything now. When he saw the stinky mouth with a drop of venom flying towards him, he had no strength to fight back. He could only close his eyes and grit his teeth to wait for death, but suddenly he heard a bang.

The sound of an accidental collision, like the sound of god, made him tremble all over. He opened his eyes in panic and looked forward with an endless desire to survive. A transparent wall of light appeared in front of him, firmly blocking the terrifying huge snake. Then, a tall figure with white light flashed above the snake’s head. He lightly waved his long sabre and stabbed it seven inches upward. After the long journey, the giant snake had already reached the end of its rope. It was no longer able to resist this attack. With a shrill roar, it turned into countless black lights that scattered in the thick light.

His eyes widened, and his mouth was wide open. He stared blankly at the dramatic scene in front of him, still suffering from the shock. Today’s crisis had brought him an unprecedented impact. He stared blankly at the man who had saved his life, and only this thought remained in his heart: “She must be an angel! She is a holy disciple sent by the Sea God to protect me! Look! Her gorgeous robe was shining with dazzling white light. Oh, she and I are a perfect match! Looking at her noble appearance and impeccable perfect side face, oh my God! She glanced at me…She glanced at me…”

He felt a tingle all the way from his toes to his head, which gave him a heavy blow on his chaotic brain. He trembled and stood up abruptly. Without any scruple, he stepped forward, trembling his hands, and stammered, “e…Miss, thank you for saving my life! Could it be…No, please…Let me know your name. “

He stared at the noble lady in front of him with more passionate eyes than just now. He no longer thought about it, but firmly held such a belief that she must be the most eye-catching partner in his life. She would definitely become the most powerful lady in the history of the Westons, and would definitely become his favorite collection!

“She is mine — I will do anything for her!!!”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
