BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1196 Famous At The Auction I
The warning that was given to Adrian about the rise of the new Horsemen of the Apocalypse made him rather shocked. He thought that the fiasco with the Horsemen of the Apocalypse would be over, but it seems that the mantle can be passed to others. It seems that the words that the Dragon of Apocalypse about returning are not empty after all.
From his analysis, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse might become job classes that will be available for players. What he does not know is how to unlock them as he might be able to stop them if an item is needed for the Job Class Change.
"If I find them then I find them. If I cannot then let us just hope that we can kill the Dragon of Apocalypse. The Four Riders did give me a clue about a weapon wielded by a Dragon Slayer Demigod before. The only trouble is that even the lazy dragons will not let that weapon go into the hands of others." Adrian muttered to himself.
Adrian knows that the dragons do not care what will happen to the world that much unless it affects them. They only moved during the fight with the Horsemen of the Apocalypse when the Daemos Elders invoked the pact. One Daemos Elder in particular has yet to return from the Time Stream.
"It usually takes a long time for him to return when he gets sent there." Ascalor stated.
"This is his tenth time already and he takes longer every time. It is not strange for this because he might be doing something there." Bronx added.
"It might not be strange that he is actually researching something there. If he was really afraid of going there, then he would not have broken the taboo repeatedly." Ascalor added.
"Even for the Daemos, Koronn is a special case just like you. He has more affinity to time compared to others and is a great pillar to our race. Just do what you always do." Bronx stated to ensure Adrian that Koronn is able to handle himself.
Seeing that the other Daemos Elders have trust in Koronn\'s skills made Adrian a bit calmer when it comes to the former\'s state. If Koronn is really in trouble, then he would have definitely given them signs that he was. That old man is very crafty and will definitely have some ways to contact the other elders should he be in danger.

A few days have passed and the auction that is only for players have arrived. Adrian already told Piggy Bank that he would be coming to this auction and that he would auction off two items. The two items are the Thread Blessed by Ariadne and the Ring of Light. In such a small amount of time, Adrian is also becoming a very hot topic.
If one searched the forums of Pandemonium, then they will be able to see that the top discussions and threads were all about him. Not specifically him but his previous battle with Hou Yiwei and Eldritch. The fact that he defeated both of them has created fan wars in the forums.
Some argued that Adrian only won because the other have already exhausted their means of attack. Others said that it was all fair because they were ganging up on Adrian. Some made the sound argument that Adrian would still have won since he managed to survive the attacks of three parties.
Adrian also felt his popularity as there have been numerous emails sent to him for an interview via his email. He did not really want to put himself out there as he is not that talkative when it comes to strangers. His social energy is only reserved when he needs to or for his friends.
Although, he did get brand deals and such from the emails and all of them pay handsomely. He told himself that he will deal with that later as he is busy in Pandemonium. The Festival of the Dragon King is approaching as the other dragon kings have already selected a date. Kanlaon is even invited as a guest of honor.
Adrian would have stopped Kanlaon from going but his soulbound felt some sort of duty to uphold. Adrian then has the urge to look about the details of this festival as even a Genesis Dragon is compelled to come. Adrian feels as if something very interesting might happen and he will come as well since he is Kanlaon\'s master.
"The others are already in the Free City of Mercado so I should just head there immediately." Adrian thought as he teleported to the free city.
When Adrian suddenly arrived at the center of the Free City of Mercado, all of the people looked at him as he did not apply a glamour or polymorphed. Adrian did not feel the need to do that because other demons have also been here to trade. In fact, there are numerous races here in the Free City of Mercado that trade with others.
It is the most neutral city in the world, and it is controlled by the Merchant Association. The Merchant Association only strive for one thing and that is profit. There are practices that they have abolished to make sure that the Free City of Mercado is indeed neutral such as slave trading.
The current heads of the Merchant Association might be greedy, but they do not want blood money from trading intelligent beings. When Adrian suddenly appeared and created a crowd, the hired mercenaries that guard the free city suddenly appeared. When they saw Adrian, they unknowingly pulled out their weapons.
One would think this is rude, but it was the pure instinct of fear that made the mercenaries pull their weapons. Just looking at Adrian invoked such fear in them that they involuntarily held their weapons up for a chance of survival. Adrian\'s current form is also that of a Netheros so he does not give off a feeling of safety.
