Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Auction (1)
Messi liked Peter's flattery, but he didn't get carried away, saying, "What's going on tonight?"
Peter immediately replied, "My lord, tonight you are going to participate in the auction of your own collection, and there will probably be more than fifty nobles participating, and the total number is about one hundred and fifty. β
Messi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, give me Yonatalie's ****, I want her to know that in front of me, her father is just a rich man." Also, I went to ask for an invitation to the collection auction, without signing, and asked the waiter to give me the prey, and said that a big man on the ship specially invited her to go. β
Peter hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, you are really wise, as long as the little nobleman hears the invitation of the big man, he will definitely be eager to go." β
Messi laughed: "Clean up the room, today is my night with Natalie, it's a wild night." Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, my goal is that little nobleman, change the taste, come to a romantic night, spend a romantic night, I will have a feast of beasts!"
Of course, Peter knew what the feast of the beast was, and at the feast of the beast he also had the opportunity to contact the usually proud noblewoman, and with lust burning in his eyes, he hurriedly left to do things for Messi.
Merlin didn't expect to be in trouble on an ordinary journey, she wandered around the ship for a day, and did not return to the cabin until nightfall, but was stopped by a waiter in the hallway.
The waiter politely handed over a beautiful light purple invitation and said, "Miss Merlin, a big man on the ship has asked me to send you this invitation, and I hope you will be able to attend the auction tonight in Hall 2 on the third floor." β
Merlin herself was born into a small aristocracy, and with her status as a third-level apprentice, it was more than enough to participate in this kind of activity, and it was not the first time she had participated in this kind of activity, and she also wanted to join in the fun. However, Merlene was not without doubts in her heart, because there was less than an hour left before the auction officially began, and this kind of event usually should be notified in advance, although she had not participated in the auction on the Princess Troy, it did not mean that she did not know anything about it.
Even so, she is only used as an spice for a boring journey, and with her strength, there are really not many people on this cruise ship who can threaten her. After tidying up a bit, Merlin walked to Hall 2 on the third floor.
On a normal passenger ship, the high top and lower floors are not stable, but the Troy Princess is different because of the witch circle, which can make the guests feel no shaking.
On the Troy Princess, the top floor is generally closed to the public, and is only open when the cruise ship owner is entertaining important guests. The first floor belongs to the upper area, and only the big names at the earl, marquis, duke's level or the upper knights, and the powerhouses at the official wizard level are eligible to stay, and the status is not enough, and no matter how rich you are, you can't buy a ticket.
The third floor is a good place for viscounts, barons and junior professionals to stay, Baron Messi is quite rich, but he is still reluctant to live on the third floor, and only bought tickets for the fourth floor, and Merlin also lives in the fourth floor because of the reason that she bought the ticket a little late.
Merlin arrived ten minutes early, and there were already hundreds of people in Hall 3. There is a buffet table on the left side of the hall, a booth on the right with some collectibles, and a set up auction table in front of it.
The hall was brightly lit, echoing with melodious music, the furnishings were even more luxurious and elegant, and there was an elegant atmosphere everywhere, Mei Lin's mind was a little dazed, she vaguely remembered this environment, but it seemed to be far away in the hall.
A waitress approached and politely examined her invitation, his expression changing slightly as he looked at itβfor it was genuine, but missing a lot of important information.
The waiter looked at Merlin carefully again, and said softly: "Distinguished guests, this party is a traditional event of the Princess Troy, and it is an auction with its own collection. Each guest who takes the invitation card has to give a lot, and if you don't want to actually auction it, you can ask a friend to auction it. However, after the auction is over, there is a 5% fee for the ship. β
"I see. Mei Lin raised her eyebrows slightly, if she still had any doubts before, it was completely clear now, even if the person who sent the invitation to herself did not harbor evil intentions, at least he wanted her to be ugly.
She scanned the hall and found no one she knew. He took out a gold coin and threw it to the waiter: "Thank you for your explanation." β
She took out a pair of cyan boots from the storage bag and handed them to the waiter: "I will auction the wind boots, and the reserve price is 280,000 gold coins." β
"Thank you!"
The waiter excitedly took the gold coin and wind boots, took out a small notebook, and asked respectfully, "Honorable police guest, may I ask your name?"
"Merlin. "It's a common name, and there's no need for Merlin to think of another name.
The waiter made a note of it, and then said, "Invitation number 13225123, Merlene." Lot: Wizard - Wind Boots. Do you have any more questions?"
"No more. Merlin shook her head.
"Congratulations on a nice evening. The waiter hurriedly left.
As soon as the time came, everyone came one after another, and Merlin also saw Messi, who had a relationship with each other, and suspected that it was Peter or Messi who did it.
Before the auction begins, the ship's wizards and appraisers sort the lots into categories, picking out the valuable ones to auction at the auction table, while the other low-priced lots are placed on the right stand. Whoever wants to buy those low-priced lots can write down the invitation number, name and price in the notebook below the lot.
Merlin went to the low-priced lot first, looking at it as she went. There are all things under 1,000 gold coins, mainly jewelry, paintings, porcelain and other handicrafts.
Merlin had little interest in crafts such as oil paintings, but she liked a few pieces of jewelry and was ready to buy them back for reference, so she only participated in the bidding for a pair of earrings, a necklace and a pair of jade bracelets.
After looking at all the items in the booth, the two of them went back the same way to see if there was anyone bidding for the three pieces. Merlin's price was 10 percent higher than the market price, and she was sure that no one would compete with her.
But when Merlin notices that there is an extra name called 'Messi' under her name, and that the notebooks of all three items have this name, is it just a coincidence?
I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********
