Chapter 256: Auction (2)
"The aristocracy is an inseparable part of this world, they are like the head of the flock, the indispensable servants of the shepherd, but they are not irreplaceable. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Merlin glanced at the nobles faintly.
"Yes, sir. Ziya had an expression on her face that sounded like a heavenly sound.
The two turned into a brown corridor, the floor was covered with a red carpet, and there were many portraits of celebrities hanging on the walls on both sides, but under the background of the golden wall lamps, these portraits that were originally serene became inexplicably tough and a little hideous, looking like a ghost corridor, although Mei Lin was not afraid, but she really hated this environment, and couldn't help but speed up her pace, until she entered the auction hall, she slowed down.
The most conspicuous thing in the hall is, of course, the huge auction table, at this time, the chairs in front of the auction table are already full of guests who have come to participate in the auction, because most of these people are businessmen and adventurers, their identities are complex, and their literacy is not high, so the crowd is full of voices, and it seems extremely chaotic, and even the staff of the auction house can't help frowning.
Seeing Mei Lin's brows gradually frowning, Ziya knew that the other party's patience had reached the limit, and she showed the invitation to a foreman: "Take us to the private room." ”
The foreman's eyes were good, and with just a wave of his hand, he could see the content of the invitation card clearly, and she bowed slightly and said, "Please come with me." ”
After saying that, turn around and walk in front to lead the way.
They entered a stairwell, and then went up two flights of stairs, and entered another corridor, where there was a room, and at the door stood a beautiful young maid, who saw them coming, and bowed respectfully.
"Mi Duo, your task today is to greet these two adults. ”
The foreman commanded, turned around and bowed slightly to the two: "Two adults, this is your private room, if there is anything, just tell Mi Duo." ”
"Got it, you go down. ”
Zia stuffed a gold coin as a tip to the foreman, and then said to Mei Lin: "My lord, please come in, this is the exclusive private room of the Wimble family." ”
The young maid by the door hurriedly stretched out her hand to open the door, and Merlin stepped inside.
The box isn't really big, but it's very comfortable, and it doesn't feel cramped in a small space.
The floor in the room is green and decorated with gold patterns. The sofa and leather chairs are light brown, and a silver tea set and a fruit bowl are placed on the coffee table. In the corner of the room, there is also an antique incense ball, which exudes a refreshing fragrance.
Merlin glanced at it, went straight to the window and sat down in a leather chair. The rooms here are specially designed to sit on leather chairs for a clear view of the auction below. It was about the use of some kind of alchemy circle, and although the sound below was noisy, it could not be heard in the room.
"My lord, you can see the whole venue in this direction, are you satisfied?" said Zia, standing behind Merlin.
"You sit too. We are friends, not subordinates, so we don't have to be so inhibited. Merlin gestured to a leather chair next to her.
The maid brought a drink and fruit wine, placed it on the low table, and bowed and withdrew.
"The fruit wine of the Hurd auction house is very famous, and it is said that it is brewed according to the brewing method of the elven wine, and it is not usually sold outside, but can only be enjoyed by guests in the VIP room when the auction is held. But if you like it, there's still a chance. ”
Zia said, pouring a glass for Merlin.
"Elven wine?"
Merlin raised her eyebrows, gently picked up her wine glass and shook it...... The turquoise and clear liquor ripples in the glass, like a pool of spring water, full of vitality, and a delicate fruity aroma wafts into the nose, which makes people's spirits lifted.
"Interesting. I didn't expect this fruit wine to have the effect of nourishing spiritual power. Merlin sniffed the wine again in surprise, and then raised her glass and drank slowly.
The crisp liquor comes down the throat, and when it enters the appetite, it suddenly turns into a fiery ...... The warmth spread to her whole body in an instant, and the feeling of being surrounded by comfort made Merlin's eyes squint involuntarily.
The chaotic scene below seemed to be much quieter, most of the red seats were already filled, and a team of swordsmen in leather armor appeared around the auction table, I don't know if they were frightened, or realized that the auction was about to begin, and the noise gradually subsided.
A small old man who did not look amazing walked briskly to the auction table, stood in front of the table, took out a pair of round glasses and put them on, and then picked up a small hammer and knocked it gently: "Everyone, please show your qualities and keep quiet." ”
The audience immediately fell completely silent, and someone in the private room above looked down.
"Distinguished gentlemen and ladies, it is a great honour to present the Hunt Auction House at your service and to preside over today's auction. I believe that you have a full understanding of today's auction items, so I will not be verbose here. Well, now I announce that this season's auction is now officially open!"
Bang!
Before the little old man's words fell, the little hammer had already fallen with a bang.
"This old guy is quite interesting. Syphilis said with a smile.
"He's a great guy, Anthony Horns, the chief auctioneer at Hulld. Zia whispered from the side.
Most of the guests who participated in the auction focused their attention on the auction table. Some of them exchanged heads, but their voices were consciously lowered.
"According to the Bank's practice, the first auction item is the Bank's special elf wine 'Biquan'. Anthony announced loudly.
Two tall men carrying a huge oak barrel walked up to the auction table from one side and placed it next to the auctioneer.
What a big bucket!
This bucket is one end higher than Merlin, and two Merlins standing in it are probably more than enough, which shows that its weight is not light.
"According to the usual practice, Biquan will not be auctioned separately, and everyone has seen this wine barrel, which contains six hundred catties of delicious fruit wine. Although Biquan is not brewed by the elves themselves, we are also brewed in strict accordance with the process of the elves, although the production is not much, but taking a small cup before each meal is good for health, beauty and beauty, and for wizards, this fruit wine can nourish spiritual power......"
"Everyone already knows the advantages of Biquan, the starting price is 5,000 gold coins, and the bidding starts now!" Anthony's voice did not fall, and many people below began to hold signs.
