Chapter 117: Auction

Harry was excited, and since they were waiting for news from Sarah, it would be nice to relax now. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Not interested. Phoenix just said, "What's next?"

"There's a big family in the city that has a wedding feast today, and there are a lot of girls with long legs and black silk, and I don't think you're—" He glanced at Hermione and dragged a long voice, "-not interested. Go to Southby, there's a batch of good stuff today. ”

"Oh, what's there?" said Phoenix.

"It's hard to say, part of the Quidditch Euro betting proceeds last year. Specially pick out some to auction, you know the cat, you really enjoy it. ”

With that, Orion took his leave and went to the dinner. He was the head of Peverell's management of the Wanbang City property, and he was very busy.

"Thorby?" Hermione seemed to think of something, "I'd love to hear it." ”

"Yes, that auction house was founded by one of our Squibs in the Muggle world, and later reversed the auction house in the wizarding world, and the service philosophy he founded really doesn't say. "Phoenix came, and the spirit pulled Hermione away.

Harry went to see Quidditch, and there would be no danger in their shops anyway. Phoenix said that Hermione agreed to accompany him to see it, and promised to buy her a Valentine's Day present.

"Valentine's Day has long passed!" Hermione stroked her forehead.

"Oh - I'm talking about Valentine's Day in the wizarding world, it's today, I don't say, you don't know. "Phoenix is calm and not embarrassed at all.

He only knew that there was such a festival, and because there was no holiday, he didn't bother to remember the time of this festival.

Entering the lobby, there are two columns of waiters standing at the door. Dressed in different customs from around the world, half of which Phoenix suspects are Muggle costumes.

Two waiters, a man and a woman, greeted them. I took them to the elevator and went to the third floor, where I saw the flowery interior, carved windows, doors and screens.

The combination of East and West is very appropriate.

"After all, it was done in one go," Phoenix pouted, "The pavilion at home is sent back, and it is awkward to look at it when it swings into the backyard." ”

"I like it. Hermione took his arm.

"Then I'll put the center of the maze another day. ”

Hermione hammered him and said, "That plant maze is so big, I want to go and sit in the pavilion?"

"You're humble, you're very good at it. "Phoenix tells the truth.

Both Muggles and wizards are popular for lawn mazes, which are planted in the style of a maze. Hermione had been to the Garden Labyrinth of Villa Pisar, Italy, a famous Muggle labyrinth. It is located in Villa Pisar, just outside Venice. Hermione walked out on her own, without magic.

There was also a complicated labyrinth behind the castle, and it took Hermione 2 hours to get out, and Phoenix and Harry didn't leave until dinner.

They've been in the Triwizard Tournament maze before, and there's no obstacle in it - there are some annoying jungle elves.

"But sometimes I don't want to be in that much trouble. Hermione said happily.

We walked half a circle down the circular corridor to the door of a huge box with a living sphinage carved into it. On the lintel is an carved plaque of elm, which reads in Latin: "Seize today". Translated, it actually means to be happy in time.

Because half of the people who come here are chasing girls.

“Dubistmein,ichbindein:dessensollstdugewi?sein。 DubistverschlosseninmeinemHerzen:verlorenistdasSchlüsselein:dumusstfürimmerdrinnensein。 Phoenix casually read a Latin verse.

"You're not a fool. Hermione's face flushed, and she subconsciously played with her hair.

The door opened automatically, and there were three or four layers of coral bead curtains inside, and when I opened it, I immediately smelled a faint fragrance.

Inside is a large space, with high ceilings full of intricate patterns, which are cleverly integrated with the patterns and decorations on the surrounding walls. When I looked at it, I thought I had entered a botanical garden.

The room was reserved for the Peverell patriarch all year round, but unfortunately his father was not interested in it. There was a hint of lifelessness in the room, which made it a little uncomfortable.

Next to a small carved table with a tea set on it.

"I want lemon tea, chilled, thank you. ”

"I want black tea, thank you. ”

The two waiters soon returned and served them tea and some fruit snacks.

"I didn't expect you to drink lemon tea when you were a kid, it's a Muggle drink. ”

"Sweet and sour, good taste. Phoenix drank half a glass in one go, and the cup was immediately full.

A waiter came up with a tray lined with a red cloth, and in the tray lay two hardcover pamphlets.

"Hopefully Orion didn't lie to me. As he spoke, he had opened the roster and looked at it urgently.

The first page is a welcome message, and on the second page is a large photograph with a jade pendant on top of it on a sky blue cushion. The jade pendant is a white jade round carving, with the yin line carved out of the eyes, gills, abdominal fins, tail and other details, the mouth of the double fish perforated with a gold chain to tie the wear.

In the third year of Yuanzhan (118 B.C.), the Han Emperor sent Zhang Mian as an envoy to Daqin, with 46 Wu, 198 Wei, and 200 horses.

In the fourth year of the Yuan Hunt, the mission was raided in Assyria and the entire army was destroyed.

International Confederation of Wizards, Department of Modification and Destruction of Antiquities provides references.

The next page are two pendants stolen from the Egyptian pyramids. The purpose of the same is unknown, but there are two color photos. The pendants were placed in two coffins, one for the pharaoh and one for his personal sorcerer advisor.

There is also a mural below, which testifies that the pendant was indeed a personal item of the pharaoh during his lifetime. This can greatly increase its value, and it may not be a defensive treasure.

Before he could turn the next page, it was completely dark, and the central giant chandelier was turned on, and the magnificent light and shadow were gathered, and those Persian carpets and ornaments suddenly became very dim and gorgeous in this light.

Then the people below began to agitate, and an auctioneer appeared on the table below, announcing that the auction was about to begin, and asking the waiters to begin distributing the bells for bidding.

"Still selling living animals?" Hermione was a little surprised.

"Ah," he craned his neck to look over, "the unicorn, a Chinese specialty." Well, that's a good thing, and it's useful -- and so on. ”

He frowned slightly and looked at the Qilin's explanation.

"It's not worth much. ”

This unicorn is not wild, but a failed product of an East Asian sorcerer's magical creature modification. Because the research cost is huge, I have to auction something for money.

Re-transforming magical creatures is much more difficult than animals like Hippogriffs. Hippogriffs are just a few non-magical creatures stitched together, and the structure of magical creatures is completely different, maybe this unicorn doesn't even have half of the original abilities.

But it's not impossible to be a treasure, maybe the inventor is a madman, and what he thinks is a failure is actually shocking enough.
