256. Respective abacus
As soon as she heard that there was still an exhibition to visit, Youlan suddenly came to her senses, and hurriedly rubbed Garlo's arm with her chest, and whispered in his ear:
"Anyway, the auction won't start until a while, so let's go to the fair, okay?"
"Just shop around and buy nothing!"
Gallo hesitated and looked at the others around him.
As a result, the reactions of the other girls were almost the same, and they were all in high spirits, even Lilian Luo and Amiya.
Maybe it's some kind of instinct that's been carved into the DNA?
"Uh... Let's take a walk..."
Gallo could only say helplessly.
The warm reception lady suddenly turned into a professional shopping guide, and hurriedly led Gallo and the others towards the nearby display case.
A wicked smile appeared on Youlan's face, and she had succeeded in her plan...
said that he was casually shopping and didn't buy anything, but after a while, he opened his mouth to be coquettish, sell cute, and rub next door, and Gallo would probably still dig out of his pocket in a daze.
She didn't want to take advantage of Gallo's little advantage, she was not short of money, let alone jewelry, the important thing was that Gallo bought it for her, which has a completely different nature.
Choosing a ring? Or a necklace? Or hairpins? Or be a little more daring, anklet?
It's better to choose a good-looking and cheap one, Gallo's recent expenses are not small, and you can't add a burden to him...
After I bought it, I managed to let him bring it to me with my own hands, and then guided him to pick my flower of destiny...
In this way, we have exchanged tokens and completed the preliminary rituals...
Youlan secretly made a small calculation in her heart, and a happy smile appeared on her face, as if she had foreseen the scene when she would win in the end.
And Mithelan, who was only one person away from her, was also silently thinking in her heart at this time.
Gallo promised to buy me a bracelet before...
Shall I buy something for him too?
The book said that girls should be generous, not stingy, and when they receive gifts, they must return the gifts in time, so as to make the relationship between the two more intimate...
But what should I give Gallo?
He likes my fur so much, why don't you give him one too?
But there doesn't seem to be any fur for sale here?
Gallo likes to stare at my legs too, or...
Youlan and Mithran each have their own calculations, and the lagging Wentini is no exception, and his heart is also full of fantasies and extravagant hopes.
If I had my eye on something, would Gallo buy it for me?
But the things here are so expensive, and if they spread out, people will misunderstand me, saying that I am a shameless bad woman...
Or forget it, right?
But I really want to, I haven't bought new jewelry in a long time...
Wentini thought sullenly, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came up with a brilliant solution:
That's right!
I lied that I didn't have any money with me, and asked Gallo to buy it for me first, and I'll give him the money back later...
In this way, even if he gave me jewelry, it didn't cost him any money!
When the time comes, let Gallo help me bring it, and I can take advantage of it...
Phew! How could I have such shameless thoughts?
Woo... I'm such a bad woman...
The more she thought about it, the more shy she became, and her pretty face turned red, looking delicate.
It's a pity that I only dare to think, I don't dare to act, and I don't even dare to think too boldly...
As for Lilian Lo, she didn't have much interest in jewelry, just to watch the fun.
These human ornaments don't quite fit the aesthetics of the dragons, and they're too small to be carried...
And the rest of Amiya is even more desireless.
However, everyone walked around for a while, but they never paid.
The jewelry on the first floor is of average quality and lacks appeal.
The reception lady was also experienced, so she didn't continue to take them around the jewelry exhibition area, but changed to the collectibles exhibition area next to it.
Most of the furnishings here are armor, oil paintings, sculptures, etc., and the girls are not very interested, but Gallo is very interested.
He has always felt that there are some less relevant furnishings in his church, and the overall appearance is a little empty.
In the past, he had no money and no heart to toss these, but today he is rare to have leisure and money, but he can ponder and ponder it.
So after some wandering, he bought a shiny decorative armor first.
Then the reception lady enthusiastically sold the decorative swords to him.
"Swords? No, no, dancing with a sword doesn't fit my style. ”
Gallo shook his head and said.
The reception lady knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly apologized, and at the same time self-examined in her heart:
Although this rich man is dressed very tackyly and has a lot of women around him, his face is very weak and quite handsome...
He must be trying to take the gentle gentleman's route, right? Being able to accept armor is the limit, how can I recommend swords and murder weapons?
Mistakes, mistakes...
But she didn't even think about how to save from the embarrassment in front of her, but she heard Gallo continue to ask:
"Is there any decorative flail here, or a meteor hammer?"
"Huh?!"
The reception lady was dumbfounded, thinking that she had misheard.
"Sorry, I didn't hear you..."
Gallo had no choice but to reiterate his needs.
The reception lady realized that she had overestimated this product, he was not interested in weapons, nor did he want to take any elegant route, he simply disliked the sword was too slender and had no lethality...
She could only explain with an embarrassed face:
"I'm sorry sir, we don't have similar items in stock..."
"None? What about two-handed hammers and skull crusher hammers? ”
Gallo asked again.
Why can't you get along with the hammer?!
The reception lady was speechless, shook her head again and again, and apologized again and again.
Gallo looked disappointed and sighed:
"Well, why don't you even have a hammer? How do you buy and sell..."
I'll do your hammer deal!
The reception lady shouted in her heart, but her face relied on superb professionalism to maintain her expression, and she smiled vigorously.
In the end, Gallo could only lower his requirements again and ask:
"There is no hammer, there should always be a two-handed axe and a two-handed heavy sword, right?"
The reception lady felt like she was going crazy...
You're kidding me, aren't you? You must be kidding me, right?
We are here to focus on jewelry auctions, and the ornaments of various armor and weapons are simply an addition and foil!
You like weapons so much, why don't you go to the weapons shop?!
This guy is really blind to this net worth and this skin...
I was going to leave him an address...
Unfortunately, Gallo could not hear her, and continued to wander elsewhere.
In the end, he bought a lot of things in a mess, in addition to the armor, he also bought a few delicate candlesticks, two rockeries with a distorted appearance, a few abstract wood carvings, and a few frames carved with ornate patterns.
These things are simply in line with his own aesthetics, and he has not considered the effect of putting them in the church.
Anyway, it's not expensive, and a lot of things add up to just over 100 gold, and the cost performance is quite high.
The hostess will arrange for the carriage and horses to deliver the things to the church, and there is no need for Galodo to worry about it.
As for the empty frames, he planned to go back and ask a great painter to help paint a few beautiful paintings, the theme of which was to sing the praises of the goddess and praise the teachings, and then use the pictures to record the current state of life in the church, and then frame it and hang it.
You can't find an ordinary painter for this matter.,You have to find a big hand in the industry.,The style of painting is best to be cute.,Young.,And the kind that's good at drawing legs.。
Before leaving the collectibles section, Gallo wandered to a book display case, caught by an old yellowed book.
The book was very old, as if it would break if touched, and the cover was still written in the ancient lingua franca, which was in stark contrast to the various famous books of this world next to it.
You're not interested in these cultural things, are you?
The reception lady sneered in her heart, but she still introduced enthusiastically:
"Sir, this book is an old book with a long history, the whole book is written in the ancient lingua franca, and it describes a poignant love story..."
"Nonsense!"
Youlan on the side retorted not very politely:
"Isn't it written on this cover "Battlefield Notes"? How could it be love? ”
The reception lady suddenly blushed, and quickly explained:
"I'm sorry, this young lady, I misremembered..."
As a result, Gallo helped Youlan to reply:
"It's okay, I'm a little interested in this book, how much is it?"
He was always interested in old books, especially those that recorded history.
Because although there are many old books in the underground library, they are all recorded in divine arts, and there is no history related.
And old books in this area are already hard to find outside...
The reception lady glanced at the small piece of paper in her hand and replied:
"This is an item deposited by a collector of historical relics in our Chamber of Commerce, and it is said to be an authentic copy of the age, not a manuscript..."
"You only need to pay 500 gold to get this precious historical artifact."
"A book, 500 gold?!"
Gallo's eyes widened when he heard this.
Rao is with his current net worth, and it is too extravagant to spend 500 gold to buy such an old book that I don't know what is written.
It's not just him, even the girls around him think the price is too exaggerated.
Even Miss Lian herself showed a wry smile and explained:
"This price was imposed by the collector who sold it on consignment, and insisted on refusing to lower the price..."
"'History is supposed to be priceless,'" he said.
Gallo shook his head, he couldn't afford such an expensive book, and he had to keep the money to buy the purple diamond.
But Mithran, who was next to him, suddenly stepped forward and said:
"I'll buy it."
With that, she pulled out a card from under the hem of her skirt and handed it to the reception lady.
The other party took the card, his expression suddenly became much more solemn, and he hurriedly said:
"Distinguished guest, please wait..."
With that, he trotted away.
Gallo wanted to stop her and stop Dull from doing something irrational.
But Mithelan stood in front of him, looked into his eyes, and said earnestly:
"Since Gallo you like it, then I like it too, so I'll buy it and give it to you."
Gallo's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, moved and delighted.
Sure enough, it's better to be dumb!
And Youlan next to her was stunned, realizing that she had made a mistake and let her opponent seize the opportunity...
Really, there is no shortage of these five hundred gold, why did I suddenly hesitate?
No... It's Bishop Mitheran who is too fast...
What a cunning opponent!
As for Wentini, the idea is more similar at this time.
Well, Bishop Mitheran is so rich and too smart...
How can I overcome such a formidable opponent?
Can't think of a way...
What should I do?
A moment later the receptionist returned, and brought a beautiful black wooden box, and took the book from the display case, put it in the wooden box, and handed it to Misheran along with the card.
Mitheran handed it over to Gallo.
The two then looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of the taste of dog food.
"The collector also left a letter saying that if someone bought the book, he would give it to the guest."
As she spoke, the reception lady took out another letter, which had been painted with fire, and presented it to Misheran with both hands.
The book was bought by Mithelan, and of course the letter was given to her, not to Gallo.
And since Mitheran took out the card, the attitude of the reception lady has changed slightly, her tone has become a little weaker, and she no longer dares to secretly look at Gallo, let alone leave an address or something.
Even Gallo noticed the change, and whispered in Miserland's ear:
"That card seems special, huh?"
"That's Uncle Artanis' birthday present, like a VIP card from this chamber of commerce?"
Mitheran replied quietly.
In this way, it is understandable that the attitude of the reception lady has changed.
The group then left the collectibles section and continued to wander around the jewellery section, waiting for the auction to begin.
This time, the reception lady took them directly to a relatively high-end area, and the jewelry on display was much better than the previous ones, although it was not as good as the things at the auction, but it was not much different.
According to the reception lady, these jewelry were originally auction-grade, but the overall quality of this auction was extremely high, and this part was brushed off.
Youlan originally wanted to pick a piece of jewelry here, but noticed that the price of these things was not cheap, and it was generally one or two hundred gold pieces, so she couldn't help but feel sorry for Garlo's money, thought about it, and finally gave up.
Although she lost to Mitheran for the time being, she still has a chance later.
Gallo got the book written entirely in the ancient lingua franca, so he always needed his own teacher and translator, right?
If you don't eat him up and wipe him clean when the time comes, I'm really sorry for the careful teaching of the Witch Sect.
Instead, Gallo took the initiative to speak:
"Miss Youlan, what do you think of this brooch?"
As he spoke, he pointed to a beautiful brooch encrusted with large sapphires in the display case.
He doesn't know if Youlan likes it or not, anyway, he likes it himself.
Because the sapphire on it is beautiful, like a dull eye.
And Youlan didn't expect Garlo to be so active, and she didn't think much about it, so she nodded excitedly:
"Hmmm! Pretty! Pretty! Like! ”
