In Mrs. Carola's words, Gallo keenly captured the three keywords of 'top', 'luxury' and 'auction'.

These are three words that will definitely not be associated with him.

So he didn't need to think about it, waved his hand again and again, and politely refused:

"Thank you for your kindness, but this kind of occasion really doesn't suit me."

Although he said it tactfully, the meaning was already very clear, the people who are not suitable for the auction are not the poor?

But Lady Carola was mistaken, thinking that he really had no interest in such occasions...

But she should have said all this, and she didn't need to say much, but she persuaded with unusually patience:

"Aren't there a lot of pretty girls around you? There are a lot of beautiful and expensive jewelry at the auction, aren't you going to take them to play? ”

"And there will be a lot of noble ladies in attendance, it will be a great opportunity to make friends with them, and maybe it will bring you a wonderful and charming encounter?"

Gallo was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer at all, and always felt that this lady had a deep misunderstanding of herself, and the direction of the misunderstanding was very strange, which made it difficult to explain.

From the perspective of a bystander, it is indeed not to blame that Mrs. Carola thinks too much, every time she sees Gallo, the girls who follow her are different...

The first time was a noble and elegant maiden priest; The second time was a handsome and capable young sheriff; Today it's this well-behaved and quiet interracial maid.

And each one of them is very beautiful and cute, gentle and sticky, and it is a top beautiful girl who can definitely be sought after by thousands of people when placed outside.

But Gallo's attitude towards them is not as enthusiastic as he imagined, and he seems to focus only on his career and religion?

This often brings a story that should be beautiful and happy to a tragic end.

Lady Carola has seen and heard too much of this kind of thing in her life, and Garlow's first refusal was actually expected by her.

So out of appreciation for Gallo, she reminded a little more with the mentality of an elder.

Of course, she also stopped at the point, and did not say anything more, but handed Gallo a booklet.

That's the auction catalog.

In the middle of the booklet are two beautiful invitations, made of black frosted paper, with delicate lace carved on the surface, which at first glance look very noble, not something that can be easily obtained.

"Why don't you go back and talk to the girls, they might be interested?"

Lady Carola finally said, and at the same time silently sighed in her heart:

I hope this young and handsome young man will not let down those beautiful girls.

It seems that she is not worried about Gallo's financial problems at all...

Even to this day, I think that Gallo is willing to help him make an enchantment, for the sake of Sir Donald's face.

Although Gallo is dressed more modestly on the surface, not at all like a rich man, his real luxury is not in himself, but in the beautiful maid behind him.

Others may not realize what an orc maid means, but Lady Carola, who is in the upper echelons, knows it...

Although orcs are not very rare in the city of innocence, they are still relatively rare overall, after all, the orc settlement is too far away from the empire.

Orcs are rare, such a beautiful and lovely orc girl must be more cherished, so a beautiful orc maid is naturally a symbol of identity, status, and financial resources!

This is low-key luxury, which only people with real taste and heritage can have and enjoy!

So in the eyes of Lady Carola, Gallo must be very, very rich, I'm afraid not inferior to herself, the simple robe on his body, and the simple necklace around his neck, should not be ordinary...

And Gallo faced Lady Carola's second invitation, although he still had no interest in the auction, he couldn't refuse the kindness of the owner twice in person, right? That's rude...

At last he took the pamphlet and replied:

"Thank you for your kindness, if I have time to go back, I will go."

That was the case, but he had already thought about what he would say at that time.

When the time comes, he said that he was too busy arranging the enchantment to pull away, and I believe that Lady Carola would not say anything.

He really didn't think there was any point in this auction, did he dare to put religious relics, lost magic books and other things on the table and sell them?

Other than that, he really didn't have much interest in anything else.

After a few more casual pleasantries, Gallo left the mansion on the pretext that he was going to prepare materials.

When he left, he had an extra check worth 30,000 gold coins in his arms.

This was Mrs. Carola's advance payment for the materials, and Gallo's thirty percent deposit.

When the enchantment is ready, the rest of his gratuity will be made up.

So don't look at the check is just a thin piece of paper, in his pocket, but it makes him feel heavy.

As soon as Gallo and Amiya walked out of the mansion, Amiya couldn't wait to stuff her little hand into Gallo's palm.

It looks like I've been patient for a long time...

"Ahem, you've been around here too, haven't you? Why do you keep holding hands like a child? ”

Gallo asked with a little crying and laughing.

Amiya didn't answer, just stared at him silently, her cyan eyes as if they wanted to reflect Gallo's shadow in them.

"Looks like you're probably scared, right? Replaced with this fragile body, there is no sense of security that was strong and powerful before, right? That's why you have to hold me all the time? ”

"Why do you think you're doing this?"

Gallo said helplessly, and took Amiya into the little donkey cart and drove towards the nearby silver.

After taking out the money, he began to visit the alchemy workshop in the city again.

In recent days, various shops in the city have reopened, and the alchemy workshop is the most prosperous, producing many of the materials needed for the reconstruction project.

And Gallo needed a lot of materials to make the enchantment, and many of them were too valuable to buy, so he ended up spending almost a whole day visiting all the alchemy workshops in the city before he could barely buy most of them.

Fortunately, there was enough space in his sleeve, otherwise the little donkey cart would not have fitted at all.

He visited all the alchemy workshops in the city, and almost all the bosses and shopkeepers he met were middle-aged men, and he didn't meet the cute and beautiful girl boss of meat, but they were quite reliable, and the types of materials sold were quite complete, and there were no defective products, and the price increase was also within a reasonable range.

Maybe it's because the castle lord has taken strong regulatory measures, right?

And some of the missing scarce goods, orders have also been placed, and the workshop will send them to him one after another when the goods arrive.

The process of purchasing the materials went smoothly and although it took a lot of time, it was a very pleasant experience overall.

It's just that the various eyes that Amiya attracted make people a little uncomfortable, and the hand is held by it all the time, and it is a little inconvenient...

But what's even happier is that the city is gradually recovering.

Gallo walked around the city, where reconstruction was in full swing and orderly, with brand-new houses and streets taking shape.

Most of the homeless have been sheltered and resettled, there are no refugees on the streets, law and order has returned to normal levels, residents can be seen hanging out on the streets, and it is believed that what happened to Mrs. Carola will not be repeated.

And there was no cultist on the street, which made Gallo feel relieved and a little regretful.

But in any case, the city of innocence is rapidly recovering, and it is believed that it will soon return to its former prosperous and stable appearance.

This made Gallo feel that his efforts had not been in vain.

However, when he finally calculated, he found that this trip cost exactly 23,333 gold...

It's a lot more expensive than he had estimated...

But the owner himself doesn't care, and of course Gallo won't feel sorry for the rich woman.

But it can also be seen that the alchemy industry is really very profitable, and the output is all real money.

It's much stronger than copper smelting, and I don't know what copper smelting can produce?

At the same time, this is the first time Gallo has spent money so quickly.

Is this what it feels like to be rich? Loved, loved...

How good would I be if I had money?

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

However, he was also acutely aware of how expensive enchantments were, and that the gold coins burned faster than paper...

Originally, he planned to arrange a set of higher quality and better performance enchantments on the side of the underground library to protect the safety of the library.

It is the most important place in the sect besides the statue of the goddess, so it must be closely guarded.

But now it seems that the funds are still a little far behind, and with his current family background, he really can't afford to burn it...

Sure enough, money is always too little to use, and you still have to work hard to make money.

So when he got home in the evening, Gallo just had a hasty dinner, and hurried to the basement of the villa to deal with the newly purchased materials, and he didn't even bother to exercise and play with Lillian Luo.

The old bishop also went to help, and Amiya cleaned up the table like a real maid.

After the materials of the Alchemy Workshop are bought, they cannot be used directly, and they have to be processed again before they can be used in the enchantment.

For example, if Gallo wants to arrange a divine enchantment, he has to use the divine magic to repeatedly wash these materials like he practiced blessings before, so as to change some of the characteristics of the materials and give them a divine aura.

This step, known as 'sanctification', is not very technical in itself, and is a laborious and time-consuming task.

And human beings have limits, and the power of faith in the body also has limits, and if you want to improve the efficiency of sanctification, you need more manpower.

For example, the materials used by the three major Orthodox churches to repair the Wall of Sighs were produced by gathering more than 300 priests, day and night, and working tirelessly.

Therefore, large-scale enchantment, whether it is a rigid requirement for financial and human resources, or technical strength, is not something that small sects can play.

Even the medium-sized barrier that Gallo was going to lay out would take months to sanctify by just one person, according to common sense.

The key steps, such as the sanctification of the energy sources of the enchantment, such as power stones and energy crystals, take more time.

"Whew... Almost, right? It's time to rest..."

The old bishop wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, looked at the completely dark sky, and proposed.

Gallo nodded, he had been out for a day today, and when he came home, he had been working on materials, and he was tired and sleepy with his body.

"How much is missing?"

The old bishop asked again.

With such a large amount of work, it must be busy all night.

Gallo looked around the basement, got a rough estimate of the current progress, and replied:

"The efficiency is not good, only about one-fifth of it was completed in one night, and at this rate, it will take five days, and today and Tuesday, it may not be finished within this week."

"Five days?!"

The old bishop's eyes widened when he heard this, and he looked down at the material that almost covered the basement, and he didn't know how to complain...

The same amount of work, even if it is handled by a large sect with sufficient manpower like the Divine Light Sect, it will take about a week, right?

The production capacity of your own sect is about the same as that of the three major Orthodox churches?

Are we also a big sect?

The old bishop sighed silently, and he knew very well that this efficiency had little to do with him.

I'm just an ordinary pastor, and thanks to my friends in the Tao, I was given the title of a saint, but I didn't have any good way to deal with it, I just took my time step by step.

It's all thanks to Gallo...

This kid is not only proud of me, he has grown into an existence that I must look up to...

The protagonists in the script are not so exaggerated, so how can the story of the senior brother be made up in the future?

And Gallo saw the old bishop's contemplative look, and thought that he was disgusted with the efficiency being too slow and the work too hard, so he hurriedly said:

"You're old, don't force yourself, don't come to do this in the future, I'll see if I can find a dumb help."

"Alas... Although our sect is a big sect, there are too few people! But Lilian Ann Luo is still sleeping..."

He sighed in a low voice, and then turned his gaze to the little milk cats who were floating around him, trying to roll around and sell cute.

He was busy outside today, and when he came home and was in a hurry to deal with the materials, he didn't play with the little milk cats, and now that he was a little free, they were in a hurry to come over and be coquettish, and wanted Gallo to play with him.

"Well, I know how to play, when will you grow up a little bit and be able to help?"

Gallo said, helplessly grabbed the two little milk cats left and right, and rubbed them hard in front of his face.

But rubbing and rubbing, he found that his last sentence was not quite right, the little milk cats are still a little growing?

It's just that the head hasn't changed at all, it's still the size of a palm, and the limbs are short; The teeth and claws are not fully grown, but they are still soft; Even the tail is still very short...

Where they grow, is actually the cheeks? The face has become rounder and cute...

Don't grow a head, first cheeks?

What kind of weird evolutionary route is this?
