At the edge of the desert is a forest of sand that is gradually thinning.

Led by Sziez, Wille passed through the gates of the defense and came to the border, on the land of the family's domain.

Around the boundary, the farther north you go, the more you can see the trees getting closer.

Siz and Weir each rode a camel endemic to the desert as they walked toward the town that came into view.

There is a lot of sand and gravel in the desert, so most of the houses here are made of local materials, and the coarse sand and gravel are mixed with clay to create embryos and build the houses.

So, in the greenery of the end of autumn, many earthy yellow houses are lined up, reflecting the magnificent buildings made of intact rocks from a distance.

"Looks like the person we're going to see is around there?" Wiel pointed to a building in front of him.

"The one you're pointing at is the auction house, and the person we're looking for is still behind, in a house upstream of the river."

"It must be worth a lot, right?" "The rich have some strange habits," said Will. ”

"Perhaps, that person does have some habits that are different from ordinary people, but maybe it is better to call her habits hobbies." Siz rode the camel beast, jolting aside, "If I can, I'll take you through the teleportation." But mages are forbidden to use magic without permission here. ”

"It doesn't look like it's as harmonious as it seems." Wiel slowly moved forward with the undulations of the camel. "It's not bad to walk this way, and you can see the scenery here."

"The rational use of force must be observed...... You're right, the scenery looks much better than in the desert. ”

"Where do we go first? Where can I see the person you're talking about? …… By the way, what's her name? ”

"Anna, people call him Lady Anna." Sitz replied, "That's where Anna's gemstone will come to fruition. ”

"If you want to go to her house and find her, it's not very likely if you don't have a predetermined date." Sizz snapped his fingers and pulled out a scroll-like object from his clothes, "Although I have sent her a greeting,...... I'll see, well, just right, there's an auction tonight that might have something that that person likes. ”

"In that case, let's go to the auction house first, maybe we can meet that person there?" Will tried to say.

"Yes, although the time is short, I still want to participate in a small auction like this, maybe we can meet some fine things." "It's been a long time since I've had time to attend an auction, and it's good to do it once in a while. ”

"Okay, let's go there." Ver kicked the camel beneath him slightly, making it quicker.

In a short time, the two of them rode the camel beast to the main street of the auction house.

"Weel, let's come down, we can't ride on the main street." Siz rolled over and dismounted from the camel and led Ver to a hut where the camel was kept.

"Two camels, a small gold coin." The shopkeeper glanced at the mounts behind the two of them, "...... Thank you for your patronage. ”

"Oh...... It took too long to realize that I had no more gold coins. Sitz shook off his empty purse and turned to Vere, "I need to get some gold coins out, and small auctions require gold to pay for them." …… Well, it's not far ahead...... That's right, that's the auction hall, you go there and wait for me first. I'm going to go to the vault first and get some of my gold coins, and I'll be back later. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you there." Weir nodded, watching as Seaty quickly departed in the other direction.

Turning, Vere walked in the direction of the auction.

……

Walking a distance inside the main street, two or three steps down to the right, you can see a simple and elegant substantive building, with two semicircular structures protruding from the front of the house, and the elegant stone carvings highlight the literary atmosphere.

The surface of the building is coated with some tan oil, which gives the whole building a wooden texture.

The main entrance is a triangular pitched roof protruding from the entire building, like a corridor, flanked by decorative fences, and supported by two pillars in front of the main entrance on the other side of the pitched roof. In front of the pillar stood guards of soldiers, dressed in the style of desert peoples.

The time is not the start time of the big auction, but the stage of the private auction, so the auction is a bit deserted now.

"Naclay soldiers! Remind you that soldiers must stand and stand proud! ”

Before he could get closer, a rather preachy voice came from Weiel's ears.

A guard, who didn't look very old, was standing straight on the other side of the pillar, leaning at the veteran who was leaning on the other side of the pillar.

"Chest up? I'd like to stand up for my brother. The veteran was leaning on his feet and clasping his hands on his chest.

"You can be a little more unruly! Stand upright, or I'll put you in the report! ”

Wiel walked over, and both looked at each other.

Will could feel the young soldier's gaze on his face, and the veteran focused his gaze on his waist for the first time.

At the top of the diagonal triangle, an iron rod hung an iron sign with a special badge painted on it, and Weir felt that the appearance of the badge was somewhat similar to the pattern on his hand, but the difference was actually very large.

"Is this an auction house?" Weir asked.

The veteran looked at Will's wrist and replied in a nonchalant voice. "Maybe."

The young soldier next to him frowned and walked over. "Naclay soldiers! You're on duty right now, haven't you forgotten? It is forbidden to deal with civilians! ”

Then the young soldier said, "What is the purpose of your visit?" ”

"I'm curious, you don't look like any ordinary guards...... Are you soldiers? Guarding the auction? ”

The young soldier's eyes lit up and he said proudly. "Captain Rava wants you to report, this is a Naclay soldier, my subordinate."

The veteran named Naclay took a sip and turned his head to say, "Don't pee your pants excitedly." ”

"Soldiers! What did you say? ”

"I didn't say anything."

"Why are you here, the anomaly in the desert has made your defenses very urgent, right?"

"We were transferred from above, appointment number PMH-AN83, mission content, protection auction, mission level, high." Rava looked up and said proudly.

"Sodi is a war merchant, and his reputation is very high in the upper echelons, and many secret transactions have to go through him. So both the family and the church are willing to provide protection for his deals. Hey. Naclay said with a sigh.

"Private Naclay! You're leaking secrets now! ”

Weir nodded, wondering why the man named Anna would participate in such a private auction. "I'm here for the auction." Veel wanted to get inside.

"The order is clearly written, and only those who have an invitation will be able to participate in this auction...... Simple and straightforward. Rava said word for word.

"So, do you have an invitation? Civilian? "Perhaps because Wiel didn't have any insignia on his body, the word "commoner" in Rava was very clear.

"I'm here with Master Sitz, he's coming right away, I just want to go in first." Weir frowned, guessing that the one that Sitz had just taken out was the invitation for this auction.

"Don't lie, civilian, I serve in the valiant Shalit family, and I can easily see through lies."

Weir was about to explain, when suddenly Sitz's voice came from behind him.

"I've been waiting, Vere." Sitz walked over from a distance. "Why haven't you gone in yet?"

Siz looked at Rava, "Take a good look at the soldiers, this is an invitation." ”

"Yes...... It's Master Siz Stapha. Naclay looked at Szee's costume and face, staring at the coat of arms on Szee's dress.

"So what are you doing? Having trouble with my friend? Siz looked at Rava, who said intermittently, "Siz Stafhar...... He didn't have an invitation...... So ......"

Ignoring Rava Sitz, he turned to Vere, "Alright, let's go in, Vere. ”

The two stepped inside, and Naclay didn't do anything to get out of the way. Rava turned from surprise and addressed the two.

"But ......"

"No, soldier! Do you want to get back to the farmland from the army? Don't want to, right? Then shut your mouth! "Sitz showed the ...... of the aristocracy The arrogance of a scoundrel.

Rava froze on the spot.

"What an interesting experience...... Naclay snickered as he looked at the scene in front of him, at the way Rava looked.

"Shut up! Do you think I can't see?! Naclay Soldiers! Let me go! Left! Right! Left! Right! ……”

The voices of the two men disappeared outside the closed door.
