On this day, the thunder dragon got up early, because the rare goods auction was held in the inner city, and according to the news of Kress's assassin team, in order to participate in the rare goods auction, you had to buy admission tickets, so you had to get up early.

The only people who traveled with the thunder dragon were Lan Ke'er, and the rest of them all had affairs to deal with.
Thunder Dragon and Lan Ke'er hurried to the inner city, and when they arrived in the inner city, the sun had just risen.
The auction of rare items is held in the royal auction house in the inner city, when all kinds of nobles, wealthy merchants, and officials come to the auction site to participate in the auction, which is also an annual blessing in the Kingdom of Swadia.
The seven-day auction, which lasts for seven days, is the penultimate rare auction, and the auction held in the first five days is the exclusive session of ordinary nobles, and the items to be auctioned in this rare auction will be of interest even to big people such as dukes, so the small nobles with insufficient financial resources can only play a supporting role in this auction.
But this also attracted the small nobles of Suno and the surrounding areas, and even if they couldn't afford it, they could open their eyes and have a long insight.
After all, the news in this world is extremely closed, ordinary people can't get out of their birthplace in their lives, and the little nobles are also in this embarrassing situation, and the scarce troops can't let them safely appreciate the breadth of the world. But the pride of pride makes them want to know as much about the outside world as possible in order to show their nobility at aristocratic banquets.
The thunder dragon has a deep understanding of this, and the place he remembers most is Vader Village, where he only knows the existence of the lord, and he doesn't know what kind of rights and strength the lord has.
Even the strange beasts, fierce beasts, etc., were told to him by Sarion, and it was only in this era that the news was closed to this extent.
And tomorrow's slave girl auction is far less important than today's rare goods auction, and even ten years ago there was no girl slave auction, in fact, this also verifies the saying that where there is demand, there is a market.
Now that the six kingdoms of the continent are becoming more and more corrupt in the years of war, the nobles who are the rulers of the people are suddenly realizing that they are not happy now, and it is too late to die later.
Therefore, in response to the call of the nobles, the alliance of top auction houses in the mainland decided to add a female slave auction to the back of the rare goods auction to meet the morbid requirements of some nobles, merchants, and officials.
When Thunder Dragon and Lan Ke'er arrived in the inner city, they had to slow down their rides, as the surrounding streets were full of nobles' carriages and accompanying escort soldiers.
"Looks like this auction has attracted the attention of the whole city."
Thunder Dragon said lightly, looking at Lan Ke'er and finding that her hand wearing chain mail gloves was holding the reins tightly, even if she was wearing a giant helmet, Thunder Dragon could feel that her face must be very bad.
Then the brontosaurus looked at her waist again, and after glancing at her, the brontosaurus smiled.
Little Tiger, I still put on the bell I gave her.
With a dry cough, the two of them continued along the long convoy ahead.
It didn't take long for a magnificent building to appear in front of them, and the outside of this huge structure was already full of guards on guard, far more powerful and powerful than the guards brought by the minor nobles.
Thunder Dragon couldn't help but smack his tongue when he saw it, these soldiers who acted as guards outside were all Swadia sergeants, Swadia sergeants were the highest level of infantry in the Swadia Kingdom, but after all, most of the territory of the Swadia Kingdom was plains, and the power of cavalry was developed to the extreme by the Swadia Kingdom, so the infantry and archers could only be regarded as usable, but it was also shocking to see so many high-level soldiers.
After getting off the horse, the thunder dragon asked Lan Ke'er to wait for him in place for a while, and he went to buy the admission ticket.
Walking to the deacon area of the auction, Lei Long inquired a little and learned that the admission tickets were divided into low, medium, and high grades, and the ticket prices of each class were different, one low-class admission ticket was one hundred dinars, one medium was five hundred dinars, and the higher ones reached one thousand dinars.
After a little consideration, the thunder dragon decided to buy two medium tickets, and after the purchase, the thunder dragon looked at the thin two pieces of paper in his hand and felt a pain in his flesh.
The net profit of the tent factory he opened was only 1,000 dinars a month, and these two pieces of paper actually cost him a month's profit.
After that, he took Lan Keer from the middle entrance into the auction hall, and was full of luxurious, almost extravagant decoration, and the floor was covered with fine velvet.
The chandelier hanging on the roof is made of crystal, and the candles on it are not ordinary candles, but they are filled with phosphorescent powder, and the light is as soft and bright as the light emitted by the real LED lights.
The phosphorescent powder is made by grinding the wings of the Giant Wing Moth, so the price of each of these candles is around ten dinars, which is really expensive. The first time Lei Long saw it was at that aristocratic banquet, and he saw five or six lamps.
However, there are one of these chandeliers every ten meters in the venue, and I don't know how much these chandeliers cost in the auction.
On both sides of the inner aisle stood all handmaidens with beautiful facial features, each carefully dressed, and you could smell a burst of perfume when you got closer.
"Please come with me, these two gentlemen, and I will lead the way for them."
At this time, a beautiful maid with slightly revealing clothes came to Lei Long and Lan Ke'er and bowed her head and said.
Thunder Dragon and Lan Ke'er immediately followed her to the intermediate seating area.
The low, medium and high three-level seating areas are arranged very carefully, and the low-level seating areas are the farthest away from the position of the auctioneer, and the view is not good, which is basically the position of the small nobles who lack financial resources.
The intermediate seating area is located in the middle of the auction hall, and compared to the lower seating area, the seats are wide and thick, and there are maids standing beside them, so you can leave the bids and comfortable services to the maids.
The premium seating area is the front row of the venue, and to sit there is not only an expensive ticket price, but also a corresponding identity. Otherwise, if everyone could sit with the royal family as long as they had money, the nobles would feel that their dignity had been trampled on.
The personnel entered the venue one after another, and a confident smile appeared on everyone's face, after all, the people who can come here are either rich or expensive.
"Lord Duke, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and Lord Marquis have arrived!"
Suddenly, there was a voice at the door, and the slightly noisy venue instantly fell silent, almost in unison, everyone stood up, supported their right chest with their left hand, took off their hats with their right hands, and bowed forward slightly.
Brontosaurus and Lan Ke'er looked at all this coldly and did not get up to salute, if it was only Duke Greyward, Brontosaurus was willing to salute, but Vince Mock and Rafassie were also there, if they saluted, Brontosaurus himself felt like they were bowing their heads.
