Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "Don't we really need to carry gold coins?" Your Excellency, I'm sorry I didn't doubt what you said, but wasn't the auction house in the imperial capital afraid of unforeseen problems afterwards? ”

The Duke of Lancaster's luxurious carriage was extremely spacious, and even after sitting in Leo and Auston, it did not feel cramped, and the well-sealed body of the carriage prevented the entry of the cold wind to the greatest extent, and also made it difficult for prying eyes to start

Holding the steaming tea in his hand, Leo leaned comfortably on the thick bearskin cushions, and the four healthy horses trained to pull the cart walked smoothly

If I have to say that there are any shortcomings, the lack of rubber tires and the structure without shock absorption make the rider often feel a little bumpy

Since Antonis was forced to ride his horse by the Duke, and Elena had her own carriage, the conversation between the three of them was much more relaxed, and after listening to the Duke of Lancaster introduce some common sense about the auction, Leo asked the above words with some incomprehension

Smiling at Auston, the Duke asked a less relevant question

"Leo, there isn't an auction house in your territory yet, right?"

"Yes, Stormwind is just getting started right now, and I haven't thought about these ...... yet"

"Don't be too modest, I have also learned some about your city from the mouths of Antonis and Auston, and I believe that it will not be long before the Northern Territory will emerge a city that is not weaker than the imperial capital, or even more brilliant, under your leadership."

Seeing that Leo did not refuse this evaluation, the Duke couldn't help but nod secretly, in his opinion, only incompetent people would treat compliments with sincerity, and after taking a sip of hot water, he put aside the topic and began to explain the reason for Leo

"As for the question of whether you need to carry gold coins directly, Leo, first of all, you have to understand that this represents the dignity of a nobleman, do you think, in a large auction that often costs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins, it is not a very ridiculous thing to let the nobles pull so many gold coins from their own treasury to show off the market?"

Leo subconsciously scratched the back of his head, and suddenly remembered that he had really done this, and he accompanied Elena some time ago, and in order to spend money conveniently, he often brought a cart of gold coins when he went out......

As if seeing through Leo's embarrassing reasons, the Duke comforted, "Don't think about it so much, Leo, you are still young, and you have time to get used to all these things, or to change them"

"Another thing I want to say is credibility, while our identity brings us enough convenience, it also invisibly creates constraints, even the nobles with the worst reputation dare not blatantly do things to break the trust, our family and name represent credibility, there is no doubt about it"

Auston on the side saw that the elderly duke was talking too much and was a little tired, and then explained to Leo after bowing his head slightly to the duke

"In addition, in addition to what His Excellency the Duke said, do you think that if you can have someone like the auction house in the imperial capital, you will be afraid that someone will pay the bills? What's more, except for the nobles and certain big businessmen, ordinary people are not qualified to participate at all"

Fingers lightly tapped his knees, Leo thought for a while and nodded, "I understand, I think the only people who can do this are probably the people of the royal family, because only they will make a family as great as His Excellency the Duke sell them a little face."

Holding the Lancaster family in passing, Leo looked at the Duke and Auston with a smile, "I'm looking forward to the start of this auction more and more!" ”

"Haha......!"

**********************

Hearing his grandfather's heartfelt laughter, Antonis, who was so cold that he could not huddle in a ball, pouted and rode close to Elena's carriage, teasing outside

"Dear cousin, it seems that grandfather is liking Leo more and more, and I can't say that I have the best relationship with you, and now I am going to start worrying about the gifts you need to prepare when you get married, which is really distressing......"

Elena replied to Antonis' joke by stretching out her arm from the carriage and shaking her fist a few times, and when Antonis left laughing, her heart was filled with sweetness and apprehension

After the convoy traveled slowly for a while, it finally arrived near the auction hall near the center of the imperial capital, and before getting out of the car, the Duke of Lancaster suddenly remembered something and instructed Leo again

"Well, although we don't have to carry gold coins, Leo you have to do what you can, if you take a picture of the item and can't pay in the end, it will be very troublesome, and there are some people who will use some high-value items in the competition, such as jewelry or title deeds, to replace part of the amount, which is also allowed by the rules."

After saying that, Leo and Auston got out of the carriage with them, and the Duke had already seen the owner of the auction house greet him from afar......

"Good day, Your Excellency the Duke and Your Excellency the Marquis, it is the greatest honor to see you here"

"You should be Your Excellency Leo, thank you for taking the time to participate in this little event, the lot you sent is really amazing, and of course the supporting story is also very touching, do you know that I still think of the plot and have the urge to cry......"

The owner of the auction house smiled and greeted everyone, and the familiar tone and all-encompassing communication art made no one feel ignored

High on the hairline, a thin layer of hair is meticulously combed back neatly, the smooth surface should be smeared with some animal fat, and some round faces have been wearing friendly smiles

A low-key gown was worn over Fa Fu's body, and only the most careful nobles could see from the details that the luxury of the gown contained in the gown was a tailor-made design by the most famous masters of the Empire

"Okay, Ultraman, no matter how enthusiastic you old fox is, you won't reduce a single gold coin for me, by the way, don't prepare the political officer's box today, he and Leo will be with me"

The Duke of Lancaster seemed to be very familiar with this man, and the conversation was relatively casual, and Auston, who was standing on the sidelines, just smiled and watched without interjecting

Only Leo, when he heard this person's name, almost burst out laughing "Ultraman ......"

Although he knew that this was also a normal name, he couldn't stop thinking about it, combining the giant who bullied the little monster on TV with the fat man in front of him......

Forced to hold back a laugh, Leo pretended to look at the building in front of him for fear of embarrassment

The Imperial Auction House occupies a large area, and the overall shape resembles an irregular ellipse, gradually closing from the bottom to the top, and the height is only about three stories high, but according to its size, it should have no problem accommodating thousands of people

In terms of the grandeur of the building, Stormwind can only stand tall in the Colosseum under construction

The greetings between the dukes and the dukes were almost over, and Ultraman made a gesture of invitation, leading the group towards the gate with an unchanged smile

Auston took the moment to approach Leo and reminded him, "Each guest can only bring three attendants into the auction site, you need to hurry up and decide who to choose my friend"

"Three?" Leo nodded his thanks, turned his gaze over the group of men, and thought for a moment to speak

"Finn, Batar, hmm...... Pericles, you three wait and go in with me, and you and Ardalian will rest outside with the others, and take care of our mounts and carriages by the way."

After careful consideration, Leo still left two trustworthy captains, and the profound knowledge of his new chief advisor will bring him unexpected gains......
