Nelson followed the gaze of the two and also noticed the new captain of the Cappleton caravan, Ben. Barney.

The man was dressed in a light gray tuxedo, but with a pair of brown high-top leather boots, and a thick gold necklace around his neck.

Silver eyes, dark skin, gentleman's clothing, and indigenous accessories make people feel very incongruous.

However, there were several other people present who were also dressed like this, and their identities could be recognized at a glance.

It was rare for a Kepleton caravan to auction off goods alone in a nobleman's castle, and it was likely that their gown was borrowed temporarily.

The caravan members who have been away for a long time are more like rangers, and their incompatibility with aristocratic etiquette is difficult to change overnight; Now they are all wearing tuxedos, which is already very face-saving for Marshall.

Nelson wanted to hold his glass and step forward with Ben. Barney said hello, but as the brandy in his cup shook, a sudden wariness struck in his heart.

"Elu was working as a barmaid, and almost all the nobles present were drinking...... There won't be a problem with this wine, right? Nelson narrowed his eyes and stared at the glass for a moment, a wicked smile curling into his lips.

Although it is impossible to determine whether the wine in his hand has been poisoned, with Nelson's character, he will never drink it.

Without an excuse to toast, Nelson dispelled his previous desire to take the initiative to curry favor with Ben. Barney's thoughts.

"Maybe there's a better way. For example, the banquet was ruined, the scene got out of control, the auction was stolen, and then I, the hero, recouped some of the losses...... In this way, the Kepleton caravan will definitely revisit its partnership with me. ”

Nelson began to look around to see who wasn't drinking, and then silently memorized it.

The lights in front of the hall began to dim slightly, focusing on the white jade staircase.

At this moment, a round, short fat man in a golden dress, holding a beautiful lady with blond hair and blue eyes, was slowly walking down the stairs.

The guests began to applaud politely, and Nelson began to roll his eyes habitually.

"This dead fat man, except for the slightly normal aesthetics of women, is not good at anything else, especially he can't recognize himself. This golden dress is almost like a custard bun! ”

In fact, many people have the same idea as Nelson, but maintain an adoring smile on the surface.

"Baron", in this area, is already the highest title and deserves the respect of all.

The lights in front of the hall were turned on again, and Marshall cleared his throat and said:

"First of all, thanks to Fili. Lord Harrington came to attend the banquet hosted by Benjue. ”

Marshall smiled and nodded in the direction of Filip, who nodded and smiled in return with everyone's gaze, which is more common aristocratic etiquette.

Then, it stands to reason that Nelson, a baron-to-be, should be thanked for coming.

"And then, sincere thanks Ben. Lord Barney is willing to change the location of this trade to Benjue's Eagle City. We look forward to working with you in the future. ”

Saying this sentence on the spot is actually a slap in the face of Nelson.

In particular, Marshall's emphasis on the word "change to" is a deeper meaning that everyone can hear.

Root. Barney was a little surprised, being treated with such courtesy should be regarded as the highest standard for treating a businessman. He bowed deeply to Marshall in thanks.

However, most of the eyes of the nobles present were focused on Nelson.

The decline of Stadt City and the loss of Nelson's title are not news in aristocratic circles. However, it is not a big deal to see the excitement, and everyone wants to see how the young baron-to-be will deal with it.

"No one took the initiative to say hello to me just now, dare these people know me?" Nelson touched his head, smiled shyly, raised his glass and said, "Thank you Baron Marshall for the invitation, hey, you have changed a beautiful female companion, can you introduce us to it?" ”

The two pieces of fat on Marshall's cheeks trembled, and most of his original proud look faded. His original plan was to take Gianna on the show and have her perform a wonderful magic to cheer up the auction.

As a result, a month ago, Gianna was beaten away by this bastard kid in front of her!

This story has also been compiled into many versions and circulated in aristocratic circles. This is the only point of shame after Marshall became a baron, and whoever dares to mention it in front of him will definitely launch a crazy revenge.

Of course, for Nelson himself, a simple revenge could not erase Marshall's anger at all.

At this moment, the blonde beauty beside him whispered a few words to Marshall, which made his expression immediately soften a lot.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my female companion, Nilou. Eluvin. Today, all the auction items will be displayed by her, and you only need to raise the wine glass in your hand to increase the bid. Marshall looked at Nelson again and emphatically emphasized:

"Your Excellency Nelson, if you don't have enough money, Benjue can lend you some first. Tonight's auction is full of treasures, and if you, as a baron-to-be, don't get any of them, I'm afraid you'll be sad. ”

Marshall remained unrelenting and continued to sarcastically mock Nelson in public.

Nelson was naturally not so easily irritated, he still maintained a gentlemanly smile, and replied, "I didn't bring gold coins today, you are free." But I think tonight's wine auction will be very exciting. ”

Such a degree of self-deprecation made Marshall a little speechless. However, his goal has been achieved, this kind of verbal face-saving picture is the refreshment of his heart, and as for the final defeat of the opponent, he still has to rely on his strength.

"Okay, I'm sure everyone is in a hurry, then this small auction will officially begin!" Marshall gave the butler a look, and saw the official open the door on the right.

I saw a young servant in a gray dress, holding a silver plate covered with red velvet square cloth in both hands, followed by two lightly armored guards with swords, walking towards the center step by step.

The young servant stepped over to Nilou and took a stand, and the two guards stepped back. Then, Nilou gently brushed the velvet away, revealing the first lot.

Lying on the silver platter was a somewhat worn book.

"The first lot is Casper. The autographed manuscript of Count Top's "The Never-Ending Adventure", chapters 1 to 4. ”

"As we all know, the print edition of The Never-Ending Adventure has been revised to remove the mysterious history of many races. I won't say much about the value of this manuscript, the starting price is fifty gold coins, and a one-time increase in five gold coins. ”

Nelson watched the aristocrats present raise their glasses and raise their prices, but in fact, he was also itching. He has always loved this book, and it was the narrative in the book that made him gradually understand the world.

When a precious manuscript comes along, when a more real world is in front of us, even Nielsen is hard to refuse.

But in the few seconds he hesitated, the price of the manuscript had been increased to four hundred gold coins.

Nelson sighed in frustration and began to slowly withdraw into the crowd.

"The price of this auction is really high, and with my property, there is no competition at all. Thanks to the troublemakers today, I should have kept a low profile, stood on the edge of the crowd, and if things got worse, I would have avoided them or played dead. Well, that's all! ”
