Chapter 45 Trade Fair

Viola closed the door and left, and Wren listened to her footsteps and entered the elevator to go downstairs.

He got up and made a successful gesture with a fist, and with a "yes" sound in his mouth, his face could no longer suppress the excitement, and he walked around the room, not thinking about practicing the piano at all.

If it weren't for the fear of being heard, he would have wanted to shout and vent his joy.

Is there anything more exciting in the world than being favored by a beauty? and a peerless beauty, I already have thoughts about her!

Although Viola has not made it clear, her demeanor and emotions, as well as taking the initiative to teach herself to play the piano, are enough to show that she has a good impression of herself.

Throughout the afternoon, the communication between the two was in that hazy and vague state, quite ambiguous.

This feeling reminded Wren of his first love in his previous life, full of anticipation, but afraid that it was just a sweet dream.

He sat down in front of the harpsichora, his fingers playing randomly on the keys, no tune, just a few single keystrokes, and a monotonous note.

As the notes jumped, Wren gradually calmed down and his thoughts became clear.

Maybe his conditions are really good, he is an absolute potential stock, and he is qualified to make the opposite sex tempted, even if it is a beauty like Viola, but Viola's performance seems to be too active, and he does not consider the current strength, status, family background and age of the two of them, which is a bit abnormal.

Viola's emotions are supposed to be real, as can be seen from the state of her soul.

However, even if she had an idea, she shouldn't be so eager.

At least she has to contact her for a period of time before acting, instead of being easily carried away by love like a girl who has not been deeply involved in the world.

Being able to run the Violet House and being a sixth-level wizard, Viola would never be so hasty.

Unless she has another reason.

Wren suddenly found that his understanding of Viola was very limited, he didn't know her background, what her full name was, her family background, or even whether she was married, and it was impossible to guess her true purpose for a while.

"I have to be careful not to get used to my brain. ”

Wren warned himself that his mind suddenly lightened, so he opened the score, chose a random piece, and began to practice the piano in earnest.

Soon after, Viola returned.

She also seemed to realize that she had gone too far, so she deliberately sat farther away, her demeanor was still so casual and natural, but there was a sense of distance, and said: "Wren, the trade fair will start later, wait for you to enter the market with me." ”

"Okay, is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Wren asked, nodding.

"You're just here to see things in the evening, to make friends by the way, and if you don't buy anything, it's better to watch the excitement. ”

Viola probably gave Wren an introduction to the rules of the fair.

This is actually a gathering between transcendents initiated by the Violet House, and the participants are usually customers of the Violet House, but also friends whom Viola knows, or friends of friends, who are invited to come.

The Violet House provides venues and services where guests can move around and mingle with others in much the same way as a banquet.

It's just that at this banquet, people will trade at the same time.

The Violet House first displays a number of goods, which are usually of great value, and the highest bidder gets them like an auction, taking the opportunity to sell some things that are usually difficult to get rid of.

For example, the Soul Melting Seed that Wren bought, in fact, Viola displayed it several times at the trade fair, and the initial price was 3,000 gold guilders, but then the price fell again and again, falling to 1,500 gold guilders, and still no one bought it.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that most of the guests who participate in the trade fair are already transcendent, and there is no demand for the Soul Melting Seed at all.

And there are very few people who are willing to become battle wizards, and it is normal that they can't sell it.

The highlight of the fair is what the guests bring.

Most guests bring at least a few precious items to try to sell to the desired buyer for a bigger bang for their buck, or to find something they've been looking forward to for a long time.

There is no limit to the types and prices of items traded, weapons and armor, demon souls, alchemy items, magic seals, soul crystals, potions, mounts, magic cards, rare materials, gems, luxury goods, knowledge, real estate title deeds, company shares, as long as it is valuable, you can trade here.

Of course, as the organizer, Violet House also shoulders the responsibility of identifying the authenticity of the items and pricing them.

For all transactions reached, Violet House charges a service fee, which is calculated at 5% of the transaction price, and both parties contribute half.

There are also some customers who, in order to save this service fee, will make a deal with the other party privately.

This situation is rare, because without the guarantee of the organizer, it is easy to be deceived and the gains outweigh the losses. So to be on the safe side, most of the guests are willing to pay a service fee.

Sometimes, a trade fair can earn thousands of gold for the organizer's service fees.

However, there are pros and cons, and there are also considerable risks associated with such a trade fair, and if the appraisal is wrong and the organizer has to compensate for the loss.

If you are unlucky, you will lose blood and even ruin your reputation.

Trade fairs like this are common throughout the empire, and they test the connections and eyesight of the organizers.

If you don't have connections, you can't invite so many guests to participate, and if you don't have eyesight, you will often lose money and can't do it.

The Violet House trade fair has been held for almost three years, one every month, and thanks to Viola's highly-paid appraisal team, there have been almost no mistakes, so it has established a good reputation among the transcendents of Lonzard, and has also brought Viola a lot of money.

According to Viola herself, more than half of her store's profits come from trade fairs.

Wren was a little surprised that she even told herself about this trade secret.

"That's the rules of the fair, it's simple. ”

Viola smiled and said, "As for social etiquette, you don't have to worry, it's not the early aristocratic era now, most of the customers are transcendental, not so particular." If you're hungry, the food and wine are well prepared at the fair, and they all taste good, but don't drink too much. ”

Wren nodded in understanding.

At this time, a waitress came up to remind her that the time had come.

"Let's go down. ”

Wren followed Viola downstairs, and the fair was held in the hall on the third floor, and when the two came out of the elevator, they immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

The spacious hall is illuminated by crystal lamps as if it were daylight.

There were nearly a hundred guests in the hall, mostly men, most of whom were well-dressed, women dressed up, and of course some people did not like formal attire, wearing various caster robes and armor, and even casual casual clothes.

Wren could see at a glance that he could see without the eyes of the soul, and almost all of the people present were transcendental.

Because there may be a legendary powerhouse, he didn't open the soul eye to look around.

Not a possibility, but a certainty.

Viola said that every time she held a trade fair, she invited a legendary wizard to sit in the audience to avoid chaos, but she did not reveal the identity of the legendary wizard.

At this moment, all eyes were on Viola.

Wren noticed that the eyes in them, especially the men, were admiring, admiring, looking up, and more adoring, and even the transcendent could hardly resist Viola's charm.

She is like a beam of light, and wherever she goes, she will be the focus of the audience.

Wren felt like he was shrouded in light, even though he was only a step away from Viola, standing next to her, half a head taller than her, but few people noticed him.

"Good evening, everyone. ”

Viola, accustomed to this kind of gaze, walked up to the middle of the crowd, greeted the guests, and immediately announced the start of the fair.

The waitresses of the Violet House came to the stage in order, and they walked to the rows of shelves covered with black cloths, and lifted the black cloths to reveal the glass counters that displayed the things that were going to be sold today.

The hall grew noisy, and the guests gathered around the glass case to ask the waitresses.

Each waitress is trained, and each of them is responsible for a task, and they take the trouble to answer questions for customers, and if they don't understand something, they ask the appraiser in the store for advice.

Wren saw the appraiser of the Violet House, there were three people in total, two men and one woman, all of whom were extraordinary people of no small age.

At the head was an old man, full of white hair, wearing glasses, and a bookish atmosphere, who looked like a professor in the academy, but was actually a seventh-level wizard.

Listening to the waitress to the guests, the old wizard's name is Levenster, from the Silver Star Academy, a well-known polymath in Longshande, and also an expert in identification.

The other two appraisers are slightly younger and have their own strengths, but they are not as well-known as Levenster.

Viola took Wren to greet the guests, and after a few casual conversations, she introduced Wren to them.

These guests are all from many small families, nobles, teachers of the Silver Star Academy, members of the Wizarding Tower, officials of the town hall, the rich, merchants, powerful transcendents, famous wizards, and so on.

In Viola's introduction, Wren is her best friend.

It was hard to hide the surprise in people's eyes, because Viola had never introduced any friends to anyone before, let alone a young and handsome man.

When they heard that Wren was a wizard, their eyes were even more surprised.

Wren's body shape and temperament, tall and strong, look like an iron guard no matter how you look at it, not like a wizard at all.

However, for the sake of Viola's face, most of the guests still greeted Wren very kindly and secretly wrote down Wren's name.

There are also a few people who do not hide their hostility towards Wren in the slightest.

They had been keeping an eye on Viola's movements, and before she could introduce her in person, they noticed that Wren was somewhat close to her, so they cast angry glances at Wren.

This made Wren a little helpless, and inexplicably there were a few more rivals in love, and none of them were easy to mess with.

"Viola let me into her circle of friends, with good intentions, but it turned out to be counterproductive, I haven't known a few friends yet, but the enemy has formed a lot of ...... first"

"What a curse!"

Wren continued to work with Viola, and she was about to introduce herself to the middle-aged man in front of her, but found that she knew this person and his business card.

"Mr. Kenegi. Wren greeted one step ahead.

The middle-aged man was the same Kenegi I had seen a few days ago, he was dressed in a straight suit, his hair was neatly combed back to his head, his temperament was gentle, his eyes were extremely attentive, and he looked like an impeccable and elegant gentleman.

Keneji took a closer look at Wren and exclaimed, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've changed a lot." ”

"Wren, do you know Vice President Kenegie?" Viola was slightly surprised, Wren was just an ordinary student before, how could he know the vice president of the mechanical union.

"We met a few days ago. Wren replied to her, then turned to Kenegi and said earnestly, "I'm already a wizard." ”

Kenegi nodded slightly and said, "I know you're going to succeed, but congratulations." ”
