Chapter 142: Caesar
Caesar Planet is an administrative star on the border of the Bright Federation, which has been serving as a commercial port planet between the Angel Empire and the Federation for thousands of years, here it inherits some aristocratic traditions, classical and conservative but not losing its vitality, the armed forces are very considerable, because the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the planet is relatively large, so the city is established in an ecosphere situation, and in space, it looks like a circular city is spread over most of the planet.
When there was still some distance from Caesar Star, Xiao Liu moved the light screen over, and the Caesar Star Defense Commander asked for a call, and the middle-aged man who appeared on the light screen had dark skin and a focused demeanor, and he looked like a capable person.
"Take the liberty of interrupting your journey, I'm Colonel Id, the defense chief of Caesar Star, I'm sorry that your ship has not been registered, we can't trace your origin, and the recent civil war in the Angel Empire has spread to the border system, so please make an explanation, and we can record it."
Yi Shuihan changed into a gorgeous aristocratic costume, Xiao Liu had already prepared an identity statement, but he had to use the pyramid light brain to invade the database of the other party's flagship to forge information, this process took a few minutes, and he had to use words to stabilize Yide first, now I just hope that this defense chief will not be too formulaic and old-fashioned, if he can't get a few minutes, then the pyramid will face the attack of the entire planet's destroyer fleet, and that kind of situation is not what the tomb robbers want to see.
Coughing lightly, Yi Shuihan smiled at the light screen and said: "Your Excellency Colonel, I would like to ask a question first, I hope you can give a solid answer, what is the attitude of the Bright Federation towards us, the nobles of the Fleeing Angel Empire, this is really very important to me, after all, it seems a little unacceptable for the privileged class to give up their identity because they don't want to get involved in those gate valve battles, and defecting to the big nobles will annex us middle nobles in disguise." I know that the Federation of Light also has an honorary title setting. Its function is no worse than that of a true noble title, but there are strict conditions for the issuance of such honorary titles. Does the House of Elders of your country still have the favorable conditions to attract the nobles who have fled the war? ”
The tomb robber said secretly: "It doesn't matter how you answer, Xiao Liu's progress is already almost forty percent." ”
Obviously, Colonel Ide didn't expect this black-haired young man with a super pyramid to ask such a question, and the Elders' House would not give any orders at all. There are many autonomous planets in the Bright Federation, and Caesar Planet has long been privately controlled by wealthy merchants. All taxes belong to individuals, and the annual tribute to the old guys in the House is astronomical, and those honorary titles are even more remarkable, without a certain force, you can't get money alone, Caesar Star has the power and rich businessmen don't have this strength, to be honest, these soldiers are all working for the rich, the Bright Federation is a country where money is supreme, and on the surface, declaring "democracy" is just a gimmick, and it's okay to fool the ordinary people, if there is a war. The army is just a bodyguard for the rich. If it weren't for the chaos of the Angel Empire and the rich merchant behind the scenes, who was particularly sensitive and cautious, he would not have done much in the face of such a high-level aristocratic spaceship in the past, and the young nobleman on the light screen did not understand the actual situation of the Bright Federation.
Colonel Yide has been dealing with the nobles for a long time, and said to Guangping in a timely manner: "The Bright Federation naturally welcomes the nobles of the Angel Empire who come from afar, and as for the honorary title, it is not difficult to obtain. But only if you have a family with a long history and have made extraordinary contributions to the kingdom to be conferred, you have not yet asked for your title and name, your honorable Excellency. ”
Yi Shuihan's eyes glanced at the progress on the light screen, fortunately, it had reached sixty-six percent, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
The tomb robber's expression did not change, and he did not answer Colonel Ede's words directly, but said very scoundrelly, "Really. The Bright Federation doesn't pay much attention to us fleeing nobles, and the ancestral inheritance that I am ready to sell alone can have 600 million blue gold points, if we nobles are asked to go to the Starlight Dynasty with money, then the loss of the Federation in terms of comprehensive national strength is very large. ”
Ide's eyes lit up, thinking that he had heard it wrong, this young man actually said that it was 600 million blue gold points? Could it be that this kid has his entire family assets with him? This is really crazy, how dangerous would it be to encounter a star thief on the road? However, he immediately realized that the other party was piloting the Super Light Loss Pyramid, and it was difficult to guess the strength of this kind of spaceship beyond the standard level, and besides, there might be a martial arts master hidden in the spaceship. The arrival of the 600 million blue gold points and this little nobleman is important news, and maybe some people will be interested.
The shrewd defense chief immediately realized a trace of uneasiness, and said in his heart: "No, I'm afraid that nobles with this kind of wealth are rare in the Angel Empire, and there must be official records, how come this holographic image of this person can't be found in the database." ”
Yi Shuihan looked at the progress that was about to be completed with satisfaction, quietly raised his big pole finger towards Xiao Liu, and said dissatisfiedly to the light screen: "Your Excellency Colonel, I hope you can retrieve my hologram again, although I just got the title of first-class viscount before the war, but our small family still has some reputation, my name is Fei Dunan." ”
Ide felt that the young nobleman's gaze on the light screen was a little aggressive, could it be that his subordinates were negligent in their work? Hurriedly called the light brain to retrieve it again. "Wave" sounded, and there was indeed feedback that the eldest son of the Ferdinan family, the only heir, and the family territory was located in the mineral planet of the Wave Spectrum Galaxy, and he was awarded the title of first-class viscount in recognition of his long-term contribution to the Angel Empire.
"It turned out to be a miner, no wonder he was so arrogant."
Ide accompanied a smiling face: "I'm really sorry, it's really our negligence, then don't disturb Your Excellency the Viscount's itinerary, welcome to our planet Caesar." ”
Yi Shuihan was very satisfied with Yide's attitude, the situation of the Bright Federation has long been clear, as long as it is a rich person, these soldiers will not dare to offend you.
The light transmission pyramid rushed towards the atmosphere, and a small single-person spaceship in front of the head was introduced, this is the level treatment, and the largest prosperous trade city was chosen as the foothold, and the plant community of this planet can be seen through the light screen is very huge, and the vegetation in the city is not a few. Reinforced concrete buildings are not skyscrapers. There is a hint of rusticism.
The dazzling pyramid of light has attracted a lot of attention, and there are many deluxe-class ships on the mooring platform. However, the pyramid still gave people the feeling of standing out from the crowd, and the big man Fatt was a little impatient, smiled and twisted the dimensional space ring on his fingers, and raised the purple whiskers to his shoulders to prepare for collective action.
Yi Shuihan glanced at the excited Difat with a smile. He asked, "Shouldn't there be any problem?" ”
The big man replied very energetically: "Boss, don't worry, the antiques we got in the Mondo Underground and the local artworks from the Parknan Family Cemetery and the items handed over to me by the boss have never had a chance to sell, the channels for these things are very secret, there will be no risk in selling, the key depends on the purchasing power here and the appreciation of the art land, collectibles and luxury goods have always been the preferences of the aristocracy, those rich merchants are just vassals and elegance, it seems that we have to inquire about the largest auction house, Fortunately, I have sorted all the items into categories for this day, and it is rare to have a few items in the trading market. Fearing a catastrophic sell-off, are you sure you don't have a single one? ”
Yi Shuihan nodded and said, "I won't keep it at hand, haven't you already used a lot of artworks to decorate the spaceship?" There will be a chance to get better ones in the future, dispose of the things and free up the Dimensional Ring to continue collecting other items, don't forget that our goal is not here. ”
The Trade City is famous in Caesar's Star, some of the declining nobles often come here to enjoy a sunny holiday, and there are always some merchants here who smuggle some exotic goods from the Angelic Empire, because it is a trade port planet. There are a lot of black trades, and the largest emperor beauty salon is doing an unknown business, smuggling snake girls from a vassal civilization galaxy of the Angel Empire, their posture is very enchanting, and the most important thing is that the snake girl secretes a magical compound that can make women's skin smooth as virgin for a hundred years. And it's not as dangerous as forced cell activation, so it attracts more and more wealthy people, and at night, the drunkenness of this city that never sleeps can't even compare to the capital star.
It's a very good weather, walking in the city doesn't feel the huge pressure of the planet, and the gravity here is just right, so it's a bit unusual for a group to walk through the busy streets.
The big guy in front of the road, the big grasshopper on his shoulder still attracted the attention of some people, for this kind of insect life ordinary people are very resistant, no one wants to approach, followed by a fat man with a scimitar, dressed like an ancient samurai, the strange thing is that no mechanical patrol dares to come over to disarm, followed by a relatively calm dark-skinned young man, his eyes are calm, his expression is serious, his expression does not seem to match his age, and then behind is a beautiful lady, her white hair is very conspicuous, looking at the buildings on both sides of the street with satisfaction, Distracted by the huge billboard, the promotion of the Disha beauty salon looks a little tempting.
There were three people at the back of the line, an old man, two short braids hanging from his temples to his shoulders, and the big braids behind his head were dyed lilac, a bit like a hippie, but this old man was meticulously dressed, with a dark red robe inlaid with gold thread on the outside, a dark blue robe inside, some small metal bottles embedded in the belt, and a long square bag on his back, and he looked quite mysterious. There is also a small man who hides his whole body between his robes and clothes, and his body shape is a child, I don't know why it is so secretive, there is a young man in the middle, an old man and a young man, this person has a pure black hair color, which is much more normal than the rest of the team, with a faint smile and looks very kind, this person has his own calm bearing, no one can see through those deep eyes.
In a short period of time, the largest dragon auction house has already stood in front of you, with white staircases, majestic buildings that look like palaces or even courts, showing its grandeur and solemnity. Since he was a newcomer, he hired a hoverbus as a guide, and the doorman was very surprised to see the group of people coming, because it was not yet trading time.
"Our family wants to meet the person in charge of your bank, and some family treasures want to be sold this time." The big head was a head higher than the guard, and he had to be looked up, and the insect on the shoulder looked like Fat's second head in the sun, so that the doorman, who was equivalent to a bodyguard, was a little frightened, and hurried to the person in charge.
A middle-aged man with a flat head and a square face walked out of the door, looking like a guy who had the final say, but this person saw that there was a hint of lewdness in Lawrence's eyes, and the keen tomb robber caught it.
"Welcome, I heard that Viscount Ferdinand came to Caesar Star, and it is really a lot of brilliance that our auction house is fortunate to receive it, please come inside."
He is really a businessman. Informed. The smiling face is welcome, and he is very good at talking.
The man's name was Agnam. He is the vice president, who is specially responsible for receiving VIPs, and introduces the auction house to everyone as he walks, and there are dragon signs in many places in the Bright Federation. It's just Caesar's Branch.
There is not much time to enter a spacious hall with blue marble floors, crystal glass, and luxurious diamond chandeliers to show the grandeur and financial resources of the auction house. The wide tiger skin sofa was the most luxurious aristocratic item at a glance, and after the guests were seated, Fate first said on behalf of Yi Shuihan: "Respected President Diagnam heard that you have a lot of services in your bank, I just pondered that this batch of treasures in hand will be auctioned in different grades, and we don't care about the medium grades, and sell them to the auction house at a unified price. As for the boutique, I hope to deposit it in your bank for regular auctions, and the proceeds will be remitted to the interstellar bank account according to the agreement, you think there should be no problem, right? ”
Agnam pondered slightly: "It seems that the Lord has brought a large number of treasures, and it is difficult to say if I have not seen the real thing, can I take out the things and ask my subordinates to identify them?" ”
Yi Shuihan nodded and said, "It was our negligence, and Fate took out what you thought was a treasure." ”
"Yes. My lord. Farth opened the Dimensional Ring, and after the light passed, the entire hall was already piled up, and there was almost no place to put his feet, and Agnam quickly calmed down, and said in his heart, "It can't be a pile of garbage to fool me, right?" It was actually said to be a treasure. He picked up a yellowed physical book from under his feet, opened it and looked at it, and was speechless with surprise.
"This is? This can't be an out-of-print Earth Holy Light, right? After carefully turning the title page, he saw sweat on his forehead and said: "My God, this is indeed a precious and unique holy light from the Earth era more than 10,000 years ago. The historical value of this thing is not trivial. ”
Yi Shuihan looked at the book strangely, and Feilong explained in a low voice: "Second uncle, this is the treasure of the Paknan family, I found it. ”
Yagnam didn't hear the two behind him muttering in private, because he picked up another painting, looked at it carefully for a moment, and anyone could see the surprise in his eyes, and exclaimed: "Treasures, absolute treasures, this is the work of the post-abstract master Boltenst, and now there are only two paintings in the Bright Federation, which are priceless." ”
Although the tomb robbers still have a lot of treasures in their hands, these treasures with historical value are not bad, but their role is ignored. Besides, even the best things can be found in the mausoleum, maybe ten years later, the items that were auctioned off today will be sealed in the graveyard of some noble family again.
"Quickly seal up the auction house for me, and ask the people from the board of directors of other city branches to send appraisers to me, there is a big deal here." Agnum almost yelled at the light screen.
After about an hour, the hall had gathered fifty people, all of them with miniature lenses and well-equipped for testing, and began to sweep through the mountains of precious collections.
Yi Shuihan and his entourage have been regarded as uncles, that Yagnam smiled, it is difficult to take on such a large business and not get promoted, besides, his status in the family is not low, and he has such outstanding achievements when he routinely acts as the vice president of the border area for one year, I am afraid that his old son will wake up with a smile in the middle of the night.
People are sometimes cheap, and after putting things out, Agnam didn't even dare to look disrespectful, and tried his best to curry favor with everyone in the tomb robber gang.
It was not fully identified until dark, and there were some fakes inside, and even the fakes were old and precious collectors, and the prices were high.
The hall was emptied, and those treasures were sealed and stored, Agnan rubbed his hands together and smiled: "I'm afraid that these precious collections can only be collected by an old family, I didn't expect that Ferdinand's net worth is so rich, I think those that you think are medium collectibles must also be of high value, you see if they can be handed over to our auction house to deal with." ”
Fateh stood up and said loudly, "Yes, man, find me a spacious square, I can't let it go here." ”
Agnan happily instructed his men to pay attention to confidentiality and security.
Finally, the dimensional ring was emptied, including some blue-gold utensils, and there was nothing left.
Yi Shuihan stood up and explained: "Your Excellency Yagnan, everything here is handed over to you, if the Longteng Auction House has the strength to buy all the auction items, then I hope to exchange it for blue gold points as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if you suffer some losses, there are still some family collections in the inheritance land, if Longteng is really credible, I think the cooperation will last." ”
Agnam listened carefully to every sentence, and said in his heart, "What idiot once said that those nobles of the Angel Empire were all born in dirt buns? The gold content of a viscount is equivalent to that of a high-level wealthy businessman, and this viscount must have good things in his hands, look at the careless look, even the butler under him has a dimensional ring, what is this concept? I can't imagine that I have to cling to this nobleman. ”
The flattering face is even more hardworking: "Thank you for handing over this big deal to me, I will do my best to raise funds, and I have sent someone to contact the nearby administrative star branch to strive for the maximum exchange of blue gold points for you, and it will be the greatest honor of our Longteng Auction House to maintain a good cooperative relationship with you, honorable adult." ”
Yi Shuihan smiled and explained a few words, put away the certified laser ticket and walked out with the person, he was not worried about Long Teng embezzling these things, first, the credibility was here, and the second was that he very much hoped that Long Teng would do that, so that there would be an excuse to rob.
A group of people chartered a small airship and sailed towards the outside of the city, the vast *night* (please delete the forbidden book) and the huge plants that grew luxuriantly intertwined, after locating the target valley, it was changed to unmanned, the airship and the birds flying among the trees were almost the same, suddenly a thunderbolt hit the highest tree in the forest, with the flames rising and the wind blowing, the monsoon brought the swift rain overwhelmingly, the power of nature was undoubtedly revealed, but the real crisis was waiting ahead
