Chapter 239: The Count's Daughter (1)
"Big brother, can we really enter this kind of house?" Will pinched the flesh on his face hard: "This kind of place, no matter how you look at it, you can only enter it once in my league." ”
"What are you afraid of, as long as you have money, there is no place in this world where you can't go. Of course, Walshas is also possible. Ron quipped, "Even if we were dressed like beggars, the auction house wouldn't have kicked us out, and of course, I haven't had such a bad taste." ”
Although he didn't know where the city lord's mansion was located, Ron was sure that the royal auction house in front of him was definitely the largest and most luxuriously decorated house in the entire Bonorton, and in the feudal era, rulers liked to use the size of the house to show their status. The royal auction house's voice in Bonoton is obviously not lower than that of the Lord's Palace.
There was a lot of traffic on the streets, but not a single person went to the auction house, and the narrow steps seemed a little empty.
A large stable was built next to the auction house, and two uniformed waiters stood against the wall in front of the stable. Ron and Will walked over with their horses.
"Are the two gentlemen going to the auction house?" the waiter immediately cheered up when he saw someone coming: "We can help take care of the guests' horses here, and the security measures are definitely the best in the whole of Bonoton, and the cost is five silver coins a day." ”
Five silver coins a day?
Ron raised his eyebrows, this price is indeed a drop in the bucket for him now, but it is definitely a sky-high price for those guests who can only stay in a small inn, five silver coins, for ordinary people can live for a while, but here can only make a livestock live comfortably for a day.
"There are two days left for the auction to start, and this is a gold coin, and this is a tip. Ron shoved three gold coins into the waiter's hand, and the two waiters instantly came to their senses.
"We are from the western frontier of the empire, and we are not qualified to enter the auction house for the time being, how can we become a member of our auction house?"
A waiter with short blond hair on the left smiled and said: "My lord, it is very simple to become a member, as long as you can provide an asset statement of more than 10,000 gold coins, or provide an auction item of the same price to the auction house, you will automatically become a first-level member, and the first-level member online also has a second-level member of 100,000 gold coins, a third-level member of 500,000 gold coins, a fourth-level member of 1 million gold coins and a royal member of more than 5 million gold coins." ”
"Thank you. ”
Ron didn't say much, and turned to leave the stable.
"Another newcomer, brother, what level of membership do you guess this person might be?"
"Hmph, the tip is only given so little, it is estimated that I can barely become a first-class member, it is said that the conditions in Western Xinjiang are poor, and it is estimated that there are no particularly rich businessmen......"
Unbeknownst to Ron, the two waiters were still talking about him after he left, and Sylvi obediently followed behind him, and the group walked directly down the stairs into the auction room.
To Ron's surprise, there was no doorman at the entrance of the auction room, and the design of the door was similar to the concept of a revolving door in the previous life, but there was no transparent glass here, but a solid wooden door, so they couldn't see the inside of the auction door.
Pushing open the revolving wooden door, everyone saw the whole picture of the auction hall.
The hall on the ground floor is quite spacious and bright, with sunlight streaming in through the windows, a considerable number of carvings and frescoes on the walls, and a number of works of art displayed near the corners. Although Ron couldn't understand this, a strong artistic atmosphere came to his face.
At the front of the hall, somewhat resembling the structure of a bank in a previous life, there are several working people behind the tall counter, writing and drawing on parchment, behind the counter there are quite a few files on display, and on Ron's left-hand side, there is a spiraling staircase leading to the upper floor.
Ron walked straight to the counter, and the staff inside looked up, and Ron noticed that the staff were mostly women, and they were wearing uniform tights.
"It's a royal auction house. Ron sighed in his heart.
"Sir, what business are you here to handle?"
Across from Ron was a slightly baby-fat female clerk with neat short hair, but looking a little sluggish and tired.
"I want to get a membership in the auction house. Ron smiled and said, "Can I handle it from here?"
"If it's a first-class member, you can handle it here. The female clerk regained a smile on her face: "If you are a member of the first level or above, you will have to go to the second floor to find our supervisor to handle it, do you plan to directly make a financial certificate, or provide a property certificate?"
"How do I find your director?" asked Ron bluntly.
"Ah, if you ask the director, I can show you the way. The female clerk suddenly regained her spirit and stood up directly from her seat, and out of the corner of Ron's eye, she noticed that several colleagues next to her were also looking at her with envy.
"Then please lead the way. ”
Ron couldn't help but sneer in his heart, the power of money is absolute in any world, and these clerks who work for the aristocracy are even more so. If you have the opportunity to climb a big tree, it will definitely be of great use.
In terms of Ron's current financial resources, a little leakage from his fingers is a huge amount of money for ordinary families.
There was a small movable door on the side of the counter, and after the female clerk came out of it, she bowed slightly to Ron: "My lord, please go this way, and your servant can only bring one with you." ”
"Big brother, you take Sylvie with you, I'll stay here and wait. Take a look around by the way. Before Ron could speak, Will had already spoken first.
"Alright, then you just wait here, Sylvie, come with me. ”
Ron grabbed the girl's small hand and followed the maid up, Ron felt a slight force of struggle in the palm of his hand, but as soon as Ron's palm was forced, the girl gave up the struggle and let Ron pull her up the spiral staircase.
The space on the second floor is obviously much smaller than the first floor, and the height from floor to ceiling is only about three meters, and on both sides of the corridor, you can see many rooms with closed doors, except for the door, the rest of the room is actually covered by a kind of black crystal. The hallway near the perimeter is an enclosed balustrade from which Ron can see the main venue of the auction. You have to find the latest chapters by yourself to read books?
