As night fell, Donald, who had successfully fooled the three of Bert's archstewards, took Cord and Clinton into the VIP room prepared by the Kingsol auction consignor and the mysterious guests who did not like to reveal their identities, enjoying the exquisite food and fine wines only available to VIPs, and watching the special auction that had begun in the hall below.

This auction was specially held by Archsteward Bert for Donald's ancestral treasure, and he sent an invitation to inform the nobles and dignitaries who were staying in the city.

Not only did most of the nobles who were already in the city accept the invitation, but some people who heard that there was a mysterious treasure auction also came to participate.

When Donald introduced his ancestral treasure before, he had already added a lot of fictitious plots, but he didn't expect that the chief appraisal master Olch also agreed with Donald's statement, and he was full of praise for improving the value, and he didn't see the dark face of Bert Butler on the side like the bottom of the pot.

Originally, the archsteward of Bert also wanted to lower this treasure, buy it at the right price, pay for it, and then the auction house organized a grand auction to make a huge difference. In that way, no matter how much more the auction price, it has nothing to do with the original owner, and he can earn a lot of money in it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Olch came up, he touted this knight's sword as if it were an artifact, which made it difficult for him to give a low price in front of the owner, so he had to give up his original plan and agree to the other party to entrust the item to the auction house for auction, and only charge a commission of five percent.

Of course, in addition to Donald's fictitious ancestral treasure, the auction house has also prepared a lot of lots as a foil, and the merchant is very profitable, so he can take this opportunity to make more money!

Boulder City is only a second-rate outlying city in Celt, not as big as a big city like the royal capital, so the auctions held here by the Golden Sol Auction House are generally not too complicated.

After the unveiling of some of the artworks and luxury goods sought after by the aristocratic and wealthy merchants, it was not long before the final lot of the auction arrived, the mysterious treasures.

The ornate knight's greatsword was held up to the booth by two powerful auction house guards, shining dazzlingly in the bright light.

As soon as the big sword, which was five feet long, or 1.524 meters, appeared, it caused all the guests present to exclaim.

"What a beautiful sword, is it a ceremonial sword for decoration?"

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this is a real murder weapon!"

"I haven't seen any long sword, such a huge long sword is almost as heavy as a knight's spear, who can wield such a weapon, is it for giants?"

"Ignorance! This is a rare knight's sword, a weapon for heavily armed high-ranking knights to use on the battlefield, relying on the charging power of war horses to wield, and people with little knowledge have never heard of it at all!"

..................

It was only after the noble guests had stopped talking that the auctioneer had time to explain the origin of the lot.

"This knight's sword is called the Wind of Glory, a weapon used by the ancestors of a knight family to follow our great King I of the Kingdom of Celt when he opened the country, and it is a treasure that the family has collected for nearly a thousand years. ”

Then it is time to take materials such as wood and rocks to check the real quality of the auction items. The Book of Truth must be a fine product, and naturally it can easily cut off those things that are tested, and there is no damage to itself. This performance caused a burst of exclamations from the guests in the audience.

The auctioneer's introduction made Donald, the initiator, feel amused.

I didn't expect this knight's sword to become bigger and bigger the more it was touted. Looking back at the records in the history books I once read, the Kingdom of Celt has been established for more than 500 years, and the original Celt royal family was a subordinate nobleman of the Bannai Empire, which once unified the continent.

During the demonic catastrophe years of the full-scale invasion of demons thousands of years ago, the punishment of the gods and the ravages of the demons of the abyss caused the ancient magic empire Bannai, which was as powerful as the sun, to be completely split, and many great powerhouses fell like meteors.

The Celt family was forced to migrate to the northern part of the continent, a barren land in the eyes of the people, but they also escaped the chaos of the war and managed to survive the devastating disaster.

Since then, the Celt family has divided a large area of land in the Northland for themselves, and without the competition of other forces, it has gradually developed from a village to a town, and even to the current kingdom.

More than 500 years ago, the war on the continent had basically subsided, and the land resources were divided by various forces, and no one left the vast and rich center of the continent and the southeast to compete with the Celt family and orcs for the two bitter cold lands of the western wasteland and the northern woodland in the north of the continent. This allowed the orcs to recuperate, and the Celt family succeeded in establishing the kingdom of Celt without hindrance.

It was not until after the founding of the country that the Kingdom of Celt, which had been almost isolated from the powerful forces on the continent for hundreds of years, gradually became known.

Although the climate is bitterly cold, the vast land, abundant products, and the magical beast resources in the mountains and forests make many countries want a piece of the pie, even if their own land is more fertile and rich than Sert. As a result, all forces have set their sights on this kingdom bordering the orc forces.

However, except for a few foreign chambers of commerce, as well as the always low-key and kind Church of the Goddess of Agriculture, other forces could not intervene in this closed and united remote kingdom at all.

The ancestors of the House of Merlina did follow Sert I on his expedition to the Northlands, but he was only a cavalryman in the army at the time, and he had not even been awarded the title of knight. It was not until the death of the ancestor that they were posthumously posthumously crowned by the royal family and made an honorary knight, and at that time their Merlinna family could barely be called a knightly family, but there was no fief and no hereditary inheritance.

At that time, together with their ancestors, there were a total of cavalry teams at that time, and later cavalry regiments totaled more than 500 people. Most of them died on the battlefield, and their children and grandchildren survived to become nobles and enjoy wealth to this day. This illustrates the brutality of war and the difficulty of gaining a position of power in this world.

It was only after the Merlina family had been awarded the title of hereditary knight and a two-village-sized territory on the frontier because of their exploits in the war against the orcs three hundred years earlier. After more than ten generations and three hundred years of development, the territory has gradually expanded to a level similar to that of the barony. The territory is rich and strong.

As a result, in just a few decades, they lost most of their territory and wealth, and finally had nothing but a house.

This undoubtedly proves the old saying of Donald in his previous life, "It's easy to start a business, but it's hard to keep a business!"

The terrifying knight sword, which is close to one person high, is used in solo team battles, and I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to use, but it is definitely a sharp weapon on the battlefield.

This sword is the money-making trick that Donald came up with, compared to the infantry standard long sword with excellent quality but ordinary appearance, hand-to-hand combat and charging king, the great sword worn by the knight of the fourth class of the Terran is a powerful weapon that combines gorgeousness and power. Although it has no magical effect, the knight's greatsword forged purely from stainless steel is not only gorgeous in appearance, but also has an elegant design with a ruthless design, making it a real killing weapon.

Even if it were not auctioned, according to Donald's estimates, the knight's greatsword would have been sold for at least three thousand gold soles, which was already equivalent to the value of a wealthy nobleman's estate. Even the annual tax revenue of Boulder City is only about five thousand gold soles.

But if you want to make money, you can make a big profit, and Donald thinks that after the auction, this price can be increased by at least two thousand. That's why there is today's auction house.

The Knight's Greatsword, which is directly embodied in the Book of Truth, has a quality that is even better than that of ordinary blacksmith masters, and all of its attributes have reached the level of perfection that can be achieved by the item itself.

Such a divine weapon made several nobles from orthodox knights very hot.

And as a treasure inherited by a family for hundreds of years, if you buy it, even if you can't carry it to the battlefield, it is definitely a big collection worth showing off.

Therefore, those rich merchants and wealthy nobles also had a lot of interest in this knight's sword.

Seeing that everyone's ** who bought this knight's sword was deeply aroused, the auctioneer felt that the time had come, and hurriedly said:

"According to the research of this auction house, this wind of glory should be the work of an unknown craftsman of the dwarf clan. The starting price is 500 gold soles, and the auction is now open!"

Five hundred gold soles are far inferior to the true value of this knight's sword, and such a low price has made many guests who originally did not think that they would be able to auction this treasure also increase the price.

The price quickly rose from five hundred gold soles to three thousand that Donald had in mind, and it was still climbing at a rate of at least two hundred gold soles per minute.

In the private room, Donald, who was the initiator, smiled like a little fox who had stolen a fat chicken, and he couldn't close his mouth anymore. And Ke De on the side valued the price that was rising step by step, and while he was nervous, he couldn't help but have a strange thought, as if how did his originally kind young master suddenly become so cunning and treacherous?

In the end, the knight's great sword, which had been handed down for thousands of years, was auctioned off by a large merchant owner who came from the royal capital for a high price of 7,300 gold soles, laughed and ordered the two samurai around him to hold it to his side, saying that he was going to bring it back to the royal capital and present it to His Majesty.

And with the box containing more than 7,100 gold soles, Donald was also very happy.

As for who earns and who loses, only they know.

However, Donald felt a little ashamed of deceiving the indigenous inhabitants of the world for this auction, but looking at so many golden coins, the apology in his heart soon disappeared without a trace.

Whether it is one's own mage cultivation or summoning, it needs money, and there are so many rich and noble people in this small boulder city, and there are still many poor people outside who can't eat!

After Kinsor got his hands on it, Donald asked the auction house to count out two thousand on the spot, and according to the market price, they were exchanged for ten square medium element spars and two hundred square low element spars. As a result, the auction house almost swept away the hedron in stock.

Elemental spar veins are already scarce, and the energy of medium spars is generally more than ten times that of low-grade spars, and the properties are more pure, and low-grade spars will only be promoted to medium-high existences if they accumulate a certain concentration in an energetic environment, otherwise they will still exist for tens of millions of years. Therefore, the value of medium element spars has always been high, and most of them have been purchased by various forces, and only a small amount will flow out of the market.

As for the high-grade spars, it's not that Donald doesn't want to replace them with two, but the auction house really doesn't have them, and the shops on the market are hard to find, and I don't know if I can find a few in this small place in Boulder City!

Hedrons are stored as strategic materials in every country, and they are only widely circulated in the hands of mages, and the Kinsol auction house can collect these things is already quite good, and they are willing to sell them to Donald at one time, also depending on the future development of this noble mage apprentice.

Although this world does not have the saying that it is better to add flowers to the scene than to send charcoal in the snow, the meaning of it is still understood by smart people. Moreover, an auction has brought at least a few hundred gold soles to the auction house, which is usually a result that can only be achieved by a large-scale auction once every six months!

The two thousand gold sol was only exchanged for a small box of ten small pieces of shiny stones, which made Donald feel that the money came and went quickly!

While the guests had dispersed and were almost gone, Donald took his farewell to Bert, the archsteward. This is inevitable that he will be targeted by some red-eyed guys, although he is not afraid of any threat with his strength, but it is better to avoid trouble!

The three of Clinton carried two wooden boxes, one large and one small, into the carriage, and the ten medium-element crystals were carried in their arms.

The city gate was closed after nightfall, and Donald, who had gained a lot, saw that he could not return to his home in Red Maple Town, so he simply waved his hand and went straight to the most upscale inn in the city. Having earned more than 7,000 gold soles at once, at least one-third more than the tax revenue of Boulder City in a year, Donald, who was in a good mood, ignored the distress of his butler Kode, and bought a courtyard with two gold soles a day, which only wealthy nobles and wealthy merchants could afford to live in.

In an inn room that was more ornate than the usual rural aristocratic mansion, Donald asked the attendants to carry two boxes into his master's room, and then sent them to the chamberlain to rest.

Then, in front of Kod, Donald opened the Book of Truth and summoned the storage equipment space sigil that he had been longing for. Of course, the Book of Truth, which is an artifact, cannot be seen by others.

In the Warcraft series, although there is no space equipment like storage rings, it has a space mark that every hero has. Combined with the spatial laws of this world, the spatial imprint given by the Book of Truth is a kind of miniature spatial rift that is spiritually bound to the user, and is a small and stable space formed by the convergence of divine power, which exists in the spatial gap between the main world and the alien plane, and can be summoned at any time at the user's request.

Of course, there are also space packages that can be given to primary units such as farmers and acolytes, so that they also have the ability to carry items, but at most two spaces can be opened, each of which is only one cubic size, and backpacks the size of school bags are also relatively inconvenient to carry, so they were abandoned by Donald at that time.

The lowest-level spatial imprint, opening up a private space the size of one cubic meter, summoning thirty square meters of low-level elemental crystals, which was previously out of Donald's reach, can now be paid effortlessly overnight.

Theoretically, the space imprint can be infinitely superimposed, as long as you pay the energy, but considering the stability of the spatial structure, it is impossible to expand the private space imprint to the size of a country, otherwise the structure of this world may not be able to accommodate such a different space existence, and it will be frequently opened in the main world and the space gap, which may cause chaos in the power of space.

However, at present, he doesn't have that much space, and spending thirty squares of low-grade elemental crystals in exchange for a cubic space mark is enough for him to use.

A cube sounds small, but it can hold a lot more than you think. Except for a box of gold coins and twenty coins left on the butler's body, the others were stuffed into the private space along with the hedron chest, only to find that it only took up a part of the space, and the remaining space could hold at least a few more chests of this size.

Soon after, the innkeeper brought dinner for five, and Donald's portion, as the host, was naturally the most sumptuous, richer and more delicious than any meal he had ever eaten in this world, worthy of the consumption of two gold coins a night.

After dinner, Donald, who had a huge amount of money, was not sure at all, so he simply spent a first-level magic core to summon an owl of a Night Elf huntress and fly to scout in the courtyard trees. Then he uneasily spent a low-level elemental spar and exchanged it for a sentry guard and inserted it in the hidden place of the courtyard.

With such double preparations, even if the person who came was a powerful assassin above the bronze rank, it was estimated that he would not be able to sneak into this small courtyard smoothly, even if he escaped the owls on the periphery, once he entered the observation range, he would be discovered in time by the sentry guards who could detect the invisibility.

Unlike the effect of short-term existence in the game, this sentry guard exchanged by Donald can monitor all traces within a radius of one kilometer, and detect all invisible units within a 100-meter surveillance range, which lasts for three days, and once a creature or object of unknown origin moves into the monitoring range, an image will be formed in Donald's mind, detect the location of the target, and then issue a warning.

This is the effect of the Book of Truth's combination of the game's setting and the rules of this world, which is enough to guard against all enemies with bad intentions.

Donald, who had slept soundly all night, didn't know that shortly after he left the Kinsol auction house in a carriage with the harvest, a document was placed at the bedside of the major power owners of Boulder City.

Among them, the Kinsol Auction House, which received the earliest news, submitted the information as quickly as possible and sent it to the owner of the auction house.

Butler Bert stood respectfully in his study, waiting for the man behind the desk to give orders.

On the expensive soft leather chair, an old man dressed as an aristocrat looked at the paper in his hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Interesting! It's a mage apprentice, and a place like Boulder City can produce such characters!"

"Keep tuned, report to me as soon as there is any news!"

Bert, the archsteward, said yes again and again, and then bowed and retreated.

When Bert was gone, the old man would squeeze the paper in his hand into fine powder, and then an inaudible word came from the study.

"I've been running the business of Boulder City for decades, and now that the old man has a short lifespan, it's time to plan for himself!"

Donald naturally wouldn't know about these forces' investigation of him, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Because he had long considered that once he made a move, it would be difficult to avoid being known to outsiders, at least the lord of Red Maple Town, and the viscount of Boulder City, the two largest forces within a radius of a hundred miles would definitely know about it as soon as possible.

After all, he still has the status of a hereditary knight heir, and he lives in the territory of one of them.

What Donald knows is that as long as he becomes strong quickly, then by that time, those forces will not be able to endanger themselves even if they want to fight any ideas. Therefore, he doesn't have to think about it to eat and sleep in peace. Instead of worrying about the sky all day long, it is better to let go of your mind and enjoy life, and then make a fortune!
