Chapter 80: Old Gwa

The auction prepared by Baron Melina, Lord of Dalaran and the Kinsor Auction House, will take place at the end of next month, when the silver moon is full in the night sky.

Unlike in Donald's previous life, the world uses the Full Moon as the dividing line between the two months, starting with the last days of January and then waning at the beginning of January. It is said that the calendar was set by the gods themselves, and it is called the calendar of the gods. The stars in the sky of this world are the thrones of the gods, not just legends, but real ones.

As for the specific situation, it is not something that Donald can deduce from the records of some ancient broken books in his hands!

Every year in June, when the silver moon is full, legend has it that the goddess of the silver moon fell in the turbulent era of antiquity, and now the operation of the silver moon is said to be the goddess of the moon and the goddess of night of the elves, as well as the goddess of magic and agriculture among the human gods.

Of course, these are all legends recorded in the canons of the Church of the Gods circulating on the mainland, and they mortals will not know the specific situation.

"Your Excellency, please come with me. ”

Today is the end of the tenth month of the year, and it has not yet darkened, and as one of the organizers of tonight's auction, Donald came to the auction house early and was invited into the VIP room by the grand steward Bert.

To Donald's surprise, in addition to him, there was also a tall silver-haired old man sitting in the VIP room, looking at him with a smile on his face, but his gaze seemed to be aggressive, as if he could see through the whole body.

"What does that mean?

In the face of Donald's questioning, the archsteward Bert bowed to the two and then retreated on his own, closing the door gently as he left.

"Your Excellency, I hope you don't care about my little arrangement, I have asked Bert to do this only to meet you in private. ”

The silver-haired old man on the other side spoke at this time, and his tone was as kind as the old man next door, but Donald always felt that this person would not be so simple.

"Oh, what do you want to meet with the old gentleman? I don't remember meeting you, the old gentleman. ”

Donald said this, but he was secretly sensing the strength of this old man, but found that the other party had no other results except for his physical condition being better than ordinary people, and his strength was probably in the high level of black iron. However, this also reassured Donald a lot, at least with this strength, even if he didn't use the Book of Truth, he could easily solve it with his own means.

"Let's not be suspicious here, introduce myself, my name is Angva, and I am the real owner of this auction house, you can call me Old Gerva. ”

Donald was a little surprised when he heard this, as far as he knew, the Kinsol Auction House had been established in Boulder City for more than ten years, but the owner behind it had never come forward, and it had been managed by the chief steward, and it was only rumored that its owner was a nobleman from the royal capital, and his background was very deep.

Now that the mysterious owner of the auction house has appeared in front of him, what is this for?

As if seeing Donald's question, the old man smiled and stretched out his hand to invite:

"Don't stand, come here and sit. Before the auction starts, the two of us can get to know each other!"

Donald, who was very confident in his own strength, showed no fear and sat generously next to the old man.

The VIP room is cleverly designed with guests sitting in a semi-enclosed room with a clear view of the auction hall below from the terrace. The people below could not see the figure above, except for the staff on the auction table.

Later, a waiter opened the door and served exquisite snacks and fine wine.

After the waiter retreated, the old man spoke first:

"I'm meeting with you, Lord Baron, to make a deal!"

"What's the deal?" Donald asked, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Your deal with the Ansel, of course!"

Seeing that Donald's face became ugly, the old man hurriedly explained:

"Please don't be upset, the Ansel family didn't reveal your secret, but I analyzed some clues from some clues, and then I deduced your secret deal!"

Donald was even more puzzled after hearing this, he asked himself if he hadn't exposed any flaws, how could anyone know about the transactions that were secretly carried out in his manor? The induction of the tree of life could not be hidden even if the golden powerhouse did not use the power of the law to shield it, what was the origin of this old man?

Seeing Donald's regret, the silver-haired old man spread his hands and said:

"You see, what I say here will never be heard by outsiders, if you know my identity, you will know that I have no malicious intentions, on the contrary, I still have something to ask for!"

"My identity is not a secret, basically those ministers and nobles know it, you can ask the people of the Ansel family. I used to be the head of the King's Intelligence Department, and over the years I have retired to the North County on the orders of His Majesty the King, firstly, to monitor the movements of the unstable factors in the situation in the kingdom of the Macbeth family, and secondly, to collect material wealth for His Majesty to cope with possible changes in the future. ”

"I guess you also know Your Majesty's physical condition. A stable kingdom is also good for the development of your territory, Lord Baron, isn't it?"

Donald was thinking quickly about the other party's identity intentions, and said quietly on the surface: "It's true, but how much does this have to do with me?"

"Not long ago, His Majesty got a bottle of life potion from his sister Marquise Pressel, the life is the essence of the moon, after taking it, the effect is surprisingly good, and there are no side effects at all, it is more suitable for His Majesty who is already extremely weak than those high-grade alchemy elixirs, if you can take more than two bottles every month, then at least your Majesty's life can be extended for more than two more years, which is undoubtedly of great benefit to the stability of the kingdom, but it is ......"

"Let me guess, it's just that the Ansel family can't provide a surplus either, can they?"

"Not bad!" replied the old man, nodding appreciatively at Donald.

Donald asked:

"You haven't told me how you found out that it was me who made the deal with the Ansel family!"

The silver-haired old man continued:

"I've had my eye on you since the first time Lord Baron stepped foot in my auction house! I know a little about becoming a mage's apprentice, inventing moonshine wine, defeating the Black Iron Peak Mage, and being assassinated in Boulder City. The more I get to know you, the more I realize how fast you've grown, it's just astounding. It's hard to imagine that a young man with the talent of a mage could achieve such great things in just half a year!"

When the other party spoke, Donald listened quietly, and in fact, he had already secretly deducted two magic cores in his hand, and at the same time was about to release the talent mage Frost Nova. The old man's methods of analyzing intelligence and monitoring himself are too powerful, although he has not yet discovered many secrets of his own, but Donald has already set his mind to get rid of him, and is ready to kill the auction house and teleport back to the territory.

But then the old man's words made him let his guard down.

"But I don't want to delve into your situation, no matter how far you grow, you are still a citizen of the Celt Kingdom, and your strength will also bring more strength to the kingdom to deal with the increasingly treacherous situation on the mainland!"

"Let's not talk about these alarmist words, the situation on the mainland is not something that a small intelligence officer can control, and you don't have to worry about it, just listen to it and be prepared in your heart. ”

"When I learned the name of the potion your majesty was taking, I immediately thought of you. Your Lord, your moonshine wine is famous in the kingdom for a while, and is expected to be the third most beautiful wine alongside the two finest wines. The Essence of the Moon, the Moonshine Wine, both have the same name as the Moon, and the boy from the Ansel family has been running to your manor three times or twice during this period of time, which cannot but make people feel suspicious. So I preliminarily deduced that the true owner of the Moon Essence is none other than you, Lord Baron!"

"Wonderful!" Donald clapped his hands.

"I thought I was secretive enough, but I didn't expect people to guess the secret!"

"Actually, you have done a good job, if it weren't for my years of experience and habits, and I have paid attention to you for a long time, I wouldn't have thought in that direction!"

Donald said simply:

"Needless to say, the old gentleman meant to meet me, he also wanted to trade with me?"

"Yes, I have been loyal to Your Majesty for decades, and my loyalty will naturally not change, but Your Majesty's time is approaching, and I must also make some plans for myself and my descendants, but at present, the time is relatively short, if Your Majesty can support it for two more years, I can be fully prepared, and even if there is a change in the kingdom at that time, it will not affect my existence. ”

"The old gentleman is really calculating!"

Donald praised the other party with half mockery, and then said:

"I've taken some risks with the Ansel family, but their family's credibility is basically guaranteed. What do you guarantee as a guarantee, sir?"

"It's not that I'm not close to people, but it's really that I have offended a lot of forces, some time ago, someone hired a killer or even a sorcerer to assassinate me, went to the royal capital, and accidentally offended the mage association, if they know that I have a medicine like the essence of the moon that can delay the life of Your Majesty, then I, a small local nobleman, will inevitably become the target of public criticism!"

The silver-haired old man was silent for a moment after listening to what Donald said, and then said:

"Your Majesty has solved the little trouble of the Mage Association for you, it is said that the mage has been locked up and confined for a year and a half. There is another reason behind this, in short, one day when His Majesty is here, those old guys of the Mage Association will not dare to trouble you at all! ”

"Oh, that's a good thing to be happy about!" Donald felt a lot more relaxed in his heart after receiving this news, compared to a behemoth like the Mage Guild pressing on his head, and no one could be relieved if he changed it. As for the reason behind what the old man said, Donald speculated that it should have something to do with the master who stopped the black-robed mage's will that day. It is likely that the one who shot is an existence that is even more powerful than the average gold powerhouse, and only that kind of existence will make the giants of the Mage Guild have to bow their heads.

The old man continued:

"As for sincerity, I can provide you with the information you want, inform you of the danger signals in advance, old Gvar I have been in business in the kingdom for decades, and the whole Celt has my eyeliner, please don't doubt this! The auction is about to start, we will talk about the details after the end below, today's auction is very interesting!"
