Chapter 53: The Auction

Lone wolf!

More than a month ago, in the city of Medding, Tracy had heard of the name. "Domain Names - Familiar to Everyone"

At that time, she had been inquiring about it for a whole week in the mission hall of Edin City, but she couldn't find out this legendary magic pattern master.

At that time, not only was she looking for this person, but also the Divine Craftsman Hall and some nobles also inquired about the whereabouts of this person. There are even people who get 5,000 gold Lulang in the unknown hall, just to get the true identity of the lone wolf.

Speaking of which, the lone wolf didn't really do anything extraordinary.

When he was in the Mission Hall of Edin City, his most advanced work was a third-level magic pattern. Most of the other works are low-level magic patterns of the first and second grades.

With Tracy's status, there is no need to go out to find such a little person in person. The Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce is strong, and it has recruited hundreds of demonic artists. Among them, there are not only fifth- and sixth-level high-level demonic masters, but also seventh-level demonic masters, and there are quite a few.

In the imperial capital, the Chamber of Commerce also has a special Demonic Pattern Research Institute, and there is a ninth-level Demonic Pattern Grandmaster in charge.

In terms of the strength of the research of the magic pattern, the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce is second only to the royal family, the Divine Craftsman Hall and the Magic Association, and it can be regarded as the Mission Hall and the three major training camps, and they are also overwhelmed by them. And a small junior demon pattern master, in front of the behemoth of the Chamber of Commerce, is not even an ant.

However, lone wolves are different.

This magician, who appeared like a meteor in Medin City, shook the entire demonic world with his demonic pattern that no one had ever seen before, and had never recorded in any magic pattern book.

When Tracy sent a lone wolf work that had been purchased at a high price to the imperial capital in an empty magic ship, even the Chamber of Commerce's Magic Pattern Research Institute was alarmed.

The masters of the magic pattern looked at the works sent in and studied, studied and studied, and finally determined that this was a kind of magic pattern that was completely different from the current magic pattern system.

The significance of this discovery was so important that it immediately caused the General Council of the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce to give Tracy a death order. Ask her to find the lone wolf at any cost and win him over!

The elders of the General Council of Elders are all high-ranking and high-ranking people. Everyone's cultivation in the city has been cultivated to the extreme. When encountering big things, he has always been calm and unhurried.

But this time, I don't know what the demon pattern masters of the research institute said to the elders, not only did the elders hurriedly use the Piercing Cloud Swallow, which is usually not light, to transmit information, and prescribe conditions with almost no upper limit, but also a great elder personally rushed to Metin City to supervise the formation.

When she received the first letter, Tracy already knew the importance of the matter, and the subsequent urgings made her taste the most nervous taste since taking office.

In those days, Tracy barely closed her eyes.

The Golden Skull Auction House is one of the three major entities in the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the auction house, there are also Golden Skull Car Dealers and Golden Skull Bank.

As a business conglomerate, the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce does not engage in specific merchandise. These three entities were originally also a platform established by the Chamber of Commerce for the merchants in the conference to consolidate their strength, save costs, and provide information.

However, with the development of the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce, these three platforms have become the most important foundation of the Chamber of Commerce.

Without the Golden Skull Auction House, the amount of commodities and high-end commodities would have shrunk by half. Both the seller and the buyer will be at a loss. Without the Golden Skull Car, the Empire's capacity would be reduced by one-third, and many outlying estates and products from the mountains would not even be able to be transported.

Without the Golden Skull, the merchants could only carry heavy cash boxes and risk being robbed by robbers. The economic vitality of the empire will also be greatly reduced. ..., it can be said that the current Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce has become a part of the big tree of the Solan Empire. From the princes and nobles to the lives of ordinary people, they are all inseparable from the three platforms established by the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce.

The supreme authority of the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce is the General Council of Elders.

Every elder has stepped up to this throne step by step from the bottom staff. Finally emerged from the thousands of staff members, and what they gained was the supreme power to control this behemoth. Every decision they make, it triggers an earthquake.

They can influence the economy, they can influence politics, and even start wars. The power of money in their hands is far sharper than the riding spear in the hands of knights!

In the eyes of all members of the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce, stepping into the General Council of Elders is an achievement as brilliant as a small soldier growing into an Imperial Marshal. That's pretty much the whole value of their lives.

For Tracy, it's no different.

Being able to become the head of the Loulian branch of the Golden Skull auction house at the age of twenty-seven is far brighter than many. And now, it's the best time for her to go one step further. If she can be promoted to the head office of the General Auction House as an elder, her future entry into the General Council of Elders is almost a certainty.

You must know that the Presbyterian Church of the three major banks has always been the talent reserve of the General Council of Elders. In recent decades, almost all of the general elders have been elected from the three major councils of elders.

From this, you can imagine how nervous Tracy was.

The lone wolf who was born out of nowhere, since it caused such a shock in the general assembly, it means that she got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Just find the lone wolf!

However, the reality is cruel. In the following period, no matter how many men Tracy sent and tried all means, she did not see the lone wolf. The damn Mission Hall, with an almost harsh guard, kept out the prying eyes of her, the Divine Craftsman Hall and everyone else.

That time, the General Elders were disappointed and gone, and Tracy's opportunity slipped away.

However, Tracy is Tracy after all, and although she has not found the lone wolf herself, she still uses her wisdom to grasp a clue.

Through a painstaking investigation, she finds Shirley, who has been banished by the Mission Hall. That shallow, vain, and stupid NV man was directly fired by Franklin, who rushed to Madin City, along with his uncle Justin, because of a conflict with Ling Xuan, another second-level director of the Mission Hall.

Losing the backer of the Mission Hall, Shirley's situation is very embarrassing, and her uncle Justin has become a waste person who holds a wine bottle all day long and can't even say a complete sentence.

However, this NV man is not useless. The remorse afterwards made her gradually figure out one thing. That is the magical boy who came out to defend Ling Xuan, maybe it was not Ling Xuan's cousin, but the magic pattern master "lone wolf". Otherwise, how could Franklin suddenly break in when Justin was asking about the identity of the teenager, expel her and Justin with thunderous means, and promote Ling Xuan to the branch director?

When Tracy found Shirley, there were only a few dozen golden lulangs, and she asked the NV man to tell her everything she knew.

The age, physiognomy and stature of the other person.

Although in the short conflict, Shirley couldn't remember the other party's appearance, and the confusion and endless remorse afterwards made her forget too much, but Tracy finally got some basic information.

For a month, she inquired about the news of the lone wolf all the time and never gave up.

However, when she tried again and again in vain, she didn't expect that a lone wolf sword with a magic pattern would be put in her hand. ..., when Master Rook whispered the word lone wolf in her ear, it was like a thunderclap that blew her head away.

She did not have the slightest doubt about Master Rook's judgment. Ordinary Demon Pattern Masters may not be able to tell the difference between the lone wolf Demon Pattern and those secret magic patterns that rarely appear, but Master Rook can definitely tell the difference. When I first acquired the lone wolf work, the first person to get my hands on it was Rooke.

With Master Rook's affirmation, seeing the young man sitting quietly on the sofa at this moment, Tracy's heartbeat drove the blood around her body at a thousand-fold speed.

Seventeen or eighteen years old, blue eyes, thin body but feeling that although he couldn't see the hair under the other party's hat, Tracy was at least seven layers sure that this was a lone wolf. No matter how calm she is in this judgment, there is no way to calm down now.

Tracy is Tracy after all, though.

It only took a short time for her to come to her senses and make a decision.

She looked at the demonic sword in her hand. The intricate and graceful magic patterns on the sword make the sword look more like a work of art. A few minutes ago, she had seen the viciousness of this "work of art".

"This gentleman," Tracy straightened her waist and walked up to Roy with a slender tǐ, "I don't know, can I talk to you alone?"

"Of course. Roy stood up.

The two of them came to the office at the other end of the hallway. Tracy opened Mén, respectfully let Roy go first, then walked briskly to the side cabinet, took out two wine glasses, poured whiskey on the rocks, and smiled, "I don't know what I should call you?

I have to say that Tracy is a very good nv person, with a kind smile and a relaxed tone, which made her immediately close the distance and open up the conversation.

"Call me Austin. Roy smiled as he looked around, sat down on the couch, and naturally used the name of the teacher he had never met.

"This is a noble" Tracy gracefully walked up to Roy and handed Roy the wine, a strand of blonde hair falling down her cheek like a waterfall. She winked from Roy and smiled, "And a horrible name." ”

With that, Tracy sat down in front of Roy, slender and beautiful. He took a sip of wine, stared at him and said, "So, to get down to business, dear Mr. Austin, I have a mention, I don't know if you are interested?"

"Speak. Roy said.

Tracy stroked the long hair around her ears and said slowly, "First of all, your bottle of spiritual power pill, I will make an exception to add it to the second phase of the catalog of today's auction as a specially recommended auction item." I am sure that this will surely arouse the interest of many people. ”

Roy nodded. Although he knew that in the future, no matter what a JĪNG Ming NV person like Tracy did, he had no reason to refuse the other party's initiative to show goodwill.

Tracy continued: "As for the demonic sword, can you not auction it, but let us buy it directly?"

"Oh?!" Roy said in surprise, "You guys buy it directly?"

"Of course," Tracy's smile looked awkward, "it probably doesn't make sense." However, we genuinely want to work with you. I will give you a higher price than the auction item for this sword, and in compensation for this reluctant request, we will also give you some other conditions. ”

Roy looked at Tracy earnestly and said, "I'm listening." ”

Tracy pondered for a moment and said, "This sword, if it is assessed as a seven-star primary, should be worth about five thousand blue gold coins. The auction price may be slightly higher than this, but since I sincerely cooperate, I will cancel the price of 7,000 blue gold coins and buy this sword. Roy's mouth under his mask suddenly opened wide.

When he bought this sword, he only paid 6,000 gold roads. Unexpectedly, painting the magic pattern and rating it with seven stars made the price increase by more than 20 times.

According to the ratio of 1:20, 7,000 blue gold coins is a full 140,000 gold lulang! This is enough money to buy a large manor with slaves and various industries!

Although it was known that the great nobles often spent a lot of money on a piece of equipment, their wealth was far from what ordinary people could imagine. But Roy still couldn't believe that someone like Jīng would give such a price that even far exceeded his expectations.

Originally, in his opinion, it was already thankful that he could sell 50,000 gold Lulang.

However, it was only a matter of thought, and Roy understood.

Obviously, Tracy is not a crappy bargainer, but a jīng merchant. She's courting herself in this way that doesn't require too much brains.

Thinking of this, Roy calmed down and asked, "Why?"

Tracy was visibly confused: "What why?"

"Why did you give me such a price that far exceeded my expectations?" Roy asked dryly.

The room fell silent. Roy's words made Tracy understand that her money was not in vain. She looked at the young man in front of her, who was not more than ten years younger than herself, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, let's say that this sword is not worth seven thousand blue gold coins." ”

"But," she stared at Roy, "the research value of the magic pattern on it far exceeds the value of the sword itself. Personally, I'm a big fan of Mr. Lone Wolf Magician. Even if it is not for the chamber of commerce that I serve, I am willing to buy his works just for the Sī people. ”

Roy laughed. The word lone wolf has already illustrated a qiē.

"Well, I'd like to hear about your other conditions. ”

"It's boring. Scarlett gently shook the goose máo fan in her hand and looked at the auction table below the box.

The auctioneer on the stage was holding up a Renaissance painting and repeating the bidder's offer loudly, while the crowd in the audience seemed a little too sensible. Only a handful of nobles competed for this painting, which was not so good in the living room.

The auction has entered its second phase.

The previous commodity jiāo was easy, which made Scarlett so bored that she wanted to sleep. What sheep máo, ore, linen, how greasy and greasy. I originally thought that after entering the second stage, there would be some good things, but I didn't expect that until now, I haven't seen a single one that can make people's eyes light up.

Covering her mouth with a fan and yawning, Scarlett's mind drifted somewhere else.

There have been a lot of interesting things lately.

Tomorrow is the day when the Grand Duke of Adolf enters the city, but this kind of celebration is nothing new to her, except for a ball in the evening of the Grand Duke that makes people a little interested.

In addition, I heard that the E Brigade, which is regarded as garbage by everyone, seems to have changed in a new way. The Great Kameni from the main camp trained Team E like he had gone crazy. Whether it is a new student or an old student, they are all tortured and complained. In just one week, three people dropped out of the academy.

Thinking of this, the corners of Scarlett's mouth couldn't help but hook up a sneering smile.

The world is not fair after all. The gap between genius and waste cannot be bridged by hard cultivation. Just like the person in his heart, no matter how hard ordinary people work, they will never be able to catch up with him. I could only look up at his back in pain.

Everyone said that Nakameni was not satisfied with Vice-Chancellor Diarra's plan for resource allocation. This time, he was holding back his strength to snatch a resource from the other brigades. ..., but to be honest, no matter how much the waste of the E team is tossed, in Scarlett's opinion, it is not as reliable as the Great Teaching Mr. to apply for a personal battle.

Thinking of Team E, Scarlett thought of that plaything.

Looks like it's called Roy, right?

It's an interesting name, as common and obnoxious as the guardian knight of her cousin Elethea.

However, as a plaything, he is tǐng qualified. On the first day of school, during the freshman entrance exam, he and a group of civilian students beat up Blue and Quincy, and Diarra was so angry that her face turned blue. Later, he broke the arm of Klaus, whom he had sent, and spat on the war book

The curvature of the corners of Scarlett's mouth became a little cold.

Of course, he can't just play to death all at once, and he has to despair of the future of life to be considered enjoyable.

However, in recent days, this hillbilly seems to be avoiding everyone, and he has not even participated in the daily training. I don't know if I'm afraid of Nakameni, or if I'm afraid of the next challenge.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, several figures who were sitting in the breadbox caught Scarlett's attention.

She stared. I saw that the young man wearing the mask and the NV child wearing the green sè skirt were politely nodding and apologetic to the nobles in the nearby box, signaling that they were coming at this time, disturbing everyone. And a few aristocratic children around him politely bowed to him.

After seeing the smile on the corner of the NV child's mouth and his eyes glancing over, he became excited one by one. I can't wait to go over and talk to you right away.

What Scarlett didn't expect was that when the eyes of the man and the NV met herself, she turned a blind eye. Turning his head nonchalantly.

Scarlett smiled and gently closed her fan. The slender fingers that grasp the fan turn white from the exertion.

"If that NV man knew that it was you sitting in front of him, he would definitely eat you. The dignified and dignified Mai'er looked at the auction table with a small waist and quietly discharged to the young noble children nearby, while whispering to Roy.

"Eat me?" Roy chuckled, "I'm afraid she doesn't have such a good appetite." ”

"By the way, what did that NV guy do when he called you aside alone?" Malt'er's fingers were placed on Roy's tǐ seemingly carelessly, like an intimate couple.

"If you dare to screw me, I'll throw you down. Roy was expressionless.

"Hmph, sè ghost, I don't know how to hook up with someone," Malt said sourly, "The room has been closed for so long, and when I came out, the face of the nv person named Tracy was so cūn emotional"

"What do you mean by cūn affection dàng 漾, nonsense!" Roy cried and laughed.

"Don't forget, I'm a dark spirit," Mai'er said, "and you can't hide it from me." ”

Roy turned his head away, not bothering to pay attention to her.

In fact, Tracy only made a series of conditions at the time, and he accepted them. It's as simple as that.

Tracy's condition was that as compensation for the Jiāo Yi Demon Pattern Sword, the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce would give him the treatment of a five-star VIP.

This means that he has a permanent auction seat at the Muni City Auction House. At the same time, at any Golden Skull auction house, you will get the highest level of courtesy. Moreover, he also received a loan amount of 10,000 blue gold coins from the Golden Skull Comptoir, with no strings attached. At the time of the auction, no guarantee can be provided.

And after he agreed to this condition, Tracy was simply overjoyed.

Of course, no one would believe such a thing. Even if he sued Sù Malt now, she would use her instinct to conclude that she had some kind of ulterior relationship with that Tracy. Moistened Tracy's soft and delicate body, she was so desperate to stuff the benefits into her pocket. ..., "Sè Oni!"

"Idiot NV man!"

The two scolded each other, and finally quieted down.

After a few auction items, Malt had already forgotten to be angry with Roy, and asked curiously: "By the way, you just said that you want to clean up the NV person opposite." Beat her up?"

"No," Roy's face once again showed that simple smile, "the first step, you continue to wink at the boys around her." ”

"Annie," Rice asked, looking at the masked group of people in the van, with some curiosity, "who do they say?"

"I don't know. Anne looked over there with no interest and shook her head.

The atmosphere in the auction room made Anne very uncomfortable.

The Primers family was just a small baron, one of thousands of low-ranking nobles. Her father, Brian Xìng, was gentle and tolerant, and levied very little on Bō LaBelle. Even in the heyday before the war, all the assets of the family added up to only a hundred thousand gold lulangs.

And now, they have lost even their family's territory. She and her brother Rice are not only very different in status from the noble children here, but also shy in their pockets. Sitting here, you can't afford even the cheapest auction items. Even the puffy skirt on her body was changed from her mother's skirt.

But the elder brother Les, however, seemed to be blind to the embarrassment of his family and the contempt that flowed from time to time in the eyes of the children of the nobility. Not only do I rack my brains every day to meet them. And she smiled at the children of the nobility who had an undisguised possession in their eyes.

Anne was well aware of her beauty. He also knows how to use the advantages of the NV people and the superficial reserve of the nobility to protect himself.

However, among these noble children, no matter how smart she is, no matter how much she goes around, she is just a little elk in the wolf pack. Sooner or later, she will accept her doomed end for her brother's dream of reviving the Pioneer family. At this point, she has already resigned herself to her fate.

Looking at Les, who looked at the opposite side from time to time, Anne's heart was a little sour.

The brother who loved himself and always smiled and let him go is gone. Now Less is so strange that she almost doesn't know each other.

"Annie, did you notice, it's box five," Les didn't pay attention to Annie's anomaly at all, but threw all the jīng gods into the person opposite, excitedly said. "If you are not a nobleman with a very high status, it is impossible to sit in it. ”

Anne nodded intriguingly.

Not only did she notice, but the other noble children beside her also noticed.

The Golden Skull Auction Hall in Muni City, like the Opera House, has an extremely strict hierarchy in terms of seating arrangement. Only nobles of status were allowed to enter the box. And the boxes near the front are all qualified to sit by the prominent families of Muni City.

The other party is obviously not a nobleman from Muni City, but they can enter the fifth box, which means that their status is definitely not low. Probably from some top family.

Maybe it's because of the other party's noble status, or maybe it's the eyes under the peacock mask and the half-cut small face outside in the box, which are too perfect, not only the young nobles present frequently look at it, but the companions around them also look restless.

As soon as the NV children over there glanced at this side, their faces glowed with excitement, and they all bowed their heads elegantly.

And the NV kid wearing the peacock mask seemed to be particularly interested in one of these people, and every time he watched the auction for a while, he secretly looked over here with the young man and others around him behind his back. And as soon as he met the eyes of the noble children, he quickly turned around, like a little NV child who was caught stealing candy.

Of course, the boys were excited, and even his brother Rice was a little stupid.

However, the NV kids weren't so happy. Anne found that several aristocratic ladies around her had blue faces, and even Scarlett, who had been staring intently at the auction table, did not seem to look very good.

But that's not Anne's business.

At this time, she was much more comfortable than when everyone around her was talking about how much a certain auction item was and showing off those similar things at home.

The interested gaze fell on the boy with the mask, and for some reason, the figure and side of the other party reminded her of Roy.
