Chapter 594: Templars
In the heart of Fort Travis, there are four large buildings. The Mercenary Guild, the Cathedral, the Knights' Guild, and the Reggie Family Auction House.
If the most powerful person in the Duchy of Goliath today is Grand Duke Quentin II, then the richest man in Goliath is Mitch Reggie.
Reggie is a legend and a household name in the principality of Goliath. In his early years, he worked as a mercenary, resold monster skins, and worked as a butler for other nobles. He climbed all the way up from the lowest class and spent half his life building a well-known business empire. The Reggie family auction house he founded is one of the largest auction houses in the entire Southern Continent and has a great reputation!
The headquarters of the Reggie family auction house is located in Fort Travis. As a small country, the Principality of Goliath can be among the three most influential countries in the south of the continent, which has nothing to do with Reggie.
Surrounded by a grand duke, coupled with its own financial resources, the headquarters building of the Reggie family auction house is the most luxurious building in Fort Travis, and there is no one.
There are countless people who shuttle through the auction house all day long. Many merchants, wealthy and aristocratic families in the Southern Continent have a close cooperative relationship with the Reggie family. People from all over the continent gather here, either to buy or to sell. There are thousands of auctions sold here every day, and the amount of money involved is astronomical.
Therefore, the people who can come in and out of here are either rich or expensive. People who don't have a little foundation in their pockets don't dare to approach.
A young man in a civilian black robe stood not far from the entrance of the auction house, looking around.
The young man has a resolute look, black hair and black eyes, it is Ge Wei.
Ge Wei held the sword in his hand. Half-hidden in a wide cloak. His eyes were blazing at the crowd of people.
He's here because he knows it. If you want to sell this sword for a good price, you have to go through the right way. If he finds a random weapons shop. If you sell this sword like a cabbage, you will definitely not be able to sell it for a few bucks.
Ge Wei was born in an aristocratic family, and he has been familiar with the way of doing business since he was a child.
If you want to maximize the value of this sword, auction is the preferred method.
Ge Wei walked towards the entrance of the auction house and walked up the neat steps made of white stone.
A receptionist at an auction house. Seeing Ge Wei at a glance, he looked Ge Wei up and down, stepped forward, stood in front of Ge Wei politely, and said, "Your Excellency, may I ask, is there anything I can do for you?"
Ge Wei tore off his cloak slightly, showed the sword inside, and said, "I'll auction this sword." ”
The receptionist glanced inside the cloak. With a smile on his face, he said, "Please show your VIP card." ”
"VIP card?" Ge Wei was stunned and replied, "No." ”
The receptionist smiled again and asked, "Then, please show your letter of introduction." ”
"What is the letter of introduction?"
"To come to auction something, you need to have a letter of introduction signed by the various offices of the Reggie family auction house. After their appraisal, they believe that you want to auction something, and you are eligible to enter the Reggie Family Auction House for auction. After that, we will take care of the auction process for you. The receptionist still smiled, but there was obvious disdain in his eyes for Ge Wei's ignorance.
In his opinion. Although this young man is dressed appropriately, he can talk. But he didn't have the bearing of an aristocracy at all. Obviously, it's a declining aristocratic boy. The thing he wants to auction is probably some kind of "ancestral treasure" or something.
"So troublesome?" Ge Wei frowned. The heart says that the place is not big, and there are many rules. The auction house here is more formal than Shushan.
In fact, this is the unique feature of the Reggie family auction house. Because the reputation of the Reggie family auction house is too loud and there are too many auction matters received every day, it has no choice but to use this method to conduct a round of peripheral "auditions" and select some high-end goods before putting them at the headquarters for auction. For some of the goods, the transaction can be completed directly at the offices around the country.
Ge Wei didn't want to wait too long. If you really start with that letter of introduction, Ma Yue in the Year of the Monkey can sell the sword? He came out this time just to try his luck and see if he could sell his failed work, and find some better materials by the way.
Now that essentia iron has appeared in this plane, it is possible that better materials will appear. So he then asked the receptionist, "Excuse me, is there an easier way, preferably faster?" ”
"Faster, who do you think you are?" the receptionist became impatient, squinted at Ge Wei, and sneered: "Even if Archduke Goliath wants to auction a royal collection with us, you have to go through this procedure for me!
The receptionist glanced at the long sword in Ge Wei's hand, and sneered: "Just this goods, you are embarrassed to bring it to our Reggie Auction House? Boy, do you know what kind of place this is? People like you, let alone auctions, don't even have the qualifications to enter this door! Hurry away, go away, get out of the way! Don't get in the way of my work." ”
The receptionist looked disdainful, like chasing a fly.
Ge Wei was choked for a while, and he was speechless for a while. He had forgotten how long it had been since no one had spoken to him like that. I have encountered it twice in a row in the past two days, should I say that the people here are strong, or is it that the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds?
At this time, someone behind him pushed impatiently and said, "Hey, the one in front, you can't get in, don't be in charge!"
Ge Wei turned and walked down the steps. But I heard the receptionist behind me still muttering: "Really, I don't dare to come and make trouble without looking at what kind of place this is!"
"Alas, Hades is so good at seeing that little ghosts are difficult, no matter what. It can only be said that this is a limitation of the human race. Ge Wei shook his head.
Just as he was pondering how to get past this level, the already noisy front of the auction house suddenly became even more noisy.
Ge Wei raised his eyes curiously, and saw that not far away, a neat line of steps was slowly coming towards the auction house.
Ge Wei looked closely and was surprised to find that this team was actually composed of all golden heavy armored knights! Everyone in the team was wearing golden heavy armor shining with golden light, with long swords hanging from their waists, and white cloaks hanging on their backs. The overall momentum is majestic and solemn!
Ten knights in front of the team opened the way on foot, and ten knights in the rear broke behind. In the middle of the line. Surrounded by two people and two horses.
On a white horse, sat a knight in silver light armor. Holding a sword in one hand, leading a horse in the other, with a graceful demeanor. On another black horse, riding a little Lori in green, with fluttering clothes and a slender body.
The crowd began to unconsciously crowd towards the team.
"It's them again!" Ge Wei pouted, it was really a narrow road. These knights are the same people I saw yesterday.
Ge Wei also followed the crowd over. Then I heard someone talking, "Look! Isn't that the Holy Knights!"
"That's right, it's the Holy Knights of the Holy See! How did they get here?"
"Hey, hey. Look, those two men, the man, are Lord Aeolia!"
"Lady Aeolia, where is it? God, it's really Lord Aeolia!"
"Aeolia-sama, who?" Ge Wei had never heard of it, and asked subconsciously.
The voice came from nowhere, and the voice was full of disdain: "No, you don't even know Lord Aeolia? You're not a native of the country, are you?" I'll tell you, I have to say." Who is the most powerful and heroic in the entire Principality of Goliath is the head of the ten knights of the kingdom and the head of the Holy Knights. According to rumors, Lord Aeoria was chosen as a Templar at the age of eighteen. I've been promoted to Guardian Knight!"
"Guardian Knight?"
There are two major departments of knights, the military department. and faculties.
The military department is all military. Also called War Knight. The Church is a clergy of the Holy See, also called the Templars.
The Templars are both a professional title and a general term for Papal Knights.
"How old is this Aeoria?" asked the man.
"Honorific Aeolia. How old is it?" the voice hesitated, thought for a moment, and said, "Yes, no more than 20 years old, right?"
"So young. Ge Wei smashed his mouth, a little surprised.
At the age of 20, he has a seventh-order strength, and this Aeolia has a very outstanding talent. Another genius.
"Who is that girl?" asked Ge Wei as he looked at the green-clothed little Lori on a black horse. Lori is very well-behaved, with a sweet smile, and her eyes reveal her lively and active nature.
"It seems that you really are not from the country. That young lady was the youngest daughter of Grand Duke Goliath, and was specially given the title of Holy Princess by His Majesty the Pope. Lord Aeolia is the guardian knight of the little princess!"
"The princess of the Pope's title, the guardian knight?" said Ge Wei thoughtfully. I didn't expect the Duchy of Goliath and the Holy See to be so close?
Suddenly, Ge Wei's eyes lit up, and he thought about it.
"Hey, there's a way to bypass the introductory letter. ”
A wicked smile appeared on Ge Wei's face. Unceremoniously squeezed forward, and squeezed to the front of the crowd of onlookers in three or two clicks, causing a burst of dissatisfied scolding behind him: "What a squeeze!"
With a mischievous smile on the corner of his mouth, Ge Wei looked fixedly at the team that was slowly approaching.
On horseback, the Aeorian knight and the little princess chatted and laughed, and the Aeoria knight with a very graceful smile, from time to time pointed out some interesting scenes for the little princess, which made the little princess laugh happily.
The crowd on both sides, as the ten heavily armored knights in front of them, consciously gave way to both sides. No one dares to stand in the way. A road was soon cleared along the way, leading to the entrance of the Reggie family auction house.
Just as the team walked to where Ge Wei was, Ge Wei suddenly pinched his nose and said in a very strange voice: "Look! That Aeolian knight! The sword on his waist, what kind of goods, you can tell at a glance that it is a stall!
The crowd was in an uproar! People looked over to see who was so bold as to say such a thing in front of Lord Aeoria.
At this moment, another voice sounded. The voice was particularly strange, sharp and thin, like a goblin: "Don't talk nonsense, people are also noble knights." How can you use a stall to sell goods!"
The previous voice replied, "I tell you, don't believe it yet." In my opinion, this little brother's sword is a hundred times stronger than the sword of the Aeorian Knight!"
"It's really fake, you're bragging!" said a shrill voice.
The former said, "Don't believe we bet?"
"Bet on what?"
"If I lose, I'll go up and that horse for three days and three nights!"
"How do you know that Aeoria is a mare, and it can't be a male?"
"Of course it's the mother's. How else could Lord Aeoria ride it?"
The audience was stunned. (To be continued......)
