Chapter 8 "Ancestral" Treasures, Winds of Glory

Donald, who had obtained elemental crystals and iron ore, was quiet for two days without leaving the room, and even reduced his diet to one meal a day.

There was no other action than to instruct the steward Kod to spend a few kingsols on a carriage and two medium horses with the money he had left.

Butler Ke De had also heard some rumors about the cultivation habits and quirks of the mages, and he was not impressed by the strange behavior of his young master, but was secretly happy. The only thing I am worried about is that the young master's cultivation is too hard, and his body is exhausted. So I invested a lot in the food of that meal, and tried to hope that the young master could supplement more nutrients. If this continued, the remaining three or four gold soles in his hand would soon be spent on only one and a few silver moons.

However, these Ke De didn't care, as long as the young master's cultivation was completed, then as much gold as he wanted, he could earn as much gold as he wanted.

Another day passed, and Donald, who hadn't slept well in the past two days, walked out of his room refreshed.

After summoning two soul walkers at the cost of two second-level crystal nuclei, he has successfully meditated and has become a mage apprentice, who can initially mobilize his spiritual power and cast some simple small spells, such as moving a small feather or leaf to make it float in the air, or lighting a candle out of thin air. These spells are all level 0 spells with no attack power, also known as tricks or apprentice spells. If you reach a certain level of mental power and can use it flexibly, then you will be able to learn these spells spontaneously.

The meditation effect makes him still full of energy even if he hasn't slept for two days, and the meditation process can replace part of the sleep effect, plus people are in good spirits on happy occasions, so he seems so energetic.

After enjoying a hearty breakfast, Donald saw Kirdra go to the uninhabited backyard, where he didn't know what to do, and then he saw the master and servant mysteriously carrying a long gray cloth bag.

After returning to the room and tidying up, and wearing the newly purchased clothes, Donald took Clinton and Cord into the carriage and ordered George and Bush to act as coachmen and drive in the direction of Boulder.

On the way to Boulder City, Donald's master and servant sat opposite each other in the carriage.

"Kede, you remember all the plans I said before!"

Ke De looked excited, and a little strange glanced at his young master, and replied:

"Yes, young master, Ke De has never forgotten every word!"

Donald smiled.

"Okay, let's plan when we get to the place later!"

Ke De glanced at his young master, and he stopped talking a little, but finally didn't say anything.

Donald on the side had already closed his eyes and studied his newly acquired mage abilities.

Half an hour passed, and the private carriage was much faster than the one Donald had ridden last time, and soon they were in Boulder.

After a while, an inconspicuous black carriage stopped in front of the largest and only auction house in Boulder City, the Kinsol Auction House.

The black carriage and the fifty silver moons of an ordinary horse were so small and humble compared to the richly decorated and splendid façade of the auction house. Even the carriages parked at the entrance of the auction house are all decorated, and those with a slightly inferior grade dare not stop in front of the door, so they can only squeeze into the alley in the distance.

Clinton and George outside were ordered to carry the long gray cloth bag out of the carriage, and before they could get out of the carriage, Donald heard the shouting outside:

"What are you doing? This is the Kinsol Auction House, not a place where you country mud legs come from! You want to buy agricultural goods and go to the market in the civilian area! There will be a noble lord's carriage to listen to here later, go and go, don't be an eyesore here!"

It turned out that the servants of the two auction houses could not help but shout at them when they saw Bush, who was not wearing armor, parking an ordinary carriage in a conspicuous vacant seat in front of the door, and the other coachman turned back into the carriage to take out something.

You must know that they are waiting for a big man to lead the parking and get a lot of money for the big man who is following the attendant steward to greet the guests outside!

And this rustic carriage actually occupies the only vacant seat in front of the door now, doesn't this cut off their financial route?

So he relied on his identity as an employee of the auction house and scolded the coachman who seemed to have no origin. Anyway, such carriages are at most used by small traders in the countryside, and they are not afraid of offending people who should not be offended.

The butler Cod, who was still in the carriage and was about to go out, was furious when he heard these scoldings. If it was his former self, he would have been insulted like this, maybe he would have endured it and passed, but the other party also scolded his young master in it, which is something that the loyal Kede can't forgive.

Passing over George and the other three with the baggage they were carrying, Kod rushed out of the carriage with an angry face, pointed to the two servants and began to reprimand them.

When the two servants saw a middle-aged man who looked like a steward coming out of the carriage, they couldn't help but feel a little weak, they were just the lowliest servants in the auction house, responsible for the dirty work of carrying goods and leading horses and parking for guests, not to mention their status, they couldn't catch up with the guards in the row, that is, those waiters and maids who served the adults, and they were a head higher than them when they spoke.

Being able to stand in front of the door and lead the parking space for the guests is still the fat difference they have obtained by bribing the steward above with two months' wages.

However, the more humble people are, the stronger their self-esteem, in the face of the big people with higher status than them, they humbly hide that bit of self-esteem, and in the face of the existence of a similar or inferior status, they will even more belittle each other and show their own tallness.

So despite the weakness of their hearts, seeing that Kode might be the manager of a small shop, although he was higher than them, what kind of place was this? This was the Jinsol Auction House, one of the largest commercial forces in Boulder City! With such a behemoth behind them, they also had something to rely on, and they sneered at Kede with a fake tiger.

Kede was furious in his heart, after the decline of the Merlinna family, although he suffered a lot to raise the little master alone, he did not let the little master suffer such insults.

But Kode, who is a noble butler, can't reply to the two slave-like servants. I can only be speechless there.

When the two servants saw that the other party did not speak, they thought that they were powerless to refute, and laughed loudly even more.

At this time, a steward in the auction house who had just personally sent the two guests to their seats heard the voice and hurried back to the door.

Seeing the scene here, the middle-aged steward who looked like a scholar frowned at that time.

Compared with the superficiality of the two servants, as the steward responsible for receiving VIPs, naturally they will not all judge people by their appearance, you must know that there are many powerful professionals with quirks, even those who come to the door dressed as beggars have also appeared. He had heard the tragic story of the steward of a large shop in the royal capital who had insulted a nobleman dressed plainly and dressed in private clothes, and became the most despicable slave.

This story has made many business stewards take warning, and as one of the largest auction house stewards in Boulder City, he is no exception.

However, the object of ridicule of these two servants did not look like some big person, at most small businessmen who were very interested in the salon recently held by the auction house, and how could such a party be attended by small businessmen?

So the steward decided in his heart how to deal with it.

"Why are you two making such a noise here, don't you want to do it?"

Seeing the steward coming, Kod was overjoyed and wanted to complain about the rudeness of the two servants. But before he could speak, he heard the steward say:

"Recently, we have a lot of big names in our auction house, so we don't do small business, so you can invite this guest back!"

A sentence swallowed Kode there, and his face turned red and he couldn't speak.

At this time, Donald in the carriage walked out and stopped the three Clinton from preparing to teach each other a lesson, if they made a move, they would definitely be able to easily beat each other half to death, but in that case, things would not be easy to handle.

Donald didn't take the ridicule of the two servants to heart, with his status as a mage's apprentice and a secret killer feature like the Book of Truth, he could become a big man admired by everyone sooner or later. What's more, even if he is still a quasi-aristocratic status, although he is down, he is not comparable to two servants, so why bother with them, it is something that cannot be done!

However, he didn't expect that in just a few words, the situation would develop like this, and if he didn't take any action, not only would the purpose of this trip not be achieved, but his butler would be insulted in vain.

This is unforgivable for Donald, who regards Kode as a relative, and today he has to bully others!

"Why, is your bank so powerful that it is comparable to that of the royal family of the Serts? A small servant can insult the heir of the nobility and his servants, and if so, then I will have to go to the noble council and the royal court to seek a just verdict!"

A tepid sentence came out of Donald's mouth, but the two servants who were still arrogant were suddenly silenced, and also made the face of the later steward change greatly.

From the moment the young man came out of the carriage, the steward chuckled in his heart and secretly said that things were not good.

Although the handsome young man in front of him was not dressed gorgeously, he was wearing the formal and legal dress of a noble man, and this was undoubtedly a real nobleman or noble heir. Even if it is a small noble, it is a superior person, not a commoner like them can provoke.

And insulting the nobles as a commoner is to be punished with whipping, and his own body can't afford to bear the twenty whips!

And although he didn't participate, he was able to put the blame on the two servants who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but if the matter was rumored, it would definitely have an impact on the reputation of the auction house, and it would be difficult to protect his job at that time.

The boss will not offend the aristocracy for a small stewardship, even if it is a down-and-out nobleman with no money and no power. Look at the three coachmen just now, they are Kong Wu's powerful attendants, where do they look like ordinary coachmen. With such an attendant, the ability of this nobleman is estimated to be not small.

Fortunately, there was no one around, and this situation was not seen by outsiders, as long as he encircled the noble boy and his servant, then things would be much easier. It's a big deal to let them participate in the aristocratic salon held this time, anyway, arrange a seat in a side hall, and not many people will find out.

So the steward immediately changed his smiling face, and said again and again:

"I'm really sorry! These two people are so dizzy that they dare to insult this lord, and I, Barrow, as the steward of the Kinsol Auction House, will definitely deal with them with the most severe punishment!"

"Distinguished guests, please come with me to the reception room for a short rest, there will be a salon in this auction house later, see if the adults will be interested!"

With that, he bowed down and led Donald through the door.

Donald nodded displeased and angry,

Seeing his young master's plain words, which made the attitude of the manager of the largest auction house in Boulder City change like this, Ke De was both relieved in his heart, but also a little unable to see his young master. He couldn't figure it out, so he could only push these onto the reason why the young master had become a great ** teacher.

As for the three Clintons, they didn't think much about it at all, and in their consciousness, everything the master did was reasonable.

As everyone knows, although he was just an otaku in his previous life, Donald, who has enough confidence himself, can pretend in front of outsiders without revealing the slightest flaw. Of course, this is also because of his own strength, so he did not show his timidity, otherwise it would be easy to be seen through by a well-informed person like Barrow.

With the butler and Clinton, and the remaining George and the two men carrying the long gray cloth baggage, Donald followed the steward into the auction house with steady steps.

In a separate reception room, Barrow ordered the waiters to serve Donald delicate refreshments, and then instructed the two auction house guards to take down the two stupid servants and ask Donald for his opinion.

Donald didn't care about such trivial matters, and waved his hand to let Kode decide for himself. As a result, the kind-hearted and soft-hearted Kede did not punish them severely, let the two villains go, and simply fired them. Otherwise, at least they will suffer a meal of flesh and skin, even if they are beaten to death, they will die in vain, and no one will stand up for two poor servants who collide with the nobles.

The unpleasantness just now was resolved, Donald took a sip of milk tea in a cup of elegant manner, and then smiled at the steward Barrow and said, "I have a business that I want to do with your auction house, I wonder if Barrow has done it?"

Barrow glanced at the young man with a calm expression with some surprise, at such an age, but he is so steady, and his background must be extraordinary, is his previous estimate wrong?

He immediately replied: "In ordinary business, Barrow can be the master, depending on the meaning of the lord, is there any goods to be awarded to me at the Kinsol Auction House? If so, Barrow can give you a preferential price!"

"Hehe! Thank you Barrow for your kindness, but this thing is different from me, and it is not sold directly, but is going to participate in the auction, you better see it for yourself before making a decision!"

Donald gestured to Kede, and Kede immediately stepped forward and said according to the words handed to him by the young master before:

"Because our young master has recently become a mage apprentice, he needs a lot of elemental crystals for cultivation, so he has to reluctantly decide to sell the ancestral treasure, and then find a way to redeem it after becoming an official mage in the future!"

After speaking, he pulled the gray cloth in his hand and put it on the table, and the item that had been wrapped finally revealed its true face.

I saw that this was an ordinary two-handed long sword, almost twice the length of the slender long sword, and it was quietly placed on the table. The delicate gauntlet, the deep sword body with a faint inscription, and the sharp blade of the snow-bright sword.

First, when he heard about the identity of the young man in front of him as a mage, the steward was extremely glad that he handled it properly and did not offend the nobles of this nobleman, and then when he saw this beautiful sword that was not like a weapon, the shock in his heart was even more conceivable.

Barrow had already stammered a sentence:

"This, this is, the Knight's Great Sword, right?"

"Exactly! I don't know if you can look down on my ancestral treasure!"

Barro, who heard the voice, came back to his senses and said respectfully to Donald:

"My lord, this treasure is really not something that Barrow can master, but during this period of time, my Kinsol Auction House has invited all the nobles in the area of Boulder City to participate in the annual half-month auction salon, providing some rare artworks and magic items for the nobles to auction, at this time, most of the famous nobles are staying in the city, if the adults can move us to take care of things, then it is not difficult to auction this treasure tonight!"

"Oh, that's a coincidence, so please tell the chief steward of your bank, Barrow, and I must participate in the auction of this treasure!"

Barrow bowed out of the reception room.

Looking at Donald, who was in the presence of the old god, Kede couldn't help but ask with some concern:

"Young master, do you think that the chief steward can accept our knight's sword for auction? And I heard that the power behind this auction house is not small, do you think they will have any bad intentions?"

Donald reassured his butler by saying:

"Don't worry, Uncle Cod. I'm still very confident in my own ability, and the managers of the auction houses are very discerning, and they should be able to see the value of this treasure!

Kede, who had a simple personality, heard that it was the same, so he waited with his heart.

Not long after the two of them finished speaking, they heard a knock on the door outside.

"Please come in!"

I saw a fat man with a round face wearing a robe more ornate than Barrow's, and looking like a kind businessman, pushed the door and walked in. He was followed by Barrow and an old man with a long beard.

After entering the door, Barrow first introduced Donald.

"My lord, this is the Archsteward of Bert at our Kinsol Auction House, and this is my chief appraiser, Mr. Olchi!"

As a housekeeper, Curd stepped forward at this time and said:

"Grand Steward Bert, Master Orch, let me introduce to you, this is the young master of my family, the hereditary knight of the kingdom of my ancestors, and I am the young master's butler Kede!"

Bert and Barrow were slightly shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly saluted.

"Good day, knight!"

Donald waved his hand and said:

"I'm not an adult yet, I haven't passed the knight assessment, and the title of knight should wait for me to officially inherit the family title!"

Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him not only became a mage apprentice, but also a knight heir, if it was a lord with a formal fief, then he could be a field nobleman with the same status as most of the nobles in their Megalith City.

Although many nobles have higher titles than knights, as long as they are not subordinate to the monarch and ministers, they generally belong to the local nobles under the jurisdiction of the royal family, and in principle have the same status. Of course, according to the fourth-class ranking of the nobles, usually the hereditary knight is one rank lower than the baron, and two ranks lower than the viscount who commands at least one city.

And under normal circumstances, the land and power held by the nobles with high titles are also stronger, so in the face of nobles who are stronger than themselves, the nobles must also know how to be humble.

Compared to the two stewards of Barrow and Bert, as soon as the chief appraiser Olch entered the door, his eyes were all on the huge long sword on the table, and his mouth kept admiring words such as "Excellent!

For Olch's faux pas, Archsteward Bert apologized with a little embarrassment:

"Please don't mind, Lord Knight, Mr. Olch has been committed to the appraisal business for decades, and it is inevitable that he will be a little addicted, as for the auction of this item, we will discuss it after Mr. Olch's appraisal!"

Donald replied as if he didn't care:

"It doesn't matter, I understand how I like something and how I feel when I see the precious treasures in it! After all, my ancestral knight's sword of glory is a treasure that is hard to find in the world, and it is normal to look at it more!"

Then he explained to the three of them the origin of the ancestral treasures he had fabricated.

Ke De, who was standing respectfully on the side, almost laughed on the spot when he heard the story that the young master had made up by deliberately raising the value of this big sword. He knew that this thing was just a carload of iron ore from a Jinsol, and it was only a few hours after it was newly baked, so how could there be any inheritance for thousands of years and experience holy wars!
