Chapter 22 - Market Open

This voice is naturally a ring spirit.

Since she revealed her identity that day, she has not used the voice that is neither male nor female, but in her arrogance, this female voice may not be the real voice of the deity, because this voice is milky, and it is too big to say that a girl is too old, just like a girl who is seven or eight years old. But he only hid this in his heart, he didn't want to attract this girl to be there for a long time, anyway, this girl's voice was much stronger than before.

Then, at the request of Ao Zongheng, the ring spirit finally taught him how to read the heart method, but the tuition fee was twenty large rubies obtained from Senu Beisi, and Ao Zongheng has never been heavy on money, so of course he will not feel pain. What's more, this kind of wonderful spell is not something you can learn by spending a lot of money at all.

However, it is not necessarily a good thing to learn his recitation method, for example, the ring spirit will now come out from time to time to say two strange words, which is simply unusual, but since it will not be discovered by others, Ao Yue will either ignore her or stab her twice, but I don't know who suffers more.

In this situation, Ao Zheng is naturally too lazy to reply to her.

However, the Ring Spirit continued: "I said, why have I never seen you find a singer and a wine girl? I think you are not young, you will not still be a virgin, right?"

Ao Zongheng almost didn't choke on her words. Although he had never heard of the word virgin, of course he knew what a virgin was, and with this context, how could he not understand it.

"Is it because I'm afraid I'll be embarrassed? It's okay, I can avoid it, I'll tell you seriously, I will never peek, don't worry. ”

"Okay, stop talking about these stupid things, I don't like these women from another world", Ao Zongheng really can't stand this ring spirit continuing to entangle this topic, especially a milky girl who says these words, how harsh it sounds.

But the Ring Spirit still didn't let him go, "Oh, so you don't like these exotic customs, so what type do you like......?"

At this time, another group of people entered the store, looking only at the physique and clothing of the first few people, and they could not see where they came from, but their appearance was obviously different from that of the other buyers. However, for Aozong, the real meaning of this group of people is not this.

"Don't talk, it's not easy to come, I don't want to make a fuss, go back to the room first." Before he finished speaking, he swept away the last piece of meat from his plate and hurried back to his room. Finally got out of the tiger's mouth of the ring spirit temporarily.

The inn was bustling until late at night, and if you include the creaking of the bed boards, or the spring sounds of joy or performance, it can be said that it lasted all night. The annual horse market, it is not only horses who are in a hurry to do business, but also some people say, this is not also a horse market, this is the opening ceremony of the horse market.

The next day, he didn't go out of the room until Huo Wu, not that he couldn't sleep because he was disturbed by the sound of spring, the truth was that he had already inquired about it, and the horse market played meat every year was held in the afternoon of the first two days, and the reason why it was set in the afternoon was to facilitate those rich aristocrats who love to be late, love to sleep lazily and have the most money.

The market in the Tambro Continent, the shortest is three days, the longest is more than a month, and the horse market is short, no more than five days at most, after all, the horses are squeamish, and they can't be stocked in the market, and after a long time, even if they don't lose fat and get sick, their spirits will deteriorate, and even if they are barely sold, the price will fall sharply.

Today is the first day, and the mood of the sellers is the highest, so experienced buyers, especially those who are used to doing large volume transactions, will not sell today. The time before noon is mainly to look around, understand the general quality of this year's foals, first circle a few favorite targets, and wait until the foal auction at the earliest, and then start trading one after another. Therefore, the Pony Auction is actually a symbolic part of the official opening of the horse market every year.

Naturally, he didn't come to the horse market to do wholesale, he was aiming at the foal auction, so he was not interested in visiting the horse pens of other horse dealers. However, the city of Dowen has a long reputation, and there are many wealthy aristocrats, so there are also some booths selling other kinds of goods to catch a ride.

Most of the people who participated in the horse market were rich aristocrats, and they were aristocrats who loved horses, so the merchants who came to hitchhike could not sell food clothes, paintings and carvings, but mainly gold accessories, armor and weapons, these things are expensive, and the armor is also exquisite and elegant, and the materials are solid, but it is meaningless for Aoheng. However, I was in a place where weapons were sold, and I met the last group of people to enter the store last night, and last night I was in a hurry to get rid of the ring spirit, and today I took a slightly serious look at these people.

Ao Zongheng is not a person who pays attention to clothing, let alone has studied the clothing of the Ploz world, but he can also see at a glance that the costumes of these people are completely different from the Loren Magaga costumes he has seen before. The clothes of the Loren Magajia people seen by the arrogant are mostly fitted and cut, with few pleated sleeves, the commoners use linen, and the nobles use more satin and wool, and the clothes of this group of people are wide robes and large sleeves, and the clothes of several people led by them are silk weaving, and the surface is full of pearl-like luster, which everyone can see that it is worth a lot.

This group of people was quite generous, and they bought three sets of full-body armor and three sheathed long swords in a short time, and these things alone cost thirty Luo Lun shields, which is equivalent to the income of many people for more than a year. Those people did not speak the language of Loren Magaga, but naturally it was difficult for them to have the arrogance of the mantra, but they could understand but did not understand the meaning, and only knew that those people called him Brother Dabang.

The venue of the foal auction is in the center of the horse market, the auction will not restrict admission, but there are only dozens of chair seats, and you can only stand when you come late, and those who intend to bid take a numbered wooden card, but do not charge any deposit, anyway, every year the horse market is the most important to the local Vicelord, there are guards outside the city, there are patrols in the city, and even sometimes the Vicelord also comes with personal guards to patrol, those who shout empty but can't take out cash or money orders, they have someone to clean up.

Ao Zongheng was not interested in other things, so he received a number plate early and took a seat at the venue. Proud has also participated in horse auctions in Middle-earth, and although there are many differences in the architectural furnishings between the two places, it is also quite simple in the century, after all, it is not these things that come to participate in the auction.

In a short time, the seats in the field were almost full, and there were several groups of people in the field wearing fine clothes, of course, a few foreigners in silk robes were also in the field, although there were some nobles in the venue, but if you want to say that the head of the party is big, the bearded man who is headed is sitting on his own chair, and the rest of the servants are sitting cross-legged on the ground.

Seeing that the mallet division who was in charge of shouting also came to the stage, Ao Zongheng also said that the auction was about to start, and the first thing the mallet division did when he came to the stage was to invite the local lord to be the witness of the bidding, that is, the mayor of the town of Ranmai, Nenewa County, and his head boss, Second Lord Jinguole. In addition to these two magistrates, there was another person who was invited to be a witness, and that was the eldest son of the palace of Xiaduo, who rode from Xiaduo.

How can a mere horseman, a low-ranking nobleman, be on the same stage as two landlords and tycoons? Moreover, those people who watched the scene seemed to have more respect for him than they did towards those two. It's really strange to be arrogant, but unfortunately the spirit can't give an answer to this kind of question, according to her, she only pays attention to the world's major events, and her eyes can't see such a low level of one city and one town. Fortunately, an old man next to him was very enthusiastic and solved his doubts for pride.

It turns out that this Xia Duo is a big celebrity, of course, it is not this little Xia Duo, or even the Xia Duo Gong Yu who did not come, but his grandfather, the old Xia Duo.

Why is Old Shaduo famous? Because he has bred one of the most famous horse breeds in the entire Tambro Continent, the Shaduo Horse, yes, named after him.

The Shadors are actually a family of freemen who live in Dovin, and their history of horse herding predates the establishment of the Loren Magaga Kingdom. It is also because of the achievements of the old old Xia Duo, and the king at that time Pintuo loved the horse as his life, and decided to make him a nobleman, the king must not be low, he gave the land of Xia Duo's family and some of the surrounding cultivated land to the old Xia Duo, according to the reason, this specification should be the title of the county, but the king thinks that most of the county is a vassal of the county magistrates, and the words of the county are not enough to reflect the king's grace, so he was named the same level of the title Gong Yu, but this palace itself is the title of the court nobles, only Yu Lu has no fief, so this old old Xia Duo has become the only palace with a fief in the history of the Loren Magaga Kingdom, and has continued to this day。

The Shaduo family is the undisputed number one horse breeding family in the kingdom, how can you see it?Do you remember the four towns that take turns to host the Dowen County Horse Market every year, in fact, they are all around the Shaduo family's fiefdom? That's right, if there is no Xia Duo family, it is likely that there will not be a horse market in Duowen County, so even Lord Dujue is polite to Xia Duo Gong Yu, and no matter which town comes to run the horse market, the auction witnesses will always have a place for Xia Duo Gong Yu, but the old Xia Duo is very old, and almost all of the people who have appeared in recent years are his heirs, that is, this rider Xia Duo, so everyone on the scene was not surprised by his appearance.

"Bang, bang, bang" The mallet in the hand of the mallet master struck three times in a row, and the first foal auction in Dowen County Horse Market this year officially opened.
