In the summer of 7143 in the Guangming calendar, Ziyang City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In one of the largest auction houses in Ziyang City, buyers in the "100 Gold Coins", "120 Gold Coins", and "150 Gold Coins" auction hall are fiercely bidding for a small brown and red wooden box.

On the auction table is a product being auctioned, a brown-red wooden box, the lid of the wooden box is open, and pleasant music comes from this brown-red wooden box.

The wooden box on the "200 gold coins" auction table had been raised to two hundred gold coins, and a middle-aged man walked quickly to the auction table and whispered a few words to the auctioneer standing on it.

"I'm very sorry, but this "Dream Wedding" music box has been ordered by a VIP..." said the auctioneer apologetically to the more than 100 buyers sitting in the audience.

In the auction hall, only one music box is auctioned every day, and many guests came here for the music box of "Dream Wedding" auctioned for the first time in Ziyang City today.

However, no one stood up to question the auction house's temporary cancellation of the auction, and these buyers all knew that it must be an extremely prominent figure in the city who could make the largest auction house in Ziyang City temporarily cancel the auction.

The Lord's Mansion of Ziyang City.

"My lord, the music box has been returned. Magal, the steward of the Lord's Mansion, walked to the table with a brown-red wooden box in his hand, and at the desk sat a golden-haired man, a blonde man about sixty years old, who was the Lord of Purple Sun City, Marquis Levin Nolan.

Taking the wooden box from the butler Magal, Levin carefully studied the brown-red wooden box in his hand, and finally, Levin put the wooden box on the table, gently opened the lid of the wooden box, and the light and pleasant music came out of the wooden box, and the classic "Dream Wedding" by the pianist Richard Clayderman sounded in this room.

When the last note fell, the music box stopped turning, and Lewin reached out and twisted the clockwork on the side of the wooden box a few times, leaning back in his chair, Lewin Nolan, the lord of Purple Sun City, closed his eyes and listened to this beautiful piano music again.

When the music box stopped spinning again, Levin slowly opened his eyes and stared at the music box in front of him, listening to the piano song, Levin couldn't help but think of his daughter Freya.

Before marrying Landry Pars, King of Gilgias, Freya often played the piano in this room, and if Freya knew that there was such a beautiful piano music, she would be very happy, and once at home, her daughter Freya's favorite thing was to play the piano.

Gently closing the lid on the brown-red wooden box on the table, Lewin handed the music box to the butler Magal who was standing on the side, took the music box with both hands, and Magal put the music box on the shelf, and on the shelf on the side of the desk, there were already five identical music boxes.

The music in these boxes is different, from left to right, "To Alice", "Nocturne", "Moonlight", "Autumn Whispers", "Swan Lake", and "Dream Wedding", which was just added today.

"Magal, what price can you buy a music box in the auction house now?" asked the Marquis of Lewin, who was sitting in a chair, "My lord, a music box in the auction house can sell at least two hundred gold coins, and since the auction house only sells one music box a day, it will soon be bought by buyers." Magal, who had placed the music box on the shelf, turned around and said.

"Two hundred gold coins..." Lewin put his hands on the armrests of his seat, "I heard that Black Rock City can produce nearly two hundred music boxes every month, and that year it was more than two thousand music boxes, and in a year, that is the income of more than 400,000 gold coins." Lewin looked up at Magal, the butler, who was standing beside him.

Magar had the same incredible look on his face as Lewin, Magar knew that as the lord of Purple Sun City, Lord Lewin only collected more than 300,000 gold coins from the territory every year, while Claude Kuru, the lord of Black Rock City, could earn more than 400,000 gold coins a year by selling music boxes, plus other income in the territory, Claude's annual money far exceeded that of Lewin Nolan, the lord of Purple Sun City.

It's hard to imagine, but it happens, and less than four years after Claude Kuru became Lord of Blackstone, he quickly became one of the richest lords in the Kingdom of Gilgias.

"When the two of them were in Ziyang City, I thought Bogula was a good person, but I didn't expect that my brother Claude was a real genius. Levine sighed softly as he leaned back in his chair.

Four years ago, Lewin had met Meng Fan in the Lord's Mansion, and it was Meng Fan who came up with the idea of burning the Bretan siege tower and saving Ziyang City, which was attacked by the Bretan army.

When Lewin saw Bogula's younger brother Claude for the first time, Lewin felt that this thin black-haired man was not at all inconspicuous, and his appearance and temperament were far from that of his brother Bogura, Lewin thought that this Claude would not become a character, but now it seems that Lewin's original idea was completely wrong, and Meng Fan has become a great lord who dominates one side.

Lewin had already received the news that Meng Fan, the lord of Blackstone City, not only served as the lord of Cold Water City, but Meng Fan also controlled the Giant Wood City in the east, and the three territories in the east of Ziyang City were all in Meng Fan's pocket, and Meng Fan quickly expanded his territory and power in less than four years after he became the lord of Blackstone City.

While admiring the talents of Claude Kuru, Lord of Blackstone, Lewin was also wary of Claude, knowing that a man of Claude's talent and power ambition would never be satisfied with the land and wealth he now owned.

――――――――――――

The Lord's Mansion of Blackstone City.

The young musician Schubert sat in front of a black piano and played this fresh and cheerful piano piece called "Autumn Whispers", "Autumn Whispers", like "Dream Wedding", by the hands of the earth's pianist Richard Clayderman.

Meng Fan sat on the side and listened to Schubert's performance silently, the dark mage Mar Sahar stood behind Meng Fan as usual, and Mar Sahar in the black robe looked like a solemn statue from a distance.

Soon after, the tax collector Tiberius entered the house, and when Tiberius saw the lord enjoying the piano music, he gently came to stand beside Meng Fan, and listened to the piano music played by Schubert with Meng Fan.

Schubert's fingers jumped so quickly on the keys that even Meng Fan had to admire the young musician's talent for playing the piano.

On earth, Meng Fan graduated from a conservatory of music majoring in piano, but Meng Fan's piano playing skills are not exquisite, Meng Fan has never had the opportunity to play solo in the school-level piano performance competition, in the conservatory, Meng Fan is a low-key and ordinary student.

And at the moment sitting at the piano playing Schubert is different, Meng Fan can feel Schubert's musical talent, if Schubert was born on earth, then maybe he can also grow into a piano master like Richard Clayderman, Meng Fan couldn't help but think in his heart.
