Aslan looked back and saw a short man in a purple plain robe trotting towards him, he looked to be about forty years old, his prominent cheekbones and deep-set eye sockets perfectly illustrated what a sharp-beaked monkey gills was, and the two slender whiskers between his nose and lips were even more impressive.

"Aslan, I thought I was blind!" the short man ran up and panted.

Aslan knew that the weakness of the mage was that he was not good at physical skills, and he always suffered when fighting in close quarters with the fighter, but this short man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks was a little too exaggerated, and he was already sweating profusely after only a few steps.

"Don't you know me!?" Seeing that Aslan didn't speak, the short man suddenly patted his head and said with relief: "By the way, I haven't told you my name either, my name is Barbale, and I was once saved by you on the magical sea, that is, the time when the deep sea monster, do you remember?"

In fact, without Barbale's guidance, Aslan can remember him, after all, in the small town of Salem at that time, Aslan used this sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man as a cover in order to sneak attack Bishop Feken, but he didn't know the other party's name until now.

"By the way, Barbale, how did you know my name was Aslan?"

"That's what Vivien told me. Barbale responded.

Hearing this, Aslan's expression was stunned, and then he kept asking Barbale about Vivien's whereabouts, and in the short conversation, he learned several things.

According to Barbale, almost half a month ago, they left the island of Salem on the ship of the Cerberus Pirates, and on the way they met a merchant fleet heading to Falling Moon Bay.

After going ashore, they went to the mercenary union to cancel the dragon hunting mission, and then parted ways and went to find their own mothers.

Aslan also learns from Barbary that Vivien is not only a student at the College of Caltalia, but also the only son of Count Debic. With a little brainstorming, Aslan could guess where Vivien was at the moment—home, school, and the Mirror Realm, one of the three.

The bearded officer named Carney returned to the Imperial Base with a group of soldiers to report for duty, and he received the inheritance-level merit [Great Shock] that the old cigarette butt gave him politely, as long as he cultivated hard, he would definitely be able to become a famous general in the Imperial Military Department in the future.

As for the knight with the spirit of the green kite, he was called Baines, and after he came ashore, he disappeared and did not know where he went.

And Barbalai has been staying in the southern city of Falling Moon Bay for the past few days because he wants to obtain a magic teacher certificate.

"Barbale, I see you're familiar with this place, why don't you take us on the City Empty Ship. Aslan said.

"Now?" Barbale saw Aslan nodding, and continued, "You don't know, today is the annual auction festival in Falling Moon Bay, and the celebrities and gentry of the empire have already come here a few days ago to wait for today's auction. As in previous years, in order to maintain order, the entire city is now a no-fly zone, especially in the center of the city. ”

Aslan patted his head and suddenly realized: "No wonder, I thought that those old witches were all flashing to their waists, otherwise there would not even be a broom in the sky." ”

As soon as she heard about the auction, Zhuoya's eyes lit up, and she said to Barbale with a look of anticipation: "Uncle Monkey, what are the auctions selling?"

Being called Uncle Monkey, Barbale couldn't help frowning, but after seeing that the other party was a little girl, he didn't bother with her.

"The auction sells everything, especially a high-level auction ceremony like this, and the quality is naturally first-class, otherwise it would not attract so many celebrities and gentry to come and cheer. Although each auction item is a sky-high price for me, I still plan to buy a ticket for ten yang gold to go in and see the world. ”

After saying that he had bought a ticket with ten yang gold, Barbale looked a little painful, after all, he was still a free mage, unlike those mages who were attached to big forces, he needed to cover all his expenses.

Although the Ministry of Magic will give him a gold subsidy every month, as a middle-level magician, the subsidy he can get every month is ten yang gold, and on the premise of supporting a family, the remaining subsidy is very small, which is why he will take on the dragon hunting task in the mercenary union.

Roland's currency is divided into star copper, moon silver, and yang gold from small to large.

Every ten Star Copper can be exchanged for one Moon Silver, and ten Moon Silver can be exchanged for one Yang Gold.

According to the national average price estimate, two star copper can buy a half-meter-long rum breadstick. Ten yang gold is enough for a family of three to eat and wear for a whole year, but for the annual auction ceremony, ten yang gold is only the price of one ticket.

Suddenly, Barbale's afterglow flashed, and after confirming that the blonde girl in front of him was the Bloodline who had been nailed to the willow tree by Feken, he immediately opened his mouth and said, "You...... You...... Aren't you the blood—"

Realizing the gravity of the word, Barbalai quickly gagged his mouth and looked at Aldwin with a look of consternation, who also looked panicked.

"I said Barbale, forget what you saw in the small town of Salem. Aslan stared at Barbale meaningfully.

"Salem Town?" Barbale continued, pretending to be suspicious, "what is that place?"

Seeing Barbale's changing expression as if he was acting in a drama, Aslan and the others couldn't help laughing, and Aldwin breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand holding Aslan also relaxed.

Zhuoya, who had been thinking about the auction, asked, "Uncle Monkey, when will the auction start?"

Barbale raised his eyebrows and said displeasedly: "Little sister, my name is Barbale, don't call me Uncle Monkey, as for when the auction starts......" He rolled up his sleeves, looked at the mechanical watch on his left wrist, and continued: "It starts at six o'clock, which means that there are still three hours. ”

Hearing this, Zhuoya took Aslan's hand and begged while shaking: "Brother, we can't get out of the city today anyway, so let's just go to the auction." ”

"I can't buy anything when I go, and your brother and I don't have much currency in circulation. ”

Aslan was telling the truth, and though he had a wealth that rivaled the rest of the world, it was a whole bunch of antique crowns, ancient swords, jewels, and ancient gold coins. Of course, there are nearly 20,000 Sea Beast Soul Crystals, and in order to monetize all these things, he first has to open an account in the Imperial Bank, and it is still the most advanced kind.

"It doesn't matter if you can't buy anything, Uncle Monkey has said it, so let's go to see the world. Zoya encouraged with a hippie smile.

Seeing his sister's expectant look, Aslan couldn't bear to refuse her. Besides, even if you leave Falling Moon City today, it is impossible to enter the Mirror Realm immediately, and there is a large-scale auction like this, and the organizer must have the way to realize the goods. So Aslan simply followed Zhuoya's curiosity, and under the leadership of Barbalai, they went to the commodity trade hall in the center of the city......

In fact, the word guild hall is a bit modest, in front of Aslan and the others, a fortress-like red building stands in the center of the city square, and the raised spire flutters three flags, namely the lion of the empire, the sword of the Pope's embers, and the pink flower cluster of the Jasmine Alliance Chamber of Commerce.

There are more than ten main city roads embedded around the Red Fort, under the guidance of soldiers in red uniforms, all kinds of luxury carriages are parked on one side of the Red Fort in an orderly manner, and the entrances of the four arches standing in the southeast and northwest are even more crowded, which really extends in all directions and is bustling.

"Brother, what is the VIP passage, why are there so few people there?" Zhuo Ya happily pointed to a sparsely populated red carpet passage not far away, and at the entrance, a huge crystal display board was engraved with a line of gilt characters - VIP Passage.

Through the long walls of flowers, you can see that the people who enter it are dressed in silk and satin, and these dignitaries and gentlemen stroll into the Red Fort with a proud face under the careful guidance of their servants and guild attendants.

"That's the exclusive passage for certain privileged people, let's go that way too, otherwise we'll all be lining up outside when the auction starts." Aslan took the lead towards the red carpet aisle.

Seeing this, Barbale hurriedly waved his hand to stop him: "No, no, no, that is the exclusive passage of celebrities and gentry, and those who can walk that way are either rich or noble." ”

Barbale didn't say it thoroughly, but the implication was that Aslan didn't qualify for that red carpet aisle.

"Rich or noble......" the corners of Aslan's mouth raised into an uninhibited smile characteristic of the nouveau riche, "How many assets do you think you need to be eligible to go that way?"

Barbalai glanced at Aslan strangely and said, "At least it must be worth tens of millions." ”

Hearing this, Aslan's smile became even brighter, 100 million is a small goal for him, even if his wealth has not yet been realized, but at least there is a valuation of 100 billion.

What is the concept of 100 billion!?

Roland's most prosperous seaport, the Falling Moon Bay with a population of 10 million, the annual tax revenue is only 20 billion yangjin, this is still in the period when the war is a little calmer, if there is a war, the trade system will naturally be affected, and the taxes that the empire can collect will also drop significantly.

So Aslan, the nouveau riche, is definitely a real rich country, but he also knows the truth of his guilt, so he only said to Barbale that he was responsible for the tickets, and then took Aldwin's hand and led Zoya and Harpy towards the red carpet passage.

Barbale hesitated for a moment, and finally followed Aslan and the others to the red carpet passage, perhaps he also wanted to know what kind of identity background this mysterious young man had.
