Chapter 16: The Feast of the Elves

"Ah......" The fat golden man rushed towards the butler with his eyes closed, not noticing that there was another person at the door. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Stop!" Boss Willie, who came out of the main hall, drank him.

Hearing the voice, the fat man opened his eyes, only to find that Qingkong had been let go by the manager, and he was rubbing his palms painfully on the side, so he hurriedly ran over and asked with concern, "Xiaokong, are you okay?"

Instead of answering, he raised his head, his stubborn face widening and looking at the butler angrily.

"What's going on?" Willie asked with a little anger as he looked at the VIP who was blocked behind him.

"Boss Willy, this young master has to break through without an invitation, and his subordinates are forced to do something to him. It was a dereliction of duty for his subordinates to affect the entry of the VIPs behind," the housekeeper didn't seem to expect the boss to come out in person, and his voice trembled a little, "Oh, by the way, this young master claims to be the second young master of the Qing family." ”

"Oh?" Willy was a little surprised, and turned to see the angry Sky on the side.

When Willy's gaze swept over the blue eyes of the sky, an imperceptible glimmer of light flashed in the delicate eyes.

"It turned out to be the second young master of the Qing family, and I was the owner of Willy Restaurant. There was a misunderstanding just now, my subordinates were a little rude, I will make amends to you on his behalf, please ......come in quickly," Willy said with a smile.

When he saw Willy's smile on his face, the anger on his face seemed to gradually subside.

"What else can you do if you don't calm down? Even the head of a restaurant can't beat the waste, people give it to the bottom of the stairs, of course, they have to accept it when they see it. The voice in Qingkong's heart sounded mercilessly.

The fat golden man saw that Qingkong was still standing there, afraid that his stubborn temper would come up, so he hurriedly ran over and pulled his clothes, signaling him to be patient.

The sky's turquoise eyes narrowed into a line so that the anger in his eyes would not be seen by others. And there was only one person in Qingkong's eyes, and that was the manager, who he had memorized.

Qingkong turned and walked calmly into the main hall, even though there was still a burning pain in his palm.

Seeing the state of Qingkong, the golden fat man grinned, but fortunately his stubborn temper did not come up, so he followed him into the main hall.

"Boss......" The manager said when he saw Willy let go in like this.

"Don't say it. Willie thought of his green eyes just now, interrupted him, and stopped talking.

"That's it, there will be a few distinguished guests from the Pastoral Capital soon, and you must personally lead them to the VIP table, and don't make any trouble for me. ”

"Yes, boss. The steward replied respectfully.

......

The huge main hall was densely packed with luxurious tables and chairs, and next to each table and chair was served by a richly dressed maid. In the center of the hall is a booth several meters long and wide, on which it is estimated that the auction items will be displayed in a few moments.

"The two young masters, please. After reading the seat number handed to her by Jin Ming, the maid at the door smiled and led the two to the back position.

The golden fat man watched the seat in front of him slowly move away from him, although his face was unwilling, but he still held back, because he knew that his father could only compare with the high-ranking people here with money.

When they come to their place, they are already in a lower place.

The golden fat man said with some embarrassment: "The view of this position is really good, and it is ......"

The fat man glanced at the sky beside him as he spoke, and realized that the sky was a little strange. His expression was blank, his eyes were hollow, and the corners of his mouth were a little cold, which made the fat man's heart a little chilly.

Perhaps it was because he felt that the fat man's words were broken, and Qingkong realized that the fat man's gaze was on him, so an innocent smile returned to his face, and the previous coldness disappeared in an instant.

"And the maids around are much more beautiful than the ones in front, haha. Qingkong took the golden fat man's words and looked at the maid beside him evilly.

The maid was not very old, and her delicate little face was flushed with shame because of Qingkong's words. There is no doubt that she is happy, and that the appreciation of the guests here is what every maid desires, if she can still be admired...... Becoming a lover or something, that is, the sparrow becomes a phoenix.

The more this is the case, the more the fat man feels that something is wrong, because he usually did all these "provocative things". Although Qingkong is very squirming, he has never been interested in women.

Seeing that the fat man still had a strange expression, Qingkong simply ignored him, turned to the waitress on the side and asked, "Where is this VIP seat?"

"In the two rows closest to the stand. The maid who had just finished being praised replied happily.

"What are you going to auction in a moment?"

"Young master, I'm sorry, I don't know much about this, because our hotel has always kept this a secret. ”

"Where are you from?"

“......”

When Qingkong and the maid chatted for a while, the number of people in the hall began to increase.

Everyone began to shush each other whether they knew each other or not, after all, they were either high-ranking officials or super-rich businessmen who came here, and everyone wanted to be familiar with each other's hearts, and this thing of familiar faces would come in handy at any time.

When the hall was already full, Qingkong sat up slightly straighter, and saw that there were still a few empty seats in the two rows of VIP seats in front of him, and he looked carefully, but there was no person he was looking for.

The main hall with a lot of people is a bit hot, and even if there are constant maids serving on the side, it doesn't work.

"Why don't you start yet......"

The heat was annoying, and people began to complain in the main hall. Indeed, it has been half an hour since there were so many people in the hall, but there was still no movement on the other side of the booth.

Coincidentally, as soon as the man finished complaining, there was a sound of footsteps in the living room, and everyone's eyes swept to the door.

Before the first person to enter the main hall had fully entered the main hall, a cold light flashed in Qingkong's eyes, and even the fat man next to him seemed to feel the coldness, and that person was the manager who had just clashed with Qingkong.

The manager didn't have much expression, and after entering the main hall, he didn't leave, but stood on the side of the door and bowed slightly, as if waiting for the person behind.

The people in the hall were curious about who could be received by the manager of Willy's Restaurant, and soon the answer came out. A boy about the size of the sky walked into the main hall. The young man was dressed in a luxurious green shirt, and the front of the shirt was embroidered with a towering ancient tree, and under the ancient tree was a little starlight.

Although Qingkong's gaze had been looking at the manager coldly, he was unconsciously attracted by the people behind him. He suddenly felt that he had seen this dress somewhere, his mind was rolling, and his eyes suddenly lit up: Heh, it turned out to be a person from the capital of the pasture, no wonder this manager stood there like a dog.

The arrogant appearance of the young man in green made Qingkong very unhappy, so he lay on the chair and looked at the top of the restaurant, and stopped looking.

After a few seconds, the golden fat man hurriedly pulled the corner of Qingkong's clothes, and said with some excitement: "Hey, Xiaokong, Xiaokong, look." ”

Qingkong lay on the chair and looked up lazily, muttering, "What are you looking at......"

Looking ahead, I realized that there was a girl of the same age behind the young man in green.

Although the girl is far away from the sky, she can still see that she has a beautiful face, and the light makeup and light shadow are just embellishments for her, and a green robe sets off her tall figure.

Qingkong inadvertently compared the maid next to him with the girl, but one was a vulgar powder, while the other was fresh and refined.

With such a look at such an age, she will definitely be a beautiful woman with a reputation in the future.

The two of them were led by the manager to the VIP seat, which was exactly at an angle to the position of the sky, and the sky could clearly see them. Looking at the other empty chair in the VIP seat, Qingkong shook his head and collapsed on the chair, that person should not come, he already knew.

The manager arranged for the two VIPs to sit before they walked to the middle of the booth, and everyone was in good spirits, because the "main event" was about to begin.

"I apologize to everyone on behalf of Willy Restaurant. But the auction will definitely make everyone feel that the wait is worth it, because this auction is different from the past......" The manager was very appetizing, smiled mysteriously, and paused.

"What's the difference, you say!" a fat man with a full face who sat in the second row of VIP seats couldn't help but shout loudly.

The manager seemed to want to achieve this effect, and smiled: "Don't worry, this VIP, as the saying goes, good things are slow." This auction has a theme, that is, the feast of elves, and all the auction items in this auction are related to elves. ”

"Elves?!"

The manager's words caused the hall to explode, and as soon as people heard that the elves' eyes seemed to be able to breathe fire, even Qingkong unconsciously straightened his back.

Seeing that everyone was in good spirits, the manager smiled and reached out to pat it a few times, and the two maids walked up to the booth, holding a box covered with a golden silk scarf in their hands, and carefully placed it on the table in the middle of the booth.

The steward smiled mysteriously and uncovered the silk scarf that covered it, a transparent box with only a green pocket inside.

You don't know what it is, but it's not unusual to be able to put it up for auction here.

"The name of this first auction item is the Elven Pocket, and it is a pocket woven by magically by an enchanter of the middle (note 1) or higher rank of the Elven clan. The manager explained the origin of the pocket.

Most of the people in the hall know that the Enchanter is a mysterious profession in the world of Dragons, and is good at applying magic to various items to enhance the use of items.

"What's special about it is that whatever you put inside, no matter if it's scorched by the fire or the cold outside, there's no damage to anything inside, and it's ......" the steward's eyes flickered for a moment, and he continued, "It can hold something a hundred times more than its own capacity, because the pocket is a space built with magic. ”

After listening to the introduction of the manager, the people in the main hall were in an uproar.

These people have a lot of money, and for security reasons, they will hold most of their money in the hands of the world's major coffers, which is safe but also requires a lot of overhead.

And this elf pocket that happened to be auctioned off would solve all their troubles, they only needed to put their own money in it, and then take care of this pocket and everything would be fine.

Although Qingkong had no interest in this pocket, he accidentally saw the green-clothed young man in front of him leaning over to the girl, as if he intended to take down this pocket, and he was slightly unhappy in his heart. "Hmph, it's amazing to be rich......"

"Hey, Xiaokong, do you think this thing is so amazing? If that's the case, hehe, put dozens of roast suckling pigs in it, and eat them wherever you go. The fat golden man swallowed as he spoke.

"Such a precious thing, you only think about roasting suckling pig, it's really a ......" For a while, Qingkong couldn't find the words to describe Jin Ming.

"Ahem...... cough ......" The manager coughed lightly a few times and continued: "Of course, good things must have a good price, starting with 30,000 gold coins, start." ”

"......"

Many people know that this pocket should be very expensive, but they didn't expect that the starting price of just one will reach 30,000 gold coins.

"It's really enough for a lion to open his mouth, a broken pocket costs 30,000 gold coins, you must know that this 30,000 gold is enough for an ordinary person to have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime......" Qingkong was also a little surprised when he heard the offer, and looked at the girl in green intentionally or unintentionally, but her face was still cold and frosty, and the young man in green was flattering, as if the pocket was already in the bag.

"Thirty thousand. The voice was silent for a moment, and a noble lady in the front row raised her arm full of jewelry slightly and said delicately.

"Thirty-one thousand gold. ”

With the "early bird", the sound of price increase in the back is endless.

"Thirty-four thousand gold. ”

“......”

In just a few rounds of bidding, the broken pocket in Qingkong's mouth has reached 40,000 gold, and the young man in green has not bid once during this period.

Forty thousand gold seems to be the biggest offer for this pocket by the rich businessmen, and no one wants to pay any higher. The manager also seemed to be satisfied with the price and began to prepare to call for a deal.

"Fifty thousand. ”

As expected, the crisp voice of the young man in green shocked everyone, and they bid for more than ten minutes, but the young man caught up with him once.

The chief manager's eyes were almost bent to the sky with a smile at this time, and seeing that no one was willing to pay more than 50,000 yuan, he hurriedly shouted: "Fifty thousand gold coins are sold, this magic pocket is yours, Young Master Mu Lun." ”

Hearing this name, Qingkong's long eyelashes trembled slightly, this shepherd's surname is generally a nobleman in the capital of Mu, could it be that he is ...... Oh, no wonder he's so rich.

Although Qingkong would squander a few hundred gold coins a month, it was so easy to take out 50,000 expressions at once, he couldn't do it.

Mu Lun took the elven bag from the steward's hand.

From his position, he could see the pocket in Mu Lun's hand, it was the size of a small women's handbag, and the appearance of the pocket exuded a faint green glow, it was hard to imagine that such a small thing could hold a carriage of gold coins.

Mu Lun's face was filled with a smile of victory, like a brave knight who had killed a beast. The elf pocket didn't linger long in his hand, and he handed it to the girl in green.

After receiving the gift, the girl's iceberg-like face finally barely pulled out a smile, but this moment of smile made Qingkong stunned for a few seconds.

Perhaps sensing something, the girl suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction of the sky. Caught off guard, he immediately looked away, put his hands behind his head, and looked around casually.

"How could she feel my gaze...... Could it be that she has cultivated some sense ability?"

The girl in green looked back suspiciously, and thought, "What's wrong today?" ”

"Let's move on to the second lot ......"

But the girl was a little puzzled and turned back, it was too normal for her to get noticed by others wherever she went. Shaking his head, he continued to look at the next auction item intently, and Qingkong breathed a sigh of relief......

The auction was in full swing, and there were a lot of things that made Qing Kong's heart move, what elf cloak, elf ring...... But Qingkong was "shy in his pocket", the starting price of these things ranged from a few thousand gold coins to tens of thousands of gold coins, and the sum of his and the fat man's money was only more than two thousand gold coins.

On the other hand, Mu Lun hadn't bought anything since he bought the elf pocket, and seemed to be waiting for the final auction item, because every auction would have a finale lot.

Finally, after auctioning off an item, the manager walked to the center of the booth, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"Everyone, friends who are familiar with our auction process, know that the previous auction items are just some appetizers, and our last auction item is the real feast. ”

After the manager finished speaking, he clapped his hands vigorously, and saw several strong men walking in carrying a crystal cabinet.

The golden silk scarf was still covered with it, and surprisingly, when they put the crystal cabinet on the booth, there was a burst of cold air on the crystal cabinet.
