Chapter 188: Auction

The Turman Empire had countless nobles, perhaps for their outstanding performance in a border conflict, and was elected a meritorious hero, and the Empire awarded a knighthood. Perhaps because of an invention that has advanced technology in a certain field, in an empire that has placed more and more emphasis on science and research, it can also earn the title of lord.

In the upper range, there is not much difference between barons and viscounts, and the nobles at this stage are often the last nobles after the succession of some counts and even marquis from generation to generation, and the number is extremely large in the empire, and it is precisely because of the reduced inheritance that the central government does not mind a large number of feudal magnates when necessary.

In addition to the bottom of these three nobles, the earls and marquis are the middle part of the ruling class, and many of them in this part are fortunate ministers, or the heirs of a great noble patriarch who are loved but have no ability to integrate, are kicked out of the family, and a knighthood is still left to him. In addition, if you want to climb to the rank of earl or marquis, you can only do it through military exploits or outstanding contributions to the empire.

Above this is the top of the pyramid of the ruling class of the Turman Empire, which is composed of hereditary nobles and lords, who can be said to be the real masters of the Turman Empire and control all aspects of the empire.

The one who came to meet Rosie was an ordinary marquis, and this marquis Rosie also knew.

His father, Lubing Otlekin, was one of the generals of the Imperial Military Headquarters, and was a typical artillery maniac with the more positive nickname "Shining Golden Light". This guy's life is quite legendary, in the early days Lu soldiers served in a certain army on the border, and he formed a deep relationship with artillery when he first went to the battlefield. At that time, he became the deputy commander of the opponent's front line in the first artillery, and reported to the military department for this credit, and was specially promoted to squad leader.

In many battles and wars that followed, he was always known for his high hits, and he was also the legendary guy who was lucky to the limit, always able to blow up the enemy's small bosses. As he progressed through the ranks, his artillery sensibilities and tactical thinking began to shine, and he took out more enemies in several important border clashes with minimal damage, including a warlord in the Republic.

His path to promotion can be said to be a smooth progress, and he can always blow up a person who is right enough at the right time to bring the right credit for his promotion.

Some people think that Lu Bing can become the general of the headquarters and sit in the central government purely by luck, if it weren't for his luck enough to defy the sky, maybe he is still brushing the cannon at the grassroots level of the army. But there are also those who think that this is what makes him really good, that his artillery is accurate enough, and that he is lucky.

But all in all, Cyril's father was an amazing general.

In the previous coup d'Γ©tat, Lu Bing was biased towards the royal family, after all, his position as a general and the title of marquis were given to him by the old emperor. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed, the old emperor not only died, but the eldest prince and the eldest princess, who were originally not noticeable, suddenly appeared. It stands to reason that he should fall to the eldest prince or the eldest princess, but this general actually put all his wealth on Fabio and won the final victory.

His usual luck prompted half of the generals in the military department to join Fabio's camp with him, and Fabio gave him a chance to be an heir in favor in order to reward and appease the prescient general.

He himself became a hereditary earl from a marquis, and his favorite youngest son was kicked out of the house by the title of marquis and set up on his own.

Cyril, who had set up his own door, was overjoyed, finally freed from the control of his brother and father, and was happy to be at ease. As for what to do with his descendants, he didn't think about it at all, and when his marquis was demoted to a baron, he couldn't die anymore.

When he came to the Federation this time, he just spotted a few rare collections and planned to fill his collection room, but he didn't expect to see Rosie as soon as he came.

For Rosie, the nobles of the entire imperial capital have studied it, even if they don't like him, they have to figure him out, so as not to violate Rosie's taboo in an unexplained way, you must know that in the current imperial capital hero list, Rosie is the second most popular person.

Seeing Rossi himself, how dare Cyril not come over to greet him personally?

You must know that Rosie is a hereditary marquis, one level higher than his father, it can be said that in the entire Tuhrman Empire, only the prince, the duke, and His Majesty the Emperor have the ability to suppress Rosie, and the others don't even think about it.

"Lord Rosie, I didn't expect you to come too. Cyril was in his thirties, and the girl beside him was only seventeen or eighteen, with burgundy hair, and was not a Turman. The girl, like the female companions of the nobles before, looked at the young man curiously, her eyes full of doubt.

Rossi finally had some smiles on his face, and these smiles were not for Cyril, but for Lao Tzu. Lu Bing is the general of the Imperial Military Headquarters, and in the upcoming war, he will always have a chance to show his head, and maybe the title of hereditary earl will be raised. But he still didn't stand up, just stretched out his hand and shook hands with Cyril.

"I heard that the spring and autumn auctions of the Federation are very famous, and there are many strange things, so I came to see them. Rossi didn't tell the truth, and there was no need to tell the truth.

Cyril looked like this, and he was a little smug, "You've come to the right place." Here you can buy the most precious, strange, and messy things in the entire Western world. If you have any questions, you can ask me, and I'll sit there. He pointed to a spot on the right side of the first row, "Are you alone, do you need a service person to help you bid?"

Rossi shook his head, not in the mood to continue talking, and Cyril said goodbye with interest.

When he walked around the second row to his seat and sat down, Cyril's female companion asked in a whisper, "What is the origin of this young man?" I feel that you are a little afraid of him. ”

Cyril wanted to be tough in front of his female companions, but he knew that such women were often the kind of people who couldn't keep secrets. They will use the secrets they have discovered as a means of showing off, and they will not only advertise in an extremely wide and complex circle, but only to put gold on their faces. It was absolutely no problem for him to suppress Rosie and improve himself when Rosie didn't know, but if that guy found out, maybe it would bring trouble to him, his family, and even affect his father.

Rossi is now a hot upstart in the Empire, and Fabio trusts him unconditionally, even blindly.

"Don't underestimate Lord Rosie, my father, and take the initiative to salute when you see him. This is the rule of the game brought by the strict class, no matter how good you are, how much wealth and power, as long as the other party is higher than your class, then you must bow your head.

The little girl's mouth suddenly opened wide in shock, but she knew the identity and background of this Cyril, if she was even more powerful than Cyril, could it be that young man a member of the royal family? A faint glint flashed in her eyes, since she had already given up her dignity to slap these big names, why didn't she sell herself for a better price? She looked at Rossi a few more times, and remembered him deeply in the back of her mind, maybe there will be a chance for the two to get along with each other in the future, isn't it?

With the arrival of the auctioneer, the attention of the big man turned away from Rossi's and then to the handy booklet of the lot, and began to discuss the strategy and tactics of the auction.

Don't underestimate the auction, the auction is actually a game of wits and courage. Sometimes, by surprise, you can often get a very low price for a product that should have been auctioned at a high price.

When the auction hall was full, the auctioneer, who was in his thirties with extraordinary appearance, knocked on the gavel and began to warm up.

Generally speaking, there is no completely fixed order in the auction process, and a good auctioneer will never auction items in the order of the auction book, which is the most stupid thing to do. They will adjust the order of the auction according to the reaction and enthusiasm of the bidders on the spot. Generally speaking, the first few things of the auction can often be used as the finale of the auction, in order to arouse the emotions of the bidders, expose the hidden contradictions between the bidders, and give the auctioneer an opportunity and stage to display his skills.

"The first item is the first work created by the most famous oil painter 600 years ago when he was studying the arts, and from this work it is already possible to discover the talent and aptitude of the master during his apprenticeship. Although the overall picture is a little messy, we ...... from here Over here...... , and here, it can be seen that his early style has already taken shape. This oil painting is very representative in the art category and is a rare collector's item. If anyone here is interested, you can take the stage to take a closer look. Such a work with a complete background and story, and a highly collectible value, has a starting price of 6 million federal guilders, and each increase must not be less than 300,000 federal guilders. ”

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, many people stood up and walked to the stage to verify their identity.
