Chapter Thirty-Nine: Cameron
Eddie and Cameron are waiting for Pansy at the tavern near the Duke's mansion. Seeing Pansy walking through the crowd with Aaron, Eddie snapped his fingers at the waiter, "Miss, two more glasses of Lemuel." ”
Aaron had already seen Eddie when he raised his hand. Today's Eddie is dressed a little casually, with a fluffy white coat covering his body, simple and noble, coupled with a delicate appearance, such a person is the focus of the crowd no matter where he goes. Although Razor's appearance is also good, compared with Eddie, he is more delicate and less manly.
There was also a man sitting next to Eddie, but the height was not visible, as the man was sitting there, and everyone's attention was on his huge belly. Aaron even suspected that the man's waist circumference might be longer than his height. Considering the character characteristics that Athos told him, Aaron deduced that this person was Cameron.
Seeing Aaron, Cameron made a hey sound, and the fat on his body kept shaking. Aaron didn't know if the stool under his ass could really hold up to this large piece of fat, and if it was crushed, it would probably cause a lot of shock...... Well, it would be more appropriate to say that it was an earthquake. Aaron thought about it for a moment, and changed his words in his mind.
"Boss, it's been a long time. Alas, a few days ago, my health was not good, I was a little weak, and I couldn't walk. After a month or two of recuperation, my health has improved. My dad doesn't care about me now, for fear that something will happen to me. Is the accident so good?" Cameron said to Aaron, tearing the chicken leg from his hand.
"Cameron, you really should pay attention to your body, start with losing weight. With so much meat pressed on my body, I would be surprised if you were not guilty. Aaron took the Lemuel and said to Cameron.
The smile on Cameron's face disappeared, and he looked at Aaron with a cold face, although he didn't speak, but the word "unhappy" had been written on his face without hesitation.
"Don't persuade him, I told him before, he directly used a knife on me, saying that I wanted to kill for money. I asked why, and guess what he answered? He said, I asked him to lose weight by cutting off his flesh, and this wasn't a murder for money? I was so angry that I almost kicked him twice. Now that he didn't do anything with you, he already gave you face. Eddie was not willing to be lonely and interjected.
Aaron secretly wiped his sweat, Razor's friend was really strange.
"By the way, didn't you say you're going to see some life-and-death fights, when will it start?" Aaron took a sip of Lemuel, which was somewhat similar to wine, but slightly bitter in taste, and I don't know if this wine was produced in a Lemuel place. Aaron didn't have much to do with wine, and in his world there were only two kinds of wine, which could and could not be drunk.
"It should be soon, it starts at one o'clock in the afternoon, five fights, it's really exciting. Nowadays, there are very few people willing to hold this kind of fighting tournament, and at least five slaves have to die, which is not a low cost, because it is very difficult to find strong slaves now. After five fights, an auction will take place, and the remaining five winners will also be auctioned as lots. How's that, isn't it exciting?" When Aaron mentioned the area he was very good at, Cameron immediately smiled and talked eloquently, quite instructively, and the dissatisfaction just now disappeared in an instant.
Aaron looked at the clock, it was already eleven o'clock, "How far is it from here?
"Not really, it's only half an hour away from there, and considering that today is the first day of the auction house's opening, it's estimated that it will be an hour early, hmm...... Twelve o'clock, we will not be too late to go at twelve o'clock. Now it's better to hurry up and eat something. Eh, boss, is the young man standing at the door your new subordinate, it looks pretty good, or give it to me. Cameron looked at Lan Cohen, who was standing at the door, and a lot of saliva flowed.
Aaron glanced back, Lan Wen honestly squatted and stood at the door, his face was a little red, he should be a little unable to stand the scorching sun outside.
To Cameron's question, Aaron only answered one word - get out. Eddie and Pansy couldn't help but burst out laughing and squirting their drinks.
After that, Aaron called Lan Wen over and introduced them to the three of them.
"Lan Wen, do you have an older brother or a younger brother?" Cameron asked.
Lan Wen shook her head. In front of unfamiliar people, Lan Coin is still relatively reserved.
"What do you want to do?" Aaron looked at Cameron vigilantly, thinking of the expression he had just seen Lan Wen, Aaron suddenly felt a little disgusted, "When did you have this hobby...... No, hobbies?"
"What, boss, I just want a little follower, I only like beautiful women, even the boss you can only be ranked second. Cameron, in order to defend his dignity, immediately explained.
With this scene, the atmosphere became more relaxed, and after a quick lunch, the group left the bar.
Although he was mentally prepared, Aaron still underestimated the charm of the auction. Mezld Street, which is usually extraordinarily wide, is now blocked, and it took more than ten minutes to move less than five meters. Aaron finally proposed to abandon the carriage and walk on foot, and everyone else agreed, except Cameron showed a bitter melon face.
"That's five miles away. As soon as this sentence came out of Cameron's mouth, everyone except him had already disembarked from the carriage.
"Oh, you waited for me, and I didn't say I wouldn't go. Why is this damn street so narrow?" Cameron grumbled as he got out of the carriage and chased after Aaron and the others, who were already submerged in the sea of people.
Aaron now finally knows what it means to be struggling. Caught in the flow of people, most of the time you have to go with the flow, even if you just want to change direction slightly, it becomes very difficult.
Fortunately, Lan Wen walked in front, and after squeezing out a small gap, he turned around and pulled Aaron over again. Later, Eddie is also asking where Aaron got Lan Min.
"Secret. Aaron smiled mysteriously.
After nearly an hour of hard work, the group finally squeezed out of the crowd and came to the front of the newly opened auction.
"Rare auction?" Aaron couldn't help but read aloud as he looked up at the sign. This auction seems to be very confident in itself, and I wonder what strange things this rare auction house can have?
"I'm sorry, sir. We're here today by invitation only. "One of the guards standing in the doorway stopped a man who was trying to rush in.
"Why don't you let me in? I have money, I have a lot of money. Isn't your auction house also auctioning things after all? Without us, you can only fight with the northwest wind. The man took out a money bag from his bosom and stretched it out to the guard's face, "See, I'm a customer, and the customer is a god, don't you know?"
"I'm sorry sir, but not today. There are only a limited number of seats inside, so only those invited by this auction house will be allowed to enter today. The guard apologized to the man again.
"Fart. Lao Tzu has money, why can't he go in? Hey, hey, what did you just do, let me down, do you hear? Let me down!" When the man tried to rush in again, two guards came out of the auction house, carried the man out, and threw him on the ground.
"Do you have an invitation?" Aaron looked back at Eddie and Pansy.
The brains of the two men were shaking like rattles.
"How did I have that? I didn't know until today. Eddie said.
"I've known for a long time, but as you can see, invitations aren't something money can buy. Our family is just a merchant and is not eligible for an invitation. Pansy grimaced.
It seems that there is only a matter of waiting for Cameron to come over. Aaron looked back at the surging crowd, Cameron was still squeezed into the crowd, still a dozen meters away from them. But because Cameron is very inconvenient to move, and the speed of movement is much smaller than that of the others, at the current speed, it will take at least six or seven minutes.
Cameron also noticed the gaze of Aaron and the others, and barely showed a smug smile on his pale face, and made a grimace at Aaron and Eddie, but it was quickly replaced by a painful expression.
"Lan Wen, you go pick up Cameron, or we don't know how long we'll have to wait here. ”
Lan Wen responded, like a nimble little fish, squeezing into the flow of people again.
"Razor, I'm serious, how much is this little guard of yours willing to sell to me, and I also lack such a small follower. Eddie said seriously.
"If you have the time, you might as well find one yourself. Aaron said with a smile.
"Didn't I find it? Eddie laughed.
"Then I'll give you two words - don't sell. "This time it's Aaron's turn to get serious, and he finally has someone he can trust, and he will definitely not give it away.
Just as the two of them were talking in a low voice, Aaron suddenly heard a voice behind him.
"Hey, you three, you're in my way, uncle. Really, is there such an unqualified person in a big city like Hankyo?"
Aaron, Eddie, and Pansy's attention was immediately drawn to the conversation, and they all looked back at the person who spoke. Behind the three stood a man of about fifty years of age, with his hair delicately combed back, wearing a double-breasted gown on the top and a tight-fitting half-cut underneath.
He was a little surprised that he was dressed like this, and it was not necessary for Aaron to dress so formally just to attend an auction - in fact, for Aaron, just to see a few fights.
