Chapter 84: The Auction (I)
While Wang Feng accepted the task, a figure seemed to pass by a mansion casually. 【Reading Network】Looking left and right, there was no one, and the figure quickly disappeared into one of the courtyards.
Noticeably different from the laid-back environment outside, the courtyard was tense and heavily guarded, and the entire courtyard was shrouded in a large magical barrier. As soon as the man entered the courtyard, he was greeted by someone. After confirming the identity, this is the only way to retreat.
I don't know how many weights the yard is divided into. The man entered from one to the other, turning at least three courtyards before reaching his destination.
Along the way, I don't know how to pass a few sniper archers in the dark, and when I got here, the man let out a long breath. He said to a man who was waiting for him in the courtyard, "I have something urgent to report." ”
The people in the room did not speak for a long time after hearing what the man had reported. After letting the man back down, the people in the room finally showed a young face. After looking at the scenery outside the window for a long time, he suddenly said, "What do you think?"
"If it weren't for the dragons, it must be the dragoons. Without warning, a voice appeared.
Nodding, the young man said, "I think so too, it seems that this auction is not simple! There will be at least a dragoon who appears as a mercenary." Arrange to check their identities. ”
The voice meekly replied, "Yes!" and there was no more sound.
The young man put his hands behind his back, looked at the sky, smiled and said to himself: "It seems that you have come to the right place, there are really interesting things!"
The same scenario is being repeated in at least three places. Wang Feng, who was the main target, didn't notice it at all.
Now that he has entered the Heavenly City, of course he will not go out and wait for the auction to start. However, in the Heavenly City, it is relatively easy for Wang Feng to find a place to live. No, a group of forbidden troops on the other side is walking towards them, and the first one doesn't need to ask, Chuck yes too.
After Wang Feng entered the city, someone naturally informed Chuck. Chuck didn't say anything, and directly brought someone to greet the boss.
Wang Feng of the Marshal's Mansion has been here a few times, and he is still used to living like this.
In the evening, Aisha, who heard the news, also ran over. When I met the boss, I was naturally happy again.
Tomorrow morning, it will be the time for the auction.
Early in the morning, everyone gathered at the Marshal's Mansion, but the original five people had now become seven. Aisha, who loves to be lively, joined, and naturally, Chuck also joined the team.
With the status of Chuck and Aisha, and Wang Feng was originally the provider of the artifact, the few VIP boxes in the auction hall immediately prepared one. The reception staff of the auction hall respectfully invited them to come in and sit down, and after a while, the fat old man appeared in front of them.
It is estimated that the fat old man is also auctioning such an artifact for the first time, and his expression is not as relaxed as when he saw him.
came over and played a big haha, the fat old man showed a professional face on his face, and said to Wang Feng: "Young Master Chuck and Captain Wang Feng are here." There are a lot of unexpected people to participate today, and it seems that the temptation of the artifact is high!" With a look of anticipation, it seems that he has underestimated the temptation of the artifact a lot today.
As the behind-the-scenes boss of the auction house, Fat Lao doesn't have to participate in the previous arrangements.
Chuck may be used to being casual in these places, and asked the fat old man directly: "Fat old man, which ones do you think are most likely to bid? Who has the greatest chance?"
The fat old man narrowed his almost small eyes, which had been set off by his big face, and after thinking for a while, he said more firmly: "The most likely to bid, the price that can be offered, it is estimated that only the people in the VIP room next to him are the people." ”
"Oh!" Chuck is now behaving like half of his master, and he directly covers all the questions: "Who are the people next to you?" There was a cold glint in his eyes.
Shaking his hand, the fat old man obviously noticed Chuck's eyes, and said relaxedly: "Don't be nervous, Master Chuck, there are no people from the emperor's side, just rest assured." ”
The VIP room is estimated to have some soundproof system, and after coming in for such a long time, it is basically impossible to hear the sound outside. Therefore, no matter how loud they speak inside, there will not be a trace of words coming out.
The fat old man's words made Wang Feng feel that Generalissimo Norton may have given a strict order to those military bigwigs this time, not to participate in the auction of the artifact, I don't know how many other countries are?
Turning his head to look at the mage who was following, he gently asked the fat elder, "Are there any heavyweights from other empires to participate?"
Hehe laughed a few times, and the fat old man said conceitedly: "The auction in Tiancheng has always been the highest-level auction on the big 6, especially this time there are two complete sets of artifacts, how can it be that those dignitaries on the big 6 don't participate." ”
Pointing to the wall next to him, the fat old man continued: "The rooms next to you are the royal representatives of the major empires. ”
Wang Feng was stunned for a moment, didn't he say that the major empires would not send representatives of the royal family?
looked at the two mages behind them, and the faces of the two mages did not change for a moment. Wang Feng thought about it carefully and understood the mystery inside. If the five empires want to bait the Aeolus Empire, they will naturally send some people to make a show. It is estimated that he will pretend to compete with the prince of the Fengshen Empire for a few rounds, and he is not afraid that he will not be fooled.
This fat old man should not know Wang Feng's marquis identity, so just with Chuck's identity, it is not enough to enjoy the same treatment as these representatives of the royal family. It seems that this VIP room should have been specially arranged by the fat old man for himself.
Yes, there is also a content in this auction that is the method of identifying the owner of the artifact. At present, except for the royal family of the Vulcan Empire, it seems that only he knows, and it should be this reason that Wang Feng enjoys the highest enjoyment here.
The publicity of this auction has put a lot of effort into it, and in just a few months, it has been notified to major cities in each country of the Big 6.
Listening to the introduction of the fat elder, in addition to the royal representatives of various countries, the other participants also included some high-ranking and powerful representatives of the major empires, in addition, some large families also sent representatives to participate, and there were some giants who came after hearing the news. The popularity is very high.
However, the fat old man still complained to Wang Feng a little.
Wang Feng left the artifact last time and left, but it made the people in the auction hall frightened all day long. Because the auction items are so valuable, it is impossible for the auction house to ensure that the artifact is safe and sound before the auction is in full swing. Even in the well-defended Celestial City. The auction house did not dare to hire any mercenaries to defend it. What mercenary would be able to keep his sanity in the face of such an artifact?
The fat old man began to be immersed in the glory of organizing the artifact auction, and did not take this issue into account. Wait until the enthusiasm in the brain has passed, and then take into account this fatal flaw.
There is no way, if the news is revealed, the fat old man can be sure that the warehouse of valuables in the auction house will never be at peace. Thinking about this layer, the fat old man's cold sweat flowed down uncontrollably. Deng Shi understood why Wang Feng left so quickly after introducing the auction items.
However, the fat old man is the fat old man after all, and the person who can mix with the people behind the royal auction in Tiancheng is definitely not an ordinary master. Through the relationship, the fat old man actually stored the artifact in the royal treasury. At this time, absolutely no one dared to pluck the feathers on the tiger's head, and the fat old man was relieved to carry out the publicity of the artifact auction.
In this auction, in addition to the finale artifact, a lot of rare treasures were also collected. In addition, in order to set off the brilliance of the artifact, Fat Lao did not hesitate to include several secret collections that he had been treasured in the auction list. Although many people don't dare to expect to get artifacts, most of the people who come are here for the so-called 'dowry' items.
This auction is more special, no matter what kind of dignitaries and nobles, relatives of the emperor and the country, they will not report their surnames by common name when they come. Items are too precious for anyone to let anyone know they're competing, except for the princes and the rulers who don't care at all. There is no hall in the entire auction hall, and everyone is in a separate box. The guests were also very satisfied with the organizer's arrangement.
The crowd is almost there, and the auction should begin. But the fat old man didn't seem to have any desire to accompany those royal representatives, and stayed in their VIP box all the time. As the behind-the-scenes boss of the auction house, he doesn't need to worry about showing up. As long as you maintain a good relationship with the royal family, the military, and other powerful people. But this time, he didn't sell those people's face, could it be that Wang Feng's multiple identities have already appeared?
Wang Feng didn't care what the host said. There is a fat old man who is a connoisseur of the best here, and everything is much more detailed than the host's introduction. For each thing that comes out, Fat Lao always gives a detailed introduction to its function, history, origin, etc. And before the introduction, it is always possible to say the final transaction price of this item. Compared with the price of the final real transaction, it is always the same as ten.
The two mages who followed behind were also well-informed figures, and every time they said something, they had to surprise the fat old man. However, since they are magicians, they naturally have their own way to learn these things, and the fat old man will no longer make a fuss after experiencing it a few times. It's just strange that with their grade and knowledge, how could they join a mercenary group that only has one level. But when I thought about it, I was relieved. What kind of mercenary group can experience more interesting things than this mercenary group that has found the artifact twice in a few months.
Although Wang Feng assured him that the origin of the artifact was normal, the fat old man would not be stupid enough to believe this side of the story. Could it really be as Wang Feng said, it was given to him by the emperor of an empire? However, with the development of propaganda activities, no family and forces have raised objections to the ownership of the artifact, and the fat old man has gradually put his mind at ease. It doesn't matter how he gets it, as long as it's not a nuisance.
