With the passage of time, there are more and more people in the hall, and gradually it begins to be lively, in addition to those flower-wearing butterfly-like warblers and swallows, there are occasionally a few handsome and dashing aristocratic sons shuttling among them, of course, the purpose of these noble sons here is not a moonlight perfume, but a hunt. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

From time to time, there were girls or noblewomen who walked past Hillest, and a few of the more daring ones even cast warm eyes on this blonde, blue-eyed, handsome man, but Hilleste did not make any response except for a smile in return, if it was usual, Hilleste would have used the charm to hug the beauty home, but today, absolutely not.

With a crisp sound of the bell, an elven girl in a floor-length dress stood on the stage and rang the small bell at hand, which meant that the auction had begun.

Celeste glanced at the door out of the corner of his eye, but there was still no trace of Eva, and he couldn't help but shrink in his heart, couldn't help but shrink in his heart, couldn't help but grasp the handrail tightly with his fingers.

Celeste's every move fell into the eyes of others, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Gail's mouth, leaning over, and said naturally: "Young master, the auction has just begun, hasn't it?"

Celeste was stunned, and glanced at Gale gratefully, but he was not as nervous as he was just now, one hand supported his chin, and the other hand was gently resting on the armrest, and his slender fingers were tapping again and again, looking very leisurely. But Celeste smiled bitterly in his heart, he hadn't been so nervous for several years, right? It's always the case that once something becomes important to you, even a small change in the matter can become extraordinarily exciting.

Celeste suddenly remembered what his father had said to him: "The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." Maybe it's because I'm too concerned about the follow-up of this matter, what's the use of thinking so much? Whether the dragon slayer can help him or not is still unknown, as long as he does what he should do, it's enough. As for what will happen in the future, we can only wait and see what happens.

Thinking of this, Celeste's mentality immediately became different, no longer had the kind of mind of gain and loss, but regained the self-confidence in the past, although Eva still did not appear at this time, but Celeste deeply understood the degree of obsession with women with moonshine perfume.

You're going to show up, my darling!" said Celeste silently in his heart.

The atmosphere in the hall was getting more and more enthusiastic, and eight bottles of moonshine perfume had been auctioned off, among which Celeste had also held up several signs, but none of them had been grabbed.

There were only two bottles left, and although Celeste remained calm, his heart grew heavier.

"Three thousand gold coins! for the first time!" the elf girl standing on the stage raised the small hammer in her hand.

"Three thousand one!" a gorgeous woman who had just arrived offered.

"Three thousand two!" another woman held up her card.

"Four thousand!" the gorgeous woman seemed to be bound to win.

At this moment, a man in a cloak with an unclear face walked into the hall, but it was obvious from the figure that it was a woman, and that she was in excellent shape. An elven girl greeted her, checked the man's invitation, and then silently retreated.

"Five thousand!" the flamboyant woman held up the sign in her hand, and glanced at her rival with a slight contempt.

There was silence over there, apparently reluctant to throw any more money into it.

"Five thousand for the first time!" shouted the elven girl on the stage.

No one in the audience answered, and the gorgeous woman raised her head proudly.

"Five thousand for the second time!"

"Six thousand!" the woman in the cloak suddenly raised her card.

There was an uproar in the audience, you must know that this is just a bottle of perfume, the previous eight bottles were sold for five thousand seven, and this time someone actually shouted six thousand directly.

"Seven thousand!!" the gorgeous woman's face became a little hideous, as if she couldn't bear the challenge of others.

The audience immediately began to discuss, "This is outrageous, isn't it?Spend so much money on a bottle of perfume?" "What do you know?I heard that she is the head of the Mercenary Guild and Lawrence's lover......"

The cloaked man's face was hidden in the darkness, and her expression could not be seen, but it was clear that she had heard the discussions, and hesitated for a moment to finally not raise the sign in her hand again.

The gorgeous woman got her wish and got the moonlight perfume, and when she was about to go out, she glanced demonstratively at the woman in the cloak.

"Last bottle of moonshine perfume!

So the people holding the sign below began to be enthusiastic again, knowing that this is the last bottle, and if you don't buy it, you can only wait until today next month.

Celeste looked around, and there was no sign of Eva, so he set his eyes on the woman in the cloak, and if Eva must be in this hall, then it could only be this person.

"Is she?" asked Gail in Celeste's ear, for it was very unusual for someone to cover her face at night, and there must be some special reason for her to do so.

Celeste shook his head slowly, "It may or may not be. ”

Gail was stunned: "What then?"

Celeste sighed: "I can only gamble!" He can only bet that this woman is Eva, because the dragon slayer simply won't have the patience to wait until next month's auction, then he Celeste will be a playboy of no use to others, and he won't have the face to ask for the dragon slayer's help again.

"Three thousand!" a young girl snuggled up to a nobleman raised a card

"Four thousand!" the cloak woman held up the sign again.

The people below took a breath at the same time, you must know that not everyone can have a lover of this grade as the head of the mercenary guild, looking at the posture of this mysterious woman, and the tendency to increase further, it is estimated that she gave up just now, and she also knew that her financial resources could not compare to that gorgeous woman no matter what.

"Four thousand five!" said Celeste smiled and held up the sign.

"Five thousand!" The woman in the cloak is Eva, at this moment her heart is full of anger, in the past it was possible to shoot it for about five thousand gold coins, but I didn't expect that it was late today, there were only the last two bottles left, and everyone knew that the more it was in the end, the more fierce the competition would be. Eva did retreat just now, because Eva once saw the woman lift to 10,000, 10,000 gold coins to buy moonshine perfume, that time was the most glorious moment in the history of the transaction of moonshine perfume, Eva asked herself if she had no capital to fight with that crazy woman, people's money was given by men, and her own money was exchanged with her brother for blood and sweat.

"Five thousand five!" "Since you want to gamble, then bet thoroughly, Celeste thought bitterly in his heart, either he can get a chance to turn over, or he will be destitute and continue to live and dream of death.

"Six thousand!!" Eva gritted her teeth, this is the highest price she can offer, no matter how high it is, she can't explain it to her brother when she goes back, this is an extraordinary time, if this money is exchanged for magic crystals, the brother and sister may be able to have a little more hope of survival.

"Six-and-a-half!!" Celeste was still smiling, as if the money was not his own.

The audience fell into complete silence, including Eva.

"Six thousand five for the first time!"

"Six thousand five for the second time!"

"Six thousand five for the third time!"

"Congratulations to this gentleman, this bottle of moonlight perfume belongs to you!" The elf on the stage turned crimson with excitement, and six thousand five hundred gold coins were definitely a result that could make people stunned.

After paying the gold coins and getting the perfume, Celeste and Gail and the others walked out, and at this time, the woman in the cloak happened to come from the side, and just when the two were close enough to reach each other, Celeste suddenly ' Oops, as if tripping over something, his body fell in the direction of the woman, his left hand danced weakly in the air, as if he was about to grasp something, and it happened to cross the cloak that the woman covered her head, and Celeste's fingers were lightly hooked, and the woman's cloak fell, and Gail also stepped forward in time to support Celeste's crooked body, which did not let him fall firmly to the ground.

"What are you doing?!" the woman asked, turning sharply, in an angry voice.

Celeste looked frightened and stood up straight with Gael's help, and glanced at it from the corner of his eye, it was really Eva......!

At this, Celeste suddenly opened her mouth wide and stared at Eva in amazement, as if she had seen something incredible.

"What's so nice?!" Eva was furious, first the last bottle of moonshine perfume was snatched by this guy, and then almost hit herself, if it wasn't for Lonely Cliff City, Ava would have been blasted over by a big fireball.

"You...... You...... Impossible, impossible!Bernice ...... Bernice you are not dead?" said Celeste, in a pale and incoherent trembling voice.

"Am I dreaming? Tell me! Am I dreaming?" Celeste, who had no aristocratic demeanor at the moment, grabbed Gale with his backhand and kept asking.

Gail's eyes flashed, he already understood Celeste's intentions, and laughed secretly in his heart, although this kid was a little breathless, but his reaction was quite fast.

"Young Master, don't do this, Bernice is already dead!" Gail said sadly, and then bowed to Eva, "Please forgive my young master for being rude, it is really ...... It's really because you look too similar to the young master's fiancée. ”

Eva's anger gradually subsided, seeing the blonde young man's stupid appearance opposite, you can know how deep his love for his fiancée is, a woman's heart, there is always a soft string, now Eva feels that there is a place in her heart that has been plucked, and then look at this reckless young man, but it is not as annoying as before.

The mentality is different, the perspective of looking at the same thing will change, and now Eva doesn't hate Celeste so much, and at this time, she actually finds that this blonde young man is not ordinary handsome, to be precise, much more handsome than all the men Eva has ever experienced.

"yes...... Bernice is dead, and she will never come back......" Celeste sobered up from her obsession, and said in a bleak tone, bending deeply towards Eva, "I'm really sorry, I hope you can forgive me for being abrupt." ”

After speaking, no matter how Eva reacted, he turned around and walked away in despair, and before leaving, he also glanced deeply at Eva, complaining, reluctant, confused, and heartbroken, all kinds of emotions were vividly expressed in Celeste's eyes.

Looking at the lonely back, Eva's heart trembled for no reason, and she almost wanted to keep it, she didn't know why she had such a ridiculous idea, but this idea was so real in her heart at this moment.

Suddenly, Celeste stopped, reflexively walked back to Eva, took out the bottle of moonshine perfume that had just been photographed from his arms, and handed it to Eva with both hands: "Can you accept my apology?"

Eva was stunned: "But...... Didn't you just buy it?"

"I don't need it anymore. Celeste shook her head, a deep sadness condensed between her brows, "Bernice loves this perfume the most, but she's gone, and she'll never come back." ”

Eva finally understood that this man came here to commemorate his deceased wife and bought this bottle of perfume at any cost, looking at the brows of the blonde young man in front of him, Eva couldn't help but feel distressed and wanted to reach out to soothe the sadness.

"Don't you accept it?" Celeste shook his head in disappointment, "I really don't mean anything else, please forgive me for being rude, you look like Bernice...... It's so similar, exactly the same, please take it, for my Bernice. ”

Eva finally couldn't help but speak, "If Bernice is still here, I don't want to see you sad now. ”

Celeste's eyes lit up, "So you agree to take it?"

Eva smiled bitterly and took the moonshine perfume: "Can I refuse?"

"Thank you. As if he had finally fulfilled a long-cherished wish, he let out a long breath: "Your beauty is like a bright moon, which eclipses the brilliant starry sky, and I sincerely wish you a good home." After saying that, he walked out with Gael and the others without looking back.

"Wait!" Eva subconsciously shouted.

Celeste stopped and turned around, looking at Eva with some strange eyes: "What's the matter?

"I ......" Eva suddenly didn't know what to say, and she didn't know why she had just shouted that sentence.

Celeste stood silently, waiting for Eva to speak, not at all impatient.

"I ...... I mean, you haven't said thank you for giving me such a valuable gift. "Eva has finally found an excellent excuse.

Celeste smiled, smiling warmly, "No matter how expensive perfume is, it is just an embellishment on your body, you don't have to care." ”

"Originally...... I should have invited you to my house to sit down, but ...... There are some troubles at home these days, and it is really inconvenient for you to go, I hope you don't mind. Eva said a little embarrassed, it is reasonable to accept such a valuable gift, and you should also make an invitation out of minimum politeness, even if it is a simple dinner.

The news of the dragon slayer's return to Lonely Cliff City, Manteqiu and Eva have known for a long time, originally Manteqiu was opposed to Eva coming out to show up today, but Eva's obsession with moonlight perfume has reached a certain level, for her, without moonlight perfume, it is simply better to live than to die. In the end, Manteqiu couldn't resist Eva, so he had to allow her to come out, but because there were many more people who knew him Manteqiu in Lonely Cliff City than Eva, Manteqiu didn't dare to appear, so she could only tell Eva repeatedly before leaving to pay attention to hiding herself.

Eva did do it carefully, always covering her face with a cloak, and when Celeste touched her cloak, Eva was still full of vigilance against the blond young man, until Celeste wanted to give her the moonlight perfume, Eva still did not let down her guard, as long as Celeste showed that she wanted to take the opportunity to approach her, Eva would definitely refuse to be thousands of miles away.

On the contrary, after Eva took the perfume, Celeste turned away without a trace of hesitation, and at this time, Eva finally let down her vigilance, this blonde young man really only wanted to give the perfume to her, for the sake of his deceased fiancée, not to the detriment of himself.

"Trouble?" asked Celeste, surprised, "is there anything I can do for you?"

Eva smiled, shook her head and said, "I understand your kindness, but this matter is ...... IMHO, it's not something that ordinary people can solve. Seeing the uncertain look on Celeste's face, Eva hurriedly added, "I don't mean to look down on you, but this matter is really ...... With your strength, it's better not to get involved. ”

Celeste glanced at Eva deeply: "It's my honor to be able to serve you, as for ......" Celeste paused, and said with a smile: "You know my strength?

Gail said softly: "Here, young master, this is just a group of little mercenaries running around for a living. ”

Eva's face changed slightly, she was a little disgusted, although the other party's tone was very gentle, and her expression was also plain, but that kind of vision maintained a top-down angle, little mercenary? Eva sneered in her heart, the dragon slayer was also a mercenary, I don't know if the old man in front of the dragon slayer in front of him dared to speak like this?!

At that moment, the crowd suddenly became quiet, and a group of elves rushed out of the back hall and walked straight in the direction of Celeste. The head of the elf is very ugly, the beautiful elf is not unusual, but the ugly elf is very rare, but her ugliness is completely acquired, a diagonal scar extends from her forehead to the cheek, through her left eye, her right eye is as green and clear as a lake, while the left eye is a strange, hollow pale, no pupils, making people feel numb when they look at it. There was a large patch of scarlet on the right side of her face, and she could even clearly see the twisted and throbbing muscles and blood vessels, which should have been a terrible scar because someone had forcibly torn off a large piece of the muscles on her face, and it was not treated in time.

It's just that her expression was very calm, as if she didn't know her ugliness at all, she slowly walked up to Celeste and bowed: "Young Master Ende, our elders want to see you, may I ask ......?"

"I'm in a bad mood right now, let's do that another day. Before the elf could finish speaking, Celeste interrupted him very rudely.

"Excuse me. The elf was not annoyed by the rejection, and her gaze fell on Gail again, and she whispered, "Hello. ”

"Hello. "Gale is the chief salute in return.

"Please say hello to you on my behalf. The elf smiled.

Eva's face changed drastically, in fact, the elves set the rules very harshly, only selling ten bottles of moonshine perfume every month, encouraging people to compete with each other to make the most profit from it, no one is stupid, so, many people are dissatisfied with this, once someone because of the failure of the auction, venting their anger on the elves, but soon they found out that they were wrong, wrong.

It is said that Lydia was a tenth-order ranger one hundred and fifty years ago, and her current strength is even more unfathomable, in the battle with Crow City, Lydia is a powerful pillar that Wild Willow City relies on to fight against Zagunade, and what is even more terrifying is that in the past hundred years, Lydia has experienced countless battles, and has already been refined into a solid surname in the ruthless war, which really angers her, and her methods are even more decisive than the brutal Zagunade.

Who deserves to be invited by the elf Lydia herself? Eva stared at Celeste blankly, unable to make a sound.

A young nobleman with poor strength, but he is followed by a strong man who can make Lydia pay attention to, and the two guards behind the other party also have incomprehensible strength, there is no doubt that Eva can already be sure that the young man in front of him is the heir to a large family, otherwise this situation cannot be explained.

If you can get their help...... Eva hesitated, but after weighing it for a long time, she decided to go back and discuss it with her brother first.

"Young Master, the elders of Yeliu City want to see you...... I think it's better to see each other, or I'......ll go back," said the Gir, the chief of Gail, gazing at the elf's back, and whispered.

"I said, I'm in a bad mood right now. "Celeste seems to have a Ren surname, which, of course, is a sign of immaturity, and immaturity often means easy to take advantage of.

Eva bit her lip, she finally made her decision......
