"A targeted auction is an auction in which the law only allows items to be circulated within a certain range, so only customers with certain identities are invited.

But often, many of the things that appear at such auctions are of unknown origin, and even large auction companies dare not make them public.

Therefore, these auction houses usually only invite some special users who can be trusted, including business and political celebrities, or auction partners.

There are even some interesting items that you can only really know what the auctioned items will have until you are there in person. ”

Ange explained that he knew that Lu Mingfei did not have a lot of bidding experience.

The only time it seems to be the beginning of the game is to cut off the head of the boss behind the scenes.

Listening to Ange's introduction, Lu Mingfei took the information and began to read it.

Qing Qianlong Doucai Baoxiang floral pattern sunflower three-legged plate, Song blue and white glaze red bas-relief Qin Wang broken array Lego neck bottle.

A piece of antiques with extremely high prices below appear on the data book.

"These are regular items at Sotheby's auctions." Ange said.

"Why does the name Sotheby feel a little familiar?" Under Ange's attentive eyes, Lu Mingfei didn't think too much.

After putting the materials on the table, Lu Mingfei asked, "Principal Ange, do you want me to buy some old antiques?"

Obviously, he knew that the problem would not be so simple, but Lu Mingfei still teased him.

"Just take a look at the stuff on the materials." Ange didn't care about Lu Mingfei's ridiculous tone, he just continued to speak, "After all, what we want is not this ordinary cultural relic. ”

Lu Mingfei looked at Ange with some interest and listened to his continued explanation.

Seeing Lu Mingfei like this, Ange didn't sell it anymore:

"Let's put it this way, directional auctions are where the academy looms for treasures, and we often find obscure items here, such as a brass blowtorch of unknown age that we once sold for less than $400,000."

"This isn't your average blowtorch." Lu Mingfei asked.

"That's right, it wasn't an alcohol blowtorch as everyone at the auction house thought it was, but a weapon.

This is the work of a 19th-century alchemist, and when the blowtorch is turned sideways, it is a flamethrower.

Usually they call this kind of thing dragon breath, and the fuel is not alcohol, but refined mercury-containing nitroglycerin.

It can spew up to 20 meters of cone-shaped flames, inflict an explosive effect, and release massive amounts of mercury vapor, making it a powerful weapon against dragons.

After we put it up for the auction, according to the director of the equipment department, they got plenty of inspiration. ”

Ange gave a general overview of the auction items in the directional auction in addition to normal antiques.

"Explosions, Alchemy Items"

With his toes, Lu Mingfei could think of the scene of the equipment department at that time.

"In fact, to be precise, the customers invited to the Sotheby Directional Auction that you participated in this time are all the same existence as us, that is, half-breeds."

In the end, Ange set a nature for this directional auction, that is, an auction belonging to a mixed-race society.

"So, you ask me if I can still put on that kind of makeup that I don't recognize, just to sneak things around?"

Lu Mingfei took a sip of the freshly brewed tea and asked.

"By the way, if that's the case, wouldn't it be possible to put on some makeup?"

"First of all, we're not talking about sneaking things around." Ange corrected.

"We're just trying to get the lowest possible price for what we need, and your face is so outstanding that you need makeup to make people think that what you're bidding on isn't a good thing."

Regarding Ange's forcible explanation, Lu Mingfei was just silent.

"Secondly, the reason why I didn't go to the makeup auction and didn't let anyone else do it is because you are the leader of the next generation of secret parties that I have chosen."

"Does it matter?"

It was only at this time that Lu Mingfei really became interested.

"Because my purpose this time is not only to ask you to bid on an item that is very useful to us, but also because I want you to meet the other forces of the half-race society."

Ange didn't hide his purpose, and directly told Lu Mingfei.

"You must know that in a mixed-race society, we belong to the Secret Party, a mixed-race organization, and at the same time, it is also the largest mixed-race organization.

But we're not the only ones, there are other mixed race groups large and small, and our previous philosophies are not necessarily the same.

For example, the purpose of our secret party is to exterminate all pure-blood dragons.

But not every half-breed holds this idea, and many more are outside of this war, believing that they are a third race between humans and dragons.

Some of these families have been around for thousands of years, and their wealth and power are staggering.

It just so happens that there will be many organizations participating in this auction, and this form is also one of the ways for the mixed race forces of all parties to socialize.

So I asked you to go over not only to let you bid on the items that the academy must obtain, but also to give you a general glimpse of the other forces. ”

"Oh, by the way, the small semester of the Kassel Academy is going to start this summer, and the auction is in Chicago, so you can go back to school after you participate."

Ange thumped his hands, a look of plan.

"I remember that the semester was not the end of the month, how could it be that you said that you just went back to school?"

Ignoring what Ange said before, Lu Mingfei suddenly asked this question.

"You may not know, but in your absence, we have advanced to the twentieth." Ange replied with a smile.

"My summer vacation, that's the end of it?"

Hearing this bad news, Lu Mingfei leaned back on the chair and looked at the sky weakly.

After the second semester of the first year, I encountered a lot of troubles.

First of all, not long after the holiday, he was attacked by several knights of Solomon's Temple at Shilan Middle School.

Then there is the blockade of his hometown led by Odin and many pure-blooded dragons.

and then the death knight of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse that he encountered after he came out of the black cavity, and saved Elizabeth by the way.

Thinking back to the things he had encountered since the summer vacation, Lu Mingfei felt a burst of tears.

This summer, I don't seem to have a few days off at all!

"Okay."

After looking at the sky for three seconds, Lu Mingfei quickly accepted the reality.

"So, headmaster, what is the item I'm bidding on, can you tell me?"

"Alchemy Sword, Bronze Purgatory, Seven Deadly Sins."

Ange replied word for word.

"This is the supreme master of alchemy among the four monarchs, Norton, the Lord of Bronze and Fire, an alchemical weapon forged by BC with the power of the master of the metal and fire elements.

Its casting technology is unparalleled and is known as the pinnacle of alchemy.

This is a set of alchemical swords forged to kill the other seven primordial species of the Four Great Sovereigns, and I'm sure you've seen it too. ”

Ange reminded.

"Ugh"

Lu Mingfei was suddenly silent.

It wasn't until he heard the name of the Seven Deadly Sins that he remembered why he thought the three words Sothby were so familiar.

Isn't this the place where he commissioned Mai to auction off the Seven Deadly Sins?

It's all to blame for so many things encountered during the summer vacation, so that my memories have entered the aging in advance.

Therefore, Ange gave himself the power to bid for the seven deadly sins.

And the seven deadly sins of the auction were originally put on by themselves.

The inner ghost is actually myself?

Lu Mingfei looked at Ange with a strange expression, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed.

Originally, the news that was specially leaked to Kassel by Mai Jiude was also arranged by himself.

"How can you look at me with such pity, is there something on my face?" Ange said uncomfortably.

"No, you might be mistaken." Lu Mingfei shook his head decisively.

"How do you calculate the funds for the auction?" Lu Mingfei continued to ask.

"I asked Norma to open an account with you in a bank in Zurich, and there were two million dollars in it, which is considered a margin on the account.

As for the invitation, I'll ask Norma to make it for you tonight, and I'll do it as you do after your makeup. ”

Ange said about his arrangement.

"What if the price of the bid exceeds the deposit you deposited?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"It's okay, I'll ask Norma to transfer the money to you quickly, and don't be too distressed if it really doesn't work at that time, this is an appropriation from all members of the school board." Ange said unconcernedly.

As the principal of Kassel, he never spends his own money!

"Understood." Lu Mingfei nodded heavily, "I have taken this task!" ”

Although the funds of the school board are funded by Su Enxi, they only account for one-sixth at most, Lu Mingfei thought.

"I asked Norma to make it an A-rank mission, and you can set it off tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Ange patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder.

After a few more conversations about unnutritious topics, Ange went back to Elizabeth, with whom he was like a grandfather and grandson, for dinner.

"How's your body?"

Zero, who was wearing a maid's dress, suddenly appeared silently on the balcony of the villa, and she stared at Lu Mingfei with her ice-blue pupils.

Following the balcony light, Lu Mingfei could see the white lace on her dress.

In addition, the legs that are tightly wrapped in white stockings underneath are gently clinging to the thighs, reflecting the slenderness of the skin, like a layer of snow-white tulle.

In the moonlight, the white stockings have a subtle sheen, giving a soft and seductive feel.

This is a perfectly proportioned pair of long white silk legs.

Even though Zero doesn't look tall, his legs are really amazingly beautiful.

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

After coming back to his senses from the white silk, Lu Mingfei asked.

"Nothing, just to see if you have any disabilities during the time you've been gone."

didn't care too much about Lu Mingfei's gaze, and replied coldly.

"Are you concerned about me?" Lu Mingfei asked with a smile.

In the year of getting along with Zero, Lu Mingfei thought that he knew the girl's character better.

She seems to be as cold as an iceberg, but in fact she is, rarely interested in things, and is very polite to people, never showing displeasure.

Naturally, she doesn't have the usual stinginess and jealousy of girls.

In addition, she always has a queen aura like nothing, and has a habit of cleanliness, she will bring her own cushion when she goes to the library, and she will definitely wash her hands after reading the book, and she is called "Vacuum Queen" by girls.

This means that she can only live in a vacuum environment that is absolutely sterile.

But, unlike this, she doesn't dislike Lu Mingfei.

Whether it is the seat Lu Mingfei has sat in or the books he has used, Zero, a girl with a very serious cleanliness habit, will not care.

He even often asked Lu Mingfei to invite guests to dinner, of course, these happened when Lu Mingfei made a mistake or needed her help.

For example, when Lucia was not there, when Susie asked Lu Mingfei to help with things, he threw it to the secretary Zero to do.

Or she used a cold face to refuse the peeps of the girls for Lu Mingfei in class.

At this time, he was going to invite a meal to thank him, in fact, one meal was enough to buy this three-no girl.

Lu Mingfei himself asked why Zero had a habit of cleanliness for others but didn't dislike himself, and Zero's answer was, "You're just not dirty." ”

So in the face of the situation that Zero stood in place and did not admit it and did not oppose it, Lu Mingfei did not care.

He knew that Zero was such a girl who couldn't see any emotion.

In fact, Zero came here to be a maid just to take a look at Lu Mingfei's physical condition, and since he disappeared, she had searched for it many times in various places.

After making sure that Lu Mingfei was fine, Zero nodded to himself and said, "In the future, call me if you are in trouble." ”

After a few words of cold care, she turned around and went back without hesitation.

It's like there's no need for Lu Mingfei's response at all.

"It's so cute."

Looking at Zero's petite back, Lu Mingfei sighed from the bottom of his heart.

After drinking the tea in his hand, Lu Mingfei also returned to this birthday party of his own.

——

“TRY A WEEK WITHOUT RAILWAY！！！”

This huge white cloth hangs in the empty waiting hall of the Chicago train station.

Looking at the huge white cloth, Xia Mi suddenly felt a sense of sadness.

They flew all the way to Chicago and made a beeline for the train station, where they saw a waiting hall full of paper, placards and drink cans.

Just now, the entire Chicago Railroad Board had just finished marching, and then they all went home and wouldn't be coming back for a week.

They went on strike.

Without a trigger worker and dispatch center, the CC1000 feeder express had to be suspended, so they couldn't report on time this semester.

But although this is a natural and man-made disaster, and there will be no deduction for grade points, the cost of staying in Chicago for a week at the college will not be paid.

This made Natsumi very sad.

"Senior brother, what should we do?"

"Let's stay in Chicago for a week." Chu Zihang said lightly.

"Do you want to pitch a tent with this huge cloth?"

Xia Mi asked Chu Zihang, who was standing beside him.

After Chu Zihang changed his blood and his injuries improved, Xia Mi flew to Chicago with him.

As a reward for her care during this time, the first-class ticket money was paid by Chu Zihang.

"Let's stay in a hotel, I'll pay for the room." (End of chapter)
