Verse 152. The fifth day of the harvest

The obese man ushered Annan into a VIP seat overlooking the auction hall.

"Just tell the maid what you like." The fat man who remained humble withdrew from the VIP seat.

Annan looked around the VIP seat and sat on the goose-down sofa, and then the maid brought pastries and red wine, leaned over to reveal a piece of snow white, and stood aside with her hands. Annan's attention was not on the maid and the food, and Olmedo said not to eat strangers' food. His attention fell on the fat man in front of the auction table: "Let's welcome today's honored guest, Prince Minoan's bodyguard, Epic Mage Morrow!" The Shadow Brotherhood branch president, Hildedigin, and the Twelve Kings from the North, Annan Reeves! ”

Annan guessed that this scene was happening, and looked forward to the next development with interest.

"Master Grade Demon Iron, starting at 50 gold coins!"

Annan had seen more demon iron than all the guests of the auction house. Master Demon Iron comes from Master Demon, and it costs 5 gold to sell from Snow Mountain Fortress to Breeze City, and 10 gold to sell Breeze City to merchants, but it is multiplied tenfold in the royal capital - 100 gold is the final price.

"The Scepter of the Nezumi Priest, captured from the Southern Battlefield!"

A scepter, which can only be used as loot, is also sold for 40 gold.

Next is something familiar to Annan, the Knights Armor: sold for 300 gold coins.

When the familiar appeared, the premium was at least more than 20 percent, and Annan realized the reason why he was sitting in the VIP seat - these nobles were showing off how rich they were.

Annan in the VIP seat and the fat man in the background laughed at the same time.

Annan had heard from Olmedo the "naΓ―ve perception" of the aristocracy: the aristocracy would form circles of interest, and they would be both cooperative and hostile, both intermarriage and framing each other, like the proverb "I am against my own brother". And when Annan, an outsider, appeared, his brothers and cousins joined forces and unanimously went out to the outside world - if Annan participated in the auction, the Knights' armor might sell for 500 gold coins.

It's stupid, but the nobility maintains a cohesive way of survival.

If there are still elders in the Reeves family, the eldest sister and the second sister will marry the big family, and Levi Reeves, as the heir, is no exception.

So do you have a marriage contract with "yourself"?

As Annan was in his reverie, a human-sized statue of the goddess of wealth was brought to the auction table.

The statue draped in a golden veil and the compassion of the church are different and beautiful, vivid and beautiful. The gods are regarded as supreme and do not dare to blaspheme. The same is true for the believers of the Church of Wealth, but at the same time the gold coin is the symbol of the Goddess of Wealth, so the Goddess of Wealth allows her followers to buy and sell everything with money - according to the official version, the Goddess of Wealth believers have a strong atmosphere of trade.

Most of the followers of the goddess of wealth are merchants, and they are also on par with money, as long as they have money, they can even buy the first night of the saint.

And the reason why the goddess of wealth keeps order and non-chaos is also very simple - wealth only grows in the soil of order, and I have not heard that the demon has to give money to buy things.

"Statue of the Goddess of Fortune, starting at 30 gold coins."

There was also a statue in Olmedo's office, and thinking that she seemed to be a shallow believer in the goddess of wealth, Annan tried to get the maid to bid for 50 gold coins. It's just right to take it back and give it to Olmedo as a gift, forget it if it's too expensive.

Annan's first bid made waves at the auction, and then a young nobleman stood up and looked defiantly at the VIP seat where Annan was: "Fifty-one gold." ”

"One hundred gold coins." One more Kim Annan can't afford it.

"One hundred and one gold, no matter how much he asks, I will have one more gold coin than him." The words of the young nobleman sparked cheers of support.

Annan, who still wanted to give up, asked tentatively: "One hundred and fifty gold coins." ”

"One hundred and fifty-one gold!"

"Two hundred gold coins."

"Two hundred and one gold!"

"Two hundred and fifty gold coins."

"Two hundred and fifty-one gold!"

"Five hundred gold coins."

"Five hundred and one gold!"

Annan sighed with emotion worthy of being a nobleman in the royal capital, and a nobleman who couldn't sit in the VIP seat could get two hundred jinnars, so that the maid whose chest was rising and falling excitedly didn't have to shout anymore.

The young nobleman bought a statue of the goddess of wealth for 501 kinnars. When he sobered up from the praise around him and realized what was happening, he hated Annan very much - but he had to stand in line.

"What happens if I can't afford it?" Annan asked the maid.

"I have to pay liquidated damages to the auction house, and I and my family members will not be able to participate in the black gold auction for a period of time."

Aunt Susan beats Martin with a broom, will the nobles of the royal capital use a gold broom to beat their son?

Annan did not participate in the next auction, and asked the maid to take him to the fat man, ask the shipper of the statue of the goddess of wealth, and then find him.

"I only have one statue, and even if I had, I wouldn't sell it to you." Basil Lehmann, the baron with a few shops in the outer city, made no secret of his rejection of Annan.

"Divide me."

"What?"

Annan said gently: "If you don't divide it, I will tell the unlucky guy who spent five hundred and one gold, and you and I cooperated to defraud him of his money." ”

Baron Lyman's eyes widened suddenly: "...... How dare you! I didn't work with you, and I don't know you? ”

"Who believes? But the owner of the black gold auction house personally sent me to you. Annan whispered, "Unless you're going to return the gold coins to prove your innocence...... But this does not seem to be in line with the teachings of the Church of Wealth. ”

Baron Lyman was jealous and unfortunate and threw a money bag to Annan. "Take yours, quickβ€”" He rolled back and said, "Don't tell anyone...... Even if you tell them, they won't believe it! ”

Annan flipped the money bag, and Princess Bils gave half the light, and there should be thirty to forty gold coins.

"I want half."

"It can't be!" Baron Lyman seemed to have half of his soul torn off, "If you entangle me again, I will go to the city guards......"

Annan imitated the centurion's playful tone: "I scolded four legends on the day I first came, and the Eighth Holy Grail Knight and the legendary mage jointly invited me to come, why do you think that I will be afraid of a group of city guards?" ”

Baron Lyman's guts were torn off in half again.

"501 gold coins, I don't want that 1 gold coin." Annan said benevolently. Replaced by the blue dragon Elimoas, even if the parents came, they had to take out 50 silver coins. "You still have 251 gold...... It's just a statue, how many years do you have to open a store to earn all that money back? ”

Baron Lyman's face turned pale and muttered, "I don't have that much money...... Is an IOU OK? ”

"Of course."

Borrowing paper and pen from the auction house to write down the IOU, Baron Lyman's face gradually recovered, and he climbed into anger: "Satisfied? ”

"It's a pleasure to work with." Annan put away the IOU.

250 kinnar. Add Princess Sayles' 100 kinnars for a five-day income of 350 kinnars – more tomorrow.

When I went out, I met the fat boss again.

"The auction house is a good place, but it's a pity that I didn't bring much money...... "Annan said regretfully.

"It's okay, so how about tomorrow? I'll have my men ready for the treasure. ”

Annan and the fat man looked at each other and smiled, and the pleasant sound of gold coins colliding built a bridge of friendship between them.
