Chapter 0254: Auction

The hard-mouthed Upa did not resist Leo's torture in the end.

In the end, he told everything he knew about the little girl.

As a result, Upa said the news,

It's pretty much the same as what Sophia had heard before.

In addition to the unclear name,

Everything else is the same as Sophia's previous investigation.

In the end, in order to extinguish the mouth, Leo disposes of the scarred Uppa.

Maybe Upa and the others have been too noisy all along,

So much so that there was a noise of battle in the apartment of the "Magic and Warhammer" adventure team,

No one came to check it out.

In the end, until Leo and Sophia swept away the traces they left behind,

None of them found out that something had happened to the people of Magic and Warhammer.

The two sneaked back to the small hotel with a good room and changed back into their daytime clothes.

Only then did I check out of the small hotel half-covered,

Before the curfew, we returned to the Alice Hotel.

Back at the hotel, I find that Nock has not returned, but has received a message.

Only then did the two know that Nock had really solved the problem of admission tickets.

Even, Leo is still in the hotel lobby,

met with the person who delivered the message for Mrs. Mantilati,

Learned about Nock's situation at this time.

Then, after agreeing with the other party to meet the next day,

I went back to my room to rest.

Until the next morning,

After Leo and Sophia had breakfast,

was picked up by the servant who came to deliver the news last night in a carriage.

Head to a manor and wait to meet up with Nok.

On the other side,

In exchange for the opportunity for Madame Mantilati to save her sister,

Jack Rice under the pseudonym of Nock,

"Endurance and humiliation" accompanied Mrs. Mantilati for one night,

At the mercy of the other party, coax the other party to be happy.

It's just that throughout the night, Nock showed reluctance and reluctance.

His "reluctance" was seen by Mrs. Mantilati.

So, early the next morning.

Mrs. Mantilati took Mr. "Les" out of the house,

I went to the manor where I joined Leo and the others.

It's just that after arriving at the manor,

She took Nock, in the posture of the master, and began to arouse the people in the manor,

Dress up for Nock.

and instructed the people of the manor to meet all of Nock's requirements.

She herself took the opportunity to leave Nock,

began to mobilize the forces in his hands to deal with the things promised to Nock last night.

First, let his subordinates get the tickets to the auction from the Victor family.

Then he took 100,000 gold coins from the forces under his hands.

As auction funds for tonight's participation in the auction.

Even, she mobilized people to ambush and monitor near the auction house.

Just in case you can't bid for Mr. Rice's sister, you can use other means to snatch people back.

During the whole process, she did not appear in the sight of the Victor family under the name of Mantilati.

but in the capacity of the mistress of this estate, in the name of Mrs. Gicastia.

In case someone investigated, it would only be possible to find out that Mrs. Gistya sent someone to ask for the admission ticket.

As for other things, I can't find out who has this identity.

After all, who the ticket was given to in the end, Madame Gixtia would not have to confirm.

Because, she just "sold" the admission ticket qualifications.

When attending the auction, Madame Mantilati participates as Jack Rice's female companion.

Even if someone investigated, they couldn't find Mantilati's body.

At noon, Leo and the others, who had been picked up, finally met the carefully cleaned up Nock at the manor.

Nock was dressed as a noble gentleman, and after meeting his subordinates Gareth and his wife,

directly told his own experience with half-truths and half-truths.

Well, these words are mainly for the people who spy on him.

After all, just because Mantilati trusts Nok doesn't mean that others won't spy on him.

After all, their boss is not only Mantilati alone, there are also others above Mantilati.

In the afterglow of dusk, the three of Mantilati and Nock left the manor in a carriage.

At nightfall, the carriage came to an old, solemn and mysterious building in the north of the city.

This is where tonight's auction party is located, known as the "boutique auction house" that only sells fine products.

This auction house has a good reputation in the royal capital industry and has a deep influence, attracting the nobility and wealth of the royal capital.

Before the auction officially began, the atmosphere was extremely tense and lively.

The people who have already entered the hall greet familiar people and talk about tonight's auction items.

Looking forward to the results of tonight's auction.

In the hall, under the gorgeous crystal chandeliers,

People look elegant and reserved in elaborate evening gowns, jewelry, and light makeup on their faces.

Every smile, every handshake, seems to convey some kind of message,

Showing their status and influence.

Auction items are placed in every corner of the hall, waiting to be admired and contested.

Among these items, there are ancient pottery, dazzling jewelry, exquisite calligraphy and painting,

There are also rare works of art, each with its own unique character and a fascinating story behind it.

This is an exhibition of goods before the official auction, and it will be held for half an hour before the official auction.

People are already looking for their goals, exchanging glances, and it seems that a silent battle is being fought.

Everyone is looking forward to being able to find their favorite items at this auction.

Let tonight's trip have a satisfying ending.

However, what is even more exciting is the mystery item at auction.

It is said to be a very rare treasure, and only a few people know about its existence.

This mysterious object has become a hot topic of discussion,

But what it is, no one knows what it really is.

As time went on, the atmosphere at the auction became more and more tense.

People began to take their seats one after another, waiting for the auction to begin.

The lights in the hall fammed, and people's faces looked more focused and expectant under the lights.

A fierce auction is about to begin, and everyone involved is looking forward to the results of tonight's auction,

and who will end up with that mysterious item.

The auction was bustling with crowds and glittering lights.

With the sound of the hammer three times, the auction officially began.

The auctioneer stands on a beautiful stage, holding a delicate small hammer,

His voice echoed through the air.

"Distinguished gentlemen and ladies!

You are welcome to join us at the auction evening prepared by our boutique auction house.

We sincerely hope that you will return home with a full load tonight.

Your satisfaction is our service tenet.

Well, under tonight's auctioneer Jason,

I announce that tonight's auction has officially begun!

Next, we will ask for the number one product!

This is the latest invention from a goblin engineer,

Precision machinery reworked from the clock,

They changed the cumbersome clock to a small one.

Portable volume, goblins call it - pocket watches!

A new chronograph tool, a pocket watch! The starting price is 100 gold coins!

Each increase must not be less than 10 gold coins!

Now, collectors who want to own Pali's first pocket watch, bid! ”

The first lot, although not very precious, is a novelty.

Encouraged by the enthusiasm of the auctioneers, many nobles and merchants participated in the bidding.

directly fried the pocket watch with a starting price of 100 gold coins to more than 1,000 gold coins.

In the end, it was auctioned by a nobleman at a high price of 1,700 gold coins.

With such a good start, the atmosphere of the venue was instantly ignited.

Everyone's eyes are glued to the auctioneer's hand, ready to make a move at the critical moment.

The auctioneer used his speech to detail each item that will be auctioned.

He skillfully steered the atmosphere of the scene, allowing people's emotions to follow the ebb and flow of his words.

When his voice reaches its climax, every precious lot is about to fall,

It always leads to the crowd to burst into fierce bidding.

The bidders shouted loudly, their voices echoing in the air,

Everyone's expressions were full of anticipation and excitement.

The auctioneer's hammer swung in the air, and each drop was accompanied by a cheer,

That's the voice of the winner, and the regret of the loser.

The whole auction is like a symphony, and the sound of people's bids is like a passionate melody.

The auctioneer's hammer drop is like the climax of the music, and everyone is infected by this passionate atmosphere.

In the atmosphere of the auction, people can feel the excitement of bidding and also experience the joy of winning.

It is a feast for the eyes and ears, but also a challenge and test of human nature.

However, Nock, who was sitting in the VIP box, couldn't empathize with the excitement and excitement.

As the auction items were successfully traded, Nock's heart gradually sank.

Even he had forgotten to act, with a black face, looking at the auctioneer,

I can't wait to rush to the stage, catch this damn auctioneer, and let him hand over little Jasmine immediately!

"Damn, why hasn't it shown up yet! Jasmine, are you here or not! ”

Nock was so nervous that he began to talk to himself.

Looking at Nock, who was so nervous, Mantilati hurriedly grabbed his hand and reassured him:

"Mr. Rice, don't be nervous. According to my reliable information, tonight's mysterious lot,

It's the auction of a slave.

I don't know if this slave is your sister, but if she is, I'll take a picture of her for you.

If not, we can completely after the auction house is over,

Go and meet the person in charge of the auction house and buy someone from him.

They also do business to make money, and they won't get along with money. ”

Hearing Mantilati's comfort, and receiving the reminder from Leo and Sophia's eyes,

Nock finally reined in his emotions.

He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm worried that the last mysterious lot is my sister."

I originally thought that she was a little girl and worth a few dollars.

I have prepared 5,000 gold coins, and I think it will be enough to redeem her.

But if you look at a porcelain from the Orient that just completed the transaction,

shouted out the high price of 30,000 gold coins.

And there are still two or three lots left until the final auction.

I don't know why my sister is a mystery lot,

But at the current auction price, I'm afraid that when the time comes, hundreds of thousands of dollars each, I won't be able to get it at all!

But I can't even take out 10,000 gold coins now, what do you want me to do! ”

Nock clutched at his hair in a state of frustration, his face full of helplessness.

Nock is not acting now.

He was really full of confidence at first, and felt that Jasmine was an ordinary little girl,

No matter how expensive it is, how expensive it is.

But seeing that the auction house has come to an end, Jasmine has not yet appeared.

No slaves were seen for auction either.

He didn't know where he was, something went wrong in the middle.

There must have been an unknown change in Jasmine,

made her position as a high-end "commodity", and she was able to make the finale.

Then, Nock's budget of five thousand gold coins became a joke.

If Mantilati doesn't help him, Nock can only take risks,

Target the person who bought Jasmine and find a way to rob the person from the halfway!

It's just that in this way, they are dangerous.

robbing people in the royal city is likely to make the three of them doomed.

This is the royal capital of the Kingdom of Fran, and the masters are like clouds, not to mention,

The defense force is not weak, even if the three of Nok can rob people,

Whether you can leave Pali City or not is still two words!

Just in the Nock trance,

The auction has come to an end.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next auction is our long-awaited mystery lot!

I was honestly shocked to learn what this lot really was.

In my humble eyes, I don't think it deserves to be the finale.

Even at first I thought it didn't even qualify for the first lot.

However!

After I witnessed its magic, I suddenly felt again,

It became the finale of the night, and it was well deserved!

No matter how much I say, you won't believe it.

Let's invite it now.

Let everyone see its magic with their own eyes and make a decision!

Please have one last lot!

A little slave girl with magical abilities! ”
