v4 Chapter 38: Prelude to the auction

Ding~ding~ding~

The golden spoon collided with the crystal cup, and the crisp sound instantly spread throughout the hall.

This was a small ceremony before the host of the reception appeared. It was to inform everyone that Count Tulip was going to appear.

Donald and Stephanie were standing next to a pillar on the right. The former had his hands behind his back, his eyes crossed the crowd, and he looked at the handsome middle-aged man who was walking out of the inner hall.

Yes, this Earl of Tulip can be said to be a man with outstanding looks, no matter from which angle, with a tall and straight body, meticulous hairstyle and attire, and his noble temperament is vividly reflected in him.

The whispers and whispers of many women around him can prove this.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next step is a small auction organized by this reception. If you are interested, you can go to the venue on the third floor."

After a long paragraph similar to a toast, Earl Tulip finally spoke about the most crucial thing.

Although the small auction hosted by the Aldrich family has the prefix "small", as long as the high-ranking people in East Germany know that nothing that can appear at this auction is ordinary, Donald is here. I also heard Huxley talk about this on the way.

This auction has no type restrictions on the auction items. Humans, exotic animals, antiques, strange objects and the capital companies that Donald is bound to win today can be taken out here as long as they are precious enough, and Earl Aldridge, who provided the venue, naturally wants to drawn from it.

But just like the few acres of flower fields outside the castle, the earl has always been particular about all the auctions. He has a special team to review all the auctions. The lowest starting price is 80 gold pounds, and things that are worth less than this price will even go on stage. are not eligible.

Therefore, the people who are interested in the auction said by Earl Tulip are not a general polite word, but are telling everyone in a euphemistic way that if the money prepared is not enough, it is best not to follow too much. go up.

"Let's go."

Without any hesitation, Donald wore Stephanie and began to walk towards the stairs, and at the same time, people in the crowd near them began to approach there.

"Look at the front left, the man just now."

Stephanie whispered in Donald's ear as she stepped up the stairs.

The latter turned his head and saw at a glance that Viscount Philip, who had been humiliated by him not long ago, was diligently following behind the two graceful women from the back, saying a word or two from time to time, the expression on his face. Zhu Jue's expression was as lewd as ever.

The two women who were still walking in the center of the stairs were squeezed by him to the carved wooden railing on the left, and they walked up quickly with their bodies sideways in embarrassment.

"It should be the mother and daughter of the Steve family, this disgusting guy really has no shame at all."

The disgust towards Viscount Philip made Donald involuntarily feel resentful about what happened to the mother and daughter, but he didn't step forward to stop it, not because he didn't want to, but because he really had no position.

Because Serveit Talos seems to be one of the culprits in this situation, it is more likely that he will be regarded as an accomplice at this time.

"Viscount Philip, please show some respect to me and my mother!"

Before walking up to the third floor, the girl who looked relatively slender finally yelled out loudly.

This time almost attracted everyone's attention.

"It's a backbone, but it's a pity that the timing of showing his backbone is not right."

In the absence of a pillar of support for his own family, it is undoubtedly very serious to tear his face in public with a Viscount whose financial resources and power are far superior to his own.

If there was still some room for maneuver between the two of them, then after the girl scolded Viscount Philip, not only would he not let the latter retreat, but he was forcing him to attack.

Because if Viscount Philip fails to achieve his goals, it is equivalent to admitting his incompetence to those around him.

After he achieved his goal, the fate of the mother and daughter may not be so optimistic.

"Irina, hurry up and apologize to Sir Philip!"

The girl's mother obviously realized the inappropriate behavior of her daughter, and asked her to apologize while turning to Viscount Philip and said,

"I'm sorry, Sir Philip, Irina has been in a bad mood recently because of things at home."

"Hmph, when Mr. Francis buys your company, you will understand what kind of identity you should be facing me!"

Philip glanced gloomily at the beautiful figures of the mother and daughter, and then walked forward without looking back.

At this time, he hadn't heard from Joyce that Donald was going to participate in the competition. When he realized that he couldn't stop things from happening, he decisively pretended not to know what to do. He didn't even come to the auction, and he was ready. It's time to ask three questions.

This little episode did not cause too many waves, except for the mother and daughter with a bleak face, everyone entered the venue step by step.

The layout of the venue is not bad. It doesn't look like an open space on the first floor. It is arranged like a theater. Because there are only a few dozen people participating, everyone has a seat, and the front row is very elegant. There are nearly ten special seats that are slightly different from the rear in size and color.

A noble party.

Status is reflected in all aspects.

Donald and Stephanie were led to the front seat by the waiter as soon as they entered the door. The predecessors spent a lot of money here, and since they were mayor of Renas, they were naturally qualified to sit in this position.

After everyone is seated, the auction will start immediately without any hesitation.

"The first item to be auctioned is the Emerald Dream pocket watch made by master craftsmen of the imperial capital, Master Bronte. The starting price is 80 gold pounds."

The waiter held the wooden box at an angle with his white-gloved hands, and showed everyone the exquisite pocket watch in it, which flashed bright green light under the light. During the exhibition, there was also a gray-haired man wearing a black vest with a lining. Introduction of the old man in white shirt.

This kind of thing is a veritable luxury, and Donald has no interest at all, because there are not too many similar pocket watches in Servette's treasury. It is no worse than the emerald dream in front of him.

Of course, the fact that Donald doesn't like it doesn't mean that others don't like it. This pocket watch was finally taken by a nobleman from Delchimo at a price of 100 gold pounds.

At this price, it was even possible to buy a fairly good strange item in the original sea market.

Most of the next auction items are works of art without any practical utility, including old antiques dug up from ancient ruins~lightnovelpub.net~ paintings left by a certain master. For nobles who pursue art, these are natural They are all good things, and almost every one can easily command a high price.

But it's not all useless. For example, the two spears that are now being carried on the court have attracted Donald's attention.

The one on the left has a gorgeous surface coating and glyph patterns. The fine gears looming in the middle and rear of the barrel under the silver-white metal shell, and the sight about **** long on the top all show people that this is a gun. The rifle with excellent performance, the one on the right is much simpler, but it is also a relatively rare style.

"This year's latest product from the Lovak Arsenal, the Mithril Series Collection, is purely mechanically driven and has its own scope. It can easily break the skull of a wild bear within a range of 800 meters. This one is its bonus. Bronze 2 combo gun, the melee power is not inferior to ordinary shotguns”

These two guns are obviously prepared for the men who are keen on hunting, and even in the introduction, the content of hunting is mentioned many times.

In the end, Donald bid 110 gold pounds to buy them.

Not wanting to compete with him, the Mayor of Renas, a few hunting enthusiasts shouted symbolically before closing their mouths.

Don't get me wrong, Donald didn't want to change his career to become a gunsmith. He just liked it, especially the one that came with it. He wanted to take it back and let a professional test its performance.

Now that the ordinary garrison in Reinas City is too weak, Donald has long wanted to form a qualified combat force for his own use.

In his plan, he will start to clean up Renas' underground forces soon. At that time, the police can't let the police take those old antiques that I don't know how long ago to fight the underground forces.
