There were a few faint clouds floating in the sky, and the blue sky like the sea was scrubbed by a torrential rain to be exceptionally clear.There was no wind, and people stood on the steamer-like street, and the heat was blowing in their faces, but everyone's enthusiasm did not diminish in the slightest, and they all rushed to the square building like a tidal wave.Only at this time will you find that the nobles in the imperial capital are really not ordinary, in the crowded crowd, the servants pushed, trying to open up a way for the masters, but found that they were surrounded by nobles, so they became constrained.Dozens of ornate magic caravans cloak Fourth Street, which is once bustling with pedestrians on weekdays, just in time for the day of the summer auction.At the door of the auction house, there were aristocrats from all over the imperial capital, and there were also merchants who came from all over the country, everyone held high the admission tickets in their hands, and the attendants and waiters around them all tried to squeeze a passage and enter the auction house smoothly, making the already very chaotic scene even more out of control.Looking up at this huge square building nearly 100 meters high, it is unusually grand, according to Noah, this building the size of a football field is divided into five floors, each floor has a relatively independent auction hall, the main building is surrounded by one hundred and eight stone pillars nearly 100 meters high wrapped in it, it is difficult to imagine how those circular stone pillars with a diameter of more than three meters are erected, the sculpture on the high dome has a very complete and exquisite relief, after all these years of wind and rain, The exposed stone of the entire building has been impregnated with water rust, and the mottled rust that spreads out of the cracks in the stone covers the entire exterior wall of the building.The Fifth Block is the most vibrant area of the Imperial Capital, with auction houses and a variety of magnificent and luxurious buildings, such as the Colosseum, the Opera House, the Adventure Guild, nightclubs, commercial buildings, the Royal Hotel, and more.Noah pointed to the circular building adjacent to the auction house and said to Louis, "I heard that the gladiatorial arena over there is going to hold a grand gladiatorial ceremony recently, so don't forget to bring me and Jijia with you." ”Louis reached out and rubbed Noah's hair, with a doting expression, and said to him, "Where did you hear the news?"
Your news is very well-informed, I also just received the news, this time Duke Jingyue of Sloit City led the ten most elite Constructed Knights of the North Wind Legion, and Prince James of Haiyin Silk City led the most elite eight Constructed Knights of the South Wind Legion and two Naga Sea Clan Legions, I heard that the war between the Strange Rock City and the Swamp Clan in the Wild Swamp is also very tense, and only one legion leader and two Constructed Knights will be sent to this side" Noah looked surprised and interrupted Louis's words: " With so many powerful armies gathered together in the imperial capital, what does Charles want to do?
”Louis smiled slightly, and explained: "Of course, it is to change the previous decline, all planes are in a bitter war, such a long time to drag, the empire's overall economy will be dragged down immediately, without all planes continue to send all kinds of materials to the imperial capital, the imperial capital will soon fall into the embarrassing dilemma of lack of various materials, in the face of such a situation, as the emperor of the Grimm Empire, it is impossible to sit idly by no matter what." ”Noah's eyes widened, and his expression was incredulous: "That's why you let the most elite knights of the empire go to various planes to participate in the war?"
”Louis didn't have too much expression on his face and said, "Probably so!
Before going on the expedition, there are always some grand gladiatorial ceremonies or something, and the gladiatorial activities are probably also to awaken the blood of the nobles who live a comfortable life in the imperial capital, and those nobles who do not want to send troops into the war always have to donate some other things, and it is most in line with the current interests of the Grimm Empire to end the plane war as soon as possible. ”Hearing Noah say this, I remembered the letter I wrote to Grand Duke Jingyue half a month ago, Princess Sha came to visit me at the residence with a team of knights, and I didn't reveal anything at that time, but maybe that knight team was the advance team sent by Duke Jingyue to the imperial capital.Summer is the safest season for Sloit, the water of the Galloping River in the rainy season is extremely fast, and all the barbarians can block the north bank of the Galloping River, probably because of this, Duke Jingyue will accept the call of Charles the Great and lead the most elite Constructed Knights in the Legion of the North Wind to rush to the aid of those plane lords.At this time, I heard Louis say to Noah: "I heard that the night elves on the other side of the eternal night forest and the messenger of the silver moon elves of the art capital of Buenos City have arrived in the Grimm Imperial Capital, probably to intervene in this dimensional war, if Charles does not turn the situation around as soon as possible, who knows what kind of impact it will cause." ”Noah was not very good at analyzing these strategic matters, and said bitterly: "Didn't you want to recall those famous adventure groups in the empire to enter the rich planes of the various grand dukes, is it enough to turn the situation around?"
”Louis pointed to the crowd gathered at the door of the auction house, sighed slightly, and said: "Looking at today's scene, it is not difficult to think of how bad those plane wars are, I heard that there is a batch of intermediate magic herbs airlifted from Buenos here in the auction house, it is said that it will be auctioned in groups, and now I don't know how many nobles want to fight for some auctions, doesn't the lack of magic herbs still explain the problem?"
A large number of wounded soldiers require the consumption of a large number of healing potions. ”He didn't seem to want to say too much negative news about the plane war with Noah, so he changed the subject: "The hottest item in this auction is that it won't be some high-level magic pattern builds and epic weapons like in previous years, but healing magic herbs and repair magic metals, everything will have to give way to the plane war!"
”Louis turned to me and asked Noah and me, "Jijia, Noah, are you going to go to the Magic Pattern Construct and Rare Weapons Auction Hall, or come with me to the second auction hall where the magic herbs are auctioned, but we have to hurry, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to squeeze in if we go late." ”We moved a little bit towards the auction house with the crowd, and we didn't know that the auction house could accommodate so many people.Noah grinned and rejected Luis's proposal, then said, "Hey, Luis, you're all wrong, we're not going to go the same way, Jiga and I are going to visit the Magic Gem Auction Hall!"
”Louis didn't expect that Noah and I would be interested in magic gems, but he didn't think much about it, just said casually: "This year, magic jewelry, magic gems, artwork and auction together, your choice is really a bit unexpected to me, but I suggest that you pay attention to those magic jewelry that restores mana, if you like it, you might as well auction it, Noah, Jijia, do you have enough magic crystals?"
”Noah puffed up his chest, patted his hand on the money bag hanging from his waist, and said proudly, "Bring enough, don't worry about us, Louis, I've saved a lot of money lately." ”Then Louis's eyes fell on me, and my heart warmed, and I quickly said, "Oh, I also brought all my belongings."
Look, I've got a lot of preparations!
”I took the money bag out of my magic fanny pack and it was heavy, like a bag of rice.Untie the rope, open the mouth of the bag, and let Louis and Noah see the magic crystals in the money bag, more than 3,000 magic crystals are bulging into it, probably Louis and Noah didn't expect that I would take so many magic crystals with me, Noah came over and saw the magic crystals in my money bag, and wailed: "I swear, I don't want to see Jijia's money bag again, it's a bit too shocking." ”Louis explained to Noah: "The primary magic herbs, hemostatic bandages and magic black iron have made him a lot of money for a while, and his money bag is more bulging than yours, which is not surprising to me, I want to open a little, Noah, you have to learn more from Jijia in the future." ”He turned back to me and quipped, "Hey, Jiga, is it true that the Duke of Samoyed of the Jero plane wants to marry his daughter to you, so he will give you such a rich dowry?"
”"Uh" I glanced at Caterina with a humble heart, to be honest, the supply of the entire Xinliu Valley now is almost all the dowry left by the quartermaster Felix to Katarina, and there are really some dowry elements in my property, but it is not the property of the Duke of Samoyed.Caterina blushed slightly at the sight of my eyes, but at this time she was wearing the royal squid leather armor battle skirt and the earth shield leather armor top, and the whole person exuded a kind of Pai Plateau orc tribe atmosphere, gorgeous face, gentle eyes and the madness exuded from the leather armor battle skirt.
The wild taste makes her whole person have a unique taste.Maybe it's because she has the blood of the orc rabbit in her bones, so she wears the leather armor battle skirt with the taste of the orc."
Tsk, the light leather armor of the wurm skin, the magic pattern drawn is also so new, Jijia, you really exude the nouveau riche on your body, is this redhead your follower?"
Louis also noticed the beautiful Caterina at this time, with her long red hair and red eyes standing out in the crowd, but her tall figure snuggled up to me, wearing a gorgeous magic pattern costume, but an exaggerated broken blade was tied around her waist, and the visual gap attracted the attention of many people around."
yes!"
I glanced at Katerina, who was a bit peculiar, and although she was now by my side, she was still Kige's personal maid.The look between me and Caterina made Louis pat his forehead, and with a hint of doubt, he said to Caterina, "I always feel like I've seen you there!"
”Caterina blushed slightly, just blinked, and was silent beside me.Following the flow of people to the gate of the auction house, although there was no way to cut the queue forward, but it was also pushed by the crowd that came from behind, and it was never stopped, so each of us had an admission ticket in our hands, and it was a smooth squeeze into the hall of the auction house, and when we got inside, although there were a lot of people, at least it was not so crowded.The large hall on the first floor was full of auction buyers, because the jewelry auction hall and the magic herb auction hall were not on the same floor, Noah and I were going to walk separately from Louis in the hall on the first floor, he took a few heads of the Emerald Bay Trading House, and the beautiful female assistant with outstanding figure, the group was very eye-catching, and when parting, Louis put his arm around Noah's neck, pulled it aside, and whispered to Noah: "I'll have to look at it later, no matter what, Shirley.
Newman is also the most outstanding magician in that province, you can get the favor of others, during this time they have pulled people's personal maids to bed, and their minds should be more delicate, girls don't like jewelry, if she has a crush on which magic jewelry, you might as well take the initiative to buy it, oh, you have to learn to please girls. ”As he spoke, he pulled a money bag from his waist and stuffed it into Noah's arms without saying a word, so that Noah quickly put it into his magic waist bag."
Got it, it's really wordy, I'm not short of money!"
Noah blushed a little and muttered quietly.The magic materials auction hall is on the second floor of the auction house, and Louis led the Emerald Bay Merchant House and his party directly to the second floor, and their group of people will probably enter different auction halls separately, and they may be involved in many auction goods, otherwise there would not be so many regional leaders following Louis over.Noah usually doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Emerald Bay Trading House, and he doesn't know what is missing in the trading house, but it should also be some magic herbs and Mithril ingots.The magic jewelry, gemstones, and art auction hall is on the top floor of the auction house, and Katerina, Noah, and Shirley Newman and I went up the spiral staircase to the fifth floor.There are even some elves in the crowd who are rarely seen, it seems that every elf has very strict requirements for dress and appearance, they are dressed in exquisite embroidery and hollow intertwined gorgeous clothes, pale gold or silver-white long hair is soft and smooth, and everyone wears some exquisite jewelry.The corridor is covered with scarlet blankets, and the stone pillars on both sides of the corridor and the dome of the round vault make the interior magnificent, and there is a round stone pillar every three meters away, and the wall between the stone pillars is hung with exquisite oil paintings, perhaps because of the leakage in the hotel in San Carlos, so that no matter where I go, I will like to stare at the oil paintings on the wall one by one, although I don't know about those art, but I can feel whether there is magic on those oil paintings.Shirley.
Newman took Noah's arm and asked me curiously, "Jijia, do you like these oil paintings?"
”"Me?
Of course not, as a mage, I'm only interested in magic circles and spatial geometry. ”I'm very interested in Shirley.
Newman said.It happened that a group of young elven men and women passed by, and when an elven beauty passed by me, she looked at me with disdain, and for the contempt of the elven beauty, Katarina, who was with me, glared back unceremoniously with sharp eyes, and Caterina who returned from the battlefield had a powerful aura, which made the elven beauty retract her gaze in a panic.
