Alien world

Chapter 299 152. The fifth day of harvest
The fat man led Annan into the VIP seat overlooking the auction hall.

"Just tell the maid what you like." The obese man who remained humble exited the VIP seat.

Annan looked around the VIP seats and sat on the velvet sofa. The maid then brought pastries and red wine, leaned over to reveal a piece of white snow, and stood aside with her hands folded.Annan didn't pay attention to the maids and food. Olmedo said not to eat strangers' things.His attention fell on the obese man in front of the auction table: "Let us welcome today's distinguished guest, the guard of Prince Minos, the epic mage Moro! The branch leader of the Shadow Brotherhood, Hilde Diggin, and some from the northern border Twelve Kings, Annan Reeves!"

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

"Master level demon iron, starting price is 50 gold coins!"

Annan has seen more demon iron than all the guests in the auction house.The master-level demon iron comes from the master-level demon. It costs 5 gold to sell it from Snow Mountain Fortress to Breeze City, and 10 gold to sell it to a merchant in Breeze City, but it is ten times higher in the Royal Capital—100 gold coins is the final price.

"The scepter of the Ratman Priest, seized from the southern battlefield!"

A scepter that can only be used as a trophy was also sold for 40 gold coins.

Next is something that Annan is familiar with, the armor of the Knights: it was sold at a price of 300 gold coins.

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

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

Annan heard from Olmedo about the "simple cognition" of the nobles: the nobles will form a circle because of their interests. They are both cooperative and hostile, and they are both married and framed by each other. proverb.And when Annan, an outsider, appeared, his brothers and cousins ​​united and made an unanimous announcement—if Annan participated in the auction, the armor of the Knights might be sold for 500 gold coins.

It's silly, but the nobility maintains a cohesive way of life.

If there are elders in the Reeves family, the eldest and second sisters will marry into the big family, and Levis Reeves, who is the heir, is no exception.

So does "I" have a marriage contract?
While Annan was daydreaming, a human-scale statue of the Goddess of Wealth was put on the auction block.

The statues covered with gold veils are different from the church's mercy, beautiful and vivid.Believers of all gods regard the gods as supreme and dare not desecrate them.The believers of the Church of Wealth are the same, but at the same time, gold coins are the symbol of the Goddess of Wealth, so the Goddess of Wealth allows her believers to buy and sell everything with money—according to the official statement, the believers of the Goddess of Wealth have a strong trading atmosphere.

Most of the believers of the Goddess of Wealth are businessmen, and they are all in line 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 maintains order and non-chaos is also very simple-wealth only grows in the soil of order, and I have never heard of the devil giving money to buy things.

"The statue of the Goddess of Wealth starts at 30 gold coins."

There is also a statue in Olmedo's office, thinking that she seems to be a shallow believer in the goddess of wealth, Annan tried to ask the maid to call for 50 gold coins.It's just right to bring it back to Olmedo as a gift, if it's too expensive.

Annan's first bidding made waves at the auction, and then a young nobleman stood up and looked provocatively at the VIP seat where Annan was sitting: "51 gold."

"One hundred gold coins." Annan couldn't afford one more gold.

"One hundred and one gold, no matter what price he asks, I will be one gold coin more than him." The young nobleman's words sparked cheers of support.

Annan who still wanted to give up asked tentatively, "150 gold coins."

"150 gold!"

"Two hundred gold coins."

"Two hundred and one gold!"

"250 gold coins."

"250 gold!"

"Five hundred gold coins."

"Five hundred and one gold!"

Annan felt that he was worthy of being a nobleman in the royal capital. A nobleman who couldn't sit in the VIP seat could afford two hundred guineas, so that the maid whose chest was heaving excitedly didn't have to shout anymore.

A young nobleman bought a statue of the Goddess of Wealth for 501 kinnars.When he wakes up from the admiration around him and realizes what's going on, he hates Annan - but he has to line up.

"What will happen if you can't pay?" Annan asked the maid.

"I have to pay liquidated damages to the auction house, and I and my family members can no longer participate in the black gold auction for a period of time."

Aunt Susan used a broom to beat Martin, but would the nobles in the capital beat their son with a golden broom?

Annan did not participate in the next auction, and asked the maid to take him to find the fat man, ask the sender of the statue of the Goddess of Wealth, and find him.

"I only have one statue, even if I have one, I won't sell it to you." Basil Lehmann, the baron who has several shops in the outer city, made no secret of his rejection of Annan.

"Divide me."

"what?"

Annan said gently: "If you don't tell the difference, I will tell the unlucky guy who spent five hundred and one gold, and you will cooperate with me to defraud him of his money."

Baron Lehman suddenly opened his eyes wide: "You... how dare you! I didn't cooperate with you, and I don't know you either?"

"Who would believe it? But the owner of the Black Gold Auction House personally sent me to you." Annan whispered, "Unless you return the gold coins to prove your innocence... But this does not seem to conform to the teachings of the Fortune Church."

Baron Lehman threw a money bag to Annan with fear and bad luck. "Take yours, quick—" He will roll back and change his words: "Don't tell anyone... Even if you tell them, they won't believe it!"

Annan shook the purse, and Princess Biersi gave half of it, which should have [-] to [-] gold coins.

"I want half."

"That's impossible!" Baron Lehman seemed to have his soul torn in half, "If you keep pestering me, I'll go find the city guard..."

Annan imitated the centurion's playful tone: "I scolded the four legends the day I first came, and the eighth holy grail knight and the legendary mage invited me together. Why do you think I'm afraid of a group of city guards?"

Baron Lyman's courage was torn in half again.

"501 gold coins, I don't need that 1 gold coin." Annan said kindly.In exchange for the blue dragon Elimoas, even if the parents came, they would have to take out 50 silver coins. "You still have 251 gold coins...it's just a statue, you have to open a shop for a few years to earn back the money?"

Baron Lehmann's face was pale, and he murmured, "I don't have that much money... IOUs are okay?"

"of course."

Borrowing the paper and pen from the auction house to write down the IOU, Baron Lehman's expression gradually recovered, and he became sullen: "Are you satisfied?"

"Happy cooperation." Annan put away the IOU.

250 kinnars.Add in the 100 kinnars from Princess Searles, and that's 350 kinnars for five days - more tomorrow.

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

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

"It doesn't matter, so what about tomorrow? I will let my subordinates prepare the treasure."

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