The Wizard's Road from the Simulator

Chapter 24 "Golden Lion Auction" and "Bronze Key" (read more)
"It's also good to go to Zhangzhang to learn more. This time it's Em who will host the auction, and William will go with you."

Earl Arthur was not surprised by Chen Mu's choice.

He also knew that his youngest son had been a little bored staying in the manor recently.

In Earl Arthur's view, Viri has changed a lot in the past few months from before.

It was as if he had walked out of his mother's death and become a person who couldn't stay idle.

Thinking of Chen Mu's mother, that is, his wife, Earl Arthur's eyes became a little complicated.

"Father, does our family hold auctions every year?"

Chen Mu asked, it is true that the original owner did not have the auction in his memory.

"Large auctions don't happen every year, and it's normal that you don't pay much attention to them and don't know.

The Golden Lion Auction House holds small auctions every month, and large auctions are usually held every three years, and this year it was brought forward. "

Hearing Chen Mu's question, Earl Arthur said.

As for the reason for the early auction, he didn't say, and Chen Mu didn't ask either.

"Father, is there a list of the items in this auction? I want to take a look first."

"Yes, this is in charge of Em. If you are interested in this, you can ask him."

Hearing Chen Mu's words, Earl Arthur didn't doubt anything, and replied casually.

Ten days passed in a flash.

On the last day before the auction, Chen Mu and William came to the Golden Lion Auction House in the Far East.

The Golden Lion Auction House is a large auction house owned by the Golden Lion family.

The architectural style of the auction house is somewhat similar to the architectural style of Chen Mu's previous life in the Middle Ages in Europe.

This type of architecture is characterized by grandeur, with large-scale ornate decoration.

From the outside, the auction house looks like a large cage.

The entire auction house has three upper and lower floors, all of which are built of marble and granite, exuding a quaint atmosphere.

The walls outside the auction house are decorated with exquisite carvings and reliefs, which are quite expensive just by looking at them from a distance.

The current Chen Mu knows the glory of the Golden Lion family.

These may not be able to be built by the current Golden Lion family alone.

Enter the auction house.

Compared with the brilliance seen from the outside, the interior of the auction house is not only unrestrained, but even more luxurious.

The interior design of the auction house is extremely exquisite, with a large number of carvings and murals, and the top of the head is a highly decorative ceiling.

The high ceilings are hung with antique chandeliers.

In the middle of the first floor stands a large auction podium.

There are many seats around the podium for those who participate in the auction to sit here.

This large-scale auction was held on the first floor of the auction house.

As for the second and third floors of the auction house, there are stages, concert halls, art showrooms and small boxes.

This is a place for those who participate in the auction to appreciate, study and rest.

The Golden Lion Auction House can be said to be a perfect combination of architecture, art and culture.

Even Chen Mu couldn't fault it.

In a small box on the second floor, Em handed a list to Chen Mu.

"Master, this is the list of auction items you want, and all the items for this auction are on it."

Seeing that Chen Mu received the list and began to read it carefully, Em didn't mean to disturb Chen Mu, and went to the side to chat softly with William.

Chen Mu, on the other hand, focused on the list of items for this auction.

Look at each lot carefully to ensure that some content is not missed.

"found it!"

He lived up to Chen Mu's expectations, and one of the lots on the list was exactly what he was looking for.

[Lot No.40 No. [-]: Bronze Key]

[Introduction: The age is unknown and long ago, the design and craftsmanship are very exquisite, with unknown characters and patterns, and has a high collection value. 】

[Estimated price: 500 gold coins or unsold]

"That's right, it's the bronze key."

After reading this description, Chen Mu was sure that this was the bronze key he was looking for.

After all, there are no other keys on this list.

Judging from the text description alone, this bronze key is nothing special, at most it is a work of art with a little collection value.

And the estimated value is not high, which is nothing compared to other lots on this list.

There is even a possibility of unsold, it looks like the Golden Lion family just made up a random number.

But Chen Mu, who had gone through two simulations, knew that this key was the goal of the Black Clothes Seeking Dao Society.

After seeing what he was looking for, Chen Mu didn't hesitate, and called Em to speak softly:
"Your Excellency Em, I'm very interested in this bronze key, can you cancel the auction and keep it?"

Hearing Chen Mu's words, Em was a little surprised.

But he still took the list in Chen Mu's hand, looked at lot 42, and found that it was neither precious nor special.

Although he was a little puzzled as to why Chen Mu was interested in this key, he didn't ask any further questions.

As the second young master of the Golden Lion family, Chen Mu still has this privilege.

Not to mention one piece, even if a few items are withdrawn, Em will not refuse, after all, the items above are all belonging to the Golden Lion family.

Then Em said:
"No problem, master. I'll ask the auctioneer to withdraw this lot for you later. In fact, you can directly bid at the auction, master."

Em felt that Chen Mu came to participate in the family auction for the first time, and he could actually experience the feeling of bidding auction, so he said something by the way.

"No need, Your Excellency Aim, by the way, will the list of this lot be disclosed in advance before the auction starts?"

Chen Mu naturally refused.

After all, if the price is called directly, it will be the same as in the simulation.

"No, this lot is kept secret throughout the whole process. I was the only one who had this list before the auction started, and now there is you, young master.

Because sometimes a few items will be added or withdrawn before the auction starts, so the list is actually not fixed.

It's like young master, if you request to withdraw one lot this time, you will temporarily add another one before the auction starts. "

Aim opened his mouth to explain to Chen Mu.

Chen Mu nodded after hearing this.

It was only after hearing Em's explanation that he realized that the lot would not be disclosed in advance.

It seems that it is really a coincidence that people from the Black Clothes Seeking Dao Society participated in this auction, and then accidentally found what they had been looking for at the auction?

This is too coincidental.

But if Em betrayed the Golden Lion family, it wouldn't make sense to leak this list in advance.

Not to mention Earl Arthur's absolute trust in Em.

Even if Em really betrayed, it shouldn't be difficult to get this bronze key.

Because the auction itself is in charge of Aim, it is too easy to withdraw a lot without permission.

And when Chen Mu told Em that he wanted to keep the bronze key, he actually paid attention to Em's reaction.

Em's reaction wasn't a special reaction to knowing the key.

After a while, a guard handed a box to Em, and then Em handed the box to Chen Mu,

Chen Mu opened the wooden box, which contained a bronze key.

From the appearance alone, this is a copper key that is so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary.

There was even a patina of rust on the keys.

At most, the petal-like pattern on the top is a bit special, but Chen Mu can't see what is special.

It doesn't feel like a treasure in the previous life novels at all.

Taking advantage of the auction starting soon, Chen Mu stroked the bronze key in his palm.
