Chapter 53 The Auction Venue
There are two masters of ceremonies standing on the central stage, and a booth in the middle.Now, an oil painting with an unknown name is being exhibited on it.Auctions were heard all around, and after raising the price several times, it was finally sold at [-] sula.

"Come on, Miss Mengdie, sit by my side."

Dika lightly patted Mengdie's waist, signaling her to sit in a position not too close to the central booth.Mengdie frowned and shook her head slowly.She thought for a while and asked, "Dika, what time does this auction usually start?"

"Ten o'clock in the morning. One hour break from twelve o'clock in the afternoon to one o'clock. Continue at one o'clock in the afternoon until four o'clock. Any questions, sweetheart."

Mengdie shook her head, took out the pocket watch and looked at it carefully.It is just after eleven o'clock, which means it has only started for more than an hour.In terms of probability, the possibility of being auctioned off is still very low.

While thinking, Mengdie walked to the seat closest to the booth and sat down.Because she was wearing a hat, the people next to her didn't see that she was a woman for a while, so they didn't pay much attention to her.

Dika snorted softly at Mengdie's move, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.He didn't object either, and walked leisurely to Mengdie's side.When the two men sitting on both sides of her saw Dika, they immediately stood up pale and respectfully gave up their seats.Dika sneered twice, nodded in satisfaction, and sat down.

The auction is going on in an orderly manner, with more and more exquisite and expensive exhibits being displayed one by one.The atmosphere at the auction venue also became more and more heated.During this period, Mengdie stared intently at every lot on stage, hoping to find the shadow of her ruby ​​necklace.Unfortunately, during this period, diamond necklaces, emerald necklaces, emerald necklaces, etc. were exhibited one after another, but I didn't see my ruby ​​necklace.

"Couldn't it be... that it's been auctioned off... or that there's no such item at all?"

During the lunch break, Mengdie rejected Dika's invitation to go to a private restaurant for lunch, and resolutely decided to continue to sit here and stay behind.She didn't even eat the few pieces of cake that Dika handed over, and pushed them aside, looking anxiously at everything on the booth.

Then, the afternoon auction starts again.

"Damn...Damn...Damn! Why hasn't it come out yet? Is it true? If so, then what is the purpose of my hard work these past few months?! My necklace...my power? Where did you go!"

As time went by, Mengdie's body began to tense, and she trembled from being too nervous.When the bell rang at three o'clock in the afternoon, her face flushed with excitement, and some sad tears slowly gathered in the corners of her eyes...

But his scene made Dika beside him fascinated.

"Miss Mengdie, what do you want? Just say what you want, and you don't need to bear it. Is there anything between you and me that needs to be patient?"

When a girl sheds tears, that's the time to show her courtesy.Dika understood this truth very well, so of course he stretched out his hand and tried to hug Mengdie's waist again.Sure enough, this time the girl didn't resist (she forgot to resist in a hurry).

(Hey, what kind of strong woman was you just now? Isn't it bit by bit captured by me now?)

Dika's hand gently stroked Mengdie's waist, and at the same time hugged her little by little.Taking advantage of the situation, he took out the handkerchief in his pocket with the other hand, and put it next to Mengdie's face, as if to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, my sweetheart. What do you want?"

The handkerchief touched her face, and Mengdie regained her senses a little.She unceremoniously took Dika's handkerchief, wiped away the tears she hated from the corners of her eyes, continued to stare at the booth, and said anxiously: "I want the necklace!"

It just so happened that the latest lot was announced on the booth. It was a necklace with a simple decoration and a purple gemstone hanging from the pendant.But experts can tell at a glance that this purple gemstone is not an ordinary purple gemstone.It's an out-and-out magic crystal!
"The pupil of Marceau! According to legend, it is one of the collections that the notorious witch Marceau divided her body into five parts before she died! It can greatly improve the human body's perception of magic! People who know magic can use it with them, and they can easily use relatively high-level magic such as water mirror, fireball, thunder binding, etc. without chanting incantations. In addition, it has the following functions..."

The master of ceremonies on the stage was still introducing.After Mengdie saw the necklace, a disappointed expression came to her cheeks again.She fell limply on the chair and closed her eyes in disappointment.

"Sweetie, do you like that necklace? I'll buy it for you." How did Dika know what Mengdie was thinking?Those who pretend to be wise come forward and offer courtesy.It just so happened that the master of ceremonies reported the starting price for the magic necklace.

"Who likes that necklace! Why do I want such a useless thing?!" Time passed by, and seeing the hope become more and more elusive, Mengdie's mood naturally became worse and worse.Hearing that Dika came to provoke her so ignorantly, Mengdie immediately became angry and yelled out loudly!Fortunately, the auction venue was full of enthusiasm for this necklace at the moment, and her outcry did not cause much impact.

Unexpectedly, Dick was rejected, and the expression on his face was instantly distorted.From before to now, he has never been reprimanded by a woman like this.The self-esteem in my heart was immediately hurt!When Mengdie looked at him, it was still that smiling face.But when she didn't look at him, viciousness immediately emerged from the corner of her mouth!

(I don’t know how to flatter you, if it wasn’t for your beauty, do you think I’d give you so much?! You wait for me, after tonight’s dance is over, I must put you under Tortured to death on the bed! Let you know who is your master!)

In a blink of an eye, the "Pupil of Marceau" was bought at a price of 12 sula.At this time, there were less than 15 minutes left before the end time at four o'clock.After glancing at the pocket watch again, Mengdie lay on the seat exhausted, closing her eyes and thinking about her thoughts.Tears of sadness and disappointment flowed from the corners of my eyes...

"Hmm." The master of ceremonies on the stage coughed, "Ladies and gentlemen, now, we are announcing today's last lot. The reason why this lot is put at the end is not because it is so precious, but It’s because we are still unable to determine its actual value. It may be worth a lot, or it may not be worth a sura. So, please think carefully before raising your cards.”
