"Girl, don't think wrong! I'm not the kind of man who is flirtatious... I just need to be concerned about the emotional state of the young people in the territory as a lord."
"Giggle...yes, yes, Uncle Lambert, you are devoted to Madam."
Amid the cheerful chatter in the carriage, Kraal City gradually approached.
This border city of the Kingdom of France is located about 150 kilometers south of the town of Sergin. It is medium-sized and has a permanent population of about 20.
It is said to be a border city, but unlike the border in the north, which is infested by wild beasts all year round, Krall City is close to the Eastern Misty Mountains.
There is no need to worry about foreign invasion here, so Krall City does not need a garrison at all. In terms of combat power, it only has the security force to maintain law and order and the adventurers to fight monsters.
Naturally, there will be no particularly diligent nobles in a comfortable and comfortable environment. Therefore, the four quarterly meetings held every year in Krall City are not so much work meetings as they are tea parties for the nobles to socialize and have fun.
In fact, Lambert initially brought Valencia to this kind of party because of his elder mentality.
He felt that Valencia was not suitable for holding a sword as a vase lady, so it was better to find a good man. Taking Valensa to such a party would be a bit like a blind date.
With Valencia's beauty, even though her figure had just begun to develop at that time, she could easily seduce the hearts of most men.
The second son of the lord of Krall City has expressed his willingness to arrange a very easy job for Valencia in the city hall... the kind that doesn't require any work and pays a lot of money.As long as Valencia can often go to his house to sit and chat with him to relieve his boredom.
Of course, Valencia resolutely declined all similar pursuits. Her appearance even earned her the title of a cold beauty for a time, which also made the aristocratic young people who failed in her pursuit somewhat dissatisfied.
Fortunately, Valencia is a noble from the royal capital after all. Even if they are down and out, these border nobles will not dare to have any evil thoughts towards her, and the Badr family has not yet declined.
However, almost all young men were rejected from pursuing this kind of thing, which also made it difficult for Valencia to further develop the aristocratic social circle in Krall City, so she rarely entered the city unless necessary in the past two years.
In this aristocratic gathering called the quarterly report meeting, which was actually a large tea party, Valencia still maintained her usual style.
Dressed up in a stunning red dress, her overwhelming charm made many men salivate. However, she sat in the corner with a cold temperament and treated all the young men who came up to chat with her. Decline.
However, she is still very friendly towards women and elders.
Whether old-fashioned or funny, the older Valencia can talk and laugh. Whether women are looking for trouble out of jealousy or making sincere friends, she can handle it easily, and even turn enemies into friends.
In fact, there were several aristocratic ladies in Krall City who were very jealous of Valencia at first, but after they failed to find trouble, they became her fans... and even wanted to become adventurers like her, but were rejected by their families. Grounded.
Chapter 30 The eldest lady is so handsome
Similar to the previous quarterly meetings in Krall City, this meeting also came to an end after three consecutive days of banquets, dances, tea parties and other social activities.
Valensa also did not get too close to the nobles of Kraal City as before, nor did she have any quarrels with them.
She actually has a pretty good reputation among many elders and women of the same age, but she also offends almost all men of the same age... almost everyone gnashes their teeth and salivates when they mention her.
However, this should also be the last time Valencia attends the aristocratic gathering in Krall City. She will go to the War College later, and the social networking and connections that she really needs to manage well are in the royal capital.
After the aristocratic gathering, Melina went to the Adventurer's Guild to handle her transfer procedures, while Valencia took the appointment letter that she had received long ago and attended the auction of the Nora Chamber of Commerce in Krall City.
"Huh? Is it Miss Bardell? Are you coming to the auction too? Do you want to come with us?"
Valencia originally just wanted to find a corner at the auction site and leave immediately after successfully buying the magic shield scroll.
After all, her funds were limited, and seeing the other things she wanted but not being able to buy was probably as uncomfortable as the men looking at her but not being able to get close to her.
Unexpectedly, she ran into an acquaintance who was chatting and laughing at the party just now... They were several noble ladies who were very interested in her experience as an adventurer, and they invited her to sit in the VIP box with them.
"……it is good."
Valencia hesitated for a few seconds, but still did not refuse.
Because she saw many aristocratic young men who had approached her at the party but were rejected ruthlessly. If she acted alone, she would probably be entangled by them again. In comparison, those aristocratic ladies were easier to deal with.
"Miss Bader!"
As soon as she entered the VIP box, the aristocratic ladies immediately surrounded Valensa, sharing various fruit pastries with her and chirping:
"This is the first time I've seen you at an auction... You're here to buy dresses and jewelry too? The red dress you wore two days ago was very beautiful... Can you help me pick one out, too?"
"Hmph, you idiot must have guessed wrong!"
Another noble lady immediately laughed at her companion:
"Do you think Miss Bader will be like you and think about seducing men all day long? People come to the auction to buy weapons and armor so that they can kill monsters handsomely in the jungle!"
"cut."
The aristocratic lady who wanted Valencia to help pick out a dress immediately retorted:
"What's wrong with me, I just like to dress up and seduce men? It's better than you, a fool, who likes to be crazy about Miss Bardell... Miss Bardell is indeed beautiful and handsome, but she is also a woman. Is it possible that you can still marry her?" she?"
"you……!"
The two little best friends, who actually had a good relationship, immediately started fighting. You pinched me and I grabbed you. They also soon involved several other aristocratic ladies, and there was a constant flash of light in the box.
"alright……"
Seeing that some aristocratic ladies began to rub themselves against her by playing with her best friends, Valensa pretended not to avoid them and stuck to them a few times, while reorganizing the order in a graceful manner:
"Actually, you all guessed wrong... I am attending the auction this time not to buy dress jewelry, nor weapons and armor, but to buy a magic shield scroll."
"Magic Shield Scroll?" xN
As expected, the curiosity of the noble ladies was aroused all of a sudden. They stopped fighting and gathered around Valencia like stars holding the moon, with their faces full of expectation:
"Why do you want to buy this, Miss Bader? Is it possible that some dangerous monster has appeared in the jungle over in Serjin Town, and it can only be conquered with the help of the magic shield scroll?"
"more or less."
Valencia raised the corner of her mouth, smiled enigmatically, and started to blow half-truths:
"If you are well-informed, you may have heard about it... Half a month ago, a powerful wing-blade falcon came up on the cliff north of Serjin Town. Ordinary adventurers could not do anything about it. The pedestrians and caravans passing by We should also avoid its activity areas, which has caused great inconvenience to the lives of the townspeople."
"Wingblade Falcon? I know, I know, I heard my idiot brother talk about it."
Immediately, a noble lady jumped twice excitedly:
"I heard from my brother that the Wing Blade Falcon is very powerful. The Adventurer's Guild offered a bounty of 200 gold coins for its crusade mission... Even our Krall City has many adventurers trying it, and the result is But no one succeeded, and some were injured or even lost their lives!”
"Wow……"
All the noble ladies lamented the power and terror of the Winged Blade Falcon, and were also worried about Valencia:
"Since this monster is so ferocious, Miss Bader, why don't you... be more careful?"
"The Wing Blade Falcon is indeed powerful, but if I can buy a magic shield scroll, I'm still confident."
Valencia became more righteous and awe-inspiring, perfectly interpreting the image of a noble and heroic female knight:
"As a nobleman living in Serkin Town, I have the obligation to solve the problems of the townspeople. This is the glory of the nobles in my eyes! And if a mere monster makes me afraid of moving forward, how can I go to the War College and graduate? Guarding Fran?"
Handsome, so handsome!
Several noble ladies who had never seen such a noble woman were all jealous, and some even subconsciously rubbed their legs.
"Ugh...Why aren't you a man, Miss Bader! Then I can marry you...What a pity!"
Some people directly held Valencia's arm and expressed their feelings.
"Actually..."
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, the seriousness on Valencia's face suddenly changed again, and she smiled a bit evilly:
"It's true that women can't get married at the moment, but they just can't get married... There is a special tavern in the royal capital of Frank City that only accepts female customers, and the waiters inside are all beauties."
"Hey?"
The eyes of several border aristocratic ladies who had never seen much of the world were wide-eyed, their faces were red, and their breathing became even more rapid:
"Miss Bader, you mean... girls can also be with girls... that?"
"can."
Valencia nodded heavily as if it were natural:
"And I think it's more comfortable for girls to have an intimate relationship with each other than to fall in love with a man... After all, most of those stinky men only think in terms of the following. How do they know how to cherish women? On the contrary, it is easier for girls to understand each other and understand each other." So considerate~~.”
"Yes... is it?"
The noble ladies' faces turned even redder, and they stuttered a little when they spoke, but their eyes were full of excitement.
Some of them looked at Valencia steadily, some of the best friends were looking at each other, and some of them were looking at me, you were looking at her, and she was looking at me, playing a triangle loop.
Chapter 31 The eldest lady wants a new dress, but can’t afford it
Boom boom boom!
Just as the atmosphere in the VIP box at the auction house where Valencia was sitting was getting more and more weird, a banging sound suddenly sounded in the center of the venue, making the noble girls in the room tremble.
"Huh?~~."
The most unbearable noble girl even let out a moan and was about to fall down as soon as her body went limp.
Fortunately, there was a candlelight-level female knight who was good at agility in the room. Valencia had quick eyesight and quick hands, and she caught the noble girl who was about to fall in time.
Unexpectedly, the noble girl secretly showed a sly look to her companions, and then stayed in Valencia's arms.
Ah this...
Of course, Valensa also saw the sly eyes of the girl in her arms. After a moment of hesitation, she planned to help the girl to a chair next to her to keep her distance. However, when she did so, she suddenly felt a shock in her leg ring. Dimension Hardware Store Member Terminal Interface The number of blind box draws in the lower right corner is actually +1.
Emmm...
Valencia immediately changed her mind and simply sat down on the chair with her arms around the girl.
The girl's eyes were filled with joy, and she immediately wanted to stick closer to her, but Valencia made no move and just told everyone that the auction was about to begin.
Boom boom boom!
The second round of hammer hammering also happened to sound at this time, and the originally dark center of the auction room was suddenly enveloped by the light emitted by the light attribute magic crystal, just like the stage spotlight in Valencia's previous life.
A tall, plump beauty with long purple hair stood there, wearing a gorgeous black dress with low collar and high slits, holding a wooden chaser. She was the famous beauty auctioneer of Nola Chamber of Commerce.
Although the aristocratic girls in the box were still very concerned about what had just happened, they were gradually brought back to their attention by the beautiful auctioneer's charming opening remarks, and gradually focused on the auction.
The auction officially started not long after, and one item after another was displayed on the stage, and was bid for by the guests in the venue.
Krall City is just a small border town of the Kingdom of France, so there will naturally be no such priceless rare treasures in the auction.
The consumers of most goods are local nobles, mainly for beautiful clothes, gorgeous jewelry and various works of art. Occasionally, senior adventurers will also buy high-quality weapons.
The aristocratic girls in the box will ask Valencia for her opinion when beautiful dresses and jewelry appear. As long as Valencia approves, they will bid without hesitation.
There were even two best friends who almost bit each other over a necklace. In the end, Valensa asked them to use rock-paper-scissors to decide who owned the necklace, so that they would not regret it later.
After about two hours of this, Valencia's goal tonight - the one-time magic shield scroll finally appeared, with a starting price of 40 gold coins.
If this kind of product were placed in a northern city, it would definitely be a hot commodity, but not in Kraal City.
The environment in Kraer City is too comfortable, and the nobles' self-defense tools have no chance to be consumed, so there is no need to replenish them.
A few adventurers were also very interested in the magic shield scroll, and they made several bids, which made Valensa, who was not wealthy, grit her teeth.
The noble ladies who discovered this would certainly not miss the opportunity. They looked at each other and immediately contacted their attendants to put pressure on the adventurers in the name of the family, forcing them to withdraw from the bidding.
Although this method is a bit disgraceful, it is still very effective... Those adventurers who wanted the magic shield scroll chose to give in.
In the end, the transaction price of the magic shield scroll only cost Valencia 75 gold coins, allowing her to save a small amount of money to buy more things.
Valencia did not pretend to be a gesture, and expressed her gratitude to the noble girls generously.
She not only talked the talk, but also took action... In the auctions that followed, she would carefully give suggestions based on the popular standards of the royal capital for every product that the noble girls were interested in.
The noble girls were also very happy, and the box was suddenly filled with a joyful atmosphere.
"this is……"
Suddenly, Valencia's eyes became intense, and she was firmly attracted by the new auction items on the stage.
It was a very beautiful long blue dress, decorated with a lot of ribbons, with an opening under the bow tie. The front of the skirt was very short, but the sides and back hems reached to the bare feet, and it had multiple layers of pleats.
Generally speaking, it is very close to the Victorian-style long dress that Valencia wore in her previous life, and it is also her favorite dress style.
She really wanted to buy this long blue dress, but she was so short of money that she could only bite her lip unwillingly.
The other aristocratic ladies who saw all this did not laugh at Valencia's poverty. Instead, they were racking their brains to think of ways...how to wear this dress without hurting Valencia's self-esteem. Take a photo of the skirt and give it to her.
dong dong dong.
The beautiful auctioneer also tapped the wood at this time to let everyone concentrate:
"Dear guests...especially all the beautiful ladies, don't miss this next auction item? It is one of the latest works by a famous designer in the royal capital. Wearing it will definitely make you capture many A man’s heart!”
Bursts of smiling whispers circulated throughout the venue.
