Chapter 125 King City
Goss hurried back to Saltpeter Town, transported the transparent glass back to his home, and then went to the director of the local auction house angrily, begging him to hold an auction immediately to sell the glass he brought.

"Goss, you know that every auction takes a while to prepare. An auction just ended three days ago, and the next auction will be in a week and a half. No matter how urgent you are, you can't push it ahead of time." The auctioneer said The lion president shook his head and politely refused.

Goss was very angry, but there was nothing he could do. It was impossible for the auction to start temporarily a week and a half earlier because of the strong request of a noble.

"Actually, I can barely help a day or two in advance, but the cost is very high. Why don't you hold a small auction within the family yourself." The president proposed a compromise.

Small auctions are naturally possible, but in terms of influence and formality, they are not as powerful as bi-weekly auctions, and they cannot raise as much money.

But this is also a way. Goss sent more than a dozen invitations to the nobles in Saltpeter Town, inviting them to participate in tomorrow's auction.

Time is running out, but this is the maximum deadline that Goss can fight for.

He knew that the auction in Wangcheng was about to start tomorrow, and in terms of the efficiency of message transmission, Nitpeter Town was definitely behind, so he could guarantee that the price of the first pot of gold in the transparent glass wine glass would be high enough.

……

after one day.

A group of horse-drawn carriages ushered in outside Lionheart King City. The city wall of King City was very tall, second only to Moonlight Valley in height.

The wall was built 100 years ago. Due to the backward technology and the poor quality of the bricks and stones fired a hundred years ago, the city wall of Wangcheng is now facing various "geriatric diseases".

The walls were soft and peeled off layer by layer, some walls were weathered, some walls were bulging, and some wall sections had dozens of vertical cracks.

The curtains of the convoy were lifted, revealing a mature woman with cat ears.

She is wearing a casual cotton white home short-sleeved dress. As one of the image representatives of Tomorrow Town, she is leading the female class of Tomorrow Town into the beauty stage.

In addition to the two awakened cat clan awakeners, the orcs sitting in the carriage also have a newly promoted girl from the fox clan, who is similar to Marianne in terms of appearance and appearance.

"Sister Marianne, this wall is so old, it feels like it's about to fall down." The little fox sat in the carriage for six or seven days, and his butt hurt from sitting.

I didn't expect Wangcheng to be so far away. The little fox lady from Fox Village had a bitter face. It was her first time to travel far. Since she was caught by Marianne when she was applying for a businessman, she got on a boat and headed north, and then took a detour through the road from Silver City. Go to Wangcheng.

"I heard that Wangcheng is working on a proposal to rebuild the city wall, but it has not been passed."

"why?"

"Because it costs too much, no one wants to pay for it. It's a shame that you are still a trainee businessman. Why didn't you even think of this." Marian scratched the little fox's nose with her hand.

The eyes of the two cat-eared orcs who accompanied them were a little wandering. They didn't dare to look at them, so they could only climb out of the car and follow them.

After being inspected by the guards of the royal city, the cloth transported by rows of horse-drawn carts successfully passed the customs, and the glass bottles were mixed among the cloth, and no guards noticed.

After successfully passing through the city gate, Marianne immediately contacted a merchant in the royal city and asked him to arrange a spot for her in the royal city auction.

As for how Marianne knew people, of course it was because of the cheap cloth business.

Marianne can be said to be the fastest-growing female orc in Tomorrow Town. After being developed by Allen, her business methods are soaring every day. The developed contacts have extended to the Royal City, which happens to be in line with the Assassin intelligence organization. intelligence network.

Due to the expansion of the intelligence network, Tomorrow Town began to recruit pigeons again, but the orcs did not need to do this hard work themselves, and the pigeons would recruit new partners into the pit by themselves.

Two in the afternoon.

The Lionheart Royal Auction in Wangcheng was officially opened, and all the guests were either rich and powerful nobles, or wealthy businessmen from the invincible town, and small-capital businessmen didn't even have the threshold to enter.

With her connections, Marian managed to sneak into the common seating area, and the seats were all distinguished nobles.

The auction here has private rooms on the second floor, and there are only five private rooms on the second floor, all of which are used by royal members.

Fortunately, the standard of the Royal Auction is very high, and one person can bring a guard and a maid inside. Marianne is waiting for her auction item to appear in the standing area.

Standing for a moment, Marianne heard the whispers of other orcs.

They come from all over the country, and there are countless gossips, which may contain some important news. Marianne raised her cat ears, listened carefully to the conversation of the orcs next to her, and secretly remembered the major events that happened in Lionheart.

The guards who followed had attended Allen's intelligence collection class, intelligence classification class, etc., giving priority to evaluating the importance of each gossip, and focusing on listening to useful things.

These things are not necessarily big things, a trivial thing may be the result of the political operation behind Wangcheng.

"You are merchants in Moonlight Valley, how is Moonlight Valley doing recently?"

"Hey, stop talking, those tauren are determined to stay in Moonlight Valley."

"Won't the army of the kingdom attack in? I remember that the walls of Moonlight Valley were broken."

"It was indeed broken, but the kingdom's troops are insufficient. Most of the templars are still recovering from their injuries. They can't move for the time being. They can only stare at the door..."

The assassin's ear twitched slightly, and he heard another orc talking about Tomorrowtown.

"Tomorrow Town is really audacious. I heard that it is the stronghold of the anti-lion faction. After the lion soldiers regain Moonlight Valley, they will definitely use it to attack."

"In my opinion, Tomorrow Town is a scam. Have you seen anyone who has been to Tomorrow Town? Maybe it's the anti-lion faction's tricks. It's impossible for them to expose the real base camp..."

In addition to these military intelligence, the Assassins also heard industrial type information.

This type of intelligence is as important as military intelligence. Familiarity with the opponent's industrial level and finding out whether the opponent has invented gunpowder weapons are the next key directions for the intelligence organization.

"Why didn't the broken wall be repaired, and the golden dragon was smashed into some kind of waterwheel and hammer machine?"

"No way, the tauren's combat power in heavy armor is much stronger than that of our lion clan. The old king wanted to make more powerful steel, so he had to spend money on research."

As the assassin listened, he brainstormed the prototype of the hammer machine.

"Could it be a hydraulic boring machine?" The assassin had secretly glanced at the hydraulic boring machine in Tomorrow Town, and heard that Allen and a group of blacksmiths used the hydraulic boring machine to make a powerful steam engine.

This step requires the use of the power of the goddess of water. The assassin does not know when the opponent will transform the forging lathe into a boring machine, which is always an unclear signal.

After listening for a while, when the auction started, everyone's discussion slowly subsided, and all eyes turned to the items on the auction platform.
