Valkyrie Europa

Chapter 58 D'Artagnan's Firmness

After everyone tasted the exquisite breakfast, the Paris Winter Auctions began.

In the gorgeous and spacious hall, there are rows of carved seats wrapped in velvet, but the front row is more sparsely arranged, and the rear row is more compact.

The seats in the front row belonged to the earls and their peers, while the seats in the back row belonged to the minor nobles and warriors with lower titles.

As for the marquis, the duke, and even the prince, they have private rooms on the second floor, where they can commandeer and overlook the entire venue. This is a privilege that only belongs to the superiors.

Under the guidance of the attendants, everyone walked into the venue and were taken to their seats.

As the head of the earl's family, Miss Sophie was placed in the middle of the first row.

Originally, there should be two mature and prudent old earls on both sides of her, but under the strong negotiation of a certain musketeer, Miss Sophie's ears began to linger in endlessly sweet words.

"Sophie, do you have any fancy targets?"

"If you want something, you can tell me, and I can help you take pictures."

"Don't look at me as a musketeer now, but I still have some savings."

"The last time His Majesty the Emperor summoned me, he rewarded me with a lot of good things. I have kept them all the time. There seems to be a nice necklace in it. Someday I will show it to you?"

"Oh, I don't like jewelry. Sophie, you practice swords. Wait, if you have a good stabbing sword, I'll buy it for you, okay?"

"I don't mean anything else, I just heard that giving girls gifts can enhance their relationship."

"I am, I just like you so much, I'm so excited, I'm sorry, I know you like to be independent and rely on yourself, but it's good to have a strong person for you to rely on."

"Well, although I'm really not strong enough now, I will work hard. Sophie, please believe me."

"Ding", a small golden bell was rung, and the first stage of the auction began.

The first thing to be shown is a huge battle axe.

"This battle ax is a new work of Master Owen. It took two years to complete. This battle ax has a straight handle, the handle is 1 meters long, and the blade is crescent-shaped. The blade is 4 meters long and weighs 0.9 kilograms. It has anti-slip texture, and the surface of the ax has the iconic concave blood groove of Master Owen. It has an excellent effect when matched with any ax martial arts. The reserve price is 45, and the minimum price increase is 5 each time. The auction starts now!" With the auction The wooden hammer fell, and the bidding began.

"6!" As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone called for the price.

"7!" The asking price was a strong man with a big beard.

"I pay 7!" Another man like a tower shouted
"10, I'll offer 10." It was a petite lady who spoke.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

"Okay, Viscount Bobby bid 10, is there any increase? Okay, once for 10, twice for 10." The auctioneer in the tuxedo shouted loudly.

"11!" The bearded strong man said again with a bitter face.

"12!" The lady did not give in.

In the end, this terrifying giant ax was still taken into the pocket of the noble lady.

Then a few paintings and a few pieces of jewelry were auctioned off, most of which were taken by the little nobles sitting in the back row. The earls in the front row rarely bid, and the box on the top floor was always quiet, without any sound out.

There were several boxes of healing medicine and plasters behind them, and Miss Sophie also took a box of them.

Then there were two books on display: "Inheritance-level marksmanship, including the original "Hook and Sickle Riding Spear Technique" and the new and improved version "Fifteen Unique Skills for Using Barbed Special Rifle Lances". For anything missing, the base price is 3, with a minimum increase of 1000 each time, and the auction starts now!"

"4!" Someone bid.

"4." The competition is not fierce.

"5." Miss Sophie said lightly.

"5!" Someone refused to give up.

"7." Miss Sophie's voice was still calm, but the price increase was huge.

The audience was silent, and after three confirmations, the wooden hammer fell, and this marksmanship was acquired by Miss Sophie.

"Sophie, what are you buying this marksmanship for? This hook and sickle is very unpopular, few people practice it, and it's not worth 7 at all." D'Artagnan expressed his puzzlement.

"I bought it for my subordinates to practice." Miss Sophie didn't say much.

As the auction continued, d'Artagnan found that Miss Sophie's "subordinates" were really talented and talented, and it was extremely strange that there were people practicing all kinds of unpopular martial arts.

However, in one morning, Miss Sophie swept through 23 various martial arts cheat books, and wrapped up all the martial arts cheat books in the auction, and didn't give any of them to anyone else.

During the lunch break at noon, d'Artagnan still couldn't help asking: "Sophie, why do you buy so many martial arts cheats? Many of these are useless, and many of the prices are already inflated. You Still robbing them, isn’t that a waste of money.”

"I spend my own money, don't worry about it!" Miss Sophie said she was very angry, and turned her head to leave.

"That's not what I mean, I am." D'Artagnan was about to step forward to explain, but was stopped by a pair of big hands.

It was the tall and strong Pordos, his face was full of frost, his eyes widened, and he questioned: "I think, I need an explanation, Miss Irina said that you ran off to flirt with other women in the middle of the conversation, Leave her aside, what's going on?"

"I don't care about her at all, I just like Sophie!" D'Artagnan explained without being afraid of the provocative gaze.

"Is that woman just now Sophie from Marceau's family? She is indeed a stunner." Portos rubbed his chin.

"In short, I just like Sophie. I don't like any duke's beloved daughter or a famous lady. I want to deal with emotional matters by myself, so I don't bother you, Mr. Sharpshooter Martial Saint. I will apologize to Miss Irina and make it clear. " D'Artagnan's tone was very firm, and he turned to leave.

"I don't agree." Portos said coldly.

"What?" d'Artagnan turned around.

"That woman is not simple. Sophie from Marceau's family is not as pure and beautiful as you seem. I don't agree with you being with her." Portos' tone was very strong.

"What do you mean, what's not simple? Isn't it just the count's daughter in a remote town?" D'Artagnan asked back.

"Oh, you boy, you just don't care about politics. Their family is not just an earl. The things inside are very complicated. I will tell you slowly later. But no matter what, I don't want you to continue to have things with her What does it matter, you are our three most promising seedlings, you will have a great future, and you should not be stained with these hard-to-wash stains, do you understand?" Portos said earnestly.

D'Artagnan fell silent for a moment.He looked around and saw Miss Sophie standing in a corner far away, her figure was a little lonely.

After hesitating for a while, D'Artagnan withdrew his gaze.

"I'm not afraid! I don't care about these political issues or stains. I like Sophie, I love her, and I want her to be my wife! This is my biggest dream now! No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, I I will never give up!" D'Artagnan raised his head, his eyes full of unparalleled firmness.
