Start at Marvel's Hogwarts Hoo

Chapter 23 Downton Abbey

"name."

"Master Franklin."

"American?"

"Of course not, British wizard." The tall and thin Master took out the auction invitation from his pocket. On it was a golden auction hammer that was constantly beating and the introduction of today's lot. "Franklin family, don't you know?" Man."

"Oh, okay, Mr. Franklin... the dining table is in the garden, just go straight. The largest villa is the auction hall tonight... there is still half an hour before the auction starts."

The man in a tuxedo standing by the door stepped forward and invited Master in.

"I hope you get something out of it."

"Thank you..."

Walking along the manor path lined with gorgeous lampposts, I met many wizards with different shapes and costumes along the way.

"This is so lively..."

Master did not stop in the garden... although the food there smelled really delicious, but he did not dare to forget the mission assigned by his family.

The elixir of the auction list... that's the highlight of the day.

After asking the wizard guarding the door of the venue to check the invitation again, Master walked into the venue.

The rows of red chairs were filled with wizards, and the crowds of people could be vaguely seen in the boxes covered by red curtains. Dazzling crystal lamps hung from the high domes... The lights hit the reliefs on both sides. This makes the relief sculptures of various shapes even more difficult to appreciate.

Under the guidance of the tuxedo wizard, he found his box on the second floor.

The private rooms are not exclusive to each family. After all, the wizards who came today are not short of representatives of magical families from other countries who were extradited by the Gringotts goblins, and there are only thirty private rooms.

There were five small tables distributed in the box, four of which were already occupied. He walked towards the empty one, and sure enough, there was a table card with the surname Franklin on it.

But...the one next to them is the Wick family?I've never heard of this family. Are they from other countries?Why is there a child waiting in line?

Master calmly looked at the slightly cute-looking boy at the next table... He really couldn't match him with the descendants of pure-blood families he knew.

The boy sat upright, stroking the handle of the teacup with one hand in boredom. The sapphire ring on his middle finger shone brightly under the light.

The elegant dress, gold-rimmed glasses, and the servants behind him who are always ready for instructions...the standard style of a pure-blood family.

The view in the box was not very good. The red curtain blocked more than half of the originally open view. When Master was sitting, he could not see what was going on below at all.

Moreover, what is this... They actually built a black stone wall that looked like marble in front of the box?Master looked at the "wall" in front of the box that was nearly as wide as the entire box and as high as the box fence in confusion.

"That's an LCD screen, which is connected to the camera on the auction table, allowing us to observe the condition of the items more clearly."

"Forehead…"

"Oh, you can think of the camera as the newspaper's camera, and the display screen as the newspaper's page... except that the two are transmitted in real time, and the images are also in color."

"I probably understand...how to call him? Mr. Little Sir."

"John Wick, Mr. Franklin."

John stood up and shook Master's hand.

"Master Franklin." Master sat back and sipped the wine glass carefully, "Which country are you from?"

"Like you, native British."

"But, I haven't heard of it...Oh, you guys are really amazing." Master softly admired that a new family could sit in the box today...this really has to be admired.

"It's okay, it's just that we have items for auction today."

"Oh? What is it?"

"An old medicine."

The lights dimmed, and the display screen in front of the box suddenly lit up. The picture inside was the auction table downstairs and the goblin auctioneer wearing a single-sided glasses.

"Oh...that's really cool."

This is much more comfortable than using a telescope before.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Downton Abbey!"

The lights in the hall gradually went out, leaving only one beam shining on the goblin and the auction table.

"Thank you to the Wick family for providing the venue and some of the auction items... I believe that from today on, this will become the largest auction house in the wizarding world!"

It was Segel's idea to join forces with the goblins.

John originally thought of pulling some random treasures from Lao Ge's vault to warm up the place, and they would organize the auction themselves. Fortunately, Segel gave him this idea, otherwise all the wizards who came today would be British wizards. , and people from 28 will definitely jump out and lower the price when the time comes.

There is no way, after all, the Wick family is just a little-known family, and it does not have the reputation and connections that the fairies have for thousands of years.

However, it is not a bad thing to partner with the Goblins of Gringotts. At least the Downton Abbey in John's hands will be the top auction house in the industry in the future, and in every subsequent auction, Gringotts will extradite wizards from other countries. Come and participate.

The price is only fifteen bottles of life potion, a long-term lease of one of Gringotts' highest-level vaults, and half of the revenue from each auction.

Obviously, the group of goblins wanted to analyze the life potion in John's hand... but John was not too worried about this matter. After all, it was produced by the system, so there should be no need to worry about being cracked.

"Let's take a look at the first auction item...an ancient wand provided by the Ollivander family." The goblin lifted the red cloth on the auction table, and a wand with a unique shape and simple material appeared in front of everyone. "14 inches long, fir wood, the inner core is a part of a unicorn horn... It can sort out the magic in the body of the holder of the staff, slightly increasing the power of the spell... The starting price is 100 Galleons, and each increase must not exceed ten Galleons. …”

Noisy bidding began below, but there was no movement in the private room upstairs.

"Sounds pretty awesome...don't you want to take a photo of it?" John turned his head and asked Master curiously. Except for the life potion, the rest of today's auctions were all contacted by the goblins...To be honest, he was I was quite moved when I saw this wand and its introduction... Of course, that was before I saw the review given by Gringotts Goblins.

"It's too weak. All it takes is a disarming spell to make it bow... not to mention there will be even better auction items later, right?"

As expected of the 28th family, his eyes are vicious.The review given by Gringotts is that it is too easy to change owners, or in other words, every creature that can use magic can become its owner... This situation even occurs when its original owner has not died or been defeated. Down.

The fir wand was finally taken away by an American wizard... which caused Master to sneer.

"Stupid Yankee."

The auction proceeds slowly, and each item appears and disappears suddenly under the influence of magic power... The wizards organize auctions to save trouble.

Gradually, the auction came to an end. The people sitting in the box all leaned forward involuntarily, and Master also looked like he was determined to win... They stayed here all night just for this next... Elixir.

"Next will be the highlight of today...I believe that many of you are here because of him." The goblin held a corner of the red cloth with his hand, and tried his best to imitate the seductive tone in his sharp voice, "United by the Wizengamot It has been certified by the Wizards Association and can use human power to resist time. It is a rare miracle in a thousand years and leaked from the fingers of the gods...the elixir."

The air pressure in the auction hall became heavier. Both the box and the hall below were very quiet. There was no sound in the entire venue except for the heavy breathing... Everyone was staring at the red cloth in the goblin's hand. Without him, they all wanted to see what the potion that could restore vitality looked like.

"It can reverse the effects of time for you and restore 5.00% of your vitality..." The elf auctioneer put down the red cloth in his hand and knocked on the auction table with a hammer. "Perhaps you don't quite understand... Assuming you can live normally When you are 200 years old, that bottle of elixir will allow you to live 10 more years... And such a potion can be taken five times in a lifetime..."

The people in the audience took a deep breath of air... Those five bottles will give you 50 more years of life?

"This is the first auction since Downton Abbey was built. Our organizer, Mr. Wick, decided to give us a big benefit... He decided to release all the elixirs in his hands, five bottles in each group, seven in total. Group...let us cheer for Mr. Wick's generosity!" The goblin pointed his finger at the box where John was.

Although the people sitting below could not see what was going on in the private room, this did not affect their cheers at all.The people in the box also turned around and greeted John with surprised expressions... They had already noticed the combination of an old man and a young man when they came in, but due to their pure-blood upbringing, they could not rush up to inquire.

"The starting price for each group is ten thousand Galleons, and each bid increase must not be less than one thousand Galleons... Friends, what we are bidding on now is life span... Don't be merciful." The goblin auctioneer simply pulled off the red cloth and revealed 35 bottles filled with a magnificent red liquid that looks like blood.

The bottle cap was carved into a ferocious dragon that coiled around the mouth of the bottle. Under the sole light in the room, the magnificent blood-red color exuded a charming light, like a magic potion that would drive people crazy just by looking at it.

"The Hammurabi family offered fifty thousand gold galleons!"

At some point, a goblin walked into each box... They wore single-sided glasses and had philistine faces. They stood in the space left for them when the display screen was installed in front of the box fence, replacing the family members in the box. the representative shouted.

"The Mosirefa family offered eighty thousand gold galleons!"

Went through several more rounds of offers.

Whenever the wizard in the box wants to bid, he only needs to inform the goblin in front of the box in a low voice, and he will quote the price in a loud voice on behalf of the family representatives... After all, shouting at the neck is not the demeanor of a pure blood. .

"The Carlo family offers ninety thousand gold galleons!"

Haha...waiting for one.
