The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

When Windmill River Bay holds an auction, it will naturally notify the big money sponsor, Cotton.

After taking a picture of a rather useful loom, Carton went up to the second floor and sat next to Grand Duke Feng.

In terms of blood relationship, Carton should call Duke Feng uncle. When Carton lived in the royal capital, he often visited the Feng family.

"Uncle Feng, long time no see, you are still so majestic~"

There were two women following Carton, one of them was the maid Shimanda, and the other was wearing a mask. She just nodded to Grand Duke Feng and sat aside in a haughty manner.

Others may not recognize her, but Grand Duke Feng could tell at a glance that the person wearing the mask was Carton's sister, Freyr Lian.

Since his little niece didn't want to talk to him, Mr. Feng pretended not to see her.

Grand Duke Feng is now even more curious. His little nephew, Carton, seems to have become different.

"I didn't expect you to do well in the North."

"That's right, that's right~ I didn't expect that I would encounter opportunities by seeking refuge here."

Katon's natural look made Duke Feng feel very comfortable.

At the same time, Katon's natural appearance also made Duke Feng very uncomfortable.

A little boy who used to only dare to stay in the corner and shiver is now sitting with him, the old grand duke.

The equal exchange made Duke Feng's aristocratic blood feel threatened.

Duke Feng also secretly sighed, wondering why there were no such talents among his descendants.

"Carton, did you deliberately organize this auction for me to see?"

A cold low pressure was released from Duke Feng.

Carton knew that if he gave a random answer, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction from Grand Duke Feng.

Carton subconsciously turned his gaze towards his sister, only to find that she ignored him completely.

Carton had no choice but to deal with it on his own.

"No, uncle. I just received an invitation from Miss Lucy three days ago to attend the auction. Because I didn't have much time to prepare, I don't even know what will be sold at this auction."

Grand Duke Feng gave Carton a look that said, "Do you think I believe it?"

"It's true. And I'm not the only one who's not prepared."

As soon as Carton finished speaking, Lucy, who was hosting the auction, got so excited that the copper hammer in her hand broke.

Lucy stood on the stage with a red face, and the assistant hurried back to the castle and got a wooden hammer as a replacement.

The panic and laughter below were not for the show, and Mr. Feng could tell that very clearly.

Grand Duke Feng looked at Carton with a puzzled look, and even turned half of his body to the side.

"How dare you do this? Aren't you afraid of messing up everything?"

As a veteran Grand Duke, Grand Duke Feng simply couldn't believe that a group of young people would dare to take risks with something that had no guarantee.

In the royal capital, common people have their own rules, and nobles have their own rules.

Once someone's behavior goes beyond the rules, he will definitely be criticized.

Being rebuked, he turned against Tiangang, and rites and music collapsed.

Seeing Duke Feng's look of disbelief, Carton became as happy as a child.

Cotton seemed happy as if he had shocked his elders by what he had done.

"Uncle, you have also seen that the factories, workers, merchants and businesses, tools, transportation, and even communication in the North are changing with each passing day. These are all new things and have never been tested before, but what can we do about it~"

New things create new wealth, which attracts everyone.

They may have hidden dangers or drawbacks, but the emergence of new things brings vitality and vigor.

"No, no, no, this is not right. If you act recklessly like this, it will definitely cause chaos, and you will suffer the consequences in the end!"

Seeing that Duke Feng was confused but still emphasized the old rules and regulations, Carton gave Duke Feng a hard tug on his reason.

"Uncle, isn't it the same in war? Our enemies never wait until we are ready before attacking. When you organize counterattacks and sneak attacks, you don't wait until everything is ready before attacking. Every time you command and charge, you are refreshing the kingdom's military textbooks. As an innovator, are you warning everyone to follow your old ways in the future?"

Grand Duke Feng's pupils suddenly shrank. He saw the enthusiasm and ambition of a young man in Carton.

At the same time, Carton's answer also sounded the alarm in Grand Duke Feng's heart.

Yes, when Duke Feng was fighting on the battlefield, he never followed any rules. He would do anything as long as he could win.

However, when testing his subordinates and descendants, Duke Feng would take out books as a standard and tell them what they did not do well here and what they did wrong there.

Those young people may have made mistakes, but is it really a mistake not to follow fixed standards?

Grand Duke Feng fell into deep thought, while Carton proudly raised his chin in the direction of his sister.

Not getting a response from his sister, Carton turned his attention back to the auction.

There really are a lot of good things popping up in the North lately, and Carton is struggling between wanting them and feeling sorry for his own little treasury.

Carton's action of waving the sign back and forth finally drew back the attention of Grand Duke Feng.

"Next! We will bid on one of the finale items of this auction, a glass factory in the suburbs of Windmill River Bay provided by Grand Duke Feng!"

The news that Duke Feng was going to sell the glass factory had already spread throughout Hewan, and all the businessmen and nobles who came today knew the inside story.

Many people come here for this glass factory.

“Before the bidding begins, we would like to introduce the value of this glass factory to provide a reference for bidders.”

Lucy has gradually mastered the rhythm of the auction, and the tone of her voice is becoming more and more touching.

"This glass factory was one of the first factories built in Fengchehewan. The glass it produced supported the initial greenhouse construction in Fengchehewan. It can be said that without this glass factory, Fengchehewan would have collapsed in the winter!"

Lucy fully affirmed the historical value and social status of the glass factory.

"Inside the glass factory, there were the earliest industrial equipment and boilers, and they were staffed by the most down-to-earth, hard-working, and simple workers!"

Lucy fully affirmed the production capacity of the glass factory, believing that as long as it was managed by someone knowledgeable in the field, it would surely be able to make a profit quickly.

"Now that winter is almost over, the land will gradually thaw and spring sowing will begin in various places. In addition to normal sowing, the greenhouse economy in the north will surely attract people from the surrounding areas to invest in construction!"

Businessmen, including farmers, are sensitive.

Greenhouses in the north are a good thing, and people in other regions will definitely increase their demand for glass.

This means that glass will be a hot commodity in the next few years!

After listening to Lucy's introduction, everyone was eager to try.

Duke Feng even felt a strong sense of regret.

"I don't want to sell it anymore, stop this auction!"

In the face of the crazy good news, Duke Feng’s shouts were directly drowned out.

Duke Feng did not lose money, he sold the glass factory at an incredible price.

Ten thousand gold coins!

When there were ten thousand gold coins in front of Duke Feng, he felt like he was floating in the clouds, without any sense of reality.

Ten thousand gold coins is a really big pile.

But when Duke Feng looked at the mountain of gold in front of him, his heart was bleeding.

He lost money, he definitely lost money!
