My Magic Age

Chapter 841 342. Lively Auction

There were a few faint clouds floating in the sky, and the sea-blue sky was washed extremely clear by a heavy rain.

There was no wind, and people stood on the street like a steamer, with the heat wave hitting their faces, but everyone's enthusiasm did not diminish at all, and they flocked to the square building like a sea wave.

Only at this time did you realize that there were really not many nobles in the imperial capital. In the crowded crowd, the servants were pushing and pushing, trying to open a way for their masters, but they found that they were surrounded by nobles. The nobles became helpless.

Dozens of gorgeous magic caravans congested Fourth Street. This bustling street was usually bustling with traffic and pedestrians, and it happened to be the day of the summer auction. At the entrance of the auction house, nobles from various districts in the imperial capital gathered, as well as businessmen who came from all over the country. Everyone held their tickets high in their hands, and the attendants and waiters around them tried their best to squeeze through a passage and enter smoothly. The auction house made the already chaotic scene even more out of control.

Looking up at this huge square building nearly 100 meters high, it looks extremely majestic. According to Noah, this building, which is as big as a football field, is divided into five floors. Each floor has a relatively independent auction hall. Around the main building Surrounded by 108 stone pillars nearly 100 meters high, it is difficult to imagine those How did the circular stone pillars with a diameter of more than three meters be erected? There are very complete and exquisite reliefs on the high dome. After years of wind and rain, the exposed stones of the entire building have been rusted. The entire exterior wall of the building is covered with mottled rust spreading from the cracks in the stone.

The Fifth District is the area with the richest nightlife in the Imperial City. In addition to auction houses, it is also lined with various grand and luxurious buildings, such as the Arena, Opera House, Adventure Group Guild, Nightclub, Trade Building, and Royal Hotel. etc.

Noah pointed to the circular building adjacent to the auction house and said to Louis: "I heard that a grand gladiatorial ceremony will be held in the arena over there recently. Then, brother, don't forget to bring me and Jijia with you. ”

Lewis reached out and rubbed Noah's hair, with a doting look on his face, and said to him: "Where did you get the news? You are very well-informed. I also just received the news. This time from Slot City Duke Jingyue led the ten most elite knights of the North Wind Legion, as well as Hai Hai Prince James of Yinsi City led the eight most elite knights of the South Wind Legion and two regiments of the Naga Sea Clan. I heard that the war between Qiyan City and the Swamp Clan in the Wild Swamp was also very tense. A legion commander and two constructing knights will be sent here..."

Noah looked surprised and interrupted Lewis: "With so many powerful armies gathered in the imperial capital, what exactly does Charles want to do?"

Lewis smiled slightly and explained: "Of course we want to change the previous decline. All planes are locked in a bitter war. If this drags on for a long time, the entire economy of the empire will soon be brought down. Without the continuous support of all planes to the imperial capital, When transporting various supplies, the imperial capital will soon fall into an embarrassing dilemma of shortage of various supplies. Faced with such a situation, His Majesty, the Emperor of the Green Empire, cannot sit idly by and ignore it no matter what. "

Noah's eyes widened, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Is that why the empire's most elite knights are sent to various planes to participate in the war?"

There was no expressive expression on Louis' face, and he said: "That's probably it! Before going on an expedition, there are always some grand gladiatorial ceremonies or something like that. The gladiator activities are probably held to wake up those who live a comfortable life in the imperial capital. The blood of the nobles, those who don’t want to send troops into the war, always have to donate something else. It is in the Green Empire’s best interest to end the plane war as soon as possible.”

Hearing Noah say this, I remembered the letter I wrote to Grand Duke Jingyue half a month ago. Princess Sha brought a team of construct knights to visit me at my residence. At that time, she had not revealed anything. But maybe that knight squad was the advance team sent by Duke Jingyue to the imperial capital.

Summer is the safest season for Sloit Province. During the rainy season, the Benma River is extremely turbulent, and all barbarians can be blocked on the north bank of the Benma River. It is probably because of this that Duke Jingyue accepted the call from Emperor Charles the Great. , lead the most elite Constructed Knights in the North Wind Legion to rescue those plane lords.

At this time, I heard Louis say to Noah: "I heard that the envoys from the night elves in the Evernight Forest and the Silver Moon Elves in the art capital of Buenos City have arrived in the Green Capital. They probably want to intervene this time. Plane war, if Charles doesn’t reverse the situation as soon as possible, who knows what impact it will have.”

Noah was not very good at analyzing these strategic matters, and said distressedly: "I didn't want to recall the famous adventure groups in the empire to station in the rich planes privately owned by each grand duke. Isn't it enough to turn the situation around?"

Louis pointed at the crowd gathered at the door of the auction house, sighed slightly and said: "Looking at today's scene, it is not difficult to think of how bad those plane wars were. I heard that there are a group of people from Buyi here at the auction house. The mid-level magic herbs flown in from North are said to be auctioned in groups. Now I don’t know how many nobles are trying to get some. Doesn’t the lack of magic herbs explain the problem? A large number of wounded soldiers require a lot of treatment? Potion.”

He seemed unwilling to tell Noah too much negative news about the plane war, so he changed the topic: "The most popular items in this auction will not be some high-level magic pattern structures and epics like in previous years. Weapons, but healing magic herbs and repairing magic metals, everything must be compromised for the plane war!"

Lewis turned to me and asked Noah: "Jijia, Noah, are you going to go to the auction hall of magic patterns and rare weapons, or come with me to the second auction hall where magic herbs are auctioned, but we have to hurry up. , I’m afraid it will be harder to squeeze in if you go late.”

We moved little by little towards the auction house with the crowd, not knowing that the auction house could accommodate so many people.

Noah smiled and rejected Louis' proposal, and then said: "Hey, Louis, you guessed it wrong. We are on different roads. Jijia and I are going to visit the Magic Gem Auction Hall!"

Louis didn’t expect that Noah and I would be interested in magic gems, but he didn’t think much about it. He just said casually: “This year, magic jewelry, magic gems, art and paintings are auctioned together. Your choice is really a bit beyond me. It’s unexpected, but I suggest you pay attention to those magical jewelry that restore mana. If you like it, you might as well take a photo of it. Noah, Jijia, have you brought enough magic crystals?”

Noah puffed up his chest, patted the money bag hanging on his waist with his hand, and said quite proudly: "You have enough, don't worry about us, Louis, I have saved a lot of money recently."

Then Louis’ eyes fell on me, and my heart warmed, and I quickly said: “Oh, I also brought all my belongings. Look, I have prepared a lot!”

I took the money bag out of the magic waist bag and it was heavy in my hand, like a bag of rice.

Untied the rope, opened the bag, and let Louis and Noah see the magic crystals in the money bag. More than three thousand magic crystals were bulging inside. Probably Louis and Noah did not expect that I would use so many magic crystals. With the stone belt by my side, Noah came over and saw the magic crystal in my money bag, and wailed: "I swear, I don't want to see Jijia's money bag again. This is a bit too shocking."

Louis explained to Noah: "Elementary magic herbs, hemostatic bandages and magic black iron have made him a lot of money these days. His pocket is bigger than yours. This doesn't surprise me at all. Let's be open, Noah Ya, you should learn more from Jijia in the future.”

He turned back to me and asked jokingly: "Hey, Jijia, is it because the Duke of Samoyed in the Hiero plane wants to marry his daughter to you, so he gave you such a generous dowry?"

"Um..." I glanced at Catalina guiltily. To be honest, the supply of the entire Xinliu Valley now is almost all the dowry left to Catalina by the quartermaster Felix. I really have some of these properties. The content of the dowry is not the property of the Duke of Samoyed.

Catalina blushed slightly when I looked at her, but at this time she was wearing a royal squid leather battle skirt and a 'Earth Shield' leather top. Her whole person exuded an aura of the Pai Plateau orc tribe, gorgeous. Her face, gentle eyes and the wild flavor exuding from her leather armored dress gave her a unique flavor.

Maybe it's because she has the blood of the orc bunnyman in her bones that she wears the leather armor dress to look like an orc.

"Tsk, tsk, the light leather armor of Yaronhide, the magic pattern painted on it is also so brand-new. Jijia, you really exude the nouveau riche feeling. Is this red-haired girl your follower?" Lewis at this time Also noticed the beautiful Catalina, long red Her hair and red eyes stood out among the crowd, but her tall figure was nestled tightly beside me. She was wearing a gorgeous magic-patterned outfit, with an exaggerated broken blade tied around her waist. The gap attracted the attention of many people around.

"yes!"

I glanced at Catalina. Her status was somewhat special. Although she was following me now, she was still Qige's personal maid. The tacit understanding between Catalina and I made Louis pat his forehead and say to Catalina with a hint of confusion: "I always feel like I have seen you there!"

Catalina blushed slightly, just blinked and remained silent beside me.

Following the flow of people, we rushed to the door of the auction house. Although we couldn't jump forward, we were pushed by the crowd coming from behind and couldn't stop. It was smooth sailing as each of us had an admission ticket in our hands. I squeezed into the auction house hall, and when I got inside, although there were just as many people, it was at least not that crowded.

The large hall on the first floor was full of auction buyers. Because the jewelry auction hall and the magic herb auction hall were not on the same floor, Noah and I were going to leave separately from Louis in the hall on the first floor. He brought several people from the Emerald Bay Trading Company with him. The person in charge and the beautiful female assistant with outstanding figure were very eye-catching. When they were leaving, Louis put his arms around Noah's neck, pulled him aside, and whispered to Noah : "You need to wink later. No matter what, Shirley Newman is considered the most outstanding magician in that province. You can win people's favor. During this time, you have pulled people's personal maids to bed, thinking Be more delicate, there are all girls who don't like jewelry. If she likes a piece of magic jewelry, she might as well take the initiative to buy it. Oh, you have to learn to please girls. "

With that said, he pulled a money bag from his waist and stuffed it into Noah's arms without any explanation, asking Noah to quickly put it into the magic pocket.

"I know, you're so nagging, I'm not short of money!" Noah blushed and muttered softly.

The magic material auction hall is on the second floor of the auction house. Louis led the Emerald Bay Trading Company to the second floor. They would probably enter different auction halls and look at many auction items, otherwise there wouldn't be so many regional managers following Louis.

Noah usually doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Emerald Bay Trading Company. I don't know what the company lacks. It should be some magic herbs and mithril ingots.

The magic jewelry, gemstone, and art auction hall is on the top floor of the auction house. Katrina, Noah, Shirley Newman and I climbed up to the fifth floor along the spiral staircase. It was obvious that there was no crowded crowd in the corridor on this floor, but there were many noble ladies and some jewelers walking into the auction hall in twos and threes.

There were even some elves in the crowd, which were rarely seen. It seemed that every elf had very strict requirements for clothing and appearance. They wore gorgeous clothes with exquisite embroidery and hollow interweaving, and their long light golden or silver-white hair was soft and smooth. Everyone wore some exquisite jewelry.

The corridor was covered with scarlet blankets. The stone pillars and arched domes on both sides of the corridor made the interior decoration magnificent. There was a round stone pillar every three meters, and the walls between the stone pillars were hung with exquisite oil paintings. Maybe it was because I got a bargain in the hotel in San Carlos City, so no matter where I went, I would like to stare at the oil paintings on the wall one by one and look at them carefully. Although I don’t understand those arts, I can feel whether there is magic in those oil paintings.

Shirley Newman took Noah’s arm and asked me curiously: "Ji Jia, do you like these oil paintings?"

"Me? Of course... No, as a magician, I am only interested in magic patterns and space geometry." I said to Shirley Newman.

A group of young elven men and women happened to pass by me. When a beautiful elven girl passed by me, she looked at me with contempt. Catalina, who was accompanying me, glared back at the elven girl with a sharp look. Catalina, who had returned from the battlefield, had a strong aura, which made the beautiful elven girl withdraw her gaze in panic.
