Mysterious Tribulation

not far away.

Aaron took off the 'Shadow Ring' from his right hand, and said to himself in his heart: There is a limit to cutting leeks... Now, I can make mature leeks cut themselves, haha...

If Scarface knew that the backer he was looking for was the one who robbed him twice, would he have a direct mental breakdown?

He looked at the iron black ring on his hand, feeling the consumption of spirituality and the sense of danger brought by the darkness around him, and tossed a coin.

After a while, Aaron shook his head and stared at the ring on his hand: It's so daring... Use a spirit body to intimidate it another day and see if it can be domesticated...

He just felt a little risk of being 'secret', which undoubtedly comes from the backlash of the monster!

...

August 20, Thursday morning.

Aaron wore a white shirt, a black vest, a dark brown trench coat, a silk top hat with a dome, shiny leather shoes, and a slender cane inlaid with white crystals, and left with the bow of the maid Silvia. Residence, boarded a carriage.

Green Forest City is not too hot all year round, on the contrary, it is very cold in winter, so that the former Green Forest nobles had to wrap themselves in thick fur coats.

Set off!

After Aaron sat down, the carriage started immediately and slowly drove in the direction of Ogoff's auction house.

Today is the exact date for the auction of that Fabbri dynasty relic.

Aaron's expression was solemn, staring at his hands, thinking to himself: The spirituality of 'Yao' has reached its limit again, and he must find the spiritual materials he needs as soon as possible and be promoted to 'Shepherd of Light'...'

If you can't be promoted, there is no point in absorbing more spirituality.

For ordinary Beyonders, if they did not rely on secret associations and other organizations, but entered the mysterious world by mistake, perhaps just collecting the knowledge of the promotion can get them stuck for years, decades, or even a lifetime. time.

...

Ogoff Auction House is located at No. 17, Glamorgan District, one of the most secure areas in Greenwood City, not far from the General Police Station.

It is a historic wood and stone building with a huge lawn and fountain in front of the main entrance.

At this time, the carriages stopped, the ladies and gentlemen above them dressed up as if they were attending a ball, greeted each other politely, and walked into the venue.

When Aaron got off the carriage, he glanced slightly and saw a lot of acquaintances.

History professor Clark Das and his apprentice Bruce Field...company director William Mark...the last dance partner, the bespectacled, bookish Liliat Doron...and Chris Tow Ya this Holy Spirit priest.

People did not deliberately divide, but naturally formed different circles.

Aaron nodded at Clark, blending smoothly into William Mark's circle.

Our travelers are also interested in antiques?

William Mark quipped.

Yeah, I'm fascinated by that history. Aaron admits with a smile, it's nothing.

Those precious cultural relics and works of art not only have high historical and artistic value, but also preserve their value and are a good choice for investment...

Chris Toya, who was next to him, spoke very kindly to Aaron, the gold master, and took the initiative to invite: We have a box on the second floor, do we want to be together?

No, no... I prefer to experience the atmosphere in the hall.

Aaron smiled and shook his head, and then saw a different carriage with a low-key and luxurious decoration and a noble badge imprinted slowly parked, and a medium-sized man with a decent smile and a beautiful small chin came down from it. Thirties male with beard.

It's Lord Lake!

People around them moved away automatically, and some businessmen and senior government employees couldn't help but come up to chat.

For a while, the Lord Lake with his female companion became the focus of the audience.

I heard that in the Ogoff auction house, there are also a number of nobles' shares...

William Mark said something faintly, not knowing whether it was envy or jealousy: With so many high-class people coming, the auction will be very intense...

From his words, Aaron could hear the sour taste.

After the big businessmen of this era became famous, they often transformed immediately, bought land, and supported charity, so as to gain a good reputation and enter the 'real' high society.

Then, they would often spare no expense to bribe parliamentarians and nobles, hoping to obtain a title and improve their social status.

At the same time, he is also trying his best to marry a noble. In front of a real ancient noble, even the richest businessman often has a subtle sense of inferiority.

'It is said that in the upper and lower houses of the kingdom, the upper house run by nobles is dull and boring, but the lower house is always in full swing because of various issues, but those members of the lower house from different classes are actually supported and controlled by the nobles behind... But now, As more and more nobles owed debts, they had to let go of some of their political rights. Most of the members of the lower house were held by rich people. Although they were still the puppets of the nobles at this time, they were gradually awakening the consciousness of the bourgeoisie, which secretly eroded. Kingdom Power...'

'If it is in a normal world, then they are very likely to succeed. This is the torrent of history... But after adding extraordinary factors, the future is a fog...'

Aaron looked at this scene, and his thoughts were up and down.

He followed the flow of others, walked onto the red carpet, and entered the Ogoff auction house.

The huge auction hall can accommodate hundreds of pairs of men and women dancing at the same time without appearing crowded. The dome depicting the religious oil paintings of the Holy Spirit is hung with bright crystal chandeliers, exuding bright brilliance.

It's actually a light bulb?

Aaron exclaimed, gas street lamps and kerosene lamps are still used in most parts of the kingdom today. Although electric lamps and wires were invented, the filament lifespan is too short, and there are many problems with generators, so they are often used as novel playthings.

Ogoff Auction House uses this to reflect the trend and its own strength.

The auction hall is divided into two floors. There are many round tables on the first floor. Clark and Bruce occupy one table. Aaron walked over and sat down on the side.

The second floor is separated by many boxes, and there are special bidding agents, which are very decent.

After everyone was seated, the surrounding lights dimmed, and a searchlight hit the auction table, focusing on a host who was wearing a luxurious dress and glasses.

Good day, Aaron...

Clark nodded at Aaron, and Bruce beside him kept winking.

I didn't expect you to come...

Clark smiled and sighed, looked around, and lowered his voice: There is a high probability that this batch of cultural relics has been inspected by the Bureau of Investigation more than once, especially books...
