Palm Dragon

Under the light, a huge pink bird with a long beak flapped its wings and landed in front of the stage in front of the hall.

"What's this?" Ernie pulled out the tin collapsible spotting binoculars he used to observe the small baby.

The big bird arrogantly shook the sunflower-like crown on its head, opened its long beak, and let out a loud cry of "ding-dang-ding-dang".

"Time-telling bird." Layton obviously knew this creature.

"It looks so beautiful!" Adrian admired its sunflower head.

As if knowing that someone was talking about him, the time-telling bird tilted his head slightly, and showed his gorgeous lower eyelashes in the direction of Mr. Noble's box.

The sapphire blue curtain hanging in front of the hall slowly opened to both sides amidst the resonant call of the time-telling bird.

Although there was no conversation, the rustling of dresses and the clashing of gemstones and jewelry indicated that the distinguished guests sat up straight and focused their eyes on the gradually exposed stage.

"Ugh——!!!!"

A loud sucking sound came from behind the curtain.

The auction hall was instantly quiet.

Everyone looked at the master of ceremonies, whose back was turned to the audience, who was forgetting to tune.

"What is that?" The elf wished he could turn the knob of the telescope like a windmill.

"If you ask me, I'd call it a vulture," Adrian said.

Compared with the glittering hall, the white floor-length feather dress is very low-key, if it is not put on a chubby fat man.

Especially a fat, bald guy in a bright red bow tie.

The fat man turned around with difficulty, and then he looked at the curtain that had been drawn in shock.

In the next second, the facial features, which were almost invisible due to the fat squeeze, miraculously opened up.

"Ah——distinguished guests—" the fat man held his airs skillfully. "It's an honor for Sachima—"

Then Adrian stopped paying attention to what he said.

The elf yawned unabashedly.

"When is he going to talk?" Xiaolong complained.This drawl would make him feel sleepy.

Fat vulture, of course, would not take care of their emotions, and began to praise the God of Light, the Holy See, and "all the generous ones" eloquently.

Mr. Noble squinted his eyes halfway, tapping his knuckles lightly on the armrest of the chair, as if he was resting.

But in fact, if he wanted to, Adrian would see some long black lines starting to extend from Mr. Noble's feet.

These lines seemed to be given life, and they poured out of the box where they were.

His current situation does not allow too much commotion, especially when the opponent's strength is unknown.

His just wanted to confirm.

The golden hall, the box, the backstage... Mr. Noble's black lines began to cover the building.

When the fat bald man finally finished his carol, his little spies began to come back.

Hit a wall.

Mr. Noble smiled and put away the black thread.

Adrian rubbed his eyes, trying to focus on the stage.

The people below are applauding.

Two girls with gemstones on their foreheads came in pushing a small cart, which looked like a small dining cart that Layton usually used.

But it was not the big dinner plate that Adrian was familiar with, but a wooden box that looked very old.

"Oh!" Aini's eyes lit up, and he picked up the binoculars again.

This time the fat man didn't talk nonsense, and directly reported its origin and reserve price.

"This is the legendary Filika Box~ It is said that it contains the hiding place of the lifelong treasure of this all-powerful pirate! Attached is a certificate from a Saka appraisal expert!"

So people began to bid.

Adrian blinked. "Identification means that this box has never been opened?"

Elves are sophisticated. "yes."

"Then what he said just now is 'it is said' that there is a treasure map in it? What if there is no treasure map?"

"That's why it's called a 'legend'. The auctioneer can't guarantee that there is a treasure map inside, because there are unopened appraisal documents, and the auctioneer doesn't need to be responsible for the legend."

"So they spent 8 gold coins just to buy an old box that might be empty?" Adrian was shocked by this worldview.

"Actually, if the certificate of authenticity is true, the box itself is also an antique. Moreover, the price has now risen to 1 gold coins." Mr. Noble explained with a smile.

Of course, that box is definitely not worth 1 gold coins.

Xiaolong stared feebly at the people downstairs who were still raising placards one after another. "I do not understand."

"Sometimes, dreams are indeed worth so much money." Yi Si laughed at Xiaolong's distressed expression.

The person holding the sign didn't want to take out Charmander's pocket.

Of course, dreams or something, Adrian can't understand this kind of aristocratic romance at all.Life was complete for him with coins and gems to count and a small orchard to brew.

Of course he is interested in the treasure map, but the treasure map that needs to be bought by being carried to the bright hall for sale makes Little Charmander feel ridiculous.

He would rather go to the swamp to salvage noble carriages to find clues to treasures, or to search for ores in the burning abyss.

Xiaolong's disdainful expression made Mr. Noble decide never to mention to him that he had also spent a lot of money to buy a map to find seven-color peacocks because of unreliable legends.

Up to now, Mr. Noble still feels very regretful. If he hadn't been too lazy to find it himself but let the mercenaries go, he might have a rare colorful peacock fur coat.

Next, the rare light-type flower seedlings cultivated by the magician were launched one after another. It is said that it can be used to make a perfume that all men are fascinated by; the bright nine-star stick, inlaid with 61 water-type gems; the advanced limited edition of the dwarves Advanced tank assembly drawing, with fortification manual...

It's all useless stuff.The elf came to a conclusion decisively.

Indeed, so far, there has been no competition for bids in the auction hall.

Until eight waiters instead of girls pushed up something that took up almost half the stage.

The lights in the auction hall also mysteriously dimmed at this time.

"Everyone," the fat man bowed to the audience with some difficulty. "Please allow Lukaf (whose name Adrian did not know until now) to have the honor of presenting to you one of the prides of Saqima at this auction!"

Following his words, the black flannel covering the thing was forcefully removed.

Almost at the same time, murmurs of exclamation resounded in the auction hall.

Because it is too dazzling.

"...Bed?" The elf was quite surprised.

As soon as the black velvet cloth was removed, the stage seemed to be illuminated instantly.

A huge luxurious ivory bed appeared in front of everyone.

Before Lukaf could quote, people started commotion-even the richest king standing here would have to marvel at the beauty of this bed.

"As you can see!" Lukaf began to introduce enthusiastically. "Five times larger than normal size, please look at this white bed rail bed frame - I bet the best hunter in Ori will never see so much white ivory at the same time in his life! Not to mention The exquisite lily and genshou flower patterns on it, the stamens are all inlaid with gold and precious stones! The solid gold bed board is full of elastic mink belts, the tassel pillow is three layers of silk embroidered with silver threads, and——like Like moonlight pouring over the bedside, gorgeous curtains woven from the tails of unicorn cubs!"

Annie was dumbfounded.

This ridiculously large bed is dazzling from a distance.

A bed of gold studded with precious stones... it's literally sleeping on a mountain of gold!Who likes this kind of stuff? !Elven slander.

As it turns out, humans love both.

Just look at the signs downstairs that are raised one by one as if they are in a competition.

And dragons like it too.

Adrian was already so excited when the black flannel was taken off that he didn't even doze off.

Just kidding, sleeping on letters and gems is every dragon's ultimate romance! ! !

At this time, Adrian completely forgot about his attack on the treasure map.

Rukaff did not give a reserve price for this bed, but the first bidder started the auction.

Aini glared at Adrian, who was ready to fight: "You want to buy?" That nouveau riche bed?

Xiaolong rubbed his eyes hard to concentrate and nodded.

As soon as the gleaming bed appeared, Adrian's eyes lit up.

Mr. Noble expressed his kindness to help Charmander, who is not familiar with the auction process, get this treasure.

So after shyly telling Iss the approximate amount of his small fortune, Adrian began to focus on the big bed on the stage.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa then a beautiful, gorgeous bed!If Charmander sleeps on so many gems and gold, it must be the best thing in his life.

Aini watched silently as Mr. Noble elegantly wrote down astronomical figures on the special quotation book in the box again and again, and these figures would be simultaneously displayed on the price tag in Lukaf's hand.

He dared to say that Adrian must not understand what price the bed has been raised to.

But Yis didn't seem to be under any pressure at all.

No matter how rich human beings are, it is nothing more than a hundred years of savings.In contrast, Xiaolong's savings are much more impressive.

Of course, that is under the premise of competing with human nobles.

Now there are no bidders in the hall.

But the number on the quotation book in his hand was still rising, Mr. Noble gently raised the corner of his mouth and sneered in his heart.

Basically, prudent lovers and rude giants will not consider such things that are more beautiful than practical, and elves and angels have always disdained overly gorgeous food.

So I ruled out a circle, and there was only such a large range of people who would always raise the price with myself.

"There are no blood races here." Layton, who had been acting as if he had nothing to do with himself, said suddenly.

Mr. Noble understood what he meant.So, if it's not a demon that pursues flashy... it's a dragon, right?

The boxes on the second floor of the circular auction hall are all confidential. Although they can see the people in the hall downstairs, they can't see who is in the box next door or even opposite.

But they soon found out.

The butler calmly put away a large pile of picnic equipment in the box.

While continuing to follow up the price on the quotation, Yisi smiled and signaled Xiaolong who was lying on the terrace to come down.

"Ed, we have guests."

The barrier of the box was untied.
