An Elegant Noble's Guide to Vacations

Chapter 12 Closing the book, Liesel looked up at the sky.

, it seems that they prefer to find a partner of the opposite sex in the local area.

This type of women intends to pursue the excitement during the journey. Once they find that the other party lacks interest and is unlikely to have fun together, they will give up immediately.

But I don't know if they are particularly fond of Jie'er, even though his troublesome attitude is very explicit, they still don't flinch, and continue to talk to him cheerfully.

Lissel thought it was a little funny, watched the show for a while, and suddenly met Jie Er's eyes.Receiving the other party's resentful gaze of "Why don't you come here soon", Liesel couldn't hide his smile and walked towards him.

"My companion is here." "Oh, it's a pity, why don't we come together... It seems that we can't get what we want." The two women noticed that Jieer straightened his back and walked away from the wall, and followed his gaze to look at Li. Searle.When you get close, you can see that both of them are quite beautiful beauties.

"If there is a chance to meet at night, please stay with us!" Their delicate lips curled up into a smile, and they waved to Jie Er and left.

The reason why they retreated despite the difficulties was because when they saw Lieser, they concluded that Jieer was hired by him to be his bodyguard during the auction.Since Jie Er was working, there was no other way, so they simply gave up.

"You guys have been watching for a while." "You were discovered?" There are guards and entourages around, and most of them are from wealthy families.

"Did I bother you?" "Idiot." The two joked a few words and stepped into the auction venue.

There is a stage in front of you, and the auditorium spreads out in a fan shape with the stage as the center.All kinds of props are ready, it looks like a real auction venue, and the time is almost up, and many guests have already been seated in the auditorium.

Looking around, there are all kinds of people, from participants who are serious about challenging the bidding, to spectators who don't intend to spend money while sightseeing.

"Welcome VIPs, do you want to participate in the bidding today or just visit?" "Bidding, only I will participate." "Okay, please take this No. 17 number plate, I wish you a pleasant time ” Looking carefully, it was the man who came to distribute the leaflets in the morning.

He was still wearing a crisp black tuxedo, which looked a bit abrupt outside during the day, but at this moment it fit perfectly into this occasion.The man seemed to remember Lieser and the others, his calm expression was a little more playful, and he blinked one eye at them.

Seeing his witty and humorous actions, Lieser also smiled slightly and walked to the designated seat.

"It's around here, right?" "Hmm." Although seats are assigned, not every seat is marked with a number, but the bidders sit in the front half, and the visitors sit in the back half. It's just a distinction.

The two found an empty seat and sat down side by side.

"This is the second time I have participated in an auction, and I really miss it." "You can get whatever you want with your identity, why go all the way to bid?" If it wasn't for His Majesty taking the national treasure to the auction to earn pocket money, I probably wouldn't have participated." "Oh." Lissel showed a warm smile, and Jie Er could only reply him.

Most of the anecdotes about the beloved disciple in his mouth couldn't be laughed off, so he didn't know how to respond to them.Of course, those stories that are too exaggerated to be called "heroic" deeds are very interesting, and Jie Er does not dislike the kind of smile he only shows in front of himself when he talks about his lover, and he has no dissatisfaction with it.

"... Distinguished guests have been waiting for a long time." At this moment, the lights on the stage flicked on.

"Markaide's well-known grand ceremony, the No.20 [-]rd Auction Conference opens here!" "Many sessions have been held." Applaud and look towards the stage.

The host, dressed in a suit, began to explain the rules of the auction in high spirits.The promotion of "everyone can participate" before the meeting is worthy of the name, and the rules have been simplified a lot.

"Your goal is the book?" "Yes, what about you?" "Nothing special." While the two were talking, the first auction item quickly came to the stage.

On a silver tray stood a small glass bottle, dazzlingly reflecting the light, filled with a reddish liquid.

"The first auction item is a low-level recovery medicine produced in the labyrinth. The starting bid is two silver coins." "Four silver coins!" "Five silver coins and ten copper coins!" The recovery medicine was originally carefully crafted by medicine men.

This kind of medicine is difficult to mass-produce, the price has a certain threshold, and it can only be used for trauma.Except for groups like adventurers who must heal their wounds immediately, otherwise their lives are at stake, almost no one would buy recovery medicine in their personal capacity, and most of the time they waited for the wound to heal naturally.

"Is there any difference in the recovery medicine produced in the labyrinth?" "It won't hurt." "That's right." Lieser understood it immediately after hearing it. He had never used recovery medicine, but he had heard it before.

It is said that healing with recovery medicine is very painful.A cook cut his finger while chopping vegetables, and since the cut was interfering with his work, he used healing medicine.

As a result, after using it, adults, big and small, were so painful that they burst into tears, rolling on the ground and crying, "If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't need it."The wound will heal, but it will be painful.

"What is the low-level effect?" "The degree of healing of superficial cuts or burns." "Intermediate?" "The fracture can be reattached." "Advanced?" What happened to the experience?

After a period of time, the auction items launched were all items suitable for tourists to bid.A book was launched not long ago, but it was considered a rare commodity only with the author's signature, so Lieser didn't ask for a price.

The books I'm interested in won't appear until the second half of the auction, Liesel thought, watching other people's bids leisurely.

"The next thing is the labyrinth. From nobles to commoners, there are paintings bought by collectors. Distinguished guests, listen carefully. The protagonist of the painting in front of you is the team of adventurers who broke through the new maze in the capital recently. , now you have the opportunity to collect the miraculous moment when they are conquering the maze!" This auction item was so rare that it was a pity that it appeared in the first half, and the audience burst into excitement.

The curtain is lifted, and there is a sign of a fork in the foreground of the screen, and the back of the adventurer is farther away, but the figure is almost hidden in the depths of the maze, and only one person at the end of the team can barely be recognized.

Hearing the familiar explanation, Liesel looked at the painting carefully, and suddenly lowered his head.

"Puchi..." "...why are you laughing all of a sudden." He raised his hand to cover his mouth in an elegant and noble posture, but he couldn't hide the trembling of his shoulders.Of course, Jie Er also noticed that the team in the painting is exactly Ai En and the others.

So what?He looked at the people around him, Liesel still had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and quietly moved his face closer, and Jieer also leaned slightly to listen.

"Ai En went to the wrong side." Illustration p255 Jieer glanced at the painting, the code on the composition is located in the center of the picture, and the content is clearly visible.

He looked at it for a while, then sneered.This fork in the road should go to the left, but Ain and the others walked to the right without hesitation. It seemed that they were really bad at deciphering codes.Fortunately, they have a way to maintain the lead in the front line of the attack, and they even came to ask for Lieser's assistance.

"This floor should be a maze. They really used the trial and error method to go through every road." "For them, the local method of steelmaking is faster." Lieser recalled that time It seems that they really tried their best. Although it has been so long, Lieser still can't help feeling admiration.It was a good thing they had been praised well then, he thought to himself, contentedly.

Then, after an intermission, the second half of the auction was finally about to begin.

While sipping the drink that was handed out, Lieser looked at the auditorium where the atmosphere was getting warmer.The participants who were bidding for bids just now were gearing up to enter the real bidding battlefield, and those who planned to start bidding with all their strength in the second half also straightened their backs.

"Look, look!" "Great!" Two childish young girls sat next to Liesel. Hold your own loot.It was the only book produced in the first half, and they were chatting happily with the signed book.

Seeing their flushed cheeks with excitement, they should be diehard fans of that author.Liesel has also read other works by the same author, which are very beautifully written poetry collections.

"Ah..." The two girls inadvertently met his gaze, probably feeling embarrassed when they realized how excited they were, and their cheeks flushed.You two have good taste, Liesel smiled at them.There was a small commotion between the two girls for a moment. Seeing Lissel smiled amusedly, she turned her eyes to the stage again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is about to start again." Immediately afterwards, the second half of the auction kicked off.

"Dear guests, please fully appreciate the bidding strategy of experts coming and going! All distinguished guests participating in the bidding, please look forward to our proud auction items bringing you unknown encounters!" The applause this time was higher than before Even warmer.

The rarity of the auctioned items has also been greatly increased. Monster furs of rare colors that have mutated by chance, ornately decorated antiques, and labyrinth items from the depths of the labyrinth are all displayed in front of everyone.

There are also many things that Lieser has never seen, which are very interesting.

"Having said that, I rarely see you stripping monsters for their materials." "Trouble." "Look, you can get [-] gold coins for the reverse scale of the subterranean dragon." "I will take the boss-level ones, you Isn’t your equipment made of those materials?” “Well, indeed.” In other words, it means only high-level materials are used instead of low-level materials.

That's all priceless stuff.Jieer can even defeat the boss. He will keep some of the materials for re-creating equipment at any time, and sell all the others. The benefits of a battle are difficult to estimate.

"Sure enough, it is more cost-effective to bring your own materials to make equipment." "There is no ready-made equipment of this level. The materials needed are not only unavailable in the market, but the price will be raised by this kind of auction." "Although it is a bit It's late, wouldn't it be better for me to pay for the materials?" "No need." Liesel only paid the craftsman the cost of making the equipment, eighty gold coins.

Hearing his question, Jie Er nonchalantly gave a negative answer.In his opinion, not having enough material is not a problem at all, it’s better to hunt it anyway, this is an argument only for the absolute strong.

That's good, Lieser also nodded, if he continued to be polite, he would only get annoyed.

"Okay, next is the truly unique treasure! The genuine "Strategy Book" that was opened from the treasure chest in the maze is here!" This time, I really established a cooperative relationship with an excellent adventurer.Just as Liesel was expressing his feelings, he finally heard the long-awaited words in his ears.He leisurely listened to the ups and downs of the asking price, and tilted his head.

"Strategy book...?" "The book used to clear the maze that opened that book, referred to as the strategy book." That's the literal meaning.

"It records the maps of each level of the maze, the monsters that appear on each level, the ecology of monsters, and the materials that can be obtained." "That's really amazing. Huh, but those who want a strategy book don't look like adventurers." "It's a collector, you understand. So the strategy book will hardly flow into the hands of adventurers, it's better to say that adventurers don't need that thing." "Huh?" "It will only be opened in the deep." Maze Breakthrough What's the use of opening the strategy book when there's only one floor left?

Most of the adventurers shouted "It's too late!" They were filled with the urge to throw it to the ground, but they didn't because it was very valuable.

"Although it says that monsters appear on it, I don't know how many of them will appear somewhere. If you can't win, you can't win after reading the book." Will be able to sell maps." "Yes." "Then what's the use of the strategy book..." "Only one copy will be released for each maze, and you can get a lot of money if you sell it." There is no practicality at all. Searle was a little disappointed.

Hearing the rising bids, he couldn't help thinking that maybe the buyers who made the bids really didn't care about practicality.

"NO.16, eight gold coins! Eight gold coins, is there anyone asking for a price!" "Then, I'll call ten." But he didn't understand this kind of feeling, and Lieser wanted to read it and see if he had never seen it before. books.

He held up the number plate and called out the price, and when he heard an unfamiliar voice that had never participated in the bidding, everyone focused their attention.

"Why did you buy that thing?" Jie Er knew it in his mind, so he asked a question, Lieser smiled kindly at him.

"I want to read the strategy book." He didn't mean to collect a lot, he really just wanted to know what kind of book it was, so it was enough to buy one.

"Twelve pieces!" "Fifteen pieces." "Um...sixteen pieces!" He is a collector who specializes in purchasing books, so he shouldn't be able to spend too much budget on one book.

Coupled with Lieser's appearance and dress, he looked like a man with a lot of money no matter how he looked at it, the other party probably also realized that he was in a disadvantaged situation and stopped bidding.If he knew that Liesel was an adventurer with his appearance, that person might call him a fraud.

"Three NO.17, [-] gold coins sold!" Applause erupted from the audience, and Liesel waved lightly in thanks.

Later, two more books were released, both of which were successfully marked by Lieser.

The first is a labyrinth book, "A Collection of Naked Conversations of Adventurers", which contains the dialogues of adventurers who have sneaked into that maze. From shouting in battle to chatting, the names of the parties are all clearly written.

The other is a book known as "the world's oldest suspense work". It is said that this book is now extinct, so Lieser marked it down first.

"Jie Er, do you have anything you want?" "Ah... a powerful enemy who can be caught in a hard fight. His skills are about to become dull." "I can't say this at the auction site... Otherwise, bid the " The authenticity is unknown! An ancient map marking the lairs of legendary monsters』What do you think?" "No." Jieer replied in seconds.

Wouldn't it be interesting if it was genuine? Liesel had to put down the number plate that he was about to hold up after hearing this.

As a result, Lieser didn't photograph anything other than books, but he was extremely satisfied.Today is a life of encountering new books from morning to night, which is like a dream to him.

Needless to say, after leaving the auction site, after dinner, and before going to bed, Lieser of course spent all his time studying hard.

"Report." "Yes." In a certain mansion, the man who had watched Lieser all day was meeting with Shad.

What the man reported was completely contrary to Shad's imagination. Veins burst out on his forehead, and the pen in his hand creaked.

"What else can I learn from this report other than that he likes books?" "This... well..." "Who would have thought that he is really here for sightseeing...!" The man said a lot of meaningful words , Playing himself around, unexpectedly, it was really like what he said, he was just here for sightseeing.

The proportion of personal interests on this day is too strong to be like an ordinary sightseeing itinerary.However, from the report, it can be heard that he had a great time in the commercial country, and there was no sign of intending to approach Shad at all, nor did he show any suspicious behavior.

It's just that I put a suspicious look on my own.Having said that, the fact that an outstanding subordinate followed a leisurely traveling person for a whole day was severely weakening Shad's nerves.The man looked at this scene at a loss, and asked Shad tremblingly: "Count, tomorrow we will continue to monitor and compare..." "Reject, you go back to your original job." Shad no longer thinks that the other party's actions today are to confuse audio-visual.

Relaxing the vigilance is not the best policy, but it also does not allow a tourist to continue to occupy a small number of good manpower.Precisely because this city gathers people from all walks of life, there will never be enough people who are good at following the prison.

Shad watched his subordinates leave the room, and pressed the corners of his eyes tiredly. The thick dark circles under his eyes had not faded away for many years.

"...Those guys are eye-catching. If something happens, we will receive information immediately." According to the information obtained by Shad, Liesel and the others will stay here for three days.During this period of time, he should not walk in the streets, so he decided secretly, and continued to deal with the never-ending business.
