Chapter 505
Dingdingding
Golden’s spoon collided with the crystal cup, and the crisp sound instantly spread throughout the hall.
This is a small ceremony before the host of the reception, which is to inform everyone that the tulip count is about to appear.
Donald and Stephanie were standing next to a pillar on the right, the former with his hands behind his back, looking across the crowd, looking at the middle-aged handsome guy who was walking out of the inner hall.
Yes, this tulip count can be said to be a man with outstanding looks no matter from which angle, with a tall and straight body, meticulous hairstyle and attire, and the noble temperament reflected in him vividly and thoroughly.
The murmurs and whispers of many of the ladies around me attest to this.
“Gentlemen and ladies… Next is a small auction organized by this reception. If you are interested, you can go to the venue on the third floor.”
After a long paragraph similar to a toast, the tulip count finally came to the most crucial thing.
Although the small auction hosted by the Aldridge family has the prefix “small”, as long as the upper class in East Germany knows that there is nothing that can appear at this auction It’s common stuff, and Donald heard Huxley talk about it on the way.
This auction has no restrictions on the types of items, humans, exotic animals, antiques, Rare Items and the capital companies that Donald is bound to win today… As long as they are precious enough, they can be taken here out, and the Aldrich count that provides the venue is naturally drawn from it.
But just like the acres of flower fields outside the castle, this count has always been particular about all the auctions. He has a special team to review all the auctions. The lowest starting price is 80 gold pounds. Anything below this price is not even qualified to go on stage.
Therefore, the people who are interested in the auction said by Tulip Count is not a general polite word, but tells everyone in a euphemistic way that if the money prepared is not enough, the most Well, don’t overestimate one’s capabilities to follow.
“Let’s go.”
Donald wore Stephanie without any hesitation and started walking towards the stairs, at the same time people began to be in the crowd near them Approach over there.
“Look at the front left, the man just now.”
As soon as they stepped up the stairs, Stephanie whispered in Donald’s ear.
The latter turned his head to look over and saw at a glance that Viscount Philip, who had been humiliated by him not long ago, was diligently following behind the two graceful women who looked at him from the back, and from time to time he went over to say something. In two sentences, the expression on his face was as lewd as ever in Zhu Jue’s eyes.
The two women who were still walking in the center of the stairs were pushed to the edge of the carved wooden railing on the left by him not long after, and they walked up quickly with their bodies sideways in embarrassment.
“It should be the mother and daughter of the Steve family… This disgusting guy really has no sense of shame.”
For Viscount Philip’s The disgust made Donald involuntarily feel resentful about what happened to the mother and daughter, but he didn’t step forward to stop it, not because he didn’t want to, but because he really had no position.
Because Serveit Talos seems to be one of the culprits in this situation… At this time, it is more likely to be regarded as an accomplice.
“Viscount Philip, please show some respect to me and my mother!”
Before walking up to the third floor, the relatively slender girl finally couldn’t bear to speak out scolded.
This time almost attracted everyone’s attention.
“It’s a man of strength, but unfortunately the timing of showing his strength is not right.”
Under the circumstance that he has no pillar of support, he is far superior to someone in terms of financial resources and power. His own viscount tore his face in public, and the consequences were undoubtedly very serious.
If there was some room for maneuver between the two of them before, then after the girl scolded Viscount Philip, not only would he not let the latter retreat, but he was forcing him to attack.
Because if Viscount Philip fails to achieve his goals, it is tantamount to admitting his incompetence to those around him.
And after he achieved his goal, the fate of the mother and daughter may not be so optimistic.
“Irina, please apologize to Sir Philip soon!”
The girl’s mother obviously realized her daughter’s inappropriate behavior, and asked her to apologize while turning to Viscount Philip and said,
“Sorry Sir Philip, Irina has been in a bad mood lately because of things at home.”
“hmph, you’ll understand when Mr. Francis buys your company What kind of identity should be to face me!”
Philip glanced at the beautiful figures of the mother and daughter with a gloomy expression, and then walked forward without looking back.
At this point he hadn’t heard from Joyce that Donald was going to compete, and the latter, realizing that he couldn’t stop it, pretended not to know what to do, even the auction. I haven’t come to the meeting, and I’m ready when the time comes to ask one question and three questions.
This little episode did not cause too many waves, except for the mother and daughter with a bleak face, everyone entered the venue step by step.
The layout of the venue is not bad. It doesn’t look like an open space on the first floor. It is arranged like a theater. Because there are only a few dozen people participating, everyone has a seat. , the front row is very elegant, and there are nearly ten special seats that are slightly different from the rear in size and color.
A noble party.
The status is reflected in all aspects.
Donald and Stephanie were led to the front seat by the waiter as soon as they entered the door. The predecessor spent a lot of money here, and since they were mayor of Renas, they were naturally qualified. Sit in this position.
When everyone is seated, the auction will start immediately without any hesitation.
“The first item to be auctioned is the Emerald Dream pocket watch made by the Imperial Capital artisan Master, Master Bronte… The starting price is 80 gold pounds.”
The waiter’s hands in white gloves held up the wooden box at an angle, and showed everyone the exquisite pocket watch that flashed bright green light under the light. During the exhibition, there was also a gray-haired man wearing a black vest with a lining Introduction of the old man in white shirt.
this thing is a luxury not just in name only, but also in reality, Donald has no interest at all, because there are not too many similar pocket watches in Servette’s treasure house, even for Stephanie Each of them has plenty to spare, and the luxury of several of them is no worse than the emerald dream in front of them.
Of course, Donald’s dislike does not mean that others dislike it. This pocket watch was finally won by a nobleman from Delchimo for 100 gold pounds.
This price can even buy a fairly good Rare Item in the original sea market.
The next auction items are mostly works of art without any practical utility, including Ancient One excavated from ancient ruins, paintings left by a certain Master, for nobles who pursue art These are naturally good things, and almost every item can be called a high price with no difficulty.
But it’s not all useless. For example, the two long spears that are now being carried have attracted Donald’s attention.
The one on the left has a gorgeous surface coating and glyph pattern, the middle and rear of the barrel is under the silver white metal shell, the finely discernible fine gear and the top two-finger-long scope are all In explaining to people that this is a rifle with excellent performance, the one on the right is much simpler, but it is also a relatively rare style.
“This year’s latest product from the Lovak Arsenal, Mithril Collection, purely mechanically driven, with its own scope, can break the skull of a wild bear with no difficulty within a range of 800 meters.. ….this one is its bonus, a brass type II combo gun, the melee formidable power is not inferior to ordinary shotguns.”
These two guns are obviously for those who are keen on hunting. Men prepared, even in the introduction, there are many references to hunting.
In the end Donald bid 110 gold pounds for them.
Not wanting to compete with him as Mayor Renas, a few hobby hunters gave a symbolic shout and shut their mouths.
Don’t get me wrong, Donald doesn’t want to switch to Firearms Master, he just likes it, especially the one that comes with a bonus, he wants to take it back and let a professional test how it performs.
Nowadays, the general garrison in Renas City is too weak, and Donald has long wanted to form a qualified combat force for his own use.
In his plan, it won’t be long before he starts to clean up Renas’ underground forces. When the time comes, the police can’t let the police take those Ancient Ones that I don’t know how long ago. Fight with the underground forces.
