Tribulation of Mysteries - Chapter 121

[Chapter 121 Auction House (Congratulations to Pingbao Roaring Alliance Leader!)]

is not far away.

While Aaron took off the ‘Shadow Ring’ from his right hand, he thought to himself: “There is a state of mind in cutting leeks… Now, I can make mature leeks cut themselves, haha…”

“If Scarface knew The backer he is looking for is the person who robbed him twice. I wonder if he will have a mental breakdown?”

He looked at the iron-black ring on his hand, feeling the drain on his spirituality and the danger brought by the darkness around him, and threw it away. coins.

After a moment, Aaron shook his head and stared at the ring on his hand: “How courageous… I’ll scare it with a spirit body another day and see if it can be tamed…”

He just felt a little risk of being ‘hidden’. There is no doubt the backlash from the monster!

…

Thursday morning, August 20th.

Aaron was wearing a white shirt, a black vest, a dark brown trench coat, a round silk top hat, shiny leather shoes, holding a slender cane inlaid with white crystals, and left as the maid Sylvia bowed to see him off. residence, and boarded a carriage.

Green Forest City is not too hot all year round. On the contrary, it is very cold in winter, forcing the former Green Forest nobles to wear thick fur coats.

“Let’s go!”

After Aaron sat down, the carriage immediately started and drove slowly towards the Auguf Auction House.

Today happens to be the date for the auction of those Fabry dynasty cultural relics.

Aaron’s expression was solemn, he stared at his hands, and thought to himself: “Yao’s spirituality has reached its limit again. We must find the required spiritual materials as soon as possible and be promoted to a ‘Shepherd’…”

If you cannot be promoted, absorb more Spirituality has no meaning either.

For ordinary extraordinary people, if they do not rely on secret societies and other organizations, but enter the mysterious world by mistake, perhaps just collecting the knowledge to advance can keep them stuck for several years, ten years, or even a lifetime. time.

…

Ogoff Auction House is located at No. 17, Glamorgan District. It is one of the areas with the best security in Green Forest City and is not far from the main police station.

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

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

When Aaron got off the carriage, he glanced briefly and saw many familiar people.

History professor Clark Dass and his apprentice Bruce Field… company director William Mark… his partner at the last ball, the bespectacled and bookish Liliat Doron… and Kristo This Holy Spirit priest.

People are not divided intentionally, but they naturally form different circles.

Aaron nodded towards Clark and blended into William Mack’s circle smoothly.

“Our traveler is also interested in antiques?”

William Mark quipped.

“Yes, I am very fascinated by that period of history.” Aaron admitted with a smile that it was nothing.

“Those precious cultural relics and works of art not only have high historical and artistic value, they can also preserve their value and are a good choice for investment…”

Chris Toya next to him spoke, and his attitude towards Aaron, the financial backer, was quite kind. He took the initiative to invite: “We have a private room on the second floor. Do you want to come together?”

“No, no… I would rather experience the atmosphere in the lobby.”

Aaron shook his head with a smile, and then saw a carriage that was different, with low-key and luxurious decoration, and a noble emblem, and slowly stopped. A man of medium build, a decent smile, and a beautiful small chin came down from it. Bearded man in his thirties.

“It’s Lord Lake!”

The people around him stepped aside automatically, and some businessmen and senior government employees couldn’t help but come forward to chat.

Suddenly, Lord Lake with his female companion became the focus of the audience.

“I heard that there are also shares of many nobles in the Auguf Auction House…”

William Mark said quietly, not knowing whether it was envy or jealousy: “So many high-class people have arrived, and the auction will be very fierce…”

From Aaron could hear the sour taste in his words.

After the big businessmen of this era became famous, they would often immediately transform, purchase land, and support charity, in order to gain a good reputation and enter the ‘real’ upper class society.

Then, they often spend large sums of money to bribe parliamentarians and nobles, hoping to obtain a title and improve their social status.

At the same time, they are also trying their best to marry into nobles. In front of a real ancient nobleman, no matter how wealthy a businessman is, he often has a subtle sense of inferiority.

‘It is said that in the Kingdom’s House of Lords, the House of Lords controlled by nobles is boring, while the House of Commons is often in full swing because of various issues. However, those members of the House of Commons from different classes are actually supported and controlled by nobles from behind… But now, As the number of nobles in debt increased, they had to give up some political rights. Most of the members of the House of Commons were wealthy people. Although they were still puppets of the nobles at this time, they were gradually awakening to the consciousness of the bourgeoisie and secretly eroding the political power. The power of the kingdom…’

‘If it was in a normal world, then they would have a high chance of success. This is the torrent of history… But after adding extraordinary factors, the future is a fog…’

Aaron looked at this One scene, my mind was filled with thoughts.

He followed other people, walked onto the red carpet, and entered the Auguf auction house.

The huge auction hall can accommodate hundreds of men and women dancing at the same time without appearing crowded. A bright crystal chandelier hangs on the dome depicting religious oil paintings of the Holy Spirit, emitting bright brilliance.

“It’s actually an electric light?”

Aaron exclaimed. Today, most places in the kingdom still use gas street lamps and kerosene lamps. Although electric lamps and wires were invented, the filament life is too short, and generators also have many problems, so they are often used as novelties. plaything.

Augur Auction House uses this to reflect its trendiness and its own strength.

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

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

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

“Good day, Aaron…”

Clark nodded towards Aaron, and Bruce next to him kept winking.

“I didn’t expect you to come…”

Clark sighed with a smile, looked around, and lowered his voice: “It is very likely that these auctioned cultural relics have been inspected by the Bureau of Investigation more than once, especially books…”
