Chapter 423 The Duke's Auction
Since the "night" designated by the Duke does not know how long it will come, after all, the concept of time in the old world has long been disturbed by the war, so I had to call the golden mask to ask,

The golden mask that is the Duke's left hand is also unknown,

Just let Yi Chen know that the time defined by the Duke himself will not be announced to anyone, but half an hour before the start of the auction, there will be an obvious reminder in the area of ​​the chamber of commerce.

That being the case, Yi Chen had nothing to do in the room, so he took Shisan to the street to solve the problem of thirst for knowledge in advance.
I found the candle puppet store again, where the boss was packing and cleaning up the goods. A large number of candle puppets were involved in this process, carrying big bags and small bags and preparing to go to the Duke Chamber of Commerce.

Yi Chen was also unambiguous, and directly stated that he wanted knowledge books related to candle puppets.

As a result, the other party didn't care about this kind of thing at all, and just took it out, and according to the boss, every bookstore in Lantern City has similar candle puppet craft books,
There is even a special school for the Lantern Festival. Countless young people want to become candle puppet masters, but very few of them can turn their knowledge into practical applications.

Simultaneously,

The boss naturally noticed the change of the candle puppet behind Yi Chen, but he was busy moving at the moment, so he didn't ask much.

Go back to the chamber of commerce,

Thirteen was holding the old book that had been turned upside down, reading the contents with relish,
Every page is full of neat notes, and even some blueprints drawn by the boss when he was young, which makes Shisan's comprehension speed more than doubled, and he can even use notes to quickly break through some difficult points of understanding .

Of course, and most importantly,
Candle brains that have undergone specific education not only have perfect consciousness, but also can build a memory palace centered on "epilepsy".Moreover, as a candle puppet, Thirteen, her brain is already on the upper end of the same kind, and that's why she can carry such a word of insanity.

In terms of reading, although she has no eyes, she can rely on the firelight in her skull to shine light from the eye sockets to achieve visual feedback. When reading a book, it is like two flashlights shining on the book, even in the extremely dark environment. Does not affect reading.

The two didn't hang out in the chamber of commerce for long,
A series of inflated balloons floated up in the block, and a huge golden banner was attached below, and the liquid text on it was even counting down.

At the same time, a large number of golden mask employees yelled in the street, "The auction will start in half an hour. All qualified guests are invited to enter in turn."

At the same time, a golden mask also came to Yi Chen, led high-quality customers into the venue through a special passage, and walked along the stairs to the special private room on the highest floor.
Not only will it not be affected by other bidders, but it will also provide food distribution and personal services throughout the process.

On the contrary, this made Yi Chen very embarrassed. He didn't have much money, and when the auction ended, he enjoyed such high-level treatment but didn't buy anything. He always felt embarrassed.

The golden mask who was pouring brain juice seemed to see Yi Chen's discomfort, and said in a magnetic and friendly voice:

"Mr. William seems to have misunderstood something. The service we provide you has nothing to do with whether you consume it or not. It only depends on your distinguished status. I am very happy that you can come here in person, so please don't have any psychological burden.

You can watch this auction as a reality show. "

"Thank you."

The golden mask also glanced at the candle puppet who was reading beside Yi Chen, and the smiling expression on the mask changed, "Mr. William, have you given the candle puppet self-awareness?"

"Yes."

"Being able to transform the candle brain, you obviously have quite superb brain skills. If you are interested, we can discuss this knowledge in the future. I also have my own golden understanding of the brain."

"Ok."

"I won't bother you."

With the departure of the golden mask, Yi Chen turned his attention to the inner court of the auction, which was similar to the design of an opera house, and the VIP room, the atrium and the lower floor were all full of seats.

The gold, silver and jewels piled up on the central booth have been emptied, and the Duke also left temporarily.

Even with the participation of nearly ten thousand people, the audience was completely silent, and even the sound of breathing was suppressed to the minimum to express respect for the Duke.

time up,
boom!
The top floor of the auction venue was smashed by some kind of giant, a miniature castle fell directly, smashed and replaced the original booth,

As the castle unfolds, the Duke himself is lying in it munching on food.

"Time flies so fast, it's already night if you distract yourself a little bit.

Today's auction held in Ignaci, the City of Lights, is the same as usual. First, there will be an auction of 30 selected items, followed by a compulsory auction.

I will randomly select ten lucky viewers. You must come up with enough high-quality and rare items to force the auction. If you can’t come up with them, you need to become slaves and auction the right to use slaves for more than ten years.

let's start!

The first piece……"

The Duke took out a steel fork-like toothpick, pulled out a large amount of twisted things from between his teeth, kneaded it into a ball and filled it in his palm.

"This is the remnant of the gourmet food I enjoyed at the Lantern City Dinner, and the bidding starts with one coin!"

As soon as the words fell, more than a thousand people bid at the same time,
In an instant, the price was raised to 3 yuan, followed by an old man with squid whiskers and a murloc face who directly bid [-] yuan to win it.

Seeing this scene, Yi Chen frowned, somewhat incomprehensible.

Thirteen was still reading, completely undisturbed,
Half of Little Putao's head popped out, and a mouth grew out from the top of the head. "The residue between the teeth can be sold so expensive? Is this group of people secretly in love with the Duke?"

Huang Pi, who had been silent all this time, gave the answer between his retinas.

≮This is not an ordinary residue between the teeth, but top-quality ingredients stained with the Duke's saliva and gold tooth stains. It is rare to use this thing as the opening of the auction, and the Duke is obviously in a good mood.

If you take it directly, there is a certain probability of increasing the illusory "luck value"≯
"Lucky?"

Yi Chen also had the basic attribute of "luck" when he was a gentleman, but after more than 300 years of development in the organization, no one has ever made a breakthrough with luck, and he has never even heard of improving luck.

Now I know a way to increase luck, but the cost is too high.

As the meat balls were sold at a high price of [-], the prices of most of the follow-up exhibits ranged from [-] to [-]. Although there are a few interesting things, in Yi Chen's eyes, they are not worth spending a lot of money to buy.

With all the [-] exhibits on display, Yi Chen's eyes were broadened. He deepened his understanding of the old world through these items, and Huang Pi would pop up occasionally to explain the value of the items.

The duke in the castle burst into an excited smile, "Okay! Next is everyone's favorite compulsory auction, let me draw it directly."

The Duke put his fat palm into his body and grabbed out ten stones with numbers printed on them.

The number corresponds to the number of the auctioneer,

Those who were drawn showed joyful expressions, because they had prepared auction items in advance, and hoped to sell them for a good price. The most important thing was to get close to the duke, get the breath of the other party, and maybe even be valued by the duke and become a high-quality auctioneer. customer.

But there are also spectators with ugly faces,

There is nothing on them that is worthy of being auctioned, which means that they need to be auctioned as slaves.

at this time,

The yellow skin in the gentleman's clothes trembled, as if there was some kind of induction,
And Yi Chen's eyes also caught a "lucky guy" who was walking on the stage.

"Pinu? No...why is the skin on this man so festering?"
