First Wizarding World War
Chapter 14 Magic Item Auction
Charlotte was slightly surprised and said: "Miss Anne! Why are you here so early? I was just going to do some personal things. Your carriage is over there. Thank you for lending it to me."
Anne nodded to the other coachman in the carriage, who jumped out of the carriage and went to drive away the carriage that had parked here last night.
She said to Charlotte: "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
Charlotte was very envious of the lifestyle of traveling by carriage. Riding a carriage was much more comfortable than walking. Especially in rainy weather, traveling on foot was a disaster.
He could afford a carriage, but he needed a yard to park the carriage, stables for the horses to pull it, and a coachman.
The various expenses that come with the carriage are not affordable for a first-class clerk of the 41st class, nor can they be afforded by a first-class clerk of the 37th class. This is a lifestyle with class differences.
He said: "A friend asked me to sell a magic item."
Annie's eyes lit up and she said, "I happen to know about an auction of magic items."
Charlotte is also very happy, and he has no means. If he wants to sell things, he can only find second-hand thrift stores. Generally, the bids in such stores are not too high.
Magic item auctions can often fetch several times the high price.
This kind of gathering is a gathering of high-end people, and the organizer is usually very high-status. Only wealthy businessmen or nobles will be invited.
The Mecklen family was considered rich, but it was still not enough to participate in the magic items auction. As the second son of the Mecklen family, Charlotte was not allowed to enter.
Anne held out her little hand as an invitation.
Charlotte didn't hesitate, opened the door and asked Anne to get in the carriage, and then she got on board.
This carriage was slightly more modest than the one yesterday, but still spacious enough to seat seven or eight people.
Charlotte sat down opposite Anne and asked, "Miss Anne, don't you have any classes today?"
As a junior, you should be very busy with your studies. Charlotte asked casually to start today's topic.
Annie replied with a little pride: "I have completed the main credits and only have some internship courses left, so the coursework is quite loose and I don't need to go to school every day."
Only then did Charlotte realize that she shouldn't look at the world of a top student from the perspective of a bad student.
When Huang Haisheng was in college, he worked extremely hard every day. He had to work hard to complete the teacher's instructions. He was worried that he would not have enough credits and would not be able to graduate. He could not relax at all. There is a well-known motto in the mathematics department: people can do anything if they are pressed, except math.
Charlotte Mecklund is similar to Huang Haisheng, both are just ordinary excellent. He graduated from Le Mans School and was admitted to Behemoth National College. He once took the Lamia Breathing Technique as an elective, but until he graduated, he could only gather the seeds of power and could not break out of the cocoon. During his four years of studying at the University of Sheffield, he failed to achieve spiritual enlightenment. He had to rely on summoning evil gods to step into the supernatural world.
She was more than a little inferior to Anne Brittany, who had stepped into the extraordinary on her own strength as a freshman.
Anne Brittany is much more calm than yesterday. This lady is actually quite tall. According to the weights and measures on earth, she is about 170 centimeters. Even if the thickness of the soles has an error, it will not be lower than At one hundred and sixty-eight centimeters, she is considered a tall girl.
Today she changed into a pair of tortoiseshell framed glasses. She did not wear a long skirt. She wore knee-high boots and leather hunting trousers, which perfectly outlined her long legs. Her upper body was in a close-fitting little coat, and her smooth blond hair was tied up. He wore a ponytail hanging down the back of his head, looking heroic, and placed a three-cornered hat next to the seat.
After the greetings, Charlotte asked: "Does Miss Anne have any other activities today? If it is because of my change of schedule, she will be very embarrassed."
Anne hesitated slightly and replied, "I'm also going to the magic items auction."
Anne whispered: "But there is one thing that I must explain to Mr. Mecklen. I went to the magic items auction not to buy things, but... the person who killed my aunt was at today's auction. "
Charlotte was shocked and asked: "Mr. Yang Mills is here too? Shouldn't we report it to the city patrol?"
Anne bit her lip and said, "The person holding the auction of magic items is the Duchess of Mesu, and the city patrol cannot enter the venue."
Charlotte immediately understood that although the Fars Empire was a society governed by the rule of law, it was completely different from that of later generations.
In Huang Haisheng's original world, no high-ranking official would dare to openly entertain wanted criminals, but the laws of this world are just a pile of waste paper in front of the nobles.
Power is higher than the law!
The city patrol would not offend a duke for a wanted criminal, especially a powerful noble like the Duchess of Mesu.
Charlotte had heard many rumors about the Duchess of Mesu, but all the rumors could be summarized into one - she was in charge of one-sixth of the empire's navy.
The Northern Fleet is an army inherited from the Duchess of Mesu. It is never loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, but only to the Mesu family.
If Zimmerman Axel Robin hadn't brought back the Pirate King's fleet, and the Duchess of Mesu had lost part of her fleet while exploring the Sea of Rage a few years ago, the size of the Northern Fleet at its peak would have been that of the Imperial Navy. one-half of.
Charlotte was thinking about whether this gadget of hers would be unsightly at such a high-end auction, but she heard the girl's somewhat apologetic voice, saying, "I'm sorry to involve Mr. Mecklund in this matter. But I really need your help."
Charlotte asked with some confusion: "How can I help?"
He didn't think it was a good idea to bid at the Duchess of Metso's auction. Even if the Breton family was powerful, they would never do such a thing.
Anne whispered, "He knows me, but he doesn't know you. You can help me get close to him and put this tracking beetle on him. In this way, even if he leaves the auction, I can track him."
Anne Breton opened her palm, and a small black beetle lay on her slender palm. This black beetle was lifelike, but it was not a living thing, but a magical alchemical creation. You could even see the gears as thin as hair.
Charlotte didn't understand how the magical alchemical creation worked. Although the technology on Earth could do this, the principle was clear and everything was scientific. The magical alchemical creation was chaotic everywhere, and there was no complete theory so far. She could only admire that this world was indeed magical.
This matter seemed like a piece of cake and would not cause any trouble. Charlotte agreed immediately and said with a smile: "I am willing to serve Miss Anne."
The two discussed some details of the action, and the carriage arrived in front of an old house.
Charlotte did not expect that the venue of this magic item auction would be in the Alexandria district.
He had always thought that the magic item auction should be held in the Val d'Oise district, and did not expect it to be in the Alexandria district, and even not too far from the Savings Association Apartment.
