First Wizarding World War

Alexandria, a commercial district, is equivalent to CBD (Central Business District) on Earth, and is the core area of ​​a city. However, in the Fars Empire, Val d'Oise is the cultural and administrative center.

The two got off the carriage, and Anne handed over an invitation. The old butler at the door politely welcomed the two to enter.

Charlotte had no doubt that if Anne didn't bring it, he would definitely not be able to enter.

This ancient house covers an area of ​​about five acres. After entering, you can see all kinds of guests coming and going, which is very lively.

Charlotte asked with a little curiosity: "How can I sell my magic items at the magic item auction?"

Before Anne could answer, there was a hearty voice saying, "I wonder if this gentleman has any magic items to sell?"

Charlotte looked up slightly and saw a well-dressed elderly gentleman smiling at her. He also smiled politely and said, "It's a multi-headed flail." He opened the package in his hand and revealed the handle of the multi-headed flail.

The elderly gentleman said, "Can I take a closer look?"

Charlotte handed over the package in her hand.

The elderly gentleman took the package steadily, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Let me introduce myself. I opened a magic item store called Louis's Store. My name is Louis Simi."

Charlotte smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Simi, I hope to have the opportunity to patronize your store often."

Louis Simi handed over a card with his name, the name of the store, and the address on it.

Charlotte took the business card with great interest. When he crossed over, business cards had been eliminated. Everyone only exchanged phone numbers and WeChat.

Louis Smith said, "I don't want to buy this multi-headed flail, but I can recommend a good buyer for you."

Charlotte was very happy and said, "Thank you, Mr. Smith."

Louis Smith smiled and said, "You can call me Louis. I haven't asked your name yet?"

Charlotte replied, "Charlotte Mecklen, you can call me Charlotte, my friends all call me that."

He sent a consulting look to Anne, and Anne followed them calmly.

Charlotte wanted to settle her own small business first, and then accompany Anne to settle Yang Mills, but since Anne was willing to accompany him, he had no reason to refuse.

Louis complimented Anne's beauty without leaving any trace, and Anne politely accepted it. The attitudes of both of them revealed the falseness and sophistication of the upper class.

Charlotte also knew this skill, but did not want to participate in this hypocritical social interaction, and silently followed Louis Smith to a room.

Louis said loudly: "Mr. Lucas, I have collected a multi-headed flail for you."

A sturdy man who was talking to a friend looked over.

This guy was wearing a military uniform and his rank was quite high. Charlotte was not very good at reading these badges and could only make a rough judgment based on the complexity.

When Lucas saw Louis Simi take out the multi-headed flail, his eyes lit up immediately. He strode over, gently picked it up, shook it, and said: "The enchantment has completely collapsed. Can you repair it?"

Louis Simi smiled and said: "Master Leo is here, and there is no problem repairing the enchantment."

Lucas nodded and said: "I want the things, how much is it?"

Louis said: "We are old friends, I will only charge you 140 ecu."

Lucas nodded and said: "Repair the enchantment and send it to my house."

Louis agreed with a smile, and Lucas said nothing else and went back to chat with his friends.

Louis took Charlotte to a corner where no one was around and whispered, "This multi-headed flail needs to be re-enchanted, and the cost of repair is about fifty francs. I am willing to pay seventy-five francs to buy it. What do you think?"

Charlotte smiled and said, "No problem."

This price was higher than he expected.

Louis took out his wallet, counted out fifteen fifty-franc banknotes and handed them to Charlotte, saying, "Happy cooperation."

To be honest, Charlotte had never touched this largest denomination of banknotes, let alone fifty francs, he had never even touched twenty francs, and the largest denomination of banknotes he had touched was ten francs.

Charlotte took the banknote, verified its authenticity with the method she learned in school, put the banknote into her wallet, and said with a smile: "Louis, I'm lucky to meet you, otherwise I don't know what to do?"

"This is my first time doing business."

Louis laughed and said: "Please take care of my shop in the future."

The two chatted for a while, and Louis Smith said: "With Miss Anne accompanying me, it would be very tactless for me to stay by your side. I won't bother you anymore. Next time I will come to explain some little secrets of the business world and auctions to you."

He handed the package in his hand to the servant who had been following him, and left with a smile.

Anne whispered: "Louis is a very powerful businessman, you must be careful when trading with him."

Charlotte nodded. He really didn't think there would be many opportunities to do business with Mr. Louis Smith.

Where did he get the source of magic items?

The other party was running a high-end business.

Charlotte put the wallet into her inner pocket without leaving any trace and pressed it down. The thick banknotes in the wallet made her feel safe.

Even in his previous life, he had never received such a large sum of money.

Seventy-five Ecu is roughly equivalent to 2 to 2.2 million RMB.

Even in his previous life, it was enough for him to buy a house, or at least for the down payment.

Charlotte and Anne walked around the old house for a few times, and roughly understood what the auction of this era was like.

Before the auction officially started, guests would be allowed to trade privately. Only those who could not complete the transaction or were not satisfied with the price would formally submit the magic items in their hands to the auction.

The Fars Empire did not have a formal auction organization, and the business was not well developed, so this kind of auction was very dependent on the prestige of the organizer.

Not long after Charlotte and Anne walked around, Anne whispered: "I saw him. Let's not communicate for the time being and pretend not to know him."

Charlotte smiled slightly, and under Anne's guidance, he also saw Mr. Yang Mills, who had a lot of entanglements with him.

Yang Mills was a tall and sinister man, about 40 or 50 years old, with good taste in clothes. Every piece of clothing was very exquisite and matched in style. He held a cane in one hand, which was inlaid with gold wire and a gem, which looked extremely expensive and was completely different from military goods. He clenched his fist in the other hand, reflecting a small part of his agitated emotions.

Charlotte stared at Yang Mills and strode past.
