I have a shelter

After this matter was settled, George felt much more relaxed.

Lord Wolf had a lot of face here. In addition to his good relationship with several major shareholders, there seemed to be other reasons.

George didn't know what the reason was, but after seeing him bring people upstairs, the manager didn't ask for invitations or anything like that, but directly welcomed them to the lounge area.

As soon as he entered the door, George heard the elegant music. The people talking softly in front of him made him think he had come to a big salon.

The halls and rooms were cleverly interspersed with corridors, and large and small areas complemented each other.

Whether the nobles had similar interests and wanted to get together; or wanted to be free and talk for a long time; or to enjoy elegant music and rest quietly. They could find a suitable place.

After Lord Wolf entered the door, many people smiled and nodded, and cast friendly eyes on him and the friends he brought. Some people were looking at Lord Fernado behind him, and some were looking at his profound knowledge. Some people knew that his identity was a bit special.

But no matter what, everyone knows that the scholars he often interacts with are not ordinary people - either court wizards or university scholars in the opposition. This makes everyone cast curious eyes on these two unfamiliar scholars.

After sending away several scholars who wanted to visit, Ives said to George: "Sir, today we didn't make a reservation in advance, and the good seats on the upper floor of the auction are full. I asked someone to reserve a few pretty good seats on the first floor. If you don't like it here, we can go there now."

In fact, only a few people can enter this lounge, and most people are already in the auction hall.

"No need, just stay here for a while." George leaned comfortably on the big sofa, and looked at a very quiet corner in the lounge with interest - there, he saw a few acquaintances.

'I didn't expect these girls to come here, yes. It seems that Fernado invited me to attend this auction at the banquet before. '

In George's sight, Tanya, Rona and Sofia were playing pitch pots over there, and Fernando was picking up sticks for the ladies in a very gentlemanly manner. The great adventurer Count Brenda was standing there, boasting to the three girls.

Obviously Tanya was the best player, but Rona was always in the front by cheating. The good-tempered Sofia was always at the bottom, but he was very happy.

These three girls made most of the attention in the hall focus there. Some nobles couldn't help but want to come forward to talk, but they were stopped by several Iron Wall Knights in ordinary clothes.

"Today in Bishui City, a group of big people came." After seeing George's eyes, Yves whispered: "Did you see the lady with long green hair, her brother"

Speaking of this, Yves suddenly closed his mouth. After a pause, his face suddenly turned pale. After blinking fiercely, he stopped talking about it and introduced another group of people.

During Ives's mechanical introduction, George looked at Rosgerd with an embarrassed face: "Rosgerd, I'm actually under the Seven Gods."

Hiljak heard every word of the two guys' communication in their minds.

He knew their thoughts very well.

But then he thought that he had indeed inherited the legacy of the Seven Gods. Although the whole process was contrary to their guess, it seemed that this matter could not be explained to these two guys who were obsessed with it.

Listening to the two guys' increasingly terrifying words in their minds, George stood up woodenly and walked away to another place.

He quietly used Hiljak's mental power to disrupt the sticks flying into the pitching pot, and felt great pleasure in his evil smile.

Rona suddenly turned her head and glared at the troublemaker not far away. Obviously, she did not recognize this guy.

After she whispered to her two playmates, the three girls glanced at the troublemaker, and then a knight drove away the scholar with a lecherous look.

At this time, the auction was about to start. After George saw that Ives's face had returned to normal, he proposed to go first.

When entering the venue, George saw that some temporary participants paid the performance bond here, but his group skipped this procedure.

"Sir, not everyone has to pay the bond. For example, I often go in and out of the auction house and have a lot of "inventory" here. In addition, many large chambers of commerce also have contracts with auction houses - in auctions of this level, the amount is generally very large. Currency is very difficult to settle. Therefore, many nobles who belong to the chamber of commerce will choose to pay for goods in a more convenient way - the chamber of commerce has a large amount of liquid funds, and the nobles have many fixed industries in the chamber of commerce, which makes those sellers who are anxious to get the money more willing to come here, and the nobles can also slowly pay the chamber of commerce with their own "mortgage."

'Bank! 'A word flashed in George's mind. In this world, although the banking system is not yet perfect, the economic structure formed between the major chambers of commerce has already given it a prototype.

In fact, the development of alchemy technology has begun to slowly give rise to the prototype of capital.

The auction house is not very big, but its layout is like an elegant opera house. In this circular space, the main color is red, supplemented by gold. The large ceiling on the dome and the chandeliers on the upstairs stands illuminate the place.

When George and others came in, the first floor was almost full of people. Amid the noisy voices, the person in charge invited them to the small stand on the side of the first floor. Although the view here is not as good as the upstairs stand, it is very comfortable.

While watching the murals on the dome, the bidders have already taken their seats one after another. After searching for half a circle here, George found Tanya and others. It seems that because they also grabbed seats temporarily, they did not occupy the best position. But they sat on the stands on the second floor diagonally opposite.

George noticed that many nobles were talking about the gems and silver in the Black Pearl Valley. It seems that the news released in Fallen Leaf City has spread here. In their opinion, this seems to be a very good investment opportunity.

In addition, these people are also very interested in "treasure hunting" and alchemy furnaces, especially those Randall people. They all seemed to know which castle had dug out what kind of alchemical furnace and who had obtained it, and they were very envious.

In fact, in order to prevent the outflow of strategic items such as alchemical furnaces, the policy of Bishui City was actually restricted - at the beginning, such things were not allowed to be traded, and the lords also had an agreement with Luo Dunke that such treasures could only be sold to Bishui City.

However, the black market trade could not be blocked, which made Bishui City finally change its policy and allow bidding at the auction house, but no matter who got it, it could only be used in the city.

"Xiu, will there be alchemical furnaces in the auction house today?"

"There are indeed a few extremely special good things in today's finale. However, there is no alchemical furnace - they have appeared less and less in the auction house recently. Now that they have been dug out, they have basically flowed into the hands of several forces and become their endless cash cows." Ives said slowly: "These things used to be placed in those castles, and the nobles racked their brains all day to study how to use them to burn scrap iron. It can be said that they are cruel natural things. Now, they really have a chance to shine."

George heard what Ives meant from what he said - these alchemical furnaces are now in the hands of wizards.

"Do you know who has most of these things?" George came here to be a bandit, and he is very concerned about this kind of thing.

At this time, Ives has completely synchronized the information with Rosgerd. After hearing what the boss said, he understood what he meant.

After thinking for a while, Yves quietly snapped his fingers, and a slight change occurred in the small stand compartment. The sound became so loud that it required a special frequency to get out, and people outside could not detect it unless they used mental or magical detection.

He replied:

"Sir, in fact, there are not many completely independent groups like us on the continent. Most wizards have to rely on nobles - whoever has the most mineral veins, channels and silver foxes, will have the most scholars around him." Yves said: "So in the city of Clearwater, half of the alchemical furnaces are actually controlled by the Duke - whether it is Fernando or the wizards under the earls, they will eventually be placed in the court. It's just that the Duke finally takes the goods, and they take the money."

"As for the other half, they are all Randall people - this group of vampires came here for money. For those alleys, materials and the reinforcement of Clearwater City, the Duke had to make concessions." Yves said: "These furnaces are distributed in various urban areas, which are difficult to move and have many people to guard them."

Now Yves's information is basically synchronized with Rosgerd. As for what this person wants to do here, he has completely "understood" according to his own logic.

So what he said directly hit the point where George was concerned.

After hearing Yves' words, George frowned slightly. If the situation of the furnace is so complicated, they may not have time to grab more before leaving. And those Randall people, after receiving the news of the defeat on the front line, may have taken away the things in their hands as soon as possible with the convenience of shipping.

However, after seeing the boss frowning, Rosgerd smiled slightly: "Sir, it is actually very simple to take these things away-although the alchemical furnace is large, it is only some core components that are really difficult to copy. When the resting bird comes to the door, the scholars who take care of the furnace will know what to do."

Looking at this old guy, George's eyes lit up slightly-as expected, this old guy is very tactful.

After a few words of conversation, the auction has gradually begun.

The first ones to be auctioned to warm up the scene are all collections of the great noble families. Some of them are the "rewards" obtained by the lords during the cleanup, and some are taken out by the Rodunk nobles themselves in order to organize the army-but in order to look good, they will find an intermediary to bid on their behalf.

As for some things with obvious family symbols, it is also easy to explain - they were lost in the black tide.

Many of the things were put up by the agent Yves. Some of them were sent under the name of "Wolverine's Mysterious Magic House", and some were sent by Yves to some clearing teams for a second time.

But only Ives knew which ones were obtained by cheating from those illiterate mercenaries and which ones were commissioned by the nobles.

However, no matter who or where they came from, what was brought to the auction house were precious treasures with a long history or fame. Each of those jewels had a name, and the paintings might be the works of painters of the same level as "Van Gogh" and "Da Vinci". Ancient armor and gold coins are of great collection significance.

Each of these items aroused great interest among the nobles under the auctioneer's narration.

Even after George heard it, he suddenly felt that if he bought these things and used them to give to women or decorate castles, it would be a face-saving thing.

For collectors, the auction during this period after the black tide is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. These heirlooms have been suppressed to extremely low prices. After buying them now, they will wait for the black tide to end, or even decades later when the fog will dissipate. Their value will increase by dozens or hundreds of times.

Scholars are also very enthusiastic about these things, because among those jewels, it is hard to say which one is "special".

"My lord, except for the things that may be temporarily put up for auction tonight, I have seen most of the items before." Ives said slowly: "Although there are many famous goods today, they are all "ordinary". If they are purely used for alchemy, it is very uneconomical. It is not as real as those raw stones."

Generally speaking, the more stories the handed-down jewels have experienced, the more likely they will give birth to some wonderful powers in contact with people. But according to Ives, today's things may not have good things like the "Heart of Black Pearl".

And this kind of thing, generally as long as it passes through Ives's hands, it does not need to be in this auction house, and the seller will ship it through a safer channel and a more satisfactory price.

However, when a few things were auctioned, George widened his eyes. When bidding, he looked at the excited and nervous faces of Tanya and the other two on the stage, and knew that she put them up.

However, the painting that was eventually bought by Silver Fox for 700 yuan made the three girls depressed.

"Unlike jewelry, foreign nobles now have a tacit understanding of the price of such collections." Ives sighed and said, "The Rape of Davina (a famous marriage robbery in a mythological story) is considered a relatively precious collection in Delong County. Although there are some unrepaired dirty marks on it, its price was far more than that."

'At least 700,000 yuan was put into the account.' George smacked his lips. The price of this thing was within his calculation. When Gale was in Yongfeng City before, he used wine to buy goods. Speaking of which, the price of art has risen a lot now.

"Sir, the painting you just auctioned can be given to me to repair next time. If we arrange some suitable channels and sell it to the south, its price will be much higher." Ives said so. He didn't dare to reveal the price for fear of irritating the boss. According to the goods he had sold, this painting would cost at least 5,000 silver foxes.

However, in the subsequent auctions, these two guys began to show their understanding.

There was a 'Lady Shahua's brooch', which was made of rubies and bricks, and more than a hundred gems formed a lifelike red rose, which was extremely gorgeous under the light.

After seeing this thing, Tanya couldn't let it go and wanted to take it for herself. George also snatched it from her several times because of this.

Its total weight is 103 carats, and the average gem is less than one carat. According to the market price at that time, a 1-carat gem with good quality could be sold for 5-10 silver foxes, which was already good. If there was no attention from the wizards, the price would probably be lower. However, according to George and his team's initial estimate, this piece of jewelry with excellent craftsmanship was considered a big piece of the harvest. It should not be a problem to auction it for 2,000 silver foxes.

But after Rosgerd started raising his hand, the situation began to change.

In the crazy bidding of scholars and nobles, it was finally sold for more than 12,000 silver foxes!

"I've made a fortune. I've made more than 10 million?!" Looking at the final price, George's eyes widened.

"Sir, although this brooch has no age or story, its craftsmanship is excellent. And the battle of killing demons in Hongzhuang has added a mythical color to it." Ives took the opportunity to flatter: "This price of 12,000 is not worth letting it be covered in dust."

George was slightly stunned. He looked at the great appraiser in his eyes, as well as the scholars and nobles around him who were quietly paying attention to this, and suddenly a flash of lightning lit up in his mind.

This thing was put up tonight, and very few people have seen it. But if someone can recognize the 'real value' of this thing at a glance, it is probably the great appraiser Lord Wolf

Coupled with the mysterious color given by the 'King of Scavenging Demons'

'These two big liars acting! Scholars really have a lot of twists and turns in their stomachs! This time I’m going to make a fortune!’
