my age of magic

Chapter 1092 195. Private Auction
The housekeeper was standing at the entrance of the stairs in the corridor, holding a letterhead with silver embossing in her hand. Betty ran over and had a low conversation with the housekeeper, and then brought back the letterhead with silver embossment. I sat up in my arms, took the letter paper with exquisite silver decorations, and unfolded the letter paper casually. I saw the words 'invitation...' and so on written on it from the side.

Alia just glanced at the letter paper, raised her curved willow eyebrows slightly, and then handed the letter paper to me.

I took the letterhead and read the contents before I knew it was an invitation letter. Basically, it was to invite Mrs. Alia to participate in a private auction. At that time, if Alia had any high-end products that she wanted to sell, You can also get it to participate in the bidding at the auction.

I returned the invitation letter to Alia and asked her, "The other party wants you to bring some spider silk magicweave cloth to the auction?"

Mrs. Alia brushed her blond long hair and said to me: "Well, there are always some special things in the hands of these private auctioneers. They hold these small auctions to gather some popularity. We will also invite consignors who have more popular products in their hands to the auction. In short, if you go, it means you have come into contact with a new sales channel. In the future, other products can also be auctioned. This is a matter of mutual benefit. But this kind of auction will have restrictions, so the goods at the auction must be high-end goods."

She reinserted a golden hairpin on the top of her head, and when she raised her arms to lift her long hair, she revealed her snow-white and slender neck, as elegant as a white swan, she can always reveal a different style inadvertently .

"Who is the owner of this invitation letter?" I asked curiously.

Aliya carefully identified the signature of the invitation letter, and said to me: "Marquis Jonathan, I have heard his name before, he is a well-known demon hunter in the Imperial City, and he has served as the leader of many large adventure groups , It seems that it settled down after the outbreak of the plane war, and the small auction he held is estimated to have some high-quality high-grade leather, are you interested in taking a look?"

I thought about it and asked her, "When is the auction? I want to see if there is time."

Aliya opened the invitation letter again, her eyes fell on the lower left corner, her expression froze for a moment, and then she said to me: "It says... today!"

When I heard her say that, I looked at it in surprise. Such an invitation letter was only delivered today, which is a bit rude to that Marquis Jonathan.

I said, "Today?...afternoon?"

Alicia nodded.

"In such a hurry?" I asked her.

Aliya didn't pay much attention, and threw the invitation letter to Betty, then turned to me and said, "This kind of small auction is just like this, you will never be given more time to prepare, and you will not only send an invitation letter to one person." , opportunities will only be reserved for those who are prepared, as for whether you can buy what you want, it depends on luck."

No wonder the housekeeper went to the corridor on the top floor to look for Alia. It turned out that it was because of the time written on the invitation letter.

Aliya took my arm and asked me: "Have you thought about it, will you go?"

I hesitated for a while, and although I didn't really want to participate, I still agreed, and I said, "Okay! I have nothing to do this afternoon."

Mrs. Aliya smiled charmingly, pursed her sexy lips slightly, and said to me: "Recently...you seem to be very leisurely, has the matter over at the Magic Academy come to an end?"

Walking into the spiral staircase of the tower with Mrs. Alia, I replied: "Not yet, I made an appointment with Yerkes to see you in the evening. Today is the weekend, and there are no magic classes at the college. photos on the website, hiding at home and unwilling to come out.”

Immediately, Aliya happily ordered to the personal maid Betty: "Betty, you go and arrange it, let the housekeeper put ten pieces of cloth into the magic caravan, and each piece of cloth should be packed in a small magic box."

Betty agreed: "Okay, master."

Sometimes, I can't help but sigh with emotion, Betty is really a right-hand man by Alia's side.

Aliya tugged at her long blond hair in distress, and said to me: "I'm going to take a shower first and change into a new dress. It seems that I have to hurry up..."

……

Facts have proved that Aliya was right when she said that she must hurry up. The time she spends on grooming and grooming every day is definitely enough for me to draw a magic pattern structure.

If someone asks me: what do you like about this castle?I will tell him without hesitation that I really like the design of the twin towers of this castle, and the round arched corridor on the top floor is the finishing touch, but if I talk about the decoration and interior design, I prefer this kind of castle The kitchen here is completely semi-open design.

This restaurant is connected to the kitchen. There are two chefs employed in Aliya's manor, one is good at cooking meat and the other is good at making pastries.Whether it's the maid, the cook, or the two chefs who cook the food, they all make the food under my nose. The fresh and top-quality ingredients they process are definitely the best that can be seen in the imperial capital market. good stuff.

It can be said that Alicia is quite particular about what she eats, but just to wait for Aliya to have lunch together after taking a shower, my lunch time had to be postponed for half an hour, and when Aliya came out wearing a bathrobe, The barbecue on the table was completely cold, and in order to wear a long court dress with a waist, Aliya's lunch only consisted of a small piece of bread and three slices of beef, and she didn't even dare to drink too much water.

After lunch, Alicia invited me to watch her fitting in the dressing room.

I sat on the comfortable soft leather sofa, which was the best place in the fitting room, and there was a maid beside me holding delicate refreshments for me.

Aliya stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror and chose an apricot-yellow long dress on the clothes rack. This kind of court dress had a large skirt, and her shoulders and chest were exposed with a large area of ​​fair skin.

Her skin is like milk, and this kind of court dress looks really beautiful. Because of the corset, she sits very straight and needs to breathe in small mouthfuls, and every time she breathes, the low-cut dress The breasts exposed on the cups will increase with the inhalation, as if the pair of rabbits are breaking free from their restraints and jumping outside every moment.

The maids standing beside her looked enviously at her slender waist and exquisite long skirt. It seemed that women in the imperial capital liked this kind of long skirt with a low cut and narrow waist.

This is the most popular style of court dress in the imperial capital at the moment. I happen to know that the dress that Alia gave Fanny before may be of this style, and I don't know if Fanny can wear it.

Alia clapped her hands in satisfaction until she had dressed herself up, and motioned for Betty to call the magic caravan to the gate of the castle.

Sitting on the magic caravan, I sat across from Alia and asked her: "Is it hard to breathe with such a tight skirt?"

Alicia nodded slightly and said, "It's okay."

The magic caravan drove out of this exquisite manor along the straight stone road, the carriage merged into the traffic on the street, and drove all the way to the North District.

She blinked, smiled and said to me: "Oh, by the way, I haven't congratulated you on becoming an official inscriber yet."

I rubbed my temples with my fingers, and said to Aliya: "Although this blessing came a bit late, I still want to thank you. I also prepared a small gift for you."

She seemed a little surprised, and quickly asked me: "What is it?"

I pointed to her feet under her long skirt. Every time I saw her wearing hard crystal shoes, I would have this feeling: If I really use this kind of shoes to walk long distances, my feet will probably be broken.

So I said to her, "I can tattoo you a delicate magic pattern, just on your ankle. I promise you will get unexpected benefits."

She pulled up the hem of the long skirt, threw off her shoes, and exposed her delicate white snow feet. Her five toes are round and well-proportioned, with slender arches. This kind of foot looks very light when walking like a cat.

Alicia asked me, "I wonder what the unexpected benefit is?"

"When you run or dance, your body is as light as the wind, let me think about how to describe it, oh, that's the kind...it will make you look like a butterfly fluttering on the dance floor." I said to Alicia.

"What's so strange about this, I was good at dancing." Aliya said unceremoniously, then changed the subject and said to me: "However, speaking of it, I have never paid attention to the magic lines of the inscriber. , I heard that these magic patterns can only be used on magicians and powerful constructed knights, even if ordinary people have them, they can only be treated as ordinary tattoos, are you sure you want to tattoo a pair of magic patterns on ordinary people like me?"

I said emphatically, "It's a small gift from me to you."

She laughed and said to me: "This gift is really unique. Does it mean that after becoming an inscriber, there will be an urge to tattoo other people's bodies?"

I thought about it seriously, and then answered her, "Well, that's not going to happen!"

"Do you want to get it tattooed here?" She pointed to her snow-white chest and asked me with a smile, her eyes were full of charm.

"Well, it's better not to, I'm afraid you will never have the courage to wear a court dress again." I looked away slightly embarrassed and looked out the window.

Aliya rolled her eyes, smiled at me and said, "I'm really looking forward to this little gift, otherwise we won't be going to the auction, it just so happens that you have time in the afternoon, let's go back to the manor to honor your gift .”

"Ah..." I broke out in sweat.

She laughed and said, "Giggle, I'm just kidding you!"

Aliya's melodious laughter swayed through the carriage like silver bells on the busy street.

……

On such a sunny afternoon, our magic caravan was speeding towards the auction site of Marquess Jonathan.

Unexpectedly, the auction venue of this small auction was actually set in a manor that looked a bit depressed. This manor originally planted some tropical plants, but the heating magic circle that maintained these tropical plants was suspended due to lack of magic crystals. Heat supply, so in the autumn of the imperial capital, the garden became withered and yellow, as if the 'withering' magic had been cast by a necromancer.

A swimming pool is full of water, but the pool is full of fallen leaves, and it has not been cleaned for a long time. The lawn on both sides of the pool is full of weeds, and it is estimated that no one has trimmed it this summer.

The granite castle in the manor still looks so solemn and solemn, which makes it easy to think of the former glory here.

This is the fourth block, where the nouveau riche gather in the imperial capital.

After making money, many businessmen will choose to buy a gorgeous courtyard in the fourth block. However, the current world is not good, and it just happened to catch up with the plane war. Many businesses have become very sluggish. The mine owners who opened the mine were basically eliminated directly, and other businesses were not so easy to operate.

Although the courtyard of the manor was covered with withered and yellow leaves, there were more than [-] gorgeous magic caravans parked. The drivers of those magic caravans gathered together, sitting and chatting on the benches by the pool, and chatting one after another. A magic caravan rolls in through the door.

Our magic caravan stopped at the gate of the castle, and Arya walked out of the magic caravan, holding my arm.

There was a butler standing on the steps of the gate of the castle, holding a black leather handbook in his hand, seeing us stepping off the magic caravan, he hurried up to welcome us, when he saw Alia, he hurriedly said to Alia Liya saluted and said: "Ms. Aliya, thank you for coming to this auction. I wonder if you have prepared the auction this time. If so, I will register it for you and then determine the order of the auction. If not, please invite two distinguished guests to enter the venue first, wait a while, the auction is about to start."

Alia glanced at Betty beside her, and Betty, the maid, came up knowingly and communicated with the butler, but Alia and I did not stop, but walked into the castle with the flow of people.

The venue for the auction is in the hall on the first floor of the castle. The hall is filled with exquisite indigo wood chairs, each chair has a soft cushion. There are about 200 chairs in the entire venue, and half of them are now There were some nobles sitting on it, and these people gathered together in twos and threes to discuss a lot, and some maids in light gauze dresses shuttled among them carrying refreshments.

The high platform of the auction is a wide slow platform on the stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor, covered with a gorgeous red carpet, a middle-aged man in aristocratic attire is instructing the attendants in the auction venue to clear out a wider area. Space.

It seems that many people at the venue know Alia. When they saw her walking in with me, they all looked at us. As long as you are not a deadly enemy, you still have to maintain the proper etiquette.

Several nobles left their seats and walked towards us. These people greeted Aliya familiarly, and then began to ask whether Aliya wanted to auction the fabric of the spider silk magicweave at this auction. , After they heard Alia's clear answer, they were all surprised. Immediately, some nobles complained that the production of spider silk magic weave cloth was too low, and the orders from the textile workshop had been delayed all the time. Set aside some and bring them to the auction.

Aliya didn't take it seriously either, and dismissed them with a few words, and we waited quietly for the auction to start.
