Lord of the People: Starting from the Goblins

Chapter 128 Auction

The soldier glanced at the young man, and asked with a smile, "Little brother, I should recognize you by your appearance, why don't you introduce me."

The young man hesitated for a moment, but said honestly,

"This is the Bauhinia family from Saint Cyprian, the southern provincial capital, one of the four major families in the kingdom. The person in front of me is obviously an important figure of the Bauhinia family. He is probably either an elder or a favored young lady, otherwise it would be impossible to use The scaled horse is pulling the cart, my lord, although you are a powerful warrior, if you encounter someone with the bauhinia logo, it is better to avoid it, so as not to collide with the opponent."

"The Bauhinia family?"

The soldier was surprised on the surface, but secretly ecstatic.

It really is a member of the Bauhinia family!
After thanking the kind young man, he immediately took his magic pet, Galewind Wolf, into the city, and then went to the poor area to bury the news in a tree.

Underground, the stalker's khaki elemental arm condensed, put the note into his body, and then disappeared here.

The luxurious carriage with the bauhinia logo stopped in front of a huge mansion in the noble residence area.

Two beautiful female guards with swords first stepped down from the carriage, and then a glamorous girl in a white dress also stepped down.

The elite knights of the Bauhinia family who were guarding at the side dismounted one after another. Among them, a handsome blond knight took off his helmet, walked up to the glamorous girl in white, and said with a decent smile,

"Miss Catherine, we meet again."

"Cousin Alec"

Catherine glanced at the handsome knight indifferently, she just nodded her head slightly, and then she didn't care, she led the maid with a sword into the mansion, without giving him a second glance.

After Catherine left, the decent smile that the blond knight Alec had been maintaining gradually faded away, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

"Damn bitch, after I get it, I'll see if you're still so cold on the bed."

After entering the mansion, Catherine briefly tidied up her makeup with the help of the maid, then called the butler who came with her and asked,

"That Baron Donald also lives in this mangrove street now?"

"Yes miss, it's only a 5-minute carriage ride from our residence." The butler replied with a nod.

After pondering for a while, Catherine suddenly said, "Let's go and visit this Baron Donald. I want to see how confident he is in pretending to be my fiancé."

The butler's face changed slightly, but seeing his lady's unquestionable expression, he opened his mouth and said helplessly, "Yes, miss, I'll go get ready."

After the butler left to prepare, Catherine couldn't help muttering,

"Why did my father make a marriage contract for me with a baron's heir when I was young? What exactly did he think, really."

Catherine knew that Baron Donald was not pretending to be her fiancé, but she had to say so to the outside world.

Otherwise, if she admits it, then as the daughter of the Duke of Bauhinia, she has such a relationship with a country baron, and it will become a stain on her and the entire Bauhinia family.

"Father inquired about the news, saying that the opponent's strength is not weak, even the mercenaries at the peak of the sixth level can be defeated. I don't know if it is true, so let the other party go, but this is the news that my father got. It should be close to ten. But it is estimated that it is relying on some equipment to improve its strength."

Catherine frowned slightly.

But even if the opponent is not bad and is a genius, Catherine doesn't like this kind of person.

At the very least, from the news she inquired, the other party shamelessly called herself her fiancé, which is simply to discredit her.

Toad wants to eat!

Ten minutes later, a Catherine arrived in front of the baron's mansion in a luxurious carriage pulled by scaled horses.

What followed was not the butler, but two female guards and a team of ten knights from the Bauhinia family protecting Catherine.

"Knock on the door and tell me that Catherine, the daughter of the Duke of Bauhinia, is visiting."

Catherine's cold and calm voice came from inside the luxurious carriage.

As the captain of the guarding knights, Alec motioned for one of his men to knock on the door.

"Remember to be rude, but don't do it first. It's best to let the servant butler of the other party do it to you first."

Alec said in a low voice to the knights who passed by him, his eyes gleamed with a trace of sternness.

The tall knight frowned, but this was the captain's order, and there was no need to do anything, so he nodded slightly.

Ten seconds later, the knight's tall body was kicked out of the gate heavily, with a drop of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. Seeing this, the surrounding knights immediately surrounded the carriage vigilantly, and some knights stepped forward to pull the injured teammate back.

Lucian walked out of the door, glanced at the group of people calmly, and said,
"The adults of the Zijing family? My master has been waiting for a long time."

"You hurt our brother, don't you plan to give an explanation?" Alec said coldly, with a look of complacency in his eyes.

Sure enough, it was a local turtle from the countryside. Just a simple trick caused the other party to conflict with the family regardless of their status.

"Don't come in? Then welcome the adults of the Bauhinia family to visit the mansion next time." Lucian said with a smile, then stepped back into the door and slammed the door shut.

The carriage and the knights were left in a mess in the wind, with stunned expressions on their faces, a little unbelievable.

What is this operation?
The veins on Alec's forehead were popping out, and he was holding the sword handle tightly. In his heart, he really wanted to rush into the gate and kill the arrogant butler, but this is an aristocratic area, so it would be a big trouble if someone died.

What's more, he is representing the Bauhinia family this time, and he must not leave a stain on the family.

Just when Alec was sullen and wanted to ask his men to knock on the door again, Catherine's voice came from the carriage behind him,
"Since people don't welcome us, let's go."

Catherine's voice was a little cold.

Although she didn't see what happened outside, she heard all the voices.

The other party was so rude, as if they didn't take their Bauhinia family seriously.

In that case
"According to the news from my father, the other party likes to spend a lot of money to show off at the auction. Then the other party will definitely appear at the grand auction tomorrow. I'll see if I teach you a lesson!"

Catherine was also pissed off, she gritted her teeth, a little aggrieved.

After Catherine and others left.

Inside the mansion, Lucien reported to Chen Tao everything that happened just now.

Chen Tao, who was sitting in the gazebo, took a sip of tea leisurely, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"This Bauhinia family is worthy of being a great noble family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. They are so tolerant."

night.

"Master Alec, this is not good, if the matter is exposed, then we will be miserable!"

In the alley outside the aristocratic area, Alec and the three knights took off their conspicuous armor and put on the clothes of ordinary mercenaries.

"It's just a lesson for the other party. What's there to be afraid of? Since the other party feels so humiliated by our Bauhinia family knights, they should think that the result will not be so good!"

Alec said with a cold face.

Waving his hand, watching the people on the road gradually disappear, he led the three men over the alley, then over the courtyard wall, and entered the mansion directly.

Just when the four of them held their breaths and were about to sneak into the room and kill the housekeeper during the day.

Silently, the figure of the khaki stalker appeared under the feet of the four of them, and was bound and taken away by the transformed earth elemental rope.

the next day.

The gate of the auction was full of people, and there were countless mercenaries and nobles coming and going.

The eve of the auction.

There was a knock on the door of Chen Tao's room in the VIP room on the second floor.

Lucian opened the door, and a look of amazement flashed in the eyes of the visitor.

"I am the daughter of the Duke of Bauhinia, Catherine. I heard that your master came to the auction, so I came here to 'visit'."

It was Catherine who came, and she deliberately emphasized the word "visit".

"Let her in."

Chen Tao's lazy voice sounded in the room, which made Catherine take a deep breath.

This time she blew herself up, how could the other party dare to be so presumptuous!

Do you really think that the Bauhinia family is easy to talk and self-restraint, so they have nothing to fear? !

"It was originally intended to let you recognize your identity, but now it seems." Catherine narrowed her eyes slightly and made a decision.

After entering, Catherine sat generously on the fur sofa facing Chen Tao, with the two female guards who had been following her standing behind her.

Lucian stood by the door, motionless.

"Why do you go so far? Come by my side." Chen Tao frowned slightly, and took the lead in attacking.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two female guards behind Catherine changed, and they pressed their hands on the handle of their swords, staring at Chen Tao with killing intent.

The two female guards are not bad in appearance, one is Bronze Level 25 and the other is Bronze Level [-]. They are estimated to be around [-] years old.

"What, the servant dares to attack the master? Don't you know that I am your lady's fiancé?" Chen Tao said deliberately in an unhappy tone.

This made the two female guards even more murderous.

"Miss, this person dares to slander your reputation, do you want me to teach this person a lesson?!" A female guard asked coldly.

Catherine, who was sitting on the soft monster fur sofa, frowned slightly, and said calmly, "The other party is right, she is indeed my fiancé, you stand down."

With that said, Catherine got up, came to Chen Tao's side, and sat down.

Chen Tao was quite surprised that the other party directly admitted that he was her fiancé, but after thinking about it, there were no outsiders in this VIP room, so whether to say it or not was just the other party's casual words.

"This little girl is probably trying to make me relax my vigilance, mistakenly thinking that she is subdued, and she probably has some ideas to plot against me." Chen Tao thought secretly, but on the surface he put on a happy face.

He smiled and pulled the distance between the two of them closer by only a few palms, but he didn't make any rude moves afterwards.

The place where Catherine touched the man's thigh froze slightly, and a look of coldness and disgust flashed in her eyes. She really wanted to slap the man, but in order to teach the man a profound lesson, she forcibly held back her emotions.

"Why, you two servants still want to attack the master? Didn't you see that your lady didn't speak?" Chen Tao glanced at the two female guards who had half drawn their weapons and couldn't bear it, and said sneeringly.

Chen Tao obviously saw the corners of the female guard's eyes twitching, but seeing that his lady did not stop her, he had no choice but to put away his weapon, but there was a hint of bewilderment in his eyes.

After following their own lady for seven or eight years, they couldn't believe that the lady who used to be clean and contemptuous of men would become so well-behaved.

It would be fine if he is a man who understands etiquette, is powerful, and is extremely talented, but what is this man in front of him?

He doesn't know etiquette, is arrogant and domineering, and his strength doesn't show how strong he is, he's all skinny and tender.

Just when several people were thinking about it, a middle-aged man who presided over the auction smiled slightly and said,
"The auction has officially started, so I won't make any fuss, and go directly to the first auction item!"

"The Blue Wind Sword is a sword master-level magic weapon made by Elf Master Edwin. This magic weapon can increase the sword speed and attack of strong wind-attribute fighting spirit sword masters by 30%~40%, and greatly increase the sword energy. It is one of the few sword master-level boutique magic weapons!

The starting price is [-] gold coins, and each increase must not be less than [-] gold coins! "

The auction host struck down with a hammer to start the bidding session, and immediately looked at the exquisite blue rapier on the stage with fiery eyes.

"Eleven thousand gold coins!" shouted a merchant.

"It's only [-] pieces. You can't buy a weapon of this level with this amount of money. I'll give you [-] gold coins!"

The bidder was still a businessman in the ordinary seat below.

For businessmen, buying such a high-level weapon is not a loss, whether it is to give favors or strengthen the strength of the business group.

In the past few months, there have been disputes and bloody incidents everywhere on the mainland. These sensitive merchants have sensed the danger, and they are all buying various items to enhance their strength and save their lives.

As time passed, the bid for the Qingfeng Sword also became higher and higher, and soon reached [-] gold coins.

In the VIP room No. [-], Catherine, who had been patient all this time, finally made a move. She said softly to Chen Tao,

"I happen to be short of a weapon with the right attributes, you see."

Women obviously don't know how to be coquettish, but a cold and stunning woman who is the daughter of a great nobleman doesn't need to act coquettishly at all. Many men can't stand it, let alone Baron Donald?
"Then buy it! I will treat it as a gift for you." Chen Tao smiled slightly, and then casually said to a female guard,
"Bid twenty-five thousand gold coins."

Originally, she felt very disgusted by being instructed, but when she heard this amount of gold coins, the female guard's little heart skipped a beat.

In order to avoid the man's remorse, the female guard walked to the table in the VIP room very quickly and entered the bidding data.

This is a magic item unique to the VIP room, a gadget, even if it reflects the difference between the VIP room and the rough people below.

"No. 125 bids 125 gold coins once! No. 125 bids [-] gold coins twice! Is there anything else? If not, then No. [-] bids. Yes, yes, VIP No. [-] bids [-] gold coins !"

As soon as the price was announced, the few people below who were still insisting on the offer suddenly had no choice but to give up.

This Qingfeng sword is just an ordinary seventh-level magic item, and the price fluctuates between [-] and [-].

This time it cost [-], which is already beyond the value of this magic sword, and it was too bad to buy it.
