Chapter 169 Caesar
Planet Caesar is an administrative planet on the border of the Federation of Light. It has been serving as a commercial port planet for the Angel Empire and the Federation for thousands of years. It has inherited some aristocratic traditions. Atmospheric pressure is relatively high, so cities are built in the form of ecological circles. From space, the circular cities can be seen all over half of the planet.

When there was still some distance from Caesar Star, Xiao Liu moved the light screen over, and the defense chief of Caesar Star asked for a call. The middle-aged man appeared on the light screen with dark skin and a focused expression. He looked like a capable person.

"For the sake of disturbing your journey, I am Colonel Yide, the defense chief of Caesar Star. I am sorry that your spaceship has not been registered. We cannot trace your origin. Recently, the civil war of the Angel Empire has spread to the border galaxy. So please make an explanation, or we can file it."

Yi Shuihan changed into a gorgeous aristocratic costume, and Xiaoliu had already prepared his identity statement, but he had to use the pyramid optical brain to hack into the database of the opponent's flagship to forge data. Now I just hope that the defense chief will not be too formulaic and rigid. If he can't win a few minutes, then the pyramid will face the attack of the entire planetary destroyer fleet. That kind of situation is not what the grave robber wants to see.

Yi Shuihan coughed lightly, and smiled at the light screen: "Dear Colonel, I would like to ask a question first, and I hope you can give a solid answer. What is the attitude of the Light Federation towards us fleeing nobles from the Angel Empire?" This is very important to me. After all, the privileged class once gave up their identity because they didn’t want to get involved in the battles of the great powers. There are also titles of honor in the Federation, and their functions are not inferior to those of real noble titles. However, the issuance of such honorary titles has strict conditions. Does your country’s House of Elders have such favorable conditions to attract nobles who have escaped the war? "

The grave robber secretly said: "It doesn't matter what you answer, Xiao Liu's progress is almost 40.00%."

Apparently, Colonel Yide didn't expect this black-haired youth who owns a super pyramid to ask such a question, and the Elder's House would not issue any orders at all.There are many autonomous planets in the Federation of Light. Planet Caesar has long been privately controlled by wealthy businessmen, and all taxes belong to individuals. The annual tribute to the old guys in the House is astronomical. It’s impossible to get it. Caesar Star holds power and rich businessmen don’t have the strength. To be honest, these soldiers are all working for the rich. The Federation of Light is a country where money is paramount. On the surface, the claim of “democracy” is just a gimmick. It's okay to fool ordinary people, but if there is a war, the army is just the bodyguards of the rich.If it weren't for the war in the Angel Empire and the rich businessman behind the scenes was particularly sensitive and cautious, he would not have done anything extra when facing such a high-level noble spaceship. The young noble on the light screen didn't know the actual situation of the Federation of Light before he asked this question. He was probably a dude. It is so simple to think about any problem, but such a person still needs to be cautious.

Colonel Yide had not been dealing with the nobles for a short time, and he said to the light screen in a seasoned manner: "The Federation of Light naturally welcomes the nobles of the Angel Empire from afar. And only those who have made extraordinary contributions to this country can be awarded, I haven't asked about your title and name, my lord."

Yi Shuihan glanced at the progress on the light screen. Fortunately, it has reached 60.00% six, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

The look of the tomb robber didn't change much, and he didn't answer Colonel Yide's words directly, but said roguely: "Really, the Federation of Light doesn't pay much attention to us fleeing nobles, and it's my ancestors who are going to sell off alone. The inheritance can have [-] million blue gold points, if we nobles are asked to bring money to the Xinghui Dynasty, then the loss of the Federation in terms of overall national strength will be very large."

Yide's eyes brightened suddenly, thinking that he heard it wrong, this young man actually said it was [-] million blue gold points?Could it be that this kid brought his entire family assets with him?This is really a crazy move, how dangerous would it be to meet a star thief on the road?However, he immediately realized that the other party was driving a super optical pyramid. It was difficult to guess the strength of this kind of spaceship beyond the standard level, and there might be martial arts masters hidden in the spaceship.The arrival of the [-] million blue gold points and this little nobleman is important news, maybe some people will be interested.

The shrewd defense chief immediately realized something was wrong, and thought: "No, nobles with such financial resources are probably rare in the Angel Empire. There must be official records, why can't I find this person in the database? holographic image."

Yi Shuihan watched with satisfaction that the progress was about to be completed, quietly gave Xiao Liu a thumbs up, and said to the light screen dissatisfied: "Your Excellency, Colonel, I hope you can search my holographic image again, although I have I just got the title of first-class viscount, but our small family still has some reputation, my name is Fei Dunan."

Yide felt that the eyes of the young nobleman on the light screen were a bit aggressive. Could it be that his subordinates were negligent in their work?Hastily called the optical brain to search again. With the sound of "Bo", there is indeed feedback information. The eldest son and sole heir of the Fei Dunan family, whose family territory is located in the mineral planet of the Popu galaxy, was awarded the title of first-class viscount in recognition of his long-term contribution to the Angel Empire.

"It turned out to be a mine worker, no wonder he was so arrogant."

Yide accompanied him with a smiling face: "I'm really sorry, we are indeed negligent in our work, so let's not disturb His Excellency Viscount's schedule, welcome to our planet Caesar."

Yi Shuihan is very satisfied with Yide's attitude. The situation of the Bright Federation has long been known. As long as you are rich, these soldiers will not dare to offend you.

The light transmission pyramid rushes towards the atmosphere, and a small one-person spaceship in front of the head receives it. This is the hierarchical treatment. The largest prosperous trading city is chosen as the landing site. Through the light screen, you can see that the planet's flora is very huge. The vegetation in the city is not a minority, and the reinforced concrete buildings are not crowded with skyscrapers, showing a little rustic atmosphere.

The dazzling Pyramid of Light has attracted many people's attention. There are many luxurious spaceships on the mooring platform, but the Pyramid still stands out from the crowd. The big Fat couldn't wait, smiled and twisted the dimensional space ring on his finger, and the Purple Beard resisted it. To the shoulders ready for group action.

Yi Shuihan glanced at the excited Fate with a half-smile, and asked, "There shouldn't be any problem, right?"

The big man replied very energetically: "Don't worry, the boss, the antiques we got from the Mondo Dungeon, the artworks from the Pakenan family cemetery, and the items that the boss handed over to me have never had a chance to be sold. The channels for these things come from It's very secretive, and there is no risk in selling it. The key depends on the purchasing power here and the appreciation of artworks. Collectibles and luxury goods have always been the preferences of nobles. Those wealthy businessmen are just arty. Auction house, fortunately, I have sorted out all the items for this day, it is rare to have a few items appearing in the trading market, I am afraid it will cause a catastrophic wave of selling, are you sure not to keep any of them?"

Yi Shuihan nodded and said: "I won't keep it on hand. Didn't everyone already take a lot of artworks to decorate the spaceship? There will be a chance to get better ones in the future. Dispose of the things and free up the dimensional ring so that we can continue to collect other items , don’t forget that our goal is not here.”

The trade city is well-known on Caesar Star. Some fallen nobles often come here to enjoy the sunshine vacation. There will always be some merchants here who smuggle some strange goods from the Angel Empire. Since it is a trading port planet, there are many black transactions. Sha Beauty Salon is even more engaged in unknown activities, smuggling snake girls from a vassal civilization star system of the Angel Empire. It is as smooth as a virgin within a hundred years, and it is not as dangerous as forced cell activation, so it attracts more and more wealthy people. At night, the level of luxury and luxury in this city that never sleeps is not even comparable to that of the capital city.

This is a very good weather. Walking in the city will not feel the huge pressure of the planet, and the gravity here is also suitable. A group of people walking through the bustling streets is a bit different.

The big guy at the front opened the way, and the big grasshopper on his shoulders still attracted some people's attention. Ordinary people are very resistant to this kind of insect life, and no one wants to get close to it. Then came the fat guy with a machete, dressed like an ancient warrior. The strange thing is No mechanical patrolman dared to come over and disarm, followed by a relatively calm dark-skinned young man with steady eyes and a serious expression, his expression didn't seem to match his age, and behind him was a beautiful lady with conspicuous white hair, looking at it with ease. Buildings on both sides of the street, distracted attention to the promotion of Disha Beauty Salon on the huge billboard, it seems a bit tempting.

There were three more people at the end of the line. An old man had two short braids hanging from his temples to his shoulders. The big braids at the back of his head were dyed lavender. He looked a bit like a hippie, but this old man was dressed meticulously. Red robe, dark green gown inside, some small metal bottles embedded in the belt, and a long square bag on the back, which looks quite mysterious.There is also a small man who hides his whole body in his robes. His figure is just that of a child. I don’t know why he is so secretive. There is a young man sandwiched between an old man and a young man. This man has pure black hair, unlike the others in the team. The person is much more normal than him, and he looks very kind with a faint smile. This person has a calm demeanor, and no one can see through those deep eyes.

In a short time, the largest Longteng Auction House is already standing in front of you. The white stairs and majestic buildings are a bit like a palace or even a court, showing its grandeur and solemnity.As a newcomer, I hired a suspension bus as a guide. The guard was very surprised to see this group of people coming, because it was not yet trading time.

"My lord wants to meet the person in charge of your bank. This time, some family treasures are for sale." The big man was a head taller than the guard, and he had to be looked up at. The insect on his shoulder under the sun looked like a The special second head called these equivalent to bodyguards. The guard was a little scared after seeing it, and hurried to find the person in charge.

A middle-aged man with a flat head and a square face came out of the door. He looked like a guy who had the final say, but this man saw a trace of wretchedness in Lawrence's eyes, which the sensitive tomb robber caught.

"Welcome to you. I heard that Viscount Fei Dunan has come to Caesar Star. It is a great honor for our auction house to have an audience. Hurry up and invite him inside."

He really deserves to be a businessman, well-informed, smiling, and good at talking.

This person's name is Yagnan, and he is the vice president. He is responsible for receiving VIPs and introducing the situation of the auction house while walking. There are dragon signs in many places in the Federation of Light. This is just a Caesar star branch.

In a short time, we came to a spacious hall with azure blue marble floor, transparent crystal glass, and luxurious diamond chandeliers, showing the grandeur and financial resources of the auction house.The large dragon leather sofa can be seen as the most luxurious aristocratic item at a glance. After the guests and hosts were seated, Fate first said on behalf of Yi Shuihan: "Dear President Yagnan, you said that your bank has many kinds of services. I just thought about it. The batch of treasures at hand will be auctioned in different grades. We don’t care about the mid-range items, and we will sell them to the auction house at a unified estimate. Your bank regularly conducts auctions, and the proceeds are remitted to the Interstellar Bank account according to the agreement, so you think there should be no problem, right?"

Agnan thought for a while and said, "It seems that your lord has brought a large number of treasures. It's hard to say without seeing the real thing. Can you take out the things and ask my subordinates to appraise them?"

Yi Shuihan nodded and said: "We were negligent, Fat took out what you thought was a treasure."

"Yes, my lord." Fart opened the Dimensional Ring. After the light passed, the entire hall was piled up like a mountain, and there was almost no place to step down. Yagnan calmed down quickly, and said in his heart: "I can't use a pile of garbage to fool Me? It’s actually a treasure.” He picked up a yellowed physical book from under his feet, opened it, and was so surprised that he couldn’t speak.

"This is? This isn't an out-of-print Bible, is it?" After carefully opening the title page, sweat appeared on his forehead, and he said, "My God, this is indeed a rare and rare Bible from the Earth Era more than 1 years ago. The historical value of this thing is extraordinary. "

Yi Shuihan looked at the book strangely, Fei Long explained in a low voice: "Second Uncle, this is a treasure of the Pakenan family, I found it."

Agnan did not hear the two murmuring privately behind him, for he picked up another painting, looked at it for a moment with the surprise in his eyes that anyone could see, and exclaimed: "A rarity, an absolute rarity, This is the work of the post-abstract master Bodenst, and now there are only two works in the Federation of Light, which are invaluable."

Although the tomb robber still has a lot of treasures in his hands, these treasures with historical value are not bad, but their functions have been ignored. Yi Shuihan does not have the elegance and leisure of those nobles, and collects them mainly for their practicality.What's more, even the best things can be found in the mausoleum. Maybe ten years later, the items auctioned today will be dusty again in the cemetery of a noble family.

"Quickly block the auction house for me, and ask people from the boards of directors of other city branches to send me appraisers. There is a big deal here." Yagnan almost shouted at the light screen.

About an hour later, 50 people had gathered in the hall, all of whom were wearing micro-lenses and equipped with testing equipment, and started a thorough sweep of the mountain of precious collections.

Yi Shuihan and his party have been regarded as uncles, and that Yagnan laughed so hard that it would be difficult not to get promoted after taking over such a large amount of business. Besides, his status in the family is not low, and he goes to the border area as an agent on a routine basis The vice president has achieved such outstanding results in one year. I am afraid that his old man will wake up with a smile in the middle of the night.

People are cheap sometimes. After putting things out, Agnan didn't even dare to look disrespectful, and tried his best to please everyone in the tomb gang.

It was not until dark that the identification was completed, and there were also some fakes inside. Even the fakes were precious collections with a long history and were expensive.

The hall was cleared and all the treasures were put into storage. Yagnan rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "I am afraid that only a family with a long history can collect one or two of these precious collections. Unexpectedly, Mr. Fei Dunan is so rich. I think those collections that you think are medium must also be of high value, so you can see if you can hand them over to our auction house."

Fat stood up, Hong said: "Come on, man, find me a wider square, I can't let it go here."

Agnan happily told his subordinates to handle it, and must pay attention to confidentiality and safety.

Finally, the dimension ring was emptied, including some blue and gold-plated utensils, and there was nothing left.

Yi Shuihan stood up and confessed: "Your Excellency Yagnan, everything here is entrusted to you. If Longteng Auction House has the strength to buy all the auction items, then I hope to exchange them for blue gold points soon and suffer some losses." It doesn't matter, there are still some inherited family collections, if Long Teng is really credible, I think the cooperation will last forever."

Agnan listened carefully to every sentence, and said to himself: "Which idiot once said that the nobles of the Angel Empire are all from bumpkins? The gold content of a viscount is equivalent to a high-end rich businessman, and this viscount must have some good things in his hands. Look at that careless look, what is the concept that even the housekeeper has a dimensional ring? I can't imagine that I have to cling to this nobleman."

The flattering face worked even harder: "Thank you, sir, for entrusting me with this big deal. I have tried my best to raise funds, and I have already sent someone to contact the nearby administrative star branch to try to exchange the blue gold points for you as much as possible. My lord, it will be our greatest honor for Longteng Auction House to maintain a good cooperative relationship."

Yi Shuihan smiled and explained a few words, collected the certified laser receipts and led the people out. He was not worried about Long Teng embezzling these things at all. Firstly, his reputation was here, and secondly, he very much hoped that Longteng would do that. There is an excuse to rob.

A group of people packed a small airship and drove out of the city. The vast night was intertwined with the lush and huge plants. After locating the target valley, it was changed to unmanned. The airship and the birds flying among the trees were almost as few Suddenly, a thunderbolt hit the tallest tree in the forest. With the flames rising, the wind blew up, and the rain brought by the monsoon was overwhelming. The power of nature was undoubtedly revealed, but the real crisis was waiting ahead.
