Chapter 8 Ancestral Treasure, Wind of Glory(1/2)
Donald, who got elemental crystals and iron ore, was quiet for two days and had not left the room, and even reduced his meal to one meal a day.
During this period, he had no other move except to instruct the butler to use the remaining money in his hands to spend a few Kingsols to buy a carriage and two medium horses.
The housekeeper Kede has also heard some rumors about the mages' cultivation habits and quirks. He is not concerned about the strange behavior of his young master, but is secretly happy. The only thing he is worried about is that the young master's cultivation is too hard and exhausted. So he invested a lot in that meal, and tried his best to hope that the young master can supplement more nutrition. If this continues, the remaining three or four goldsors in his hand will soon be spent only one or more silver months.
But Kod didn't care about these things. As long as the young master completed his cultivation, he could earn as much as Jinsol.
Another day passed, Donald, who hadn't had a good sleep in the past two days, came out of his room with a refreshed look.
After summoning the Soul Walker twice at the cost of two level 2 crystal cores, he has become a mage apprentice who has successfully meditated. He can initially mobilize his mental power and cast some simple small spells, such as moving a small feather or leaf to make it float in the air, or lighting a candle out of thin air. These spells are level 0 spells with no attack power, and are also called tricks or apprentice spells. The mental power reaches a certain level and can be used flexibly, so you can spontaneously learn these spells.
The meditation effect makes him still full of energy even if he has not slept for two days. The meditation process can replace part of the sleep effect. In addition, people feel so energetic when they are happy, so he seems so energetic.
After enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, Donald saw Codra pulling him to the uninhabited backyard, not knowing what to do inside, and then he saw the master and servant come out mysteriously carrying a long gray cloth bag.
After returning to the room and tidying up, wearing the newly purchased clothes, Donald took Clinton and Cod into the carriage, ordered George and Bush to act as coachmen, and drove towards the direction of Boulders.
On the way to the Rock City, Donald and his servant sat opposite each other in a carriage.
"Kod, you remember all the plans I mentioned before!"
Ke De looked both excited and a little strange, and answered:
"Yes, Master, Ke De remembered it word for word!"
Donald smiled when he heard this.
"Okay, let's plan to act when you get to the place later!"
Ke De glanced at his young master, but he was a little reluctant to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Donald, who was standing beside him, had already closed his eyes and studied his newly acquired mage ability.
Half an hour passed, and this kind of private carriage was much faster than the carriage Donald rode on last time, and soon they arrived in the Rock City.
After a while, an inconspicuous black carriage was parked at the largest and only auction house in the Rock City, in front of the Kingsol Auction House.
Compared with the gorgeously decorated and magnificent storefront of the auction house, the black carriage is so small and low-key. Even the carriages parked at the entrance of the auction house are all expensive in decoration. Those with a slightly inferior level dare not stop in front of the door, and can only squeeze into the alley in the distance.
He ordered Clinton and George outside to lift the long gray cloth bag out of the carriage. Before he got off the car, Donald heard the shout outside:
"What are you doing? This is Kingsol Auction House, not where you guys from the countryside come from! You have to buy farm goods to go to the market in the civilian area! There will be a noble carriage to listen to here later. Go and go, don't be upset here!"
It turned out that the servants from two auction houses saw Bush, who was not wearing armor, parked an ordinary carriage in a conspicuous empty space in front of the door. Another coachman turned around and wanted to take out something, and couldn't help but scold them.
You should know that they were looking forward to leading the parking lot for the big man and getting a considerable reward!
And this rustic carriage actually occupied the only empty space in front of the door. Isn’t this cut off their financial path?
So, relying on his identity as an employee of the auction house, he scolded the coachman who seemed to have no background. Anyway, such a carriage is mostly used by small rural vendors, and he is not afraid of offending anyone he should not offend.
The butler Ke De, who was about to go out in the carriage, was furious when he heard these scoldings. If he had been in the past, he might have endured it and passed by after being insulted by such an insult, but the other party also scolded his young master. This is something that the loyal Ke De could not forgive.
After crossing the carrying baggage, George and the other three, Cod rushed out of the carriage with anger, pointed at the two servants and began to scold them.
When the two servants saw a middle-aged man in charge of the carriage, they felt guilty. They were just the lowest servants in the auction house, responsible for carrying goods and parking the carriage for customers. Not to mention their status, they were not as good as the guards in the journey, but even the waiters and maids who served the adults spoke higher than theirs.
The reason why they were able to stand in front of the door and lead the parking position for the guests was the fatalities they had obtained after spending two months of wages to bribe the superiors' manager.
However, the more humble a person is, the stronger his self-esteem is. Facing the big people with higher status than them, they humbly hide their self-esteem, and when faced with existences with similar or worse status, they will become more and more derogatory to each other and show their own height.
So despite his guilt, seeing that Kod might be the manager of a small shop, although it is higher than theirs, what is this place? This is Kingsol Auction House, one of the largest commercial forces in the Rock City! With such a huge figure behind them, they have a support, and sarcastically sarcastically at Kod.
Kod was extremely angry. After the decline of the Meliner family, he had suffered a lot of hardships, but he had never let the young master suffer such insults.
But Kod, who was in the role of a noble butler, could not speak back and scold the two slave-like servants. He could only be so angry that he couldn't speak.
When the two servants saw that the other party did not speak, they thought they were powerless to refute and laughed loudly even more.
At this time, a manager who had just personally sent two guests to the auction house to hear the sound and hurried back to the door.
Seeing the scene here, the middle-aged manager who looked like a scholar frowned at the time.
Compared to the superficiality of the two servants, as the managers responsible for receiving VIPs, they naturally would not judge people by their appearance. You should know that many powerful professionals have quirks, and even those who come to the door dressed as beggars have appeared. He had heard of the miserable story of the manager of a large shop in Wangdu who insulted a nobleman who was dressed in a simple manner and went privately, and eventually became the most humble slave.
This story has attracted many business managers to take it as a warning, and as one of the largest auction houses in Giant Rock City, he is naturally no exception.
However, the two servants laughed at were not like big names. At most, they were small businessmen who were very interested in the salons held by the auction house recently. How could small businessmen attend such parties? After a few words, they would not affect the auction house's business.
So the manager decided on the way to deal with it.
"Why are you two making loud noises here? Don't you want to do it anymore?"
Seeing that the manager came, Ke De was happy and wanted to complain about the rudeness of the two servants. But before he could speak, he heard the manager say:
"Recently, many big names have come to our auction house, so we don't do small business, so you can just ask this customer back!"
He swallowed Kod there with one sentence, his face flushed and speechless.
At this time, Donald in the carriage walked out and stopped Clinton and the other two from being prepared to teach each other a lesson. If they took action, they would be able to easily beat the other party to death, but in that case, things would be difficult to deal with.
Donald did not take the ridicule of the two servants just now. With his identity as a mage apprentice and a secret killer weapon like the Book of Truth, he will sooner or later become a great figure admired by thousands of people in the future. What's more, he is still a quasi-noble person now. Although he is in a down-and-out position, he is not comparable to the two servants. Why bother to be angry with them? It's impossible to do anything!
However, he did not expect that in just a few words, the situation would develop to this extent. If he did not take any action, not only would their purpose be unable to achieve this trip, but his housekeeper would be in vain.
This is something that Donald, who regards Cod as his relative, cannot forgive. Today, he must bully others with his power!
"Why, is the power of the Lord's business so great that it is comparable to that of the Celtic royal family? A small servant can also insult the noble heirs and his servants. If this is true, then I will have to go to the noble parliament and the royal court to seek a just judgment!"
A tepid word was spoken by Donald, but the two servants who were still arrogant just now were silent and made the later manager's face change drastically.
When the young man walked out of the carriage, the manager felt a sudden slap in his heart and thought to himself that something was wrong.
Although the handsome young man in front of him was not gorgeously dressed, he was wearing formal and legal aristocratic men's dress. He was undoubtedly a real aristocratic or aristocratic heir. Even a small aristocrat was still a top-notch person, and it was not something that a civilian like them could provoke.
If you insult the nobles as a civilian, you have to be whipped. Your body can't stand the twenty whips!
Moreover, although I did not participate and could push all my sins to two ignorant servants, if the rumors were heard, it would definitely affect the reputation of the auction house, and my job would be difficult to guarantee.
The boss would not offend the nobles for a small manager, even the down-and-out nobles who were not rich or powerful. Look at the three coachmen just now, Kong Wu's powerful servants, who don't look like ordinary coachmen. If you have such servants, the nobles' ability is probably quite good.
Fortunately, there were no people around, and this situation was not seen by outsiders. As long as you win over the noble boy and his servants, things would be much easier. At worst, let them participate in the aristocratic salon held this time. Anyway, if you arrange a seat in a side hall, no one will find it.
So the manager immediately changed his smile and bowed repeatedly and said:
"Really sorry! These two men were so confused that they dared to insult this adult. As the manager of Kingsol Auction House, I must deal with them with the most severe punishment!"
"Dear guest, please follow me to the guest room for a while. There will be a salon in this auction house later to see if the adults are interested!"
After saying that, he bowed and led Donald into the door.
Donald nodded without being happy or angry.
Seeing his young master's simple words change his attitude towards the management of the largest auction house in Giant Rock City like this. While Ke De was relieved, he also couldn't see his young master clearly. He couldn't figure it out, so he could only push these to the reason why the young master had become a great wizard.
As for the Clintons and the other two, they didn't think too much. In their consciousness, everything the master did was reasonable.
Little did they know that although they were just an otaku in their previous life, Donald, who had enough confidence, could show no flaws when pretending to behave in front of outsiders. Of course, this is also because of his own strength, so he did not show his timidity, otherwise it would be easy to be seen through by knowledgeable people like Barrow.
With the butler and Clinton, George, the remaining two men carried the long gray cloth bag, and Donald walked into the auction house calmly with the manager.
In a separate reception room, Barrow ordered the waiter to offer exquisite refreshments to Donald, and then ordered the two auction house guards to take down the two stupid servants and ask Donald for his disposal.
Donald was mentally conscious of such trivial matters, and waved his hand to let Kod decide for himself. As a result, the kind and soft-hearted Kod did not punish them severely. He let the two villains go and fired them simply. Otherwise, at least he would have to suffer a lot of flesh and blood. Even if he was beaten to death, he would die in vain. No one would stand up for the two poor servants who collided with the nobles.
The unhappiness just now was solved. Donald gracefully drank a sip of milk tea, then smiled at the manager Barrow and said, "I have a business and want to do it with your auction house. I wonder if Manager Barrow has done it?"
Barrow looked at the calm-looking boy with a surprise surprise. At this age, he was so steady in his work and must have an extraordinary background. Is his previous guess wrong?
He immediately replied: "Barrow can make the decision for ordinary business. Depending on what he meant, is there any goods to be awarded to me by Kingsol Auction? If so, Barrow can make the decision to give you a discounted price!"
"Haha! Thank you for your kindness in Manager Barrow, but this thing is different, and I am not selling it directly, but preparing to participate in the auction. You should check it out yourself before making a decision!"
Donald signaled to Kod, and Kod immediately took a step forward and said as the young master gave him before:
"Because our young master has recently become a mage apprentice and needs a lot of elemental crystals to practice, he has to endure the pain and decide to sell his ancestral treasures and find a way to redeem them after becoming a formal mage in the future!"
After saying that, he pulled the gray cloth in his hand and placed it on the table. The items that had been wrapped around finally revealed their true colors.
I saw this an ordinary long sword with a slender sword of almost twice the length, quietly placed on the table. The exquisite handguards have a deep sword body with a faint inscription, and the sharp and sharp sword edge.
First, I heard of the wizard identity of the young man in front of me, and was extremely grateful that I handled it properly and did not offend the nobles among the nobles. Then, when I saw this beautiful sword that was not like a weapon, the shock in my heart was even more conceivable.
Barrow had already stuttered and said:
"This, this is the Knight's Great Sword?"
"That's right! I wonder if your store can look at my ancestral treasure!"
Barrow, who heard the sound, came back to his senses and said respectfully to Donald:
"The treasure of Lord is not something that Barrow can do. However, during this period, my Kingsol Auction House invited all the nobles in the area of the Rock City to participate in the annual half-month auction salon, providing some rare art and magic items for the nobles to take pictures. At this time, most of the famous nobles were temporarily staying in the city. If Lord can persuade us to be in charge, it would not be difficult to auction this treasure tonight!"
"Oh? That's a coincidence. So, please inform your bank manager! I must participate in the auction of this treasure!"
Barrow bowed and left the reception room after hearing this.
Looking at Donald, who was alive, Kod couldn't help but ask with some concern:
"Young Master, do you think that the great manager can accept our knight sword for auction? And I heard that the power behind this auction house is quite powerful. Do you think they will have any bad intentions?"
Donald comforted his housekeeper and said:
"Don't worry! Uncle Kod. I am still very confident in my ability. Generally, the managers of auction houses are very good at seeing the value of this treasure! If it really doesn't work, we will go to other cities. Can they still force themselves to grab it?"
To be continued...
