Views:

Early the next morning, Zhang Tie had just gotten up, washed up, and eaten the breakfast delivered to the room when he heard a knock on the door. 『』

The door opened, and standing outside was a young girl with blond hair and blue eyes in her twenties.

"Hello sir, I am a staff member of Sowers Auction House. These are the costumes and masks you need to wear to participate in the auction today. You can enter now. The auction will be held on time at eight o'clock in the morning. I hope you will You can enter the venue five to ten minutes in advance at the latest. After eight o'clock, the door to the underground passage into the venue will be closed!" The blond girl looked at Zhang Tie with a charming smile on her face, "Leave now. There are still forty minutes left in the auction. During this time, if you need it, I can always be here to accompany you. If you have any questions, you can come to me!"

"No, thank you!" Zhang Tie took the things on the tray from the woman's hand, and then closed the door of the room with his backhand. The moment Zhang Tie closed the door, a hint of disappointment flashed on the face of the girl outside. mood.

People from Jinpeng Bank told Zhang Tie that as long as he lived here, when the auction started, as the owner of the lot, people from Sowers Auction House would prepare things and invite him to the auction venue to let Zhang Tie Unexpectedly, this auction was held early in the morning.

Those who are qualified to participate in the Sowers Winter Auction were either rich or noble in the previous Andaman League. It is the same now. Zhang Tie was able to enter the venue this time because of the light of the rune ring. Many of these girls who work in auction houses and hotels are women like Mary. They are not bad people, but they just like to have wild dreams about rich and powerful men. Every day, they dream of flying up the branches and turning into phoenixes. At this moment, Zhang Iron, after what happened with Mary in Black Flame City. I'm used to seeing such a woman, and I don't have any trouble in my heart.

The tray sent by the girl contained a set of black cloaks and an exquisite mask made of brass. The mask covered the person's entire face. The eyes of the mask were made of two pieces of yellow glass. From the outside, even the color of the masked person's eyes could not be seen. Zhang Tie put on the mask and tried it on, and found that the two pieces of glass did not affect his vision.

There is a number in the middle of the forehead of the mask in beautiful cursive characters for identification. Zhang Tie's number is "e26". In this auction, all activities conducted by Zhang Tie were carried out with this empty character code. After the auction ended. Sowers Auction will send his money and items liquidated at the auction back to Jinpeng Bank, which can be regarded as a one-stop service.

Sauers' winter auction is a secret auction. All participants in the auction, whether sellers or buyers, cannot reveal their identities and must wear strict clothing before entering. Seems quite mysterious. This made Zhang Tie, who was participating in the auction for the first time, a little excited. In addition to the cloak and mask that the girl had just given him, on his first day here, at the suggestion of Jinpeng Bank, Zhang Tie prepared quite high-end clothes for himself in the hotel shopping mall. He no longer wore the same clothes he wore as a refugee to hide his identity.

Zhang Tie prepared this set of clothes for himself this time. It is the most expensive piece of clothing Zhang Tie has ever worn. The outfit Zhang Tie is wearing now consists of a complete set of seven or eight items including leather boots and socks from top to bottom. It cost him more than six gold coins. The fabric and workmanship were of top quality. Although it was not top-notch, at first glance, it at least looked like a rich man who was not short of money. And actually. Zhang Tie still owes Jinpeng Bank a hundred gold coins in service fees. Including the interest, it will be deducted from the auction proceeds of Zhang Tie's rune ring today. The auction commission of Sowers Auction House is 2%. As for whether Jinpeng Bank will further divide the profit from the auction commission of this ring. A little profit, that Zhang Tie doesn't know.

Zhang Tie, who put on the mask and the cloak that covered his hair in the room, looked at himself in the mirror. He could no longer recognize the Zhang Tie in the mirror.

According to actual calculations, the space intelligence will not be generated until after 11 o'clock in the morning. There are still more than three hours before now. Since the auction can already be entered, Zhang Tie did not delay and left the room after getting dressed. .

On the seventeenth floor of the entire hotel, besides Zhang Tie, there seemed to be other people attending the auction living there. As soon as Zhang Tie walked to the corridor outside, he was led directly by the auction house staff and got on the special lift. The elevator went down layer by layer. When the elevator reached the twelfth floor, the elevator stopped for a moment, and then two more people walked in from outside the elevator, wearing the same clothes as Zhang Tie, and they were also going to participate in the auction. Everyone, except for the girl operating the elevator who still kept a smile on her face, the other three people looked at each other and remained silent. The atmosphere was slightly weird.

"Ding!" The elevator stopped, and the door of the elevator opened. What appeared in front of Zhang Tie's eyes was a deep but luxurious underground passage. The passage was covered with a layer of red carpet, and lights were lit on both sides of the passage. Bright lights, two rows of beautiful reception ladies stood at the elevator door.

"You three, this is the underground facility of Sowers Auction House. The auction will be held in the underground auction here. I hope you can return with satisfaction!"

The three people walked out of the elevator, and immediately three greeting ladies came over and led the three people one-on-one to the entrance of the auction house. The entrance of the auction house felt like the lobby of a hotel, with bright lights and several steam vents. The fan was whirling faintly on the roof at the entrance to the auction house, bringing bursts of fresh air here, which was not oppressive at all. Two teams of armored warriors in gorgeous armor were guarding here, looking very majestic. Zhang Tie felt it carefully and found that the auras of the two teams of armored warriors seemed to be no lower than level six. This made Zhang Tie feel a bit nervous and he once again had a high opinion of the strength of the Sowers Merchant Group. Zhang Tie thought to himself that the business group that could be selected as a partner by Jinpeng Bank was indeed outstanding.

"Sir, do you need voice-changing pills?" The welcoming lady who brought Zhang Tie into the auction house asked Zhang Tie at the entrance, "After taking the voice-changing pills, your voice will be different within twelve hours." Unrecognizable!"

"Okay, give me one!"

You can collect the voice-changing pills at the entrance of the auction house. The two people who came down the elevator with Zhang Tie also received two voice-changing pills. Zhang Tie also asked for one. After pinching open the wax-sealed package, . Inside was a white pill the size of a bean. Zhang Tie saw that the other two people took the pill without hesitation. Moreover, this pill seemed to be available to all guests attending the auction, so Zhang Tie also took the pill. Eat it.

The pill melted in the mouth, with a slightly sour taste. After swallowing the liquid and the saliva, Zhang Tie felt his throat was slightly cold, and coughed twice unconsciously. At that moment, Zhang Tie found that his voice suddenly became much thicker.

The entire auction house. There is a main auction hall and several smaller auction halls. This morning's auction was held in the main auction hall. When arriving at the main auction hall, Zhang Tie received a lot manual for this auction.

There were already some scattered people in the main auction hall at this moment. Those people were sitting in their seats in the auction hall according to their serial numbers. Zhang Tie took a look and saw that the entire main auction hall was a bit like a small opera stage. All the seats are distributed in a fan shape around the auction table in the middle. The total number of seats is about three hundred. Just above these seats, there are more advanced and more hidden boxes. You can let some more special characters participate in the auction in the box.

Arriving at the seat marked e26 in row e among those seats, Zhang Tie sat down and then looked at the auction booklet in his hand carefully. There are many categories in the auction manual, and Zhang Tie quickly found the target that he was most interested in participating in the auction in the "Animals/Pets" category.

I didn't expect that little rune ring to be so valuable. Zhang Tie was secretly speechless.

Just when Zhang Tie was immersed in studying the auction manual and felt that his horizons were broadened, the time for the auction was approaching. More and more guests attending the auction began to enter and take their seats, and the entire venue began to slowly become lively. . All the guests were dressed in the same costume, so unless they came together, no one would know who was under the brass mask.

When there were almost five minutes before the end of the auction, there was a burst of excitement among all the guests who were sitting at the auction. Following this burst of excitement, Zhang Tie turned his head and looked at the entrance of the auction hall. At this look, Zhang Tie He was also slightly shocked.

An old man in his 50s with a golden scepter in his hand and a cold face, wearing a sun god robe that looked familiar to Zhang Tie, walked in towards the old man in a red pastoral robe. The pastoral robe this man wore was embroidered with three The pattern of a moon made everyone immediately understand his identity, the red-robed March Shepherd of the Sun God Dynasty. This man was not wearing a mask or a cloak, as were the two officers from the Sun God Dynasty who were following him and looked very powerful. The three people who walked into the auction venue glanced at the crowd indifferently, and then Turned around and went to the box at the venue.

Because of this experience, everyone was not too surprised when a Norman Empire general with two majestic mustaches and two imperial officers also came to the venue two minutes later. Of course, This so-called everyone definitely does not include Zhang Tie.

Because Zhang Tie saw Reinhard following the general, Zhang Tie, who was wearing a mask, opened his mouth, but finally made no sound.

The general of the Norman Empire, Reinhardt and another officer also went to the private room upstairs.

The auction starts soon...
