After a long while, Angel basically learned some information about Wheaton from Anada.
At first, Angel thought that Whipidon was not treated well at home, just like most noble families have some pickled things, Whipidon may be a gas bucket in the duke's family, so he escaped from the duke's mansion, and finally became a thief Do low-level things.
However, he was wrong. The Wybiton family in Anada's mouth were harmonious and friendly, and they were definitely a clear stream among the nobles. Although Whipidon is not an only son, but his own brother's relationship with him has not reached the goal, Whippet is still very favored.
Only one thing, what Ananda said was vague. Since the age of 7, the Duke of Tepichu forcibly ordered Wybiton not to go out, which seems to be a very **** ban, but Tebcichu has never forbade other people to visit Wybiton, which is a bit strange.
Whibiton is not allowed to go out, but he agrees that outsiders see Whebiton. It's really weird to give Wybiton a way to peep into the outside world without giving Wybiton a chance to contact the outside world.
"Although Wybiton was banned for ten years, we also guessed that there was an inside story. But every time I went to see Wybiton, there was nothing else, and the Duke of Tepicchu was also very kind to me. Except that I was not allowed to bring blessings. When Beaton goes out, the Duke will satisfy all other requirements, which is much better than my father." Anadar paused, still worried:
"Because of this, although Wybiton is now almost eighteen years old, he has not been in contact with the outside world for a long time. In some aspects of mind and knowledge, he is similar to a seven- or eight-year-old child. So, my lord, please forgive him!"
After listening to Anada's remarks, Angel didn't say "forgive or not", but became a little curious about this weird family structure.
Suddenly, David pointed to the wall clock on the wall and reminded: "Angel, it's half an hour until eight o'clock, and the auction is about to start."
Seeing this, Angel said to Anada, "You can take care of Whipton for a while. As for other issues, we'll talk about it when we get back."
After that, he left the courtyard with Prome and David.
On the way from here to the auction house, David asked in confusion, "If you leave them at home, will the stinky boy escape?"
Angel: "If you run away, run away. It's a trivial matter. There's no need to take it to heart."
"If I had known this, I should have beaten him first. If he ran away, where would I beat him!" David still remembered the purse being stolen.
"It's also strange. Why do people in this Night Magic City like to steal money bags? That Anada, who can meet the Duke's Mansion, should also be a family with similar backgrounds. Garr shook his head in laughter.
How strong the attraction of the twilight big shot is, you can see from the mortals coming and going on the street.
Not only was the ground overcrowded, but there were also wizards rushing to the auction in the air.
Everyone walked in one direction. Such a grand occasion gave Angel the feeling of a soldier who was about to set foot on the battlefield. Every step seems to be paving the way for an epic story to come.
Not long after walking, they finally reached their destination - the Twilight Auction.
It is a square iron tower with a sense of metal ruins. There are several long sky stairs in the surrounding buildings that extend to the top of the iron square tower. Add a sense of emptiness.
The square iron tower is tall and very wide, with chimneys on each floor, emitting smoke to the outside.
Its shell is unmodified, the iron is mottled, with brick-red rust marks, and occasionally there are holes, and traces of repairing with other colors of iron can be seen.
Each side of the iron tower is dozens of meters wide, and each side has a gate. So although there are many people, it is not crowded.
It's just... Angel suddenly remembered something: "Master Prome, doesn't this twilight auction need an invitation letter?"
When Angel was very young, he accompanied Pat to Watford to attend an auction. He seemed to need an invitation letter before entering, but this was his very early memory. Angel never thought of it until he saw the auction. It was only when he was on the field that he vaguely remembered this stubble.
Prome smiled: "You never asked, I thought David told you."
"Twilight auction, let's not mention the usual rules for the time being. In the two big auctions every year, there are outfields and infields. The outfield is located in the lobby on the first floor, and you can see the infield through the central screen. Anyone can enter and bid in the public bidding area, but each person can only bid 3 times, and each bid requires a handling fee of 5 magic crystals.”
"The infield can bid at any time, and there is no limit to the number of times."
This kind of auction model is quite novel. The number of bids in the outfield is limited, so each bid needs to be very high, so high that people in the infield dare not follow the auction, otherwise it will be difficult to win the favorite lot. Although there are restrictions on outside auctions, at the same time, outside auctions can avoid the risk of being directly threatened by wizards, which is also a check and balance.
"Does the infield need an invitation letter?" Angel asked.
"The invitation letter is used for private communication meetings. There are so many people in the big auction, how can it be possible for everyone to have an invitation letter." Promi said, "There are actually two qualifications for entering the infield. One is the twilight auction. VIP, and the second is to spend money to buy tickets.”
"So are we going to buy tickets now? How much is the ticket price?" Angel frowned. He didn't shoot much cherished materials, so he shouldn't compete with wizards. Therefore, it must be more cost-effective in the infield, and he still has to pay for magic crystals for each auction in the outfield.
Promi smiled and shook his head, looking very fanciful.
When David saw this, he immediately stepped forward and patted the horse: "Angol, don't worry! We don't need to buy tickets at all, Master Prome is the silver VIP of the Twilight Auction!"
"Silver VIP?" Angel recalled Greya's Barbie restaurant, which was also graded in the same way. Are restaurants and pubs accustomed to using gold, silver and copper to classify their grades
"The so-called silver card VIPs can not only bring 5 people into the infield, but also have an exclusive silver card VIP area, so no matter when you go, you don't have to worry about running out of seats! It's not an easy thing to get silver card VIPs. At least 5ooo magic crystals must be consumed at one time. The Twilight Auction will also evaluate your personal ability. After the review team has reviewed you, you will be awarded a card! Generally speaking, wizard apprentices can obtain silver cards. I estimate that at present Only Master Prome."
David's sense of interest made Prome smile even happier. At such a time, if he himself explained how precious he had a VIP silver card, it would drop the price! Therefore, with a little brother who is sensible and understandable, it is possible to pretend to be more light-hearted and calm.
"Oh, so it is." Angel's face was shocked, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.
At this time, it was less than 20 minutes before the official start of the auction, and the hall was basically overcrowded. Promi looked at the crowded people in the hall, took a high pace, and walked in with Angel and David. Infield channel.
Angel thought that the silver card VIP area was probably a private room. But in fact, the silver card VIP area is actually the second floor of the infield, you can see the situation of the auction platform from a commanding height, and the seats are scattered, so it is not too crowded.
After the three were seated, Angel unbuttoned his coat to clear Toby's sight.
Until then, Angel had no time to look at the infield of the entire auction.
The infield was not as big as Angel had imagined, and there were not as many people sitting in the infield as he imagined. The venue was probably a little smaller than an ordinary concert hall, and there were only a few hundred people sitting on the first floor.
However, Angel noticed that, although most of these hundreds of people were apprentices of wizards, there were also more than a dozen formal wizards with extremely powerful hidden powers, similar to Flora's level.
In addition to the ordinary seats on the first floor and the silver card VIP area on the second floor, there is also a gold card VIP private room on the third floor. The private room is completely closed, and Angel cannot observe it, but it is estimated that the gold card VIPs should be of the official wizard level. .
Angel's curious look also attracted the attention of many people, including wizards. However, when he saw that Angel was just a young boy, he withdrew his gaze.
At this time, Prome began to introduce the twilight auction to Angel: "The usual twilight auction has sub-halls, materials, potions, weapons, etc... There are partitions, and you can go to the corresponding area according to your choice. But only the annual big auction is a comprehensive auction, regardless of the venue."
Promi also talked about his experience of becoming a silver card VIP. After about five minutes, with a wonderful horn sound, all the lights in the infield dimmed.
"It's started. If you want to bid later, you can use magic power to input it into the communicator beside the seat." Because the lights on the field were dimmed, Prome's voice was also a little hoarse.
"I am addicted to the tempering of the years, pursuing the eternal and immortal truth. But the road is long and the hardships are long. Looking at the sky from the mouth of the well, there is no dust, only the twilight glow will accompany my heart." The middle-aged woman in Dot Dian slowly emerged from the illusion.
"Good night, everyone, I'm the auctioneer of the Twilight Auction. I've forgotten my name. You can call me 'Twilight'." When the middle-aged woman spoke, the fluorescent light surrounding her slowly dissipated. Showing her true face, a bland face.
"Not much to say, after review, there are a total of 173 lots available for admission today, and many of them are mysterious. Now, let's enter the auction time." Although Twilight's voice was not cadence, but simple and straightforward, it still remained the same. Possesses a strange power that can move people's emotions.
"The first item to be auctioned is a set of Yingrong Potion from Dongxue Pharmacy. There are 19 bottles in total. The auction starts at zero price, and the price increase shall not be less than 30 magic crystals each time."
