Krell? Mr. Belmont was a man of great ideals, a man detached from low tastes, and at the same time a man who could easily arouse the affection of others, who was erudite but not proud, intelligent but not arrogant, enthusiastic but not ignorant.

To put it bluntly, science and engineering technology control this kind of creature, as long as it is not a crazy scientist specially designed for superhero movies, most of the temperament is actually relatively sunny, coupled with the silly and sweet character of the other party, plus the imagination born from rational thinking and knowledge accumulation, it can actually be regarded as a rather pleasant chat object. He has a big brain, and often has some whimsical ideas, most of which are really ridiculous at first glance, lack of possibility of realization and lack of practicality, but there are indeed some ideas that do grasp the "pulse of the times", and even have a certain inspiration for Lu Xi, a self-proclaimed "civilized person" from a developed society.

If only based on these two hours of chatting, Lu Xi really thinks that this Krel? Mr. Belmont will be a mechanical nerd with considerable attainments in mechanical engineering and a very rich imagination.

Of course, being a mechanical nerd isn't a bad thing. Lu Xi can foresee that as the conductive technology becomes a prominent study and the conductive technology begins to be promoted, the conductive technicians, mechanics, engineers, etc., who are regarded as "cheap jobs" such as blacksmiths and laborers, will become occupations with extremely high social status. In the coming era of guidance, this kind of person who has a certain mechanical knowledge and skills can be said to have won at the starting line, and will definitely mix quite well in the future.

Yes, as long as you enter the industrial society, whether it is the leading industry or the home industry that uses coal and oil, no matter what kind of government and what kind of doctrine is on the stage, whether the rulers are capitalists with no lower limit or the old aristocracy engaged in restoration, or even the fundamentalist ******** go backwards. They will never offend pure science and engineering researchers and mechanical engineers...... It can be said that Mr. Belmont's hobby will lead to a rather good future for him in the near future.

If it weren't for the intuition of being a master who felt the faint power of this pair of men and women, and probed the roots of each other with kryptonite dog eyes, Lu Xi might have believed it.

A Golden Rank 7 Dragon Knight, and a Golden Tier 10 Adult Black Dragon!

A mechanical house is not a big deal, but a mechanical house that is also a dragon knight. That's a lot of fun. Lu Xi really wanted to probe the other party's heels by the way, but unfortunately no matter how interesting the conversation was, it couldn't go on forever, and when it was almost dinner time, the other party reluctantly got up to say goodbye. Since neither side has a proposal to have dinner together, it means that there are arrangements, everyone is a smart person, although they have not known each other for a long time, this tacit understanding is still there.

"It's a very interesting gentleman, but it's worth making friends." Wind Channel.

"I hope I can really be friends. This guy is indeed a second man. It would be too bad to become an enemy. Lu Xi pondered for a moment: "You say, this Mr. Dragon Knight, is he coming for me, or is it from Uncle Shi's old man's house?" ”

"Can't you really be a tourist? Even the dragon knight is a mortal in the flesh, with family, friends, private life, and of course, there are also rotations and holidays! Hurry Wind smiled and asked: "If he has ulterior motives and doesn't show the slightest flaw in the face of us for so long, then he must be a top master of disguise and acting skills." The members of the Dragon Knights are all of extraordinary strength. But I haven't heard of anything they have to do with the Faceless. ”

Heh, what if it's such a natural star acting master of this protagonist? The odds are small. But it's not like nothing, right?

"Forget it, whether it's friend or foe, we will always meet." Lu Xi decided to treat this "chance encounter" as a side episode, and left it alone for the time being: "What are we going to eat tonight?" ”

"At this time, I might only be able to eat fast food. You'll have to go buy two clothes with me. ”

"Clothes...... What the heck? ”

"Buy two evening dresses! The one I wore yesterday was torn by you, and there is no spare ...... in the space bag." Hurricane couldn't help but blush, and said angrily, "Didn't Mr. Gray invite you to that auction?" After that, I was going to go to the Seven Seas Dragon Palace to smash the field...... It's the most exclusive social place in all of Neosfia, so you can't just dress like this, right? Yes, Lu Xi, you have to change your body too. ”

"Hmph. Labor and management even enter Yongchen Palace in casual clothes, no matter how high-end it is, can it be more high-end than the dignified Auckland Palace? ”

"yes, yes, don't be coquettish. What kind of clothes to wear on what kind of occasion, this is common sense, but also etiquette, too deliberate maverick will not make you really extraordinary, only ...... Well, according to Lu Xi, the second disease, right? Speaking of this, the wind was suddenly stunned, and he frowned like this, staring at Lu Xi's face and groaning.

"Anyway, your suspicious silence is really concerning."

"No, I'm just thinking again, wouldn't it look more maverick if I didn't give you a women's evening dress......"

This sudden brain hole may have awakened some strange attribute to the wind, and within the next hour, she used all means, including coercion and temptation to sell cuteness, to want Lu Xi to wear a women's evening dress for her to see.

"It's just that we can see for ourselves, and we won't lose a piece or two of meat. Well, Lu Xi hasn't worn women's clothes seriously yet, has he? Especially this kind of particularly gorgeous evening dress that can better set off people's appearance and temperament. Try it on, it will look like a painting. Don't worry, we'll just take it to ourselves, and we won't take it outside to the exhibition! ”

And then from now on you'll have one more handle to threaten me, won't you? Let your words fall wild, but only a fool will really fall for you. In addition, the protagonist who is actually willing to try anything has already worn women's clothing, but this kind of black history will definitely not let you know.

So, in order to take revenge for the brain hole that suddenly erupted from the wind, Lu Xi immediately picked out a dark red cardigan dress for the other party, which was completely a mature and sexy route. Wind's dressing style preferences are similar to Artoria's, they are all plain, and according to her previous style, this type of dress is still too shameful. Lu Xi originally thought that this would make the other party entangled for a long time. Unexpectedly, she changed her clothes very calmly, and the girlish style and mature charm were mixed together, forming a more textured charm, which instantly blinded Lu Xi's eyes.

"After all, this is the first dress you gave me, and I just want to change my style." Swift Wind smiled and said, "Be frank, enthusiastic and sincere about the gifts that boys give you, such girls are good children." Also......" she pointed to a purple backless dress in a display case: "This one is mysterious." It must be a good fit for Lu Xi. If you put it on, it will be a pair with my dark red one. ”

"So you're waiting for me here?" Lu Xi couldn't help but roll his eyes, and his eyes flickered to a store that had just opened around the corner: "Okay, then I'll go there and choose a few more gifts for you, you must accept them frankly." ”

Well, sure enough, although the wind and discipline who have done everything with Lu Xi have a tendency to thicken and lower recently, the shame is still not as good as Karin's, so Lu Xi is very happy to see the intoxicating red glow on the other party's face. In the end, it was replaced by an angry low snort.

By the way, that store that just opened is Aphrodite's sex brand store. Such a shop with a peach-colored glossy luster can be opened in a grand manner in the top commercial street of the entire capital of the seven seas, and I have to say that Asuna and her sisters are really goodjob. I also have to say that although the city is very open, I didn't expect it to be open to this point.

Of course, Lu Xi still bought the purple backless evening dress, of course, it was impossible not to wear it himself. but for the gale. In the future, there will be more and more people participating in such events, and one dress will definitely not be enough. Of course. In order not to favor one over the other and ensure the harmony inside the Crystal Palace, he also chose two pieces of high-end dresses of the same grade, even Nanoka and Fett. So, in just two hours, he spent tens of thousands of Bakers.

Although such a way of spending money is not good for the health of the wallet, it is actually quite pleasant.

Bags of clothes and gifts for the girls were sent back to the mall. Lu Xi and Hurricane found another place to have a simple dinner, and then got into Mr. White's carriage, which had been waiting for him at the entrance of the mall for a long time, and walked like the Sushide Auction House.

Yes, considering that the coachman uncle who helped his wife sell bento in his free time had a very good appetite for himself, Lu Xi got out of his carriage with half of the cart purse.

"Susted? It's really a place that only big people can go. "As soon as Mr. Coachman heard the destination. A subtle expression was revealed.

"Have you been in?".

"How is it possible, old man, all my net worth combined is not a fraction of any of your old things." The coachman's uncle hurriedly shook his hand: "It's just that every time Su Shide holds a big auction, the next day he will put the season's bidder on the front page of the newspaper." Tsk, that price...... I really don't understand, why do those big people spend money that I can't earn in my lifetime to buy something that I can't eat or drink? ”

"As you said, because you've eaten and drunk enough, you've had nothing to do."

"Hahaha...... I don't dare to say that. Wouldn't a smart, kind, and rich lady like you also want to participate? There must be some kind of fun that ordinary citizens like me can't understand! ”

“…… It's a good thing that you can't understand it! Many things, if you understand too much, in fact, you will lose a lot of the original taste and happiness of life. It's true. Lu Xi said quietly.

I don't know if this sentence touched Mr. White deeply. In short, this gentleman who has a lot of stories and sells bento boxes in his spare time has been driving the car to the door of the auction house and has not spoken again.

Although the most famous auction house in the world, the headquarters of Sushide is a very humble three-storey building. In fact, the famous trade fairs are held in a large theater-style building located at the western corner of Jewel Coast Street. The building, like the auction house's headquarters, remains understated, with only two floors tall and a large entrance. However, such an inconspicuous building, with the horse-drawn carriages parked on the side of the street and the well-dressed dignitaries who came in and out, naturally did not keep a low profile.

In fact, the main body of the auction hall is underground. It is a stepped theater-shaped hall that can accommodate thousands of people. Special architectural design and magic amplification equipment allow the people on the stage to easily transmit their voices to everyone in the hall, and the design of placing the building on the ground allows for the rapid return of these priceless lots to the impregnable vault on the 10th basement level through a special track designed by the dwarves in the event of an emergency.

Auction houses hold large-scale auctions every six months, in the alternating seasons of spring, summer and autumn and winter. Besides. In some special times, they also hold impromptu auctions based on current politics, popular culture, and major archaeological discoveries - for example, last month, a group of adventurers made big news when they were lucky enough to dig up a treasure that was said to be left behind by an ancient demon god. They sent a large number of antiques and treasures from the ancient era to Susted, and the auction house also held a large-scale auction of the main body of the "heritage of the gods" for these objects, attracting a large group of wealthy collectors from all over the world, and it is said that 50 million bakers were sold in just three nights.

The auction that Lu Xi and Hurricane participated in was a regular event at the turn of spring and summer every year, and if there was no invitation, or members of the auction house were not allowed to participate. And the membership requirements of Sushide Auction House are also quite demanding. First of all, you must have at least 10 million bakers, as well as proof of cash of more than 1 million bakers in a bank in Neosfia (this is a necessary condition), in addition, you must be innocent and have no criminal record (this can be considered), and at the same time, you must have at least 100,000 bakers in the auction house.

Yes, even anyone like Lu Xi, who has an important lot tonight, will theoretically not be able to enter without an invitation. The final result of the auction can only be waited on the sidelines. If the auction is successful, you have to pay 15% of the commission to the auction house, and if the auction fails, you have to pay a management fee and storage fee.

The combination of Lu Xi and Hurricane is really conspicuous. Not only did they come as a rental carriage, but they were also the face of all the guests tonight, and the security guards in the auction hall took half a minute to check whether their invitations were genuine, and finally invited them to enter with smiling faces.

The invitation is marked with a seat mark, and it is the first three rows of seats very close to the stage, so there is no need to think about occupying a seat.

When the two of them just took their seats. A well-trained waiter will bring two drinks and delicate snacks, as well as a conspicuous number plate. If you want to place a bid at auction, simply hold the numbered plate high and the people on the stage can easily see the numbers on it, even if they are sitting in the most remote parts of the hall.

"We have several lots to sell tonight. Two of them have even been used as finales in previous auctions. Hurricane whispered to Lu Xi: "If you can become the king of standards, you can make the headlines of tomorrow's newspapers, and you may become famous." ”

"It's the future chamber of commerce that is famous. I gave these lots to the auction house in the name of the Chamber of Commerce. What's more, you can get a large sum of cash. Lu Xi smiled: "No matter how big the business is, cash will never be too much." ”

"Are you afraid that people will come to you to pay in installments?" Storm covered his mouth and smiled, "I've heard that someone has only received half of the money for the heirloom that was auctioned ten years ago. ”

"Then I can only discuss with the senior management of the auction house in a cordial way." Lu Xi showed a brighter smile: "It's not good to treat a person who needs money everywhere in the same way as ordinary mercenary adventurers and ordinary people, they must be able to understand me!" ”

That's right, an auction house with deep pockets and a group of mercenary thugs can completely treat the low-level ordinary people and ordinary adventurers who have no foundation and no background in the way of "installment payment" for a few more years or more than ten years, but how dare they treat the same class as them, and even the food chain in the capital world is even higher than them in the same way. If these guys have a little bit of eyesight, they should run in front of themselves and take the initiative to ask for a commission to be reduced by seven or eighty percent, right?

It seems that the protagonist's deterrent power in Neosfia is not enough. Lu Xi thought. I hope that the blood of the Dalrest family can be a wake-up call for many people.

"yes, when I was selling here last month, they wanted to play that trick on me. So I had to tear down their boss's office. As a result, the gang not only reduced the commission rate of all lots to 5%, but also said that I would be their 5-star gold VIP member from now on. It's useless to deal with these guys, fists and money, as long as there is one, it's enough. If you have both, they'll kneel faster than you think. A clear, cute and beautiful little girl's voice sounded behind the two.

Lu Xi and Hurricane glanced at each other, then raised their heads and turned around, and what greeted them was a figure that had only met once, but was particularly familiar.

"Yo, long time no see, Miss Corel."

"Yo, long time no see, little friend Lu Xi, and Miss Wind. You must have been in Neosfia for a few days, right? It was so uninteresting that they didn't come to me for a drink in the first place! "The Holy Dragon Lori Bear Child, who has had a relationship in the dark region, is wearing a soft and fluffy Lori special version of the princess dress, and is sitting on the seat behind the two, with two smooth and white jade legs, revealing Yuxue's lovely smile.
