A beautifully bound atlas is being turned page by page with the flipping of Sean's fingers.

In terms of size, it is about the same size as the Earth's A4 paper, and its thickness is about the same, but it is harder than the A4 paper.

However, when the entire album is bound together, the thickness is still somewhat staggering, at least ten centimeters thick. So if you just hold it in your hand, you can still feel some weight, and Cecilia can't help but think of the relic her mother left her when she looks at the thick atlas.

Cecilia's magical guide is her mother.

According to Sean's understanding of magicians, Cecilia's mother should be a mage of the Magic Tower school.

This type of mage usually imparts and cultivates magical knowledge in the form of apprentices, and belongs to a school that attaches great importance to practical education. Of course, there are also shortcomings, that is, the progress in the cultivation of magicians is very slow, and it is generally difficult to cultivate a real magician without more than ten years of effort. Moreover, whether an apprentice can become a true magician is a guide's evaluation, not his own ability.

In other words, if the magician who is the guide does not recognize the strength of the apprentice for a day, then the apprentice will not be officially recognized by the magician for a day.

Although Cecilia later left her mother due to national problems and became an academic mage, when she went to the academy, her mother still gave Cecilia her magic book that had been passed down from generation to generation. This is also an important reason why Cecilia later left the academy and lost her mother's teachings, but her magical knowledge still did not fall behind.

Until today, though. The magic tome was a mere memento for Cecilia.

Now he was lying quietly in Sean's space storage ring.

"Someday, you'll go back with dignity." Sean put down the album. Then he reached out and rubbed Cecilia's hair, softly reassuring.

"Yes."

Cecilia nodded, but her interest was indeed a little low, and Sean was quite helpless about this. Fortunately, Cecilia didn't need Sean to worry about anything, and she quickly got rid of this psychological shadow, and instead smiled at Sean and asked him what he was seeing in this atlas.

"Huh this?" Sean picked up the book again, both on the cover and on the pages. Then he said, "Asuna gave it to me, the auction catalogue over there." As he spoke. Sean also flipped a few more pages to the back, "This is a record of what will be auctioned at the last two auctions tonight and tomorrow night, and the reserve price and the price of each increase are written, as well as a brief introduction and origin of the items, etc." It can be said that it is very thorough. ”

Hear Sean say that. Cecilia flipped the page.

I saw that this page was painted with a white egg.

But judging from the text introduction next to it, it is obvious that this is not an egg, but an egg laid by a two-headed demon eagle, and there are about three to five days before the day of breaking the shell. Then some other text content is to introduce the information related to the two-headed demon eagle, which will naturally become the information of other bidders, after all, no one will want to take a picture of a magical beast with no ability and characteristics.

Even if it's an ornamental monster, it has to look worthy of the audience.

But Sean is knowledgeable. Nine times out of ten, what is written above is just the content of the script, and it does not really say the relevant abilities and other characteristics of the two-headed demon eagle. Although the two-headed demon eagle is indeed a sixth-level demonic beast with the strength equivalent to the lower gold, it is true. But in fact, this refers to the two-headed demon eagle in adulthood, and a large part of this is related to the living habits and environment of the two-headed demon eagle.

And the domesticated two-headed demon eagle can not say that it can survive the initial juvenile period, even if it can, the next ten years of growth is not affordable for ordinary people, especially the food of the two-headed demon eagle is almost increasing year by year. In addition, if you don't focus on cultivating the combat ability of the Two-Headed Demon Eagle, this will also lead to the degradation of the Two-Headed Eagle's combat instinct, or even the loss of blood, so it is very likely that after ten years of hard work, it will only raise a second- or third-level strength Demonic Beast.

However, these key information are not mentioned at all, but the reserve price of 100,000 Pan-Continent gold coins is used as the starting price.

Compared to last night's auction, tonight's auction involves something that is obviously better and more upscale than last night's. Of course, this also determines that the starting price will definitely not be as low as last night, basically everything has no starting price lower than 50,000, unlike last night, there was a starting price of 20,000 or 30,000, so of course, it is destined that from tonight, the auction will inevitably blow a bloody storm.

But looking through the entire auction, Sean wasn't very interested in the next two days, because there was basically nothing he needed.

The items auctioned at the auction held this time are very targeted, and they are basically aimed at the big nobles in the country, and can be divided into three categories.

The first category is the category of weapons and equipment, in addition to the auction of a medium-effect silver equipment on the third day and the bronze demonization short knife that has been auctioned off on the first day, there are also three medium-effect bronze demonization equipment auctions tonight. In addition, there are some high-quality and sophisticated mass-produced equipment participating in the auction, all of which are auctioned in units of 100 sets in two days.

The second category is the auction of potions, materials, and curiosities, which includes a variety of rare alchemy potions, as well as materials such as ink crystal fluorite that can be used for forging or other materials that can be used in various life occupations, as well as curiosities such as the double-headed demon eagle egg. However, the first two are quite many, and in terms of curiosities, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance has only prepared three kinds this time: except for the two-headed demon eagle, the other two are ornamental demon beasts, but the starting price is more expensive than the double-headed demon eagle egg.

As for the third category. It is a strange thing that is not classified.

Basically, things like treasure maps or blueprints for some Steam technology, or something like that, or something special that no one can tell the difference, fall into this category. It's just that Sean has flipped through the entire catalogue. But he still couldn't find anything that interested him.

Of course, it's not nothing, in fact, there is still a little.

That was the grand finale of the third auction.

As you can see from the catalogue of this album, there will be a short break after the auction on the third night, after which the final mystery auction will be held. There are two items in this mysterious auction, but what exactly they are is not specified in detail, and Sean determined after looking at the entire catalogue. The broken branch of the Tree of Life that Saloki wants is one of the lots in this mysterious auction.

It is precisely because of this that another auction item that can appear with the broken branches of the Tree of Life naturally attracts Sean's attention.

"That old man has been waiting for you in the parlor for an hour," he said, as Sean closed the catalogue. Then after getting up and making herself another cup of milk tea, Cecilia finally couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going down yet?" ”

"Hang him for a while." Sean said indifferently, "I'm going to let him know." I'm angry right now. ”

I thought about it. Sean added: "Anger after being deceived. ”

"But don't you have nothing to lose?" Cecilia was a little puzzled, "I can understand your feelings about wanting to blackmail the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, but if you make the other party wait too long and they become angry, then won't all this be a loss for us?" ”

"They won't be angry." Sean smiled, and then began to practice his sword again.

During the recent period of coming to the royal capital, basically as long as he is free, Sean will continue to practice swords, and he wants to strengthen his attribute value through this training method. After all, from now on, proficiency points are becoming more and more valuable to him, so he can't rely on the input of proficiency points to strengthen himself. And through the training since the recent period. Sean finally confirmed the possibility of this kind of training, but it would take a little longer.

During this time, Sean has maintained close to four hours of training time every day, but so far, his strength and endurance have increased a little each, and the other three attribute values have not improved in any way. But in terms of the control of the fighting spirit, there is a relatively obvious progress, that is, Sean can now control the coverage and flow of his own fighting qi very well, and he believes that as long as he works hard for a while, he should be able to master the death of the snow wind; On the contrary, the Dance of the Wind has fallen into a bottleneck, which makes Sean can't help but start to think again about whether his training direction will be wrong.

After another hour of training while summarizing his mistakes and experiences, Sean finally went downstairs to the reception room to meet the envoy of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance to the Kingdom of Lane.

Lodeske.

The old man had been waiting in the reception room for two hours, but when Sean saw him, there was no dissatisfaction on the old man's face, but as if he had just arrived here and was warmly welcomed by Sean, he was extremely enthusiastic.

This made Sean secretly curse the old fox in his heart, but he still pretended to greet Lodeske with the same enthusiasm on his face: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Lodeske, I just gained some insights in training, and when I came back to my senses, I realized that you have been waiting for me here for so long, I'm really sorry." ”

"No, no, no, Lord Sean, you are too serious to say this, I should be embarrassed to disturb it." Lodeske hugged Sean with a smile on his face, not caring at all about Sean, who was covered in sweat at the moment, "If it affects your daily training, Lord Sean, then I am really guilty." ”

At this, the two foxes laughed at each other again.

Minutes of unnourished flattering words followed, and both seemed to have completely forgotten about yesterday morning's negotiations and last night's unpleasantness. Of course, it wasn't unpleasant for Sean, and he was at most a pity that he couldn't pick a bargain; But for Lodeske, that's the real unpleasantness.

And this unhappiness is not just because of Sean's cruel words last night, and today he has to accept Sean's extortion.

After several minutes of complimenting each other, Sean still didn't mean to cut to the point.

It's just that Sean is not in a hurry, but Lodeske is starting to be a little anxious.

He had already discovered from yesterday morning's negotiations that Sean was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and that his unorthodox play had already made many of his opponents feel tricky and anxious. So when it was determined that Sean was obviously not going to take the initiative to talk about the subject and let himself get into the disadvantage of the negotiation rhythm, Lodesk finally had to put his attitude and position on the side of the weaker himself.

"Lord Sean, this is a golden ticket of one million Pan-Continent gold coins, which you can exchange at any chamber of commerce that belongs to the alliance of chambers of commerce."

As soon as Lodeske spoke, he directly took out a golden paper bill from his pocket, and then pushed it in front of Sean: "Regarding last night's incident, it is indeed the negligence of our Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and the relevant personnel have also been punished." …… This million is the compensation made by our Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and we hope to be able to satisfy you. ”

Looking at the golden bill, Sean's right hand tapped lightly on the table.

Then, he raised his head slightly, looked at Lodeske, who was still sweating slightly on his forehead, although he tried his best to keep calm, and chuckled: "What if, I'm not satisfied?" (To be continued......)
