vs 262 Twilight beat
Half an hour later, Angel basically learned some information about Whipton from Anada. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At first, Ingres thought that Hubyton was not treated well at home, just like most aristocratic families had some pickled things, and Hubigon might be a gas barrel for the Duke's family, so he would flee from the Duke's Palace, and finally became a thief and did third-rate things.
However, he was wrong, the Hubidon family in Anada's mouth was harmonious and friendly, and it was definitely a clear stream among the nobles. Although Whipbiton is not an only child, his own brother's relationship with him has not reached the opposite end, and Whipbit is still very favored.
Only one point, Anada's words are vague. Since the age of seven, the Duke of Tebichu has forcibly forbidden Hibiton from leaving the house, which seems to be a very authoritarian ban, but Tebichu has never forbade anyone else to visit Hibichu, which is a bit strange.
Hubidon was not allowed to go out, but he agreed that outsiders would see Hubidon, and if he wanted to be autocratic, he would be autocratic to the end, how could he only be half authoritarian? It was indeed strange to give Hubidon a channel to peek into the outside world, but not to give Hubidon the opportunity to contact the outside world.
"Although Whitton was grounded for 10 years, we also speculate that there is an inside story. But every time I went to see Whitton, I found nothing else, and the Duke of Tebichu was very kind to me. Except that I was not allowed to take Whitton out, the Duke would have fulfilled all other requests, which was much better than my father's. Anada paused, still worried:
Because of this, although Whitton is now almost eighteen years old, he has not been in contact with the outside world for a long time, and in some aspects of mind and knowledge, he is similar to that of a seven- or eight-year-old child. In fact, he is not only a child on the inside, so please forgive him!"
After listening to Anada's story, Ingres did not say the question of "forgive or not", but became a little curious about this strange family structure.
Suddenly, David pointed to the clock on the wall and reminded, "Angels, it's half an hour until eight o'clock, and the auction is about to begin." ”
Seeing this, Angel said to Anada, "You take care of Huibiton for the time being, and as for other issues, we will talk about it when we come back." ”
With that, he left the courtyard with Promi and David.
On the way from here to the auction house, David asked with puzzlement, "Leave them at home, will that stinky boy escape?"
Angel: "Running away is a trivial matter, there is no need to take it to heart." ”
"If I had known that, I should have beaten him up first. Otherwise, he'll run away, and I'll beat people up!" Davy was still holding a grudge against the theft of the purse.
"It's also strange, how can the people of this Daredevil City like to steal money bags? That Anada, who can intersect with the Duke's Palace, should also be a family with a similar background, how can he do such a thing that can't be put on the table. Angel shook his head and smiled.
The appeal of the twilight auction is evident from the transcendent people who come and go on the streets.
Not only was the ground overcrowded, but there were also wizards in the air rushing to the auction house.
Everyone walked in one direction, and such a grand occasion gave Ingres the feeling of a soldier who was about to set foot on the battlefield. Every step is like paving the way for an epic poem to be written.
After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at their destination - the twilight auction house.
It was a tin square tower full of metal ruins, and there were several long sky staircases that extended to the top of the iron square tower, and the sky stairs fluttered gray-white moon flags at regular intervals, which seemed to add a sense of vastness to the whole building.
The tin square towers are tall and wide, with chimneys on each floor that spew smoke from the outside.
Its shell is not decorated, the iron sheet is mottled, with brick-red rust marks, and occasionally there are holes, and you can also see traces of repairing with other colors of iron sheet, the overall look is a bit messy, but there is a beauty of ruin order.
The tin tower is tens of meters wide on each side, and there are gates on each side. So although there are a lot of people, it is not crowded.
It's just that...... Ingres suddenly remembered something: "Master Promi, don't you need an invitation for this twilight auction?"
When Ingres was very young, he accompanied the elder Pat to an auction in Watford, and it seemed that he needed an invitation before entering, but this was his early memory, and Ingres never remembered it until he saw the auction house.
Promi smiled, "You didn't ask, I thought David told you." ”
"The twilight auction house, the usual rules are not mentioned for the time being, and there are two big auctions a year, there are outfield and infield. The outfield is in the lobby on the first floor, and you can see the picture of the infield through the central screen, and anyone can enter the outfield, and you can also bid in the public bidding area, but each person can only bid 3 times, and each bid needs to pay a fee of 5 magic crystals. ”
"The infield can be bid at any time, and there is no limit to the number of times. ”
This auction model is novel, and the number of bids in the field is limited, so each bid needs to be very high, and people who are so high that the infield dare not follow the auction, otherwise it will be difficult to win the lot they want. Although there are restrictions on the auction, at the same time, the auction can avoid the risk of being directly threatened by the wizard, which can be regarded as a kind of check.
"Do you need an invitation for the infield?" Ingres asked.
"The invitation is for private exchanges, and there are so many people in the big auction, how can everyone send invitations. Promesh, "There are actually two qualifications to enter the infield, one is the VIP of the twilight auction, and the other is to spend money to buy tickets." ”
"So we're going to buy tickets now, and how much is the ticket price?" Ingres frowned, he didn't take much of the precious material, he probably wouldn't compete with the wizard. Therefore, it must be cost-effective in the infield, and he still has to pay magic crystals for every auction in the outfield, and he is still a little reluctant.
Promi smiled and shook her head, looking very stylish.
Seeing this, David immediately stepped forward and patted his horse and said, "Angel, you don't have to worry! We don't need to buy tickets at all, Master Promi is the silver card VIP of the twilight auction!"
"Silver card VIP?" Angel remembered Grea's Barbie restaurant, which was also graded like this, is it now customary to use gold, silver and bronze in both restaurants and taverns?
"The so-called silver card VIP, not only can 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 not having a seat! If you want to get a silver card VIP, it is not a simple matter, at least you have to consume more than 5000 magic crystals at one time, and the twilight auction will also evaluate your personal ability, and after the review team will review you, you will be issued a card! Generally speaking, among the wizard apprentices, you can get a silver card, I estimate that there is only Master Prome at present. ”
David's intellect made Promi smile even happier. At this time, if he himself has a VIP silver card, how precious the silver card is, how much it will be cheaper! Therefore, if he carries a little brother who knows how to look at it, he can be more understated and quietly pretended.
"Oh, I see. Ingres had shock on his face, but his heart was unwavering.
At this time, less than twenty minutes before the auction officially began, the hall was basically full, Promi looked at the crowds in the hall, and walked into the passage of the inner field with Angel and David with a high-spirited step.
Angel thought that the silver VIP area was probably a private room. But in fact, the silver VIP area is actually the second floor of the infield, where you can see the situation of the auction table from a high vantage point, and the seats are relatively scattered so that they are not too crowded.
Once the three of them were seated, Angel unbuttoned his coat to make room for Toby.
It was only then that Ingres had time to take a look at the entire infield of the auction.
The infield is not as big as Ingres imagined, and there are not as many people sitting in the infield as he imagined, and the venue is estimated to be a little smaller than an ordinary concert hall, and there are only a few hundred people sitting on the first floor.
However, Ingres noticed that among these hundreds of people, although most of them were wizard apprentices, there were also more than a dozen official wizards with extremely powerful hidden powers, similar to Flora's level.
In addition to the ordinary seats on the first floor, the silver VIP area on the second floor, and the gold VIP room on the third floor, the private room is fully enclosed, and Angel can't observe the inside, but it is estimated that the gold card VIPs should be official wizard level.
Angel's curious look also attracted the attention of many people, including wizards. However, when he saw that Ingres was just a young boy, he withdrew his gaze.
At this time, Promi began to introduce the twilight auction to Angell: "The usual twilight auction has a separate hall, materials, potions, weapons, etc...... There are partitions, and you can go to the corresponding area according to your choice. However, only the annual auction is a comprehensive auction, and there is no room for it. ”
Promi talked about his experience of becoming a Silver VIP again, and about five minutes later, with a wonderful sound of the horn, all the lights in the infield dimmed.
"Let's go, if you want to bid, just use the magic input to the communicator next to the seat. Because the lights on the field were dim, Promi's voice was a little hoarse.
"I am obsessed with the trials of time, in search of eternal and immortal truths. But the road is long and arduous. Looking at the sky at the mouth of the well, there is no dust, only the twilight and glow accompany my heart. A middle-aged woman shrouded in glowing light slowly emerged from the illusion.
"Good night, everyone, I'm the auctioneer of the Twilight Auction House, and I have forgotten my name, so you can call me 'Twilight'. As the middle-aged woman spoke, the glow around her slowly dissipated. Revealing her true face, a bland and unremarkable appearance.
"Without further ado, after review, there are a total of 173 lots available for admission today, and many of them are mysterious. Now on, it's time for the auction. Twilight's voice is not subdued, but simply plain and straightforward, but it still has an eerie power that can move people's emotions.
"The first lot is a set of 19 bottles of Yingrong Elixir from Dongxue Pharmacy. The starting price is zero, and the price increase shall not be less than 30 magic crystals each time. ”
