Chapter 316: The Auction House
Where the prophecy spell is actually used.
It's actually here?
After the two of them got out of the carriage together and came to the destination of the trip.
Looking at the building in front of him, Ronald inevitably felt some subtle emotion in his heart.
An accessory shop called Brucera......
How to describe it?
Presumably influenced by the aesthetic of the era, this palatial jewelry store is particularly fond of intricate and ornate gold decorations.
The process of processing the carved lines and edges and corners on the façade......
There is one place, almost all the details are the same extravagant and gorgeous, these things are placed at the door of the store, and an aura of fear that others will not know that he is rich is so strong that it is emanated.
Faced with such a situation, Ronald is naturally emotionally complicated now.
Is...... It is rare to encounter such a completely unacceptable aesthetic.
What Ronald prefers is the aesthetic that can reflect history and personal will in cool colors and extensive carvings.
He really doesn't like this kind of gorgeous thing to the extreme.
At the same time, Theseus, who was next to Ronald, also noticed the change in him.
So, the middle-aged spell caster stepped forward and patted Ronald on the shoulder, and then took the initiative to speak:
"Don't worry, I'm not in the wrong place."
"You don't have to worry about anything."
"Places like this have always been one of the best places for us to handle our work, and other people have often done that."
Hughes probably misunderstood the current situation......
In the eyes of the Springs resident, Ronald's reaction now is that of a typical country man who comes to Springs and is shocked by the bustle before him.
This is very common in the city.
So after saying that, Hughes took the lead and walked to the door of the store, and even the figure in front of him who opened the way seemed to want to dispel Ronald's concerns.
Let's let this misunderstanding continue......
Anyway, it didn't have any effect on himself, so Ronald muttered and nodded:
"That's ...... so"
“……”
So one last glance at the luxury at the door of [Brucerla].
Ronald then followed Theseus into the shop.
He was able to understand the significance of this arrangement.
In places such as banks or valuables stores, there are usually good reasons to have enough defenders to provide a strong defensive force.
At the same time, because of safety reasons, there are not too many visitors to these places.
There is no such thing as an outsider accidentally going into the backstage or accidentally touching the inside of the organization.
It can not only arrange manpower reasonably, but also naturally prevent people from breaking into it by mistake.
Such a place would be an option for arranging key units on the mysterious side.
One more point in particular.
The location of Brucera is on the street of Crown Road.
As long as you follow the straight road, you can see the [Tianhai Palace] where the queen lives.
From a distance, even if something really went wrong one day, the queen would be able to react in the shortest possible time.
There are many details in mind.
Ronald followed Theseus into the halls of Brusella.
This spell caster of the [Book Research Society] doesn't seem to be here for the first time.
Walking to the counter with Ronald, the staff at the counter, whom he was very familiar with, said hello, and then whispered a few words, and then successfully obtained authorization to enter the back of the store.
Immediately, Ronald, led by Hughes, continued to penetrate deep into the rear of [Brucerla].
The interior of the shop is as luxuriously decorated as the façade.
Bright red carpets, intricate gold wall decorations, and paintings that occasionally appear in the hallways.
These things that ordinary people will never consume are decorated in every corner of the store without hesitation.
Walking in it, Hughes also asked Ronald behind him:
"Even in Springs, it's quite a rich place?"
"How does it feel?"
Ronald nodded:
"It's true that I've rarely seen a store like this before."
“……”
The two of them continued to move forward, and the decoration of [Brucella] has maintained the appearance of showing his wealth by taking out as much money as possible, and can be run in the name of the royal family, and the essence of the store is displayed in the luxurious corridors.
Led by Hughes, Ronald continued to move forward here left and right for a few minutes.
Finally, they arrived at their destination today.
Push open the door and walk in, it's a room that looks uniquely designed.
In the middle of the room, which is not small, is surrounded by a number of neatly arranged chairs, and in the center is a stage large enough for a play, and a wooden podium that seems to be used for the host.
Considering the commercial nature of Brucera itself.
Ronald almost blurted out:
"Mr. Theseus, where we came from is an auction house?"
"That's right." Hughes nodded dryly, confirming Ronald's guess, "The place we came from is the auction house of [Brucerla]. ”
"Aside from the warehouse underneath that is guarded by the commissioner of the Investigation Bureau, this is the safest and most soundproofed room in the building. The more complicated things on our side are basically carried out here. ”
Ronald nodded in understanding.
Listening to the meaning of Hus's words, this is the place where the prophecy spell will be performed later.
So he rightly asked:
"And how long do we have to wait?"
Hearing Ronald's question, Theseus replied with a smile:
"Don't worry, they usually won't be delayed for too long."
"We have Mr. Oppenheim made an appointment before, so naturally we have a corresponding way to deal with it."
"All you have to do is wait here obediently and ask questions when the time comes."
"As for everything else, the staff here will take care of it for you."
Ronald slightly jawed:
"Then I'll see."
Theseus continued:
"Alright, come with me first."
"Let's go over there and sit down and wait, it won't take too long."
Walking into the auction room, Hughes led Ronald to a rather front seat and sat down.
The two waited quietly for the arrival of the staff.
“……”
And it was exactly the same as Hughes said.
[Brucerla]'s work didn't keep them waiting too much.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a secret door at the back of the podium opened, and an old man, escorted by several investigators, walked out tremblingly.
However, at this very moment, there was something more on the side of the podium that attracted Ronald's attention.
It was a girl wearing a gorgeous long dress, with a beautiful face, and an extremely dignified walking posture.
- Claudia.
