The auction venue of the Bi'an Chamber of Commerce is not indoors, but a huge ship-shaped wooden platform is set up in the central square. Behind the wooden platform is the golden statue of the mercenary king Longto Guy.
The entire wooden platform is in the shape of a huge ship built of wooden boards. The ship's planks are surrounded by densely packed thick pine oil torches. There are also many crystal lanterns as big as water tanks hanging on the ship's side. Because it is not dark yet, the lanterns and
The torches were not lit. From a distance, the slipway looked like a Hongmeng beast guarding the statue of the king of the Blood Wolf Empire.
There was a bustle of people below the slipway. The streets of Delma City were almost deserted. All the residents and the mercenaries who came to worship came here to watch the excitement. The clever aborigines had already taken advantage of the vantage point and kept selling ale to the crowd.
While eating, many mercenaries also began to call their friends, talking loudly about last year's harvest and what they had seen along the way, and inviting each other to visit their kingdoms.
"This beautiful lady, I have a piece here made of meteorite iron... Hehe, you know. I spent seventy-seven forty-nine days to forge it, and another ninety-nine and eighty-one days to polish it smooth. This is simply
It’s a magical weapon. Madam, do you want to buy one?”
Feng Tie locked his target in the crowd, a graceful woman in luxurious clothes, gently shaking a brocade fan in her hand. Feng Tie secretly took out a thick stick wrapped in silk from her arms.
Open the package and start selling to the lady.
"This is simply an artifact. It is a must-have item for your home, travel, party and leisure. Such a good thing only costs 998..."
"Boy, what do you do? You sell all these messy things to my wife. I think you are tired of living!"
A bald man with a scarred face squeezed out of the crowd and glared at Feng Tie with threats and harsh words, while the lady covered her mouth with a delicate handkerchief and giggled non-stop.
"Oh, brother, don't be angry. I just sell two cucumbers to support my family. Isn't it okay if I don't sell them? Let's go now. Let's go now."
With a smile on his face, Feng Tie nodded and stepped back, blending into the crowd and disappearing under the vigilant gaze of the bald man.
"Damn it, no one in Dema City knows what the goods are, and they have been working hard for a long time and haven't sold a single one!" Feng Tie threw the iron bar in his hand to the ground with all his strength, and stepped on it bitterly.
"Guess who I am?" came a girl's voice like a silver bell.
Feng Tie felt his eyes go dark, and a pair of soft, boneless hands covered his eyes. Two soft and warm touches came from his back, mixed with a faint fragrance, which shocked Feng Tie's spirit.
"You are really naughty for playing this kind of game." Feng Tie pulled out a lustful smile at the corner of his mouth. He reached back and wanted to touch the plump figure behind him, but was dodged by the girl's flexible body.
Opened. "Well, I guess you must be Yolanda!"
"How about it, my beautiful female president, you are still attracted by my handsome appearance and elegant temperament. Let me just say, what's so good about that gorilla? It's better to follow this Baron to have a happy future.
.”
The girl behind her stiffened slightly when she heard the words Yolanda. After hearing the words beautiful female president, the girl's body shook violently, and her two little hands covering Feng Tie's eyes gradually became cold.
"Haha, you will be embarrassed after I guessed it." Feng Tie felt proud for a while, "I am very touched by your sneaky behavior of coming to see me alone today. I am a very dedicated man. I am in Dema
You are the only woman I know in this city, I swear, I will treat you well all my life in Dema City, believe me."
"Hmm..." The girl seemed to agree perfunctorily, and her two little hands suddenly let go of Feng Tie's eyes.
"Hey, come on, baby, let me hug you." Feng Tie turned around and stretched out his arms to give Yolanda a warm and happy hug, but there was no one behind him.
"What's going on?" Feng Tie was puzzled. His eyes kept looking for Yolanda's shadow in the crowd, but the square was packed with people, so it was not that easy to find someone.
"It's broken. This is embarrassing." Feng Tie found a blond girl dragging a little boy's hand through the crowd, and quickly ran away. The little boy was holding the hand tightly.
The thing seemed to be somewhat similar to his own wallet, and an ominous premonition came over him. Feng Tie quickly lowered his head and looked at his waist, but there was nothing there.
"Stop, you two little thieves, you dare to steal my money bag, catch the thief!" Feng Tie shouted and pushed through the crowd and chased the two little thieves, but there were too many people and he couldn't
After a while, Fengtie lost sight of the figure and could only bend down and hold his knees, breathing heavily.
"Master, Master!"
Xiong Da pushed through the crowd and followed the sound to find Feng Tie: "So you are here, young master. If you didn't yell, I wouldn't have known you were here. There are too many people. Damn it! Eh? Master, what's wrong with your eyes?"
famous?"
"Big Bear!"
Feng Tie looked as if he had seen the police uncle's complaint of grievance, and threw himself into Xiong Da's arms and burst into tears: "Two thieves stole the young master's wallet, oooooooooooo..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, how could this happen, young master, now our master and servant have nothing. I just wanted to tell you that I have met with misfortune..."
"Ah, you are more unlucky than me. What happened to you, Xiong Da?"
"Master, I was walking on the street just now. Suddenly a woman covered my eyes from behind and asked me to guess who she was. You don't know, Master, the woman who covered my eyes had a pair of
The huge 36d was directly slapped on my back, and I guessed, I said, are you Xiao Hong, who sells watermelons, and he said no. I asked, are you Xiao Lu, who sells durians, and he also said no,
Then I asked again..."
"Okay, don't say anything special!" Feng Tie firmly grabbed Xiong Da's clothes, and his tears had soaked the two people's clothes. "I know what happened next. When that 36d let go of you, you found out
The money bag is gone, right? Wuwuwuwu..."
"That's not right, young master, you guessed wrong." Xiong Da said while wiping his tears.
"Ah?" Feng Tie was extremely surprised, "Is it possible that you didn't lose your money bag? How could this happen?"
Feng Tie had to reflect on his miserable life.
"No, Master, not only have I lost my wallet, but also our luggage, the bellyband that Linda and Lucy gave you, and the floral underpants that Miss Watermelon gave to me. They are all lost, Master!"
"
"puff!"
Feng Tie spurted a mouthful of old blood far away and sat on the ground motionless.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, Master. How can I explain it to the Master and Madam when you get back? Master, you look so stupid." Xiong Da cried out sadly.
"What an injustice!" Feng Tie took a breath and then beat the ground heavily and cried loudly, "Every year I hunt geese and this year I was blinded by geese pecking me. I think I, Feng Tie, was also the one when the geese plucking their feathers and the geese leaving their velvet passed by.
Lord, even the simple woodcutter on the way had to pretend to be crazy and trick him into drinking ale. How easy was it for me? I didn’t expect that I would be ridiculed by people in the world after I fell into the tragic end of being deceived today.
How can I live!"
"Your Excellency Baron, what are you doing here? My lady has been looking for you for a long time!"
Yolanda's butler, Tiger, was panting and took Feng Tie's arm, pushing aside the crowd and walking towards the ship. While talking to Feng Tie, he said: "The auction is about to start. Everyone is already in their places. The only thing left is
You are alone. You should at least say hello next time you come out to watch the fun. Your friend, General Luofu, thought you were lost. You see, I, with my old arms and legs, have to look for you in the vast sea of people.
Is it easy? I said, Lord Baron, you can’t be so willful in the future. According to my observation..."
Fengtie: "Old man, are you sure your surname is not Tang?"
Under the leadership of Tiger, Feng Tie and Xiong Da walked through many stairs and aisles heavily guarded by heavy guards and arrived at the slipway. Luofu was waiting for Feng Tie anxiously, and saw Feng Tie's face covered with gray sweat in embarrassment.
He didn't say anything, he just made an angry expression and walked away.
Feng Tie finally saw the whole situation clearly on the slipway.
There is a silver-painted wooden platform near the bow. On the wooden platform are a thick stack of parchment and a small and exquisite crystal ball. It seems that this is the host platform for auction items. The host platform is facing it.
Hundreds of square tables and many chairs have been placed on the open-air boat deck as a rest area for buyers. Behind it is the VIP seat, and a gradually upward staircase separates two rows of small rooms on both sides, with the windows facing each other.
In front of the host table, each window is marked with the names of the guests to avoid confusion.
Considering that every item auctioned by the Bian'an Chamber of Commerce is a shocking treasure, most of the buyers deliberately hide their origins and real names in order to avoid the concern of the young people, so there are many people sitting on the slipway one by one.
They all wore large hooded cloaks, and few of them showed off.
The only exception was a young man with a sinister expression who was dressed luxuriously and wore a gold scabbard studded with gems at his waist. He slowly walked into his box with two powerful guards, his sharp eyes piercing unkindly.
Feng Tie explained to Luo Fu and Feng Tie, who was following behind Luo Fu with a smile.
Feng Tie was holding Luofu's lapel and complaining endlessly about the poor public security situation in Wolf Kingdom. He felt cold for no reason. He looked around and met the eyes of the young man in Chinese clothes. Because the distance was far away, the sky was very dark. Feng Tie was not there.
Without looking at the appearance of the young man in Tsinghua uniform, I was still wondering why this person's outline looked so familiar. Why was he staring at me? The young man in Chinese uniform had already entered the box.
The berth began to become noisy, and the people participating in the auction found their seats one after another. Two distinct camps were formed on the berth: the guests sitting at the open-air square tables were mostly wealthy businessmen and women from various countries on the mainland.
Representatives of well-known mercenary groups, and sometimes some small nobles and practitioners with different purposes, because many people know each other, everyone is whispering to each other in a low voice, asking about the goods and prices of this auction; the box area
It was already full, and the doors of a total of twenty private rooms were almost guarded by guards brought by the guests themselves. Except for Fengtie Luofu and the high-profile young man in Chinese clothes, the guests who entered the private rooms were surprised that they showed their true colors.
He covered his face with a big black cloak, and the box area was quiet at the moment.
Xiong Da was frightened by the quiet atmosphere in the box area, and asked Feng Tie softly: "What's going on with these people, young master? They are all wrapped so tightly that you can't even see their faces. They look really scary."
"The items in this auction are really too precious. No matter who buys them, they will feel hot in their hands. They are afraid of arousing others' covetousness. It has nothing to do with us. We just come to watch the fun and don't buy anything. Besides, we sell knives.
You have already lost all your money, you don’t even have any flowery underwear left, and you can’t afford anything, so Xiong Da, you don’t have to be afraid, just stay here and don’t hang around in front of my eyes, young master, I don’t want to see you now, young master.”
The more Feng Tie talked, the angrier he became.
"Oh, okay, Master, please calm down and I will find a nook to squat down. Hey! Master, look outside!" Xiong Da pursed his lips in grievance and looked around for a dark corner to hide, then suddenly screamed.
Feng Tie looked out through the window and saw that the entire ship's plank creaked for a while, revealing numerous densely packed circular holes, each of which was only the size of an adult's fist.
First, a small light green flying insect flew out of the hole, its body emitting a jade-yellow light that kept flashing in the dim night sky.
