More than a month ago, Tracy had heard of this name in Meiding City.
At that time, she spent a whole week inquiring about the mission hall in Meiding City, but could not find this legendary magic pattern master.
At that time, not only was she looking for this person, but also the Shenjiangtang and some nobles were also inquiring about this person's whereabouts. Some people even went to Ignorance Hall and paid five thousand gold coins, just to get the true identity of Lone Wolf.
Speaking of which, the lone wolf didn't actually do anything extraordinary.
When he was in the mission hall of Meiding City, his most advanced work was a third-level magic pattern. Most of his other works were first- and second-level low-level magic patterns.
With Tracy's status, there is no need to go out to find such a small person personally. The Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce is very powerful and has recruited hundreds of magic pattern masters. Among them are not only fifth- and sixth-level senior magic pattern masters, but also seven-level magic pattern masters.
There are also many high-level magic pattern masters.
In the imperial capital, the Chamber of Commerce also has a special magic pattern research institute, in which a ninth-level magic pattern master is in charge.
In terms of the strength of magic pattern research, the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce is second only to the royal family, the Divine Craftsman Hall and the Magic Association. It can also be regarded as the mission hall and the three major training camps, and is also outnumbered by them. And a small junior magic pattern master, in
In front of the behemoth of the Chamber of Commerce, he is not even an ant.
However, the lone wolf is different.
This magic pattern master who appeared in Meiding City like a meteor shocked the entire magic pattern world with his magic patterns that no one had ever seen before and had never been recorded in any magic pattern books.
When Tracy sent a Lone Wolf work purchased at a high price to the imperial capital on a magic ship, even the Magic Pattern Research Institute of the Chamber of Commerce was alerted.
The masters of magic patterns looked at and studied the works sent to them, and finally determined that this was a type of magic pattern that was completely different from the current magic pattern system.
The significance of this discovery was so great that the Elders of the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce immediately issued a death order directly to Tracy, asking her to find the lone wolf and win him over at any cost!
The elders of the General Council of Elders are all distinguished and high-ranking figures. Each of them has cultivated their civility to an extremely deep level. When faced with big things, they have always been calm and calm.
But this time, I don’t know what the magic pattern masters of the institute said to the elders. Not only did the elders hurriedly use the Chuanyunyan, which is not easy to use, to convey the message, they set out conditions with almost no upper limit, and a big
The elder even rushed to Meiding City in person to supervise the formation.
When she received the first letter, Tracy already knew the importance of the matter, and the subsequent urgings made her feel the most nervous since she took office.
During those days, Tracy hardly closed her eyes.
The Golden Skull Auction House is one of the three major entities in the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce. In addition to the auction house, there are also the Golden Skull Car Dealership and the Golden Skull Bank.
As a joint business organization, the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce does not engage in specific commodity trading activities. These three major entities were originally platforms established by the chamber of commerce to integrate strength, save costs, and provide information for the merchants in the association.
However, with the development of the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce, these three major platforms have become the most important foundation of the Chamber of Commerce.
Without the Golden Skull Auction House, the transaction volume of bulk commodities and high-end commodities would directly shrink by half. Both sellers and buyers would be at a loss. Without the Golden Skull Car Shop, the empire's transportation capacity would be reduced by one-third, and many remote estates and
Products deep in the mountains cannot even be shipped out.
Without the Golden Skull Bank... merchants would have to carry heavy money boxes and risk being robbed by bandits to conduct transactions. The economic vitality of the empire would also be greatly reduced.
It can be said that the current Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce has become a part of the big tree of the Solan Empire. The lives of the princes and nobles, down to the common people, have been inseparable from the three major platforms established by the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce.
The highest authority of the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce is the Council of Elders.
Every elder has stepped from the bottom of the staff to this throne. They finally stood out from thousands of staff, and what they gained was the supreme power to control this behemoth. Every decision they made
, will cause an earthquake.
They can influence the economy, influence the political situation, and even start wars. The power of money in their hands is far sharper than the lance in the hands of knights!
In the eyes of all the members of the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce, entering the General Council of Elders is as brilliant an achievement as growing from a soldier to an empire marshal. That is almost the entire value of their lives.
For Tracy, it is no exception.
Being able to become the chief executive of the Lulian branch of the Golden Skull Auction House at the age of twenty-seven, her future is much brighter than many others. And now is the best time for her to take a further step. If she can be promoted to the General Assembly
As the elder of the auction house, it is almost certain that he will enter the elders' house in the future.
You must know that the Presbyterian Councils of the three major banks have always been the talent pool of the General Council of Elders. In recent decades, almost all the General Elders have emerged from the Presbyterian Councils of the three major banks.
You can imagine how nervous Tracy was.
Since that lone wolf appeared out of nowhere and caused such a shock in the General Assembly, it meant that she had received a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Just find the lone wolf!
However, the reality is cruel. In the following period, no matter how many people Tracy sent and tried every means, she still did not see the lone wolf. The damn mission hall, with almost harsh defense, will
She, Shenjiangtang and everyone else were blocked from prying eyes.
That time, the General Elder finally left in disappointment, and Tracy's opportunity just slipped away.
However, Tracy is Tracy after all. Although she did not find the lone wolf herself, she still grabbed a clue through her wisdom.
Through painstaking investigation, she found Shirley, who was exiled from the mission hall. That shallow, vain and stupid woman was driven to Meiding with her uncle Justin because of a conflict with Ling Xuan, another second-level supervisor of the mission hall.
Franklin was fired directly from the city.
Without the support of the mission hall, Shirley was in a very embarrassing situation, and her uncle Justin became a useless person who held a bottle of wine all day long and could not even speak a complete sentence.
However, this woman was not without merit. The regret she felt afterwards made her gradually understand one thing. That is, the magical boy who stood up to defend Ling Xuan might not be Ling Xuan's cousin, but the magic pattern man.
The teacher is a "lone wolf". Otherwise, why would Franklin suddenly break in when Justin was questioning the identity of the teenager, expel her and Justin with thunder, and promote Ling Xuan to the branch supervisor?
When Tracy found Shirley, it only cost her a few dozen dollars to get the woman to tell her everything she knew.
The other person’s age, appearance and body shape.
Although Shirley could not remember the other party's appearance during the short conflict, and the confusion and endless regret afterwards made her forget too much, but Tracy finally got some basic information.
For a month, she kept asking for news about Lone Wolf and never gave up.
However, just when she was trying in vain again and again, she did not expect that a sword with a magic pattern drawn by a lone wolf would actually be placed in her hand.
When Master Luke whispered the word "lone wolf" in her ear, it was like a thunder that made her dizzy.
She has no doubt about Master Luke's judgment. Ordinary magic pattern masters may not be able to tell the difference between the lone wolf magic pattern and those secret magic patterns that rarely appear in the world, but Master Luke can definitely tell the difference. Back then
When I acquired the Lone Wolf work, the first person to get it was Luke.
With Master Luke's affirmation, and now seeing the young man sitting quietly on the sofa, Tracy's heartbeat began to pump the blood all over her body at a thousand times speed.
He is seventeen or eighteen years old, has blue eyes, is thin but feels strong... Although he cannot see the color of his hair under his hat, Tracy is at least seven levels sure that this is the lone wolf.
No matter how calmly she made this judgment, there was no way she could calm down now.
However, Tracy is Tracy after all.
It only took a short time for her to wake up and make a decision.
She looked at the magic pattern sword in her hand. The complex and beautiful magic patterns on the sword made the sword look more like a work of art. But a few minutes ago, she had witnessed the viciousness of this "artwork"
.
"Sir," Tracy straightened her back and walked up to Roy with her slender legs: "I don't know, can I talk to you alone?"
"Of course." Roy stood up.
The two arrived at the office at the other end of the corridor. Tracy opened the door and respectfully let Roy go in. Then he quickly walked to the cabinet on the side, took out two wine glasses, poured whiskey with ice, and said with a smile, "No.
You know...what should I call you? Mr. Mask?"
It must be said that Tracy is a very sociable woman. Her friendly smile and relaxed tone of teasing made her immediately close the distance and start the conversation.
"Call me Austin." Roy looked around and smiled, sat down on the sofa, and naturally used the name of the teacher he had never met before.
"This is noble..." Tracy walked up to Roy gracefully and passed the wine to Roy. A strand of blond hair fell down from her slightly sided cheek like a waterfall, which was particularly charming.
She blinked at Roy and said with a smile, "...and a scary name."
With that said, Tracy sat down in front of Roy, crossing her slender legs. She took a sip of wine, stared at him and said: "Well, back to the topic, dear Mr. Austin, I have a suggestion, I don't know if you
Are you interested?"
"Please tell me," Roy said.
Tracy smoothed her long hair around her ears and said slowly: "First of all, your bottle of spiritual power pill. I will make an exception and add it to the second stage catalog of today's auction as a specially recommended auction.
I believe this will arouse the interest of many people."
Roy nodded. Although he knew that a shrewd woman like Tracy would have her own purpose no matter what she did next, he had no reason to refuse the other party's overtures.
Tracy continued: "As for the magic pattern sword... My suggestion is, can you not auction it, but let us purchase it directly?"
"Oh?!" Roy said in surprise, "You're buying it directly?"
"Of course..." Tracy's smile looked a little embarrassed, "This may not be according to the rules. However, we sincerely want to cooperate with you. I will give you this sword.
Higher than the price of the auction items, at the same time, as compensation for this merciless request, we will also give you some other conditions."
Roy looked at Tracy seriously and said, "I'm all ears."
Tracy considered it for a moment and said: "If this sword is rated as a seven-star elementary level, its value should be around five thousand blue gold coins. The auction price may be slightly higher than this. However, since we are sincerely cooperating, I will expel the seven-star sword."
Purchase this sword for the price of a thousand blue gold coins."
Roy's mouth under the mask suddenly opened wide.
When he bought this sword, he only spent six thousand gold. Unexpectedly, after being painted with magic patterns and rated with seven stars, the price increased by more than twenty times.
According to the ratio of one to twenty, seven thousand blue gold coins is a full 140,000 gold coins! This is enough money to buy a large manor with slaves and various properties!
Although he had known that great nobles often spent huge sums of money on a piece of equipment, and their wealth was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine. But Roy still couldn't believe that a smart person like Tracy would give such a far-reaching price.
The price far exceeded my expectations.
Originally, in his opinion, it was a blessing to be able to sell it for 50,000 gold coins.
However, after just a change of thought, Roy understood.
Obviously, Tracy is not a bad bargainer, but a shrewd businessman. She is using this brainless way to show her favor.
Thinking of this, Roy calmed down and asked: "Why?"
Tracey was obviously a little confused: "What why?"
"Why give me such a price that is far beyond my expectations?" Roy asked simply.
The room fell into silence. Roy's words made Tracy understand that her money was not wasted. She looked at the boy in front of her with admiration, who was no more than ten years younger than herself, smiled slightly and said: "Okay,
To put it bluntly, this sword is not worth seven thousand blue gold coins."
"But..." She stared at Roy: "The research value of the magic pattern on it far exceeds the value of the sword itself. Personally, I am Mr. Lone Wolf Magic Pattern Master's
A loyal fan. Even if it is not for the chamber of commerce that I serve, and it is just for a private collection, I am willing to buy his works."
Roy laughed. The word lone wolf said everything.
"Then, I'd like to hear your other conditions."

"It's really boring." Scarlett gently shook the goose feather fan in her hand and stared at the auction table below the box.
The auctioneer on the stage was holding up a Renaissance painting and repeating the bidders' bids at the top of his lungs, while the crowd below the stage seemed a little too rational. Only a few nobles were competing for it.
This oil painting is quite good to put in the living room.
The auction has entered the second stage.
The previous bulk commodity trading made Scarlett so bored that she wanted to sleep. Wool, ore, linen, they all tasted as greasy as they tasted. I originally thought that after entering the second stage, there would be some good stuff, but I didn’t expect it.
, until now, I haven’t seen one that can make people’s eyes light up.
Covering her mouth with a fan and yawning, Scarlett's thoughts drifted to other places.
There have been a lot of interesting things recently.
Tomorrow was the day when Archduke Adolf entered the city. However, this kind of celebration was nothing new to her. Only the Archduke's dance in the evening was a bit exciting.
In addition, I heard that the E-Brigade, which was regarded as rubbish by everyone, seems to have undergone a new and unique change. The great instructor Kameni who came from the main camp was training the E-Brigade like crazy. No matter whether it is a new student or an old student, everyone
They were tortured to the point of moaning and groaning. In just one week, three of them quit the academy.
Thinking of this, Scarlett couldn't help but raise a sarcastic smile.
This world is not fair after all. The gap between genius and waste cannot be made up through hard work. Just like the person in his heart, ordinary people will never be able to catch up with him no matter how hard they work. They can only suffer.
looking up at his back.
Everyone said that Kameni was very dissatisfied with Vice Principal Diarra's resource allocation plan. This time, he tried hard to seize resources from other brigades.
But to be honest, no matter how hard the losers of E-Brigade go about it, in Scarlett’s opinion, it’s not as reliable as the Great Instructor’s application to go into battle in person.
Thinking of E-Brigade, Scarlett thought of that toy.
It seems to be called Roy?
This is really an interesting name, just like cousin Alessia's guardian knight... ordinary and annoying.
However, as a plaything, he is quite qualified. During the freshman entrance exam on the first day of school, he and a group of civilian students beat up Bruno and Quincy, and Diarra was so angry that his face turned blue. Later, he beat himself up
Klaus was sent with a broken arm and he spat on the letter of challenge...
The curve of Scarlett's mouth became a little cold.
If such a guy falls into your hands, why not have a good time? Of course, you can't play to death all at once. He has to be desperate for the future of life to be satisfied.
But in recent days, this country bumpkin seems to be avoiding everyone, and he doesn't even participate in daily training. I don't know if he is afraid of Na Kameni, or he is afraid of the next challenge.
Just as she was thinking about it, suddenly, in her peripheral vision, several figures sitting diagonally across the compartment caught Scarlett's attention.
She looked intently. She saw the young man wearing a mask and the girl in a green tutu. They were politely nodding to the nobles in the nearby box to apologize, indicating that they came at this time and disturbed everyone. And the people around her
Several aristocratic children bowed politely.
After seeing the smile on the girl's lips and glancing over at her, everyone became excited and wanted to go over and strike up a conversation right away.
What Scarlett didn't expect was that when the eyes of the man and woman met hers, they turned a blind eye and turned their heads carelessly.
Scarlett smiled and gently closed the fan. The slender fingers that grabbed the fan turned white from the exertion.

"If that woman knew it was you sitting in front of her, she would definitely eat you up." The dignified and ladylike Mai Ya'er straightened her waist and reservedly looked at the auction table, and calmly looked at the young nobles nearby.
Discharge, whispering to Roy.
"Eat me?" Roy smiled naively, "I'm afraid she doesn't have such a good appetite."
"By the way, what did that woman do when she called you aside just now?" Mal'er's fingers seemed to be placed on Roy's legs without any care, like an intimate couple.
"If you dare to pinch me, I will throw you down." Roy said expressionlessly.
"Humph, you pervert, I don't know how you hooked up with her," Ma Ya'er said sourly, "After being locked in the room for so long, when she came out, the face of the woman named Tracy was so full of love...
..."
"What do you mean by erotic love? That's nonsense!" Roy couldn't laugh or cry.
"Don't forget, I'm a dark elf," Malyaer said, "You can't hide this from me."
Roy turned his head away, too lazy to pay attention to her.
In fact, Tracy just put forward a series of conditions at that time, and he accepted. It was that simple.
The condition Tracy proposed was that as compensation for the private transaction of the magic pattern sword, the Golden Skull Chamber of Commerce would give him the treatment of a five-star VIP.
This means that he has a permanent auction seat at the Munich City Auction House. At the same time, he will receive the highest level of courtesy at any Golden Skull Auction House. Moreover, he also received 10,000 blue gold coins from the Golden Skull Trading Company.
There are no additional conditions for the loan amount. No guarantee may be provided at the time of auction.
And after he agreed to this condition, Tracy was beaming with joy.
Of course, no one would believe such a thing if he told it to her. Even if he told Mal'er now, she would use her instinct to conclude that there was some kind of ulterior relationship between herself and Tracy.
Tracy's body was so moisturized that she was so soft and tender that she was so determined to stuff the benefits into her pocket.
"goat!"
"Idiot woman!"
The two cursed each other and finally became quiet.
After a few auction items, Ma Ya'er had forgotten to vent her anger with Roy and asked curiously: "By the way, you just said you were going to deal with the woman opposite. Do you want to beat her up?"
"No..." That confused and honest smile appeared on Roy's face again, "The first step is to continue ogling the boys around her."
............

"Annie," Les looked at the group of masked people in the opposite box and asked his sister with some curiosity: "Who do you think they are?"
"I don't know." Anne looked over there with no interest and shook her head.
The atmosphere in the auction house made Anne very uncomfortable.
The Precursor family was just a small baron, one of thousands of low-level nobles. Her father Brian had a gentle and tolerant temperament, and levied very few taxes on Borabel. Even in the heyday before the war, all the family's assets plus
It only cost a few hundred thousand gold.
But now, they have lost even their family's territory. She and her brother Les are not only far different in status from the noble children here, but they are also short of money. Sitting here, they can't even buy the cheapest auction items.
Okay. Even the tutu I'm wearing was modified from my mother's dress.
But her brother Les seemed to turn a blind eye to the family's embarrassment and the contempt shown in the eyes of the aristocratic children from time to time. Not only did she rack her brains every day to please, but she also forced her to treat those aristocratic children with undisguised possessiveness in their eyes.
Welcome with a smile.
Anne was very aware of her beauty. She also knew how to use the advantages of women and the superficial reserve of aristocrats to protect herself.
However, among these noble children, no matter how smart she is, no matter how clever she is, she is just a little elk among the wolves. Sooner or later, she will accept her destiny for the sake of her brother's dream of reviving the family of contenders.
The ending. At this point, she has already accepted her fate.
Looking at Les who looked across from him from time to time, Anne felt a little sad.
The brother who used to love her and was always smiling and letting her go has disappeared. The current Les is so strange that she almost doesn't recognize him.
"Annie, have you noticed, that's box number five?" Les didn't pay attention to Anne's abnormality at all. Instead, he devoted all his energy to the people opposite him and said excitedly. "It's not a noble with a very high status.
It’s impossible to sit in.”
Anne nodded with interest.
Not only did she notice it, but the other noble children around her also noticed it.
The Golden Skull Auction Hall in Munich, like the Opera House, has extremely strict hierarchies in the seating arrangement. Only nobles with high status are allowed to enter the boxes. The boxes near the front are all occupied by Mu
Only prominent families in Nicheng are eligible to sit.
The other party is obviously not a noble from Munich, but the fact that they can enter box number 5 means that their status is definitely not low. They are probably from a top family.
Perhaps it was because of the noble status of the other party, or perhaps it was because the eyes under the peacock mask of the girl in the box and the half of her exposed face were so perfect and charming that not only the young nobles present frequently turned their attention to her, but also those around him
My companion also looked restless.
As long as the girls over there take a look at this, their faces will shine with excitement, and they will nod politely.
And the girl wearing the peacock mask seemed to be particularly interested in one of the people in this group. Every time she watched the auction for a while, she would secretly look this way behind the back of the young man and others around her. As soon as she met the nobles
When he caught their eyes, he turned away quickly, like a little girl who was caught stealing candy.
Of course the boys were very excited, and even brother Les was a little ready to make a move.
However, the girls were not very happy. Anne found that the faces of several aristocratic ladies around her were blue, and even Scarlett, who had been staring at the auction table intently, did not look very good-looking.
However, this has nothing to do with Anne.
At this time, she felt much more comfortable than before when everyone around her was talking about how much a certain auction item cost and showing off that she had similar things at home.
Her interested eyes fell on the masked boy. For some reason, his figure and profile reminded her of Roy.
