The final gentleman

Since the 'night' designated by the Duke had no idea how long it would take to arrive. After all, the concept of time in the old world had long been disrupted by the war, he had no choice but to call the Golden Mask to ask.

As for the golden mask on the Duke's left hand, he didn't know it either.

He just informed Yi Chen that the time defined by the Duke himself would not be communicated to anyone, but there would be an obvious reminder in the chamber of commerce area half an hour before the auction started.

In this case, Yi Chen had nothing to do in his room, so he took Thirteen to the street to solve the problem of curiosity in advance.

I found the Candle Puppet Shop again. The boss was packing and cleaning the goods here. A large number of Candle Puppet were involved in this process, carrying large and small bags and preparing to go to the Duke Chamber of Commerce.

Yi Chen was also unambiguous and directly stated that he wanted knowledge books about candle puppets.

In the end, the other party didn't care about this kind of thing at all and just took it out. According to the boss, every bookstore in Lantern City has similar books on candle puppet crafts.

There are even special lantern festival schools. Countless young people want to become candle puppet masters, but in the end, very few can transform their knowledge into practical applications.

at the same time,

The boss naturally noticed the change in the candle behind Yi Chen, but he was busy moving at the moment, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Back to the Chamber of Commerce District,

Thirteen held an old book that had been dog-eared and read the contents with relish.

Every page is covered with neat notes, and there are even some presentation drawings drawn by the boss when he was young. This makes Shisan's understanding speed more than double, and he can even use the notes to quickly break through some difficult understanding points. .

Of course, and the most important point,

After being taught exclusively, Zhu Nao not only has perfect consciousness, but can also build a memory palace centered on epilepsy. Moreover, as a candle puppet, Thirteen's brain is already on the upper side among her kind, which is why she can handle such epilepsy.

In terms of reading, although she has no eyes, she can rely on the firelight in her skull to shine light from between her eye sockets to achieve visual feedback. When reading, it is like two flashlights shining on the book, even in a dark environment. Does not affect reading.

The two of them didn't hang out in the Chamber of Commerce neighborhood for long.

A series of inflated and swollen balloons floated in the street, with huge gold banners attached below, and the liquid text on them even counted down.

At the same time, a large number of Golden Mask employees shouted in the streets, "The auction will start in half an hour. All guests who have qualified for admission are requested to enter in order."

At the same time, a golden mask also came to Yi Chen, leading high-quality customers into the venue individually through a special channel, and then along the stairs to the special private room on the highest floor.

Not only will it not be affected by other bidders, food rationing and personal services will be provided throughout the process.

This made Yi Chen strangely embarrassed. He didn't have much money himself. When the auction ended, he felt embarrassed to enjoy such high treatment but not buy anything.

Jin Mask, who was pouring his brain juice aside, seemed to notice Yi Chen's discomfort, and said in a magnetic and friendly voice:

"Mr. William seems to have some misunderstanding. The service we provide you has nothing to do with whether you consume or not. It only depends on your distinguished status. We are very happy that you can come here in person, so please don't have any psychological burden.

You can watch this auction as a reality show. "

"Thanks."

The golden mask also glanced at the candle puppet who was reading next to Yi Chen. The smiling expression on the mask changed, "Mr. William, have you given the candle puppet self-awareness?"

"Yes."

"Being able to transform the candle brain, you obviously have quite superb brain skills. If you are interested, we can discuss this knowledge in the future. I also have my own golden understanding of the brain."

"OK."

"I won't disturb you."

As the golden mask left, Yi Chen turned his attention to the inner area of ​​the auction, which was designed to be similar to an opera house. The VIP room, atrium and lower floor were all packed.

The piles of gold and silver jewelry on the central stand have been cleared, and the Duke has temporarily left.

Even though there were nearly ten thousand people participating, the whole place was silent, and even the sound of breathing was suppressed to a minimum to express respect for the Duke.

time up,

boom!

The top floor of the auction venue was smashed by some kind of giant object, and a miniature castle fell directly, smashing and replacing the original exhibition stand.

As the castle unfolded, the Duke himself was lying in it chewing food.

"Time flies so fast, it's already night when I'm distracted.

Today's auction held in Ignasi, the Light City, was the same as usual. It started with the auction of a total of 30 selected items, followed by the mandatory auction.

I will randomly select ten lucky spectators, and you must bring out sufficiently high-quality and rare items for the forced auction. If you cannot, you will need to become a slave and auction the right to use slaves for more than ten years.

let's start!

The first piece……"

The Duke took out a toothpick like a steel fork, took out a large amount of twisted things from between his teeth, rolled them into balls and held them in the palm of his hand.

"This is the remnant of the delicious food I enjoyed at the Lantern City dinner. The starting price is one coin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a thousand people bid at the same time.

In an instant, the price was raised to 30,000 yuan, and then an old man with a face covered with squid tentacles and a fish-man face directly bid 40,000 yuan to win it.

Seeing this scene, Yi Chen frowned, a little hard to understand.

Thirteen was still reading, completely undisturbed.

Half of Little Grape's head sprouted out, and a mouth sprouted from the top of his head. "How can the residue between the teeth be sold for such a high price? Isn't this group of people secretly in love with the Duke?"

Huang Pi, who had never spoken much, gave the answer between his retinas.

≮This is not an ordinary remnant between teeth, but a top-quality ingredient stained with the Duke's saliva and gold tooth stains. It is rare to open an auction with this thing, and the Duke is obviously in a good mood.

If you take it directly, there is a certain probability of increasing the illusory "lucky value"≯

"Are you lucky?"

As a gentleman, Yi Chen also had the basic attribute of "lucky", but after more than three hundred years of development in the organization, no one has ever made a breakthrough with luck, and has never even heard of anything about improving luck.

Now I know a way to increase my luck, but the price is too high.

As the meat balls were sold at a high price of 45,000, the prices of most of the subsequent exhibits ranged from around 10,000 to 30,000. Although there were a few interesting items, in Yi Chen's eyes they were not worth spending a lot of money on.

With all thirty exhibits on display, Yi Chen's horizons have been broadened. Through these items, he can deepen his understanding of the old world. Huang Pi will occasionally pop up to explain the value of the items.

The Duke in the castle smiled excitedly, "Okay! Next is everyone's favorite forced auction, let me draw it directly."

The Duke put his fat palm into his body and pulled out ten stones with numbers printed on them.

The number corresponds to the auctioneer's number,

The people who were selected showed some expressions of joy, because they had prepared the auction items in advance, and hoped to sell them at a good price. The most important thing was to be close to the Duke, to be tainted with the other person's aura, and maybe even be valued by the Duke and become a high-quality item. customer.

But there are also ugly-looking viewers,

They have nothing worthy of being auctioned, which means they need to be auctioned off as slaves.

at this time,

The yellow skin in the gentleman's clothes trembled, as if he was feeling something.

And Yi Chen's eyes also caught a 'lucky man' who was walking onto the stage.

"Pin slave? No...why is this man's skin so festered?"
