The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"The auction house moved from Novigrad to Osenfurt last year. To be precise, it was in January last year, probably half a year after the outbreak of the war."

In the early morning of the same day, Virginia took Zelin's arm and introduced to Zelin what she knew about Maximilian's auction house.

"I thought that after the war broke out, the merchants would want to flee to the Free City for asylum. I remember that Ladovide's tax rate on merchants was not very high? Why did he come to Osenfurt?"

"Because Ladoovide gave him an unbelievable tax rate. So his auction house soon moved here, and with a lower fee, he won several treasures. Take the right to auction, otherwise I would not come here to find the pearl for sale."

The number of vendors selling on the street is obviously much less than last year. The fire hit people's trust in safety. This city is known as the safest and most civilized city in the north, but now, many people may question this and move their business to Kevel.

Tancred’s plan was very successful. The nobles of Ridania overthrew Ladovide and eliminated opponents that might compete for the rule of the north for him. The chaos in Ridania successfully made Vezmir II spend some time. The northern economic center established in ten years has gradually shifted to Kerviel.

Walking down the sloping stone road, he immediately saw the sign of the Posotto auction house on the opposite side of the road. At the door of the auction house were guarded by two Redanian soldiers.

"It seems that after the death of Ladovide, Massimilian seemed to have the trust of the noble council immediately?"

"Yes, this is the case. Not only did the tax rate not be cancelled, but the aristocratic council sent people to continue to protect the safety of the auction house, because there are too many treasures waiting to be auctioned. Zelin, do you want to eat some breakfast? It's still early. , I see there seems to be a fish soup seller over there." Virginia raised her finger to the roadside: "Little Yousef invited Joseph to drink the fish soup last time. She said this is the best here. There will be a lot of salt in the snacks, and even fish can be fished out."

"No problem, I'll treat you."

"No, this time I can invite you." Virginia said proudly and dragged Zelin over: "Oh, the Holy Spirit is up, don't tell other people this sentence. If you want me to say, you really should give them one less Those who order pocket money, since there are more and more people in the castle, you have given too much pocket money every month."

"What's the matter?" Zelin raised his head from the soup bowl: "Don't you like it?"

"No, I... The Holy Spirit is on top. I didn’t say that I didn’t like it. It’s just that, if you can save this money and invest in more places where you can make money, you may wait until next year or the year after, the castle’s The income will be higher, instead of next year, there will be a lot of luxury junk that needs to be thrown away." Virginia put down the spoon, broke her fingers and said, "Do you need me to calculate it for you? Especially since Azeroth After Si and the friends of the Sanctuary arrived, if we continue to follow this trend, we will not be able to make ends meet after a long time..."

"Those are just meeting ceremonies, and after that, Xisali and Altea didn't give any more gifts." Zelin sighed: "Besides, Vinnie, what is the purpose of making money? Of course, to be able to be there. When money is needed, the number of coins consumed will not be a problem for us. It is to have more money to live a more comfortable and prosperous life. If all the money earned is kept in the vault, then we What's the point of earning this money? I earn this money, not because I hope that when you want to buy a new piece of clothing or some jewelry, I can directly help you buy it. This is what I have to think about after rebuilding the college The reason for getting some money everywhere."

"Oh." Virginia exhaled: "You are too generous sometimes, don't you? But it doesn't matter, Enid and I can handle these bills. It's still early, we will go in together after eating. Waiting for the auction. After the end, Massimilian will show up and present a gift to the winner."

In front of the auction house, there were two Redania soldiers who were in charge of guarding. After Virginia showed them the invitation letter, she walked in with Zelin.

When they entered the auction house, there were only a few people in it, most of them were servants, and there were also workers busy holding up the auction items.

There is a portrait of a fat whale with two legs standing in the auction house, looking at the venue with his back to the door.

It's Dikoscher.

Zellin made a waiting gesture to Virginia, and then, like Dikoscher, folded his arms across his chest, looking at the back of the spy chief with interest.

The silence lasted for a few minutes, and the employees who were carrying the artworks in the glass cabinets cast curious eyes from time to time.

"...How long are you going to stand there, Zellin?" Dijkstra turned around, rubbed the tip of his red nose, and coughed heavily, "Or you are here to act as a work of art. Of?"

"When did you resign from the Noble Council?" Zelin asked curiously: "Mannequins can make so much money now? Can a spy chief do this kind of thing?"

"This is the most important auction house for the Noble Council." Dijkstra walked up to Zelin and glanced at Virginia: "Is Dalimira still obedient in your castle?"

"She is my guest, but Enid seems to like to use her as a servant. I don't know much. You know, usually when two women are chatting, you can hardly get by." Zelin shrugged: "What's the matter? Something?"

"You and I met by chance, in Redania's territory." The spy chief's lowered cheeks trembled as he swallowed: "I shouldn't have come to ask you why the famous master demon hunter Zelin came to Switzerland. Land of Dania. I thought you were dissatisfied with Dalimira, but I have to tell you in advance that Redania will not return the goods."

"Don't say so unfeeling, Dahlia is a very nice girl."

Virginia quietly kicked Zelin's calf under the robe.

"It's fine if you like it, what treasure have you fancyed the auction house?"

"Nothing, I'm here with Vinnie. Some time ago, Vinnie... During her adventure, she found a beautiful pearl in an underwater cave. It should be able to sell for a lot of money."

Dikoscher made a please gesture to Zelin.

"If you have any treasures in the future, you can get them to sell at this auction house." Dikoscher said: "In the future, many of Ridania's treasures will be sold here. If you have more treasures, I can help. Give you a suitable reserve price. But you can't tell others about this, understand? It depends on our past friendship."

Zelin thought for a while, put his hands behind his back, lowered his head and lowered his voice to Dixie.

"This is where you sold the stolen goods?"

"To be precise is to legalize wealth." Dickos did not change his face at all. He noticed Zelin's strange look: "But this is not corruption. The war has been going on for a year and a half, and the consumption of 20,000 soldiers on the front line is An astronomical figure, we not only have to hire people to transport food bought from various places, but also hire workers to clean up the **** they left behind, otherwise the plague can kill everyone before the men in black come over. Although he was a bastard, he confiscated the personal property of many warlocks and a lot of bankrupt aristocrats, and no one was able to return the items, because what Radovide likes to do is hang his family at the gate of the city. It’s very symmetrical. When it’s not neat, a cat should be hung on it to make up the number. So, I think those patriots will definitely not mind, these unowned properties are brought to fight for those who are still on the front line of the Ponta River. The soldier gave a gift."

"No wonder you still give Posotto such a low tax rate."

"I can introduce someone to you, and you may be interested in his collection."

"Who?"

"You'll know when you get there."

In the lobby of the auction house, there are many treasures waiting to be auctioned, including precious swords, precious magic amulet, rare documents, and statues of unicorns. On the wall, there are paintings of famous artists from all over the world. In the corner, a few guests wearing glasses are pointing around an elf statue.

Virginia went to find her place first, and helped Zelin take a seat by the way. Zelin followed Dixie to the balcony on the side of the auction house. At the edge of the balcony, an old woman wearing a black-gray dress and a pearl necklace is holding on to the guardrail, tasting the wine in the silver cup, and admiring the early morning scenery of Osenfert.

"This is the Countess of Minola." Dikoscher introduced to Zelin, and then looked at Zelin: "This is the master demon hunter Zelin. Zelin, this countess is in Rydania. Known for collecting magic hunting items."

"Your Excellency Dikoscher, good morning." The spirit of the grey-haired countess looks pretty good. She is very gentle. After nodding to Dikoscher, she looked at Zelin: "I once heard from a friend. Speaking of your name, Master Demon Hunter. If you have some... Demon Hunter items that you are willing to sell, I am happy to buy them all, swords, equipment, badges. The best of the wolf school. "

"Why the wolf school?"

"It's a long story." The elder countess paused: "My most precious collection of a wolf school armor, from 1234."

Chapter 2848: New Life Experience

Virginia sat at the auction house, rubbed her hands nervously, and waited for Zelin's return.

But until the auction ended, Virginia didn't wait for Zelin to return.

The mage girl lay helplessly on the backrest in front, and even the good price at the auction failed to make her mood better. Obviously, they agreed to participate in the auction together, but Zelin suddenly left her here alone, and didn't know what attracted her.

That guy named Dixie is really annoying. First he sent a princess, but now he doesn't know what he is talking about with Zelin.

Suddenly, she felt her back patted.

"Are you asleep?"

She sat up and saw that Zelin didn't know when she had gone around behind her.

"It's almost over to sleep." Virginia glanced at Zelin unkindly: "Did you forget the auction?"

"Of course not. Actually, I did talk to Dikoschi about something. Sorry, some events were delayed." Zelin spread his hands: "How did the auction result?"

"Very good, Posotto is coming. Will you come and meet him with me?" Virginia cleaned the black hair in her ears: "What did you talk to Dixie?"

"Nothing, something related to the Demon Hunter."

The countess whom Dikoscher introduced to Zelin has indeed collected a lot of valuable demon hunters in the past forty years. Zelin was surprised to find that her collection actually contains a set of snake school. Master equipment drawings. Had it not been for Zelin to know that the Southern Viper School still kept their equipment drawings, I am afraid he might want to spend money to buy them. After all, the master drawings of each school have different tendencies and enhancements.

Dikoscher did find something to Zelin, and he had an idea that looked very strange to Zelin.

Generally speaking, when the nobles dealt with the nobles who failed in the coup d'etat, or the nobles who failed in the rebellion, they often left a life for them. After all, this is some kind of custom. You respect the rules and open up your opponent's net. When you stand on the trial bench, your opponent will also abide by the rules and will not sentence you to death.
