Chapter 128 Auction. Interval
When the third auction item, the steel armor imprinted with the weight loss spell, was brought to the auction stage, this auction ushered in a real climax. 【This book is published by the author】
The steel armor with a base price of 600 Kimptons has more than doubled in the blink of an eye.
And Dean, who was still looking forward to this steel armor, completely gave up after this steel armor exceeded 1,000 Kimptons—although he needs a piece of armor now, Dean is not yet luxurious enough. The point of spending thousands of gold, between six hundred and eight hundred, is the maximum range that Dean can bear.
If it exceeds, he would rather switch to leather armor, a long sword, and equip more young people from the knight order.
"Dean, do you like this steel armor very much?"
The Marquis of Vauban had obviously been watching Dean all the time. When he saw the disappointment flashing across Dean's face, he couldn't help but turned his head again and asked.
"Yes, but it's too expensive...I can't afford it at all!"
Facing the auction price which had already exceeded two thousand Kimptons at this moment, Dean showed a wry smile very appropriately.
"I have quite a few similar armors in my collection. If you don't mind Dean, you can come and have a look with me after dinner!"
The Marquis of Vauban gave Dean the greatest kindness with a smile.
And as such words came out, the people around Dean were startled for a moment, and then, different expressions appeared on their faces.
Baron Jayer's face showed pure jealousy and contempt, obviously he didn't think Dean deserved such an honor.
Baron Zandou, after being slightly taken aback, immediately nodded his head as a signal. Undoubtedly, this baron believed that the Lord he was loyal to did nothing wrong, and Dean deserved it.
Only the young lady of Baron Till's family had complicated expressions on her face, including joy, loss, and even worrying about gains and losses.
Happily, Dean, as the head of the local Knights of Tyre, was appreciated by the Marquis of Vauban. This is an honor for Tilling.
And worrying about gain and loss, it was because he was worried that Dean would leave Tillland because of the Marquis' appreciation.
One is the king of a county. One is the lord of a small frontier collar.
Who to serve is obvious to anyone.
Dean naturally also understood the meaning of the words of the Marquis of Vauban - the king of a county, showing his favor to a young man, of course it is impossible without a picture, especially for someone like the Marquis of Vauban The old fox is even more so.
Even, Dean was very clear about what the Lord Marquis saw in him.
future!
In other words, at the current age. The obtained strength!
Maybe it can't be compared with King Xiti who stepped into the golden threshold at the age of nineteen, but at the age of eighteen, he was able to reach the strength of a "nearly" great knight, especially without the premise of "baptism". Dean is enough to make a county king extend an olive branch.
If it was in the previous life. At that time, Dean might have hesitated to accept such an invitation.
However, the reborn Dean will never hesitate——
"Thank you for your request, but I hope to recover the honor of my ancestors with my own hands!"
Dean politely declined.
For Dean, although the city of Vauban is countless times larger than Tyreland, it is definitely not a suitable place for him to develop; first of all. Not to mention those intertwined forces, the shrewdness of the Marquis of Vauban alone is enough to make Dean, who wants to develop rapidly, restrained.
After all, the Marquis of Vauban is not the Baron of Tire.
The former is as shrewd as a fox, while the latter compares with it. He is an honest man with his own duties. What's more, in Tyreland, Dean can rely on his own force value to get more support. After all, even the head of the baron's bodyguard, Dean is sure of fighting against the opponent at this moment.
And in Vauban?
There are at least twenty knights, there are three or four great knights, and there should be one silver knight.
With Dean Assassin's strength between the knight and the great knight, it is obviously quite difficult to get more support.
Of course, the more important thing is: barbarians!
In Tyreland, Dean has initially established a friendship with the small tribe of barbarians. As long as he maintains it carefully, he will eventually form a force that cannot be underestimated.
In the city of Vauban, it is obviously impossible to do this.
Therefore, Dean refused without hesitation.
As for Dean's refusal, Baron Jenner expressed his disbelief, and after that, the contempt on his face became more intense - he obviously thought that Dean was ignorant of flattery and would inevitably be suppressed by the Marquis of Vauban.
Baron Zandou was startled again, and then more admiration appeared on his face—loyalty is also a rare virtue for a knight.
Baron Jando, who believed in the tradition of knights, undoubtedly admired Dean, who was not moved for profit.
As for the lady from Baron Tire's family?
The face at this moment is more complicated, both public and private.
The Marquis of Vauban, who was rejected, was not angry at all, and had such a kind smile on his face - obviously, the Marquis of Vauban, who had experienced several situations, was already mentally prepared.
"I respect your choice, but, Dean, you should also remember an old man's invitation!"
Said the Marquis of Vauban.
For young people who want to restore the honor of their ancestors, the Marquis of Vauban is supportive. Of course, if they want more support, the other party must serve him.
This is the law of nobility, and the Marquis of Vauban will not violate it.
The final transaction price of the magic steel armor was 2,500 Kimptons—for such a price, Dean once again expressed his admiration for the Marquis of Vauban's methods. After all, according to his evaluation, this steel armor Although the production is very good and the magic brand is complete, the price is at most around fifteen hundred Kimptons.
Any more would be overstated.
And the inflated one thousand Kimpton is obviously the seller's wrist.
And the reason why he admired the methods of the Marquis of Vauban.
That's because Dean didn't find anything tricky at the auction site—like other auction sites, the seller would provoke at least two or three buyers, or install one or two of his own people among the buyers.
From Dean's perspective, such a person can still be identified, but here, Dean did not find one.
Everything. It's as if the buyer did it all by himself.
Between deliberate and natural, it is clear at a glance whether the means are superior or inferior.
The fourth and fifth auction items are just like this magic steel armor. been sought after.
Especially the fifth auction item, as the finale item of the first day, the magic long sword fits its identity very well - not only can it speed up the speed of swinging the sword, but it can also produce frost attacks.
Apparently, this is a rare weapon for a skilled swordsman in the Emerald Kingdom.
After all, Emerald's swordsmanship is completely dexterous and good at dodging. When facing a persistent opponent, it lacks the means to truly defeat the enemy.
but. If there is this magic long sword, obviously the result will be different.
Every contact is a magical freeze, and no opponent who is good at holding on will be able to face such an attack.
Thus began the outcry, which was louder than ever before.
And for the asking price of more than 5,000 Kimpton in a short period of time. Dean shrugged his shoulders in admiration - although he would never underestimate the wealth of any noble family that existed for hundreds of years, he would be surprised again every time it was real.
The more intense bidding made Dean feel a little bit less interested.
He really wanted to know, when the Xiti army invaded, whether these nobles would still be as excited for a magic long sword as they are now.
Or...whether the opponent can hold that long sword and go to the battlefield.
And the answer?
Look at Dean lowering his head to hide his murderous eyes. You can understand what's going on.
And just when Dean lowered his head to suppress the killing intent in his heart, a slight sound of footsteps appeared, and stopped in front of the Marquis of Vauban.
After a whisper that Dean couldn't distinguish, the Marquis of Vauban smiled apologetically around. Turned around and left the hall.
Dean's eyes followed the figure of the Marquis of Vauban until he disappeared——
Obviously, as the lord of a county, the Marquis of Vauban should not be absent, leaving the auction he hosted halfway.
Unless something unexpected happened.
And in Vauban at this moment. It seems that there are only two things that need the Marquis of Vauban to care about.
First, about the staff member Mader.
The second, of course, is about this auction.
Regarding the former, the other party's lurking has obviously been prepared for more than ten years, and it is only the disappearance of Chuld Defendi, which obviously cannot completely testify against the other party.
What's more, until now, no one has been able to prove that the other party is related to Chuld Defendi's disappearance.
Therefore, even if the Marquis of Vauban had doubts, it was only doubts.
However, the latter is different!
The fame of the 'Brotherhood' and the notoriety of the local thieves' union are extremely attractive.
Even, according to Dean's guess, that Madele would definitely link the death of his butler and the disappearance of Chuld Defendi with these two forces.
Because, this will not only get rid of his suspicion, but also make him a victim directly and gain more sympathy.
Make his ulterior identity more stable.
Therefore, Mader will definitely contribute to the matter of the 'Brotherhood' planning an auction and attract the attention of the Marquis of Vauban.
As to whether it is correct or not?
Dean was in no hurry.
You know, this magic long sword is the best auction item today.
And at the banquet afterwards, he had plenty of time to observe the every move of His Excellency Mader.
ps second update~
Which brother threw the reminder...Decadence means that you can see it, but you can't eat it, and you feel all kinds of uncomfortable in your heart! ! !
