Chapter 434: Not Simple Auction (1)

The sun sets.

When night falls and lights are on, the wind on the grassland swept the earth and brought the first night light, the Shining Auction of Eagle City is about to begin. As an auction that strictly limits the number of people and identities, the Shining Auction of Eagle City is naturally also with a hint of darkness, just like the world is divided into day and night. Shining Auction also has black and white sides, and everything can be bought and sold here. However, most of the treasures, equipment, magic props found in the ruins by various mercenary groups or guilds when they venture. Or some precious and rare gems, raw materials, magic plants, etc., and sometimes people will buy and sell them. However, this kind of transaction is extremely secret. Unless it is a very trustworthy customer, the auction will not open the door for it.

The Shining Auction is held in the downtown area east of the Eagle City, which is very far from the Battle Angel's Station. It seems that the organizer also knows that although Battle Angel is not very concerned about such things that are neither black nor white, you should not specifically take others' noses to stimulate her. Otherwise, if the Battle Angel one day is too shocked to see it, you will have no place to cry.

Although it was the time to go home, the surrounding area was extremely lively and busy, but the surrounding area of ​​the auction venue was quite quiet, with a serious expression and the fully armed guards had already blocked the surrounding roads, in order to provide a stable, quiet and safe environment for everyone attending the auction. At this time, many nobles and celebrities had already arrived at the auction venue in carriages, and they were dressed up and chatting and laughing. After all, because of the rules of the Shining Auction, most of the people who could enter this venue were acquaintances. Of course, there would be a few strange faces from time to time to attract everyone's attention.

And when Rhodes walked off the carriage, he quickly felt the gazes that everyone around him cast at him.

In fact, when Rhodes and his group first showed up, many nobles had already turned their attention to these young people, not only because of their strange faces, but also because of their extremely dazzling appearance.

Rhodes, who was walking in the front, was wearing a straight black dress, holding a brown wooden stick in his hand, and under his shoulder-length short hair, his dark eyes narrowed slightly. Although Rhodes was undoubtedly a male dress, anyone who saw his delicate and beautiful melon-shaped face would involuntarily mistake him for a woman. Only a faint cold air carried on that side warned everyone how dangerous he was.

If Rhodes is like a beautiful ice sculpture that no one can enter, then Qi Lian, who follows him, is more like a seductive cocktail. The bright red off-shoulder dress cleverly outlines Qi Lian's beautiful and seductive body and towering breasts. The long pink hair that originally tied with a ponytail has now scattered and draped on his shoulders, bringing Qi Lian a kind of charm that I feel pity for. The fluffy tail and the pair of fluffy ears do not make people feel panic and weird, but they make people feel even more cute and charming. Just look at her and it immediately looks like a cocktail. It makes people feel hot all over and dry mouth.

In addition, Anne, who followed the other side of Rhode, was also eye-catching.

She did not wear a good outfit like Rhodes and Qilian. On the contrary, the girl was still wearing her white leather armor and a big and heavy gold shield behind her back, which seemed to have no change. However, because of this, among the crowds who were mostly dressed up, Anne's alternative seemed to be a different scenery, which opened her eyes. In addition, the girl always had a youthful smile on her face, which easily made people feel good.

Of course, the three of them received such attention not only because of their outstanding appearance, but also so simple. In fact, although many people met Rhodes for the first time, for them, this young man had been known for a long time - this was all the blessings of the midsummer festival. After that midsummer festival, Rhodes not only gained practical benefits, but also left a deep impression on many nobles. This was not only because of his strength, but also made many nobles see that this young man is very favored. In addition, his unknown origin made people suspect that he had a very strong background. After this midsummer festival, many people believed that in time, an emerging force would rise in this public domain again.

Because of this, many nobles are not too surprised to see Rhodes and others attending the auction. On the contrary, many of them are thinking about whether to take this opportunity to get close to Rhodes. Even if his power is not here but in Parfield, but thinking about Rhodes, there are still two powerful political backing resources, Marlene and Lijie. - to establish a good relationship with Rhodes here, and maybe they can join the Shania family and the royal family in the future. This deal is too cost-effective.

But this is an auction house, not a dance party, and it is hard for everyone to go up and say hello directly, let alone someone has already come out at this moment.

"Mr. Rod, Miss Seven Love, Miss Anne."

Seeing the figures of the three, Natasha ran out of the crowd with her skirt and came to Rhodes. Grandy was wearing armor and followed behind her. Seeing Rhodes and others, Grandy was stunned for a moment, then turned slightly red, lowered her head and bowed to the three.

"Miss Natasha, Mr. Grandy, I'm glad to see you."

Seeing the arrival of the two, Rhode greeted them, and then he looked around. Rhode could feel that many people in the crowd around him were looking at them, with curiosity, excitement, strangeness and vigilance in these eyes. But this is normal. A small circle suddenly entered a few outsiders, and there were inevitably problems of this and that. For Rhode, he came here just to participate in the auction and did not intend to completely integrate into this circle, so he had no opinion on this. The two sides exchanged some greetings, and then walked towards the auction venue under the leadership of Natasha.

"I have already greeted my father. Today you can use our private room. Please rest assured, Mr. Rod, with us here, I believe what you want will not be stolen."

Natasha said with a friendly smile, a hint of pride in her expression. It can be seen that she is really proud of her family, and compared to before, the current girls are more independent in their words and actions. It seems that the previous training has indeed had a great impact on the girls—and it is developing in a positive direction. However...

At this moment, Rhodes suddenly felt the extremely cold and hostile gaze again. It came from the crowd and stared at him, but this gaze just flashed by Rhodes and soon disappeared into the crowd again.

"What's wrong? Mr. Rhode?"

Natasha couldn't help asking curiously when she noticed Rhodes stopping, while Rhodes looked around, then exchanged a look with Qilian, and then shook his head.

"No, it's nothing, let's go."

Then, Rhode raised his head and walked into the auction venue.

The entire auction venue does not look very big, but not small. It is like a circular theater. In front of the stage, rows of seats are distributed in trapezoidal shapes. In those comfortable and open-minded areas, the luxuriously decorated private rooms are now full of people. The locations of these private rooms are located on the edge of the "stage", and from here you can clearly see the current situation and see it at a glance. Each private room is covered with brass stands and red velvet curtains, providing a quiet and comfortable space for guests.

As the lord of the Eagle City, the treatment is naturally good. The private room that Natasha led Rhode and others into not only had soft and comfortable sofas, but also cold and sweet wine, fruits, cakes and other foods. On the mahogany coffee table in front of them, there was also a list of items to be auctioned. Rhode soon found his goal on the list - the key to open the underground maze. What is even more ridiculous is that the introduction of this key on the list is a "magic decoration", which is no wonder. After all, although this key is a key, it cannot be seen at all like a key on the outside, but it is more like a stone puzzle, and it is not surprising that people mistakenly think it is a magic decoration.

Soon, everyone sat in scattered seats, and Rhodes were naturally sitting with Qilian and Anne. Natasha and Glendy were also sitting next to him, biting their ears in a low voice. It can be seen that they seemed very interested in this auction. Beside the two, an old man in a housekeeper uniform was standing quietly with his hands up. Obviously, he was here to serve everyone and offer them.

"You noticed it? Master?"

Just as Rhodes began to look through the list in his hand, Qi Lian quietly approached his ear and asked in a low voice. Faced with her inquiry, Rhodes nodded slightly.

"Of course, but let's just watch the changes and first look at the other person's origin."

Just as the two were talking, a crisp ringtone rang, and accompanied by the ringtone, the magic light that originally surrounded the theater suddenly became much dimmed. Soon, the theater, which was already a little noisy, gradually returned to its quietness. Whether it was the VIPs in the private room or the guests in the ordinary seats, they sat upright and focused on the stage in front of them.

Immediately afterwards, an auctioneer in a tuxedo walked onto the stage.
