His son is so outstanding, what father would not be happy?
more importantly……
He was away all year round, and the memories of his two sons were blurred.
Many times he even forgets that we have two sons.
A letter from the emperor suddenly reminded him of this incident.
Thinking about it from another perspective, isn't it like he picked up the sons of two titled Douluo for nothing?
Double the joy!
"Your Excellency, the Duke is extremely talented, and his son is so outstanding. He is really a father with no son, and his subordinates are envious of him!"
A warrior in armor raised his glass from a distance, and then drank the wine in one gulp.
"Hahaha, all the brothers and I are brothers, and my son is everyone's heir. They are all the same, all the same..."
Dai Hao raised his glasses to drink.
His heart was filled with joy.
"Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin, two young masters, I would like to call them the twin stars of the Duke's Palace. They will continue to inherit your glory, Lord Duke, in the future."
"A double Douluo, no, including adults, a three Douluo, even His Majesty the Emperor will respect you three points... No, three points are less, why should I get five points?"
"That is, my lord has been guarding the border for so many years. How much prestige does he have in the army? If there is strong support from strong men, hum..."
"..."
When everyone says something to me, it is inevitable that they will say something treasonous and unethical.
"Brothers, it is wrong to talk too much."
"Let's just drink today and not talk about national affairs."
"I will get up early tomorrow morning and return to Xingluo City. I will have to rely on you brothers for military matters."
Dai Hao raised his glass, interrupting everyone's desire to suppress the topic.
But there is an extra seed in his heart...
the other side.
Star Luo City.
"Uncle Master, where are you going?"
Qin Xiao had just walked out of the hotel door when she was stopped by Meng Hongchen.
"The hotel is too boring. I plan to go out for a walk. It's my first time in Star Luo City and I'm very curious."
Qin Xiao answered casually.
In fact, he wanted to go to the auction house in the Star Luo Empire.
In the original work, Huo Yuhao obtained the soul-eating carving knife in this auction house.
Then, with the help of Electrolux, the living gold in the carving knife was extracted. After refining, a third eye appeared between the eyebrows, which opened Electrolux's ability.
Finally, this creature's eye evolved into a super artifact!
It has to be said that Qin Xiao has been thinking about this matter for a long time. Now that he came to Xingluo City, the first thing he wanted to do was try his luck.
Although it is said that in the original work, the Soul-Eating Carving Knife was discovered by chance after Wang Yan led Shrek and others to the auction house after the competition started.
However, normally, Qin Xiao feels that this carving knife should be in the auction house now.
After all, according to rumors, this knife is not a good thing.
The master who held it was either dead or became an evil soul master.
It is very evil and many people avoid it.
Moreover, the asking price of this knife in the auction house is not low. If it weren't for Electrolux's sharp eyesight, the auction would have been rejected again.
On the other hand, after listening to Qin Xiao's words, Meng Hongchen nodded in agreement, "Uncle, what you said is absolutely right. It's really worth visiting Xingluo City after a long time. I also want to see it." , which one is more prosperous, Xingluo City, or Mingdu."
When Qin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but take a deep look at Meng Hongchen.
He is no longer a child.
Could he not know what Meng Hongchen was thinking?
However, he did not expose or reject Meng Hongchen's proposal, "Okay, then we will be together."
After saying that, he spent a Gintama coin in front of the hotel to buy a map, and easily found the location of the auction house on the map.
Then, he walked in front, followed closely by Meng Hongchen, and gradually disappeared.
"Where are these two guys going?"
"It's true that no one can keep a good girl. He is alone and has only one daughter. Isn't Meng afraid that Qin Xiao will do something outrageous to him?"
After the two left, Xiao Hongchen quietly walked out of the hotel.
He slowly frowned as he looked at the retreating figures of Qin Xiao and Meng Hongchen.
After hesitating again and again, he decided to follow up and see what was going on.
No matter what, you can't let your sister get hurt.
"Uncle Master, why don't you leave?"
After a long time, Qin Xiao stopped in front of a building.
Meng Hongchen also stopped and followed Qin Xiao's gaze.
I saw that it was a less conspicuous building.
Compared with the tall buildings around it, it looks like a conspicuous package.
Above the main entrance, there is a sign with a hammer on it. There seems to be a golden countertop pattern under the hammer, which looks very delicate.
Meng Hongchen was an upright aristocratic lady. Although she was young, she was well-informed. She could tell right away that this was an auction house.
After all, the only two types of places that use hammers as marks are auction houses and blacksmith shops. But the hammers from the blacksmith's shop have rougher markings and are much larger, while the hammers from the auction house are very delicate.
Say it again.
What is this place?
The core of Star Luo Imperial City.
What level of blacksmith can open a blacksmith shop here?
"Let's go, I happen to be passing by here, let's go in and take a look."
At this time, Qin Xiao smiled at Meng Hongchen and said.
"Is it really just 'just right'?"
Meng Hongchen couldn't help but mutter, "How do I feel that you just came here?"
She had suspected before that something was wrong with Qin Xiao.
After all, Qin Xiao never stopped walking along the way. It didn't look like he was just wandering around, but like he was heading straight to his destination.
"Haha, is it so obvious?"
After being exposed, Qin Xiao didn't feel embarrassed, but laughed.
Meng Hongchen nodded like a rattle.
"Well, now that I've been guessed, I won't pretend anymore. To be honest, I did come here."
Meng Hongchen asked puzzledly, "Is there anything good here that makes you miss me, uncle?"
"Not really, I just want to see if there is a suitable carving knife and buy one. The one I am using now is a bit awkward."
"Oh, that's it." Meng Hongchen nodded, "Then let's go in now."
With that said, she pulled Qin Xiao and was about to enter the auction house.
The soul master does not have a carving knife, just like there is no Jerusalem in the West. How can this be done?
However, what she didn't know was that the carving knife Qin Xiao wanted was not for use, but for refining.
After the two left, Xiao Hongchen's figure also came outside the auction house.
"So you're here?"
"If nothing else, are you planning to buy something for my sister?"
"Huh, I can make my sister happy, but what's wrong with my sister?"
Xiao Hongchen smiled coldly and went back to the hotel first.
Judging from the appearance, the auction house is not big.
In fact, there is something different.
Walking into the auction house, a red carpet leads people directly to the underground.
"Two distinguished guests. How can I help you?"
After walking for more than twenty meters, they arrived at the registration place. A welcoming woman in a red dress looked at Qin Xiao and Meng Hongchen with a smile and said.
"We want to buy a carving knife, do you have one here?"
Meng Hongchen asked the woman directly.
"burin?"
The woman was stunned for a moment and quickly replied, "Of course, but the carving knives are extremely precious items. Also, do you two have proof of identity?"
What she meant was simple.
Not everyone can afford precious items.
And if you want to enter the auction house, you must have enough strength.
personal I.D? Qin Xiao smiled slightly.
He remembered that it was indeed mentioned in the original work.
To enter this auction house, you need proof of assets and an appraisal. If you go through normal channels, it will take at least half a month of review before you can enter here.
only
The purpose of this condition is just to filter out the difference between civilians and nobles.
When Qin Xiao took out a black card with a one at the beginning and zeroes behind it, the woman's expression changed instantly.
"A black card with a denomination of one million."
The woman's pupils suddenly shrank, and her heart was shaken.
When Qin Xiao took out a black card with a denomination of one million, she really didn't know how to deal with it.
Although this card is not proof of identity, it is more useful than proof of identity.
With one million gold soul coins in his pocket, he is definitely considered a high-quality customer.
"Now, can we enter?"
Qin Xiao asked with a smile.
He didn't have many black cards like this, maybe about a dozen.
Before traveling, Jing Hongchen personally handed it to Qin Xiao.
It is worth mentioning that the money was not a dirty deal by Jing Hongchen to win over Qin Xiao, but came from formal channels.
It was a reward for Qin Xiao providing several powerful soul tools to the Sun and Moon Empire.
"Yes, of course."
The female greeter nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Such a wealthy person cannot enter the auction house, so there will probably be few people in the auction house.
As for the rules
Haha, screw the rules.
Money can make you understand.
"Dear sir, beautiful lady, please come with me."
The female greeter said, making an invitation gesture, and then led Qin Xiao and the others.
Qin Xiao even felt that this woman seemed to have deliberately taken longer steps, and her plump body almost burst the tight-fitting red skirt.
Go through the quaint wooden door.
Qin Xiao felt that his eyes suddenly became brighter.
In sight, a wide corridor was splendid and magnificent, and its decoration was even more luxurious than the Star Emperor Hotel where they lived.
Walking on the ground paved with white jade, Meng Hongchen couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "This place is just inferior to the auction house in Mingdu."
After a while, Qin Xiao and Meng Hongchen passed by the halls with signboards.
At this time, the female greeter explained enthusiastically, "Two distinguished guests, this is the auction hall.
It's just that the carving knife that the two distinguished guests want, I'm not sure whether it will be auctioned again today. Please follow me to the VIP room and wait for a while. I will check it with the two distinguished guests first. "
Qin Xiao nodded, "That makes sense."
As for Meng Hongchen being Qin Xiao's little follower, of course there is nothing to say.
The female greeter left after arranging Qin Xiao and Meng Hongchen in the luxurious VIP reception room.
Not long after.
There was a knock on the door, and after receiving Qin Xiao's permission, a woman wearing a purple dress came in.
She looked about thirty years old, with a dignified and beautiful appearance, and a faint smile on her face. As she walked, she looked slim and graceful, and her well-tailored long skirt perfectly outlined her mature body curves. .
"Good evening, both distinguished guests. I am Qingya, a purple-level auctioneer from Starlight Auction House. It happens that there is no auction hosted by me tonight, so I will receive the two distinguished guests."
The woman introduced herself gracefully.
Meng Hongchen looked at the woman and then at himself.
Suddenly I felt that my sisters were not living up to expectations.
Qin Xiao smiled slightly, "I believe your people have told you our purpose of coming, right?
Then let’s stop chatting and show your sincerity. "
Hearing this, Qing Ya's eyes flashed with surprise.
She didn't expect that the young man in front of her could do things so neatly.
But, after thinking about it, she felt relieved again.
Can a person with a black card worth one million gold soul coins be an ordinary person?
Even teenagers must take it seriously.
“I checked the catalog of today’s auction items and found no carving knives for sale.
However, after learning about your needs, I applied to the supervisor and brought a few carving knives, which I can sell to you at the starting price.
You can see it? "
Qingya asked.
She didn't rush to take out the carving knife, she just put the conditions first.
In this way, unnecessary trouble can also be reduced.
To this.
Qin Xiao had no objection.
"Okay, I'll take a look at what kind of knives they are and then decide whether to buy them or not."
Qingya smiled slightly and took out a wooden box from the space soul guide.
After opening it, there was a black carving knife.
Qin Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he could see that the sword was indeed good.
It's worth at least tens of thousands of gold soul coins.
pity.
This is not what he wants.
"Don't worry, distinguished guest, I have other preparations."
Qingya has been paying attention to Qin Xiao's expression changes.
However.
But instead of seeing satisfaction on Qin Xiao's face, she saw disappointment. She immediately realized that this customer was not so easy to satisfy.
She quickly took out another carving knife from the space soul guide.
The whole body was silver, with a cold light shining on the edge.
"Distinguished guest, this carving knife is of high quality. It was made by a master and is extremely close to being on the list of carving knives. If you use it to make a soul guide, you will get twice the result with half the effort."
This time, Qingya did not forget to introduce a few words.
"It's better than before. It's still not what I want."
Qin Xiao said lightly.
Isn't this enough? Qingya was startled.
but.
It doesn't matter, she is still prepared.
However.
At this moment, Qin Xiao said calmly: "If they were all of this quality, there would be no need to take them out, so as not to waste each other's time."
After saying that, he stood up from his actions.
It looked like I was disappointed and wanted to leave.
Meng Hongchen even said disdainfully, "How can this be the number one auction house in Star Luo City? I can't see it."
If he were in the auction house in Mingdu, he would have taken out the list engraving knife.
"Two distinguished guests, please be patient."
Qingya pursed her lips slightly and said quickly: "We also have a higher quality carving knife in the auction, ranking ninety-ninth on the list of carving knives!"
