The night covered the sky softly, and a crystal silver moon hung high, casting a soft light on the original dark curtain.
The stars are like bright diamonds, shining on the curtain of the night.
The gorgeous carriage rolled over the blue brick road and entered the deep black royal city.
The dark and towering towers stand on the vast land, like a dense steel jungle.
The road was full of pedestrians wearing long swords, walking bustling through the road.
When the carriage bearing the Barlow family crest entered the city, the sound of wheels rolling over blue bricks attracted people's attention.
They gave way to both sides one after another, leaning slightly, as if paying the highest respect to the distinguished guests in the car in mid-air.
This time, there were significantly fewer guards around the carriage.
There were only twelve diplomatic envoys sitting around the carriage at the back, accompanied by a few knights on horseback and demihuman guards.
But this time, Aurelion traveled with only two followers.
The loyal maid Xiang Zilan and the knight Gwen who protect her safety.
Although Aurelion has always said that she does not need Teacher Gwen to travel with her, having Teacher Victor there is enough.
But those ministers strongly opposed this matter.
The princess is in a foreign country, and the protection must be sufficient.
After all, in the eyes of these ministers.
No matter how strong Victor is, he is only one person.
And Aurelion's safety is still not guaranteed.
So she could only take Gwen with her.
As for the Archduke Barlow.
This old man who has reached the top of the kingdom will naturally not come to participate in such social activities among nobles again.
At this time, many luxury carriages were parked in front of the grand auction house.
The nobles and wealthy people of the kingdom gathered here.
Although they had conflicts with each other, they were still polite and greeted each other, showing proper etiquette.
After that, they couldn't help but stop communicating.
Everyone's attention couldn't help but look at the two carriages that were surrounded by a group of knights.
The luxurious carriage at the front obviously attracted their attention more.
The carriage then stopped as Gwen pulled the reins.
She got off her horse and slowly opened the car door.
When everyone's attention was drawn to the group of newly arrived guests, Gwen stopped the carriage and slowly opened the door.
A figure wearing a jet black windbreaker walked out of the car.
Victor's expression was indifferent, but his indifference was not filled with chill.
He stepped on the ground, stood on the other side of the carriage, and stretched out a hand.
A white palm rested on Victor's palm.
Gwen bowed slightly and greeted this noble princess with great respect.
Her figure was elegant, and her dress shoes inlaid with white jewels seemed to be stepping on stars as she slowly emerged from the carriage.
Wearing a pure white dress, she is like the bright moonlight falling from the night sky into the mortal world, extremely noble.
Twelve diplomatic envoys also got out of the carriage and came behind Aurelion.
The moment Aurelion stepped onto the ground, King Augustus had been waiting for a long time.
He led the lords behind him to greet him enthusiastically.
"We meet again, Your Majesty."
The twelve envoys greeted August friendlyly.
The king nodded slightly, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Aurelion next to Gwen and Victor, and he walked slowly towards her.
Upon seeing this, the diplomatic envoys naturally blended into the crowd behind August and mixed in with the array of nobles from the Kingdom of Canter.
Seeing Victor and Gwen, August first respectfully said to Victor:
"Congressman Clevenna."
Hilda followed August like a shadow, like a loyal guard.
Standing next to the king, she also smiled and nodded slightly to Gwen next to Victor.
Gwen, on the other hand, remained aloof and responded politely.
Victor nodded restrainedly, the depth in his eyes not showing.
Victor was very familiar with this place.
The Cassidra Auction is a grand auction held by the world-famous Cassidra Chamber of Commerce.
Yes, like the Mages Council, the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce is not a country, but it has the same international status as a country.
This powerful chaebol chamber of commerce has so much wealth that it can rival the entire country.
Every year, the Casidra Chamber of Commerce collaborates with countries with which it collaborates to launch an annual auction on their national territory.
However, this does not include the Empire.
For unknown reasons, the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce has never cooperated with the Empire since its establishment.
Then, August turned his eyes to Aurelion.
But in fact, his eyes were attracted by the cat lady maid behind Aurelion.
He was obviously attracted by the image of Vanilla. He looked up and down at the little kitten and seemed a little surprised.
But soon, he withdrew his gaze, looked at Aurelion again, and said with a smile:
"Your Highness, I think there will be treasures you like in today's auction."
Aurelion responded with an elegant smile:
"Then Your Majesty, I will wait and see."
August turned slightly sideways, stretched out his hand towards the gorgeous auction hall, and invited politely.
Aurelion stopped being polite and walked into the candlelit hall with Victor, Vanilla and Gwen on both sides of her.
The entire hall is as luxurious as a golden palace, with huge pillars supporting a majestic dome.
The golden chandeliers on both sides emitted bright candlelight, making the entire hall as bright as day.
A wide red curtain wrapped the entire auction hall, blocking the bright moon.
There are many nobles and rich people sitting in various boxes.
They sat in their respective positions, holding a small wooden sign in their hands.
Aurelion and others were led to the second floor.
Soon, they came to a spacious box.
Looking through the window, one can see all the noble lords sitting in the hall, even the corners.
Everyone slowly took their seats.
Auguste sat in a room with them, and behind him stood Hilda.
Gwen and Vanilla also stood respectfully on both sides of Aurelion like guards.
At this time, August turned to look at Aurelion and introduced:
"Your Highness, in today's auction, there are rare and high-level magic materials like the 'Happy Soul Spirit'."
"It is said that even the 'Gaia's Thin Steel', which can be used to create the hardest equipment in the world, will be featured in this auction."
"Ah, and you may be interested in the 'Mahazak's Tail Spike', which is an excellent material for making a staff."
The king spoke to Aurelion with enthusiasm.
Having said this, he glanced at Victor and Gwen again, and then gestured to Hilda behind him.
Hilda understood and quickly handed the king a detailed list of auction items.
After August briefly read it, he handed it to Victor:
"Congressman Craven, if there is anything you like, please let me know."
Victor took it politely, looking past the list.
And when he saw the last auction item on the list, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Well, there are indeed some good things."
"Really, then you have to keep an eye on it."
August smiled politely at Victor.
Accompanied by the fair-skinned and beautiful auctioneer, wearing a gorgeous dress, walked through the red curtain and stepped onto the stage.
The surrounding candles were swaying, accompanied by the cheers of the crowd, which seemed to heat up the atmosphere of the scene.
Every step she took was full of elegance and confidence, and she bowed lightly to show respect to the noble lords and the distinguished guests in the box.
"Everyone, the auction starts now!"
The red curtains slowly opened to both sides, and a thin high platform gradually rose from the stage.
Following her announcement, the red curtain slowly opened, revealing a gorgeous high platform.
The golden light on it suddenly illuminated the entire auction hall.
"The first item is the wheat of the Goddess of Fertility! The starting price is one million euros, with each increase starting from fifty thousand!"
After the auctioneer announced the rules, many nobles rushed to raise the wooden signs in their hands.
The noble lords of the kingdom have long been familiar with the wheat ears of the goddess of fertility.
Infused with the divine power of the followers of the Goddess of Fertility, these ordinary ears of wheat possess the power of God to ensure a bumper harvest for the entire year.
Naturally, there is no reason why the Cassidla Chamber of Commerce should not sell this sacred object.
But Victor just glanced at it casually and then withdrew his gaze.
This thing is indeed genuine.
It possesses the harvest power of the Fertility Goddess.
However.
Victor already has a real god thing, so naturally he won't be interested in it.
But these noble lords were almost going crazy, and no one was willing to be outdone.
After all, everyone has land in their territory and needs to feed the people in their territory.
If this magical thing that can guarantee production is used properly, it can directly ensure that the people in the territory have enough food and clothing for a year!
So this good divine item was finally sold to 5 million euros.
He was taken away by a powerful marquis.
However, under the enthusiasm of selling at such a high price at the beginning.
The enthusiasm of many rich people and lords was almost completely ignited.
After that, various auction items were put up for auction under the eloquent introduction of the host.
Everyone is staring at the products on the stage, impatiently, for fear that the items they like will fall into the hands of others.
Until a piece of shining silver steel appeared, countless warrior lords present went crazy.
Gaia's Slim Gang, the legendary hardest steel!
Every warrior hopes to have an indestructible armor and weapon.
And this item can obviously satisfy all the lords present.
They are gearing up and want to compete.
At this time, Victor glanced at the silver-white steel and raised his eyebrows:
"Gaia's Thin Steel."
He turned back and glanced at Gwen.
"Do you like this thing?"
