Chapter 250 Drodedic Next

At night, Wangdu Dongcheng.

As night fell, the street lights on the street were lit in turn, and the crystals in the crystal lampshade emitted a soft and bright light, sprinkling the glow evenly to the ground.

The refreshing evening breeze blew by, blowing the wisteria on the metal fence outside the villa next to it. The faint fragrance of flowers overflowed with the wind, and the laughter spread far into the deep corner through the glass window.

This large white villa with a circular garden is the residence of Count Magnus, and a dinner party of royal celebrities is being held in the magnificent villa hall.

For nobles, it is as natural to eat and breathe at banquets. Gatherings are indispensable in their lives, and countless transactions and conspiracies are often completed in a party.

The number of guests attending the party and the status of the guests fully reflect the strength and connections of the host.

Magnus. Fox has the title of count. In the royal capital Ugru, there are countless nobles like him who have noble titles without actual territory. Viscounts are everywhere, and they are not big people at all.

But he can easily invite many powerful dignitaries and nobles to his home, including many of the existence of elders.

This is because he has another identity - the first deacon of the Ugru General Chamber of Commerce.

"The background of the Ugru General Chamber of Commerce is relatively complex. The royal family, the temple, the military and the mercenary trade union all have interest representatives in it, Magnus. Count Fox is the front desk figure they jointly launched, and there is absolutely no problem with credibility..."

In the corner of the lounge area on the side of the hall, Corinne whispered to Leon, "If you need to buy any supplies in the future, you can help through him."

During the day, after having lunch in the noble restaurant at noon, the two went to the street for a walk in the afternoon.

In a ready-to-wear shop, Corinne bought a purple dress and evening dress, repackaged Leon from head to to toe, and then attended the dinner of Count Magnus's.

This is the first time that she has publicly appeared in the upper-class social circle with her male companion. Corinna obviously intends to let others know and accept Leon's existence, and also uses her connections to help Leon.

For example, although Magnus, the host of the banquet, is just a small count, the identity of the head of the Ugru General Chamber of Commerce is enough to make him the focus of attention of many people.

And his mansion is large and luxurious enough. The hall on the first floor can easily accommodate hundreds of people, and there are also small restaurants, dance floors and lounge areas on both sides.

On the small stage next to the stairs, a team of musicians played elegant and beautiful music, driving the atmosphere of the dinner party.

It is naturally good for Leon to get to know such a person. In the future, the expansion and development of Salling will inevitably deal with this huge chamber of commerce with an unfathomable background.

At the beginning, Corinne was a little worried that Leon would not adapt to this kind of social occasion, but it turned out that Leon had no problem with socializing in the upper class, and her speech and behavior were no worse than those regulars at the party.

This surprised many people. Some of them have more or less heard of Leon's name, especially because of Corinne's relationship, all kinds of things about Leon are circulating in small circles.

In the eyes of these people, Leon is just a little lord who climbed up from a remote place. I don't know what means he used to win the favor of Corinna. Even if he performs on the polar battlefield, he is still essentially just an upstart.

So they all went to see Corinna's male partner with a joke mentality, and they were a little psychologically prepared to embarrass Leon.

But Leon's performance is impeccable, tall and polite. No matter who he faces, he is neither arrogant nor humble, polite, and his body is full of aristocratic demeanor.

Corin was also very surprised by Leon's performance. She found that the longer she spent with Leon, the more she felt that she didn't know much about him.

There seems to be a mysterious atmosphere in Leon, which makes people involuntarily want to dig out the hidden secrets in it.

Conena didn't know that Leon founded a business group from nothing in his original world. She didn't know how many dignitaries and rich people she had handled, and she was very good at socializing.

The way of communication of the Bemon aristocracy is still learned from the human race. In Leon's view, such a party can only be said to be ordinary, and it is absolutely a joke to make him difficult.

In addition, Leon also has a heavy social weapon, which is the best cigar from Sal's collar.

As a unique specialty of Salling, cigars were introduced to Ugru very early and quickly became popular in the aristocratic circle, but due to the small number, only a few nobles can often enjoy it.

The thick hand-rolled cigar is packed in an exquisite sterling silver cigarette box. The emblem of the sal collar on the box is shining, and the hand-carved word "special grade" clearly shows its preciousness.

Such a super cigar is not available on the market at all. Leon took it out as a small gift to meet and quickly won the favor and recognition of many people.

Although these good impressions and recognition have no effect on Leon, because his focus has always been in the southwest province, which is too far away from Uglu.

But there is no harm in knowing these powerful people, and he is still with Corinne.

Of course, not everyone has a good impression of Leon's performance. In this banquet, many young knights and nobles are Corinna's admirers. It's good that they can resist their jealousy and anger when they see the goddess in their hearts and Leon snuggle together intimately.

And Leon didn't want to be in the limelight at the party for the first time, so he felt that the heat was almost the same, so he hid in the corner to rest with Corinne, while avoiding those jealous eyes.

The dinner did not last long. The well-trained attendants quickly removed the table and drinks and placed rows of soft chairs in the hall, turning the hall into a pattern similar to the conference hall.

Leon was refreshed, and the real drama in the evening was finally coming.

At night, so many royal celebrities and noble knights gathered here, not just to chat and dance.

If it is just the identity of the Count of Magnus, it will not have such a great appeal. What really attracts these dignitaries is the small auction held in his mansion every month.

The Earl of Magnus is in charge of the Ugru General Chamber of Commerce. The resources he can control are naturally huge. The Chamber of Commerce itself regularly holds large-scale auctions and even controls some black market transactions.

But the auction house in the count's own house is very different. It only serves a specific group of people. It is impossible to step through this threshold without an invitation, which distinguishes it from an ordinary auction.

The auction items at night are all carefully selected high-quality products. After the special appraisal of the Chamber of Commerce, it is guaranteed to be worth the money, and all the auction items are all innocent and can be checked. It will not be a problem to display them in front of people.

Half of the profits from the simultaneous auction will be used for charitable relief, which is also one of the reasons why it is attracting attention.

Most of the nobles hope that they can have a good reputation, even on the surface is a kind of glory, so the private night auction of Count Magnus is very famous in the royal aristocratic circle and has been popular for many years.

Originally, as Leon, he was not qualified to participate. He was qualified for an auction. Of course, it was Corinna's face.

Originally, Leon was not very interested in such an auction house, but Corinna told him that the auction was not only limited to the luxury goods used by the nobles, but also some magic weapons, magic ornaments and even inheritance soul cores, many of which came from the secret land of the Holy Land.

That's why Leon is interested. Even if his financial resources are limited, he can only look on the sidelines. It is necessary to learn about it.

The musician's small stage next to the stairs of the hall turned into an auction table. The guests sat down one after another according to their respective numbers, and Count Magnus walked up to the auction table.

This middle-aged aristocrat has the shrewdness and cunning of more than half of the fox. His reputation for being good at management has even spread to the human nation. Under his control, the Ugru General Chamber of Commerce has developed more and more in recent years, monopolizing a large part of the material trade.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the night auction tonight. I think you should be very familiar with me, so I won't introduce myself. Let's send you the first lot first!"

It's a simple and straightforward opening, but it's very appropriate. Everyone is not here to listen to him talk nonsense.

A beautiful maid came to the stage with a silver plate in her hand. Count Magnus introduced: "Our first auction is an ancient water magic crystal from the ruins of the Holy Land. Its grade is five levels, and the starting price is 100,000 gold coins."

This magic crystal is the size of an egg. Many edges have been polished on the silver-white surface, reflecting a bright crystal light under the light. The most special thing is that there is a faint white fog around it, which adds a little mystery to it.

The magic crystal of the water system is often used in jewelry production, because it often has the effect of beautifying and moisturizing the skin, so it is very popular with ladies.

Count Magnus's action was really extraordinary. As soon as he came up, it was the starting price of 100,000 gold coins of the five-level holy land magic crystal. Many ladies straightened up and stared at the lot on the stage with bright eyes.

"110,000 gold coins!"

"120,000 gold coins!"

... The price rose rapidly. For these rich aristocrats, money is just a number. Hundreds of years of inheritance make them have huge wealth that others can't imagine, which can easily spend the gold coins that ordinary people can't save in their lives.

This made Leon clearly see the other side of the Kingdom of Bemon.
