Chapter 66: Encounter
After entertaining some of the leading minds of the United Guilds and ministers of the kingdom, the long-awaited quarterly auction finally began. For these few days, the entire castle was in a state of great excitement. The Castle Guard increased its patrols, with squads passing by almost every interval on the main streets to prevent any accidents at this critical moment.
As for the auction, Huayun wasn't particularly interested. Lokuen had come to invite Huayun several times, but after going once, he never went again. On the other hand, Rody was extremely enthusiastic and took the Basi brothers on a wild goose chase every day.
Originally, if it were an ordinary auction, Huayun might have gone to take a look and casually dig up some treasures. After all, when some people get some mysterious things that can't be identified in certain strange places, they usually take them to the auction house for sale. On the one hand, there are more people who know how to identify valuable items at the auction house, and on the other hand, the prices offered by buyers are also a bit higher.
However, at a large-scale auction like this, such situations will not occur. The items brought out are either rare on the Allen continent or have practical uses, and they won't bring out things that can't be identified for sale. Like the Dī Fēng Sword on Huā Yún's body, it was obtained by Luò Kūn at a quarterly auction in previous years. Although Huā Yún now has 3 million gold coins from those three divine fruits, she won't casually bid on things. Three million gold coins is not a small amount, but it's also not enough to be reckless with bidding.
Hua Yun received the news on the second day of the auction that his thirty fourth-grade superior divine fruit had been sold in groups of ten, with each group being called "Ten Braves" by the auction house. These ten attribute-less divine fruits, which could upgrade either warriors or mages, were sold at a price of 800,000 gold coins per group. Hua Yun's magic crystal card suddenly increased by 2 million. This was the benefit of an auction; if he had taken these ten divine fruits to a plant store, they would have been worth only 50,000 gold coins at most.
The auction will end in a few days, and through Rody, Andrew expressed his hope to see his master before leaving Colton. In fact, on that day, Little Seven followed Rody to the outside of the manor, and Andrew's business had already known that the master Rody was talking about should be the latest rising plant master in the Western Kingdom - Master Hua Yun. However, since Master Hua did not reveal his identity, Andrew's business would naturally not be foolish enough to expose it.
As for Andrew's request, Hua Yun didn't have any opinion on it. After all, Hua Yun and Anderson Trading Company were going to cooperate in the long run, so meeting each other was a good thing. Bringing along Rody and others, they didn't take a horse carriage, and the four of them walked towards the reception hall where Anderson Trading Company was located...
Luna and Aika were walking on the main street of Wangcheng, both of them had just come out of a magic tool shop with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Although Ai Jia was born in the house of Finance Minister Marquis Xilazhi, she has been very independent since childhood and likes to take charge of things herself. Moreover, Xilazhi is extremely fond of this daughter, so he usually lets her have her way.
Aira is about to become a 4th-level water-elemental magician, and at the age of less than twenty, she has reached the realm of a 4th-level water-elemental magician. Although not comparable to Luna, she can also be considered a magical genius.
In order to pick a better wand for herself, she had pulled out her good friend Luna from the academy early on and came to the most famous magic tool street in King's City to select one. In fact, with Aika's identity, as long as she put out the word, she would receive countless exquisite wands sent by various nobles of King's City within a day, but she just liked the fun of selecting alone.
"Oh my, isn't this Aijia and Lüna? I actually ran into you guys on the street, it seems we really do have a good fate!"
Just as Aika and Lina were walking down the street, a voice suddenly came from beside them, with an extremely frivolous tone.
Upon hearing the voice, Aika and Luluna couldn't help but furrow their brows at the same time, turning around to see that Kavuto, the son of the Minister of Agriculture of the kingdom, was staring at them with a lewd expression on his face. Beside him were several sons of other ministers, led by Leibnitz, the fourth prince of the Western Kingdom.
"Hehe, Aika, Luna, how come you two are out shopping together today?" Seeing the new staff in Aika's hand, Leiborus smiled and said: "Aika, I heard that you're about to become a 4th-level water-element mage, congratulations!"
"Ai Jia thanks the Fourth Prince!" Ai Jia could have completely ignored Kaff's account, but in front of the Fourth Prince, no matter how much she despised him in her heart, she still had to show due respect: "Is there anything else, Your Highness? I and Luluna have things to do, so we'll take our leave first!"
Lebus smiled and said, "Hehe, no rush, Luna. I heard you're still using a 4th-level magic wand. Today's a good opportunity, why don't I help you pick out a 5th-level one? With your strength as a 5th-level great magician, using a 4th-level wand must be very inconvenient!"
"No, thank you, Your Highness, the fourth prince. I like this four-stage magic wand given by Yun very much, no need to change!" Luna tightened her grip on the four-stage magic wand given by Yun and refused without hesitation.
"Haha!" After hearing Luna's words, Leibus didn't get angry either, and continued: "Luna, tonight my father the king is hosting a banquet in the palace for the joint merchant group from the Empire of Audere, there will be activities later, I hope you can attend!" After finishing speaking, Leibus gazed at Luna with burning eyes.
"Tonight I still have something on, I'm really sorry, I won't be able to accept your invitation, Aijia, let's go!" Lona felt very uncomfortable about the current situation.
"Hmph, the Fourth Prince invited you just to give you face, and yet you really think you're something!" On the side, Kavert couldn't help but flatter Leiboltz.
"Hey, Kraft, don't say that. Maybe Luna really does have something going on and we shouldn't be too hard on her!" Leiprecht rebuked Kraft with feigned seriousness.
"Indeed, Your Highness the Fourth Prince is kind-hearted. I just can't stand it, that's all. Luna, do you know? Many people have been pursuing the Fourth Prince, but he doesn't pay attention to them. Why don't you seize this opportunity properly? Luna, stop deceiving yourself! In fact, you like the Fourth Prince!" Kavuto said with a thick face.
As Leibniz and Kaft, it was extremely easy for them to get a girl, and many people who wanted to curry favor with them also threw themselves at their feet. They had never chased after anyone before, so they didn't know that saying these words would make Luna even more disgusted with them, and even Aika felt quite nauseous!
"Huh, isn't that Luna? What is she doing in Wang City?" Just as Hua Yun was passing by here, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of him. He found that the person seemed to be Luna and couldn't help but pause for a moment, then headed in her direction!
