When the auctioneer struck the hammer with a smile, the demon's contract ownership rights were also settled.
A new round of auctions also started in an orderly manner.
"Who is that gentleman?"
Lan Qi curiously asked the customer next to him who was chatting from time to time.
Now he was sure.
Almost all of them were taken away by the blond gentleman sitting in the VIP stand at a very high premium.
Whoever competes with him, he will give a price that makes people give up immediately.
Even the price increase will not be ink, it will only make the other party feel that a small price increase is embarrassing.
"The young master of Count Baptiste's family."
The wealthy businessman beside him and Lan Qi whispered,
"It is said that all the maids in his family are demons, and they love to participate in familiar demon competitions. They call themselves the Little Demon King of Posen."
The customer at the front seat and Lan Qi would chat from time to time before, but now they are getting more and more familiar with each other. If Lan Qi doesn't understand something, he usually asks the people around him.
"..."
Thalia frowned slightly on the side.
She felt strange.
How come Lan Qi's communication skills are so strong? In the blink of an eye, he was chatting with strangers again.
But what makes her a little unhappy now is the person in the VIP table above who is called the young master of Count Baptiste's family.
"Hmph, if you are a rare demon, you will have to take pictures no matter how much money you spend."
At the VIP table on the second floor, the blond noble man said with satisfaction to the secretary of the Petras Chamber of Commerce beside him.
His voice was not restrained.
It seems to be telling other new customers in the auction house who don't come often not to try to steal it from him.
Anyway, he will buy it in the end. If others raise his price, he doesn't mind raising the price for other things that others like.
Thalia watched the man's high-profile words and deeds silently, seeming a little unhappy.
This direct gaze was quickly noticed by the blond noble man.
He glanced at Lan Qi and the others for a while, their eyes piercing like ice picks.
Immediately, a trace of displeasure flashed in the blond young earl's eyes, as if he was dissatisfied with Thalia's eyes.
"Hmph, this gray-haired village girl is pretty good-looking, but she has a bad face."
The corners of the blond young earl's mouth drooped slightly, turning into a cold arc, and at the same time he let out a contemptuous snort.
His eyes swept over Talia and Lanci, as if he was looking at two cheap products, full of disdain.
The young earl pointed to the auction house clerk next to him and motioned for him to come over.
"Bring me your catalog. I'll buy everything I'm interested in at one price."
He said something calmly.
Some items at Petras Auction have a buy-it-now option.
Under normal circumstances, the fixed price of Petras Auction House will be much higher than the regular transaction price, and few customers are willing to buy it at the fixed price.
But the domineering tone in the blond young earl's words was just like the aristocratic temperament in him, and there was no need to question it.
Obviously, he wanted to show his wealth and absolute disparity in front of Lanci and Talia, and he also wanted to deprive them of the opportunity to participate in the auction.
It seemed that because of Thalia's look just now, he decided not to let Talia, a rude guy, be able to buy whatever he wanted today.
However, Thalia still frowned slightly and looked at the distant VIP seat of the blond nobleman without speaking.
"Tata, forget it."
Lan Qi spoke softly, as if he wanted to resolve Talia's unhappiness, and followed Talia's gaze and looked back from time to time.
"I am not angry."
Thalia stared at the Poisen nobleman who had too much money, knowing that he was not someone to be trifled with.
If we really want to fight for financial resources, I'm afraid I have to call Hyperion over, and this must be under the premise that Hyperion inherits the property of the Duke's Palace.
Moreover, in the auction house of this core city-state, there is almost no room for action. Even Loren can't use high-level spells at will. Once he enters a combat state in a town or has a high magic reaction, it will trigger an alarm and suppression reaction.
"A country bumpkin who has never seen the world..."
The blond young earl narrowed his left eye and opened his lips slightly, making it easy for people to read his meaning.
He seemed to find it interesting to provoke this gray-haired girl who seemed to be easily exploded at the slightest touch.
"..."
Thalia's eyes gradually became cold.
A hundred years ago, she would not have tolerated such provocation at all.
Lan Qi quickly grabbed her wrist.
He was afraid that Sister Tata would act faster than she could think.
As long as they display violent tendencies, they may be regarded as outlaws.
No matter how lively the entire auction venue is still going on.
Silence enveloped the space between the blond nobleman and Thalia, who were sitting far apart. Thalia seemed to have heard Ranchi's advice. Her eyes moved away from the blond nobleman's seat and turned to gaze at Ranchi's. face.
For the time being, Thalia slowly broke free of Lan Qi's wrist.
"Lan Qi, can you teach that guy a lesson?"
she finally spoke.
Although she didn't like asking Lan Qi to help her, and she didn't know whether Lan Qi would be willing to help her, she did feel that her heart was filled with panic.
There is no way for me to deal with high-ranking officials and nobles in an unfamiliar place without violating the laws.
The more times like this, the more difficult it is to fight with others in a situation full of rules and regulations.
"...Of course not, we can't violate laws and regulations."
Lan Qi looked at her and answered seriously.
"understood."
Thalia said.
There was no disappointment in her tone either.
The relationship between her and Lan Qi was like this. She didn't expect Lan Qi to treat her like he cared for Hyperion, and she was not the kind of little girl who would feel grievances.
Originally, this guy liked to provoke himself the most. When he saw others provoking her, he probably didn't have much in mind.
However, she saw Ranchi raise his hand and motion to the staff in the aisle to come over.
"Hello, I have a super rare contracted creature here. Can I add it to the production line?"
Lan Qi asked the auction house staff who came over.
"Well, according to the regulations of our auction house, disrupting the queue is not allowed. Although there is precedent for this kind of situation, we must ensure that the contract is very precious before we can make an exception."
the staff explained.
No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think that this man had a particularly cherished contracted beast.
But in this case, he is not qualified to make a decision. He still has to take the other party to see the manager to determine whether the product can be added temporarily.
"I'm sorry, Boss Cat, we have to part ways temporarily, but in order to save the demons, I have no other choice."
Lan Qi helplessly held up the cat boss with both hands and said to him.
"Meow meow meow, no!!"
The cat boss screamed.
"Hey, Lan Qi, are you serious?"
Thalia held Lan Qi's shoulders.
Although she kind of understood that only by getting a huge amount of money could she compete with the blond noble and start a game.
But that’s not how the money comes.
Selling the cat boss is a bit much.
Lan Qi could only shake his head helplessly.
……
Twenty minutes later.
Boss Cat and Lan Qi had already left the auction venue for a while.
Thalia was still sitting in her original seat, silently looking at the stage.
"I have news for you, an unprecedented auction item has been inserted into the queue!"
Suddenly, the auctioneer received the news, and with a mysterious smile on his face, he announced to everyone in the venue.
That is a super special rare race job contract.
He has never even seen it during his years as the chief auctioneer of Petras Auction House.
"Of course, the race determination has been completed!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of noise from the audience.
They didn't expect there would be any surprises in today's auction.
Often in this case, there are extremely rare treasures that exceed specifications, so the auctioneer temporarily adds goods and stirs up the atmosphere.
Next.
The curtain opens.
On the stage, the staff brought Lan Qi up.
