Setting sun in the western sky. 夕阳西下。 When the night falls, beginning decorated lantern on, the wind on prairie sweeps across the earth is bringing the first wisp of dim light of night, the Eagle City sparkle auction soon will also start. Had defined as one strictly population scale with status auction, Eagle City sparkle auction natural is also having a gloomy color, resembles the world to have the division of dark night to be daytime same, the sparkle auction is also having black and white both sides, here anything can buy, anything can sell. However here appears mostly when each Mercenary Group or guild risk seeks for the treasure that from ruins, the equipment, magic item. Also or some precious rare gems, raw material or magic plant anything, even occasionally also will have the population to buy and sell ——— this business to belong to the extreme to be secret, only if the customer of trust, otherwise the auction will not open this leaf of front door for it. 当夜幕降临,华灯初上,草原上的风席卷着大地带来第一缕夜色时,雄鹰之城的闪耀拍卖会也即将开始。作为一个严格限定了人数规模和身份的拍卖会,雄鹰之城的闪耀拍卖会理所当然的也带着一丝晦暗的色彩,就好像世界有白天黑夜之分一样,闪耀拍卖会也拥有着黑白两面,在这里什么都能够买,什么都能够卖。不过这里出现的大多还是各个佣兵团或者公会冒险时从废墟中所寻找到的宝物,装备,魔法道具。又或者一些珍贵罕见的宝石,原材料或者魔法植物什么的,甚至偶尔也会有人口买卖———不过这种买卖就属于极端机密,除非是非常信任的顾客,否则拍卖会是不会为其打开这扇大门的。 The holding place of sparkle auction in the Eagle City east downtown area, is very far with the Battle Angel station distance, it seems like that the organizer also knows, although Battle Angel is not careful the inquiry regarding this type of not black not white thing, but do not attain under others eyelid to stimulate her specially. Otherwise which day had Battle Angel unable to tolerate here by some chance has had it all, you cried not to have the place to cry. 闪耀拍卖会的举行地点是在雄鹰之城东面的闹市区,与战天使驻地距离很远,看来举办者也知道,虽然战天使对于这种不黑不白的东西不怎么上心过问,但是你也不要专门拿到别人眼皮子底下去刺激她。否则万一哪天有战天使看不过眼把这里一锅端了,你连哭都没有地方哭去。 Although goes home at this moment, all around is exceptionally lively flustered, however in bidding block peripheral is actually quite peaceful, complexion is serious, the fully-armed guard early has closed off the peripheral path, to participating in the people of auction provides a steadiness, peaceful and secure environment. At this time, many Noble celebrities have taken the carriage to arrive at the bidding block, their splendid attire appearance, talked and laughed merrily. After all because of the rule of sparkle auction, can enter this conference site mostly is the acquaintances, naturally, will often have such several strange faces to join, captures the attention of people. 虽然此刻正是回家的时候,四周异常热闹忙乱,但是在拍卖会场的周边却是相当安静,面色严肃,全副武装的守卫早已经封锁了周边的道路,为的就是给参加拍卖会的众人提供一个平稳,安静与安全的环境。这个时候,已经有不少贵族名流乘坐马车来到了拍卖会场,他们盛装打扮,谈笑风生。毕竟因为闪耀拍卖会的规则,能够进入这间会场的大多都是熟人,当然,不时也会有那么几个陌生的面孔加入,吸引众人的目光。 When Rhodes goes down the carriage, he feels all around the people quickly to the vision that oneself cast. 而在罗德走下马车的时候,他很快就感受到四周众人向自己投来的目光。 But in fact, when Rhodes group of people just made an appearance. Many Noble went to these youngster the vision, this not only because of their strange faces. Because of their exceptionally dazzling appearance. 而事实上,在罗德一行人刚刚露面的时候。不少贵族就已经将目光投向了这些年轻人,这不仅仅是因为他们陌生的面孔。更是因为他们那异常耀眼的容貌。 Walks wears the straight black formal clothes in forefront Rhodes, in the hand is grasping brown wooden staff, under the shoulder-length short hair, a pair of jet black eye pupil narrows the eyes slightly. Although on Rhodes puts on without a doubt is the male formal clothes. However so long as anybody sees his fine beautiful oval face, can can't help but takes for female it. Light ice-cold air/Qi that only then in that carries, was warning to the people he is dangerous. 走在最前面的罗德穿着笔挺的黑色礼服,手中握着一根棕色的木制手杖,齐肩的短发下,一双漆黑的眼眸微微眯起。虽然罗德身上所穿的毋庸置疑是男性礼服。但是任何人只要看见他那张精致美丽的瓜子脸,都会不由自主的将其误认为女性。只有那面上所携带的一股淡淡的冰冷之气,向众人警告着他有多么危险。 Beautiful ice sculpture that if the Rhodes probably together living person do not enter, then follows in his body side Vivian is more like the attractive cocktail, bright red reveal shoulder formal clothes ingenious outlined Vivian that beautiful attractive figure as well as that stands tall and erect the chest that originally grips the ponytail pink long hair also to scatter at this moment, threw over on the shoulder, brought I saw still pity attracting for Vivian. Fluffy big tail as well as that pair of furry ear, not only has not made people think that is scared and strange, instead makes people think lovable moving. So long as looks at her one eyes, immediately probably one glass of cocktails get into the stomach. Make people think the whole body to be fiery, has a parched mouth. 如果说罗德就好像一块生人勿进的美丽冰雕的话,那么跟随在他身侧的七恋则更像是诱人的鸡尾酒,鲜红色的露肩礼服巧妙的勾勒出了七恋那美丽诱人的身形以及那高耸的胸部,原本扎起马尾的粉红色长发此刻也已经散落开来,披在肩膀上,更是为七恋带来了一种我见犹怜般的魅惑。蓬松的大尾巴以及那一对毛绒绒的耳朵非但没有让人觉得恐慌和诡异,反而更让人觉得可爱动人。只要望她一眼,就立刻好像一杯鸡尾酒下肚般。让人觉得全身火热,口干舌燥。 In addition. Follows is also draws the attention of everyone in Rhodes another side Anne. 除此之外。跟随在罗德另外一侧的安妮也是让人眼前一亮。 She not wears the splendid attire like Rhodes and Vivian, on the contrary, the young girl still puts on her white leather armor, carries back that to be big and heavy fine gold heavy shield, does not look like any change. However actually also because of this, in many are in the crowd of splendid attire appearance, Anne this alternative actually probably wipes the different kind scenery, making the person widen one's horizon. In addition in young girl surface is always brimming with the youth smiling face, is very easy to let the person heart fresh favorable impression. 她并没有像罗德和七恋那样穿着盛装,相反,少女依然穿着她那身白色的皮甲,背后背着那又大又重的精金重盾,看起来没有任何变化。不过却也正因为如此,在多是盛装打扮的人群之中,安妮这个另类却好像是一抹别样的风景,让人打开眼界。再加上少女面上总是洋溢着青春的笑容,也很容易让人心生好感。 Naturally. Three people receive so pay attention and are not only because their appearance specially so is outstanding simple, in fact. Although many people and Rhodes are first meeting, but regarding them, this youngster has actually heard so much about you ——— this drags that Midsummer Festival luck, after that Midsummer Festival, Rhodes not only obtained the actual advantage, has made the profound impression in many Noble hearts, this not only because of his domineering, is makes many Noble see this youngster to be favored very much, in addition his life experience of unknown origin, is doubtable he has a quite formidable background. But after this Midsummer Festival, many people believes, perhaps takes time, rising forces will rise in this Dukedom. 当然。三人受到如此关注并不仅仅是因为他们容貌出众特别这么简单,事实上。虽然很多人与罗德是第一次见面,但是对于他们来说,这个年轻人却是久闻大名了———这都是拖那次仲夏祭的福,在那次仲夏祭之后,罗德不但得到了实际的好处,也在很多贵族心中留下了深刻的印象,这不仅仅是因为他的强势,更是让不少贵族看见这个年轻人很受宠,再加上他那来历不明的身世,更是让人怀疑他有一个相当强大的背景。而在这次仲夏祭之后,不少人都认为,恐怕假以时日,一个新兴势力又会在这个公国内崛起了。 Also because of this, many Noble see Rhodes and the others to come to attend the auction at present, has not felt too surprised, on the contrary, many of them are thinking must tries to get close while this opportunity and Rhodes, his influence not but here in Parfield, but thinks side Rhodes, may have Marlene and resources ——— of Leiya these two formidable politics backing here and Rhodes maintains the relations, in the future perhaps can also makes contact with the line with Shenia Family as well as Royal Family, this business was too cost-effective. 也正因为如此,眼下不少贵族看见罗德等人前来参加拍卖会,都没有感到太吃惊,相反,他们当中不少人都在想着要不要趁这个机会和罗德套套近乎,就算他的势力不在这里而在帕菲尔德,但是想想在罗德身边,可还是有玛琳和莉洁这两个强大的政治后盾的资源———在这里和罗德搞好关系,日后说不定还能够与仙妮亚家族以及王室搭上线,这个买卖太划算了。 However here is an auction market, is not the dance party cocktail party, everybody is not good to greet directly, say nothing, some people welcomed at this moment. 不过这里是拍卖场,不是舞会酒会,大家也不好上去直接打招呼,更不用说,此刻已经有人迎了出来。 „Mr. Rhodes, Miss Vivian, Miss Anne.” “罗德先生,七恋小姐,安妮小姐。” Sees three people of forms, Natasha to raise hem of the skirt slightly to run from the crowd, arrived at at Rhodes' side. But Grandis wears the armor, follows in her. Saw Rhodes and the others, Grandis to stare first, in slightly red along with behind, lowered the head, to three people of gave a bow. 看见三人的身影,娜塔莎提着裙摆从人群中小跑出来,来到了罗德的身边。而格蓝迪则穿着盔甲,跟随在她的身后。看见罗德等人,格蓝迪先是愣了一下,随后面上微微一红,低下头去,向三人行了一礼。 „Miss Natasha, Mr. Grandis, sees you very much happily.” “娜塔莎小姐,格蓝迪先生,很高兴见到你们。” Sees two people arrivals, Rhodes to greet to two people, then he looks to all around, Rhodes can feel in own side crowd there are many people in taking a look at them, in these vision has the curiosity, has the excitement, there are strange and vigilant. However this is very normal matter, a small group, entered several outcomers suddenly, will have this and that issue unavoidably, regarding Rhodes, he comes to here to attend the auction, does not plan to integrate this circle thoroughly, therefore he does not have what view, both sides exchanged greetings, then under the leadership of Natasha, walks toward the bidding block. 看见两人的到来,罗德向两人打了声招呼,接着他向四周望去,罗德可以感觉自己身边人群之中有不少人都在打量他们,这些目光中有好奇,有兴奋,也有陌生和警惕。不过这都是很正常的事情,一个小圈子,忽然进入了几个外来者,也难免会有这样那样的问题,对于罗德来说,他来这里只是为了参加拍卖会的,并不打算彻底融入这个圈子,所以他对此没有什么看法,双方寒暄了一下,接着便在娜塔莎的带领下,向着拍卖会场中走去。 „I have said the hello with Lord Father, today everybody can use our theater boxes, please feel relieved, Mr. Rhodes, has us here, believes the thing that you want should not be robbed.” “我已经和父亲大人打好了招呼,今天各位可以使用我们的包厢,请您放心,罗德先生,有我们在这里,相信您想要的东西应该不太会被人抢走。” Natasha is bringing friendly happy expression started talking, in the facial expression indistinct also reveals a pride, looks comes out she is very really proud for own family, moreover compared with before, present young girl, regardless of the speech works, had the opinion. It seems like beforehand that time disciplines regarding influence indeed not small ——— of young girl, moreover is developing to the good aspect. However ......... 娜塔莎带着友善的笑意开口说道,神情中隐隐约约的也流露出一丝骄傲,看的出来她真的很为自己的家族而骄傲,而且比起之前,现在的少女无论说话做事,都更有主见了一些。看来之前那次磨练对于少女的影响的确不小———而且是在向好的方面发展。不过……… At this time, Rhodes suddenly once again felt that incomparable gloomy and cold, has been full of the hostility line of sight, it transmits from the crowd, looks steadily on oneself body, but this line of sight actually flashes past on Rhodes', quick vanishes in the crowd. 就在这个时候,罗德忽然又一次感觉到了那股无比阴冷,充满了敌意的视线,它从人群中传来,盯视在自己的身上,但是这个视线却只是在罗德的身上一闪而过,很快又重新消失在人群之中。 „How? Mr. Rhodes?” “怎么了？罗德先生？” Realized that Rhodes stops the footsteps, Natasha can't help but curious asked, but Rhodes looked at around one, afterward has exchanged a look with Vivian, then he shook the head. 察觉到罗德停下脚步,娜塔莎不由好奇的询问道,而罗德则望了一眼四周,随后与七恋交换了一个眼神,接着他摇了摇头。 „No, does not have anything, we walk.” “不,没什么,我们走吧。” Rhodes was raising the head, entered the bidding block. 着,罗德便抬起头,走进了拍卖会场。 The entire bidding block looks like is not very big, but is not small, is similar to a circular theater, in front of stage, rows of seats shows the trapezoidal distribution, in these comfortable, the vision open region, decorated in the luxurious theater box also to be filled with the person at this moment. The positions of these theater boxes at „stage” the edge four walls, from here can clear present situation taking in the whole scene at once, will take in everything at a glance. Each theater box covers up with the brass support and red velvet theater curtain, provides a peace for guest, comfortable space. 整个拍卖会场看起来并不算很大,但是也不算小,就如同一个圆形剧院般,在舞台的前面,一排排座位呈梯形分布,在那些舒适,眼界开阔的地带,装饰豪华的包厢里此刻也已经坐满了人。这些包厢的位置处在“舞台”的边缘四壁,从这里可以清楚的将眼下的情况尽收眼底,一览无余。每间包厢都用黄铜支架与红色的天鹅绒幕布所遮掩起来,为其中的客人提供一个安静,舒适的空间。 As Eagle City City Lord, treatment nature is good. Natasha in theater box that leads Rhodes and the others to enter, not only has the soft comfortable sofa, even also has the ice-cold delightful good wine and fruit, cake and other food. But on their front red wood tea tables, but also places will soon be auctioning the goods the detailed list, Rhodes found own goal ——— to turn on the key of underground labyrinth in the detailed list quickly, but those who make the person not know whether to laugh or cry, this introduction of key in detailed list is actually „the magic ornament”, this also no wonder, after all this key, although says is the key, but a semblance actually point cannot look likely is the appearance of key, on the contrary is more like that type of stone slab puzzle, will be mistaken is the magic ornament is also not strange. 作为雄鹰之城的城主,待遇自然不错。娜塔莎带领罗德等人进入的包厢中不但有柔软舒适的沙发,甚至还有冰冷甜美的美酒与水果,蛋糕等食物。而在他们面前的红木茶几上,还摆放着即将拍卖物品的清单,罗德很快就在清单上找到了自己的目标———开启地下迷宫的钥匙,而更让人哭笑不得的是,这把钥匙在清单上的介绍却是“魔法装饰品”,这也难怪,毕竟这把钥匙虽然说是钥匙,但是外表却一点都看不出来像是钥匙的样子,反倒更像是那种石板拼图,会被人误以为是魔法装饰品也并不奇怪。 Quick, the people scatter in all directions to take a seat, Rhodes naturally is Vivian, Anne sits together. But Natasha and Grandis also sit in side, low voice whispering in somebody's ear. Looks comes out they also is very as if interested regarding this auction, but in two people sides, wear steward uniform/subdue a vertical hand of old man calm stands, obviously, he specially comes this to serve the offer for the people. 很快,众人就四散落座,罗德自然是和七恋,安妮坐在一起。而娜塔莎和格蓝迪也坐在旁边,小声的咬着耳朵。看的出来他们对于这次拍卖会似乎也很有兴趣,而在两人的身边,一个穿着管家制服的老人正安静的竖手而立,显然,他正是专门来此为众人服务报价的。 „Did you realize? Master?” “你察觉到了？主人？” When Rhodes starts to read in the hand the detailed list, Vivian gathers near quietly his ear, in a low voice asked, but facing her inquiry, Rhodes is also a slight nod. 就在罗德开始翻看手中清单的时候,七恋悄悄的凑到他的耳边,低声询问道,而面对她的询问,罗德也是微一点头。 „Naturally, but we watch changes quietly, first had a look at the origin of opposite party to say again.” “当然,不过我们静观其变,先看看对方的来历再说。” When two people talked, the clear Ling sound got up, but along with the Ling sound, magic brilliance of originally in theater was also dim regarding around immediately, quick , some theaters of noise gradually restored peacefully, distinguished guest in theater box, the guest on ordinary seat sat straight the body at this moment, is gazing at the present stage with total concentration. 就在两人交谈之时,清脆的铃声响起,而伴随着铃声,原本围绕在剧场四周的魔法光辉也顿时黯淡了许多,很快,本来还有些喧闹的剧场渐渐恢复了安静,无论是在包厢中的贵宾,还是普通座位上的客人此刻都坐直了身体,聚精会神的注视着眼前的舞台。 Before wears the auctioneer of coattails to get on the stage. 紧接着,一个身穿燕尾服的拍卖师走上台前。 The auction, formally starts. 拍卖,正式开始。
