After Cadgar left, only Lin Yun and Faleau were left in the reception room.
Lin Yun was fine, but Faleau was suffering.
Up until now, Faelor still couldn't understand how things had reached this point.
At first, Faleau didn't want to waste time, and seeing that Lin Yun was young, he guessed that he was an Apprentice Alchemist, so he naturally wasn't polite.
In fact, Faleau received a lot of such Apprentice Alchemists every day. They had just stepped into the alchemy path and were looking for an opportunity in the Black Horn Auction House with a few pieces of work.
Most of the time, Faleau would let them leave their things behind and come back to get the money after they were sold. As for the ones that hadn't been sold, he would usually throw them in a corner. If someone came to pick them up, they would have to look for them themselves.
This was a bit like a big shop bullying its customers …
But the Black Horn Auction House was so big, and there were so many transactions every day, so no one cared about what Faleau did. As for those Apprentice Alchemists, most of them only came to try their luck. If they didn't sell, then they didn't sell. Offending Faleau wasn't worth it.
Thus, Faleau had never met any trouble over the years.
Only this time, his luck was really bad.
This was really bad luck. Who would have thought that a young mage in his twenties would alarm Cadgar? Who would have thought that the two potions he casually took out were actually the Ghost Potion and the Volcano Potion? Who would have thought …
Forget it, at this point, it didn't matter if he thought about it or not …
Recalling Cadgar's warning before leaving, Faleau felt his legs go soft. If he neglected Mage Merlin, he would have to pack up and return to Okland. He hadn't just neglected him, he had even cursed at him. If this matter reached Cadgar's ears, he would really have to pack up and return to Okland. At that time, everything would be over. His job, his future, everything would be over …
Faleau's face paled as he thought about it.
But for Faleau to become an Alchemist at such a young age and to be able to work in a place like the Black Horn Auction House, he wasn't someone without resolution. Seeing that the situation wasn't right, this young mage clenched his teeth and threw himself at Lin Yun 'feet.
"Wizard Merlin, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have looked down on you, I …"
"…" Lin Yun was dumbfounded. His jaw almost dropped to the ground. This, this, this … could be f * cking done like this?
"Wizard Merlin, please be magnanimous and let me go. I really can't lose this job …" Faelor had already thrown caution to the wind. Losing face was better than losing his job.
Besides, no one else saw it …
In the end, Faleau even started thinking, 'So what if someone saw it? I'm pleading with a future Master Alchemist, you don't even have the chance to beg.'
"…" Lin Yun 'appetite had been ruined for a long time. It would be a lie to say that he didn't have any thoughts. In fact, after Cadgar left, Lin Yun remained calm and collected. He wanted to see what that young Alchemist would say to him.
But …
Lin Yun had guessed the beginning, but he hadn't guessed the ending.
Indeed, the young Alchemist had lowered his head, but wasn't this kind of method a bit too unconventional?
'Damnit, a grown man in his twenties, and an Alchemist at that, is hugging your thigh and weeping? What the hell is going on?'
Lin Yun took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible, "Get up first."
Faleau still wanted to act shamelessly. "No, Mage Merlin, if you don't agree to let me go, I won't get up …"
"You won't get up?"
Faleau shivered as he stood up.
"Alright, you don't need to act pitiful. Didn't Cadgar tell you to take care of me? Take me to the auction now."
"Not now …" After saying this, Faleau cautiously looked at Lin Yun 'expression. After discovering that this future Master Alchemist wasn't displeased, he promptly explained, "It's like this, Mage Merlin, the Black Horn Auction is semi-public, and only invited VIPs can participate …"
"Ah?" Lin Yun froze when he heard this. This Black Horn Auction was actually like this?
But before Lin Yun could recover from his shock, Faleau had already said with a fawning smile, "But it doesn't matter, Mage Merlin, you are High Mage Cadgar's guest, which means you are a VIP of the Black Horn Auction House. I'll take you to handle the procedures, and after that, you can participate in the auction."
"That's good …"
After coming out of the reception room, Faleau quickly helped Lin Yun handle the procedures. On the way, Lin Yun gained a new understanding of this young Alchemist.
He had to admit that this young Alchemist was truly a talent. His ability to handle matters was very good, and he was very proficient in using his connections to intimidate others.
On the way, he relied on Cadgar's name to help Lin Yun handle all the procedures within half an hour. Occasionally, he would meet two people who didn't have eyes and wanted to make things difficult for him. Faleau would directly use Cadgar's name. This is the Chief Appraiser's guest, what do you want? Do you not want to work?
Who would dare to make things difficult for the Chief Appraiser's guest?
With Cadgar's name and Faleau using his connections to intimidate others, there was no obstruction on the way. In a short half an hour, Faleau helped Lin Yun get an invitation to a luxurious box. This was the best seat in the auction house, and there were only seven of them. In the past, they were reserved for the leaders of the major forces, and they were the peak forces of the eastern part of the kingdom. In Thousand Sails City, only Solomon of the Sage Tower and Monchi of the Twin Moons chamber of commerce could get a seat in one of these seven boxes. Even Sauss of the Viper Nest could only sit outside.
After completing all the procedures, the two of them arrived at the auction site. This was the top floor of the Black Horn Auction House, a huge venue that could accommodate thousands of people. By the time the two of them arrived, the venue was already filled with guests.
Cadgar had just said that the Black Horn Auction House was a grand event of the entire eastern part of the kingdom, and he wasn't bragging. Lin Yun stood at the entrance and glanced inside the venue. He discovered that almost all of the top figures of Thousand Sails City had arrived: Solomon of the Sage Tower, Monchi of the Twin Moons chamber of commerce, Sauss of the Viper Nest, Sasu of the Silver Moon Mercenaries, and so on.
The VIP box was on the second floor of the venue, and it had the best view of the entire venue. Faleau led the way while Lin Yun curiously looked around. The two of them quickly reached the box, one in front and one in the back.
Just as they were about to go upstairs, they were stopped.
"Hey, Young Master Merlin, this isn't a place you should be in …" The one stopping them was the butler of the Monchi Family, Jonathan. He looked to be in his fifties, had a short stature, and his hair was already grizzled. In Mafa Merlin's memories, no matter what he said or how he did it, he was always a mean person.
But before Lin Yun could say anything, Faleau stood up from the side.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?" Faleau wasn't polite at all.
The young Alchemist wasn't a polite person to begin with. Before Cadgar came, even Lin Yun couldn't stand him, so how could a trifling butler enter his eyes? Not to mention that Faleau was using Cadgar's tiger skin. This was equivalent to representing the entire Black Horn Auction House, so he naturally didn't have any misgivings about what he said.
"I'm the butler of the Monchi Family, Jonathan. This is my master's box. You can't just barge in and disturb my master's rest. Can you afford to bear the consequences?" Jonathan wasn't someone to be trifled with. In Thousand Sails City, the Monchi Family practically covered the sky with one hand. Aside from the Sage Tower, they didn't place any other forces in their eyes, let alone two insignificant brats.
Jonathan hadn't expected to meet someone even more unreasonable this time. Seeing that the short and thin old man actually dared to not give way, Faleau didn't say anything and slapped him. Only a "slap" could be heard as the surroundings quieted down. Jonathan covered half his face with one hand and pointed at Faleau with the other, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He was the steward of the Monchi Family, one of the most trusted people of the master. Even the leaders of the major forces of Thousand Sails City had to be polite to him. This … Was this brat crazy? How could he dare to make a move against him?
"Y-y-you … You dare to hit me?" Jonathan covered his face with one hand and pointed at Faleau with the other. Both of his hands were trembling as he looked at Faleau with eyes full of disbelief.
"Why wouldn't I dare to hit you?" After Faleau slapped him, he seemed to want to continue. "Causing trouble in the territory of the Black Horn Auction House, are you tired of living?"
To be honest, Jonathan really deserved his bad luck …
Originally, Jonathan should have been accompanying Monchi in the box. As the butler of the Monchi Family, he didn't need to personally guard the box.
But for some reason, Jonathan saw Lin Yun walking over from a distance.
This was truly a bit of a coincidence …
Many people in the Monchi Family knew about Lin Yun's hospitality to Mason, and this naturally included Jonathan. Seeing Lin Yun walking over, Jonathan immediately wanted to show off in front of his family's Second Young Master.
In Jonathan's eyes, this was simply the best opportunity to show off.
His master had personally come today, and there were so many elites of the family's mercenary group waiting outside. Even if that Mafa Merlin was extremely courageous, he still wouldn't dare to make a move against him.
As long as that Mafa Merlin didn't dare to make a move, he could humiliate him and help Young Master Mason vent his anger. In the future, Young Master Mason would definitely look at him in a new light, and he might even put in a few good words for him in front of his master.
As a result, Jonathan had guessed the beginning, but he hadn't guessed the ending.
