"Hehe, that's why I said those who know what's good and what's good can still find good stuff in this kind of place!" Han Shuo laughed.
"Let's go. Show me around. I see that you are a person who knows what's good and what's good!" Sophie's face was full of joy. She grabbed the corner of Han Shuo's clothes and pulled Han Shuo towards the bustling area.
Han Shuo felt helpless. Originally, Sophie said that as the host, she should properly entertain him. Who would have thought that it would be Han Shuo accompanying her to stroll around blindly instead? It seemed that the words of a woman could not be completely trusted.
Seeing that Sophie was in high spirits, Han Shuo did not dampen her spirits. He accompanied her and squeezed through the crowd of stalls. Using his accurate sense of materials, he found a few good things suitable for her.
"Han, you are amazing. How do you know so much?" Sophie said excitedly to Han Shuo as she tightly clasped a crudely made jade bracelet in her hand.
The jade bracelet was also chosen by Han Shuo for Sophie. After Sophie put it on, she felt that the jade bracelet had the effect of relieving fatigue. After hearing Han Shuo explain all the effects of the jade bracelet, Sophie truly admired Han Shuo from the bottom of her heart.
"It's about time. It's already afternoon. Let's take a stroll around the auction house," Han Shuo suggested as he looked at Sophie smilingly.
"That place isn't very interesting. We might as well find some fun here," Sophie obviously did not have a favorable impression of the auction house as she replied, curling her lips.
"Kasi Empire holds an auction house once every three years. There must be many interesting people and items inside. Since I have come to Kasi Empire, it would be inexcusable if I didn't go and take a look. As the host, shouldn't you do your duty as a host? " Although there were indeed some good things on display at the stalls outside, there must be even more precious treasures inside the auction house. Moreover, they must have all been appraised. That was why Han Shuo made such a suggestion.
"Alright, since you insist, I'll go with you," Sophie reluctantly agreed to Han Shuo's request and followed Han Shuo to the auction house.
The auction house was located in an enormous building. When Han Shuo and Sophie walked to the door, a group of knights in shining armor were standing guard in front of the door, courteously blocking their way. Although these knights' attitudes could be considered friendly, they blocked the two's path.
"You two, you can't enter without an invitation," one of the knights reminded them with a smile.
Han Shuo and Sophie's appearances were ordinary, and the clothes they wore were also very ordinary. After putting away the space rings, there was nothing special about the two of them. People dressed like commoners obviously shouldn't appear in a high-class place where celebrities congregated.
Han Shuo coldly snorted. He thought to himself that these kinds of people were everywhere. Although this knight appeared to be courteous on the surface, the ridicule and contempt in his eyes were not concealed at all. Han Shuo could see the disdain in his heart at a glance.
"Here, these are the invitation letters. Can we go in now?" Sophie casually took out two invitation letters and handed them to the knight with a light snort.
The knight was astonished. Obviously, he did not expect that people like Han Shuo and Sophie would actually be qualified to receive an invitation letter. He stared blankly at Sophie and Han Shuo, momentarily forgetting to reply.
"Can we?" Sophie raised her voice slightly and asked again.
"Of course, of course!" The knight suddenly came back to his senses and hastily replied. He turned to the side and bowed, saying courteously, "Please come in!"
"Hmph!" Han Shuo shot a cold glance at the knight and strode in with Sophie.
As soon as they entered, they saw a splendid scene of splendid lights. In the incomparably spacious hall, rows of bright and gorgeous crystal lamps hung high. The floor was covered with a soft red carpet. In the staircase hall that was similar to a luxurious movie theater, every table was filled with exquisite desserts and fruits.
Right in front of them, a host dressed in an evening gown introduced the goods with a smile. Multicolored lights converged and fell on an exquisite magic staff inlaid with an aquamarine diamond-shaped gem. Under the illumination of the lights, this magic staff was even more beautiful and dazzling. For some water magicians who loved beauty, this magic staff simply had a fatal attraction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this exquisite magic staff was forged by Master Farrell of the elven race. This' Blue Fantasy 'magic staff can increase the power of water magic by 30%, and it can recover mental strength faster. Hehe, as for its design, I reckon that only the word 'perfect' can describe it. Coming from the hands of Master Farrell, all of them are shockingly exquisite without exception … "On the stage, the host was very provocatively preaching the advantages of the magic staff.
Han Shuo observed it attentively for a moment and discovered that although this magic staff was really not bad, it was a pity that it was a little too gorgeous. That extremely beautiful design was in fact not particularly suitable for magicians to wield. That Master Farrell had obviously abandoned practicality in pursuit of perfection.
Given Han Shuo's temperament, he definitely wouldn't choose this type of weapon. However, its exquisite design had incited the crazy pursuit of female magicians. Due to the existence of the Shrine of Ice in Kasi Empire, the number of magicians who specialized in water magic was the highest. As soon as the host's words fell, the audience immediately boiled over.
Just as Han Shuo and Sophie were staring at the stage, a male attendant said with a smile, "Please follow me!"
"Are there any private rooms?" Sophie looked at the attendant and indifferently asked.
The attendant stared blankly for a moment. After sizing up Sophie, he smiled and said, "No, they have long been fully booked."
Han Shuo understood that in an auction of this level, other than the stair-shaped auction stage in the main hall, there were rooms specially prepared for the real bigwigs on the surrounding floors. People with status would generally reserve their own rooms long ago.
Originally, if Sophie had come together with Braque, she would have stayed in a special room. But now that she was staying together with Han Shuo, she could only condescend to it.
"Forget it then. Lead the way," Sophie said thoughtlessly.
Under the guidance of the attendant, Han Shuo and Sophie arrived at a seat at the back row. In front of the two of them were similarly placed exquisite desserts. There was also a magic table on which one could input the exact amount of gold coins.
