When they entered the Red Maple Manor, it was already crowded.
The veteran politicians of the Griffin Alliance, well-known businessmen, new and old stars, and even some famous people in the scientific world were participating in this event. It had to be said that this was really a place where elites gathered. Anyone could represent the top of their field. Surprisingly, there were no reporters or other media personnel. They turned a blind eye to this star-studded place.
Tang Shidao walked in calmly.
The White Beauty and Lei Dazhuang were slightly nervous. They also recognized these people's faces. Lucy and Dani were already trembling with excitement.
"Welcome, Mr. Tang." Anderson came out to welcome him personally.
Other than his elders and allies, Tang Shidao was the only person he welcomed personally. The politicians and businessmen who didn't know the details were very curious. Who was this Asian? The stars were even more surprised. They couldn't believe that Young Master Anderson would be so polite to an Asian.
If they remembered correctly.
Young Master Anderson was very proud and aloof. He didn't care about anyone outside the aristocratic circle, let alone an Asian.
"You invited so many people. Do you want to publicize the treasure?" Tang Shidao reached out and shook his hand.
"Of course not. The real interesting thing is the castle behind the manor. Mr. Tang, we will select 'insiders' based on their identity and status. Most of the people here are still under investigation and have yet to reach the qualified level. "Anderson smiled and answered in the language of Zulong Nation so that his female companion wouldn't hear him.
His words meant that the truth was only in the hands of a few people.
The invitation went slowly.
The White Beauty held Tang Shidao's arm tightly. She noticed that … Anderson had changed his female companion. It wasn't that the female star from yesterday didn't come. She was in the hall and looking at them with a bitter smile. She was even prettier than the day before, but Andelin was holding onto another person, who was also a famous movie star.
Looking at the female star from yesterday, The White Beauty felt a little sympathy.
She passed by her and said "hi" softly.
The female star forced a smile, a slightly bitter smile. She said "thank you" softly. The White Beauty's greeting made her feel less embarrassed. Although it was sympathy, she was still grateful.
At this kind of ball.
There was no life, only the story of Prince Charming and Cinderella. Or rather, it was just a Cinderella story for one day.
In reality.
There were very few Prince Charming here, but there were many girls who wanted to be Cinderella. Often, it was not easy for them to get close to an old king, let alone a prince charming. In this kind of ball where money was piled up, there was never a lack of young and beautiful women. At best, they were just commodities, commodities for people to choose from.
There were no fights like in movies, nor were there conflicts like on TV.
Everyone at the ball was in harmony.
Even if there was a little friction, such as fighting over a female companion, everyone would smile and give way according to their status. There was absolutely no such foolish action as getting angry over a female companion. Everyone here was of high status. They wouldn't be stupid enough to provoke a troublesome enemy for a woman.
This was the most obvious example.
The White Beauty.
Dressed in a gown, she was definitely the center of attention. However, no one came to disturb him. The reason was very simple. Tang Shidao was personally welcomed in by Anderson. His identity was unknown, and no one here dared to underestimate Tang Shidao.
Those young "princes" had their eyes shining when they saw The White Beauty.
But so what?
Compared to a peerless beauty, they, who had been well-educated, did not dare to provoke an unknown enemy.
After a while.
Anderson personally brought a bottle of wine and personally poured a glass for Tang Shidao. The blazing eyes that were looking at The White Beauty disappeared. There were no fools here. Even if they were not smart, young, and sensible, they were in awe of something called power.
Some of the politicians at the ball were the governors of the small countries of the Griffin Alliance.
Did they receive Anderson's wine?
No.
Tang Shidao received it … This was the difference!
Was Anderson a fool? Was he messing around? Impossible. Even if he usually admired a person, he would not do this on such an occasion. Since he did this, this "Tang" must have a reason for him to offer wine. He didn't know because his status was too low to come in contact with it.
"Mister Tang, young master Anderson invites you to the castle." Halfway through the ball, Butler Wales personally came to invite him.
"Un." Tang Shidao was also tired of staying.
In this ball, everyone was like a pack of wolves looking up at a fierce tiger. Even the boldest star did not dare approach. Lei Dazhuang was eating while showing off his dog food. The White Beauty also stayed by his side, not daring to move. This ball was not fun at all.
Tang Shidao also knew that Anderson was deliberately "demonstrating" his wealth and status.
However.
Sorry, this kind of thing was useless against mages.
Don't say too much.
Just the Great Zhou Emperor's Immortal Invitation Banquet was more than ten times more luxurious. It would be strange if he was shocked.
"Mister Tang, Miss Bai and Mister Lei, please stay ….." Seeing that Tang Shidao wanted to bring The White Beauty and Lei Dazhuang, Wales softly dissuaded him.
"They are my fourth martial uncle's disciples in name, they already know about this."
"Then ….. I need to ask for instructions."
"Un."
Butler Wales' attitude was very professional. His actions and words did not make people unhappy.
After asking in a soft voice.
"Please, young master Anderson invites you over." Wales gently bowed.
The three of them moved.
Lucy and Dani smiled as they bid farewell. They clearly understood tonight: This' Tang 'had a very high status!
There were countless famous people in the ball that did not have the qualifications to enter the castle behind the manor. This unknown eastern youth actually received an invitation and even went in with his friends. Under the shocked gazes of the others, Lucy and Dani already realized: Tang was not on the same level as them.
Very soon.
A new round of banquet began in the castle.
The people that could set foot here, without exception, all knew Tang Shidao's identity and knew what the 'goal' of tonight's banquet was ….. This person called 'Tang Shidao' was holding onto the thing that they valued the most!
"Brother Wang, Sister Ghost, I never thought you would be here." Lei Dazhuang saw a familiar face.
"We're just here to join in the fun." Sister Ghost softly greeted and looked at Tang Shidao with a strange gaze. It was clear that she already knew the truth about the wind disaster.
On the other hand.
It was impossible for Zulong Country to miss this kind of exchange. Little Wang would definitely come.
The mysterious group did not understand Tang Shidao's attitude. They only received a message from him inviting them to 'study and use' the ark. On one hand, the mysterious group did not want Tang Shidao to give up the wheel. On the other hand, because the ark was underground in a neutral country, it was not easy to take it away. Of course, whether it was the mysterious group or the Knight's Association, they did not want Liu Yuanzhai's' education class' to be held again.
"Ladies and gentlemen …" The secret gathering was hosted by Anderson. It was similar to an auction.
The difference was.
Nothing here was normal.
As soon as Anderson finished his greeting, the first item he showed caused the women to go crazy: a bottle of perfume!
A very charming perfume.
A bottle of perfume that could be used once and could be used for a lifetime.
Despite the bizarre description, no one present doubted Anderson's words. Those who could sit here knew something that the outside world did not know.
The women madly bid, not caring about money at all.
The White Beauty looked at Tang Shidao in astonishment.
Tang Shidao smiled and nodded. "Don't be surprised. There really is such a medicine. Do you want it? "
The White Beauty shook her head. She never liked to use perfume.
The bidding continued.
A woman with heavy makeup named Ms. Shelley bid the most, but she failed. The auction of the Knight's Association was not only about money, but also bartering. Another middle-aged woman exchanged a medieval oil painting for perfume and sneered at Ms. Shelley.
Soon.
A bottle of potion that could remove wrinkles on the body caused another bidding war.
Ms. Shelley spent the most money.
Still, she failed miserably.
"You're just an old widow with money," the winner mocked.
Again.
It was a bottle of potion that could boost a man's manhood, and its effects could last for ten years. This time, it was the men's turn to fight for it. No matter young or old, the men present did not want to miss it. They knew very well that the price they offered was enough to buy ten carts of good medicine. They could eat it for ten lifetimes.
However, in the face of this magical medicine, they did not hesitate to spend money.
It could also be said that.
No one present was short of money. It was impossible for a poor person to enter such a place.
Anderson kept smiling.
But.
His heart was cold! The most important guest, Tang Shidao, seemed to be about to fall asleep. There was no need to guess. He was really not interested in these rare potions. The Griffin Alliance's plan to use rare items to exchange for the rudder was probably …
Below the row.
Tang Shidao was indeed about to fall asleep. There was only one thought in his mind: A group of bumpkins!
After so long, he had not seen a single alchemy item.
It was all potions.
Are you f * cking kidding me? I can make a thousand bottles of these things with my eyes closed.
"This is a bottle of combat potion. It can make people resist the damage of flames for a day. Except for ultra-high temperatures, ordinary flames can be ignored. " Anderson secretly glanced at Tang Shidao while speaking, thinking that he might be interested in the combat potion.
But, Anderson was disappointed.
Tang Shidao did not respond. Really, the intermediate Fire God Faith with 'fire immunity' was given to Meimo. You want me to care about a bottle of beginner fire resistance potion?
A group of bumpkins!
"Our Dark Knights Guild wants it." A low voice sounded.
Everyone was slightly restless, but no one was too surprised.
Anyone could come to this kind of auction, as long as you had the qualifications. Moreover, the Dark Knights Guild also had good things in their hands. As long as there were goods, who cared whether you were an enemy or not.
The business continued.
Anderson and Tang Shidao represented the two sides and continued to compete.
"This is a bottle of potion that can heal all injuries …"
Pass! I have healing skills, a group of bumpkins.
"This is a bottle of potion that can transform into a werewolf, effective for a day …"
Pass! I have tiger transformation, a group of bumpkins.
"This is a bottle of potion that can make people grow fish gills, effective for ten days …"
Pass! I have water breathing, a group of bumpkins.
"This is a bottle of potion that can make people temporarily gain agile movements and greatly improve their eyesight …"
Pass! I have hunter training skills. Swift Aura stopped talking, a group of bumpkins.
"This is a bottle of potion that can …"
Anderson showed it repeatedly. Everyone present was shocked. Wasn't there too many items for sale this time?
Looking at the uninterested Tang Shidao again, their hearts sank.
It failed!
The Dark Knights Guild treasured and hid good things … but the other party did not even look at them! This feeling, the Griffin Alliance was like a group of country bumpkins presenting gifts to a king, but the other party did not even look at them with the slightest interest.
"This is …" Anderson did not finish his words.
Tang Shidao threw an item onto the stage.
Anderson caught it subconsciously.
He looked at it.
Everyone was also surprised. This was an apple … an apple that was like gold and metal?
