Of course, bystanders could clearly see Delgado's sudden change of expression.
The people in Earl Steer's box, which had the best view in the middle of the north, could even see the tiny movements of his hands.
Count Steer's face turned livid in an instant...not because of Delgado's shamelessness, but because of the two iron-clamp-like fingers from Helena on his waist.
Countess Steer was wearing a simple blue velvet dress, her long dark brown hair was neatly tied behind her head, her big eyes were as big as Ellie's, and they were as green as the jungle after the rain... They were a sign of burning anger.
fire.
"If... Mr. Belfran hadn't suddenly appeared, would you have given our Ellie as an apprentice to such a disgusting guy?" Helena's deep voice contained fierce anger, "Our green
The roses are still in bud, are you going to just pinch them and make them into dried flowers?
Is your head filled with sand by the desert people? Even your own daughter will be trapped!"
"No..." Earl Steer said humbly, "Look...how could I put all my hope in this guy?
What I want is not him.
It's Janos Hanna, the student who has been with Delgado for the longest time... Although he is still an apprentice in name, Janos is already a fifth-level mage. Although he has only learned the most basic alchemy skills,
It’s enough to teach Ellie!”
"Janos?" Helena repeated the name playfully, "Your hands can be stretched out long enough!"
In aristocratic society, if you call someone by name, it always means a close relationship.
"Janos was also forced." Count Steer sneered, "He will be able to advance to level 6 mage long ago.
But in the world of mages, the status of mid-level mages is not low. If Delgara wants to continue treating him as an apprentice, it will not work.
Janos originally thought that he had worked hard for Delgara for more than thirty years and helped him with everything...Have you ever seen a mage who brings tea and water to people and cleans the room?
Delgara should give him a chance to advance no matter what.
However, in the past three years, when he was conducting experiments, it exploded six times, and one of them almost damaged the foundation.
That's the sage's magic tower. How could something go wrong so easily?
No matter how loyal you are, you should find a way out for yourself.
So, this time, my purpose is just to let Delgara keep Janos!
However, his shamelessness still exceeds my imagination!"
"I won't ask you why you know about Janos." A cold smile appeared on Helena's beautiful face, "But I can tell that if Delgara hadn't behaved as shamelessly as now
, Janos is just your backup, right?"
She glared at her husband fiercely: "I'm not afraid to tell you, as long as you dare to let Delgara enter the castle, I will dare to send Ellie to the capital!
My daughter can choose not to marry, but... she can’t marry because she has a bad reputation!"
Earl Steer reluctantly defended: "Look, in this world, who cares about the affairs of those in power?
Isn’t Delgara still thriving?
If the result is good, then it’s good!
Why care..."
"But as a mother, I don't care!" Helena snorted without hesitation. "I will take Linde to the capital with me then! By coincidence, my teacher has returned to the capital guard!
Although she is only a vice-captain, she is enough to provide support for me and my two children... Even if Ellie is not the daughter of Count Stehr, she still has enough support to marry a good man!
Don’t talk about the royal family... maybe Ellie will be more popular than being your daughter!"
"Don't say that...why get angry over something that will never happen again?" Earl Steer's voice became even lower, "You see, our little rose always has the best luck.
Doesn’t this mean a more suitable teacher has arrived?”
Helena couldn't help but sneer again and again... What does your daughter's luck have to do with you?
Joshua, who was sitting on the sofa a little further to the left, looked forward with a serious look on his face. He pulled the young Linde, who was not yet an adult and had a natural expression that he could not control, and pointed down at Stell, who had already understood.
The family had no intention of compromising. The wealthy merchants who started to make quotations were gesturing... one by one, they pointed out which family was standing behind the other party and why they didn't care at all about offending that Delgado.
As the count's most loyal and trustworthy subordinate, he was directly involved in many things...otherwise he wouldn't have been so excited after seeing that Hill, who was at least level 12, turned out to be an alchemist.
Of course he would not stop the Earl from taking risks, but as he was a little gentler than Earl Steer, he did not agree with letting Miss Ellie encounter such a disgusting thing at such a young age.
However, the Earl's head has always been straightforward and hard, and he also feels that his child will be as strong as him, and he never thinks that the slightest disgusting thing can defeat his daughter.
But why suffer when you can enjoy it?
But as a subordinate of the earl, the only thing Joshua can do is to occasionally reveal something to the respectable Ms. Helena!
Of course, this also requires the cooperation of the old housekeeper.
This was quite easy, as the other party was not willing to do this from the beginning.
It is estimated that no one has concealed this little plot of the Ster family... so these people simply stayed silent at first.
After all, if the Stehr family is willing to endure Delgado's blackmail, there is no way anyone else can compete with the Stehr family, which produces and sells its own goods and can always take advantage of the situation.
Therefore, of course they will not help the Stehr family raise the price... If they don't get it, of course they have to let the Stehr family suffer!
Otherwise, why are they here? Does the Ster family deserve to have so many of them come together to make fun of them?
Of course, all the people who came here are also well-informed and know about the earth traveler who has just arrived in Basia City a few days ago... Although there is still half a chance that the Stel family will choose that one in order to enter the royal capital.
Don't be shameless Delgado, but it's better than before with no hope at all.
If it hadn't been for this accident, today's auction would have been attended by juniors from various families and chambers of commerce... While there is excitement to watch, it's still a good idea to open the eyes of children.
However, even the knowledgeable ones did not expect that Delgado could do it... so shamelessly.
Many minor nobles or leaders of chambers of commerce have regrets on their faces: Why didn’t you spend more money to buy two more tickets?
After being able to see with their own eyes how flexible the terrible bottom line of the famous sage is, it is estimated that their pampered children will understand what it means to be shady and thick-skinned in business.
Or they have to understand why sometimes, even though their own chamber of commerce can't buy something that is too good... What else can a family with insufficient confidence do when they encounter such a high-level professional who is like a bastard?
If you want to raise prices as easily and naturally as the Earl, you need deep strength!
After witnessing this scene, it is estimated that many young people will have a clearer idea of their family's positioning when they return home.
After all, most of those so-called polite, calm and self-possessed mages, and... wealthy mages are just legends in books.
Of course there are, and there are quite a few.
But just one or two bastards like Delgado are enough to deceive many business families!
Especially those emerging little nobles, they really can't bear it!
If it hadn't been for the late stage, and the people in the box started to compete, the overly heated whispers in the auction would have almost drowned out the shouts of bids in the hall.
The quality of the loudspeakers in the private room may not be much better than those below, but after all, the waiters calling out prices are all specially trained waiters, and they are quite impressive.
Hill was very happy to see it.
In particular, Vice President Delgado, who had not yet figured out the situation, changed his expression, which made Hill who was facing him even more interesting.
Hill felt that some of the people on his side couldn't keep up with the price call... After all, for such a big price, the waiter would only dare to shout once if they signaled once.
But there are always people who take a slow shot... It seems that having a good field of vision also has a downside.
However, this side located on the east side of the auction hall was originally the area where the local forces of Brasiya City were located, and the opposite side was the capital or the area of some big nobles.
Both parties would rather sit unsatisfied than arrange for anyone else.
The box that Hill was in was originally the reserved area of the Stehr family.
As for the south side, it is reserved for people with low social status but who have money to buy expensive boxes... So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they must stay farthest from the north side where there is only one independent large box.
The seats in the hall are distributed in a fan shape, and on the north side is an isolated area where auction items are sent to the auction table in the middle... just under the large box.
It was different from the auction venues Hill had seen before, but that was understandable. After all, this was a world where killers and spies were prevalent.
The price of mithril has been shouted to 3 million... Delgado still has an incredulous expression, but he is not stupid enough and has already begun to join the battle.
"I remember that the Alchemy Association has a station in Garcia City?" Hill asked thoughtfully... So, why hasn't anyone solved Delgado's puzzle yet?
"Branch president, from the Finch family." Ellie said calmly, "Otherwise, how could our alchemists in Basia City be so observant?"
Hill nodded... No wonder his illusion trapped so many thieves on the first day. Even after a mage fell into it, some people dared to rush in.
The level does seem to be a little higher...but Hill thought he was here to save people, isn't it normal to be higher?
As for Ismail, the young master who seemed to be a bit of a two-faced man, it was only after there were no new residents in the fantasy world that he changed his first words when he saw Hill and no longer asked him to let him go.
