"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Delacour's house!" Mr. Delacour stood in front and said gracefully, "I hope everyone who comes here today can eat and have fun. This will be a great time."
A huge compliment for us!”
Mr. Delacour said a few words briefly and walked away. Immediately afterwards, Weston came up.
Huh? When the guests saw this, their glasses lit up. These people came here just for Weston. When they saw Weston walking up, they all cheered up instantly.
"Welcome to everyone who has been invited to come here!" Weston stood in front and gave a slight salute. "What I want to tell you is that it is indeed me who invited everyone here!"
"The purpose is very simple!" Weston smiled mysteriously, "That is, everyone has been doing too much recently!"
"I'm just an ordinary wizard, and I'm just a student!" Weston pretended to be distressed, "Maybe this is the trouble of geniuses?"
The guests all chuckled.
"Okay, okay! I think I know what everyone is thinking, so I've prepared the banquet today!"
"This is both a banquet and a small auction!"
This is the method Weston came up with, selling his results at auction.
Of course, there are pros and cons to doing this, but at least it can maintain the current fragile balance.
Weston actually has another idea in his mind, which is to turn the entire Delacour family into a transcendent family - in the magical world, above everyone else!
However, the current Delacour family does not have such strength, so he just kept this idea in his heart.
However, if there were more auctions like this, the effect might be achieved. Weston, who was standing in front, thought to himself.
Let’s go back and discuss it with Uncle Delacour! Weston thought so.
"What is an auction? Can you tell me, Weston?" Lucius's words woke Weston up from his thoughts.
Seeing most people looking at him with puzzled expressions, Weston burst out laughing. He had forgotten that most purebloods had never been exposed to the Muggle world in their lives. This kind of sales originated from Muggles.
Of course they don't know the form.
"To put it simply, I will sell "Meditation" and everyone will bid, and the highest bidder will get it! There is no limit to the opportunity for everyone to bid. This time, there will only be three auctions! Do you understand this?" Weston briefly said
Explained it.
Isn't this just like the Ministry of Magic selling shops? The guests all understood a little bit. To put it bluntly, it is a competition for financial resources!
The guests looked at each other. Although the smiling faces were still the same, the atmosphere had changed a lot, and there seemed to be a lot more gunpowder smell in the air.
"Is everyone clear?" Weston asked with a smile.
The guests all nodded silently and looked at Weston with burning eyes.
"Then let's get started!" Weston said with a smile.
He raised his right hand slightly, and a high table appeared out of thin air. Weston grabbed it with his left finger, and a roll of parchment appeared out of thin air in Weston's hand.
Weston placed the wine glass in his hand on the high table again. After a while, the wine glass twisted and turned into a golden auction hammer.
Such high magical attainments! The guests' eyelids jumped when they saw it. They are all knowledgeable people, so they naturally know how powerful Weston's hand is. Not only did the magic activate quietly, but all of them were cast without a wand.
!
They looked at the young man in front of them with some awe, silently feeling that his weight in their hearts had gained a little more weight.
Weston naturally noticed everyone's expressions and nodded with satisfaction.
"Then everyone can bid!"
The room fell silent for an instant. Everyone looked at each other warily and did not bid immediately. Weston was not in a hurry and just looked at everyone with a smile.
"Haha, if no one talks, then I will do it!" A middle-aged wizard with a big beard laughed. Looking at the badge on his chest, you can tell that this is the patriarch of the Greengrass family and the future.
Draco Malfoy's father-in-law.
"The Greengrass family offers ten thousand gold galleons!"
Ten thousand gold galleons? Mrs. Delacour felt a little dizzy when she heard this quotation. However, looking at the expressions of everyone in the hall, it was obvious that this number only surprised them, and it was not shocking.
Everyone knows what this "Meditation Technique" represents. Even if ten thousand gold galleons is indeed a huge sum of money, it is nothing compared to the family inheritance!
"The Malfoy family is offering fifteen thousand gold galleons!" Lucius said calmly, then looked at the Greengrass family owner and said with a smile: "Old man, I can't give it to you this time! It's a matter of family importance.
Feel sorry!"
"It's nothing, Lucius! Although we are allies, I am not an ignorant person!" The Greengrass family laughed, "I'll just pay you 20,000 Galleons!"
"Thirty thousand!" The head of the Aibo family quoted calmly.
"Oh? The Abbot family is also interested in this?" The head of the Flint family glanced at the Abbot family with a smile. The smile on his long face always made people feel a little sinister.
"Of course, who wouldn't be interested!" The Selwyn family smiled softly, "Are you right, Frank?"
"Obviously!" the head of the Nott family responded with a smile, "I'll pay 31,000 Galleons! I guess I won't be able to take it! The family's liquidity is running low!"
"Thirty-five thousand!" the head of the Bock family said softly. He is the oldest among them. Perhaps because he has been dealing with black magic props all year round, his face always seems to have a dark aura.
"Old Bok, is there anyone else in your family? Don't bring the coffin with you when you buy it!" the head of the Yaxley family said with a sarcastic face.
"Don't bother me! You should think about where to find Galleons!" Old Bock replied quietly, "What is used here is Galleons for auction, not Copper Nuts!"
"You..." The head of the Yaxley family opened his eyes angrily.
"What? You still want to do it? I want to see if my old bones are still useful!" Old Bock played with the champagne glass in his hand and said without raising his head. It seemed that he didn't use Yak at all.
Sli takes it to heart.
"Okay! Don't look at where this place is! Don't be embarrassed!" The head of the Greenglass family frowned.
Humph! The head of the Yaxley family glared at Old Burke fiercely and stopped talking.
"The Greengrass family is offering fifty thousand gold galleons! Plus a copy of Merlin's notebook!"
Everyone was finally shocked by the offer made by the head of the Greengrass family.
That's Merlin's Notes!
"Are you crazy?" Lucius tugged on the sleeve of the Greengrass family, "That is your family's inheritance!"
"It doesn't matter, Lucius!" Patriarch Greengrass said with a faint smile, "Although the glory of our ancestors is still glorious, we cannot allow future generations to fail! We still can't understand that thing, so we might as well trade it!"
"Okay, just make your decision!" Lucius took a deep look at the head of the Greengrass family, sighed, and gave no further advice.
As soon as they heard Merlin's notes, everyone who was ready to make a move became more honest.
Weston glanced meaningfully at the wild-looking wizard and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
