Chapter 172 My money ability is above you

Hearing the inquiry, the few turned around together.

In front of me is a graceful and luxurious lady with dignified hair in a bun, her long skirt is clean, and a belt decorated with broken diamonds.

She didn't have many jewelry on her. But House, who had been taken by Lann to see the royal collection of Sintra several times, knew that the few jewelry on this lady was worth the jewel of a table not far away.

"We are attendants of the Lannister family, and I am the steward of the Earl." House said an identity that was matched with Lann's permission, "I wonder which lady was in front of me?"

The old woman opposite was not surprised when she heard House's self-introduction.

A decent enough Earl's house should have a complete butler group. It is not unacceptable to a young man under twenty years old to claim to be a butler.

A gentleman next to the old woman looked at the three attendants with a scrutiny: "This is the Duchess of Minole."

When the three servants heard the name of "Duchess", they saluted again. But they were not nervous and their expressions were still free.

People in the north all adhere to the class concept of "My lord's lord is not my lord, and my lord's lord is not my lord". Faced with unknown noble ladies, even if they are duchesses, it is enough to do basic etiquette without causing trouble for themselves, so that they will not be too nervous and trepidated.

This is also the reason why Lane suddenly received a gift from her side after leaving Sintra.

Especially in the city of Liberty Novigre, there are too many nobles, bankers, artists, and masters from all walks of life.

Of course, if there are enough swords in your hand, no matter who is in your hands, you will respect you.

"Mr. Kahn, can you give me some space? I want to talk to the Lannister family about something private."

The man named Kahn seemed to be a banker, and when he was leaving, he talked to the Duchess endlessly about his business ability: "If you have anything to do, I'll be on the other side of the room at any time."

After the banker left, the Duchess of Minole said to House: "I have heard rumors that Count Lannister is a witch hunter. I wonder if this news is true?"

House did not affirm or deny that he was not sure about the purpose of the lady in front of him.

"Sorry, it is against honor to talk to strangers about the personal affairs of the Earl as a servant."

Mrs. Minole chuckled, "That means, is the rumor true?"

House paused.

"Then honorary servant, please tell me, have you ever seen a demon hunter with a wolf-headed necklace around you?"

House was silent for three breaths, organized language, and was about to speak-

As a result, he was interrupted by Mrs. Minole again: "It seems that there is something, it's great."

House opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Can honorary servants help me bring a message to your count? I hope to meet him."

The old woman confirmed the news she wanted and was in a good mood at the moment: "I hope this meeting can be promoted as soon as possible, which may be a bit rude... In this way, the Count Lannister sent the people here to see some auction items. It should be enough to get you from Sintra to come here thousands of miles away.

Tell me, why are you here for?"

Things quickly went beyond House's expectations.

Without waiting for the first round of auction to end, Madame Minole directly led the three servants and went inward, and found Host Posody all the way through the bow of the guards of the auction house.

The patriarch of the Posody family has a look that suits his value. He is dressed luxuriously and flamboyantly, has a bald head but has a carefully trimmed beard. It feels like all the hair that should have grown on the top of his head runs to his face.

"Madame Minole, you are our most honorable guest, and have never missed our auctions for decades. Even if you want to book an auction privately, we have nothing to say. A distinguished guest deserves a noble treatment."

Horst Posody spoke with a deliberate and gentle manner. His eyes didn't even reach House and others for a second, and it seemed that he couldn't see these people.

"But what you are asking for now is the House of Maximilan Posody, the relics my father gave to us and my brother! Especially after my brother disappeared, it was the only thing that could carry me and my family's past."

Posody said in a tone full of regret: "It is not a very valuable thing in itself, and I can't think of what you want him to do. But I'm sorry, I can't give you this treasure that carries the memories of our family."

Mrs. Minole seemed to have anticipated this situation a long time ago. She said calmly: "I am deeply saddened by the story behind this treasure. Your father and I are close friends, and I miss him all the time. I think he will definitely be relieved to see you take care of the auction house to its current scale."

"But I need this treasure now to find my treasure, so - let's make a price, for the sake of my friendship with you two generations."

"This is not a matter of money." Horst Posody shook his head, "I don't lack money either."

Mrs. Minole revealed the nature of the merchant: "But you cannot refuse to make more money, this is the nature of your family."

Horst Posody continued to shake her head: "Listen to my explanation, madam..."

"3000 kroner. If you need it, I can also exchange it for you with the equivalent Mark, Oren or Florin."

Kroner is the currency of Novigre, which is widely used in the northern kingdoms because of Novigre's strong economic influence, and it has a vague trend of becoming a standard currency.

"Mark" refers to silver with a weight of one mark, "Oren" is mostly used in Temolia, and "Florin" is Nifgaard currency.

As a famous Posody Brothers Auction House in the mainland, it often uses different kinds of currencies.

By the way, it is known that the price of killing a water ghost in the countryside is half a kroner. In most cases, villagers cannot afford the kroner, but use "copper coins" as their currency.

Madame Minole's bid directly shocked everyone. For a model that has no practical utility and no collection value, the price is too high.

Milva thought silently that the money was enough to buy ten best bows from overseas - even better bows than the mahogany bow given to him by the Earl.

"Madam, this is not a matter of money..."

“5000 kroner.”

Levin swallowed, it was enough to buy all their war horses—except the Black Wind of the Earl.

"Madam, that's my father's relic..."

“10,000 kroner.”

House took a deep breath. This was the property tax for a great nobleman for a year - the kind of nobleman who was bigger than Count Lannister.

…………

After listening to the three attendants' stories, Lane rubbed her brows with a headache.

He knew who the duchess was.

This duchess is different from Tosent's "enlightened lady". He has no real military power, but has amazing wealth and is closer to the palace nobles.

In other words: she has nothing but money.

This is also a character who has appeared in the game. Lane is also very clear about the reason why the other party did this. He expected that the other party would make a big move for his goal, but he did not expect that he would move to this point.

After all, Sintra is in a mess now, and Lann's personal financial situation can no longer be as free as before. This is one of the few things he has been defeated by other people's money ability since his debut.

"That is, now the House of Posody is in the hands of this Duchess of Minole?"

House nodded in confusion: "She said she wanted to use this as a gift for you-after you came to visit and talk to her about it."

Understood.

"Prepare my visits and I'll change my clothes." Lane nodded, "This Duchess of Minole must have told you her address, right?"

House affirmed: "I will lead you later."

After half a night of tumbling in the sewer, he caught a toad; then he went to explore the secret lab of the warlock, rolled and turned the ground and killed a golem, and then dived in a deep pool with a water ghost corpse. The hygiene condition of Lanen is now imagined, and it doesn't seem like he can talk to people about things.

Didn't you see that even Tris kept his distance from him?

The hot water was ready soon.

Lane drove away Milva, who was holding a brush and wanted to come over to join in the fun, and lay comfortably into the bathtub.

Then, consciousness sinks into the system panel.

Before going out, you should still distribute the gains this time first.

This time, the exploration of the warlock ruins obtained three skill points. Although it was not as good as the previous gains in Thomas Molue's laboratory, it was also an unexpected surprise.

Lann thought about the three skill points and decided to leave one of them to the point. After all, now that he has the function of [Minion], what if it will be used?

The remaining two skill points were thrown into the [Seal Seal] by Lan En without any hesitation. He is now just one last breath away from the second level of the [Seal Seal] skill.

Add points - [French Seal] category, [Yaden Fanch Seal] subcategory - [Effect Extension]!

[Effect extension]: Extend the duration of the magic seal, increase the number of magic traps that can exist, and increase the number of magic trap attacks. (2/2)

The skill level of [Effect Extension] is only two levels, and at this moment, with the blessing of [Demon Tide], it is directly full.

This "magic trap attack number" does not refer to the current Yaden magic seal, but the function that will be activated by the second-level skill later. At that time, the [Yadian magic seal] will have additional functions of automatic attack.

Just as Lanen clicked on [Effect Extension], Lanen officially reached 8 skill points in the first-level skill of the magic seal ([Demon Tide] + 4).

The entire [Seal Seal] skill page trembled.
