190: Suddenly saw Avril

"Greetings, King Arthur!"

"Hmm!"

Avril ran to Arthur's side, first bowing slightly to pay her respects.

Only then did she sweep her gaze over the others. Upon discovering Melita, a Legendary Expert famous throughout the Lionheart Kingdom, her pupils constricted, and she hurriedly continued her salutations.

"Greetings, Legendary Melita!"

Then she added:

"Greetings, Karona, Queen Olivia, Princess Doria!"

As for Sunny and Victor, who was disguised as a Sky Knight, Avril paid them no further mind.

While Avril was greeting everyone, Arthur also began to size her up.

Having seen many beauties, Arthur was not surprised by Avril's appearance, but her strength as an Earth Knight gave him a few suspicions.

It must be that Avril had relied on the geographical advantage of the Lionheart Kingdom to purchase dragon blood at the Lionheart Merchant Guild headquarters.

Otherwise, Avril, who was only at Silver Rank a few months ago, could not have achieved consecutive Breakthroughs to become an Earth Knight.

After finishing his assessment, Arthur teased:

"Young Miss Avril, are you waiting here specifically for me?"

Hearing this, Avril smiled brightly:

"Of course. King Arthur is my important business partner. Now that you have come to Dawn City to attend the auction, I consider myself half a host, so naturally, I must take good care of you!"

"Besides, if I let others host you and they neglect you, how could I still hope to cooperate with you?"

Arthur knew that Avril just wanted to build a good relationship with him, so he laughed and said:

"Alright, then we will leave the arrangements to you!"

"It is a great honor!"

While Avril and Arthur's group were chatting happily, the crowd, who had been paying attention to Avril's unusual behavior, shifted their gazes to Arthur.

They wanted to see what kind of person could make Avril, now an Elder of the Dawn Merchant Guild, care so much.

Then they discovered that beside the man Avril cared so much about, there were actually four peerless beauties whose looks were no less than hers, yet each possessed a different temperament.

For a moment, disbelief, jealousy... all sorts of emotions erupted in everyone's minds.

Then, observing Arthur's appearance, they could only say he was relatively handsome, but not handsome to the point of being earth-shattering!

How could so many beauties revolve around him?

For a time, everyone kept complaining inwardly.

They then concluded that he must be a second-generation heir with an incredible background; otherwise, how could he have such ability!

It really makes one shake with cold anger; why didn't they have such a good father!

In fact, everyone misunderstood Arthur as a second-generation heir, mainly because he was too young!

Arthur's group did not care what others thought. Under Avril's guidance, Arthur didn't even need to show an invitation and entered the auction house directly!

Avril led the way while introducing:

"The Dawn Auction House we are in categorizes auction attendees into three Ranks: ordinary personnel sitting in the bottom hall, VIPs arranged in the second-floor boxes, and Super VIPs arranged in the top-floor large boxes."

"King Arthur is naturally a Super VIP of the Dawn Merchant Guild, so we are now heading to the top-floor box."

"Then many thanks for Young Miss Avril's arrangements!"

Listening to Avril's introduction, Arthur combined it with his own observations inside and outside the Dawn Auction House.

He discovered that the entire auction house was essentially a semi-circular structure, with the raised platform for auction items on the straight side.

And the auction attendees were located on the curved side.

The bottom layer of the curved side was a stepped hall, where it could be seen that the ordinary auction attendees were located.

Above the stepped hall, connecting to the dome, the Dawn Merchant Guild had used some special means to build two levels of rooms.

Each room on the first level was only about thirty square meters, while each room on the second level was at least one hundred square meters.

These must be the two types of boxes Avril mentioned.

These two levels of boxes were at least twenty meters high from the hall, so it wouldn't make the area below feel oppressive.

Taking a special path, Arthur's group of seven arrived directly at the No. 3 large box on the top floor.

Having arrived here, Avril's duties were almost complete.

However, this was one of the few opportunities to spend time with the high-level figures of the Lionheart Kingdom, namely Arthur's group, and improve their relationship.

Avril would not miss it, so she continued, thick-skinned:

"To ensure everyone has a better experience, I will accompany you in the VIP room from now on. If you have any needs, just let me know!"

Arthur understood Avril's intentions. For such a beauty fawning over him, there was no reason for Arthur to force her away.

Moreover, Arthur actually had one matter he needed Avril's help with, which was the matter of redeeming Sunny.

He spoke directly:

"Come to think of it, I do have one thing I need Young Miss Avril's help with."

As he said this, Arthur cast his gaze towards Sunny, who had almost no presence just now:

"This person is named Sunny, originally an employee sent by your Dawn Merchant Guild to help us familiarize ourselves with the environment."

"After spending a day together, we have developed some affection. Now I would like to redeem her; is that possible?"

Hearing Arthur ask her for help, only for such a trivial matter, Avril didn't know whether to be happy or annoyed.

Because the favor requested was too small, the debt of gratitude Arthur owed would not be much, what a pity!

But helping a little was better than nothing:

"This is not a problem at all. I will make the decision for the guild directly. From now on, Sunny will follow you!"

"I will bring the indenture contract tomorrow!"

At the same time, the look Avril gave Sunny held a hint of emotion.

This girl was truly lucky to have met Arthur and the others; she would have a good life from now on!

Hearing this, Arthur smiled:

"Alright, then that is trouble for you!"

Afterwards, Arthur thought that he had come to attend the auction with the intention of selling some items in exchange for gold coins.

But as soon as he arrived, he was dragged away by Doria to go shopping, and he hadn't consigned anything for auction yet.

Arthur didn't take this matter to heart, mainly because he already had the Lionheart Merchant Guild, which could earn a large amount of gold coins every month.

And even if he bid on items at the auction now, he couldn't be too extravagant at one time, and he wouldn't earn much money.

But if he could earn some, he would. Holding this thought, Arthur looked at Avril:

"Avril, I wonder if the auction still accepts consignment services now?"

"Consignment services? Does King Arthur want to consign items!"

"This is of course welcome, as long as the consigned items meet the standard!"

Then Avril looked at Arthur with expectant eyes, having a faint premonition in her heart that the things Arthur would take out would definitely not be simple.

The rarer and more precious the items sold at the auction, the greater the boost to the auction house's reputation.

So Avril hoped that Arthur could take out good things.

Under Avril's nervous gaze, two items suddenly appeared in Arthur's hands: two fist-sized water-blue rhombus crystals and three red and yellow scrolls.

"This is?"

"Two Dragon crystals from a water-type Legendary Dragon and three forbidden curse scrolls: Meteor Shower!"
