Chapter 45

Viola closed the door and left, Ren heard her footsteps, entered the elevator and went downstairs.

He got up and clenched his fists to make a successful gesture. He said "yeah" and couldn't restrain the excitement on his face anymore. He walked around the room, not thinking about practicing the piano at all.

If it wasn't for the fear of being heard, he would have wanted to shout and vent his joy.

Is there anything more exciting in the world than being favored by a beautiful woman? And she is a peerless beauty, I already have thoughts about her!

Although Viola has not made it clear yet, her demeanor and emotion, as well as her initiative to teach herself to play the piano, are enough to show that she has a good impression of herself.

Throughout the afternoon, the communication between the two was in that hazy and vague state, quite ambiguous.

This feeling reminded Ren of his first love in his previous life, full of expectations, but afraid that it was just a dream.

He went back to the organ and sat down. He played the keys casually with his fingers. There was no tune. He just pressed a few keys individually to produce monotonous notes.

As the notes beat, Ren gradually calmed down and his thinking became clear.

Maybe my own conditions are really good, an absolute potential stock, and qualified to seduce the opposite sex, even a beauty like Viola. The gap in strength, status, family background and age is a bit abnormal.

Viola's emotions should be real, which can be seen from the state of her soul.

However, even if she has ideas, she shouldn't be so eager.

At least she needs to get in touch for a while before acting, instead of being easily dazzled by love like a girl who has not been involved in the world.

Being able to run the Violet House and being a sixth-level wizard, Viola would never be so hasty.

Unless she has other reasons.

Ren suddenly discovered that his understanding of Viola was very limited. He didn't know her background, what her full name was, her family background, or even whether she was married. It was impossible to guess her real purpose in a short while.

"I have to be a little more cautious, not to use the upper brain of the sperm."

Ren warned himself, his mind suddenly became lighter, so he opened the music score, chose a piece of music at random, and began to practice the piano seriously.

Not long after, Viola came back.

She also seemed to realize that she had gone too far, so she deliberately sat a little farther away, her expression was still so casual and natural, but with a sense of distance, she said: "Ren, the fair will start later, you will come in with me later field."

"Okay, is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Ren asked with a nod.

"You're just here at night to learn more and make friends. If you don't buy anything, just watch the fun."

Viola probably introduced the rules of the trade fair to Rennes.

This is actually a gathering among extraordinary people initiated by the Violet House. The participants are generally the customers of the Viola House, and there are also friends Viola knows, or friends of friends, who are invited to come.

The Violet House provides venues and services, and guests can walk around and communicate with other people in a similar way to a banquet.

It's just that at this banquet, people trade at the same time.

The Violet House first displays some products, which are usually of high value, like an auction, and the highest bidder wins, taking the opportunity to sell some things that are usually difficult to get rid of.

For example, the Soul Melting Seed that Rennes bought, in fact, Viola showed it several times at the trade fair. It was initially priced at 3,000 gold shields, but then the price dropped again and again until it dropped to 1,500 gold shields, but no one bought it.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that most of the guests participating in the trade fair are already extraordinary, and there is no need for the soul-melting seed at all.

Moreover, there are very few people who are willing to become battle wizards, so it is normal that they cannot be sold.

The highlight of the trade fair is what the guests bring.

Most guests bring at least a few valuable items with them to try to sell to a desired buyer for a bigger profit, or to find something they've been waiting for.

There is no limit to the type and price of items traded, weapons and armor, magic souls, alchemy items, sigils, soul crystals, potions, mounts, cards of all spirits, rare materials, gems, luxury goods, knowledge, real estate title deeds, company shares, as long as Anything that is valuable can be traded here.

Of course, as the sponsor, the Violet House also shoulders the responsibility of identifying the authenticity and pricing of the items.

For all transactions concluded, the Violet House will charge a service fee, calculated as 5% of the transaction price, half of which will be paid by both parties.

There are also some customers who, in order to save the service fee, will conclude a deal with the other party in private.

This kind of situation is rare, because there is no guarantee from the organizer, it is easy to be deceived, and the loss outweighs the gain. Therefore, for the sake of safety, most of the guests are willing to pay the service fee.

Sometimes, a trade fair can earn the organizer thousands of gold shields in service fees.

However, there are advantages and disadvantages, and such a trade fair also has a lot of risks. If the identification is wrong and the eyes are wrong, then the organizer will have to compensate for the loss.

If you are unlucky, a loss will lead to blood loss, and even ruin your reputation.

Trade fairs like this are common throughout the empire, and they test the organizer's connections and vision.

Without contacts, so many guests cannot be invited to participate; without vision, it will often lose money and fail to run.

The Violet House fair has been held for almost three years, and there is one every month. Relying on the appraisal team hired by Viola with a high salary, almost no mistakes have been made, so a good relationship has been established among the extraordinary people in Longshande. Word of mouth also brought Viola a lot of money.

According to Viola herself, more than half of her store's profits come from trade fairs.

Ren was a little surprised that she even told herself this business secret.

"That's the rule of the trade fair, it's very simple."

Viola said with a smile: "As for social etiquette, you don't have to worry about it. It's not the early aristocratic era. Most of the customers are superhumans, so they don't pay much attention. If you are hungry, food and wine are carefully prepared at the fair." , tastes good, but don't drink too much."

Ren nodded in understanding.

At this time, a waitress came up to remind me that it was time.

"Let's go down."

Ren went downstairs with Viola. The trade fair was held in the hall on the third floor. When the two came out of the elevator, they immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

The spacious hall is illuminated by crystal lamps, just like daytime.

There are nearly a hundred guests in the hall, most of them are men. Most of the men are well-dressed, while the women are well-dressed. Of course, there are some people who don't like formal attire. They wear all kinds of spellcaster robes and armor, and even casually wear casual clothes.

Renn looked at it at a glance, and he could tell without the eyes of the soul that almost all the people present were superhumans.

Because there may be a legendary powerhouse, he didn't open the eyes of the soul to look around.

It's not possible, but there must be.

Viola said that every time she holds a trade fair, she invites a legendary wizard to sit in the audience to avoid any trouble, but she did not disclose the identity of the legendary wizard.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Viola.

Ren noticed their eyes, especially the men, admiring, admiring, looking up, and more of admiration. Even a superhuman could hardly resist Viola's charm.

She is like a beam of light, no matter where she goes, she will become the focus of the audience.

Ren felt as if he was shrouded in light, even though he was only a step away from Viola, standing beside her, half a head taller than her, few people noticed him.

"Good evening, everyone."

Viola has long been used to this kind of gaze, walked to the crowd, said hello to the guests, and immediately announced the start of the trade fair.

The waitresses of the Violet House entered the stage neatly. They walked to the front of the rows of shelves covered with black cloth, lifted the black cloth, and revealed glass counters, which displayed the things that would be sold today.

The hall gradually became noisy, and the guests surrounded the glass cabinets and asked the waitresses questions.

Every waitress has been trained, each of them is responsible for one thing, and they take the trouble to answer questions for the guests, and if there is something they don't understand, they can ask the appraiser in the store for advice.

Ren saw the appraisers of the Violet House. There were three people in total, two men and one woman, all of whom were not young Transcendents.

The leader is an old man with white hair, glasses, and a bookish atmosphere. He looks like a professor in the academy, but he is actually a seventh-level wizard.

Listening to the waitress' introduction to the guests, this old wizard is called Levinster, from Silver Star Academy, a well-known polymath in Longshande, and an expert in identification.

The other two appraisers are slightly younger and each has their own strengths, but they are not as famous as Levinster.

Viola took Ryan to greet the guests, and after a few casual conversations, introduced Ryan to them.

These guests all come from a considerable background, nobles, teachers from Silver Star Academy, members of the wizard tower, officials from the city hall, rich men, businessmen, powerful transcendents, famous wizards and so on.

In Viola's introduction, Ren is her very good friend.

People couldn't hide their surprise, because Viola had never introduced any friends to others before, let alone a young and handsome man.

When they heard that Ren was a wizard, their eyes became even more surprised.

Ren's body shape and temperament, he is tall and muscular, he looks like an iron guard, not a wizard at all.

However, due to Viola's face, most of the guests greeted Ren in a friendly manner, and secretly wrote down Ren's name.

There are also a few people who make no secret of their hostility towards Rennes.

They had been paying attention to Viola's movements, and before she introduced her face to face, they found that Ren had a close relationship with her, so they cast angry glances at Ren.

This made Ren a little helpless, inexplicably there were a few more rivals in love, and none of them were easy to mess with.

"Viola let me enter her circle of friends with good intentions, but it turned out to be the opposite. I haven't met a few friends yet, but I have made a lot of enemies first..."

"It's really a disaster for a beauty!"

Ryan bit the bullet and continued with Viola. She was about to introduce the middle-aged man in front of her, but found that she knew him and had his business card.

"Mr. Keneji." Ryan greeted one step ahead.

The middle-aged man is exactly the Keneji I met a few days ago. He is dressed in a straight suit, his hair is neatly combed back, he has a gentle temperament, and his eyes are extremely energetic. He looks like an impeccable and elegant gentleman .

Kenieji took a careful look at Ren, and exclaimed: "I haven't seen you for a few days, you have really changed a lot."

"Ren, do you know Vice President Keneji?" Viola was a little surprised. Ren was just an ordinary student before, so how could he know the vice president of the Mechanics Union.

"We met a few days ago." Ren replied to her, turned to Keneji again, and said seriously, "I'm already a wizard."

Keneji nodded slightly and said, "I know you will succeed, but I still want to congratulate you."
