Night fell.
Lights lit up, replacing the sun to once again illuminate the land.
Under the curtain of the night, Wallfor looked even more beautiful. Not only were the buildings on both sides of the river lit up, but the boats on the river also lit up their lanterns. The moving lights flowed along the river, forming a beautiful river of light from afar.
The hustle and bustle of the day seemed to have completely disappeared, replaced by another form of prosperity and liveliness that belonged exclusively to the night.
The carriage passed through Third Avenue and slowly stopped in front of a building at the end of the avenue.
Soon, a well-dressed attendant came forward and opened the door respectfully. Then, he lowered his head and welcomed the arrival of the distinguished guest.
Jenn alighted from the carriage and looked up.
In front of him was a three-story building that resembled the ancient Roman Colosseum. However, compared to the open-air Colosseum, this building had an arc-shaped dome.
The entire building was brightly lit, and under the illumination of the flames, even the fountain in front shone with a golden brilliance. At first glance, it looked as though it was made of gold.
Radiance Fountain, the home of wealth.
This was a warehouse of money and the cradle of wealth. Everyone who entered and exited here was a distinguished guest with a status that couldn't be underestimated.
Of course, Jenn also knew that the Radiance Fountain wasn't just a product of a region's self-entertainment. On the contrary, as a place frequented by high-class nobles, those who were qualified to step into this building were all respectable people with no exceptions.
Frankly speaking, it wasn't easy for Jenn to enter this place with his status.
After all, although he had a good reputation, he still needed someone to recommend him to be able to enter such an event.
As for Jenn, he didn't have any connections in the Eagle Plateau, so naturally, he couldn't find someone to recommend him to join.
In fact, this was just an accident. As a token of appreciation for Jenn sending his men to protect Daly, Old Packwood wrote a recommendation letter and gave Jenn a "membership card" to enter the Radiance Fountain.
Of course, this was a common courtesy among the nobles, but Jenn knew that things wouldn't be that simple.
One had to know that the Radiant Fountain wasn't just located in Waford, but also in the other two major cities on the Eagle Plateau.
Moreover, that old fart had deliberately written a recommendation letter from Wafer. It was clear that he wanted him to give Soros a hard time.
However, Jenn didn't care. After all, both sides were using each other to get what they needed.
But I'm afraid you can't afford to play … Old man …
Thinking of this, Zayen collected his thoughts and reached into his pocket to take out the invitation.
The waiter respectfully reached out his hand to receive the invitation. He quickly opened it and glanced at the name on it. Then, his expression changed slightly, and the waiter lowered his head deeply and bowed respectfully to Zayen.
"On behalf of the Radiant Fountain Chamber of Commerce, I welcome you. I hope you'll have a wonderful night here, Mr. Jenn Barxianon Mens."
As he spoke, the waiter turned to the side and made an inviting gesture.
"Please follow me."
Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, the interior of the Radiant Fountain was extremely quiet. The design was similar to that of a five-star hotel. Thick, fluffy carpets were laid on the ground, and on both sides were lanterns decorated with expensive luminous pearls.
The soft light illuminated the dim corridor as though one was in the clouds.
The decorations on display at the side all exuded a luxurious aura.
Irene widened her eyes in surprise, gazing curiously at everything before her.
Although their life in the monastery should be extremely luxurious, it was different from the Radiant Fountain.
But this was different from the Radiant Fountain. The monastery was clean, refined, and elegant.
In the Radiant Fountain, it represented the most naked desire in the depths of the human heart. Everything here existed for the ultimate goal of enjoyment. Just being in it would make people feel a kind of sweet, dark warmth and temptation.
The interior of the Radiant Fountain was divided into five floors. The bottom three floors were prepared for wealthy merchants and local tyrants. Among them were some wealthy merchants and leaders of various organizations such as the Bandit Group, the Mercenary Association, and other such organizations and individuals.
The middle fourth floor was prepared for those with a certain status. As for the top floor, only the noblest guests — like the patriarch of the Papwood Family — were qualified to sit there.
However, as the information of each private room was strictly confidential, most people didn't know about it.
In fact, according to Jenn's current identity, it was more than enough for him to sit in the top floor.
But since the matter of Parsus' independence hadn't been exposed, Jenn was happy to put on an act.
Anyway, to him, attending this auction was just a spur of the moment. It was like bringing his family out to play, strolling in a water park, watching a movie, and having a meal.
Similarly, since he was already in Wallfor, it wasn't incomprehensible for him to come to the Radiant Fountain's auction.
Of course, apart from that, Jenn had another reason for coming here.
It was obviously a wise choice to deal with the stolen goods in his hands through the auction.
As a well-developed and convenient city, Wallfor naturally gathered a lot of strange treasures from all over the world. Although this place wasn't as flourishing as the real big countries, it was considered quite good in terms of its scale.
Jenn came to the auction for two reasons. Firstly, he wanted to watch the excitement, and secondly, he wanted to see if he could buy anything interesting.
Although as an underground city lord, Jenn could also plunder a lot of treasures, it was a pity that he was limited by his identity and didn't dare to use them.
Just like in Golden City, Jenn seized the magical sword, Blade Fang, which was considered quite good and was comparable to the Aquamarine Light in Jenn's hand.
But Zayen did not dare to take it out and use it, because everyone knew that the Blade Fang was Covos' sword, and now that the City of Gold had fallen, if Zayen were to suddenly have the Blade Fang in his hands, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Jenn naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing, so the best way was to purchase it through legal channels. This way, things would be much more convenient, and he wouldn't have to worry about being found out.
The Radiance Fountain arranged a private room on the fourth floor for Jenn's group. The entire private room looked luxurious and comfortable. The soft and spacious sofa, the ebony furniture, and the bearskin carpet added a hint of luxury to the room that was enveloped in a gentle magical radiance.
Apart from that, there were various beverages and special snacks placed at the side. Velvet curtains woven with beautiful patterns hung down to the floor, shielding the owner of the room from prying eyes from the outside.
On the study table at the side, there was a brochure of the auction item. Looking at it, even Jenn couldn't help but exclaim that the Radiance Fountain had some capabilities to be able to achieve such a huge undertaking.
Just by looking at the design of this place, it gave people a rather comfortable feeling.
From this point, it could be seen that the Radiance Fountain had done a rather good job.
At this moment, Enoya walked into the room and closed the door.
"It's done, Master."
"How is it?"
Upon hearing Enoya's report, Jenn glanced at the bustling crowd waiting for the auction to begin and asked casually.
"The other party is very satisfied with the gifts we submitted. They have decided to temporarily add some items to the auction, and our auction item is among them.
They didn't ask about the origins of these items, and they didn't pester us about our identity. "
"I knew it."
Upon hearing this, Jenn shrugged.
This time, he came to the Radiance Fountain as a guest, so he naturally couldn't come empty-handed.
In fact, Jenn was very clear that on such occasions, every new member had to come up with an auction item to prove their worth.
Naturally, Jenn was no exception. Although the items from Golden City weren't suitable to be auctioned here, Jenn's spoils of war weren't limited to those.
In fact, this time, he entrusted Enoya to bring out a small portion of the spoils of war that Jenn had stolen in the City of Gray Dwarves.
These things were expensive in the Underdark, and naturally, they would be even more expensive on the surface.
After all, these were the gray dwarf's collection. In fact, when Zayen first took out those gadgets, the person in charge of the Fountain of Light's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. From this, it could be seen that these things were still very popular on the surface.
At this thought, Jenn crossed his arms and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
This was a good experiment. This way, he could sell the things on the surface to the underground, and then transport the underground goods to the surface to sell, thus earning huge profits.
(And it would be 100% huge profits. After all, Jenn robbed … A business with no capital is better than anything else.)
Of course, this also required enough spoils of war … Hmm, the dark elves still had a lot of hidden goods, so it shouldn't be a problem.
But it wasn't good to just sit around and eat. It seemed that he had to come up with the next step of his plan.
At this thought, Jenn couldn't help but stretch out his hand and gently knocked on the table.
Perhaps the lair of the Mind Flayer would be a good choice?
Just as Jenn was considering whether to plunder the octopus head, the lights in the entire auction hall suddenly dimmed. Shortly after, a series of crisp bells sounded, and the noise from below quickly disappeared.
At this moment, Jenn propped himself up and looked down at the central platform.
It seemed that the auction was about to begin.
