Hearing this message, Li Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing this, the undead marquis continued, "Actually, the Duke and I didn't expect you to have such strength. It seems that you are prepared tonight and are ready to increase your troops?"

Li Ran waved his hand and said, "I dare not, I dare not. I came here and heard Lord Neiroren say that there is such a party. If you can deal with some unnecessary troops or exchange them for some, it is naturally the best. If you don't have one, just come and open your eyes."

After chatting for a few words, he saw someone coming over and seemed to have something to discuss with Marquis Wu Enfes. Seeing this, Li Ran bowed slightly and left here.

Just as Wu Enfes said, although he was quite famous in the empire after a battle with Pokuchi, many people here still didn't know him at all. When they saw Neiroren and Repol and others chatting and laughing in the distance, Li Ran simply took his teammates to a quieter place. While eating the free drinks on the table, he observed the people present.

Through observation, Li Ran and others found that although the people present were wandering around and seemed to be chatting and discussing with the people they knew around them casually, they inadvertently recognized their location. If they looked down from the lobby at this time, they would find this strange phenomenon.

Headed by the three major dukes, their subordinate city lords and leaders of various tribes gathered around them, spreading with titles and fame, forming three circles of power here. Near the front of the right, there were three marquises, and many city lords were also gathered around them, as well as many important personnel from the capital. Among them, the most eye-catching one is the military and political chief Toltayle.

He is said to be eye-catching, in fact, in addition to his identity, he is also a majestic and huge body. He is a barbarian lion-faced hero who has been following the king since he was young. Although he is about to enter his twilight years, his political skills are becoming more and more powerful. In addition, he is already strict and controls more than 70% of the troops in the capital, so no matter who he is, he is respectful to him.

Of course, there are also some people who come in and out of these forces but do not stay. They usually appear in a small group situation, ranging from a few or a dozen people, and handle the distance and relationship with these major forces cautiously and subtly.

Originally, I wanted to stay out of this, but after the Lord of Neiroren came over, he said a few words, and Li Ran had to follow him, but stopped Zhao Lanlan and others from following him. Even Xia Houben was left in place by him.

Through the introduction of the city lord Neiroren, Li Ran and these people also got to know each other. After learning that this person was the city lord Thun who defeated Pokuchi, coupled with the praise of Marquis Adresa, except for Erindir in the crowd, the others were very polite.

At this moment, Lei Bodu suddenly greeted Li Ran from afar. In the eyes of everyone, Li Ran had to salute the people around him, especially Duke Nol, and walked towards Lei Bodu.

Through this person's introduction, Li Ran solemnly expressed his gratitude to Toltayle. Although it was the king's business to enthrone the title, after all, without his consent, his identity as a viscount may not be able to be so quickly.

Next, under Lei Bodo's introduction, Li Ran also met these people. For the person who could defeat Pokuchi, the Lion-faced hero, the military and political chief of the empire, stared at Li Ran for a while, nodded slightly and said with a good voice.

Knowing that this man has always been a pampering word, it is a very rare thing for him to say two good words in person, so everyone, including the three marquises, also curiously inquired about the process of the battle with Li Ran.

Li Ran had answered these curious inquiries several times, and he also spoke out loudly at this time, interspersing self-deprecation from time to time, which attracted a burst of laughter from everyone.

Fortunately, after a short while, after a dwarf walked to the oratorium in the hall and announced that the auction began, everyone walked to the venue on the right.

This is an auction hall that is even more spacious than the banquet hall just now. Although the seats are not marked with names, there is no need for etiquette personnel to arrange them. These people have sat backwards according to their default habits and their respective identities and titles.

As a viscount, Li Ran should have sat in the middle of the row among these many people, but at the warm invitation of Lord Nairoren and Earl Marcorio, he also sat helplessly beside them.

The person who hosted the auction this time was a human elder. After some introduction, he exhibited the first auction item tonight, a legendary exquisite staff with a low price of 300,000 gold coins.

For ordinary people, 300,000 gold coins may be astronomical, but most of them were overlords at this time, so this little money was naturally no problem. So after the detailed explanation of the human auctioneer, the price was soon pushed to 600,000, which doubled the price.

In the end, this legendary staff was taken down by an earl, and this person was a human wizard who was very suitable for this staff.

Next, the auctioneer took out dozens of exquisite equipment in a row, including equipment that was more powerful than the first staff attribute, and sold them at high prices one by one. During this period, Count Neroren also took action once, and he was attracted to a robe, but in the end he was a marquis in the Medenachi camp, he was finally sold at an extra price.

"This guy must have done it on purpose. He is a human knight. It's useless to ask this robe that adds power of nature." Marcorio said with some conscience.

Turning around and looking at Nairo Ren shook his head a little depressedly, Li Ran seemed to understand something. Next, the auctioneer on the stage took out many valuable and diverse items for auction, including equipment, weapons, rare ores, elemental crystals, and even priceless treasures.

Although Li Ran also liked several of these auction items, for example, the one he most wanted to take was a totem statue that was placed in the training ground that could increase the chances of advancement of barbarian warriors within 500 meters around.

This is a statue of a barbarian creature made of strange wood with divine power. Li Ran originally wanted to buy it and put it in the training camp of the Losso clan or the Taurus clan, so that they can increase their chances of advancement. After all, these two races are now the two most powerful legions of their current, and their number of advancements directly determines his combat ability in the front battlefield in the war.

But he didn't have much gold coins on him. As soon as this thing came out, he was attracted by many barbarian city lords and leaders. The price was too high, so Li Ran had to give up regretfully.
