Ethan's auction is finally about to begin.
After so many days of warm-up, his auction has reached the last day in the countdown, amid great anticipation.
This ti it's a big day, so the auction isn't being held at the previous Sobis Auction House.
Although Sobis Auction House is also a well-known auction house and isn't lacking in style.
But after all, Ethan's warm-up this ti has been too long, with too many big figures coming, and moreover, he has a certain connection with Princess Aine Beize.
The Princess also helped to promote it.
Ethan conveniently reciprocated by turning this auction into a semi-charitable event.
He has already announced the format of his auction and the subsequent utilization of the auction funds over the past two days.
Thirty percent of it will be used as relief funds for Moerma, to help those in need.
So this auction is also called the Moerma Charity Auction.
Besides Ethan's paintings as the main auction pieces, many important figures have also contributed items.
For example, Princess Aine Beize donated so of her collections.
Subsequently, Jackson, Pupol, and Azertu all made donations.
It can be said the hype continues to rise.
Now, it's not just simply Ethan's auction anymore.
Thus, the venue chosen was the Kingdom Grand Hotel located in the Central District.
This is the oldest hotel in the Royal Capital, having existed since the city's founding, and has always been royal property, hosting many important etings and events.
It can be said that holding an auction at this hotel is a certain degree of honor.
Jackson is naturally the most excited. He never dread he could hold an auction at the Kingdom Grand Hotel in his lifeti.
These days, he's entirely absorbed, nearly living in the hotel, fearing any mishaps when the ti cos.
As for Ethan himself, he's quite relaxed.
Anyway, everything is being handled by Jackson and a series of other people; he doesn't need to really get involved.
These days, aside from necessary outings, he's mostly at ho writing scripts.
He's even co up with a new idea, to take the opportunity to promote his audio films at the auction.
Of course, it's just a concept.
But these are opportunities.
The only thing Ethan needs to worry about is recognizing people in advance.
Besides the Royal Capital's elite, distinguished figures, he also needs to et guests from outside the Royal Capital, mainly those big farm owners from the south and those erging chanical nouveau riche from the central region.
Fortunately, since Ethan received the 'True God's Na,' his strength and endurance have improved, and his mory has reached a virtually photographic level, so morizing so lists and photos is just a matter of leisure.
"Let's start the questions: Lewis, who is he, where's he from, what does he roughly look like, you must answer within ten seconds!"
Sofia has been sneaking back from school these days; though you can't really call it sneaking, she truly has no classes these days.
But Ethan still made things a bit tricky for her, checked on her recent coursework.
In this aspect, Ethan is authoritative, having attended the Kingdom Art Academy, where his grades were among the top.
As a result, Sofia was teased into a bundle of trouble, and ultimately pleaded for rcy to be let off.
So, she imdiately turned to get back at Ethan.
Her recent questions involved nas on Ethan's morized list.
Upon hearing the na Lewis, Ethan unconsciously smiled, recalling a certain acquaintance he once faced off against in Wenster.
That really seed like it was a long ti ago.
"Lewis, huh? Let think... Well, he's in the coal business, from Hanak in the central region, full na Lewis Durlek, right? A round-headed chubby man, bald, with a mole on his face, is that it?"
Ethan closed his eyes in thought and then smiled as he spoke.
"Let see..."
After hearing, Sofia herself didn't rember, so she quickly rummaged through the docunts, growing progressively displeased the more she flipped.
"How about it, right or wrong?"
Amused, Ethan asked.
"Wrong, completely wrong, try again."
Sofia wrinkled her nose, grunted.
"Alright, let's do it again."
Ethan didn't reveal the truth but indicated to try once more with a smile.
"Listen carefully: the next one is Dylan, who is this person, where is he from, what does he look like, what is his favorite food, and what's his favorite weather?"
Clearly, this ti Sofia heightened the difficulty, or rather she's deliberately challenging Ethan. Asking what soone likes to eat is one thing, but inquiring about their favorite weather is sothing hardly anyone knows.
Fortunately, Ethan's mory and analytical ability are both good. He recalled the person liked to fish by the lake in the evening.
Considering fishing, evening, lakeside, the person probably prefers the refreshing spring days without rain.
After hearing Ethan's answer, Sofia was stunned.
"How do you know, you must have made that up, because I didn't even..."
Sofia quickly stopped speaking, realizing she had let sothing slip.
The files didn't actually record this, but Sofia instinctively thought Ethan was probably right.
"Unfair! Unfair! You cheated!"
So, she started her usual technique of feigning ignorance.
"The fact is, you lost."
Anya delivered the afternoon tea and promptly dealt a sharp blow.
"Pay your dues, you can't go out today; stay ho and help with work."
Ethan took a sip of coffee, smiling as he spoke.
Originally, Sofia wanted to go out and have fun, having attended classes for so long.
What Ethan referred to as work, is having Sofia help him draw character concept art for his movie, to display at the auction later.
"I don't wanna! I want to go out and play..."
Sofia pleaded pitifully.
But ultimately, she couldn't resist Ethan's sly tactics and had to obediently beco a little art assistant.
Yet in the end, Ethan didn't really an to make it difficult for her, and by evening, he still took her to a restaurant she'd been eager to visit for a long ti and then strolled around.
However, recalling the list for the auction included that lady's na, Ethan instinctively recalled a conversation on a carriage that evening.
"Sofia, what do you plan to do after your study tour ends?"
Sofia was at that mont dragging Anya's hand, urging a street photographer to take pictures of them.
The young man looked very helpless, but seeing their youthful appearance, instinctively opened the shutter.
Upon hearing Ethan's question, Sofia didn't initially react, instinctively replied: "What? I didn't hear, quickly co, together!"
The night is about to end.
