System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1135 New Idea

In front of the auction house, a lot of people suddenly stood still, looking at the two people who had just made their appearance.

"Is that…"

"Yeah. I think they are the ones…"

"Don't tell me. The rumor is true?"

"So the Ardagan family has also come to this place?"

Yes, the ones who had just come out of their carriage were none other than Noel and Anna. In addition, their carriage looked so different that the people had a hard time choosing whether to look at them or the carriage.

"That carriage… No one was driving it."

"Don't tell me, they were the ones who drove it?"

"What? A noble is driving their own carriage?"

"But isn't it amazing? I mean, if you can drive it yourself, it will be like riding a horse by yourself but more secure because it's a carriage."

Still, there were some mixed opinions regarding the car. On the one hand, it was a great tool to bring someone from one place to another at high speed. On the other hand, once they had money, they would ask someone to drive the carriage for them.

Noel obviously knew about it, and that was why he believed that the job wouldn't disappear because of his invention. He also thought about changing the design to allow it.

Currently, the car only has two seats because of its design. Getting more seats would just cause it to need more spiritual energy.

Of course, the 'car' that brought them here was just a normal carriage they bought in this city. Their original car was destroyed by Yesley after all. Noel just bought a carriage that had a similar shape and slapped a rune on it. This way, it could move without a horse even though it was far less convenient than their car.

However, as an advertisement, it was a success, as it already piqued people's interest.

Noel and Anna walked toward the entrance, ignoring their reactions. Noel showed the invitation to the staff and immediately guided them inside.

"Welcome, Marquis Noel Ardagan and Lady Anna Stargaze. We're honored by your presence." A beautiful woman was already waiting in front of their door and politely greeted them with a bow. "I am Hilda. I'll be your assistant in this auction. If you have any questions regarding the auction, you can ask me. I can also bid in your stead if you wish."

Noel nodded. "Mhmm. I'll just take a look at the auction for the time being. Is it started yet?" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Yes, sir. Two items have been sold." Hilda opened the door and extended her hand. "Please follow me."

Noel and Anna were considered VIPs. They received a private room.

When Noel and Anna entered, they could see at least nine more VIP rooms. Their room was quite bright, but surprisingly, it was quite hard to see things from the other rooms because the window was black.

"Hmm." Noel squinted his eyes. If he tried, he could see them. However, normal people surely couldn't see past it.

"Is there something wrong?" Hilda's heart skipped a beat. She was instructed not to displease Noel, so she ensured that this room didn't have any mistakes. She was afraid that if Noel didn't like the room, her life would be in danger.

"Something piques your interest?" Anna asked lightly while sitting down on her seat. She even opened the catalog, acting as if this were her home.

Noel approached the window. This room wasn't too big, but the entire front part was actually a window. In addition, it was a window that could block someone's view. "It's quite hard to see the other rooms. What kind of trick is this?"

"Ah!" Hilda's heart was at ease after knowing the problem. "Allow me to explain, this mirror came from the Atracaeca Kingdom, and it was customized to match the room's size. However, there was another layer of protective screen that was added on top of the mirror.

"This layer would protect the identity of the person inside the VIP Room to protect the privacy of our VIPs."

"Is something like this common?" Noel asked.

"It can be said to be uncommon, but a lot of auction houses use it for the same purpose."

"I see. But if it's too dark, doesn't that mean the host can't see our bid?" Noel pointed at the person on stage who was currently introducing an item.

"Indeed. Some auction houses that use this protective screen actually order the screen to be a bit lighter in color so that people can still see them from the outside. However, it's still dark enough to make it hard for people to see inside. Meanwhile, our auction house is using a different method." Hilda walked to the right side of the window. "Please take a look at this."

Noel turned his head around, finding a small spot where the window wasn't protected.

"This is usually where we place our bids. The room is not soundproof as well, so you can also shout your bid since it's part of the excitement during the auction."

"Interesting." Noel nodded and finally took a seat. He checked the catalog first before asking, "Can I get something to drink?"

"Of course, sir."

"You want something?" Noel glanced at Anna.

Instead of answering Noel's question, she turned to Hilda instead. "Do you have any recommendations for tea?"

"If that's the case, I'd recommend Black Pearl Tea. It has a strong aroma but a mild taste. It's a perfect tea to calm one's heart."

"In that case, I'll take that." Anna nodded.

"Make it two." Noel smiled playfully.

"Understood." Hilda hurriedly exited the room. On the other hand, Anna's expression suddenly turned serious as she couldn't help but ask, "So, you're thinking of using this protective screen or something? It looks like you're interested in it."

"Is it something we can purchase easily?" Noel answered her with another question.

"I'm not too sure. It's not like we can really ask the staff about it, lest they use it to their advantage. Isn't that why you send her away by deliberately asking for a drink?"

"Haha. Is it that obvious? But yes, I'm wondering if we can use this in the car or passenger train. I mean, we can see easily from the inside, but it's hard to see from the outside, right? We can use this protective screen in a different way, depending on their darkness." Noel grinned. "Besides, nobles love privacy, right?"

"So that's what you've been thinking the whole time." Anna sighed. "If it's something hard to get, we can use it for a high-

class car for nobles. If it's easy to mass produce, we can apply it to normal cars as well."

"Yep. The problem is that… because of this protective screen, we need to change a few laws. I mean, it will be a problem if someone uses a screen this dark and drives to our city, carrying more than 10 Meteor Rune Cards, don't you think? What if, because we can't see it, they explode and harm civilians?"

"I see. That's indeed dangerous. Even if we don't come up with this screen, people will realize it sooner or later. In that case, we might also need another division for soldiers… the one that will patrol the roads and have the right to inspect the cars."

"Yep. And I don't think there is someone who is qualified to lead this new division. In addition, Elaine can come up with a concept, but we need an expert to come up with the laws. Do you have anyone in mind for those two positions?"

Anna looked up, contemplating. "If that's the case, then…"
