Grand Duke Vidi soon arrived at the front of the auction hall. He fixed his clothes and appearance a little before striding onto the auction stage. As Grand Duke Vidi appeared, the noise in the auction hall ceased immediately as all eyes were on the auction stage.
"Dear honored guests, a very warm welcome from the Gilded Kingdom that you have traveled across many miles to come to…" Grand Duke Vidi had hosted many auctions before, including several large-scale ones like this one. Hence, he was very familiar with opening speeches, and it could be said that they simply rolled off his tongue.
After the opening speech, the auction hosted by Grand Duke Vidi officially began. Immediately afterwards, the first several auction items were brought to the stage. However, everyone knew that even at such a large auction, the auction items used for the "warm-up" definitely wouldn't be impressive. Hence, it was relatively quiet in the auction hall.
