"Well, you can go. By the way, are there any requirements for selling things?" Downton thought of the treasures excavated from Polusna. If they were antiques, he had saved a lot.
"As long as the auction item is valuable enough and is authenticated by the Montalcino Business Group, it will be allowed to be auctioned, but a commission of 5% of the transaction amount will be charged." Abagon is thoughtful and has inquired about everything in advance.
I came to report it after I got it clear.
"What do you think we can sell?" Because he signed a death contract, Downton didn't worry about the green goblin absconding with the money, so he told him about his wealth.
Downton didn't want to hide Xia Luo, but Xian Lang was very conscious and stood up to leave directly.
"A full set of commemorative gold coins, Jutland standard armor, some famous paintings, antiques, and even potions prepared by you." Abagon reminded, "But I suggest you take Andrea with you and use her as a shield.
"
Downton nodded. He understood what the butler meant. Lombardy was one of the nine great empires. As one of the largest business groups in the world, Montalcino's power was conceivable. No matter how clever Downton's disguise was, his identity would be revealed.
It would be bad to dig it out and cause unnecessary trouble.
Just as he said, Downton took Abagon back to the dungeon through the teleportation array set up by Homer in his bedroom.
When overlooking half of the underground city from the luxurious bedroom of the Duke's Palace, the green goblin who came here for the first time was completely shocked.
"This...this...is really incredible!" Abagon exclaimed, he finally understood where his master's wealth came from.
"Stop being so surprised, come with me to the vault to count the things that can be sold." Downton released ten ghouls to clear the way. Even though all the monsters entrenched in the Duke's Mansion had been cleared away, he was still worried.
"Master, this city is bigger than the capital, and the accumulated wealth must be very huge. If you collect them all, you are fully capable of forming several legions and conquering the entire Delankfurt. You will definitely not be able to occupy half of the forest.
question."
Abagon was excited. If Downton founded the country, he would become a powerful minister of finance. He would have rights and status that countless compatriots could not obtain after the era of the hobgoblins.
"So you understand the meaning of me raising ogres and wooing orcs?" Downton smiled, "Homer has already considered it. If we only have money, sooner or later we will be eaten like lambs by those nobles, so we must master it.
To use force, at least you have to be a grand duke."
"Master, I wish you glory forever!"
Abagon suddenly stood upright with a snap, clenched his right hand into a fist, put his right arm across his chest, and saluted Downton with his mouth facing his heart.
"too exaggerated."
Downton joked that he used to think about marrying a princess, but after meeting Xia Luo, this idea faded a lot.
"From now on, all the maids in our palace will be princesses, and the Duke's daughter is not qualified." Abagon began to fantasize.
When Downton opened the vault, the goblin butler looked at the treasures piled inside, his eyes completely turned into '$' shapes. Then he bowed to the master, "Please allow me to be rude once."
Without waiting for Downton to answer, Abagong threw himself at the pile of gold coins, and then dove in, swimming with his arms.
The gold coins collided and made a pleasant sound.
After finding a suitable auction item, Downton visited Andrea's apartment again early the next morning. This time he did not dare to enter rashly, and he also took Elaine with him.
"Huh? Do you want to participate in the auction?" Andrea smiled after hearing Downton explain his purpose, "With your brother's wealth, it's no problem at all, right?"
"More than that, we want to use your title to auction some things. Of course, the products are absolutely guaranteed to be free of fakes, and we will also pay you a portion of the commission afterwards."
Abagon explained on behalf of Downton that if money was involved, he would be responsible to avoid any dispute between the master and the officiant.
"It seems that your brother has a lot of good stuff? Show it to me." The female officiant said indifferently, "As for the commission, forget it, I'm not short of money."
"The commission will be paid. This is a matter of credibility." Abagong refused, but added in his heart, "Since you don't want it, then just pay less."
Downton released a dozen large wooden boxes customized by Abagong, and the auction items were placed inside.
"Hey, did I read that right? It's actually "The Madonna in the Garden". This is a work by Raphael, a great painter known as one of the three masters of the Renaissance!"
Born into a wealthy aristocratic family, Andrea received an elite education and has a considerable understanding of these artistic masterpieces.
"Yes!"
Downton nodded and handed over a pair of white gloves to prevent the sweat on his hands from smearing the screen.
"Sorry." Andrea put on her gloves and looked carefully, but the more she looked, the more surprised she became, "Judging from the painting and style, it doesn't look like a fake?"
“Absolutely authentic.”
Abagong supported, "Other famous paintings are also authentic. I swear by the honor of the owner."
"But it's impossible. I remember the art instructor said that the last time this painting appeared was when it was auctioned by the Duke of Hohenzollern, and then it disappeared forever when Polusna was destroyed."
Hearing this, Downton's heart skipped a beat. He wanted to hide it, but he didn't want to lie. Fortunately, Abagon was there.
"You must have remembered it wrong."
"Impossible, this painting is a representative work of Raphael at the peak of his middle age, so the auction price was 26 million marks, setting a price record for famous paintings at that time." Andrea shook her head, "My mentor is special
I like Raphael, so I have studied his works and understood his life, and I will definitely not remember it wrong."
The female officiant is also a genius, her IQ is absolutely not bad, and the knowledge she has learned will not be easily forgotten.
"Don't you appreciate the other works?" Downton took out another painting.
"Don't worry, if you don't want to tell me, I won't ask." The hostess rolled her eyes at Downton, she was really charming, "But you have made a fortune. Now that this painting is taken out, it will definitely shock the collecting world.
, it will not be a problem to sell for 50 million marks."
"Forget it, I don't want to cause trouble."
Downton laughed dryly. The nobles' background was too deep. If he met the guy who likes Raphael again, his secret might be exposed, so he might as well keep it at the bottom of the box.
"I guessed it right. You are indeed a little rich man."
After admiring the auction items, Andrea sighed. She made a rough estimate and found that the value of these items was already more than 80 million gold coins.
Elaine has calmed down. After going to the underground city once, she knew that her brother might be the richest person after the Frankfurt royal family.
…
The auction will start at six o'clock in the evening and is expected to last for two hours. After the auction is over, the Montalcino Business Group will hold a banquet to entertain the high-ranking nobles of the royal capital.
As Andrea's gold-robed officiant, she had received the invitation a week ago. She had not originally planned to go, but because of Downton, she had to go.
Two carriages, neither luxurious nor shabby, stopped in front of the apartment. Downton went to invite the officiant himself.
Andrea is still wearing a white robe with a waist and high heels. Although it is simple, it has a holy atmosphere on her body.
"So big!"
Hutao stuck her head out of the car window and looked at the officiant's plump papaya breasts. She always wanted to rub them. She thought they must feel good.
It was her first time to attend an auction, and of course the whole family was involved. Charlotte thought she might encounter a potion that was usually hard to find, so she agreed to Downton's invitation.
"What are you doing?" The chief priest looked at the ogre following the carriage in surprise.
"They are bodyguards."
"You even killed assassins from Assassin's Creed in the street, and you still need bodyguards?" The female officiant had a subtext that she didn't say, "With me as the officiant, anyone who wants to assassinate you has to consider his own strength."
"It's to protect Abagong." Elaine pulled her mentor to act coquettishly and explained as she hurried on.
There are so many nobles. It would be terrible if someone looked down on the goblin and wanted to beat him. It would be better to bring the ogres with them. Their size would be enough to scare many people.
The luxurious clubhouse was already bustling with traffic and guests. However, the order was maintained quite well by the uniformly dressed servants.
As soon as the carriage stopped, a servant came over in advance, placed the horse stool in front of the carriage door, and then opened the door after receiving permission.
Abagong jumped out of the car, stretched out his hand to help, "Master, be careful."
The busy servants and guests suddenly saw ten ogres and one goblin appear, and they were all shocked. The ladies even covered their mouths with fans and exclaimed.
Although the servant looked puzzled, he did not show any dissatisfaction or contempt and waited for the guests to get off the car.
"As expected of a famous large business group from the Nine Empires, the quality of these servants alone is astonishing to Drankfurt." Andrea praised.
"Master Priest, you are complimenting me."
The servant saw a beautiful leg wearing flesh-colored stockings protruding from a golden robe and stepping on the horse. He immediately recognized the identity of the person and quickly lowered his head and saluted.
Only three chief priests in the entire royal capital are qualified to wear golden robes.
Hu Tao jumped off another carriage, stretched, and couldn't help but want to run to the clubhouse. She had never been to a place like this before and was very curious.
"Please go this way, I will take you to the VIP room. The auction will start in twenty minutes."
The servant was very discerning and took them directly to the VIP room without even looking at the officiant's invitation or asking for a deposit receipt. In fact, he would do this even if the owner of the business group came.
"Master, let me take a look at the product."
Abagong resigned. Their auction items had been handed over to the business group one day in advance for appraisal. Afterwards, they had to stay in the guild hall to avoid being dumped.
Although ogre guards have been arranged, Abagong is still worried, and he also wants to make some connections with those businessmen.
"Well, be careful."
After waving the butler away, Downton took Hu Tao and followed the officiant into the hall. Celes was wearing a hood and was very nervous.
The people who can come here are basically big nobles and big businessmen, and the guards they hire are naturally very strong, so some people felt the undead aura on Celes, but they didn't pay much attention, thinking that she was just a necromancer. After all, who
I never thought that a death banshee would appear in the human kingdom. (To be continued...)
