Chapter 318 I am a local tyrant, who am I afraid of!
"What would happen if the Xueman Empire knew that Celes was here?" Elaine knew Celes's identity, so she had a headache. The most troublesome thing is that there is a prince in the dungeon. What if he comes?
In the human kingdom, what should we do if we want to regain the royal power?
Just as Elaine was struggling, a female auctioneer in full dress walked onto the stage and announced the start of the auction.
This is a high-end hall, which usually entertains nobles. The first and second floors are small opera houses. In addition to the stage, there are also seats that can accommodate 500 people. It is divided into three halls, arranged in a fan shape.
.
The VIP room is on the second floor, forming a semicircle surrounding the stage. As long as you open the blinds, you can enjoy the singing and dancing performances from a high position.
The auctioneer held a magic microphone with a magic stone inlaid on it. Only the magic power was enough to allow her voice to easily spread throughout the venue.
"Sir, do you need me to bid you a price?"
The maid knocked on the door and asked respectfully. They had this duty, but guests generally didn't have to do it because the servants they brought with them were competent enough.
Before the guest could answer, the maid thought that the guest had not heard and was about to ask another question when a slightly hoarse voice interrupted her.
"No."
The maid turned around and saw a green-skinned goblin. Her heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, she hid it in time and opened the door with a smile on her face.
"Thanks!"
Abagong entered the VIP room and closed the door, "Master, everything is ready."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Downton was sitting on the sofa and could look directly at the stage without getting up. It must be said that the life enjoyed by the nobles was extraordinary.
The auctioneer was tall and quite beautiful. She wore an evening dress with a high slit. As she stood, her entire white right leg was exposed, attracting the attention of men. Downton couldn't help but
I took a few glances.
"She is a well-known socialite in the royal capital. Do you want to date her?" Abagon noticed the owner's little gesture and reminded in a low voice, "It will cost about 30,000 gold coins to spend one night together."
Elaine pinched Downton and rolled her eyes at Abagon, "Why are you asking about this?"
"The more you know, the more trump cards you will have." Abagon explained calmly. He thought it was perfectly fine for his master to sleep with several women. Those nobles had several lovers.
In the upper class society, the number and quality of lovers are also a symbol of a man's charm and status. Abagon wishes that Downton could even sleep with the queen.
You must know that women are always lax and cannot keep secrets. With Downton's wisdom, he can definitely get a lot of valuable information.
"Okay, the auction has begun."
Downton interrupted the topic.
"The first auction item, an emerald statue, is a crystal ornament made by the witch doctors of the Troll Empire using the souls of hero-level monsters. It has the effect of calming the mind and refreshing the mind. The base price is 70,000 gold coins."
After the auctioneer introduces the origin and function of the auction item, he then quotes the reserve price. If someone bids, he will shout out the price. When the auctioneer reminds three times in a row and no one bids, the auction item will be awarded to the one with the highest price. If no one bids, the auctioneer will win.
Then it will be rejected.
The prices of the five auction items at the beginning are not high. They are rare and eye-catching enough. They are meant to get off to a good start. The highlight usually comes later.
"The fifth auction item is a set of 1698 commemorative gold coins of the Saint Jutland Empire. There are twenty-five coins in total, and the base price is fifty thousand gold coins."
Following the auctioneer's introduction, the magic equipment on the exhibition stand was turned on, projecting the image of the gold coins on the tall curtain for everyone to appreciate.
"The bidding begins, and each bid increase shall not be less than one thousand gold coins."
After waiting for a moment and giving everyone enough time, the auctioneer announced the start of the auction.
People in the venue were whispering to their companions, seeming to be discussing something, but no one made a bid.
"You're not going to let the auction go wrong, are you?"
Elaine was very nervous.
"Probably not. The value of this set of gold coins lies in its commemorative value. It is of no use to the people of Delankfurt, but if you take it to the Saint Jutland Empire, there will definitely be nobles who will value it." Abagon stood beside him.
, explained without any worries, "There are many merchants among these nobles, and some of them must have trading partners in Jutland. Even if they don't resell, even if they give them as gifts to their business partners, they will leave a good influence on them, so that
Trade relations are closer."
"No. 102, fifty thousand gold coins!"
Someone raised a sign.
Including Downton, after paying the deposit, guests will get a sign with a number on it. Without it, even calling the price will be invalid.
"No. 206, fifty-one thousand gold coins."
The bidding was not very fierce, and finally settled on fifty-six thousand gold coins, which meant that Downton had his first income, but he was very dissatisfied.
"It's a pity. This kind of thing is rare and expensive. If you take out all the gold coins in the dungeon, they won't be valuable." Downton worried that it would be too wasteful to spend those gold coins directly, but there are many on the market.
It can't be sold at such a high price.
"Yes, it's a pity." Abagong has no choice but to sell as many sets as possible before the market is saturated. Anyone who sees a currency that can be sold for thousands of Jindelans becomes worthless will be dismayed.
Unwillingly.
The auction went on in an orderly manner, and Downton's two sets of warrior light and heavy armors were sold for a total of 260,000 gold coins because they were well preserved.
"How many warrior suits have the ghouls worn out? That's all money!" Downton covered his forehead depressedly, looking at the old nobleman who had a habit of collecting armors. He wanted to tell him that this kind of thing
I have thousands of sets, so don’t fight over it. Let’s discuss it and buy them all!
"According to statistics, the number of armors that have been worn to the point of scrapping has reached 200." Abagong recorded in a small book, "We must hire a team of blacksmiths as soon as possible to create new armors for the ghouls so that they can wear warrior suits.
It’s such a waste.”
"The fifteenth auction item, Dark Purgatory Walnut, is produced in Abyss Purgatory and contains the essence of dark magic energy. After taking it, magic users below the Judgment level can be directly promoted to one level. However, please be careful, because it is dark magic energy.
, so it will have a partial impact on human soul trees. The base price is two million gold coins!"
On the projection of the curtain, this walnut is about the size of an adult's fist, is completely black, and is constantly emitting mist, making it look very strange.
"The bidding begins, each bid increase shall not be less than 100,000 gold coins!"
"It seems that it can only be eaten by Celes." Downton is a paladin. The main body of the soul tree has sacred attributes. If he eats purgatory walnuts, the backlash will be even greater.
"It's best for Celes to eat it," Homer explained, "but we have fragments of the Hand of Creation, which can neutralize dark magic energy and convert it into the purest energy, so you can definitely take it."
Judging from the current situation, Downton's benefit from raising one level is greater than that of Celes. Besides, the Death Banshee's magic affinity physique is too powerful. Even if she doesn't eat these magical fruits, her cultivation speed will be higher than that of Downton.
quick.
While the two were talking, the price of walnuts had soared, reaching 3.6 million gold coins.
It is too difficult for a magic user to advance to the first level. For the sake of the children of the family, the nobles are not afraid of spending money. After all, strength is the confidence and future.
"Five million gold coins at a time. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
Auctioneer reminder.
"I am Di Polo. Are these people crazy?"
Downton didn't call out the price even once, and the price reached a price that he could bear but didn't want to accept. Homer said that this thing is worth up to four million gold coins.
"No. 12, 5.1 million."
Signs were raised in the VIP box opposite.
"You want it?" Andrea drank black tea and glanced at Downton.
"Yeah!" Downton nodded.
"The valuation of the Purgatory Walnut is only four million gold coins, which is already exaggerated. In terms of your capital, the bid is a waste." The female officiant reminded, "And it will also offend a big noble."
"Why?" Elaine was puzzled.
"The first thirty numbers were given out by the business group on their own initiative, and those who could get them were all big nobles, and they all sat in the VIP box." Andrea explained. "No. 12 was the first to bid, and it has always been there.
Yelling, this shows that he is so eager to get the Purgatory Walnuts that he doesn't even bother to cover up."
"Yeah!" Downton also noticed that No. 12 didn't care about the price at all, so this was also a reason for his hesitation.
"If I guessed correctly, a certain child of their family has already reached the seventh level of war. In order to successfully advance to the Judgment level, he urgently needs Purgatory Walnuts." Andrea looked at Downton, "With your qualifications and
In terms of potential, there is no need to eat this kind of thing, it is better to keep the money, maybe you can buy something at a reasonable price in the future.”
"Calling out the price!"
Downton agreed, and just when he was about to stop, Homer roared in his heart.
"Why do you have to rush it?" Downton didn't understand. "Even if we get it, it will cost at least two to three million more, right?"
"With your billionaire net worth, two million gold coins are nothing. It's not worth a single hair. How many years can you humans live normally? One hundred years? Well, even if it's one hundred and fifty years, there are still
There are abnormal deaths." Homer was almost furious, and Downton was so petty, "Do you know what is the most valuable thing among the many planes?"
"What is it? An artifact?" Downton couldn't hold his head up after being scolded, "Or is it life?"
"It's time. Time is priceless. How long will it take for you to advance to the fourth level of war? Even if you have five times the magic energy concentration of the dungeon, you will have to spend at least three months, and if everything goes well, it will take three months.
, do you know how many gold coins it’s worth?”
Downton shook his head.
"The magicians are rushing to the dragon-slaying level every moment, why? Because reaching this high level can extend your life, and you are the real strong person." Homer taught, "And the sooner you arrive, the higher the potential value.
If it is high, you can attack the marshal in the future, and the greater the chance of becoming a legend."
"I know, I'm bidding." Downton understood, "So what if it's five million more gold coins? I spent two days configuring five bottles of the Man of Steel potion and it's worth the price."
"You're not stupid enough after all!" Homer was pleased. "You can make more money after you've spent it. Besides, you still have a dungeon, which is enough for you to squander."
"Abagong, raise your sign, six million gold coins!" (To be continued...)
