"Tell her you can only have one small glass of this kind of wine a day."
Homer reminded that Walnut is not a human being and she can absorb it no matter how much she drinks, but Andrea cannot do it even if she is the officiant. Drinking too much will have the opposite effect.
"This is ancient wine that has been stored in cellars for three thousand years. Don't drink too much at one time."
"I know."
The female officiant rolled her eyes at Downton. If she didn't even have this knowledge, it would be a disgrace to the family.
"Look, our famous paintings are going to be auctioned."
Hutao tugged on Downton's sleeves and continued eating pastries on a plate.
When the hostess saw that Hutao and Celes had no regrets about Downton giving away this precious wine, she couldn't help but feel touched and warmed.
"This group of people have no scheming and are very simple. Like Downton, they respect me as Elaine's mentor."
Andrea took a deep breath. These children who were born into wealthy families have received various educations since they can remember. Intrigue and intrigue are commonplace, because this is the guarantee of survival in Bo Yun's strange power struggle.
The female officiant has very few friends. Even in school, most of the students who actively gather around her have various purposes. And she also has to gather around princesses and princes to compete with other forces for the royal heir.
of goodwill.
After entering the Holy See, it goes without saying that who can sit on the chair of the priest, who has not climbed up on the shoulders of many losers?
This kind of life is simply too tiring, so feeling the attitude of Downton and his team, Andrea feels particularly relaxed, without having to worry about being plotted by them.
"Just such a shabby painting actually sold for 12 million?" Hutao was completely shocked when she heard the final bid. Then she jumped off the chair and hurried out. She wanted to go back to the villa, and then passed through the teleportation array.
Go back to the dungeon and loot the paintings.
"There are some good things later, don't you want to read?" Downton's words made Hu Tao stop. The little Loli trotted over and hung on Downton, suddenly bursting into laughter.
"What's wrong?" Elaine touched Hu Tao's head.
"Haha, I thought of a good way to make a fortune." Hutao lowered his voice, fearing that others would overhear, "We can go paint and auction it!"
"Pfft!" Even Xia Luo couldn't help laughing this time.
The room suddenly burst into laughter. Elaine was laughing so hard that she couldn't stand upright and shed tears.
"What's wrong? Is it wrong?" Hu Tao didn't understand.
"Only paintings by great painters are valuable. And generally, the older they are, the higher the price." Elaine explained with a smile, "If you paint it now, it is estimated that it will be sold for 10,000 gold coins in 10,000 years."
"Ah? Only 10,000?" Hu Tao was depressed, "Why are they all paintings, but mine are not valuable? Aren't theirs painted by hand?"
"Homer, what knowledge do you usually teach Hu Tao?" Downton asked Hu Tao. He knew that the little Loli had been wandering alone since she could remember, so she lacked some common sense.
"It's my fault." Homer admitted his mistake for the first time. She had no choice but to focus on teaching Walnut fighting skills and mathematics. Who knew she didn't even have such basic daily common sense?
"Oh, the second one was also sold, and I got another fifteen million!" Hu Taomei was bubbling, and he stretched out ten fingers to sign. "Is the money we earned balanced with what we spent?"
"Only more than 10 million, these people have no vision." Celes despised.
"Indeed, Frankfurt is only a third-rate country. The purchasing power of the rich is limited. If you take it to the Nine Empires, you will definitely be able to sell it at a high price."
If there was no way to leave, Abagong would definitely take the famous paintings to the imperial auction.
As the auction came to an end, the items auctioned became increasingly rare and valuable, and the real nobles began to take action. Not a single item failed to be auctioned, and they all achieved a jaw-dropping price during the bidding.
"The forty-seventh auction item, the Soul Diamond."
Without the auctioneer's introduction, the venue was filled with the hottest exclamations. Even among all kinds of magic diamonds, the Soul Diamond is a rare existence because it contains abundant energy, even if it is only the size of a cherry.
, which is enough to support the opening of a single-person plane portal for a week!
As we all know, the farther the plane is teleported, the greater the energy required. In order to carry this energy, the number of nodes used to inlay magic stones or even magic diamonds on the magic array must increase. This means that the magic array will be very large.
The complexity has been greatly increased.
If Homer, a scholar, hadn't simplified the teleportation array, and coupled with the infinite power of the ancient grimoire itself, Downton would have spent millions of magic stones every time he entered the dungeon, and it would have been impossible to be as ready as he is now.
In and out.
"With this diamond, it means that a relatively simple teleportation array is enough to support long-distance plane teleportation." Andrea thought Downton didn't understand, so she explained to him.
"The low price is 30 million gold coins, and each increase in price is no less than 1 million!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, there was a gasp in the venue. Although they knew it would be expensive, the price was beyond their endurance limit, but the guests in the VIP room were obviously not among them. There were already people waiting.
It's too late to speak, and it's 35 million, hoping to scare off the opponent directly.
"Isn't the magic energy contained in this gemstone enough for me to reach the Judgment level?"
Elaine really likes this fist-sized diamond. It is an irregular polyhedron, purple and red in color, with a halo of mist surrounding it, making it look like a planet.
The price rose quickly, especially when VIP Room No. 1, which had been silent all this time, finally made a sound.
"VIP No. 1, 45 million!"
The female auctioneer was excited. If this momentum continued, her commission could reach one million.
"Haha, simply absorbing magic energy is too wasteful. Using it as a power source for portals or mechanical airships is the most efficient way to use it!" Andrea smiled sweetly and teased Downton, "Why don't you take action?
This kind of diamond is a strategic resource, and as long as the rich and nobles with some financial resources are hoarding it, they can resell it even if they don't use it, so they will be bought as soon as they appear on the market."
In fact, any magic diamond ends up like this. The Montalcino Business Group also wanted it, but the price offered made the leader of Savage Garden quite dissatisfied, so they could only put it up for auction.
"Buy it. With this diamond, I can build a teleportation array leading to the heavenly plane. Then I can hunt for Elaine's magical servants with divine attributes."
Homer has been worrying about energy. He made Downton the Grand Duke. In addition to improving his status, he also wanted to use the power of the principality to collect energy and restore it to its heyday as soon as possible. After all, no matter how powerful a person is, his ability is limited. If
The grimoire fell into the hands of a king of the Nine Empires. Needless to say, it was repaired long ago.
Someone offered 46 million, but VIP No. 1 directly shouted out 50 million. The whole audience was silent. Seeing this momentum, the other VIPs also gave up. After all, they could get No. 1.
The card must be from the royal family.
"No more fighting!"
"If the prince spends more money, we will be in trouble."
The distinguished guests know that the one who can afford this money must be the second prince. Not only does he have an uncle who is the finance minister, but he also has a queen mother who obeys the king's fans. The entire treasury is his money bag. You
How to spell it?
"These people are very knowledgeable!"
The second prince was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea, overlooking the venue, and joked, "By the way, what is my brother doing recently?"
"According to the spy report, after leaving the Dagger Mine, he went to the Dragon Hills, and he should be competing with Dupont's people for the tomb of Rose in the Demon Palace."
The attendant standing aside reported.
"Humph, I hope he dies in the hills and saves me from having to deal with him." The second prince just celebrated his eighteenth birthday this year and came of age. If it weren't for that older brother, he would have become the crown prince and one step closer to the throne, so he wished he had died.
Lose.
"I hope it's as you wish." The attendant bowed and replied.
"Do you think that if I give this Soul Diamond to Di Lanxue, will she look at me differently?" Thinking of Di Lanxue, the second prince felt hot in his heart and began to feel uneasy again.
After all, he is also a prince who lost his virginity to a maid at the age of ten. He has played with countless women since then, but since the first time he saw Di Lanxue, he seemed to have lost his soul, worrying about gains and losses all day long.
Thinking of pleasing her.
"Yes!" How dare the servant say no? With Di Lanxue's identity, what is the Soul Diamond?
"Haha, if I marry her, I won't give up the throne of this empire!" The second prince smiled proudly, but with the offer, he was like a duck being strangled by the neck, his eyes bulging out.
"Fifty five million!"
Well, everyone in the room turned their attention to Box No. 9. No one expected that he would bid again without even giving the royal family face.
"Fifty million times!"
The female auctioneer was about to hit the hammer to seal the deal. Unexpectedly, there were new changes in the auction. Although the commission increased, she did not dare to get excited at all, and cautiously glanced at Box 1.
"Go check it out for me. He actually dares to despise my existence. I will make him pay the price." The second prince smashed the tea cup and kicked away the maid who was beating her legs. He was furious.
"Yes!" The guard immediately ran out.
"The price is sixty million." The second prince tugged at his collar. The wealth of the entire country belongs to him. Who can compare with it?
"Your Highness, you have spent more than five million today." The attendant reminded him, but the second prince jumped up and slapped him.
"You don't have to worry about my business, bid quickly!"
"Your Highness, the king will definitely ask about it. How will you explain it then?" The attendant persuaded hard and spoke from his heart. When he heard someone bidding, the attendant secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he would really give up his soul at such an inflated price.
If he buys the diamond back, the king will definitely execute him.
"Am I trying to please Di Lanxue? If I marry her, Delankfurt's power will undoubtedly increase." The second prince is not stupid, he has already thought of an excuse, "It won't be a problem if we become a second-rate empire.
