Chapter Nine hundred and twentieth The Lord of the Rings
"Is Downton already so powerful and rich?"
Even if the final auction was an artifact, Fanny didn't care anymore. She looked at Box 6 dreamily, imagining Downton's appearance, and then two lines of tears streaked her cheeks.
"Why!"
Hannah sighed. In fact, Fanny had a chance. Unfortunately, when she first met Downton, she was too arrogant and missed the opportunity.
Although Downton acted very friendly and didn't care about the original quarrel, Hannah understood that he was dismissive.
In fact, the gap between Fanny and Downton is as huge as the Alps. Even if you look up, you can't see the hem of his clothes.
In the hall of the Royal Opera House of Holy Light Minor, there was silence, only the sound of heavy breathing was left. Everyone stared at the stage with their eyes wide open, waiting for the official announcement.
A noble girl's self-pity? No one cares, unless she is Princess Sissi or His Royal Highness Di Lanxue. Of course, Saint Laurent and Saint Lily can also do it. Then there will be many people rushing to show their courtesy.
Two elf maids came up carrying a transparent box made of crystal, which was covered with white velvet. There was a metal bracket in the center, and a golden ring was placed on it.
At this time, the Lord of the Rings was dim and dull, as if dead, but no one would think that it would be a mortal item, because it was radiating a weak power and seemed to be summoning something, and it was like a magnet.
In the same way, the VIPs’ eyes were fixed on it and they could no longer look away.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Gradually, the hearts of the guests began beating to the same beat. Some VIPs who were in poor health developed symptoms of suffocation within a few seconds.
"Today's grand auction item is the Supreme Lord of the Rings created by the ancient dragon king!"
Without waiting for the principal to finish speaking, the whole place became excited after just announcing a name. The Ancient Dragon King was the first master who built the Dragon City. It once ruled the entire Western Continent and was known as the Age of Dragons.
of pioneers.
The Supreme Lord of the Rings. This is an extremely magical ring. It is not that it is full of negative energy and leads to depravity, but that it has too much uncertainty.
Some people obtained this magic ring and skyrocketed to great achievements in their lives, such as His Majesty Washington, who conquered a huge territory and established the Kuta Magic Empire.
Some people got this ring, but never recovered. The eternal inheritance of their ancestors declined. For example, the troll king spent thousands of years and finally established a thousand-year empire. After accidentally getting this ring, he originally expected to wear it.
It created greater glory and unified the continent. It became the master of the Western Land, but within a few years, the empire's national destiny plummeted.
There are so many legends about the Supreme Lord of the Rings. On the list of magical items, this ring ranks among the top three because many people became kings because of it, and many kings died because of it!
"Everyone must have heard the legend of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, yes. This is the one in front of you. It is full of magic. Just look at it and it seems that your soul has been sucked in!"
When the boss said these words, he didn't dare to look at the ring at all. "There are rumors that the only people who can control this ring are those with strong luck, otherwise it will backfire and drain all the original luck from them!"
"Is it really the One Ring?"
"Even the Montalcino Merchant Group can't identify its authenticity, right? And if it is really the Supreme Lord of the Rings, it is an artifact. Will your business group's elders be willing to auction it?"
"Yes, how could something like this be on the market?"
The distinguished guests were talking a lot and were full of doubts. As we all know, even in the largest and most top auctions in the mainland, the best finale is only an epic, and it cannot be bought with gold coins, it can only be exchanged.
When it reaches the level of epic magic equipment, no one will take it lightly. Without waiting for the auction, it will be divided up by those wealthy families.
This Supreme Lord of the Rings, with its mysterious power and the legends spread around it, definitely belongs to the level of an artifact.
"To be honest, our master's father obtained it three hundred years ago, which is why the Montalcino Business Group ranked among the top ten business groups in the Lombardy Alliance in a short period of time."
The boss smiled bitterly, "But now, the luck of such a ring seems to have run out. To be honest, our business group's management is very poor and there are already problems with funds."
"I see!"
The distinguished guests showed expressions of sudden realization, and some older nobles even showed expressions of thinking. They remembered correctly that Montalcino rose rapidly three hundred years ago, and its owner was just a man from the countryside.
A poor boy, he saw a business opportunity and made a fortune with a gold coin he stole from the wishing fountain. However, he was regarded as a classic case in economics.
Similarly, he is also an inspirational model, but I didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns.
"The master said that the good luck brought by this Supreme Lord of the Rings has been used up, and it is time to throw it away!"
The chief's words made the distinguished guests stand in awe, even Gerald sat upright.
"If you give up, you will get something. With this courage alone, that guy can definitely reorganize the Montalcino Business Group!"
The middle-aged man also opened his eyes and praised. As a wealthy family, they have more information channels, so he knows that this business group is indeed in a big crisis. This time, they have used their wealth for many years in this auction.
Keeping up the facade and preparing for a last ditch effort.
"Why not give it away?" Someone asked, "Those empire kings and wealthy family heads should be interested, right?"
"Idiot, how do you give it as a gift? The effect of this Supreme Lord of the Rings is too magical. If it exerts negative power and causes the death of an heir or something, Montalcino will definitely be unlucky."
"Yes, besides, this ring is a divine weapon. If you give it to one force, it will definitely offend other forces. The most important thing for the existence of a business group is to have a wide range of friends and be well-rounded. If you offend everyone, the direction of its development will be
Gone!"
"So we should take advantage of the Northern Congress and the presence of many powerful nobles to auction the ring!"
There were many distinguished guests among the distinguished guests, and they quickly guessed some of the thoughts of the chairman of the business group. People like Gerald and the middle-aged people thought even more.
"I won't say much to be polite. You can bid directly. You can also exchange several magical items. In a word, the Supreme Lord of the Rings has a base price of 10 billion gold coins, and each increase in price will not be less than 100 million!"
Wow!
As soon as the principal finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar. This number was really terrifying to the extreme. Although the people doing the work were all big nobles and big businessmen, there were only more than thirty people who could spend so much money at once.
.
But soon the nobles were relieved. Those who had the courage and strength to bid must be wealthy, otherwise even if they bought it, they would not be able to keep it.
If it is owned by a wealthy family, and the negative power of the ring will be considered, other wealthy families will be afraid and will not take action. But if a small power holds it, then they will definitely 'borrow' it to play with. After all, it is a legendary artifact.
, who dare not be interested?
The scene was silent, and everyone held their breath. Their eyes slid to the surrounding boxes, guessing whose hands the ring would eventually fall into!
"Haha. Since you are still hesitating, let me start the prologue!" Gerald joked and snapped his fingers with his right hand.
The loyal servant understands and raises the placard to make an offer!
"St. York family, 10 billion!"
At the finale auction, the person in charge no longer reported the number plate. Instead, he directly called the family title, because this is an honor and a display of strength.
"Dupont family, 10.1 billion!"
Only a few seconds later, someone in box No. 8 also raised a sign.
"Hohenzollern family. 10.5 billion!"
The price suddenly increased by 400 million gold coins, causing the distinguished guests to exclaim again, what does it mean to be rich? This is because the bidding just now was nothing compared to the current one. One bid reached hundreds of millions of gold coins.
"Ghis family, 10.6 billion!"
"Napoleon family, 10.7 billion!"
"The Habsburg family, 10.8 billion!"
"The Bourbon family, 10.9 billion!"
Listening to the rising quotations, the VIPs began to whisper again.
"Why can't I hear offers from wealthy families like the Lombard Alliance and the Kuta Magic Empire?"
Everyone knows that the richest country on the continent is Lombardy, followed by Kuta, but Kuta's magical technology ranks first in the world.
Among the nine empires, the one with the most foundation and the longest history is Holy Britannia, because almost all the wealthy families of other empires split from this country. Of course, when it comes to national strength, the strongest one has ever been
It was the Twilight Empire, but now it changed hands and became St. Jutland.
Saint Laurent is neither a high place nor a low place, but it is the most romantic country, and every Western native longs for a love affair here.
Saint Laurent's famous romantic writer Alexandre Dumas once ridiculed that Saint Laurents who don't cheat are not good Saint Laurents. Even Hugo, the always serious writer, also said that Saint Laurents are not good Saint Laurents.
Being in love means being on the way to having a love affair. Although these words are exaggerated, they also prove from the side that Saint Laurent people are passionate, unrestrained and advocating romance!
"Isn't it a bit far?"
Listening to Madeleine teasing several countries, black lines floated across Downton's forehead.
"Haha, that's right." Gerrard praised, "Don't look any further, this ring will definitely end up in the hands of a wealthy family in Lombardy or Kuta!"
"I think that ring is good, why don't we bid on it?"
Little Hutao looked back at Downton, clutching the number plate, a little eager to try.
"No, I don't want to spend more than 10 billion to buy a time bomb to go home!"
Downton refused, and today's harvest has been quite a lot.
Listening to Downton's understatement and seeing that no one else showed any surprised expressions, Gerald understood that he was not pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, but that he really had such gold coins.
"It seems I still underestimated you."
Gerald was thinking about how to get the most benefit from Downton's affairs.
"Morgan Consortium, 13 billion!"
The audience once again erupted in exclamations. The Morgan family from the Kuta Empire finally made a bid, and they raised the price from 11.5 billion to 13 billion in one fell swoop. This amount of money was simply astonishing. (To be continued.)
