Chapter 35 Bidding
"Go to the vegetable market now?" look, this is what mortals should consider, Hao urged again.
"Well, just by the way, we can go to the auction house first!" The prince had already finished praying, turned over and smiled mysteriously, "Today's auction house is of a very high grade, but it is only held once a year, and seeing that you don't have any weapons to take advantage of, maybe I can take one for you!"
Since you have Tristana's kind of artillery, how nice would it be to get us a *** one?
A golden light immediately appeared in Hao's eyes, what chili pepper pepper?
The prince's itinerary was naturally arranged in advance by the guards, and it can be said that the two of them have not yet arrived at the auction house, and the first-class VIP box has been reserved in the auction house. As for the large number of people coming to the auction house today, then there will be a temporary road traffic control at the entrance of the auction house!
"Hurry up, get out of the way!" Hao and the prince rode their horses all the way, and when they reached the gate of the auction house, there were already city guards who had pulled up the human wall.
But at this moment, an accident appeared, a little girl holding a handful of flowers actually got under the hand of the city guard wall.
No way, she's too young, she looks like she's six or seven years old, not to mention the gap between adults' hands, even from between her legs!
What's even more worrying is that she is blind, and the noisy voice next to her may only think that there are a lot of people around, so she shouted even harder, "Sell flowers, sell flowers, what a fresh and lovely little flower, buy one......"
The prince and Hao at the front are already close to the little girl, even if the two of them are divine horses under their crotches, and they are fortunate enough to avoid the little girl, but don't forget that there are nearly a hundred iron horsemen behind the two, if this is trampled over......? This little girl is definitely going to die on the spot!
"Stop!" Between the lightning and flint, Hao subconsciously bent down to grab the little girl, just like the countless simulations during the practice, bending over, reaching out, and holding it steadily.
It's just that when I practice, I always hold a spear standing on the ground, how tall is this little girl?
Hao felt that his outstretched fingertips touched the little girl's soft hair, but that wasn't enough!
Hao was ruthless, and his whole body fell sharply downward, and suddenly he fell from the horse.
But when he was about to land, he finally took the little girl into his arms, and then turned sideways, and just hit his back on the rocky floor. The huge force suddenly rushed out of Hao's mouth and nose with blood!
Fortunately, Hao rolled the little girl so much, and it also rolled to the side.
"Boom ......" A sound of horses' hooves brushed Hao's scalp, but the blind little girl looked around innocently and distractedly as if she was frightened, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything.
"Oh, it's so dangerous!" "If it weren't for this nobleman, this little girl would have been trampled into pulp!" "Yes, I don't know whose child it is, I can't see it and I don't have to worry about letting her come out alone to sell flowers......"
Although the little girl couldn't see, she could hear the voices around her, and what she was thinking now was, "I'm afraid she's in trouble again"!
So her whole person was not good in an instant, her face became bloodless, pale and scary, she wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, but the tears kept falling down her cheeks like the size of soybeans.
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Hao felt that his internal organs were displaced, and the huge impact force of the flesh strengthened by dragon blood alone couldn't resist it!
But even so, he still stretched out a hand to help the little girl wipe away her tears, and then said very gently, "No...... It's okay! Just now my uncle was playing in circles with you, you ...... What's your name?"
"Oh, I...... My name is Alice...... I...... Didn't I stand in the way of the noble lord's horse?" said the little girl.
"Ahem, ahem...... Hahaha, it's not in the way...... Ahem, ahem!" Hao really wanted to turn around immediately and spit out all the blood in his throat.
"Ah, it's good if it's not blocked!" The little girl's mood was so fast, this would finally break into a smile, and her face returned to normal, "Uncle, do you have a cough? I have a flower, you put her in the bedroom, it is very helpful for coughing!"
"Ahem, ahem...... Oh, then sell me one!" The innocent smile of the little girl made Hao suddenly feel very peaceful in his heart, and suddenly felt that his body was not so painful!
"Wait a minute. The little girl put the flower in her hand on the ground, then took out another cloth bag from her pocket, and opened the small round ball of mud that had been rubbed.
Correct...... Later, under everyone's astonished, frightened, evasive, and frightened gazes, the little girl picked up a lump of mud and put it in the palm of Flesh's hand.
A magical scene appeared, as a layer of pale green light appeared on the little girl's hand, a young shoot broke through the ground!
Then the branches grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then a flower bone grew, and finally the flower bone completely bloomed into a gorgeous red flower......
"Ahh
"Shut up!" Hao raised his head fiercely, although the murderous aura in his eyes was not as strong as Zhao Xin's, but it was not something that these ordinary people dared to look at directly, it was obvious that Hao was looking for the most powerful person who had just called with his eyes, if he was allowed to find it, he wouldn't mind sending this one with big ears!
"Woo......" But what I didn't expect was that the little girl cried sadly, maybe someone just said the reason for the demon stainer, maybe Hao's low roar scared her, only to hear her cry and say intermittently, "Woo...... I've been identified by the Demon Seeker, I'm benign, my plague is just a small flower and grass, I've never used magic to harm anyone, woo......"
"Are you alright?" Hao's concerned voice sounded behind him.
"Well, Alice is a kind little girl, uncle believes in you, oh, this flower is beautiful, you haven't told uncle how much money?" Hao wiped away the little girl's tears again.
"Thank you, uncle, for taking me around in circles, this flower is considered to be a gift from me, although Alice needs a lot of money to treat her mother, but her mother also said that a good person's money can't be earned! Uncle is a good person!" Alice said and stuffed the flower into Hao's hand.
"Okay, but you gave me flowers as a gift, and I'll give you a small gift too!" Hao took out a crystal card worth five thousand crystal coins from his arms and wanted to stuff it into the little girl's hand.
The prince glanced at the crystal card, but quickly stopped, "No! Hao, you didn't do this to be a good person, you gave this card to her in front of so many people, I bet that she and her mother will die tonight!"
Hao was suddenly shocked, yes, what was his pig brain thinking?
But he really wanted to help this poor little girl, so he quickly got up and cast a look at the prince for help, but who would have thought that at this turn, the little girl actually got into the crowd and disappeared......
"Okay, like this, you are born with a plague, there are not eight hundred but one thousand in the whole kingdom, you are only one person, how can you save it?" the prince patted Hao's shoulder and comforted.
But Hao's thoughts in his heart at this time were surging like waves, and an emotion of detachment and anger was burning in his heart!
"Plague, disaster and disease? Yes, for poor people, having magic is disaster and disease, but what is Shivana? What is the magic circle transmitting information? It's unfair, it's really unfair! I suddenly remembered a movie character, his name is Happy, and others call him a clown, and he said to his mother, "There must be something wrong with my body, but poverty, that's the real disease......"
Hao thought far away, thought deeply, the whole person followed the prince into the auction house like a walking corpse, and then entered the first-class box through a special passage, Hao recovered from his thoughts, and now it is here, let's take a look at the auction first!
Looking out from the box, it was really full, and everyone's faces were full of excitement, as if they had all picked up a big bargain!
Looking at the competing items that were put up for auction, it is true that each of them is not ordinary, and the worst is the kind of antiques with very commemorative value...... Like what......
"The next competition is...... The legendary sculptor Du Lang, the notebook used by Master Du back then...... Starting bid: 2,000 ...... Bids start at 200 crystals each!" the host announced loudly.
I don't know if it's because the starting price is high, or because of some other reason, the entire auction hall is cold for the first time, and even the kind of big nobles from other places specially asked the people around them, "Hey, who is this Du Lang?" "Back to the master, Du Lang is a great sculptor, a great designer, a great architect, and two of the four miracles of Xiongdu are from his handwriting. "Oh, it's this guy who built the house, this is not his work, but just a broken note, don't, don't, don't want to fool Uncle Ben's money......"
"2200!" Suddenly, in a corner, a bid sounded, and everyone immediately turned their heads as if they were watching a show, all wanting to see who this stupid man was? Unfortunately, the person who shouted the price was covered in a black cloak and couldn't see it at all.
"2400!" Hao also suddenly said, this is even more big news, the box where Hao is staying, everyone in the auction hall knows, it is exclusive to the royal family, what does the royal family want this notebook for? If they want to know about Du Lang, if they want to come to the study of Dawn Castle, I am afraid that there are boxes of Du Lang's books!
"What's the matter? I worshipped the Colossus of Justice at noon, and now I dare to be interested in carving?" said the prince, taking a sip of the wine in the cup.
"All of a sudden, I was just curious. Hao casually explained, in fact, his true thoughts in his heart could not be said to the prince, what he thought was, "Labor and management are angry, and all of Demacia are forbidden to demons, right? Isn't this Durang the one who made Galio? Labor and management just want to verify that if Galio is driven by magic, and Dulang recorded these things in this notebook, will I take them out and slap you in the face?"
"2600!" Just as Hao was talking to the prince, in that corner, the sound of bidding sounded again, and listening to that tone revealed the certainty of victory!
"2800!" Hao replied immediately.
“3000!”
“3200!”
“3400!”
"5000!" This time without waiting for Hao to answer, the prince opened his mouth to shout the price first, and met Hao's questioning gaze, the prince shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "I'll help you increase the price at one time!"
Obviously, the other party was also shocked by the prince's momentum of not taking money as money, and he was dumbfounded for a while, and after a quiet moment, the host immediately said very professionally, "The guest in box No. 1 bid 5,000 crystals, is there anything higher?" If not, this note from Master Du Lang will be owned by the guest in box No. 1...... 5000 First Time ...... 5000 Second ...... 5000 Third ......"
"10,000!" At this moment, he shouted this terrifying bid from a certain seat, looking for the location of the source of the sound, which should be some great nobleman, or someone from his family.
"Hmph!" the prince snorted coldly, and immediately a personal guard would run down to investigate, only to hear the prince open his mouth coldly again, "20,000!"
"Boom!" The audience was in an uproar, just such a broken notebook was actually shouted to the price of 20,000 crystals, you must know that according to Demacia's domestic purchasing power, 20,000 crystals can definitely be called a huge amount of money!
And the bidding reached this level, the host was not a fool, and even one, two, and three were exempted, and hurriedly announced: "20,000 crystals? Deal! Congratulations to the distinguished guests in the No. 1 box for taking the No. 21 competition, and the next competition we are going to launch is ......."
