Section 22 The Controversy over the Night Pearl
Harry snickered secretly, of course it was impossible to fight properly, but if Grom took a fancy to it, wouldn't he still release the water? It was obvious that he was here to collect apprentices, and he was a lot of verbosity, and he also used Excalibur and Oberline as a disguise, this Grom was really a little entangled. But why did you pick the auction house to announce the news?
"Okay, our bank will soon inform the whole country of the news, and if you are interested, you can also challenge Lord Grom in advance to see if you can win the return of Excalibur!" the auctioneer smiled and joked.
"Although this next item is not very expensive in terms of preciousness, it was brought by our Emperor Zengjin!" After the auctioneer waited for everyone to calm down, he threw out a bombshell and uncovered the tray of red cloth sent by the staff, and in the middle lay a night pearl the size of a ping-pong ball that emitted an orange-red 'color' light.
"This night pearl is one of the tributes from the East China Sea island nation of Monrok 10 years ago, His Majesty the Emperor once set it in the crown as a decoration, three years ago due to the economic crisis, he took it down, thinking that it was too luxurious to carry it. Now, the Night Pearl brought by His Majesty the Emperor is in front of you, if you want to own it, please bid! The reserve price of 10,000 gold coins, 1,000 gold coins plus one, start!"
At this time, Spear Child, who was beside Harry, was extremely excited, and enthusiastically threw himself into the competition for this pearl of the night. Soon the price exceeded 20,000, and the value of this night pearl would certainly not exceed 15,000, but because it was once set in the crown, it invisibly increased its collection value, but after the 20,000 gold coins, there were obviously fewer bidders, and it seemed that there were not too many people who were hot, and Harry's side was one of them.
"23,000 gold coins!" Spear Boy shouted out the offer, but his face looked a little hideous, and he was sweating profusely.
"24,000 gold coins!" a middle-aged man who looked like a merchant in the distance overshadowed Spear without hesitation.
"25,000 gold coins!" Spear hesitated slightly, but still gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Hey, don't hold on if you are reluctant, even if His Majesty the Emperor has brought it, it has nothing to do with you, do you think you are the Emperor yourself?" Harry's leisurely thorn 'excited' the son of Spear, but the other party seemed to ignore Harry, and glared at the middle-aged merchant who was bidding with him.
"26,000 gold coins!" The other party seems to be a stubborn person, and the price of this -α-р.(1)~(6)~κχS.сòМ seems to be on the same page, the difference is that the merchant over there looked at Spear Gongzi with a provocative face, but he did not feel sorry for his gold coins.
"Two... Two... Thousand...... Seven hundred gold coins!" Skill Spil shouted out a price in a trembling voice, which seemed to have reached his limit, and looked at the middle-aged merchant with a fierce face, as if he wanted to swallow him in one gulp.
"30,000 gold coins!" The other party didn't take him seriously at all, and directly added another 3,000 gold coins.
Spear couldn't offer a higher price, stared at each other with fiery eyes, and stood up violently and shouted over there: "Damn merchant, report your name, and I will definitely let my father arrest you and throw you in prison!"
The other party obviously didn't know him, and replied without showing weakness: "I am doing business in accordance with the law, but it is not who your father's father is, why did you send me to prison." ”
"My father is the Empire's Minister of the Interior, Count Spear, who is in charge of you mercenary merchants!" said Skill Spil, with a smug look.
Hearing the name of Count Spear, there was a trace of panic in the man's eyes, but he immediately calmed down: "Even Count Spear can't arrest me and put me in prison for no reason!"
"Hmph, if you offend me, that's the best reason, if you are willing to give me the Night Pearl, I will not blame the past!" Spear Boy was a little dissatisfied with the other party's reaction, but he was determined to be the Night Pearl, as for letting his father catch the other party, he really didn't have this certainty.
"Pierre's Son, please don't have threatening customer's remarks in the auction house, otherwise, I'll have to ask you out!" The auctioneer seemed to be very unhappy with Spear's son, and a Home Secretary really didn't think of him, and his own owner was much more powerful than Count Spear. The auction house can tolerate the top powerhouses such as Grom and high-level magicians to overstep the rules a little, but a noble prince has no reason to go wild.
"You!" Skill Spear was about to get angry, and the man next to him seemed to know the background of the auction house, and quickly stopped the straw boy.
Ignoring Skill Spil, although he was not afraid of him, there was no need to make too much trouble, and turned to the middle-aged merchant and said: "This auction house can guarantee the safety of the goods obtained from the auction, and any disputes caused by the auction will be handled by the bank with full authority, and you will not be 'lost' or threatened." This sentence clearly does not take Count Spear seriously.
Although Spear's follower knew that the auction house had a big background, he didn't expect to despise the influence of a home minister like this and not give face to his master at all, and he really couldn't figure out what the auction house relied on. But you must not let the straw bale boy in front of you offend the other party.
Hearing the auctioneer's words, the middle-aged businessman was completely relieved, the reputation of the auction house for so many years was definitely trustworthy, and the background of the auction house was strong, and he also knew a little about it.
"30,000 gold coins!
No one made any more bids, so the pearl of the night went to the middle-aged merchant. Apparently unwilling to give up, Prince Spear whispered something in his attendant's ear, but Harry listened intently: "When the merchant is out of the city, he will kill him on the way and take away his pearl of the night." ”
"Childe, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this, it may bring trouble to the master!"
"What are you afraid of, throw the corpse away after killing, who can know that we did it!" said Spear Childe disapprehantly.
"But young master, if you make such a fuss today, others will guess that we did it!" his subordinates still tried to dissuade him.
"That's just speculation, with my father in the way, nothing will happen. Who would really go against my father for the sake of a merchant, and even if the auction house had a big background, and we didn't do it in his land, they wouldn't be asking for trouble, would they?"
Seeing that there was no way to dissuade him, the subordinate had to agree to Master Spear's idea.
The auction was quickly coming to an end, and the auction finally ended with the 12 cores of the last group of high-grade wind type demonic beasts being 'delivered' for 8,000 gold coins.
