Looking at the boxes all over the ground being labeled as new owners, the merchants who failed in the auction sighed faintly and enjoyed the last meal that the workers had just served, Spanish ham. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As for the successful merchants, they happily poured themselves their glasses of wine, and laughed as if they had picked up gold ingots for nothing.

Only the giants of West Asia, who always kept a straight face, rubbed the agate ball, and looked at the one holding the rhinoceros horn with the rest of their eyes, calculating in their hearts how to get that batch of ginseng, and really going to invite an extremely dangerous person like John Cena?

Abraham's Manor, which was haunted by excitement and shock, finally regained its proper tranquility after the auction, and people ate and talked in whispers, recalling whether they had behaved ungentlemanly or unladylike before.

However, the silence lasted only two minutes.

Ares walked out of the manor gate and soon returned, followed by several of his men, who walked in order, carrying a large box three or four meters long, if he had to give it a shape, it would only be a coffin.

When they saw this hoodoo, the people immediately panicked, and they thought that Ares was trying to kill someone.

Without hesitation, the prince's confidant bodyguards surrounded them and clenched their swords in front of Ares.

Even more intimidating than them were the Bull Warriors, a hundred of them, wearing only a piece of leather armor in this cold winter, and they were shirtless and fearless of the cold winter.

Seeing this, Ares stopped moving forward, signaled his men to put the box on the ground carefully, then looked around and smiled, "I just missed something, I guess someone must be interested." ”

Everyone's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and they couldn't help but be a little curious about the contents of the box.

The prince skillfully cut a piece of ham and stuffed it into his mouth, and said to Zheng Fei nonchalantly, "Guess what?"

Zheng Fei shook his head.

"This guy wouldn't have dug up the tomb of some ancient king, would he?" the prince sneered, feeling deep disdain for Ares.

After attracting enough attention, Ares crouched down and patted the box as if he were a squirrel, telling a story.

"About a year ago, I went to the north near the glaciers to harvest mink, and because of the bad weather, I got lost. The caravan walked in the ice and snow for two days and two nights, and still didn't find a way out, maybe it was the call of God that made me find a big guy......"

With that, he pulled out the sharp dagger at his waist and pried open the box little by little.

The lid of the box was removed, and those who were close to saw that the "coffin" was lying in a dark yellow shape, which was more than two meters long and curved like some kind of weapon.

What is it? They whisper, afraid to show their ignorance.

No one associated it with ivory because it was too big and the color of the ivory wasn't that dark.

The giant merchant who had photographed the ginseng before came over, his eyebrows furrowed, his rhinoceros horn in his hand, and stared at the mammoth ivory silently.

As mentioned earlier, he is from Tripoli, North Africa.

Africa is rich in ivory and rhinoceros horn, and he started out in the ivory business, and gradually amassed the deep pockets that he has now, even in the mega-port of Tripoli, he is also a well-known figure.

Therefore, he is very familiar with and studied ivory, and he used to be very fond of playing, and he did not forget to take his exquisite ivory carvings with him almost everywhere he went, but then he gradually got tired of playing with rhinoceros horn.

He had a vague feeling that the thing in front of him was ivory......

At this time, a child muttered.

"What a strange tree ......"

That's right, if the mammoth tusks were straight, it would look like a tree trunk.

The child's innocence made the adults laugh and pinch his cute face.

Ares smiled, glanced around, looked at Zheng Fei who was sitting next to the prince, and said, "Well-informed Oriental giant businessman, do you recognize this thing?"

Zheng Fei raised an eyebrow at the prince.

"Why don't you go over and have a look?"

"It's just a piece of wood. ”

Having said this, the prince shook his collar and went with joy.

Standing in front of the crate, the prince did not think it was ivory, and stared at it twice.

"Hey, what the hell is this?" he asked Ares.

"Ivory. Ares smirked, waiting to receive the amazement of the crowd.

Who would have thought, but what he ushered in was criticism.

"Liar! how can the ivory be so big!"

"You can't be that what you just sold us is fake, right?

The endless discussion made Ares very aggrieved, and he threw a look at Zheng Fei as if he was asking for help.

"I've already followed the lines......" he muttered to himself.

In the midst of the insults, Zheng Fei raised his arms and shouted.

Slowly, the restless crowd quieted down, waiting to hear the circus owner's opinion.

Truth be told, Zheng Fei is grateful to the mayor for bringing him in to perform the circus, and if it weren't for the powerful performances of the natives, he wouldn't have been able to build credibility so smoothly.

"It's, indeed, ivory. ”

Zheng Fei's tone was full of excitement, and he involuntarily squatted down and gently rubbed on the surface of the ivory.

Of course, the excitement is faked.

In an instant, boiling!

How is it possible?!

The people in the near area huddled together, and the people in the distance also threw down their dishes and rushed over, blocked out of the human wall, and jumped high hoping to take a look, and the gentlemanly demeanor was once again gone.

Half a minute later, perhaps tired, or perhaps wanting to hear the next development, the crowd consciously calmed down and remained silent.

The most astonished was the prince.

He stared at Zheng Fei in a daze, his eyes full of doubts.

He saw that Zheng Fei nodded with great conviction.

With Ares' permission, the giant merchant with the rhinoceros horn crouched down to rub, knock, and pinch with his fingernails under the gaze of the people.

Judging for a long time, he finally stood up, looked up at the dim winter day, exhaled in disbelief, and was silent for a long time.

"Guys, I've been making ivory for over a decade, and I can say with certainty that it is indeed ivory in terms of material. ”

"Bring out the evidence. ”

The prince's pupils shone with a strange brilliance after being filled with astonishment, and he clenched his fists tightly and held his breath.

"Ivory is hard and oily to the touch, and the crafts made from it are generally white or light yellow, and after a certain period of playing and touching, they will gradually turn pale yellow, dark yellow, and finally yellowish-brown, as we see. ”

"Over time, some ivory objects will have shallow cracks on the surface, like hair strands, and the cracks are characterized by continuous cracks, some horizontal and some vertical, and some in the shape of circles, showing a clear reticulation. ”

After a pause, he looked puzzled and said, "In every way, it's ivory, but I don't understand what kind of elephant grows out of such a big tusk." )
