Chapter 191: The Auction Shocks
As the auction of the epic sword progressed, Ayton was surprised to find that with the addition of Grover, who had not yet spoken, the four dukes' families of Huangyao City had all arrived.
There was no shortage of royals in the VIP box, but this time they seemed to have a tacit understanding, not to fight like robbers, but to show that they were calm, but there was no lack of sarcasm in their words, and every time they bid superiorly, they would tell the scandals of the hostile families.
In the end, the wind attribute 'epic' long sword was obtained by the Campbell family at a high price of 300,000.
The Campbell family is not the richest of the four dukes, but they are the most powerful in the army, and Grand Duke Campbell is the commander of the Bright Blue Knights, and the number one person in the military.
They really put a lot of money into this epic.
Mental arithmetic, minus the five percent handling fee, it is 280,000 and 50 thousand gold coins, which is a fortune...
The only question is how to complete the payment he spent a total of 12,800 gold coins not long ago.
At the beginning, the 'excellent' long sword was estimated at a hundred gold coins in the market, the 'rare' long sword was thousands, and the 'epic' weapon reached hundreds of thousands, so what if it was a 'legend'...
Thinking of this, Ayton couldn't help but touch the Fraud Orb hanging from his chest...
There was still one last item in the auction that didn't come up, and no one on the field had left, and Ayton and the two were embarrassed to go first, watching the finale with the mentality of watching the excitement, what was more valuable than an 'epic' weapon?
The first thing that catches your eye is a delicate sandalwood box, in which a fist-sized white flower lies quietly, and there is a faint mist lingering inside, each petal is crystal clear, flashing a little dazzling light, exuding a brilliance that can only bloom in a fairyland.
"Shelley's flower!?There's actually a Shelley's flower here!" Mei'er's excited voice came from her consciousness, as if she had seen a rare treasure.
Not only the little succubus, but also the owners of the field invariably probed and watched, and even the super nobles in the VIP rooms around them gasped.
The items were far beyond their imagination, but because of a scruple, the atmosphere seemed a little dull.
Seeing this scene, Ayton couldn't help but be interested: "Mei'er, what is the purpose of Shelley's flower?"
Mei'er stared at it for a moment and muttered, "Shelley's flower was originally a flower that grew in the heavenly realm, and there is a very low probability that it will fall into the human world. ”
"Celestial Realm?" Ayton was stunned, there are Heavenly Realm and Hell in this world, but anyone who is involved with these two must be very powerful. However, the Heavenly Hell was too far away for them, and as a dark elf, he still had five hundred years to live freely.
"Actually, this thing is just like our hellish netherworld mandala, it's not particularly rare, but it has a significant effect on humans, because it can greatly improve the mortal body's perception of the elements, especially the affinity of light attribute magic, I thought I would never see it, I really didn't expect it..."
Mei'er said in the end, for some reason, with a hint of melancholy in her tone.
Ayton didn't notice the strangeness of her tone, touched his chin and looked at the snow-white flowers, it just so happened that he was extremely mentally strong, but his perception was medium, if he could get this thing, then it would not be easy to cultivate light magic in the future, and completely cover up the dark magic aura on his body.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is one thing I need to make solemn statement," the auctioneer's tone suddenly became solemn.
"This Shelley flower has nothing to do with the Holy See, it is just a coincidence of the family behind us, everyone can rest assured!"
As soon as these words came out, the people in the audience suddenly boiled, and they couldn't hold back the fanaticism in their hearts anymore, and they made quotations one after another, and many high-ranking officials and nobles secretly sent people to contact their adults and ask them to come over to call the shots, and even hinted at bringing more people...
The scene was even more violent than the reaction of the 'epic' long sword that had just been auctioned.
The auction of the longsword at least made a noise, but the flower of Shelley was hidden very deeply, and it was no wonder that the nobles were not well prepared.
"Brother, what is this thing?" Ariel was not interested in this kind of thing, she was extremely good mentally and perceptively.
"This is something that can improve my light attribute perception, but it's a pity that it doesn't belong to me. Ayton let out a long sigh and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, but whether it was his status or economic strength, he couldn't compare to these palace nobles.
But after thinking about it, why would the people of the Carlyle family take out such a good thing and sell it?
"Eh, I see..."
"What's wrong?Mei'er, is there something wrong with this flower?" Ayton groaned in his heart, there was no reason for the Carlyle family to directly put it up for auction if it was such a good thing.
"It's nothing, it's just that this Shelley flower contains some magazines, and if you take it directly, you are likely to explode and die. ”
“......”
The bidding continued, the Campbell family withdrew from the stage for buying the epic sword, and Grover, the eldest son of the Halle family, who had a slight holiday with Ayton, stood up excitedly and shouted, "340,000 gold coins!"
After he finished speaking, several family guards rushed out of the VIP room directly, with heavy bags in their hands, and when they opened it, they were filled with purple gold coins.
Everyone is dumbfounded, how well prepared they are?!
"A bag is about five hundred purple gold coins, a total of seven, you can count them, if no one on the scene bids higher, this Shelley flower belongs to our Halle family!" Grover walked out of the wing, and glanced at everyone in a high tone.
This number is expected, weapons are always only external help, and Shelley's flower really increases its own strength.
However, the flower of Shelley is hard to find, many people present did not carry so many gold coins, among the four dukes, from the northern Emerald Plains of the kingdom, the oldest duke in the kingdom, some people from the Dupont family came forward to shout.
"Wait, my lord is on his way here! there will be a higher bid, so wait a moment. ”
The heavy voice does not allow a trace of doubt, 340,000 is already a high-level, and he does not dare to make a decision in vain for such a major event.
As the chief auctioneer of the little obsidian, he naturally did not dare to disobey the orders of the two dukes, and he shrank his head and did not dare to speak.
"Hmph, the rules of the auction, the highest bidder wins, it is impossible for the Obsidian Chamber of Commerce to do such a self-destructive thing" As the son of the Duke, Grover was not weak, stood up and glared at the DuPont family who walked out of the VIP room not far away.
"That's right, the highest bidder wins, which is the way of the businessman, but now the time has not come, how about waiting for a while to come to the highest bidder?"
In the eastern part of the kingdom, near the Endless Sea, the nobles who hold the greatest wealth of the kingdom, the people of the Tud family, stood up and said loudly, although it was in accordance with Grover's words, but the meaning was to help the people of the Dupont family.
Grover sneered, he didn't understand what these two people meant, obviously waiting for the adults behind the scenes to arrive, and then bidding together, when the time comes, among the four dukes, the Halle family, which is located in the southern hills of the kingdom, and the weakest strength will definitely not be able to get the flower of Shelley.
However, he also expected that the other party would definitely say this, and the Campbell family in the western border of the kingdom, the flower of Shelley, who knew that they could no longer fight, remained neutral, and watched the other three families fight with each other with a smile on their faces.
But he has an advantage, that is, he learned the news of Shelley's flower in advance, and if it doesn't work on the surface, it will come to the dark!
"Hmph, the auction house, the highest bidder wins, and there must be a time standard, I remember it should be within ten breaths, if no one takes out so many gold coins on the spot, then this Shelley flower, isn't it..."
The female auctioneer smiled dryly, not knowing what to do, her back was oozing with sweat, soaked in thin silk clothes, clinging to her body, outlining a seductive figure, but the attention of the audience was focused on the game of these three families, to see who could win this Shelley flower and whose family would fall to it...
"Hmph, this Shelley's flower is really a treasure, how can it be compared to other ordinary things, naturally there can't be a time limit, Bruce Tud, right..."A tall and thin young man about twenty-seven or eighteen years old walked out of the VIP room with a smile on his face.
"Sure enough, you, Kaelin Dupont, that's right, I like it. A young man who was bloated, dressed extremely luxuriously, and was about the same age as Kailin in his mouth, touched the deep-sea pearl string in his hand and walked out of the VIP room with a smile.
"The way of a businessman, you should maximize your own interests and wait for a while, perhaps, the small 340,000 gold coins, my father really doesn't see it. ”
Hearing the words of the two families, Grover was not annoyed, but sneered, his eyes fell on the female auctioneer like a torch, and shouted in a deep voice: "Could it be that the two of you plan to disrupt the order of the auction? 240,000 gold coins are here today, are you going to sell them!"
The auctioneer on the stage had beads of sweat on her forehead, and her feet trembled slightly, because when Grover looked at her, the other two ducal families were also looking at her, and finally, everyone's eyes fell on her.
If she said something wrong, she would offend a powerful family that she would never be able to reach, and she couldn't imagine the consequences...
"Brother, do you want this Shelley flower too?" Ariel asked Ayton in a low voice, who shook her head helplessly.
"Who doesn't want such a good thing, but what can we do, there are so many people, we can't be directly strong..."
Bang bang bang ...
A series of explosions rang out suddenly, not the deafening sound, but a dull low.
Before everyone could react, the black smoke obscured their vision, making people unable to reach out and lose sight, and their first instinctive reaction was to cover their mouths and noses.
"Ariel!" At this moment, Ayton quickly drew the long sword behind his back, pressed the back of the girl behind him, and looked at the surrounding room vigilantly, there were only two entrances to the VIP room, one was the wooden door at the back that only allowed single people to enter, and the other was the window sill in front.
Unlike the calm two, the audience suddenly erupted in chaotic shouts.
In the black smoke that did not see the light of day, people looked panicked, afraid that this sudden black smoke contained highly poisonous, the gentleman shouted in horror, and the family guards groped in panic to find the figure of the master, the young master...
Time goes back five seconds ago, the family behind the Obsidian Chamber of Commerce, the heir to the Carlyle family, Cleveland is in the background, preparing to deal with the dispute ahead.
The original hot potato was pushed to the front desk, naturally no one dared to compete secretly, and no one in the Duke family lost this face, once it was dealt with, not only their Carlyle family would go to the next level, but also get an unimaginable huge amount of money.
To his unexpectedness, there was a gray-clothed man hiding on the beam of the house! She successfully avoided the guards twice as strong as usual, and launched a surprise attack unexpectedly.
At the last moment, his fifth-order peak personal guard blocked in front of him, blocking this fatal blow for him, and when he came back to his senses, the body of the fifth-order peak guard fell straight in front of him.
In a short moment, he only saw the other party's short orange curly hair, and that funny and frightened smiling face...
