Chapter 18: The Same Kind of People
"Poofโโ"
Hearing the auctioneer's shout of "100,000 gold coins", Princess Lena squirted out the black tea in her mouth, and turned her head to stare at the two horses in the center of the stage as if she had seen a ghost, thinking that the bidder must be crazy.
When Ronin told her to "consume the other guests' gold coins" by shouting the price, Lena was dismissive. Who could come here to participate in the auction, who didn't have 1.8 million gold coins on them? And who was a novice who had never seen the world? So she concluded that Luo Ning's plan must have had little effect and could not make too many waves.
Unexpectedly, this was the first product, which surprised her. 100,000 gold coins, according to the price of the Morrowind Royal Capital, let alone two horses, even twenty horses can be bought. This monster is indeed practical, and it runs fast. But at the same time, they are also a magical beast that can be domesticated. Not to mention elsewhere, in the hunting grounds of the royal family, there are hundreds of horses in better condition.
"It's crazy!" said Princess Lena, wiping her mouth.
Similar exclamations were found in other boxes. After all, 100,000 gold coins is not a small amount, and they are all very curious about what kind of wealthy people are sitting in this box and box 3 who can have such a big deal.
"One hundred and eleven thousand!"
At this moment, Luo Ning suddenly opened his mouth and raised the price again.
Lena got up after hearing this: "That's enough, Luo Ning! If the other party doesn't increase the price, who will pay the 100,000 gold coins?!"
Luo Ning pressed his hands to signal Lena to calm down: "Don't worry, listen to me: the No. 1 package will be added to 100,000 gold coins at one time, I guess this must be the limit of their psychological price!"
"And you're going to add more?"
Luo Ning nodded: "Of course you have to add it! That guy's mistake is that he was in too much of a hurry, and suddenly raised the price, which made me see the flaw!"
Lena and the Magic Bell asked at the same time, "What flaw?"
"He still had a fluke mentality, hoping that I would withdraw after shouting out 100,000 gold coins, so that their loss would be 0 instead of 50,000! Believe it or not..."
I heard the auctioneer pick up the wooden hammer and ask loudly: "Guest No. 1, 120,000 gold coins! 120,000 gold coins, is there anything higher?"
Lena was convinced, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "What a cunning and lucky boy! This kind of uncontrollable opponent can also be touched by you! The people in Box No. 1 must be about to go crazy, right?"
Lena didn't guess wrong, in box No. 1, the mysterious guest was in a hurry at this time. And the drinks and fruits on the table were also knocked over by him and turned into a mess.
In the end, he simply ordered his subordinates next to him: "If I follow up and increase the price, I will be stunned directly, and you will continue to bid!"
"Obey!" the subordinates only said yes, and complained bitterly in their hearts.
Box No. 1 finally thought of a countermeasure here, but Luo Ning didn't accept it. When he heard the figure of 120,000 gold coins, he sat down directly, and with a smile on his face, he took a string of berries from the magic bell and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing this, Lena smiled and asked, "What's the matter, don't you continue to increase the price?"
Luo Ning desperately swallowed a mouthful full of juice, wiped his mouth and said, "Of course I don't add it." As we all know, I, Luo Ning, am a man who is cautious and cautious and never takes risks with himself!"
Lena was amused by him: "Which battle is not an adventure?
The auctioneer's wooden hammer fell, and the two horses ended up in the hands of Guest No. 1, who was rubbing his forehead with his hand. The other people in the box began to talk about the scene just now, and couldn't help but guess the true identity of Guest No. 1.
The second item was quickly brought to the stage by two elf girls with angry figures.
Luo Ning stared at the proud curves of the two little beauties, and couldn't help but let out a "wow" exclamation, which caused Lena to also let out a dissatisfied cold snort.
But this episode did not affect the auction. The second item is a magic scroll. The magic in this scroll was written by the Archmage Olga himself, and it is a trick that the Shadow Assassin cannot see through, the "Invisibility Technique", which allows the user to be invisible for three minutes, and cannot be seen through by a level 5 professional. It is precisely because of the strength of its writer that the meaning of this scroll is by no means comparable to the low-level magic of 5 gold coins written by Luo Ning. It can be said that when used properly, this scroll can even save the user from death.
"The starting price is 10,000 gold coins, those who are interested should bid, and the highest bidder will win!" After the auctioneer finished explaining, he directly gave a bid.
"One... Ten thousand!"
Luo Ning's head was full of black lines, and he remembered the evaluation of "up to 5 gold coins" he got when he went to the Mercenary Guild to sell magic scrolls, and felt that people were better than people, and they could really anger people.
"Twenty thousand!" As if angry, Luo Ning directly doubled. He always has to let others shed some blood in order to balance his heart.
"Twenty-five thousand!" said the bidder from the guests in Box Four. Here sits the leader of the nationally famous Sacred Sword Mercenary Regiment, Neo Silver Emblem, and his deputy, Devin Bronze Axe. The two of them came here for nothing else, just to get their hands on this scroll. In this way, in the next big business that requires hunting seventh-level demonic beasts, they won't lose too much.
"Twenty-six thousand!" Luo Ning didn't care what the other party had for this scroll, anyway, if someone wanted to buy it, he would increase the price!
In the No. 4 box, Dai Wen heard Luo Ning's offer, and his face suddenly sank: "Oh no, the regiment leader, it's the guy in the No. 3 box again! We may be bleeding profusely this time!"
Neo was even more calm and unmoved: "Follow the price increase first, little by little! No matter when, be patient with your prey!"
"Twenty-seven thousand!"
"Twenty thousand eight!" Luo Ning didn't mess up at all, anyway, he asked Lina, this kind of scroll is not a loss to buy less than 40,000!
"Twenty-nine thousand!"
......
"Forty thousand!" Davin shouted, and after shouting the price, he turned to Neo: "Tu Chang, this is already the limit price!
Neo took a deep breath: "If it weren't for this stealth technique, how many people would have died to deal with that beast?"
Devin lowered his head, a helpless look on his face: "At least half! Otherwise, half of the deaths would be ideal!"
"Keep adding it! If you don't have enough money, you can deduct it from our coffers! If you don't have enough, you can borrow it from me! If you don't have enough money, you can earn it again, but once the brothers and sisters in the group die, they won't be able to live again!"
"But President!" Daven was a little anxious. In his opinion, as long as the soul of the mercenary group, Neo Silver Emblem, is immortal, even if he is the only one left, the Holy Sword Mercenary Group can regain its glory. Others are at best just additives that can be replaced at any time.
"Forty thousand!" At this moment, Luo Ning continued to increase the price.
"This!" Davin hesitated. And just when he was fighting in his heart, the trumpet that shouted the price was suddenly taken away.
"Fifty thousand!" cried Neolang, his voice full of unquestionable determination.
"Commander, you..." Devin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Neo: "The other people are just the heads of the Holy Sword Mercenary Group, even if they are all dead, it doesn't matter!" Neo put down his horn and locked his eyes on the deputy who had been following him for five years: "As long as Neo Silver Emblem is still there, the Holy Sword Mercenary Group will regain its glory!"
Davin's eyes widened unconsciously when he was told the main thing, revealing a look of bewilderment.
"Hmph, actually, I don't blame you! Although this truth is simple, there are very few people who really understand it! It does not rely on the strong strength of some mercenaries, but on the fire of courage that has been alive and forth for thousands of years, and the hearts of the people who have gathered from all over the world to unite in this big family! Therefore, whether it is Neo Silver Emblem or the little ones who have just joined the mercenary group, as long as they wear the badge of the Holy Sword, they are an indispensable member of the Holy Sword Mercenary Group! As the leader, I can't give up any of them! So let's continue to increase the price, Davin, it seems that the third guest is unwilling to let us go!"
Neo's words brought tears to Davin's eyes. wiped away his tears, only to find that the auctioneer on the stage was already shouting "fifty-three for the second time".
"Fifty-five thousand!" he shouted hurriedly. Although I still couldn't hold back my tears, the psychological confusion and contradictions were gone!
In the No. 3 box, Luo Ning saw that the other party was still raising the price, thought for a moment, and shouted out the price of "fifty-seven". This was nearly half of the original value of the scroll, and if it weren't for the words he heard Lena say, "If we had this scroll, the road would be much safer!", he wouldn't have continued to take the risk. After all, the fourth guest has already begun to hesitate, and God knows if they will fall for this hook and bait.
As soon as this thought came to mind, I heard the auctioneer continue to shout happily: "Fifty-nine thousand!"
In addition to those people who eat melons, he can get a small share, and he is probably the happiest one present. According to incomplete statistics, until now, he has said at least five times in his heart that Luo Ning, a-stirring stick, "did a good job".
The decisiveness of the other party of "60,000" strengthened Luo Ning's confidence. But this made Lena feel inappropriate.
"Forget it, Luo Ning, this kind of life-saving thing, don't rob it with them! What if the fourth guest has an urgent need to take this scroll?! Besides, we don't have much money, so there's no need to keep fighting!"
"We don't know who will be an obstacle to buying the Xingyue Stone!" Luo Ning's expression remained unchanged, and he even took the time to call the price to "sixty-five thousand", "They don't have any difficulties, do they need scrolls, it's my business! There are only two kinds of events in my world: one is beneficial to Wendy, and I will do my best to do this kind of thing! The other is harmful to Wendy, and I will try to avoid this kind of thing." If someone else does something like that, then I'm sorry, even if it's death, I'll drag them into the water!"
Lena stopped trying to persuade him, and she didn't feel angry. When the scroll was finally bought by the fourth guest for 80,000 gold coins, she even felt inexplicably happy, and felt that Luo Ning was inexplicably pleasing to the eye.
Lena hated the evil and darkness that disrupted the order, and at the same time hated the meaningless, purposeless self-sacrifice! The only thing Lena cared about was the people she loved and the people who loved her.
So in essence: Lena Winston and Ronin Campbell are the same kind of people!
