……
"Mr. Chen, I apologize on his behalf if Jarvis caused you any trouble before. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"No need to apologize, Your Highness Hepburn. We just play fair, it's just that his methods are up for debate. The fact that I did not raise my gun was not a sign of my cowardice, but a mercy to the enemy, otherwise he would not be standing here intact now. ”
Jarvis was a little angry, but a chill surged through his heart at the thought that this guy had single-handedly defeated several well-trained, battle-experienced, and heavily armed mercenaries. They couldn't even find Chen Ergou's traces at that time, all the electronic equipment was out of order, if Chen Ergou really picked up the gun and fought back, the result was really hard to say......
Margaret Hepburn glanced at the two thoughtfully, "Jarvis, you go out first." ”
Jarvis was stunned for a moment, his face was very ugly, but he still walked out respectfully, and stood by the door with another bodyguard.
"Mr. Chen......"
"The princess can call me by my name, Hero, this is the English name I gave myself. ”
Margaret smiled, "Great name." ”
"Mr. Chen, I have come this time to buy back a relic of Rotgley, which was once in the treasure brochure, but it is not in this auction now. ”
Chen Ergou understood, "I don't know which item it is, some of it was indeed intercepted by me for collection, and some of it may still be repaired because it is somewhat damaged, and it is not on display." ”
Margaret said lightly, "It's a compass, a very ordinary compass." She described the shape of the object, a piece of green gold, with various animal carvings on the surface of the compass, but no pointers.
Chen Ergou's heart moved, and he remained silent on the surface, as if he was trying to remember whether there was such an item.
The color of "green gold" should be very conspicuous, but he was not impressed at all. I quickly contacted Dogan in my heart, "Is there a situation? Dogdan, do you have an impression of this compass?"
The dog's electronic eyes flashed rapidly, "I didn't find the compass." However, the discovery of what appeared to be a hidden compartment hindered the scanning. ”
"Dark grid...... Are you sure?"
"75% probability. Whether there is really a dark grid still needs to be confirmed. ”
"With such a high probability, it must be ironclad. Why couldn't you find out then?"
Dogan looked at him with disdain, "If there is no such thing, the probability of discovering that there is a hidden compartment is 0!"
"Well, you win. Which one is it?"
"In the basement, in the Indian gold statue. ”
Chen Ergou's initial understanding of the auction process came from online novels.
Later, when I really came into contact with the auction industry, I realized that it was not like that.
For example, really good things will be printed and distributed in advance or do a good job of publicity, so as to attract more people in demand to bid and raise the price, and most novels are often auctioned by huge good things, and only a few people auction, which is completely unreasonable, unless the person presiding over the auction is a brain-dead, otherwise there will definitely not be written in each novel, and the auction will leave suspense and surprises.
The auction house sells an item that he doesn't recognize at a very low price, and only the protagonist can recognize that it is actually a fragment of an artifact, an egg laid by a mythical beast, a branch of the World Tree, and other extremely valuable things.
With this kind of routine, it generally does not exist in reality.
Auction houses are very rich, if a thing can't identify the value, it will definitely not be sold at a low price, basically put it away by yourself and wait for someone who has the ability to appraise it, and this kind of auction usually has the following plot: "Auctioneer: We don't know the value of this item, only sell for 1W, protagonist: 1W." The onlookers who don't know the truth: This person is SB, spend 1W to buy this... And then the main character is complacent" similar to the plot.
Chen Ergou despised the routines in the novel when he recalled them, but he didn't expect that someone would really come to the auction today to pick up the leaks.
Luckily, the item was still at home.
Chen Ergou received the news and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I'm sorry I can't help you, it seems that I don't have such a compass in my belongings." ”
Margaret was stunned, she didn't expect this to be the result, "Are you sure there isn't?"
"I'm pretty sure. ”
Chen Ergou said: "After the treasure was brought back, the appraisal experts invited by Sotheby's conducted a special appraisal, including a silver coin with a clear grade. If it was green gold, I couldn't possibly not be impressed. ”
Margaret hesitated slightly, but still said, "Mr. Chen, you can think carefully about whether it is possible to hide in a certain secret compartment." ”
Chen Ergou was even more sure in his heart, "There is such a possibility, but there are a lot of items." I can't inspect every single item, maybe it will be in this auction. ”
"No more~"
Before Chen Ergou could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the princess. "There's nothing in that. ”
"In that case, Mr. Chen has a reluctant request, can I visit your private collection. ”
Chen Ergou didn't answer this time, sat opposite with a big sting, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it leisurely.
Margaret was stunned, only to realize that she was too eager. She has received an elite education since she was a child, and as a princess, she must have been exposed to a lot of things. He quickly adjusted and looked at him with a blank and disappointed expression, "Is there anything embarrassing?"
"Miss Margaret," he no longer calls Princess, "let's be open." What's in the green gold compass? If you want to pick up the leaks with me, then this meeting can end here. ”
"You're too careful," Margaret's chest rose and fell sharply, as if annoyed by his rudeness, but her face was still self-contained, "that's just the items my grandfather brought with him when he went to sea, and the royal family wanted to recover the items that had been left behind, and that's it." ”
"Grandfather again, Miss Margaret should ask your grandfather first if he would like to carry this pot. I'm afraid Rotgler wasn't Jarvis's maternal grandfather either. ”
Chen Ergou said: "There are a lot of tulip emblems in the treasure knight's full body armor, the armor is not empty, and the traces of bone decay in it are not like three hundred years ago, maybe it was earlier. Let me guess...... Around 1500, right, when the Spanish fleet was cruising the seas, the Duchy of Tulip sent troops all the time to the sea, and boarded this Spanish galleon, what was it for?"
"Mysterious mission or greater treasure?" I prefer the latter, Miss Margaret, what do you think?" a pair of deep eyes stared into her eyes.
The dog's voice kept echoing in his head: "The heart is racing, the endocrine is accelerating, and the analysis may be the right guess." ”
No matter how good the cultivation is, this is the end, Margaret will not act anymore, she will return to her arrogant nature and glared at him, "Huh" got up and snorted, "Hmph, let's talk about it when you find the compass." ”
The long hair was shaken, and he didn't even look back and walked out.
"If you find me, you'll smash it. ”
"You!"
Margaret staggered back and said indignantly, "A rude man, a mean fellow, is not a gentleman at all. ”
seemed to be very angry, but it was all these few words of abuse over and over again, which was like a drizzle for Chen Ergou. The dog is recording it, he really wants to quietly put this paragraph on the Internet, it is estimated that it will be very popular.
"Thank you for the compliment~"
Chen Ergou smiled, thinking that this is what an 18-year-old girl should look like. Maybe that's what she is, a brutal princess, "So I guessed right?"
"Hmph, right to what team, it's a big mistake!"
Margaret raised her finger and reprimanded, very unhappy: "Do you think you are very smart, you are just self-righteous." Actually, it doesn't hurt to tell you, anyway, without a pointer, you can't find it at all. ”
