Chapter 39: Cutting off the beard

"Lot 7 is a skeletal sword excavated from a ruin, which has been identified as a magic weapon and has some special effects!"

There are not many items in this kind of small auction, only 10 to 15 items at a time, and in the second half of the year, the items that come out are undoubtedly more and more rare.

The skeletal sword was locked on the skeletal sword from the first second it came to power.

The faint wail of the undead in his ears and the negative energy that continued to overflow made Donald's eyes squint subconsciously.

This is definitely not a simple magic weapon or a strange thing!

"Servit......"

Stephanie, as an alien, is also sensitive to negative energy, and said softly.

"Don't worry, let's see what it is. ”

Unlike the two previous guns, Donald was undoubtedly more curious about this weapon.

When the wooden box was opened, the ice-blue fluorescence immediately illuminated the faces of the nobles in the front row.

When the light cleared, everyone could see the sword in its true form.

Weird!

Yes, its appearance is not the evil that Donald had guessed before, but it gives people a strange feeling, the color of the entire long sword is only gray and white, and even the sword body is gray and white with a bone texture, as if it is not a sword at all, but a piece of bone left over from some creature.

It is also unique in the shape of the sword, different from the common cross-shaped gauntlets or the arc-shaped gauntlets like Western swords, this long sword does not exist at all, there is only a hollow prismatic animal bone between the hilt and the sword body, and the blue light comes from one of the suspended gems.

This special way of appearing can be said to have earned enough eyeballs, and the curiosity of the big names present was completely mobilized.

"In order to prove its power to everyone, I am going to conduct an experiment on the spot, and the process may be a little bloody, please forgive me...... Someone!"

The old man of the auction did not talk much nonsense, but chose to display it on the spot.

So in a whisper, a python with the thickness of a bowl on the right side of the auction table was carried up in an iron cage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please watch the next scene carefully, so as not to miss the wonderful scene. ”

Donald thought that there would be some kind of guard or someone else to demonstrate, but before he could think about it, the old man grabbed the hilt of his sword and stabbed the python in the iron cage.

The moment the blade broke through the python's skin, a touch of blood immediately spread back from the tip of the sword, and the original pale blue shimmer was dyed scarlet in an instant.

Donald stared at the longsword, and he was a little surprised by what happened next.

It didn't take long for the blood-colored light to bloom and began to climb along the hilt of the sword to begin to cling to the old man's body, and in just a few seconds, the thin old man was like drinking those potions that forcibly stimulated his strength, and his body began to swell faintly, and then with a low shout, he swung his sword and slashed towards the iron cage.

Break it off!

Everyone knows that this auctioneer is an ordinary old man, his strength is not to mention this kind of iron cage, even if he changes a wooden cage, it is estimated that it will be enough, but now he easily smashes the iron cage, obviously the power brought by this long sword.

"The Nameless Sword can strengthen the wielder and restore physical strength by absorbing biological blood, even an ordinary person like me can become a powerful warrior with it, and it seems that there are some other special abilities that everyone needs to discover for themselves...... The starting price is 200 gold pounds, and each increase must not be less than 20 gold pounds!"

"260 gold pounds!"

As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, someone next to him couldn't wait to shout.

"Bloodsucking strengthening, plundered power...... 360 gold pounds!"

Donald didn't give anyone a chance to bargain with him, and directly added 100 gold pounds, directly suppressing all those who were ready to bid, and did not give them time to think about it.

"360 gold pounds for the first time!"

"360 gold pounds for the second time!"

"360 gold pounds for the third time!"

"Deal!"

After three confirmations, the gavel was dropped, and the sword was withdrawn, and Donald clenched his fist, a smile on his face.

Despite the high price quoted, he thought he had made it.

This sword is undoubtedly worth more than Donald's offer for some melee aliens, and if it is placed at the original Demingham sea auction, it may even be called 400 gold pounds or even higher, because the aliens gathered there are all guys who lick blood with knife heads, and the exploration of overseas islands makes them fight all year round, and this weapon that can strengthen their combat effectiveness and endurance is definitely the first choice for most melee aliens.

But who let the vast majority of those present be pampered aristocrats and capitalists, who will not appear on the front line of the battle, and those who want to bargain are more interested in buying back and experiencing the feeling of being strong, rather than really trying to use this long sword to slash others.

Of course, as a wizard, this weapon was of little use to Donald, and it was for another purpose to spend a lot of money on this particular longsword.

.....

"Lot 8, 70% of Steve Minerals, because there are some commercial materials involved, so this lot will have Ms. Steve explain to us. ”

After several lots in a row, Donald finally waited for his goal, straightened his back, and prepared to listen to the mining company's operations.

Several mines in the Howling Forest have already been secretly marked, and the construction of the private train station and the laying of the railroad tracks have been carried out to a third of the extent, and he is still looking forward to the day when the mine and the private train station will be completed together.

Under the watchful eyes of the auctioneers, Mrs. Steve, dressed in a long purple dress, slowly walked onto the stage from behind.

With long pale blonde hair, delicate facial features and plump figure, coupled with a graceful and quiet temperament, even Donald has to praise this lady for indeed having the capital to be remembered.

"Steve Minerals has three teams of mining that are currently of the highest standard, each of whom has been promoted by my husband, who is experienced, hard-working, and has no problems with its reputation, in addition to the well-established business channels and several long-established storage warehouses in Marta City, and a considerable number of well-honed and mature employees within the company......"

To be able to stand up and face them, the number one in East Germany, Mrs. Steve was obviously well prepared.

According to her, Donald is almost certain that 70 percent of the shares in the auction will be charged a relatively high price.

Donald doesn't care about this, it is a worthwhile deal, and there is no problem in his opinion to spend more money, after all, as long as the minerals are successfully mined, it is a matter of no profit for him, and there is no need to waste his mind on such a trivial matter.

But some people don't think so.

"Ms. Steve, as far as I know, two of the three mining teams within Steve Mines are already discussing pay with you, and you seem to have had problems with your business channels lately, as for the well-honed and mature employees you are talking about...... I'm afraid that less than half of it is left, and your company's business has been suspended for nearly a month because of these things, and this kind of thing seems to me to be talking about. ”

A somewhat thick voice came from the other side of the auction, and Donald turned his head for the first time, and saw a pot-bellied man leaning against his position to express his opinion, full of momentum, and the colorful rings on his hands were also a little dazzling.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that he's generous, but it's just highlighting the temperament of an upstart.

However, although the man did not sit in a special seat like him, he was also in the middle of the second row, and his status in East Germany was obviously not low.

His words undoubtedly poked at Ms. Steve's weakness, and the latter's body trembled and her face turned a little pale, she did not expect this person to do things so without leaving any room for it.

In fact, it's hard not to be hit, after all, most of these things are controlled by him behind the scenes, in order to minimize the value of the company.

In fact, he knew in his heart that this mining company was indeed operating very well in the hands of Baron Steve, and if he followed the regular acquisition process, let alone 7 percent of the shares, he would not even be able to eat 5 percent.

What he dug was not a gold mine, and he didn't have much liquidity, so if he wanted to successfully take over this mining company, he naturally had to use some special means.

And this kind of face-to-face pointing out behavior is also to show his attitude to the outside world, that is, this company is bound to be won, and if others want to grab it, it is best to weigh the price they will pay after grabbing it.

At this point, it is only natural that an arbitrator will come forward to conduct a fair second appraisal, because it is a commercial auction, and the appraiser is also a few other capitalists in East Germany who have some knowledge of the situation.

After some discussion, the price given was 3,000 gold pounds, a price at which the purchase of a mining company that had been operating well three months ago was undoubtedly suspected of undercutting the price, and Ms. Steve's face turned even paler when she heard this price.

Because of the unexpected death of her husband and the suspension of the company, she has already taken on a huge debt to the Steve family, even if she sells a few properties, it is still difficult to fill that hole, if it is not to the point of exhaustion, how can she sell her husband's life's work?

However, few of these capitalists present pity her, not because they are cold-blooded, but because these people have long been accustomed to indifference, and in the face of interests, how many of these people sitting below can be absolutely just?

On one side is the isolated widow and her daughter, and on the other side is the mining tycoon of East Germany, and I heard that there is also the secret support of two viscounts behind it.

It's not a question that takes time to make a decision.

"The starting price is 3,000 gold pounds, and each price increase shall not be less than 100 gold pounds!"

The deal was undoubtedly the highlight of tonight's auction, with a starting price of £3,000 worth more than the total price of the previous lots.

But the bidder has already been decided...... At least in his opinion, he was sure of the company, because before the auction he had privately greeted a few old friends, compensated them in other ways, and suppressed the other nobles in the name of Viscount Philip and Viscount Sewit.

Everything is in place, just wait for him to open his mouth and eat this piece of fat completely!

After drinking the wine in the glass, the capitalist raised his hand and was ready to signal to the auctioneer that the price was still 3,000 gold pounds, and he wanted to get the mining company at the lowest price.

"4,000 gold pounds, this mining company, the Talos family wants it!"

The arrogant voice instantly spread throughout the auction hall, and the half-raised capitalists reflexively retracted their hands when they heard the name of the Talos family.

Then he looked at the man in the first row with a cloudy face.

It's not the same as saying yes......
