Chapter 153: The Man in the Two Corners

"Oh! It's Mr. Guro, it's been a long time. "Shay is quite impressed with this hobbit.

"Hello Miss Chailly, are you here?" Gu Luo asked tentatively.

Xia Yi had already prepared an invitation for herself, she didn't want people to find out that she and Count Carreno were tired, so she raised the invitation in her hand and said, "I'm here to participate in the auction." ”

Gu Luo took a look, and found that it was exactly the same as the invitation in his hand, and he was instantly decided, he finally had an acquaintance on the same road, but he was very strange, it was rumored that this auction was at least attended by nobles above the title of viscount, the last time he saw Xia Yi, he didn't think she was a nobleman, but she was followed by the Marquis of Blue Rose, this matter, Gu Luo later bragged about it for a long time.

"Then let's go in together." Gu Luo's main purpose is to strengthen his own courage.

Xia Yi didn't notice Gu Luo's abnormality, and the two went to the door of the auction hall together, this is a square, there have been many carriages parked, and Xia Yi doesn't know the various family crests, but Gu Luo was shocked for a while when he saw a carriage.

Outside the auction hall, there is a team of knights in the war, in this regard, the Count of Carreno has done a meticulous job, they are all knights with superb martial arts and good looks, in this mixed place, everyone's safety must be guaranteed, because any person who has an accident in the auction hall is enough for Count Carreno to lose his family.

There is also a team of royal knights patrolling, and in terms of their heroic temperament and sophisticated equipment, they are indeed a grade higher than the knights of Count Carreno.

The two handed over their invitations, which was Gu Luo's most nervous moment, because he was afraid that he would be found out, and then pulled out of Liuli Street to perform a fluke.

"Welcome, you are the last two guests, the auction is about to begin."

Unexpectedly. The guards didn't pull Gu Luo out, which made Gu Luo wipe the sweat from his head like a dream, and followed Xia Yi into the venue tremblingly, he had never seen such a magnificent place, it was a bead on a fancy chandelier hanging from the ceiling. It's enough for him to struggle for a lifetime.

Xia Yi and Gu Luo are located next to each other, and their invitations have location numbers on them, just the last two in the last row of the most Lu Lu, Xia Yi doesn't want to be too conspicuous, she just needs to supervise the auction.

Sitting in his seat, Gu Luo seemed to be pricked in the ass by a needle, he didn't know all the nobles, but he knew the coat of arms of all the families, the Blue Rose family. The Snape family, the Cassadine family...... One by one, he was breathing stagnant and his brain was dizzy, and the people in the back row were all people with at least noble titles, and there was a viscount who smiled at Gu Luo with a friendly smile, and Gu Luo returned the salute sluggishly.

"Miss Chailly, you say, is it possible. Their invitation was sent by mistake...... "Gu Luo secretly said to Xia Yi, "Is there another Gu Luo in Wang Du?" They filled in the wrong address......"

Chailly was speechless. It turned out that this guy didn't figure out the situation from beginning to end, and he came in a daze, and Xia Yi deliberately teased him.

"yes, how can a little person like us participate in this auction? They must have mistaken someone. "I've heard that there are some barons who haven't been invited. In order to get an invitation, they are willing to pay a high price! ”

"Really?"

Gu Luo shrunk his neck, glad he didn't find his head, but it seemed that he had fooled him. No one was looking for trouble, which made him a little excited, at least he participated in an amazing auction.

Gu Luo glanced around curiously, the auction hall was divided into two floors, and the ordinary nobles sat below, and the real giants of the royal capital had specific boxes upstairs, especially the royal family's location in the center, and the view environment was the best, and there was no need to sit with noisy people.

At this time, a man walked up to the auction table, it was the Count of Carreno, who had been carefully dressed, his hair had been waxed with an unknown amount of wax, his beard and eyebrows trimmed, and a bow tie on his chest.

"First of all, let us welcome our elegant and noble queen on behalf of His Majesty the King in the most respectful and warm way!"

Carreno has not been away from home, so he naturally knows how to speak. There were a few figures in the queen's box, but because of the beaded curtain, it was not clear from Xia Yi's position, and a graceful voice sounded: "Count Carreno is polite, you can start, I hope your auction will not disappoint us." ”

Just listening to the queen's voice, Xia Yi could almost conclude that she was a beauty, and Gu Luo on the side was so excited that he tugged at his clothes, he couldn't believe that he was so close to the queen!

"Of course, Your Majesty, thank you again for your appreciation, and please forgive me for my previous rudeness." Count Carreno didn't talk nonsense, "Now, let's start today's auction, first of all, please ask for the first lot. ”

Two beautiful ladies took the lead, carrying a big guy covered with a red cloth, they were dressed very formally, and the two hostesses slowly lifted the red cloth, a strange shape, but beautiful enough to make the brightest night pearl in the world appear in front of everyone's eyes.

Count Carreno couldn't help but tremble at his temples, but he didn't dare to show it, he knew that the bandit was watching him in secret.

"I'm sure you've seen red coral, purple coral...... But you must not have seen this, Jade Coral! Count Carreno said aloud, "This jade coral is one meter three meters high, it comes from the deep sea, and only at the bottom of the sea without a ray of sunlight can such quality coral be produced!" ”

The bottom immediately talked about it, they had never seen this variety of coral, just looking at the warm color, they knew that the Tao was extraordinary, because of the existence of the sea people, it was difficult for human beings to get precious things from the bottom of the sea, the most valuable coral in the royal capital was a purple coral placed in the king's bedroom, which was only one meter high, and the quality was much inferior.

"If you think that this is the most valuable jade coral, then you are wrong, it contains the majestic water element, and more importantly, it is also mixed with the extended life element, placed in the room, it can definitely prolong life."

The queen in the box opened the bead curtain and looked at the jade coral carefully, obviously, she was interested, there were a lot of water element items in her room, which could delay aging, but ordinary water element items obviously could not be compared with this jade coral.

"It's a good thing, just this jade coral, it's not in vain for Carreno to make a fool of himself." The queen said softly.

All three princesses were in the box with the queen, including the fourth princess from the Snape family, who responded, "He would be very happy if he bought it and gave it to His Majesty." ”

Every king is a fearful of death, and this has nothing to do with flaws, even the most enlightened king is greedy for life and afraid of death.

The queen knew that Princess Snape was showing her loyalty, and whether she heard it or His Majesty the King heard it, she would only praise her, but the queen never asked about it.

After the introduction of Count Carreno, he picked up a small mallet and said loudly: "The reserve price is 200,000 gold coins!" Each increase must not be less than 10,000! ”

The reserve price made the nobles present gasp, especially the small nobles such as the viscount and baron, 200,000 can make them bankrupt, and they suddenly found that they were purely here to join in the fun, because often the cheapest auction item is the first one! One can imagine how valuable things will come next!

The people in the two corners, Xia Yi and Gu Luo, were talking quietly, Gu Luo was looking for some solace from another unlucky ghost, and when he heard the reserve price of 200,000 gold coins, he bit his tongue.

"Oh my God, don't these nobles play with gold coins?" Gu Luo thought indignantly that he found that if he didn't adjust his mentality, he would definitely breed hatred of the rich.

Xia Yi is very happy, the higher she sells, the more she earns, only she can see the bitterness behind Carreno's smile, but now, what can he do, he can only try to recover the loss, you must know that this should be his wealth!

"Two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins."

A suave voice came from the box upstairs, it was the Marquis of Blue Rose, although he was a marquis, he was the richest man in mankind, so there was a place for him in the box.

If it is placed in normal times, according to the rules, if the people of the royal family do not speak, no one will bid, because the nobles participating in the auction will privately inquire about the auction items that the royal family members fancies, and often the royal family members are the first to bid, of course, it is also the last bid, because no one dares to grab from them.

It's not that the Marquis of Blue Rose is impulsive, the key is that this situation is a bit unexpected, the invitation is not accompanied by the auction roster, so someone can only start, otherwise the queen can't look down on Jade Coral and has not made an offer, and this kind of auction will not be able to continue.

From Xia Yi's point of view, she happened to see the Marquis of Blue Rose, he was opening the curtain and smiling at everyone gentlemen, she thought evilly, I am afraid that from now on, the king will have to rewrite the pattern, in short, the richest man in mankind cannot be the Blue Rose family.

"Two hundred and eighty thousand!"

The other Duke of the box immediately followed the bidding, and from the very beginning, the competition was only on the second floor! And the first layer, especially those nobles in the front row, originally confidently wanted to auction one or two items, and they all began to accept this thought, so they should watch the show, but such a grand auction is not in vain for them to come.

Especially some small nobles who survive in the cracks, they can know from an auction which big nobles are close to each other and which are beginning to ossify, and they know how to see the wind and steer and who to rely on to whom to take refuge, which is the rule of the aristocratic circle.

"Two hundred and eighty thousand! The Duke of Cassadine bid 280,000! "Count Carreno is not like other auctioneers who keep shouting, only repeating.

"Five hundred thousand."

The voice of Queen Asuti came from the box, a gentle voice, but it made everyone stop.

In the dark corner, Gu Luo was dizzy, and he seemed to see mountains of gold thrown around...... (To be continued......)
