Chapter Ninety-Seven: Broken Hides

The urgent voice of the emperor suddenly came from his heart, causing the emperor's originally closed eyes to suddenly open, staring at the object that appeared next on the auction table.

"Hehe, thank you again for coming, but the next auction item is a little peculiar, because even we don't know what it is.

But after much appraisal at our auction, it was agreed that this should be an extremely old treasure map. ”

After the middle-aged auctioneer finished speaking, he carefully lifted the brocade cloth on the silver plate, and suddenly, a tattered animal skin appeared in everyone's sight.

"Cut!" Looking at the tattered hide, there was a burst of laughter in the auction hall after a moment of silence.

At this time, in a VIP room in the auction venue, there were also several figures, standing in front of the turtle crystal wall, looking at the field.

"Master He, is this the item you asked us to auction at the 'Ten Thousand Medicine Shop'?" One of the young men dressed in white also looked at the broken animal skins that appeared on the auction table with some surprise, and asked the gray-clothed old man beside him.

"Hehe, that's good!" said the gray-clothed old man on the side.

"Master, I remember that you have always regarded it as a treasure, why are you willing to sell it?" At this time, a crisp girl's voice sounded beside the old man.

"Alas, the old man has studied that thing for half his life, but he has never been able to study it clearly, it is better to let it find a destined person, it is better than falling into the hands of the old man and making the pearl dusty. The old man in gray shook his head and sighed.

"Hmph!" As soon as the old man's voice fell, the girl's somewhat indignant soft hum sounded in his ears, first stunned, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and was about to speak, but he sighed lightly, and looked at a place in the field.

......

Hearing the boos in the audience, the smile on the middle-aged auctioneer's face was also a little sneering, in fact, he was not optimistic about this broken animal skin, but who let this be the auction item personally guaranteed by Master He, he shook his head helplessly, and then picked up the broken animal skin carefully, and smiled in front of everyone.

"If it is true, it is very likely that this hide is a fragment of a picture that must be hiding a great secret, though I don't know what that secret is. Hey, hey, there are always times when you need to gamble, in case you have the opportunity to get other broken animal skins in the future, and maybe you can put together a complete treasure map!"

Such far-fetched rhetoric provoked ridicule from all over the world.

"It's really foolish!"

"It's so good, why don't you keep it for yourself..."

"I'll call this guy a big fool in the future!"

.....

Of course, not everyone is like this! At least at this time, Emperor Qiyao's eyes became more and more hot when he looked at the broken animal skin.

Staring at the broken animal skin with a little excitement in his eyes, Emperor Qiyao calmed down a little and said slowly.

"Teacher, are you sure that tattered animal skin is really a treasure map?"

"Stinky boy, the old man has deceived you, find a way to take a picture of it. ”

There was a laugh and scolding in his heart again, and the thoughts that were still a little doubtful completely dissipated, Di Qiyao looked at the animal skin on the stage, and his eyes became hotter and hotter.

At this time, on the auction table, the middle-aged auctioneer spat on the introduction of how mysterious this ancient broken animal skin is, and tried his best to say that the value of this animal skin is higher, so as to attract the attention of everyone in the field, but it failed to have any effect, but under his repeated introduction, there has been some restlessness in the field.

You must know that all the people present are characters with some identities, and time is very precious, how can you have time to listen to this middle-aged man flickering around at this moment, and there is a faint momentum of leaving the venue.

Look, the middle-aged auctioneer had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, and then said with a wry smile: "Don't talk nonsense, according to the value assessment, the starting price of this broken animal skin is 100,000 gold coins, now, let's start the auction." ”

As the middle-aged auctioneer's voice fell, the huge auction hall was suddenly quiet, and those who had already gotten up and were about to leave also sat down again, and their eyes were cast on the middle-aged man on the stage as if they were looking at idiots, thinking.

"I'll just see if no one bids for a while, are you embarrassed on the stage?"

The eyes under the black cloak and hat were staring at the broken animal skin, if it weren't for the shadow of the coat, I am afraid that anyone present would be able to see something from his fiery eyes, taking a deep breath, Emperor Qiyao slowly suppressed the excitement in his heart.

Reason told him that now was by no means the best time to make a bid, and that a rash move might arouse the suspicion of everyone, and at that time, some people would get in the way if he didn't get it! More importantly, he didn't have many gold coins left now, and it was better to say that within 200,000 gold coins, if he was targeted and deliberately raised the price, like the last time the medicine pavilion auction was like Mu Wu's madness, it would be tragic.

Looking at the countless mocking glances projected from the field, the middle-aged auctioneer couldn't help but shake his head helplessly again, thinking in his heart, if it wasn't for Master He's special explanation, his name couldn't be mentioned in the auction, otherwise, even if this animal skin was really a tattered thing, there would be countless people rushing to bid for it, you know, what a great honor it would be for them to be able to befriend an alchemist.

After nearly ten minutes of silence in the auction room, the middle-aged auctioneer finally sighed, and just as he was about to announce the abortion of the auction, a slightly muffled voice suddenly sounded from the field.

"One hundred thousand!"

A faint voice sounded, and suddenly, countless eyes followed the sound and forgot about it, only to see a man in a black cloak sitting there, because the hat was pulled too low, he couldn't see his appearance, but listening to this voice, he was not very old.

At this time, the quiet auction hall also slowly sounded.

"Someone really bought this, this guy can't be a fool, right?"

"Hehe, it's interesting, I don't add a penny, the starting price is 100,000, and the asking price is also 100,000!"

.......

For all kinds of discussions around him, Di Qiyao turned a deaf ear, only in the shadow of his coat and hat, there was a trace of worry in his blazing eyes, and the young man's heart kept chattering, "Hurry up and drop the hammer, hurry up and drop the hammer..."

Hearing that someone finally called for the price on the auction table, the middle-aged auctioneer was also relieved, he was also both respectful and awe-inspiring for that Master He, for fear that he would not be able to successfully auction this thing, which would displease the other party, and now he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at the place where Emperor Qiyao was: "This adult bid 100,000 yuan, does anyone still want to increase the price?"

Listening to the words of the middle-aged, countless people rolled their eyes at the moment, are you so many idiots in the world?

The auctioneer seemed to know that this was a vain question, and after laughing, he wanted to smash the auction hammer in his hand.

"Wait!"

The crisp and familiar voice suddenly sounded, making the hammer in the auctioneer's hand stiffen, and the puzzled eyes followed the sound, which was the No. 1 VIP room of Tianzi in the auction venue.

At this moment, in the VIP room, the gray-clothed old man who had been staring at the black cloaked man in the field suddenly heard the girl's voice coming from the side, and looked at the girl with some astonishment, and on the other side, the girl's brother also looked at the girl in surprise.

Ignoring the gazes of the two, the girl snorted softly.

"Hmph, I still remember one time when I was a child, I accidentally spilled tea on that thing, and I was reprimanded by the teacher for a long time, and now you don't want it, so you sell it to others?

"Huh!"

The old man and the young man glanced at each other, and they both smiled bitterly.

Immediately, under the gaze of everyone, from the VIP room, the girl's crisp and slightly indignant voice came out again, "Two hundred thousand!"

Under the black cloak, looking at the wooden mallet that was about to fall, the originally excited eyes suddenly flashed with a ferocity, the fists in the sleeve robe were clenched tightly, the black robe trembled slightly, Emperor Qiyao's eyes looked through the brim of his hat, staring at the VIP room on the second floor, and the faint star power was actually a little unsuppressed by the black cloak, and slowly boiled.

"Boy, calm down!"

Just when the power of the stars in his body couldn't help but erupt, the light shouts of the emperor were like spring thunder, which woke Emperor Qiyao from that anger.
