Chapter 298: The Old Man and the Good Quick Knife
"Captain?"
Everyone didn't understand the situation too much, but when they saw his back gradually moving away, they hurriedly followed and stepped into the door of the auction hall.
It was a sizable auction house, and as soon as you stepped through the door, you were greeted by a cacophony of boiling noise, and thousands of seats were packed in a circle, and most of them were already occupied.
On the second floor, there are more than a dozen boxes with windows facing the middle, and it is obvious that those who can have this treatment are not ordinary.
"Welcome to the Gil Yin Auction House, gentlemen and ladies who are interested in participating in this auction, please go to the entrance of the corridor on the right to pick up your number plate."
Behind the door were two slender girls with sweet smiles on their faces and impeccable movements, apparently trained to be rigorous.
After hearing the reminder from their mouths, Xia Nuo nodded slightly, did not continue to stay in the door, turned right directly along the corridor, and after receiving a number plate marked "328", he went straight to find an empty seat and sat down.
This area is relatively empty, and the crew behind them were also able to sit down, and Kidd sat next to Xia Nuo's right hand side with his buttocks, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hey, hey, Xiano, who are the acquaintances you are talking about?" Is it in here now? Do we recognize each other? ”
"It's not big, it's not small, it's called the captain."
Xia Nuo rolled his eyes, and a brain melon popped up, and the painful Kidd covered his head and screamed, while the former didn't bother to bother with this monkey boy's question, his eyes turned slightly, and after searching the auction hall for a while, he finally landed on a seat in the third row on the opposite table.
"Sure enough...... Xia Nuo's mood was a little complicated for a while, and after being silent for a while, he whispered to himself, "It's really him." ”
Hearing this, the crew of the Wind Pirates became more and more curious, and subconsciously followed Xia Nuo's gaze.
It was a middle-aged swordsman with a somewhat thin body, frosty white sideburns, wrinkled forehead, and an estimated appearance of being in his early fifties, but his face was resolute, his posture was straight, and he obviously had some strength, which made people dare not underestimate him.
Seeing this unfamiliar face, everyone basically fell into a state of confusion - who is this? I don't have an impression at all.,It doesn't look like a celebrity.,Could it be that it's just an acquaintance who the captain knows?
But Biki, who was sitting in the back row, was an exception, the uncle who was over fifty years old, the moment he saw the thin swordsman in Xia Nuo's gaze, the whole person froze there in disbelief, and after reacting, his eyes suddenly showed an irrepressible ecstasy color.
"It's Kellal!"
He jumped up from his seat excitedly, grabbed Xiano's shoulders violently, and screamed incoherently as he shook it vigorously, "He's alive!" He's still alive! He didn't die in the sea! ”
The crew members next to them were stunned, they had never seen the elder Biki show such a look, but Xia no seemed to have expected this, just smiled slightly, and comforted softly:
"Calm down, uncle, didn't you see him escape at the beginning, since he wasn't caught by Ah Long later, it's reasonable that he can survive, right?"
"That's right......"
Becky came to his senses a little and let go of his hands that were gripping Xia Nuo's shoulders, but his mood was obviously still in extreme excitement, and he was still a little overwhelmed when he spoke, "But it's been a year, a year, I haven't seen each other for more than a year, and there is no news in between, I didn't expect to meet him in such a place......"
"No, I'm going to meet this old bastard right now!"
He couldn't help himself with excitement, and he actually got up directly, ready to go around the seats in the opposite stand to meet Kairal, but at this time, the central spotlight suddenly lit up, and the entire auction hall was instantly silent, and a goatee man in a burgundy suit appeared on the platform in the middle, bowed deeply to the guests of the entire stand, and then loudly announced the start of the auction.
At this time, it was obviously not suitable for much movement, Biki had no choice but to return to his seat, and in the face of the curious eyes of the rest of the crew, Xia Nuo sighed and explained softly:
"That's the captain of the Tado Pirates, Kairal, who was my very good friend at the time, and the only crew member who survived the Tado Pirates after they were robbed and killed by Doflamingo, except for Uncle Beekey......"
“……”
The crew all understood at this time, and the atmosphere was a little depressed for a while, everyone looked at Biqi with red eyes, and understood the uncle's feelings at this time, and hurriedly said a word to me, and opened his mouth to comfort him.
This warm atmosphere quickly played a role, and Biki finally barely restrained the emotions in his heart, and Xia Nuo also put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Uncle Bikie, as soon as the auction is over, we will talk to him about the past, before that, aren't you curious at all, why did he come to the auction?" ”
Well?
Becky was stunned, and then felt strange, Xia no took them into the auction hall because he saw Kairal, what about Kairal, why did he come here?
This kind of auction, generally things are ridiculously expensive, the transaction price is much higher than the market price, even if Kailar escapes smoothly, he should be the same as himself, there is no extra money, how can there be that spare money to participate in the auction?
Could it be that in this auction, what he desperately needs and is determined to get?
Just as they were wondering, the auction officially began, and with the goatee's very inflammatory opening remarks, Xia Nuo and the others temporarily pressed down their doubts and shifted their attention to the auction itself.
The first thing that was taken out was a bottle of pale red liquid, according to the goatee man, this is a mysterious new medicine from the New World, which has the effect of prolonging life and curing all diseases, especially suitable for the elderly group, with a starting price of 3 million Bailey.
Hearing this, Xia Nuo almost sprayed rice, thinking that he had come to the scene of a health care product promotion meeting in his previous life, and his interest in this auction instantly dropped a lot, if it weren't for the fact that he wanted to find out what Kailar wanted to buy, he would even want to leave the venue a little.
The people present reacted similarly to him, no matter how the goatee man preached, he failed to arouse many people's desire to buy from beginning to end, and in the end, he just hastily increased the price twice, and was won by a rich man who seemed to have a lot of money at a price of 3.2 million.
The goatee man also clearly felt this, and his face was slightly embarrassed, but he quickly covered it up, coughed lightly, and clapped his hands to signal his subordinates to bring out the second auction item.
This piece has some meaning of saving the scene, it is actually a long sword with exquisite shape, whether it is the sheath or the blade, the workmanship is quite eye-catching, called "flowing water" by the goatee, it is a good sword at the level of a good knife, and the starting price is 50 million Bailey.
This is obviously a large amount, and the price has directly increased more than ten times compared to the previous auction item, but when it appeared, at least half of the people in the auction hall became interested and joined the bidding.
And although Xia Nuo didn't have any ideas about this level of sword, he couldn't stand the fact that several of the cadres in the ship were swordsmen, so after discussing with each other, they decided to join the auction as well, and get this sword in their hands first.
