Chapter 53: The Frosty Relic with Wings (3)
As the red cloth was pulled apart little by little, exclamations rang out from the audience one by one.
On the stage is a unicorn statue made of crystal. The light of various colors shines in every part of it, both in proportion and in the materials used, which requires a great deal of craftsmanship.
"As you can see at first glance, it's a sculpture, a perfect work of art. But I'm sure it will surprise everyone next. ”
As soon as the words fell, the crystal unicorn sculpture actually moved, and in the brilliant light, it gradually spread its wings and began to fly in a small area on the auction table.
"Yes, it's not just a sculpture, it's a flying mount. And it was the famous Elven King of the Western Moon who built it, Filasr. I believe that in the entire continent of Middle-earth, only the Elven King of Filas could create something so beautiful and functional. ”
When Butos heard Filasr's name, he was not only a little shocked in his heart, he didn't think that such a noble and cold elf king would have such a hobby, you must know that Butos had seen Filasr. Although Filas was friendly to Butos, he was by no means enthusiastic towards the others.
The price of this crystal unicorn starts at 350,000 gold coins.
Butos turned to look at Ashley.
Ashley's gaze still didn't take her eyes off the beautiful unicorn: "It's definitely worth the price, if not more." ”
This time, however, there were not as many bidders as there had been the previous one. After all, ordinary buyers will not bid for such flashy things, and only some aristocratic families will bid for such a delicate thing because of hobbies or some other reason.
Eventually, the crystal unicorn was bought by a marquis for 560,000 gold coins.
Later auctions didn't attract the attention of Butos and Ashley so much. There were four or five things in a row that were weapons or equipment, and occasionally one or two were rare, but they were nowhere near as good as the crystal unicorn that Filasr had created.
Butos and Ashley waited for a long, long time, they couldn't use the money for anything else, after all, no one dared to guarantee that one and a half million gold coins would be able to take down the frost relic.
"Okay, so it's time for the last part of the auction, and it's also the most exciting part - 'blind selection'. I'm sure you're looking forward to something, but we can't reveal much about it for the sake of the rules. Then the starting price of this 'blind selection' treasure is 880,000 gold coins, and now the bidding begins!"
"880,000 gold coins!" "This is much more expensive than the previous one!" "I don't know what it is, who will buy it!"
And at this moment, in another high-class room, someone made a bid, and the price he gave was "nine hundred thousand gold coins".
Suddenly, another sigh sounded.
Ashley glanced at Butos: "That...... Mr. Butos, I'm going to start bidding?"
Butos nodded, then gave him an encouraging look.
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand gold coins! There are already people bidding nine hundred and fifty thousand gold coins in the VIP room on the other side!"
"One million gold coins! The competition between the two sides is fierce!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!"
"One million and one million!"
Exclamations kept ringing out from the audience.
Butos' palms were sweating, and he was a little suspicious that it was Lilwei who was bidding in the other room.
At this moment, Ashley suddenly bid 1.4 million gold coins.
Butos couldn't help but ask, "Why are you bidding so much at once?"
Ashley rolled her eyes and said, "Scare that guy, make him think that we have more gold, and we are bound to get it." ”
Butos frowned.
Maybe...... Will it succeed? Butos was not sure.
"One million and four hundred thousand once!"
"One million and four hundred thousand twice!"
"Congratulations to the buyers in VIP Room 14 for acquiring our blind selection treasure, the Charles' Cloak!"
Suddenly, applause and shouts rang out from the audience.
And Butos and Ashley directly shouted together: "Charr's Cloak!"
"Didn't you say that the scope of this blind audition was gems, why would there be a cloak!" Butos was surprised.
"The Charr Cloak is a magical cloak made by elves, and whoever wears it will not be discovered by anyone or magic. A clear voice came from the door of the room.
Butos and Ashley looked for voices.
When Ashley saw this person's appearance clearly, Ashley couldn't help but feel a little headache: "Hello, Prince Sinrog. ”
This richly dressed and elegant man was none other than the fourth prince of the kingdom of Digro, Sinrog.
"I didn't expect to meet the esteemed Miss Ashley here. What an honor. Sinrog bowed slightly to Ashley.
Butos whispered, "Who is this?"
"This is the one who gave me one and a half million gold coins. Ashley replied in a whisper.
"Hmm...... I am also deeply honoured, Your Highness the Prince. Ashley also had to return the salute: "Why did His Royal Highness the Prince come here?"
"You can just call me Sinrog," Sinrog said friendly, "This time the blind selection range is magical items, so I'm interested." But I didn't expect that there would be people who like to collect these interesting pieces of equipment as much as I do, and who are willing to pay so much money. ”
Ashley said with some embarrassment, "I thought the scope was a gem this time, and wasn't it also a gem written on the notice outside?"
"Gems?" Sinrog couldn't help but laugh, "That's the range in two hours, it's for the next auction." ”
When Ashley and Butos heard this, they couldn't help but slap their foreheads fiercely.
By this time, the charr's cloak had been delivered to Ashley's room.
An attendant came over with a delicate plate: "Dear Miss Ashley, how are you going to pay for this one million and four thousand gold coins?"
Ashley was about to take the ring out, but she hesitated. After all, the one and a half million gold coins in the ring were given to her by Sinroger.
"Miss Ashley?" the squire asked again.
In the end, Ashley had to take out the ring, put it on the plate in the attendant's hand, and whispered, "There are 1.5 million gold coins in it." ”
When Sinrog saw the ring, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Charles' cloak was placed in Ashley's arms.
Butos and Ashley both had embarrassment written on their faces.
"To you, Butos the Adventurer. Ashley pouted and threw Charles' cloak into Butos' hands.
Sinrog smiled, and as he walked out of the room, he said to Ashley, "The Charlesmantle is a good thing, although Miss Ashley wants to get a magical gem. ”
The squire returned the storage ring and said to Ashley, "There are still 100,000 gold coins in it, honorable Miss Ashley. ”
The attendant left the room after speaking.
Once again, only Ashley and Butos were left in the VIP room of Notau.
"What should we do now? Mr. Butos. Ashley asked, somewhat frustrated.
"Or else...... We will consult with Prince Sinrog," said Butos, "and he seems to like this cloak very much, and we will give it to him and ask him to give us one hundred and forty thousand gold coins." ”
"My God, dear Mr. Butos. What are you thinking?" Ashley laughed a little: "The 1.5 million gold coins were originally given to me by Prince Sinrog. It stands to reason that I should have given him the ring back, but I didn't, and I spent the money. Now you want me to sell him the cloak? How is that possible?"
Butos held his cloak and pondered: "Put it on, you can be invisible, right? or ...... I'm going to steal the Frost Relic?"
