"Of course."

Chu Ge nodded and agreed to Bonnard's request, but he still understood the reason, so he took out the badge again very simply.

He is actually just pulling the tiger skin of the royal family now, and if he is too greedy to force the big man of the auction house to appear, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be able to ride the tiger.

Although he took advantage of it in advance, Chu Ge did not have any sense of superiority, this guy in front of him was much more difficult than he imagined, if he made a mistake in the negotiation process, I am afraid that the other party would be more aggressive to get it back!

After confirming Chu Ge's identity again, the two of them didn't continue to waste time and went straight to the point.

Chu Ge had no scruples, and directly took out a quarter of the Karakuri puppet fragments and placed them on the table, although there were many important parts in these fragments, but the core of the two dolls was still firmly kept by him.

As for Chu Ge's possession of a treasure of storage space, Bonnard did not show any surprise, but felt that it was a matter of course.

"I got this after I cleaned up some heretics in the Alps a few days ago, and if you know the goods, you should know the value of these things!"

Bonnard picked up a piece of the doll fragment, and although he only looked at it casually, his expression immediately became solemn!

As the senior manager of the auction house, he can definitely be called well-informed, especially in the identification of his own outstanding place, not to mention distinguishing the authenticity of the item, even if it is some rare goods, he can quickly calculate the value!

However, for the fragments he is holding in his hands now, he can't even tell what it is, let alone distinguish the value of authenticity, he can only feel that the structure of this thing is quite complicated!

To describe it in four words, it is not clear.

"Please wait a moment, I need to ask a professional to identify it." Bonnard said apologetically, then got up and walked briskly out of the lounge.

After about ten minutes, the door of the VIP room was finally pushed open again, and this time Bonnard was accompanied by a middle-aged man with a white-washed coat, this man was called Master Jin.

This Master Jin looked very wooden from the outside, and his eyes were only the size of mung beans, but Chu Ge could easily see the impatience in the other party's eyes, and after coming to the box, Master Jin only said this to Bonnard:

"My time is very valuable, and if it is not worth it, I will consider re-signing an agreement with the auction!"

Bonnard looked confident, and he just nodded disappreciatively at Master Jin's threat, and handed over the puppet fragments directly, not knowing whether he was confident in his own judgment or Chu Ge's Thorn Flower Badge.

Seeing that the "rare things" that Bonnard had promised were just such a pile of fragments, the impatience in Master Jin's eyes intensified a little, but his professional ethics were quite good, and when he got the doll fragments, he began to concentrate on looking at them, and after entering the work, he did not mean to slack off.

"Fake! This must be fake! This construction must have been drawn by some bastard in a dream, it was simply whimsical! ”

After a few initial glances, there was a thick doubt in Master Jin's eyes, and then, as if he realized something, the doubt instantly turned into disdain, and even the wooden face disappeared, leaving only an indifferent smile.

Fortunately, the last sense of responsibility in his heart is still in play, and he will not call it a day until the appraisal is completely completed, so he endured his anger and continued to watch.

But as time passed, the indifference on his face gradually turned into prudence, and then into shock, and finally large drops of cold sweat began to appear on his forehead, and the small eyes were so wide that the sockets were broken, and the hands holding the fragments of the doll began to tremble like chaff!

"No, it can't be! Is there really such a construct in the world? Even when I was dreaming, I didn't dare to dream of this kind of operation, can the human brain really study such a thing?!! ”

Hearing Master Jin's muttering, Bonnard not only did not show any joy, but a sense of unease rose in his heart, Master Jin's reaction was not beneficial to his own negotiations at all!

Just as Bonnard was about to say something, Master Jin suddenly raised his head, looked at him with a hideous expression, gritted his teeth and pointed at Chu Ge and said:

"You must keep this guy for me, and let him go! I'm going to find the Cort bastards right now to help with the identification, and I'll be back soon!" After saying that, the master didn't give Bonnard time to react at all, and rushed out in a hurry.

"Alas......" Bonnard shook his head and smiled bitterly, sat down tiredly and sighed.

If it weren't for the fact that he really couldn't see through the origin of this fragment, he wouldn't have asked these experts who only cared about research and development to help identify it.

Although the other party is very good in the field of expertise, it is now at the negotiating table! There is no doubt that the more agitated the other side is, the more it proves that the other party's goods are valuable, and the more passive it will be when negotiations are made.

This time, the door of the box was pushed open for a much shorter time, and after about three minutes, four middle-aged men in the same clothes walked in, one of whom had a white beard and withered hair, and looked like he didn't have a few years to live.

After coming in, Master Jin was not ambiguous, and directly picked up the largest fragment, pointed to the dark green veins to several people, and then began to discuss noisily.

"This must be some kind of puppet joint, but why can't I understand how this hub works?!"

"The red runes must be the result of a perfect fusion with flesh and blood! Oh my God, this particular fusion is still in the theoretical stage! ”

"Look! The remaining fragments actually have a strong self-healing ability, but I didn't feel any energy flowing! ”

"Can't be wrong! You can't go wrong! This thing must be ...... But isn't that thing impossible to catch at all? ”

After a quick eye contact between the four of them, the discussion stopped, and Master Jin asked directly at Chu Ge:

"Where did you get these fragments? Do you know where they came from? You must have other shards! ”

These words can be described as very polite, but it is estimated that even if the four of them know Chu Ge's "identity", their attitudes will not change much. Even the real royal family won't buy it if their bull temper comes up!

Although these four people are now helping the auction house to identify high-grade items, in fact, they are all scientific research talents that His Majesty the Emperor recruited when he was young, in order to avoid being surpassed too much by the Hutton Federation in terms of technology, after ascending the throne, the Emperor personally appointed the four of them to come to the East County to help the city lord develop Midgar.

For example, those magic trains, although the people think that they are the products of goblins, in fact, the goblins of the Federation only provide some of the key ideas, and more basic technologies and core construction are slowly completed by the four of them.

If it weren't for the fact that this auction was too grand, and the city lord's repeated invitations, they wouldn't have left what they were doing to do this.

(For Alkaya, the nature of these four people is relative to Barka's armament, and of course the scale and strength are not at the same level at all.) ）

In view of the particularity of the identities and work of the four of them, they have had an in-depth understanding of many things about the Hutton Federation and even the Barka Research Institute, and this is also the reason why they will ask Chu Ge those questions.

Chu Ge did not express his dissatisfaction with Master Jin's bad attitude, but just knocked on the table and said:

"Looks like you've seen that, yes, this is Balka's Karakuri puppet fragment! This is what I got after taking out a couple of Balka's puppeteers! ”

Although this answer was exactly the same as the guess in the hearts of himself and others, one of the experts still couldn't help but speak:

"How is this possible! The Karakuri figure we tried to capture last year, but its self-destruct setting can't be stopped even in the Hyper Stage, how could you possibly do it! ”

Chu Ge smiled slightly, and said, "It's not your turn to worry about it, what is the value of these goods, give me an accurate head!" ”

"Of course it is......" Master Jin was about to speak, but Bonnal immediately stood up and interrupted the other party's words, if he was allowed to continue, this transaction would be a loss!

"Ahem."

Bonnard coughed, wiped the fine sweat from his face with a calm expression, and then turned to the four masters, and while glaring at the four of them, he said nonchalantly:

"Master Jin, although these things look very high-level, they are all just fragments, and they are just a bunch of rags, so they shouldn't be worth much."

Bonnard actually has a spectrum in mind about the importance of this batch of goods, but in order to keep the price down and obtain the maximum benefit, the posture should still be put on a posture.

But what he never expected was that as soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the four experts suddenly changed, as if they had been greatly insulted, and immediately refuted unceremoniously:

"You dare to say that these things are rags? Are you doubting our professional competence?! "Despair from teammates*1.

"Not worth anything? I don't think even if I sell you, I won't be able to exchange it for the smallest piece inside! "Despair from teammates*2.

"Humph! So what I hate most is these merchants who only have gold in their eyes, and their greed must be responsible for the weakening of the empire! "Despair from teammates*3.

"Hey Akin, where did this ignorant fool come from? Don't let the guards kick him out yet! "Despair from teammates*4.

Bonnard: "...... MMP”

What is called a pig teammate, this is called a pig teammate.

The smile on Bonnard's face froze completely, and it took four or five seconds for him to recover from the onslaught of his teammates.

Even though he can speak skillfully, in front of the words of his teammates, he doesn't even have the strength to be furious, and now he can only hold his forehead with his hands, lie on the sofa and sigh to the sky.

The reason for this situation is actually because Bonnard does not know the knowledge of Karakuri dolls, and does not know the status of Karakuri dolls in the minds of these masters, so he can't predict the consequences that will be caused after he just said the word "tattered".

For example, if someone tells you that I found a living silicon-based creature and want to show it to you, you might just say wow, and then nod unconsciously, at most post a circle of friends or something.

But in the eyes of biologists and chemists, it may represent the Nobel Prize/the praise of the whole world/the great men of human history/whose names are written in textbooks/Countless money/Plump Nunako...... Etcetera.

In the impression of ordinary people, the value of puppet technology may be similar to that of the magic train, and the reason why the empire does not promote it is because it feels that it is not very useful, but for experts, it is their lifeblood!

"No! You can't just give up! Bonnard, who had been lying down as a salted fish, suddenly burst out of his miserly spirit, and pulled the four experts out without saying anything with red eyes, while Chu Ge could hear the quarrel outside through the box.

"Gurgling, purring......" Bonnard argued!

The experts looked dissatisfied, but listened anyway.

"Purr, Purr......" Bonal continued to argue!

The experts looked puzzled, as if they realized the problem.

"Gurgling! Jabber! "Bonnard gave it his all!

The experts looked embarrassed, already realizing that they had just done something stupid.

Poor Bonnard had broken his heart for the sake of the auction house, but he had now finally sent the oil bottles away.

When the door of the box was pushed open again, only Bonnard came in alone, but Chu Ge noticed that the other party did not close the door, and it was obvious that the four experts were still waiting outside the door uneasily.

"How? How's the talk? Chu Ge asked with a smile, unable to tell the depth from his face at all.

Although Bonnard's expression was very haggard, he knew that now was the time for the real decisive battle, so he didn't dare to relax at all, and reluctantly kept a smile and replied:

"Sir's goods are indeed rare and high-quality, but considering the professionalism, our auction house intends to digest this batch of goods by itself and buy it directly from you, and will not participate in this auction!"

Chu Ge agreed with this proposal, after all, even if it was auctioned, there were probably very few people who knew the goods, even if the auctioneer gave a detailed explanation, it is estimated that few people would have a demand for this kind of thing, unless the price was low to a certain point, and someone might try it with the intention of picking up the leaks.

"So, how many gold coins does the Sylvia auction house plan to pay for this shipment?" Chu Ge asked.

Bonnard smiled perfectly and sincerely, and replied:

"Eight thousand! We are willing to pay a huge sum of 8,000 gold coins to buy it! After finishing speaking, he picked up the steaming black tea on the table, took a shallow sip, and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform.

Eight thousand gold coins, which is about the price of two top-of-the-line silver pieces of equipment.

However, after Chu Ge heard this price, he shook his head resolutely and slowly, and then looked at Bonnard with inexplicable eyes, as if he was examining the other party's sincerity.

It wasn't until he looked a little uncomfortable with Bonnard that he lightly spit out two words:

"Fifty thousand!"
