However, doubts are doubts, but Grand Duke Vidi still did not forget his duty, and first praised the painting, saying that there is nothing in heaven and no earth. Then, according to Monterey's explanation, this auction was linked to the friendship between the Jindu Kingdom and the Octopus, so as not to be distracted by the Octopus.

Finally, this sunset on the sea, created by Hyrdnos, was officially auctioned by Grand Duke Vidi at a reserve price of 1 million gold coins.

However, unlike other auction items, as soon as the bidding was announced, the competition was in full swing, but this time the whole venue was silent, so quiet that it seemed that a needle could be heard, and it was actually cold!

One million gold coins is indeed not a lot of money for these people who participated in the auction. Even the weakest people in it probably wouldn't take a million gold coins seriously. However, no one wants to do that stupid thing when they spend a million gold coins on a painting.

People who come here to participate in the auction are all here to buy something that is really useful to them. As long as it is really useful to them, no matter how high the price is, they will fight with all their might, but that painting really doesn't see any use for them. Although the painting has such and such meanings, those meanings are given to it by others, and for the people who participate in the auction, those meanings are meaningless. Who would spend a million gold coins to buy something that means nothing to themselves?

And Lin Li, who was sitting in the box, saw the auction painting, but his face showed a wisp of understanding. Jindu Kingdom's approach is actually very obvious, if Lin Li can't see it anymore, it will be in vain to be the president for so long. He didn't immediately raise his sign to ask for the price, not because he didn't want the painting, but because he didn't want others to know that he wanted it.

Although Lin Li is not bad for money, it is naturally best to be able to spend the least amount of money and get what he wants. He knew very well that if he showed that he was bound to win, some of those who participated in the auction would definitely jump out to find himself awkward. At the very least, Griner of the Giant Shark Clan definitely didn't mind pushing the price up a little to avenge the robbery of the Dark Gold Demon Dragon Armor before.

Archduke Vidi complained to Bradlow, but he had to say the merits of the painting over and over again. Although unsuccessful auctions are a very common thing for an auction, in an auction like this, if there is a failed auction, it will definitely have an impact on the auction.

However, a painting is a painting, and it cannot be compared with something of the grade of a mirage. Grand Duke Vidi racked his brains to describe the painting as a peerless treasure from the perspective of a work of art, and it could not change the essence of it as a work of art.

It seems that this time it is really going to be unsold! Grand Duke Vidi thought helplessly. And this unsuccessful auction will undoubtedly become a flaw in this auction, and even become a joke in people's mouths.

Faced with such a situation, in the box of the Kingdom of Jindu, Bradlow and Monterey looked at each other. Didn't that Ferré take a fancy to this painting? Why is it that now that the painting is put up for auction, he refuses to sell. Is it that my side will be wrong, or that the other party thinks that the price of one million gold coins is too high?

However, after several inquiries by Grand Duke Vidi, when he was about to announce the unsuccessful auction, a voice came from the box on the Octopus side.

"Two million gold coins!"

In any case, that painting was given to the Kingdom of Jindu by the Octopus, and it was also the work of Heldennos, the legend of the Octopus, and if it was really sold at this auction, the Octopus would also feel disgraced. Therefore, seeing that no one was bidding for the auction, he had to quote a price of two million himself.

Hearing the offer of the Octopus, Grand Duke Weidi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although there was no such enthusiastic bidding, it was good to be able to avoid the auction.

"Three million gold coins!" Lin Li finally made a move. Three million gold coins to buy a painting is a bit inconceivable to others, but what Lin Li is interested in is not the so-called art, but the knowledge of the inscription contained in the painting. If it was not in the form of a painting, but in the form of a note, the note of the inscription master Heldenos, I am afraid that 30 million gold coins would not be able to hold it.

Griner of the Giant Shark Clan was originally feeling a little bored, and even wanted to see how the Octopus would react after the painting was sold. Unexpectedly, first the Octopus wanted to buy their own things back, and then Fei Lei of the Tower of Dusk actually followed.

At this moment, Griner suddenly became interested, not to mention other hatreds, the dark gold demon dragon armor was snatched away before, but it also made him hold his stomach.

Since the other party wants that painting, how can you not cause some trouble to the other party? Although I don't need that painting, and I don't know what the painting is for, but raising the price high can be regarded as making the other party suffer a lot. Thinking of this, Griner raised his hand to raise his card.

However, Cantoli, who was next to him, stopped Griner and said, "Wait a minute, Young Master Griner, don't you think this is a little strange?" ”

"Strange? What's so strange about this! Griner turned his head to look at Cantoli, and said with a smug face: "If he wants that painting, I will make him spend ten times more money, otherwise how can he get out of his heart." ”

Cantoli shook his head with a smile, looked at the box opposite, and said lightly: "Don't you think that Young Master Griner thinks that it is really so strange that such a painting with little value appears at such an auction. If there is nothing wrong with it, I'm afraid no one will believe it. ”

"What, you mean, he's just trying to lure me in?" Griner is not a fool either, and after being reminded by Cantoli, he immediately thought of such a possibility, and thought of more.

If that Ferre in the Tower of Twilight had struck first, he wouldn't have minded finding him something awkward, but after Cantori's reminder, no matter how you look at it now, I feel that there is a smell of yīn conspiracy in it! Griner tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and he couldn't help but have this thought in his heart.

In particular, the relationship between these two people who have made a move now is not very good with themselves. Then you can't help but wonder if the other party thought that he would make trouble for them, so he set up such a game for himself.

It's no wonder that Griner thinks so, it's too much of this kind of thing at auction. An originally useless thing is often raised to a sky-high price because of some disputes of will, so that someone accidentally falls into the pit. Of course, this kind of thing also involves psychological warfare, and if you plan to be higher, you may be able to go back to the pit.

However, Griner was not good at these, so he looked at Cantoli and asked, "So, do you want to give up like that?" ”

"Give up? No, we can test the other party a little less first, see how the other party reacts, and then make a decision, maybe we can let them reap the consequences. "Kantoli and Lin Li have a lot of enmity, and naturally they don't want to miss such an opportunity, so they gave Griner such an idea.

"Three and a half million gold coins!" Griner hesitated for a moment, then decided to give it a little try.

As soon as Griner's voice fell, Lin Li's side raised the price again: "Four and a half million gold coins!" ”

Another million gold coins were added directly, as if to pull Griner into this rhythm. As soon as people increase the price, it will be a million, but here it is 500,000 yuan, how could Egriner's arrogance do such a shameful thing. In this way, the price of one million and one million will be raised, or in a few rounds, the price will break through the 10 million mark. Ten million gold coins is not much, especially for people like them, but sometimes these ten million gold coins can play a very key role.

Griner was about to directly increase the price of another million gold coins, but just as the sign in his hand was about to be raised, it fell down again. Although he is impulsive, he is not a fool, since he has long thought that the other party is setting up a trap for himself, how can he not be defenseless at all. Therefore, he couldn't help but look at Cantoli again and wanted to ask Cantoli's opinion.

Instead of speaking, Cantoli raised his hand and held out two hands in a gesture.

Griner understood at a glance, so he raised his sign and shouted: "Six and a half million gold coins!" ”

Cantori asked Griner to increase the price by two million gold coins, just to give Lin Li a false impression that the other party had fallen into the trap. However, it was just a painting, and there was not much room for cāo, so after Griner made an offer, he said, "It's okay, if the other party increases the price, we don't have to shoot again." ”

For Cantoli's idea, Griner did not object, anyway, he was not cheated by the other party, but cheated the other party for seven or eight million gold coins, which can be regarded as a slight breath of evil.

Sure enough, just as Cantoli and Griner thought, after quoting the price of six and a half million gold coins from his side, he also raised the number plate again to the Ferre in the breadbox. However, this time, the other party did not add two million gold coins to himself, but only added one million gold coins as before, and quoted a price of seven and a half million gold coins.

And so it was! Let go of Griner. Contoli clapped his hands. The rhythm of one million gold coins is completely different from the rhythm of two million gold coins, and there are very subtle psychological reactions involved here. And now, he can be sure that the other party just wants to use this painting to trick Griner, so there is no need to do anything more.

In terms of playing this kind of trickery, Griner is still more convinced of Cantoli, or it can be said that in the eyes of the Sea Clan, the Terrans are very cunning and deceitful. Therefore, Griner did not have any objection to Cantoli's judgment, and sat back in his seat, threw the number plate in his hand on the table, and said with a smile: "Haha, happy, happy, look at that Ferre this time, how can he pretend to be in front of me, now he is afraid that he can't cry." ”

Cantoli had calculated many times, but not once. And this time, it was undoubtedly quite monumental for Contoli, and if he didn't want to continue to participate in the auction, he would have wanted to go out and find a place to have a drink.

The Grand Duke of Vidi below, after three consecutive biddings, finally fell with the wooden hammer in his hand, confirmed the success and validity of the deal, and announced: "Three times without bidding, the ultimate owner of this sea sunset of Hyrdnos is President Ferrey from the Tower of Dusk!" ”

All of a sudden, the eyes of the people at the venue were focused on the box where Lin Li. They couldn't figure out how anyone would be willing to spend more than seven million gold coins to buy a painting. Maybe at this moment, Lin Li's hearts are already equated with madmen and fools.

However, when I got the paintings, I didn't bother to pay attention to them. Just kidding, this painting is a note left by an inscription master who is not inferior to himself, not to mention more than seven million gold coins, even if it is seventy million gold coins, it is worth it. For Lin Li, this can definitely be said to have picked up a treasure, so what's not to be satisfied with.

Just then, there was another knock on the box door, and Prince Monterey himself brought the painting. After completing the transaction, Prince Monterey did not leave immediately, but asked tentatively, "President Ferrey, this painting belongs to you now." But I'm curious, if you mind, if you don't know if you can tell me what is so special about this painting that appeals to you so much. ”

It has already spread outside, saying that the reason why Lin Li bought this painting is because he didn't calculate it well, but was cheated by the other party. However, Prince Monterey knew that Lin Li had long been interested in this painting, so naturally he would not believe the rumors.

Lin Li didn't hide it, and after putting the painting away, he said to Prince Monterey: "Speaking of which, I have to thank Prince Monterey." In fact, this painting is really of little use to ordinary people. However, in the exhibition hall before, I saw some knowledge in the field of inscriptions from this painting. The painting is like the inscription notes of the same Geldenos, on which all his fields and experiences in the field of inscriptions are recorded. It's just that these things are not visible to ordinary people. ”

Lin Li was telling the truth, but Prince Monterey didn't believe it much. It's just a painting, how can it be an inscription note, if it's really so godly, how can there be a great power in the field of inscriptions in the Octopus, how can they not see it, but instead give the painting as a diplomatic gift.

However, Lin Li said so much, and Prince Monterey didn't want to ask anything, so he had to shake his head and say dryly: "Then congratulations to President Ferret, the auction is not over yet, so I won't bother." ”

Although Prince Monterey did not deliberately spread it, Lin Li's explanation quickly spread in the venue. However, in everyone's opinion, Lin Li's explanation is simply made up by a dead duck with a hard mouth for that bit of face.
