40th Auction (13) (3rd Update, Keep Asking for Subscriptions!) )
"The Lancaster family is also willing to help you with this......"
After hearing the Duke say the same, Leo nodded gratefully, he understood that it was Elena's relationship that was at play, otherwise how could the Lancastrian family do such a thing as migrating people or selling slaves, not to mention that the profits were not much, and it would also have a certain impact on prestige
"Believe me, I will not forget the friendship between the two, I promise that when I return to Stormwind, the special spices, food, and furs from the Highlanders will be given priority to the two family territories, and the caravans to the central part of the country will also be selected for supply and transit......"
Glancing at each other, the Duke of Lancaster and Auston nodded with satisfaction, Leo is a very smart person, and friendship with smart people can last for a long time, the Duke took the lead in raising the wine glass, and the three of them smiled and drank the wine in the glass at the same time
Wiping the corners of his mouth, the Duke spoke, "Since Leo you mentioned the caravan, then the connection between us can be closer, the Lancaster family owns the largest iron mine in the empire, but it has been supplying ore to the central and southern parts of the country before, and now I think the family's strategy needs to be changed a little!" ”
"In addition, Auston has abundant timber resources, and the quality is far better than that of the pines and cypresses in the northern territory, and I think you will need these ...... too."
"Of course there is no problem, the family will use the best price to meet any of Leo's requirements in this regard, maybe you and Elena are in the cold northern territory and need a pure warm wooden villa to play and rest? Haha"
Auston's words made Elena's face flush, and her eyes were fixed on her toes without any rebuttal, and such a clear acquiescence made Leo's heart ecstatic
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Thank you two for your kindness, these are the things I urgently need, well, after the auction, my butler will send an equally delicate weapon to the Duke's Palace, and I guarantee that the value of the weapon will not be lower than the one in the auction below."
In a few words, an alliance of interests and politics reached an agreement in this box, and there was no need for even written documents to confirm it, and the few people present were smart people, and on the premise that both sides could benefit, no one would be stupid enough to tear these up unilaterally
After a few more words of laughter, everyone turned their attention back to the auction site, at this time, the Rose Thorn Sword had been shouted 910,000 gold coins under the competition between the church and Brown, and it was surprising that the highest bid was still the unfamiliar Brown in the eyes of many people......
After receiving an affirmative answer and authorization, Brown officially began to compete, but his method was very ingenious, no matter how much the church increased the price, he only increased the current price by 10,000, which was not bold but sufficient, and gave the other party a feeling of being played, constantly wearing down the patience of the competitors
Sure enough, after 2 rounds, the cardinal in the church box no longer had a smile on his face, but instead a serious face, and he did not make a decision in the face of this price, because he had a hunch that even if he shouted the terrible number of 1 million, the other party would still add 10,000 lightly
However, the head of the Templar Order next to him, Aeolis, did not have such patience, he had been praising and fighting in the name of the gods for a long time, and he preferred to go straight to the point, looking at the silent cardinal, he stood up a little impatiently, and subconsciously pressed the hilt of the sword with his right hand
"My lord, do you need me to ask someone to check the details of the people below? I'm very unfamiliar with him, I shouldn't be a nobleman or a member of the Chamber of Commerce in the imperial capital, and then I can send someone to wait for them on their way back to the territory, and then ......"
The palm of his hand made a throat-slitting motion, and Aioris's expression did not change at all, as if he was not talking about a few lives, but about a bland topic of what to eat for breakfast
Surprisingly, the cardinal seemed to be accustomed to his suggestion, and when he heard this, he just shook his hand gently to signal the other party to be calm, closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa for a while, and finally shook his head
"Not this time, Lord Eoris, I have a gut feeling that the other party is not as simple as we seem, forget it, if things go wrong, it will be a big blow to the reputation of the church, in this critical time......"
Standing up, his brow furrowed slightly, the cardinal walked over to Aeoris and patted him on the shoulder
"Killing doesn't solve all problems, giving up properly can sometimes avoid a lot of trouble, what you said to my dear friend, can't let these get in the way of our real goal, let people tell the auction house, let's give up!"
Aioris shrugged his shoulders casually, and said indifferently, "Well, I listen to your lordship, your majesty has told me more than once before I came, and I must follow your instructions, although I don't think these people pose any threat!" ”
"Maybe...... But now that the Church and His Majesty the Pope need time, let's avoid all the troubles as much as possible......" The cardinal muttered softly as he watched the head of the Order walk towards the door
**********************
When the news of the church's abandonment reached the auction hall below, it caused a lot of discussion, of course, this did not change anything, and Rebecca still had to announce the final result
"Well, let me see, who finally got this legendary Rose Thorn Sword...... Well, another unnamed buyer, I still can't announce his name for the sake of the rules, congratulations, a gentleman from a certain southern territory, you will have this legend alone, it is really very enviable! ”
The transaction price of 910,000 gold coins is enough to amaze everyone, and if it wasn't for Leo's forcible insertion on the manor before, this amount should be the highest price in today's auction so far......
Rebecca was a little reluctant to put the bayonet back in the box, it will be temporarily put back in the back by the servant for safekeeping, and then delivered after the end, paused, this time Rebecca did not go back to the backstage to change clothes, just stood in front of the auction table
The hours-long auction made her a little tired, and the weight of the armor used for the decoration on her body became heavier and heavier at this time, and after brewing for a while, Rebecca said in a voice that was already slightly hoarse
"Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that the excitement of the Rose Sword will take away your fatigue for a while, because here I will bring you the last item of today's auction! I'm also sorry that this is the only time I can't introduce it, because it's so mysterious that we can't even get our hands on it, so we can't judge his price......"
Glancing at the somewhat puzzled crowd below, Rebecca cleared her throat
"But I can guarantee that the item itself is definitely a rare and rare treasure, but since there is no way to set a price, there will be no reserve price and no minimum price increase in this auction! Now, let's see for ourselves the secret treasure that is said to come from the Crester Swan family, a mysterious and beautiful gem, of course I prefer to call it - [Tears of God]
As soon as Rebecca's words fell, a beautiful maid walked out from behind with a tray in her hand, and on the thick red velvet on the tray cushion, a bowl-sized gem with a blue body and a translucent mysterious halo flowing inside appeared in front of everyone with a strange attraction......
However, this time, no one exclaimed, but after a short period of calm, a discussion began
"The Crestster Swan family? What is that? ”
"Uh, I might have thought of it, I remember that there was a weak baronial family in the Northern Territory that seemed to have this surname?"
"Baron? What are you kidding, when did the Imperial Capital Auction House degenerate to such a point! ”
"Honey, this gem looks pretty good, do you like it?"
"No, I don't know why, there is a faint feeling of fear under its beautiful appearance, and I don't even dare to stare at it continuously"
“…… Is it a woman's unique intuition......"
And the few great nobles who knew the history of the Crest family did not say a word at this time
They stared at the alluring gem on the stage with greedy eyes, and they knew the glorious history of the Swan family, and they wanted to solve the mystery more than anyone else, so as to gain great power......
Leo in the box was also very excited at this time, and even subconsciously let go of Elena's little hand without noticing, took a few steps forward and grabbed the fence of the terrace with both hands, staring at the gem he was extremely familiar with, and shouted in his heart, "What a damn god's tear, this is the dragon's tear, a dragon's tear gem from Pande with incomparable magical power......"
At the same time, the system was silent for a long time, and the system suddenly reminded in his mind
"Found a dragon's tear gem that still has some remaining power, and after matching, it was confirmed that this dragon's tear should be the executor of the previous generation......"
