Most of the people looked at them with a hint of puzzlement, Lady Ollie's name was quite famous in the southern aristocratic circles, so everyone knew something about this rich widow. For such a person who did not know any martial arts in his own right, and did not have any descendants in his family who practiced martial arts, it was a very strange thing to bid for such a scroll.

If it were a normal time, I am afraid that the people who have a good relationship with Mrs. Ollie will ask a few questions, but it is impossible to do so during the auction. Because the Earl of Lyle himself set the rules, every auction must be decided quickly, and if you want to grab this treasure from everyone, the only thing you can do is keep shouting prices.

So everyone only hesitated for a moment, and the next bidding was endless:

“300！”

“350！”

“420！”

……

In the blink of an eye, the price of this scroll skyrocketed, and Duran was simply dumbfounded, as a poor ghost, he had less than ten purple dragon coins on his body, most of which were scavenged from the purple-clothed priest Delong. The wealth of these dragon nobles opened Duran's eyes, and at the same time, he secretly thought about this truth in his heart: war is all about manpower and wealth, and although the black-clothed people can be self-sufficient, but in general, wealth is too different from that of dragons.

"It seems that I have to find a way to make money in the future." Du Lan smiled bitterly in his heart, and in just one minute, the energy pool expansion scroll, which was not worth more than 500 purple dragon coins, was shouted at a sky-high price of 650 coins.

This price was already outrageously high, although it was only a drop in the bucket for Mrs. Ollie's own wealth, but it was already a very terrifying figure for the others, and most of them showed a look of frustration and gave up the competition.

So in the end, only three people were left fighting for the scroll. In addition to Mrs. Ollie, who was held hostage by Duran, the other two people were the president of Noras, the largest armed chamber of commerce in Grand Pudding City, and it was well known that the Noras Chamber of Commerce had a monopoly on the iron and salt business from Grand Pudding City to the White Delta and most of the north, and it was rumored that these profit-seeking merchants were also secretly doing business with the Naga entrenched in the Inland Sea and the pirates outside the Thousand Stone Islands. And the owner of the Noras Chamber of Commerce, Pete. Mr. Noras's eldest son was a well-known and gifted swordsman who had risen to the Golden Realm at a young age, and this scroll was clearly a great gift for Mr. Noras's eldest son.

The other bidder is a northern nobleman who came here to play, and it is said that he is also very large, and it is not difficult to see from his sword that this is also a powerful golden swordsman.

"I'll give you 700 Purple Dragon Coins, and to be honest, this price is far beyond the value of this scroll itself." The representative of the Noras Chamber of Commerce calmly said: "If this price is exceeded, I will abandon the offer ......"

It's just that before his words fell, a crisp voice said categorically: "800 purple dragon coins!" ”

The crowd was in an uproar.

The representative of the Noras Chamber of Commerce turned pale, and he squinted thoughtfully at the lady who had been raising the price, and finally did not say a word.

Instead, the Northland nobleman seemed to be interested in Lady Ollie, and he smiled lazily, "900."

Ollie's face did not change, and he just wanted to continue bidding, but who knew that the northern nobleman suddenly said: "I will pay 900 purple dragon coins, buy this scroll, and give it to that young lady." ”

Mrs. Ollie was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, and everyone showed a look of surprise, and the auctioneer saw that Olimer was silent, so he simply finalized the auction price.

Faced with such a result, Duran was a little silent.

Fortunately, after he was seen through the disguise by Ollie, he changed his face and became a stranger, and no one knew him, only that he was Mrs. Ollie's new male favorite, and no one would pay attention to him.

Bidding for the next auction item soon began again, and it was a rare piece of Hundred Refinement Armor, but Duran had no interest in it at all because he had the Time Armor.

In the process of bidding, the waiter delivered the scroll to Mrs. Ollie, and in the process, Duran's vigilance was raised to the extreme, and he would not mind taking her surname if the woman did anything uninteresting. Fortunately, she finally spared her life, took the scroll without saying a word, and waited until everyone's attention was attracted to the new exhibit, and handed it into Duran's hands......

Duran accepted the scroll satisfied, only to find that there was a note pressed under the box containing the scroll.

Duran looked at the note and couldn't help but smile dumbly: "It seems that your charm is really not small, madam." ”

Ollie saw that Duran no longer looked fierce, and the heart that was about to jump out of his throat finally calmed down a little. She smiled charmingly, "Thank you for the compliment, is there anything else you want?" ”

Duran nodded and said, "Wait a minute, I think it's going to appear soon." ”

A look of unease flashed across Lady Ollie's face.

……

And in the corridor on the second floor, in the corner that Duran didn't pay attention to, a girl frowned.

The veil had blinded most of her face, but her eyes were as bright as the moon at the moment, full of doubt and surprise.

If someone got close enough, I'm afraid they would hear her muttering:

"How could it be him?"

"Duran?"

Jane clasped her hands tightly in front of her chest, staring at the unfamiliar face beside Lady Ollie, a strange rune faintly appearing in the depths of her eyes.

All disguise was removed, and only Duran's grim face remained.

"What is he here for?" Jane bit her lip, her heart full of doubts.

She took a step back, looked back and couldn't help but say, "Lord Count, I have something to tell you. ”

Who knew that at this time, a close attendant beside Count Lyle suddenly approached, and whispered a few words in the earl's ear, and Count Lyle's face immediately changed greatly.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, if there is anything, please talk about it later." Count Lyle smiled reluctantly, and with a "I am out of company," he turned and walked briskly downstairs.

Jane was stunned for a moment, since she had come to Grand Pudding City, she had never seen Count Lyle look so out of shape.

"If Her Royal Highness the Princess has any matter, you might as well tell me." On the other side of the corridor, a personable young man walked over. He smiled kindly at Jane, "Father seems to have something to deal with, I'm really sorry." ”

"Is that so?" Jane turned away, her eyes fixed on Duran's body, as if trying to see through him. "Well, it's not a big deal, forget it."

Jules smiled thoughtfully, and stood side by side with Jane, his gaze cast downward.

……

At this moment, Duran did not realize that his disguise tonight had been detected by the second woman, and most of his attention was focused on the auctioneer. As time passed, the quality and standard of the auction items continued to improve, and under the deliberate control of experienced auctioneers, the pace became more and more hot.

"Almost." Duran said silently in his heart.

"The next exhibit will be a rarity. Again, rare treasures. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Crown of the Deep Sea, the treasure of the legendary King of the Wrathful Sea, you don't need to say anything more about it, you all know its value."

"Starting price, 900 purple dragon coins."

With the auctioneer's firm words, the blue gauze that was hidden on the treasure was lifted.

There was a sudden inhalation in the hall, and everyone's eyes were instantly attracted by the dark blue crown.

A dazzling blue glow emanates from the inside of the crown, and this treasure is rigorously crafted from pure gold. And the top of the crown is inlaid with thirteen priceless sapphires, each of which symbolizes a sea tribe. The bare part of the crown is delicately delineated with deep sea cloud patterns, and its beauty is truly stunning!

"2,000 Purple Dragon Coins......" At Duran's behest, Mrs. Ollie did not hesitate to call out the offer first.

But before everyone could come to their senses, a sharp whistling suddenly came from the ceiling of the roof, and in an instant, several terrifying black shadows suddenly fell down, and the hall immediately fell into chaos! (To be continued.) )
