Chapter Seventy-Three: When the Auction Takes Place
"Master Ferdinand's work, although it is damaged, is very collectible, which gentleman wants to buy it?"
Viscount Quinn stood on the stage, looked around at the crowd, and shouted loudly.
As his voice fell, the entire auction hall fell into dead silence.
Obviously, everyone else was not very interested in this "collectible wood", and no one was bidding on it at all.
"Isn't anyone going to buy a work by Master Ferdinand?"
Viscount Quinn's brows furrowed, and he asked again.
But his inquiry only provoked a stir of talk, and there was no offer.
"No one is bidding?"
Seeing this scene, Su Lu's eyes couldn't help but flash a glimmer of light.
If no one bids, he will be able to buy this epic magic scepter for seven hundred gold coins.
Although it is damaged, Sulu has a way to bring it back to life.
"Hoo ......"
Sulu took a deep breath and reached out to press the button next to his seat.
In an instant, a bright red number appeared on the crystal ball on the auction table.
"The lady in room 10 wants to auction the work of Master Ferdinand for seven hundred gold coins, does anyone want to increase the price? 700 gold coins at a time...... Seven hundred gold coins twice ......"
Viscount Quinn looked at the numbers on the crystal ball and shouted excitedly.
This room 10 is, of course, the room where Sulu is.
It's just that because it was the room of the Rose Chamber of Commerce, Viscount Quinn subconsciously thought it was Evie. Haynes wanted to photograph the staff.
“…………”
Sulu couldn't help but get nervous as he listened to the voice on the auction table.
As long as no one makes an offer in the future, the magic scepter will be his.
Just as Viscount Quinn was about to shout out the ownership of the magic scepter, a number suddenly appeared on the crystal ball: 5.
"The gentleman in room 5 bids 800 gold coins!"
Viscount Quinn glanced at the blood-red number and said in a deep voice.
Room 5...... Who, exactly?
Sulu was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked at the room opposite.
Due to the nature of the magic glass, the scene inside the room could not be seen at all, only a gray illusory mist.
"Mr. Sulu, do you need the help of our Rose Chamber of Commerce?"
Evie. Haines looked at Sulu with a smile in his eyes and whispered, "If you don't have enough money, I can advance some money to you." ”
"Thank you......"
Sulu answered, and without hesitation, pressed the yellow button beside him.
For this magic scepter, he was bound to get it.
Because he still lacks a piece of equipment to handy, this Ferdinand's magic scepter is the best choice.
"Room 10 out of 900 gold coins......"
"Room 5 out of 1900 no gold coins!"
However, as soon as Su Lu shouted out this price, the owner of room 5 shouted a new price again, directly doubling the price.
“……”
Sulu frowned, and his gaze looked back at the room.
How do you feel that room 5 is deliberately inflated......
Perhaps it was because of his doubts, Evie. Haynes whispered, "The owner of that room is Earl McLaren. ”
“……”
Hearing this, the doubt in Sulu's eyes dissipated somewhat.
Perhaps, it was the other party who saw the value of the magic scepter.
"2000 Gold Coins......
Sulu groaned and bid on Master Ferdinand's work again.
While the cost may add up a lot, it's totally worth it.
Because the power of that magic scepter is absolutely unimaginably huge, and it can even be comparable to some demigod-level weapons.
After the price of 2,000 gold coins was announced, Earl McLaren did not retreat, but chose to continue to fight.
"Room 10 for 2,000 gold coins......"
"Three thousand gold coins from room 5 ......"
Viscount Quinn's fat face was occupied by shock, and he slurred his words about the ever-changing prices.
Not only him, but even the others in the auction hall were shocked.
Is it worth paying so many gold coins just for a "piece of wood" with good collectible value?
Some of them even suspect that this "wood" is not simple.
But the high price discouraged them from getting involved, as the price of thousands of gold coins was prohibitive.
In a few moments, Master Ferdinand's magic scepter reached a high price of 5,000 gold coins.
"Mr. Sulu, if you like the work of Master Ferdinand, perhaps...... I was able to find other works for you. ”
Evie. Haines looked at Sulu worriedly and said softly.
At the moment, she also felt that it was not cost-effective to buy the staff.
You know, even a weapon made by some master blacksmith can't be sold so expensive, not to mention that now it's just a broken "wood".
Could it be that this young lord is so persistent?
“…………”
Suddenly, a hint of hesitation appeared in Sulu's eyes.
Indeed, the price is a bit high.
But do you really want to give up?
No......
"Sorry...... All I want is this magic scepter. ”
Sulu shook his head and pressed the red button beside him.
"The lady in room 10 offered a price of 6,000 gold coins! Is there anyone else bidding...... 6000 gold coins for the first ...... Second...... Third ......"
Viscount Quinn looked around excitedly and shouted, "This work of Master Ferdinand belongs to the young lady in room 10. ”
"Hoo ......"
Hearing this, Sulu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the price is somewhat unexpected, it is still within the acceptable range.
The most important thing is that you have already obtained that magic scepter......
It wasn't long before there was a knock outside the room.
"Please come in ......"
Accompanied by Evie. Haynes' voice rang out, the door to the room opened, and two waitresses slowly entered, still holding a simple wooden staff.
"Hello, Miss Haynes, this is the item you bought, is it time to settle the bill?"
The waitress with the staff stepped forward and asked softly.
"Hmmm......"
Evie. Haynes replied lightly, and then asked her entourage to follow her to complete the checkout.
The two waitresses lowered their magic scepters and left the room respectfully.
"I guessed ...... right."
Sulu carefully held the "wood" and examined it carefully.
The simple and unremarkable body of the cane, the chaotic natural patterns, the only thing that makes people feel is the black crack on the head of the cane, which vaguely reveals a sense of mystery.
The crack was like lightning, spreading from the position of the head of the cane, about a dozen centimeters in length.
Absolutely......
Because this crack is caused by the destructive power of hell.
"Thank you, Miss Evie."
Sulu looked up and looked at Evie beside her. Haynes, sincerely.
