In the afternoon, a light rain began to fall in the sky.

The sound of ticking sounds in this world, accompanied by fresh air, which makes people involuntarily indulge in it.

Inside the Winchon Manor, cars drove in from the outside and parked next to the mansion in the center.

The two brothers of the Winchern family are now busy entertaining guests.

They hired people, set up the environment, and took out all the antiques that the family had once collected, and held a small private auction on the estate.

Most of the visitors here are wealthy collectors, and although they have disdain for the things around them, they are still polite on the surface.

When Shi Yong and his party came here, the auction had already started for a while.

After showing the electronic invitation to the security personnel outside the door, they led them to the hall of the room, and found a row of seats at the end to sit gently, all of them watching the auction that was going on in front of them with great interest.

"Ladies and gentlemen, look at this lot."

On the stage, a white man in a suit lifted the display in front of him, revealing what was inside—a wooden clock.

The white man was none other than the auctioneer hired by the Winchern family to preside over the auction, Damir Karloff, who was well-known throughout Oxfordshire.

"I'm sure everyone who came here for the auction must have seen this thing, yes, it's the famous Black Forest cuckoo clock!"

Damir said as he moved to the back of the lot, giving up the space better.

Of course, this cuckoo clock is not a cheap thing that can be bought casually outside, it is a real cuckoo clock from the Black Forest region of Germany produced in the park on June 16, 1742! The materials are all sourced from the local Black Forest, and the wood carving is exquisite, from the internal machinery to the external carpentry, all by hand......"

"I can assure you that no real cuckoo in this world is the same, and each of them is a unique work of art!"

After hearing his words, the guests in the audience all began to talk to each other, but from the few words they heard, it can be seen that most of them do not seem to be very optimistic about it.

Behind the crowd, in the Canglan Expedition Group, a mixed-race girl shook her head and said: "Red mouth and white teeth, there is no evidence, there are so many imitations of the cuckoo clock now, who knows whether his one is real or fake." ”

Several friends around also nodded subconsciously.

On the stage, the auctioneer, Damir, reacted as if he had expected it, and he put a charming smile on his face, then took out a small box from under the booth and opened it, revealing several sheets of paper inside.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know you may have questions about the origin of the cuckoo clock, but don't worry, the Winchon family, as a powerful old family, naturally has very high requirements for collections. In the box in my hand is a series of certifications about this clock, all from our auction house, Master Hoan. ”

"In addition, we also provide you with the only Vds certification certificate of the Black Forest Cuckoo Clock, with the support of the above documents, you can bid with confidence, and you definitely don't have to worry about buying counterfeit products!"

"I am announcing that the starting price for the Black Forest Cuckoo Clock is £30,000."

As his words fell, the audience immediately remembered a burst of discussion. Then, after a short exchange of words, someone was the first to raise the sign in his hand.

"This gentleman on the 17th, bid £30,000!"

The auctioneer immediately shouted.

Another person held up the sign and made a gesture of 4 at the same time.

Damir's eyes lit up, and he immediately said in a loud voice:

"This lady on the 18th, bid £40,000!"

……

The item was sold for £80,000 after a lot of bidding, and the buyer was an old man with gray hair, and it was clear from his eyes that he loved the clock.

The auction was held smoothly, with Damir, a professional auctioneer, and the atmosphere was always maintained at a good level.

However, the people of the Canglan Expedition Group were a little disappointed, because they did not find anything similar to a shield among the many auction items.

"Congratulations, this gentleman on the 7th has acquired this precious 'Phoenician Rubbing' of King Mishaki of Moab! Congratulations everyone! ”

The audience burst into applause.

"So now, what we want to exhibit and auction is the equipment used by the ancestors of the Winchern family, a shield representing the glory of knights! So far, there are only two of these shields kept by the Winchern family, the last one was bought for 20,000 pounds on the international trading network, and now it can be auctioned, and I am afraid that this last one is the only one left in the world! I hope you can take advantage of this opportunity! ”

As soon as he said this, everyone in the Canglan Expedition Group in the audience was instantly attracted to attention, and they immediately sat up straight one by one, and looked towards the shield on the display case.

"It's it! That's it! Same as the last time we saw it on the trading network! Sure enough, Winchern still has this kind of shield in his house! Someone excitedly said.

"Haha, do you see? See? I already knew! We're here and we're sure to find out! ”

"Come on, come on, how much money do you have? Let's make it up, and this time we want to take this thing down!! ”

On the other side, behind the makeshift auction table, there was also a shocked look, it was the brother of the Wincheen family, Dane Wincheen.

"This, what's going on? Sam, how can you put it up for auction too!? ”

Dane looked at his brother beside him in disbelief.

Sam, glancing at his lips, said, "Don't make a fuss, okay?" Didn't we sell that shield last time? Since they've all been sold, what's the matter with one more? ”

When Dane heard this, he was furious.

"This is our family's last shield! It's a symbol of our family's former glory, and if you sell it too, the Winchern family won't even have the last memory of it! ”

As he spoke, he pushed his brother away, then hurried to the stage, took the shield out of the display case, and walked away.

Everyone was a little stunned when they saw this scene, and it was the first time that the auctioneer Damir had encountered such a situation. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and after coming back to his senses, he made remedies as soon as possible.

"Guys, I'm sorry for the accident, it seems that this shield is not on the list of lots this time, let's take a look at the next item......"
