Chapter 107: The Auction Begins
For three days, Rollin sometimes accompanied his parents to talk and comfort them, and sometimes stood in front of his brother's hospital room silently watching him and praying for him.
Mahler, Karina, Gebaz, and Victoria also rushed over after doing their own thing, and there was no surprise that Victoria and Gbazz both won the championship in their respective grades, which also made everyone happy for a while.
What Rollin didn't expect was that Simeone then came to the church of Chuen, saying that he had heard his father, Master Cervantes, talk about it, so he came to take a look, and of course, he was also very much looking forward to the auction that was going to be held tonight.
In the afternoon, Dr. Tihuack told Rollin that the surgery was almost ready, and that tomorrow Rollin would be able to proceed with the operation after he had paid the fee.
After everyone waited anxiously, it was finally evening, and the Gergils were going to go with them to see the auction, but they were persuaded by Rollin, who was worried that if he couldn't sell a million gold coins or some other situation, his parents would be extremely disappointed, so after discussing for a while, Victoria and Karina decided to stay with his parents again.
The others, including Simone, came to the Cervantes alchemy shop, and as they approached it, they couldn't help but be attracted by the luxurious carriages and horses parked at the door, and the ornate decorations on them, which were either gold or silver, showed the luxury of their owners.
"There are not many lots this time, mainly Rollin's space ring, so there is no large-scale notice, if there are many lots, the number of people who come is several times more than now. Simeone said.
Everyone couldn't help but be impressed, the Cervantes alchemy shop was really extraordinary.
Rollin and the others followed Simone through the side door into the alchemy shop, and then went up to a pre-arranged cubicle on the second floor, where they would watch the auction unfold.
The cubicle is simple and beautifully decorated, and the curtain hanging at the doorway is made of a special material that allows those inside to see the outside very clearly, while the outside people do not see the inside at all.
Through the door curtain, Luo Lin was surprised to find that some of the counters placed before the first floor had long disappeared, replaced by rows of gorgeous chairs, there were hundreds, and most of the chairs had owners at this moment, and they were either fat and big-eared rich businessmen and tycoons, or pot-bellied eunuchs.
"My father invited basically all the rich people this time, and the least of them were millions of people, so it was easy to raise the price when these people were competing with each other. Simeone pointed to the people below who were participating in the auction.
Rollin nodded, it seems that Cervantes has really put a lot of effort into the auction of Rollin's spatial ring.
"You see, the cubicles on the second floor that are the same as ours here, they are all places that can only be entered by people with extremely noble status, such as His Majesty the Pope of the Holy See of Light, Nicholas the Great of the Europa Empire, the President of the Alchemy Guild, and some princes and nobles, like Mahler's father, who is the Imperial Minister of Finance, naturally also has a compartment, of course, those big people are busy with affairs and basically have no time to come here, but their juniors, disciples, etc. often enter it for auctions. Simeone said.
"Wow, then we're not treated like a prince and nobleman now, and sit in the second-floor cubicle!" Gebaz quipped to Bill.
Simeone smiled and said, "This compartment belongs to our Cervantes alchemy shop, if there is any auction in the future, I can naturally come in, but the other compartments, except for the one where Mahler can do belong to his father, we are not qualified to enter." ”
When Simeone said this, the others couldn't help but look at Mahler with envy, "Hey, boss, you really have a good father!"
Mahler couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said angrily: "We are not in the era of fighting for our father, why are you looking at me so enviously." ”
While a few people were talking and laughing, the auction downstairs began, and I saw a very capable little waiter with a melon skin hat coming up to the stage, he first said a few polite words, and then began to auction.
"Simeone, these lots should have been refined by your father himself, right?" Luo Lin couldn't help but ask, seeing that most of the auctioned items were some utensils and alchemy items.
"There are indeed a few of them that my father personally refined, but most of them come from the Alchemy Guild and some purchased on weekdays, my father now spends most of his time studying advanced alchemy, by the way, the space ring you want to auction, my father can comprehend a lot of things on it." Simeone said.
Under the busy work of the auctioneer, dozens of lots were quickly auctioned off, and those wealthy merchants made a lot of money, and in a few words they took one lot after another into their own pockets.
During this period, there was silence in the compartment on the second floor, and no one said anything to photograph the items, and under Simeone's disclosure, Rollin and others knew that there were several waves of people in these compartments, and now no one spoke, which shows that they don't like these lots at all.
Since there were not many lots today, after more than half an hour, there were no regular lots left, and the auctioneer bowed and got off the stage, and while everyone was puzzled, an old man with a gray beard walked up to the stage.
"Master Cervantes!"
"Unexpectedly, the master actually came to the auction in person this time!"
"It seems that this time it is the lot that is going to be auctioned at the bottom of the box!"
......
Downstairs, there were amazing voices, and they were also very much looking forward to the last lot.
Cervantes coughed lightly twice, and the audience fell silent, only to hear his loud voice: "The following lot is the space ring I notified you before, and I want to tell you that this space ring was not refined by me!"
"......" There was a commotion in the audience, and Cervantes pressed his hands weakly, and the noise gradually subsided.
I only heard him continue: "This space ring was handed over to our store by a guest for auction, I have tested it before, and its internal space is ten cubic sizes, which is a huge space that even I can't refine!"
As soon as these words came out, not only everyone in the audience, but even the curtain of the compartment on the second floor was full of shadows, and it was obvious that these princes and nobles were here for this lot.
"I've tested it before, but if any of my friends still don't believe it, you can come on stage and test it again!" Cervantes said loudly.
"Master, don't talk about these scenes, who of us won't believe you, you can start the auction quickly!"
Cervantes couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Well, since everyone believes in my old man, then now this ring with ten cubic meters of space will be auctioned, and the auction reserve price will be 500,000 gold coins, and each increase shall not be less than 10,000 gold coins!"
