The battleship blueprint ended up in Charles' hands, and the guy snorted smugly and gestured a middle finger towards Downton's box.

"What's going on?"

Downton chases away unrelated people and has Homer release the Silent Enchantment to prevent others from prying eyes.

"The power of the major giants in their own countries is deep-rooted, and in the face of competition from other countries' business groups, they will spontaneously unite, and it is too difficult for the guns to expand the market, so they have to dig a pit for them to jump. ”

Sissi explained.

Don't look at the drawings taken by Charles, in fact, he is a representative of several forces, and the funds are divided equally by everyone, and he will even use the drawings as capital to attract more allies.

"I always feel that giving them drawings is too cheap for them. ”

Hu Tao pouted.

"Those drawings are all technical reserves, which have no value for Lombardy, and giving them to others can induce them to invest a lot of manpower and financial resources in research, and then delay time, of course, even if the battleship leaves the factory, there are all kinds of trivial ......"

Business things can't be explained clearly in one or two sentences, and Sissi has the courage to sell drawings, so she has a good way to deal with it.

How to defeat the Shire's business alliance and acquire the markets it owns...... It can be said that no matter who bought the drawings, from the moment they got it, they began to fall into Sissi's trap.

"What if someone else defeats you?"

Elaine was worried.

"There is no absolute thing in business, but as a leader, Gunhua can still be defeated by latecomers like Charles, then I am convinced!"

When Sissi said this, she was domineering and radiant, her combat effectiveness was not good, but in the business field, she was definitely a genius.

"I see!"

Downton noted. Like the Rockefeller, Hanover, and Medici consortiums, although they bid, they are not enthusiastic, and obviously have their own plans.

The auction went on, with some interesting gadgets that piqued Sissi's interest. will be photographed by her.

In a short period of time, Sissi spent billions of gold coins, and the local tyrant style of spending money like dirt made the guests present amazed, but also all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.

The men were jealous of Downton's good fortune and got the love of Bai Fumei, the first in the Western Continent, and the women were all eager to enjoy the joy of shopping, as long as they liked it, they could buy it. You don't have to worry about the price.

"It's really beautiful!"

Sissi took a necklace she had just bought and put it on Elaine.

"It's too precious for me to ask for it. ”

Elaine wants to pick it, this is a magic costume worth hundreds of millions, even if she becomes a princess, she is still the thrifty girl next door.

"Sissi doesn't care about that, if you call her sister-in-law, she'll happily buy the whole auction and give it to you. ”

Homer teased.

"What nonsense!"

Sissi's cheeks flushed.

The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed. Six heavily armed guards walked up carrying a crystal chest, covered in velvet. People can't see what's inside......

"The next auction item is one of the three major treasures of this auction. The auctioneer paused for more than ten seconds, and when all the guests' attention was cast, she suddenly ripped off the flannel.

Swish!

The colorful light suddenly overflowed, and at that moment, everyone seemed to have returned to ancient times. Saw a different sight.

There was an uproar.

"No one knows its name, but according to the Elders of the Council of Magic, this magical item comes from the Age of Titans, and possibly, even predates the Titans. ”

The auctioneer says every word. The loud voice in the hall will be a little louder.

Inside the crystal chest was a cube, about the size of a watermelon, perfectly without a single gap, as if it had been naturally generated.

"What's the use?"

A guest shouted.

"Sorry, with our knowledge, we can't crack it yet, which is why it's being sold. ”

An old man walked up to the stands and explained on his behalf, but no one was displeased, but even with the members of the wealthy family, they all stood up and bowed their heads.

"Who is this old man?"

Hu Tao was surprised, this scene was too exaggerated, even those princesses and princes greeted them respectfully, and the audience was silent, and even the sound of breathing slowed down a lot.

"He is the first man in the wizarding world, Master St. Oxon Puskash!"

Sissi explained in a low voice.

This is a raunchy old man, the magic robe on his body has not been washed for a long time, it exudes a strange smell, not to mention, it is still sticky to the grains of rice from a few months ago, his hair is messy like a chicken nest, his two eye sockets are deep, he has not rested for several years, but his eyes that should be cloudy are as bright as stars.

At present, there are only two heroes left in the Western Earth Continent who participated in the holy war 10,000 years ago, and Puskas is one of them, and he also translated the Demon Flame script to simplify multiple languages.

In the past, in order to become a magician, you must first have a great talent for language, but after the invention of Puskas's simplified language, the discipline of magic was completely 'popularized'.

Although it is still difficult to have a high level of magical knowledge, Puskas has undoubtedly increased the base of magic apprentices, at first glance, these lowest-end magicians are useless, but you must know that one generation of education generation, the basic quality will continue to improve, and finally one day, the era when everyone is a magician will come.

"The material composition of this cube seems to be metal, but I have used various means, but I can't test which one it belongs to, it is like a world, maybe dormant, or it may be running according to some independent ~ law. ”

When the old man said these words, he looked at the cube like a spoiled child.

"In the holy war 10,000 years ago, I was just a magic apprentice, and the legion I was in was completely wiped out by the aftermath of the power of the evil gods, and I was seriously injured, even if I was lucky enough to be healed by Moria, she also said that I would be a cripple in this life, and the highest achievement was just a generalissimo. ”

The old man began to narrate the secrets of the year, which made everyone in the audience hold their breath after exclaiming.

"It was obtained by accident during an adventure 5,000 years ago, and it was by virtue of it that I became the Holy Honor. ”

The old man had a look of remembrance on his face. "It helped me fight off the Infinite Dragon King at the time, and allowed me to reshape my body and soul when I was dying, but after that, it never 'woke up' again!"

"Sure enough, the strong have good luck!"

Homer sighed.

"I have sought out the saint and asked her to do my divination. She said, this cube has nothing to do with me, I am not willing to give up, I am not reconciled, I want to know its mystery, but thousands of years have passed, I still have nothing. ”

The old man's face was full of grief, and since he was saved by the cube, he began to dream of some fragments. On the shards, there are strange worlds, strange people, and strange weapons, and those people are also struggling to survive......

"Fate told me I couldn't afford to keep it waiting any longer, so I'm selling it at the biggest auction of all at Midsummer Night's Festival!"

Saying this, the old man's eyes moistened. Choked up, even a fool could see it. He has an extremely deep affection for this cube.

"In order not to let everyone pay for a scrap item, Master Puskas will give the purchaser an apprenticeship, and at the same time, the gold coins obtained from the auction will be set up as a charitable organization. To help poor children across the continent!"

The auctioneer helped to announce.

Exclamations abounded, donating money, even if it is ten billion, the guests will not be surprised, who is Master Puskas? Money is for him. Already dung, what he is looking for is a mystery that people can never understand, the limit of magic!

The guests were amazed and coveted by the apprenticeship, a saint and a first person in the wizarding world, who would benefit a magician for the rest of his life with a few casual words.

"I'll give a billion gold coins!"

A nobleman roared out, but in the next second, he was met with contempt from the audience, you must know that Puskas has only three disciples until now, and after his death, all the inheritance is divided equally between these three people, and the gold coins are counted, and the mage tower and those precious magic notes left behind are priceless, and one billion wants to get this place?

"I'll give five billion gold coins!"

The Hohenzollerns spoke.

"Ten billion gold coins!"

Little Rockefeller was light and breezy, but he spit out a price that many nobles were afraid of.

"Damn, their family's wealth is not all obtained by selling national resources, what kind of ability is it?"

"Sure enough, only the giants are qualified to compete!"

"Such a good opportunity, I'm really unwilling, money is not everything, but it can bring everything!"

There are also many big nobles and businessmen present, with a lot of wealth, but compared with the wealthy family, it is not an order of magnitude at all.

"Ten and five billion gold coins!"

Othello shouted the price, there was no need to tell the family, he also knew that the White Rose would support him, and after obtaining the apprenticeship qualification, it was very possible to operate it properly and hold all the mage towers in his hands.

"Two tens of billions of gold coins!"

The Medici consortium raised its cards to bid.

The auctioneer was dumbfounded, she originally wanted to say that she hadn't said the minimum price increase standard, but as a result, these rich people began to soar, but it was useless, every time people raised the price, it was hundreds of millions, which was simply scary.

"Two and five billion gold coins!"

Kuta royalty strikes.

Many people began to give up, because this kind of bidding, even if it is a wealthy family, only a limited number of can afford to play, don't you see that Steinway and Hohenzollern have given up?

"Even if it's a wealthy family, it's also graded!"

A nobleman sighed, and then looked at Downton's box, Sissi hadn't made a move yet.

"It's a pity that Celes followed the Grand Duke of Death to the Dead Plane, otherwise she would have achieved extraordinary things by letting her study with Master Puskas. ”

Downton sighed.

"Don't be stupid, with Celeth's amazing talent, the Banshee Grand Duke will definitely find the most powerful mentor for her. ”

Homer regrets that the opportunity to teach a saint is gone.

"You can send the little walnut!"

Sissi teased, holding up the card, "Four tens of billions of gold coins!"

The bidding was suddenly interrupted, there was no way, the giants had to measure Sissi's determination to compete, and more than 40 billion was already a sky-high price.

"Four and five billion!"

The Medici consortium is still in contention.

"Five tens of billion!"

Sissi didn't hesitate to add.

"I don't want to study, warhammers and blades are where I belong. ”

Hu Tao shook Sissi's hand and pleaded.

"It's not necessary to spend so much money on just one apprenticeship, right?"

Elaine admits that it was a rare opportunity, but if the apprentice sent in didn't learn anything, so many gold coins would have been wasted.

"Any investment is risky. Sissi looked very open and glanced at the audience, "This is my bottom line, if someone else bids, I will give up." ”

"Five hundred and one billion!"

The addition of the Medici consortium has slowed down, which means that the price of apprenticeships is worth so much.

"Five and five billion!"

The sudden burst of numbers made the audience's eyes look away, and then they found that it was the Heinrich family who had been silent bidding.

"Give up!"

The spokesman of the Medici shook his head and congratulated the representatives of the Heinrich family.

"Five and five billion twice, if no one bids again, then the cube belongs to the Heinrich family!"

The auctioneer's hand holding the hammer was trembling because of the excitement, and she knew that even the finale item would not be able to sell for this price.

The wealthy gave up, so the guests began to compliment the middle-aged representative.

"Drop the hammer!"

Puskas nodded, Heinrich might be able to crack the mystery of the cube, but just as the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, another voice sounded.

"Six tens of billions!"

This is a cynical voice, some people are looking around, still looking for who is stirring up the situation, but a small part already knows who it is.

The middle-aged representative hesitated for a moment and chose to give up, because this price, in five hundred years, was the highest.

"Deal, congratulations to the mystery buyer!"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a janissary came over and whispered beside her.

"What?"

The auctioneer was shocked, "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

The Praetorian nodded.

"The buyer who auctioned the cube is His Majesty Henry, the greatest king of our holy Brittany, let us give us a round of applause!"

The auctioneer announced.

The guests applauded with smiles, but with sarcasm in their hearts, for these words were undoubtedly compliments, and everyone knew that Henry was notoriously a waste.

"Please be quiet, Your Majesty has something to convey, he admires the Duke of Downton very much, so he decided to give him the cube!"

The auctioneer almost repeated this sentence hard, and even bit her tongue, she was really afraid that Queen Oni would be angry and shoot herself to death.

"What?"

The hall seemed to be swept by the polar cold snap, and suddenly fell silent, and people's eyes looked at Downton, and then went to look for the figure of the queen.

It's good that Oni isn't here, otherwise there would be a good show.

"What is Your Majesty Henry doing here, announcing the recognition of Downton's status as a prince?"

Many people speculated.

The idea that Downton was Henry's illegitimate son burst into the hearts of all the guests in an instant, and if it wasn't so, why would he openly give the cube to Downton? That's six billion gold coins, melted into metal, enough to paint the whole of London golden.

"Huh?"

Downton was dumbfounded, his first reaction was that he was going to be used as a gun. (To be continued......)

PS: Woo woo, it's late again, I'm guilty!
