"VIP No. 6, 150 million!"

The host was played by the courtesan who had seduced Downton, and when he saw him holding up his sign to bid, he deliberately rolled his eyes and made a gesture of an abandoned lover.

She has been waiting for this scene for a long time, just to create a scandal and raise her own value.

The entire opera hall stopped talking and looked over as the courtesans shouted out the numbers of the VIP boxes.

Everyone knows that sitting there is the new god of war, His Highness Downton.

The guests who were interested in bidding shook their heads, and then they all smiled, regardless of whether Downton could see it or not.

"Why ......"

Some young aristocrats came to the auction for the first time, and were taken by their elders to see the world, and they were very puzzled to see this scene.

"It's a signal of goodwill, a sign of sincerity. ”

The elder explained.

"But this price is obviously not the bottom line, those just now, they were red-faced, and it was clear that they were determined to win. ”

The young aristocrat questioned.

"Fool, that may be a cowardly gesture, tricking the opponent into a big bid, and then lowering the competitor of the auction item behind, here, don't trust anyone easily, and don't believe what you see with your eyes, the only thing you can rely on is your experience. ”

The elder was very patient, "Of course, after His Royal Highness Downton made a bid, everything didn't matter. ”

The young nobleman pouted.

"Boy, you still have a lot to learn, don't just stare at the auction items, the style of those old nobles is also worth learning, most of the people sitting here are old foxes. ”

"Then Downton is the little fox, right?"

The young nobleman's eyes lit up, thinking he had discovered a big secret.

"Wrong. ”

The elder shook his head.

"Huh?"

The young nobleman wondered.

"Downton is a beast of prey. There are also those wealthy families, so after they bid, any sound will disappear, remember, the only one who can fight with the beast is the beast. ”

The elders sighed.

"And what about us foxes?"

The young nobleman asked.

"Follow the beast, of course. Eat some leftovers and grill them cold. ”

The second half of the elder's sentence was not said, that is, 'If you have the ability, you can also play the beast', but it is too difficult to do this.

The last person to do this was Downton, the fox of the West.

"I see, here, there are a lot of valuable things. The friendship of the wealthy family, the favor of the royal family, I should grab those tangible benefits. ”

The young nobleman suddenly realized.

The elder didn't speak, but his eyes narrowed, revealing a look of relief, and the son could be taught.

"One hundred and fifty million, three times!"

There are a lot of auctions hosted by courtesans, and they are used to seeing this situation, so they speak a little faster. Avoid time loss.

"Deal. ”

The courtesan announced that the No. 6 VIP bid was successful, and the opera house immediately burst into warm applause. Congratulations Downton.

Looking at those big nobles and businessmen who are usually high, all looking at Downton's box, with a smile, courtesans are full of emotion.

"I really want to sit by Downton's side as a female companion and enjoy the awe of this kind of master!"

The courtesan sighed deeply. Even if it's only for a moment, it's a pity that this glory belongs to Sissi.

"Hey, why aren't they bidding?"

Hu Tao eats an egg tart. I'm also going to kill you.

"Because they like your cuteness!" Downton teased, "go and thank you!"

Although I don't understand why, little Lori still stood on the balcony of the box and made a skirt salute downward.

"Thank you!"

The applause, which had been sparse, rang out again.

It seems rude that Downton did not appear in person, but people did not have any resentment except jealousy and envy, because this is not called arrogance, but the posture of the wealthy and the royal family.

The bidding continued, Hu Tao was also buying, buying, buying, and buying, and she had no concept of money at all, so when she came across an item she liked, she would sell.

"Eighty million, deal!"

"260 million, deal!"

"500 million, deal!"

......

The sound of the transaction price stimulated the eardrums of the guests, more and more eyes, and the time spent in the No. 6 VIP box was longer.

"What are you buying?"

"It's completely irregular!"

"It seems to be for that little girl!"

The guests guessed the answer, but they couldn't believe it, for a small child, more than a billion gold coins were smashed out in less than half an hour, which is too exaggerated, right?

"Oh, you don't have to let me, you can bid if you want, in fact, some things, such as the magic guide slate, my plan is to shoot it, and if you can't shoot it, you can't pull it down. ”

Hu Tao stood up and shouted to the audience.

The noisy auditorium was directly cold.

"There are rumors that Downton is Lo ~ Licon, and I believe it now. ”

The dark psychology of the aristocrats broke out, there was no way, Hu Tao and Downton had nothing to do with it, except for the little love ~ people, they didn't think that a man would spend so much money for a little girl.

More than a billion, not to mention the courtesans in Wangcheng, plus the ladies and celebrities, they can sleep all over.

"Oops, I want that too, 100 million gold coins!"

Seeing the maid walking onto the stage with a tray on it and a colorful butterfly pendant on it, Hu Tao directly offered the price, she thought this thing was very worthy of Sissi.

"Hug ...... Sorry, the auction hasn't started yet. ”

The corners of the courtesan's mouth twitched a little, didn't this little Lori take money as money? and Downton, who actually indulged her.

"Trench, it's too trench. ”

The nobles had nothing to say, but they also knew that Downton was not short of money.

The Lombati Alliance, although it is about to be surpassed by the Kuta Magic Empire, still barely maintains the title of the richest empire in the whole continent, and Sissi, as the favorite princess of Maximilian II, has personal assets that are enough to rank among the top ten richest people in the mainland.

Not to mention Downton, the rich and beautiful wife of a local tyrant, she is also an expert in making money, and the free trade zone has created a precedent for the trade situation. Less than five years after its establishment, the Gun Flower Business Group has become the overlord of the first logistics company in the mainland, and the goblin venture capital company under its command is frantically investing and merging a large number of companies to carry out some mysterious layouts.

Goblin tentacles. It is reaching every corner of the continent, and the glorious business empire that the goblins once built seems to be reappearing.

Except for the Goblin Consortium, only a few people know that on the mainland, the newly rising Blackwater Security Company is owned by Downton, and it provides a large number of experienced mercenaries, nominally in charge of security. But in fact, it was to help with the war.

Barbarians, Hill Dwarves, Bloodthirsty Orcs, Krupp Giants, Drow Elves, and even Ultra Beasts can provide what customers need, and Blackwater Security can provide it.

Because of the appearance of this company, on the mainland. The pattern of competition among the aristocracy is changing, and the previous petty fights. Duels with each other, assassinations, turned into a blatant push.

A mode of proxy warfare is being opened.

The world has become unstable, and the smoke is everywhere, and it is the stage where the arms dealers and giants are active. A pattern embroidered with a magic cannon began to fill the world.

It is the symbol of Krupp's military industry, representing the most advanced, sophisticated, reliable, and cheapest weapons.

When Downton became Duke of the West, he began to spend a lot of money to build a military industrial system in the dungeon city of Porus, and now. With the cooperation with Lombardy, Yves Saint Laurent and Britannia, the system was completed.

A team of Krupp giants, dwarves, dwarves, and goblin craftsmen who are skilled in forging, metallurgy, material science, etc., is bursting with wisdom.

The crystallization of this light made the whole continent wail in the flames of war.

This kind of money, on every copper plate, was stained with fishy blood, and Downton really didn't want to make it, but a word from the second persuaded him.

"If you don't earn it, there will be other people who will earn it, and it is better to hold it in your own hands than to hand over the fuse of the war. ”

As a result, Downton became an arms giant, selling weapons all over the world, especially with the help of the powerful logistics of the gun flower merchants, his weapons could even be sold to the barbarian tribes in the far north and the humid tropical jungles in the south.

The Amazon female warriors who live there, if someone gives them a war blade branded with a Krupp pattern, they are not only willing to sleep with ~ a few nights, but also cut off each other's heads and treasure them forever in the tree house.

Of course, the salesmen who went to the south to expand trade did not think so, but the generous salaries made batches of men follow one after another.

While selling weapons and proxiing wars, Downton's Explorers Guild of Dwarves is also under the protection of mercenaries, exploring ore veins, world relics, ruins, and interpreting world history......

Of course, the main job is to explore valuable things.

As the owner of the Ring of the Lonely Mountain and the titular dwarven king, Downton used a lot of money and fame to recruit many dwarven tribes, and the Explorers Guild was composed of these dwarves.

If it weren't for Downton's refusal, the slave hunting group formed by the drow elves who had a good relationship with him would still plan to sell people.

These rangers, accustomed to killing and bloodshed since childhood, are simply natural adventurers, and in their eyes, there is no mercy and sympathy, only profit.

Downton's chariot has actually been driven normally, and it is impossible to slow down.

Every subordinate who swears to follow Downton to the death, in addition to glory, also needs benefits, and they also have families and clans to feed.

A team, when it is maintained by interests, will be stable, far more firm than any vague oath and faith.

One hero and three gangs, no matter how capable Downton is, there is only one person, and his energy is limited, so he can only lead the general direction, and his subordinates will implement the plan concretely.

Fortunately, Downton's broad mind has recruited too many alien talents for him, and those races that are looked down upon by other humans have shown great talent under his hands.

Downton was a little distracted, and when she heard Hu Tao's scream, she realized that she had spent another 300 million to buy something that she couldn't even name. (To be continued.) )
