"Seven mountains and one parting, it has been a few years, and most of the old friends at the beginning have not been heard from now, but I didn't expect that we could meet again here. Kimir said softly.

Evans, who had always been reticent, suddenly saw his old friend, and it didn't change much, he nodded, and retreated behind Damian.

However, Loren was very interested in Kimir and Evans's past, and there was an eager expression on his face, but because of this occasion, it was difficult to ask directly.

"Viscount Damian is guarded by the Grand Knight Evans, and he must be safe and secure. But it's best to be cautious, after all, those who believe in the Light are far more despicable than the dark cultists like us. Sittings politely held out his right hand, "I'm Sitins, from the Dark Holy See Inquisition. ”

Sitins's background has been briefly mentioned by Evans before, and the big man from the Dark Church, Damian hastened to return the salute.

"Lord Sitings, why did you come here in person today?" Loren was obviously familiar with Sitings and knew his status in the Sect, and was very surprised that the Dark Holy See would let him out.

"It's not for the Black Dragon Element in Viscount Damian's hands, if possible, the Pope even wants to come in person......" Sitings smiled at Damian, "The Dark Holy See wants to carry out further cooperation with you, and the Black Dragon Element really means a lot to us. ”

"I'm sorry. Damian could only refuse him, "The amount of black dragon is indeed limited, I don't know if I should say that you are late or what, but the black dragon element in today's auction is indeed all I have so far." ”

"Besides......," Damian said, looking at Sitins, "you have quite a few of them now, don't you?"

Sittings knew that he was referring to the Black Dragon Element that the Dark Sect had purchased from the Medici family at great expense, and he didn't intend to hide this matter, he nodded, "But that's not enough, we do have a huge demand for Black Dragon Element." ”

"There's no way around that, the production of black dragon is limited, and now it's really gone, maybe in the future, we can come up with a better way. Damian didn't close the door completely.

"Understood. As if expected, there was no disappointment on Sitings' face,

"So today, we're going to give it our all. Sittings looked up to the stage, the auction was about to begin.

.........

Damien returned to the upstairs box and watched the venue through the glass window. Today, his black dragon is the absolute protagonist, and Damian doesn't want to attract attention, in case the auction price is too high to bear, Damian is afraid that he will be beaten to death with a cane by an emotionally uncontrollable nobleman.

Sittings and Armitage sat in the front rows of VIPs on the left and right, with the attendants standing with bidding cards and the nobles taking their seats waiting for the auction to begin.

After the auctioneer came on the stage and said a simple opening remark, he went directly to the topic, because the black dragon element is the only auction item today, so he naturally made a big boast, and almost said that the black dragon element is a magic potion that can bring the dead back to life, and Damian feels ashamed when he listens to it.

"Ten bottles of black dragon, the starting price is 1,000 gold, and the auction is now open. The auctioneer's side finally ended his boasting and announced the start of the auction.

In order to improve the efficiency of the auction and let the bidders not reduce their excitement due to the lengthy auction process, Kritina set the black dragon in a group of ten bottles, and auctioned a total of eight times. As for the starting price of 100 gold bottles, compared with the current price of three or four hundred gold on the black market, it is still very cheap.

Dozens of bidders raised the sign in their hands, and the price of black dragon surged all the way, quickly breaking through the 1,000 mark, followed by the 2,000 mark, and when it reached 3,000 gold, there were still more than a dozen bidders left.

3,400 gold once, 3,400 gold once, 4,000 gold! Lord Armitage from Holy Landing City bids 4,000 gold!

Armitage finally couldn't help but make a move, and the big names of the Holy See raised their cards, and many nobles withdrew from the competition, first, the price did exceed their expectations, and second, there was no need to openly oppose the Holy Light Holy See.

But at the same time, seeing the actions of the Holy Light Holy See, several forces immediately went down to participate in the auction, they were all big nobles from the dark camp, and they were clearly coming to stop Armitage, so the competition became white-hot.

"6,000 gold!" Armitage refused to give in at all, fighting alone with the nobles under the command of the Dark Church, and the families close to the Holy Landing City gave up the competition to make way for Armitage.

"7,000 gold, Habs bid 7,000 gold, is there anything higher than this?"

"Habs?" Damian looked into the arena, but he didn't expect it to be Anna who was holding the sign.

"Didn't she pick up her mother, and why is she holding up a sign here?" Damien wondered.

"I think Aunt Dorothy meant, this time she is here on behalf of our Habs Empire. Loren winked at Damian.

Damian looked around Anna carefully, and saw no one who matched the image of the famous "widow duke", and Dorothy probably didn't want to show up, so he asked his daughter to bid on her behalf.

For the first time, Armitage's expressionless face rippled, and he glanced in the direction of Sitings, who had not reacted at all to the Dark Holy See, which was the most imperative of the Black Dragon, and Sitins was still chatting with his men, as if the auction on the stage had nothing to do with them.

But thinking of what the secretary of state said to himself before leaving, Armitage still asked the attendant to raise the bidding card in his hand.

The Holy Light Sect's attitude towards Black Dragon Element is very simple, since it can't prevent his appearance, then buy it all back, and don't let Black Dragon Element circulate in the market. As long as you can maintain the Holy Light's monopoly in the field of healing evil spirit invasions, you can spend as much as you want.

The Secretary of State said that there is no upper limit on the funds for Armitage's participation in this auction, but Armitage knows in his heart that if he really spends hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy these black dragons, he will return to Shenglin City and be sent to the court by political enemies in minutes.

How to grasp this degree is the time to test the political wisdom of the deputy secretary of state of the Senate.

Now only the Habs and the Holy See of Light are still bidding, and the two sides are back and forth, and the price soon came to 8,000 gold.

By now, Anna was also a little nervous, and she frequently looked at the box behind her, waiting for Dorothy's instructions.

"8000 once, 8000 twice, 8000...... 8100! Lord Sitings of the Dark Holy See bids 8100 gold!"

Armitage glanced at Sittings in disbelief, they are only raising their cards now, is it possible that 8,000 gold has only reached the psychological expectations of the Dark Church, what is the reserve price they have prepared for this thing? Armitage felt a big head.

At this point, Habs also withdrew from the auction, and the auction of Black Dragon Su turned into a war between the Holy Light and the Dark See.

From the first bid, no matter how much Armitage offered, he was always 100 gold higher than him, as if telling the Holy See of Light that I was going to decide on this thing.

The auctioneer on the stage had a hoarse voice, and the amount on the field had already exceeded the highest price in the auction house's history, but since this was a bundle of ten bottles, if the unit price was concerned, it was Damian's Bernoulli Staff that held the record.

"Ten thousand gold! We witnessed today that the Lorraine auction market has entered the era of ten thousand gold, and this historic offer comes from Lord Armitage!"

The Deputy Secretary of State of the Senate still quoted this price that he couldn't think of before, although spending too much money to go back may be attacked by political enemies, but if the Dark Holy See really buys all the Black Dragon Su, the consequences are unimaginable.

"10,000 gold once, 10,000 gold twice, 10,000 gold...... Congratulations to the Holy Light Holy See for photographing the first group of Black Dragons. ”

Hearing the auctioneer's announcement, Armitage looked a little stunned, why didn't the Dark See follow the price? He looked at Sittins, who didn't have a look of disappointment and frustration on his face, but made a polite gesture to him.

Amid the congratulations of the people around him, Armitage vaguely felt that he was being teased.
