Chapter 10 Does it hurt you to slap your face like this?
The world is really crazy.
Damien was in the box upstairs, watching the hot scene of the auction, and he was simply dumbfounded.
After the low price of 3,000 gold was marked, many buyers participated in the auction, but all of them were 50 gold and 100 gold were marked at the price.
But when the bid reached around 3,500 gold, a buyer suddenly raised the bid price to 4,000 gold.
At this point, most bidders withdrew from the bid.
But there are still a few buyers who are not to be outdone and continue to bid, and the price of the wand continues to soar, after breaking through 4500 gold, most of them can't afford this price and exit, leaving only two buyers still competing.
One is the mysterious man who raised the price to 4,000 gold, and the other, Damian happens to know, is the genius of the Fern family on the magician's apprentice test, Leon.
"What did he buy this for, isn't he a Holy Light Mage?" Damian wondered.
And in the auction field, Leon is also a little difficult to ride now.
"Young master, I have already found out, the one who made the bid is someone from the Habs Empire, according to people familiar with the matter, it is very likely to be Princess Loren of the Alvar royal family, she just recently went to Lorraine Magic School as an exchange student, and the one holding the sign is her personal attendant, the news should be correct. ”
"Princess Loren, why does she want this thing?" Leon, the name of this unruly princess, has also heard of it, although the Foun family is one of the best families in Lorraine, but it still can't be compared with the imperial royal family, so he doesn't want to have a holiday with a princess, and he can't help but retreat a little.
"Young Master Leon, you can't stop there. "The man who spoke was Eduardo, the nephew of the Duke of Lorraine, who was also a royal son.
Eduardo's father was the younger brother of the Duke of Lorraine, who made him Duke of Leinster and possessed the rich county of Leinster, and he, the first in line to the throne of Leanster, was an out-and-out gentleman.
In the territory, he either oppressed his subordinates or molested good families, and finally, after making a peasant's daughter belly, Duke Rincester couldn't bear it anymore, beat him up, and sent him to Lorraine, where he finally worshipped under the door of Master Gülen after a lot of connections.
Unexpectedly, Eduardo was in Leinstershire, that is, the dragon trapped in the shallows, and when he arrived in Lorraine, he found his own stage, and he quickly mingled with the young nobles of Lorraine, and formed the so-called "Thousand Bird Knights" with some like-minded fox friends and dogs, and became a tyrant of Lorraine.
Eduardo, a noble young master, can get better and better after leaving his territory, not by his duke's father, but by his superb interpersonal skills. Leon of the Fern family is the target of his focus, firstly because of the status of the Fern family in the principality, and secondly because he is the most valued student of Teacher Gülen, this friend is worth spending money to make friends with both affection and reason. At this moment, he saw Leon's hesitation, so he decided to play the role of a good brother who "sent charcoal in the snow".
Eduardo leaned over to Leon and whispered, "I know you want to give this thing as a gift to the teacher, who hates that Merlin so much that he suddenly got a dragon slayer's staff, and I don't know how happy I am." How can such a precious auction item be handed over? ”
Leon looked at him and didn't speak.
"I am also a student of the teacher, and the filial piety of Young Master Leon to the teacher is in the eyes of the brother and in the heart. "Eduardo is already commensurate with the Leon brothers.
"So I will help you achieve this wish, the next price, I Eduardo to pay, the previous 4500 gold is yours, no matter how much after that, until you take it, it will be mine, no matter what princess he is, you know, this is Lorraine, I want some people to understand, Lorraine is in charge. ”
Eduardo still has a brain, and if he really wants him to take 4,500 gold or more to befriend Leon, this is also expensive. But now the auction item has been too premium, and the space for further bidding is limited, and it can be won for a few hundred gold at most, and at the same time, Leon owes him a big favor.
Leon heard Eduardo say this, and smiled slightly, money is on the one hand, and the main thing is that he doesn't want to be embarrassed by a princess, since Eduardo is willing to be this up-and-coming bird, then let him go.
"Then it's going to bother Edward. Leon gave Eduardo a noble salute, "Next time the Knights of the Thousand Birds gather, call my brothers and I for a drink." "This is a verbal promise to join the gang.
Eduardo gave Leon a "really good brother" expression, and calmly raised the bidding card in his hand.
"4,600 gold! This young master paid 4,600 gold, is there anyone else?" The auctioneer's voice was already hoarse, he hadn't seen this crazy situation for many years.
Eduardo put down the sign and glanced back at Leon, meaning to leave it to me, don't worry.
On the other side, the attendants were still discussing urgently, and seeing that the auctioneer was about to shout 123, Loren rushed out from the side, grabbed the bidding card, and went on the field in person.
"5,000 gold?!" the auctioneer suspected that he had read it wrong, and read the number out in disbelief.
Everyone in the audience focused on Loren, and saw the beautiful girl standing on the high platform, her short silver hair fluttering, and the tight combat uniform showed the graceful curves of her body, and the whole person had a youthful and wild beauty.
She looked around the room and said in an unquestioning tone, "I, Alvar Loren, have this staff for nowhere, and whoever you bid, no matter how much you bid, I will be with you to the end." ”
Everyone in the audience was shocked, not only because of her bid, but because of her bold style, Lorraine, who pursues the image of "elegant lady" among women, seems so special and eclectic.
So on this day, the fame of "Miss Alva" Loren officially spread in the Duchy of Lorraine.
Eduardo's face turned red, "This little girl, don't you have a shame on your face?" He gritted his teeth and said, "Lao Tzu will also accompany you to the end!"
Now it's not a question of helping Leon get ahead, it's a matter of Young Master Edward's face, after all, Edward has a lot of mixed up, with the title of Heir of Ranster, the title of a royal disciple of Lorraine, and it's just a face, like this kind of thing that pretends to be forced but is slapped in the face, if it just lets it happen, won't it become a joke for the entire Lorraine high society?
5100 gold! Eduardo gave his counter-attack.
6000 gold! Loren was too lazy to play a tug-of-war with him, and directly magnified the moves.
6,100 gold! When the auctioneer was about to shout out 6,000 gold, Eduardo slowly raised the sign.
7,000 gold! This is the highest price ever paid for an item sold at Sobis Auction House. Eduardo's side was lifeless.
"7,000 gold once, 7,000 gold twice, 7,000 gold three times, sold!" The auctioneer felt that his heart was about to be overwhelmed, it was simply too exciting.
"Congratulations to Miss Loren for getting this staff, and thanks to Miss Loren, for letting us see the wealth of the Alva royal family. The auctioneer took the lead in applauding, and slowly, the audience applauded.
In the circle of nobles, although your family is important and your title is important, the most important thing is strength. Without strength, you are the Holy Light Pope and no one cares.
Having strength is a kind of strength.
Having money is also a kind of strength.
Today, Princess Loren used her absolute strength to convince the high-ranking magnates of Lorraine.
Ignoring the huge sensation she had caused and the accosting of the nobles who had gathered around, Loren walked up to Anna and said with a smile, "It's done for you." ”
Anna had already cried again, she hugged Loren, leaned on her shoulder, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Loren, but the price is too high for me to afford." ”
Loren patted her on the back, seemingly unconcerned.
"It's okay, I'll give it to you. ”
