After being dismissed as absurd by Donner, the bet naturally became an empty word. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Still, three days later, Donner took Shaida with him—for nothing else, but for her name as the little witch of the Lega family.

The VIP auction room upstairs of the auction house is not much different from the noisy hall downstairs, except that the area is much smaller, and the furnishings are correspondingly more noble and ornate.

The entire circular hall is surrounded by elaborate frescoes on the walls, which are inferior even to the frescoes of the Cathedral of Light if judged purely from an artistic point of view.

In the center of the hall, on an auction table made of rosewood, more than one and a half people high, the auction hammer had been put away in advance.

Around this auction table, there are already a lot of people sparsely seated.

After sending Shaida in, Donner withdrew, and whispered a few words to Martin, who immediately brought over the list of guests who had been confirmed to participate in the auction.

In addition to the Helians who live in the Holy City, many of them are from the two holy houses adjacent to the Plains of Miracles, including the Brown family of the Spring Sacred Temple.

"That's a lot of people......" Donner nodded slightly.

"Yes, we have been notified if we can. Martin smiled and said, "By the way, Young Master John, are all the seven forbidden magic circles ready?"

"Why, the core has arrived?" asked Donner, in a low voice.

Martin nodded solemnly, he postponed the silent auction that was originally scheduled to be held in seven days for two days, just because he had to go to the Earth Sacred Courtyard in person. He rushed back to St. Petersburg only last evening.

"Yay...... I've got all seven of them. Donner patted the package he was carrying.

Martin nodded happily and led Donner to the side of the chamber.

After examining the seven circles and making sure they were correct, he took out a large wooden box and carefully pushed it in front of Donner.

Donner placed the wooden box in the center of the table, opened the metal clasp, and lifted the wooden box, revealing a pile of red feathers.

"Fire Phoenix...... Martin prompted.

Donner nodded secretly, the Fire Phoenix is Raphael Lega's name, and it is also a legendary fire-type demonic beast.

He took out the feathers one by one and unfolded the wrapped skin, only to see a crimson core.

The whole beast core was just grasped with one hand, heavy, and it also exuded heat from time to time.

Facing the light, you can see the dense tendon lines inside the beast core.

That's right, this is indeed a legendary beast core.

"This thing, it's not going to give me trouble, is it?" said Donner.

However, Martin did not take this as a joke, and he admonished with a straight face: "It should be safe inside the Holy City, but you better not take it out of the Holy City." ”

"Hmm......" Donner smiled and nodded, putting the core back into the box, closing the metal clasp and wrapping it tightly.

The seven forbidden circles in the package had been handed over to Martin, and the space vacated was just enough to hold the wooden box.

"You don't want to auction a forbidden circle at today's auction, do you?" asked Donner with a sudden smile.

"Oh...... Rest assured, we won't do that. Martin hurriedly explained.

"That's good. Donner nodded knowingly.

If there is a forbidden circle into today's auction, everyone will definitely hold their purses tightly and just wait to smash this circle, and then Wesley's two paintings may be left out in the cold.

Donner then handed the two of Wesley's paintings, along with the relevant descriptions, to Martin, who carefully confirmed them before asking, "Master John, are there any lots you are interested in on this list?"

"I'm only interested in the Beast Core. Donner replied bluntly.

Martin smiled and nodded, "I see." ”

"No one is going to raise the price with me, is it?" asked Donner, pointedly—as far as he knew, there were no fewer unspoken rules in the auction.

Martin laughed and said, "Young Master John, you are a big customer, how can we do anything for this little money?"

"That's good. Donner smiled and nodded.

"By the way, I wonder if you have any intention of selling the fifty first-level magic circles that Miss Una took last time?" Martin then asked.

Donner smiled slightly and replied to the other party, not only these first-level magic circles to be sold, but he will also have some magic circles in the future, which will be sold through the auction house.

When Martin heard this answer, he kept rubbing his hands, and his excitement was overflowing.

The two sat and chatted for a while, and it wasn't until the auction was about to start that Martin sent Donner to the door of the VIP auction room.

At this time, the auction hall, which can accommodate more than 100 people, was already full, and only the seat reserved for Donner in the front row was still empty.

He walked straight over, and when he sat down, he realized that Cross was not far from him.

The two nodded slightly, as if they had said hello.

At this time, Martin also walked towards the central auction table.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the roll of animal skin in his hand.

"That's right......" Martin stood in front of the auction table, raised the animal skin scroll in his hand, and said loudly, "This circle is the protagonist of today......"

He paused for a moment and waited until the atmosphere had been stirred up before continuing: "...... A magical circle created by the genius master of the magic circle, John Smith...... I'm sure you already know its name. ”

Martin pointed to John Smith and pointed at Donner, who smiled and nodded at him.

And when he finished saying this, the auction hall immediately resounded with knowing laughter - he deliberately did not say the specific name, naturally alluding to the other name of the forbidden word circle.

It has to be said that Martin is very good at mobilizing the atmosphere, which is probably why he was able to become the chief deacon of the St. Petersburg auction house.

"It is precisely because of the appearance of this magic circle that there will be today's unprecedented silent auction......" The excitement in Martin's tone seemed just right, which could not only infect everyone present, but also not make people tired: "You are all witnesses of this historical moment!"

Martin paused and waited for applause before continuing: "Of course, if the whole auction is silent, you probably won't even know what you've bought......

Laughter......

"So, today's auction is arranged in such a way that I introduce the lots before each lot starts to be auctioned, and then I go into the silent auction process...... Everyone has three signs next to them, blue represents an increase in the price of one amethyst, orange represents an increase in the price of ten amethysts, and purple represents a hundred amethysts in the price...... I would ...... here."

Martin pointed to a wooden board beside him: "Write the current price of the sign...... If I raise my hand five times and no one raises the price, I'll drop the gavel...... All right...... I didn't bring a gavel with me at all...... Because even if the hammer is dropped, there will be no sound. ”

Martin spread his hands, and laughter ensued.

Occasionally, there are also the sounds of someone joking:

"Doesn't blue mean a premium for an aquamarine?"

"yes, orange should be an orange crystal, right......"

"Martin, your arms are so short, can we see you raise your hand?"

Martin spread his hands and said with a smile, "Did you see, that's what the silent auction is all about...... Only then will you not hear what I'm saying when I turn my tongue at me......"

Another burst of laughter.
