In Martin's experience, of course, he would not play such a self-defeating trick as first suppressing and then promoting. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Before he could open the scroll, he began to introduce:

"The lot to be introduced below is a work of no exception......"

"According to the assessment of Master Pinter, this is first and foremost a painting by the hand of a genius!"

Martin is still very cunning, not telling all the lies and not telling the truth.

The original words of Master Pinte are: The painter is a genius, but he is still too immature. When I got to him, the second half of the sentence disappeared automatically.

Then, on this painting, there is also the unique finishing touch of the genius magic array master John Smith! The magic circle left by Master John on this painting is the first work he has made since he quit the Magic Array Association...... It's also a work that has never been seen before!"

Martin said this, and then slowly unfolded the scroll.

After his powerful introduction, the painting has become quite important in the eyes of everyone.

But Martin immediately activated the circle behind the scroll.

Immediately, fireworks erupt from the starry sky in front of the painting.

"That's right!" Martin continued, turning around and showing the painting to the guests in a circle, "This is the perfect combination of the art of painting and the art of magic array......! It's painted backwards!"

By this point, Martin had already realized that something was wrong.

The reaction of everyone in the audience was far less enthusiastic than he imagined.

In fact, it was that silence circle that raised everyone's appetite so high that when they saw this painting, they only felt that it was too commonplace.

In contrast, however, Donner was not in the slightest panic.

In other words, the performance of everyone at this time has long been expected by him.

After all, it was just a Wesley painting and one of his apprentice-level circles. No matter how perfect the coordination is, no matter how amazing the creativity is, in addition to an appraiser like Dunpole who is obsessed with magic arrays, how many people can appreciate such a work.

Ten days ago, he asked Cross to do him a favor, just because he could help him in case this situation occurred.

As long as such a painting has a record of being sold at a high price, and then it enters the market in the future, some people will naturally buy it.

Finally, Martin glanced at Donner imperceptibly, announced that the auction would start at the price of one amethyst, and then activated the silence circle and entered the auction process before the boos began.

The first bidder was Shaida, who held up a blue sign and added an amethyst.

Before Martin could write the price on the board next to him, someone raised the price again.

Cross held up the orange sign and increased the price by ten amethysts.

It was only then that Martin made up his mind - he didn't know that Cross was the nurse that Downer had hired.

"Amethyst Twelve," he wrote quickly.

However, when he had just finished writing and turned around, two more signs were erected in the venue.

Shaida held up a blue sign.

Another middle-aged man Donner didn't recognize, holding a purple sign in his hand.

Everyone who saw this purple card couldn't help but gasp.

If it weren't for the activated silence circle, the hall might have been filled with exclamations at this time.

From Martin's mediocre response when he introduced it, to being suddenly increased to more than 100 amethysts, the value of this painting is too incomprehensible.

However, when Martin wrote "Amethyst 112", Kroos once again raised the blue card, pushing the price up again.

At this time, everyone looked at the middle-aged man who held up the purple sign just now.

I saw that the man smiled slightly and raised the purple card again.

Two hundred and twenty-two amethysts!

This is the highest price ever paid for any lot tonight!

When Martin had finished writing the three twos, he raised his hands excitedly, as if in celebration of victory, once! twice...... And then stopped!

...... Cross bids again!

This time, he also raised the purple card!

Donner frowned and glanced at him, it didn't look like he was helping to raise the price.

However, before Martin could write down the price of three hundred and twenty-two amethysts, the mysterious middle-aged man raised his card again......

He lifted it twice!

Between these two times, there is a very noticeable gap.

So, it's not that he's hesitating, it's that he's raising the price twice.

Five hundred and twenty-two amethysts!

Cross had put down the sign in his hand, but his hand had not left the grip.

Seeing him look at him with a smile, Donner quickly shook his head.

Fortunately, at this time, almost everyone in the audience looked at the mysterious middle-aged man, and no one noticed the communication between them.

In the end, this "Midsummer Night's Starry Sky" sold for 522 amethysts.

Donner turned and nodded at the middle-aged man.

Although he had already guessed that there would be such an outcome, the price still greatly exceeded Donner's psychological expectations - it seemed that he underestimated the power of the Brown family of the Spring Sacred Academy, and also underestimated the value of Ellie Brown.

That's right, the mysterious middle-aged man, who bought the painting at such a high price, was naturally courting Donner in exchange for his testimony in Ellie Brown's favor at the church trial a few days later.

At this point, Martin finally raised his hand five times and extinguished the silence circle.

"Congratulations, Mr. Jury Brown!" his voice just overshadowed the exclamations that filled the audience: "This is the most expensive painting in the history of the St. Petersburg Auction House! I am sure that this painting will be the most valuable of the many collections of the Brown family!"

Donner nodded slightly, Martin was right, for the Brown family, this painting is indeed valuable, it gave Avery Brown a life!

After a period of frenzy, the atmosphere was much more lively when Martin introduced the second painting.

As Donner expected, once a painting is sold for a high price, even those who do not understand the value of the painting will take the trouble to appreciate the beauty of it.

Therefore, when this "Gaze of the Elf Girl" was unfolded, the magic circle behind the painting was activated, and a faint mist condensed in front of the eyes of the girl in the painting, everyone let out exclamations.

"That's art......"

"That's right, look at the girl, the hair, the big and the small eyes...... Not...... The eyes are one big and one small...... Hmm...... "The man obviously didn't know what to say.

"Do you know what that mist means? That means the elven girl is about to cry...... This is an elegy for the status quo of the elves......"

"No, no, no, didn't you notice, it was the existence of that layer of mist that made the elf girl's eyes even more hazy......"

"No, you're thinking too simply, you're looking at this painting from your own perspective, but there's more to this painting than that...... If you think about it, this painting is called "The Gaze of an Elf Maiden...... Instead of "Gazing at the Elf Girl" ......"

"Yes, yes, that's right, the right angle to look at this painting should be to imagine yourself as the elf girl in the painting, through this layer of mist, she sees the whole world is hazy...... This is to say that she can't see through the human world no matter what......"

Listening to this over-interpreted comment, Donner couldn't help but laugh dumbly, even if Wesley himself was here, probably wouldn't have dissected the painting to this extent.

However, in Donner's opinion, whether it is the previous starry sky or this girl, the value is underestimated.

This is not only because they are the only expressionist and cubist works in this world, respectively.

What's more, after attaching the magic array, they have been born as postmodernist installation art.

Of course, although everyone understood the "essence" of the painting at once, this "Elf Girl's Gaze" still failed to sell as high a price as "A Midsummer Night's Starry Sky".

Eventually, the painting was bought by Cross for one hundred and sixty-two amethysts.
