Chapter 010: Shot after all
Nathan looked at Alva suspiciously, who opened his mouth to remind:
"What's the matter, Your Excellency the head of the regiment knows who the other party is?"
Alva didn't respond, and he didn't look at Nathan, just silently picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Nicole sat with her mother chatting about family matters, not caring in the slightest about what was going on here.
"Please also ask Your Excellency the head of the regiment to explain my doubts, where is the other party sacred?"
Nathan couldn't help himself, only to see him scratch his head restlessly and cast his hopeful gaze on Alva.
Alva knew that Nathan Claudius would not be able to make it to the stage after all. He is short-sighted and can't hide his thoughts, and he can't bear it anymore if he encounters a slight setback.
There is no concentration, no courage, and no strength.
Here's what Alva had to say about Nathan.
Putting down the teacup, Alva let out a long breath and said:
"Do you think I'm going to come to a place like this with my temperament?"
Although Nathan was so unbearable in Alva's eyes, he was one of the orthodox heirs who had received the elite education of the Claudius family, and he was awakened by just one word.
Nathan asked Alva tentatively:
"Is Your Excellency the Head of the Regiment here as the head of the Royal Demon Dao Regiment?"
Between the words, beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead, one by one, magnifying the uneasiness in his heart little by little.
Alva just smiled and didn't give a clear answer.
Silence is better than sound at this point.
He didn't speak, which made Nathan understand why.
Alva's participation in the auction was indeed not in his character, but if it was due to the needs of the mission, then he had to come.
As the head of the Royal Demon Dao Regiment, in addition to leading the Demon Dao Regiment to protect the safety of the imperial capital and participate in the war, he also has several tasks, one of which is this - to protect the royal family members.
Nathan figured out the cause and effect in an instant, and immediately knew that he really had eyes and didn't know Tarzan, and he was afraid that he had offended someone who shouldn't be offended.
There are only a few people in the entire Virgina who can be personally escorted by Alva, the head of the Royal Demon Dao Regiment, and their identities are obvious.
Nathan immediately made the right choice at the moment.
"Quick, steward, announce that I am abandoning the bid, abandoning the bid method I have proposed. ”
The steward listened to the conversation between the two on the side, and the steward, who was able to possess the key to the first-class box, could imagine his eyesight, and immediately knew who was sitting in the box not far from them.
Before he could nod, the steward quickly picked up the magic crystal and stopped the price hike before Leah could say "10,000 more".
"The guests in the third class of the first class gave up the bidding, and the previous way of increasing the price was invalid. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the Lint Hall.
"What?"
"I haven't added it this round, why did I coax it?"
"yes, that's too cowardly. ”
All kinds of incomprehension and ridicule were boiling, as if they were about to tear down the roof.
Nathan raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, finally relieved.
It seems that it is not too late, and then we must ask Alva clearly which His Royal Highness is here today, and then I will have a good chance to take the blame, so as not to leave a bad impression on the royal family because of this matter.
Leah shook her head with some disappointment:
"It seems that the guests in the third class still changed their attention and did not continue their previous arrogance to the end. ”
The disappointment that I don't know whether it was true or not, and at the same time true and false, was quickly swept away from that gorgeous face, and the fiery enthusiasm was ignited again:
"Come on, let's see if anyone else dares to challenge the distinguished guests of the first class box. Two hundred and sixty thousand for the first time!"
The audience could no longer suppress the anticipation in their hearts, this auction seemed to be no longer just an auction in their eyes, they were watching a good show of power and status, and what they were waiting for was the brave man who dared to break it all.
"Two hundred and sixty thousand for the second time!"
Everyone looks forward to the brave, that is the spirit of daring to challenge authority, that is the indomitable will, that is the picture that everyone dreamed of when they were young. Looking up at the five-fingered mountain above his head, he still straightened his back, and did not squint at the subway bones.
"Two hundred and sixty thousand, the third time!"
Today, I don't know if the brave will appear, whether he will appear here, appear in front of everyone, and challenge the first-class number one who is high above.
"Becoming ......"
Leah waved the auction gavel in her hand, and it was the moment when the final word was about to be decided.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and the spectators all looked around expectantly, hoping that someone would step forward in the last moment.
Nathan shook his head, sighed a little regretfully, and reluctantly looked at the delicate box on the stage that was focused by thousands of lights, and the bitterness in his heart was self-evident.
At the moment when the word "Jiao" was about to spit out flaming red lips, a sonorous and powerful voice came from the magic crystal.
"Ding and other guests in the fourth compartment bid!"
The long-awaited brave man has appeared!
This Ding and other No. 4 compartments are naturally the box where Caesar is.
Lee held the magic crystal in trembling hands, forcing himself to say what he had to say.
This is the first time he has stood in the box, using magic crystals for guests, and the price quoted is still a "barter" with many uncertainties, and he naturally has all kinds of apprehensions in his heart.
"Ding waiting for the box?"
Nathan in the first-class third compartment was disdainful, thinking: It seems that he doesn't know where the dirt buns and nouveau riche came from, and they dare to bid so casually in Virgina. You know, there are some things that you can't buy with money. This time, these lowly nouveau riche can know the true posture of this world.
Alva on the side just shook his head and didn't say a word.
And in that dark room, the young man in the Chinese robe paused for a moment, and then touched the ring on the thumb of his left hand, in the darkness, his face was difficult to see, and his mind was even more difficult to guess.
Liya's eyes flashed with surprise in the light of the stage, and she firmly locked her gaze on the inconspicuous No. 4 box.
"Someone from the private room?"
The other guests in the audience are also all kinds of understatements, this Ding class box is as long as you have money, you can apply for it without any identity. Perhaps the person sitting in it is not as good as the person sitting in the front row of the hall in terms of status, just a nouveau riche with a little money.
Only Liya couldn't hide the surprise and curiosity, and with a friendly smile on her face, she asked aloud:
"May I ask how much the guest in the fourth compartment is going to increase the price?"
Everyone was waiting for this "mysterious brave" to be shocked or in the limelight, but the other party fell into silence for a long time.
Leah waited a moment, and then repeated again:
"Guest, please increase the price. ”
The discussion was getting louder and louder, and everyone's hearts were filled with contempt, in Virgina it is not possible to be in the limelight, and the price after that must be considered clearly.
"This ......"
Lee's voice rang out again.
"The client wants to talk to the owner of the lot about the possibility of 'bartering'. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's original doubts really became all disdain.
"Bartering, don't you dare to come to the auction without money?"
"Do you think this is in the country? Are you going to take shells instead of money?"
The ridicule was embattled, and even Li was uneasy and uncertain in his heart.
Can His Excellency Caesar really come up with a precious treasure comparable to the Saint-Rank Fighting Technique?
After hearing that she was going to "barter", Leah frowned slightly:
"May I ask what the guest wants to exchange for this Holy Rank Fighting Skill?"
"The guest wanted to speak with the owner of the lot in person. ”
Li said it word for word according to what Caesar had told him, and at the same time looked at Caesar, who was leisurely drinking juice on the side, and all kinds of beasts rushed by in his heart.
Leah thought for a moment and nodded, as she returned her gaze to the location of the fourth box of Ding and the others.
"Actually, this lot belongs to me, but I don't know if you can come up with a treasure that impresses me. ”
"Is this Holy Rank Fighting Technique actually Miss Lia's?"
"Miss Liya is really not distressed, she actually took out such a fighting skill for auction. ”
Everyone had a hint of surprise, and continued to follow the progress of the situation with the attitude of watching the play.
The people in the hall were waiting for an answer from the other side, but the other side was quiet again, and could not give an answer for a long time.
After a long time, I saw a figure hurriedly appear in front of everyone, it was Li who was sweating profusely.
Originally, such a distance would not make him sweat like this as a swordsman, but the tension in his heart was difficult to hide. Seeing the beauty in front of him getting closer and closer, his heart was also "banging", as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
When he finally stood in front of her, he was hesitant, and it took a long time to convey the words that needed to be conveyed:
"The guest wants to invite you to the box for a personal discussion. ”
Leah didn't think about it for too long, nodded, and motioned for Lee to lead the way.
Li didn't even dare to take a few more glances at this beautiful figure, for fear that she would leave an indelible shadow in her heart, so that she would not think about tea and food all day long.
In the box, Caesar put on the cloak that he had prepared, he pressed the hood very low, covered his gray hair, and hid his face in shadow, taking advantage of the original darkness of the box to make it difficult for others to see his true face.
Footsteps rang out outside the door, the door slowly pushed open, and a faint scent of Caesar's nose ran through it, like a pair of hands gently brushing the tip of his nose.
The fiery figure appeared in front of him.
