514 "Return to Zhao"
514 "Return to Zhao"
The meaning of this is to imply that the identity of the person who consigned Dani from the Holy See is very unusual. Think about it, the only heir of the second great family of the empire in the past, if the Lord of the Holy See didn't have an extraordinary status, how could he be so bold to take this woman to the underground auction house to sell?
The hearts of the nobles who had been active were warm again.
The middle-aged nobleman touched his mustache, and finally raised his hand again and shouted: "Twenty-five thousand gold coins...... This time he also spared no expense.
The fat merchant looked at the middle-aged nobleman, and then at Cintillella on Taxiu's side, his eyes flickered, after thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth, stretched out three fingers and shouted fiercely: "I will give 30,000" This is close to the bottom line in his heart, even if it is to please the adults in the Holy See, 30,000 gold coins have already been taken, if it is higher, it is better to donate it directly to the Holy See, and it can still be valued.
Cintillella glanced at Ta Xiu and saw that he didn't react, so she raised her hand and said coldly: "Thirty thousand five" She narrowed her eyes and gently licked the corners of her lips with a charming attitude: Heh, it feels so good to spend other people's money casually
"Damn" The fat businessman's eyes were red, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, he glared at Cettirela and gasped, and said with difficulty: "I'm out ...... Thirty-six thousand"
The middle-aged nobleman sitting next to him repeatedly touched his mustache, a flash of struggle flashed on his face, and he reached out with some hesitation and tried to shout: "Thirty-seven thousand gold coins." ”
"Forty-two thousand. "Cintilre's ramen is a cold offer that does not change color.
"Sizzle" Everyone present secretly gasped, and it was a great merit to donate 42,000 gold coins to any church in the Holy See. It will definitely be valued by the bishop of the church, and it is necessary to shout so hard in the underground auction hall?
Not to mention the others, even Taxiu's face was a little ...... Twitch. 42,000 gold coins, just piled up are a lot of piles, and they can kill people if they are smashed
The fat businessman glared at Cettirela with an unwilling look, but after struggling for a long time, he finally gave up. This kind of price has exceeded his psychological expectations, he is a businessman, there is no need to fight with this kind of stunned young man in the auction room.
On the contrary, the low-key middle-aged aristocrat on the side shaved his mustache violently, a touch of ruthlessness surged on his face, and he clenched his fists and said, "I'll give forty-five ...... I don't think anyone is arguing with me, right?" his somewhat grim eyes glanced at Tasho and Cintillella, the threat of which was self-evident.
However, Cettirela seemed to have completely entered the role, and the bidding shouted very excitedly, and shouted without thinking: "Fifty thousand gold coins." ”
The entire auction hall was dumb, and everyone could see that the people at this table were on the bar with everyone, no matter who shouted the price, they raised the price by five thousand in one go
It's not that the people here don't have money, and more expensive goods with hundreds of thousands of gold coins are very common in underground auction houses, but it also depends on what the goods are, and whether they are worth the price? Although the woman in front of her is good, according to the valuation of the nobles in their hearts, it is more than 40,000 gold coins......
One difference between aristocrats and ordinary people is that they who are well educated are rarely as aggressive as ordinary people. The family that has gone through all kinds of turmoil would have been swallowed up long ago if they didn't have the ability to endure at all.
Anyway, it's just a woman, so what about you? I'll check the details of the people at this table later, and I'll have a chance to find the field again next time. Most of the nobles here thought so in their hearts.
Eventually, Cettirela overwhelmed the rest of the room with her momentum and bought Dani. However, when she turned her head to look at Ta Xiu diligently, she found that Ta Xiu's expression was very bitter, as if she had swallowed a bitter snake fruit.
"What's wrong with you? I'm not happy that I bought the person you want?" asked Cyntilella, puzzled.
Ta Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "How happy do you want me to be...... All the money I have on me adds up to only 46,000 gold coins......"
Cyntilella's expression was stunned, and then she grabbed Taxiu's arm with one hand and said fiercely: "I don't care, I can't miss the honorarium promised to the old lady." ”
"You money fan" Cliff was very angry on the side, blaming this woman for shouting and asking for the price, and now she still has the face to raise the honorarium.
At this time, the auctioneer sent a waiter to the table of Taxiu and asked politely, "May I ask which gentleman paid for the auction just now?
Ta Xiu rolled his eyes helplessly, stood up and touched his forehead and said, "I'll go with you." As he spoke, he turned his head and stared at Cliff, Worm, and Cyntilella, "Stay here and don't get into trouble." ”
Led by the attendant, Taxiu followed him to a room in the backstage of the auction house, which also appeared to be a spacious hall with some simple but extremely luxurious tables and chairs of golden nanmu, and on the other side of the hall the door was ajar, and there seemed to be a long corridor where some people in cloaks were gathered.
"Those are the big names of the Holy See, don't look at it, let's pay the money quickly. A young man sitting at a long table, dressed in an evening gown, playing with a quill in his hand, smiled at Tahew and said, "After paying the money, hey, sign here, we will confirm and seal it in the store, and then the 'product' will be yours." ”
The young man smiled very ambiguously: "Don't worry, this business weapon is absolutely perfect, and we haven't touched it yet." ”
Ta Xiu suppressed the anger in his heart and said slowly: "That's the case, the cash on my body is only 46,000 gold coins...... But I have some high-level Warcraft crystal nuclei, can I discount the price?" "There is indeed only so much cash, this is already the last belongings, and I was originally going to keep the tuition fees of the academy, as well as the materials for buying alchemy materials and the crafting materials of the seal card.
The quill pen that the young man was spinning suddenly stopped, looked at Ta Xiu with a strange expression, and said for a long time: "I...... It's the first time we've heard this kind of request after we've been in business for so long," he shook his head with a wry smile, "If it's our own products, we can still negotiate, but ...... Count me as kind and help you ask those big guys...... Alas. He shook his head as he beckoned a waiter to whisper a few words in his ear. The waiter nodded, and immediately walked towards the clergymen in cloaks behind the door.
"It's not what it means to see these big guys. The young man shrugged his shoulders and smiled irreverently at the corners of his lips. Listening to his tone, he is not too respectful of these "big guys".
The waiter led a clergyman in a cloak. Tasius took a look and saw that the emblem on the white priest's robe under the cloak was actually the metropolitan, a powerful figure in a regional church.
The positions of the Holy See of Light from low to high are clergy, priests, bishops, metropolitans, archbishops, cardinal archbishops, and popes. When you are a bishop, you can take charge of a church, and when you go to a metropolitan, you can run the church of a district, the archbishop is the branch of the Holy See that can control a city, and the cardinal archbishop is the ecclesiastical power that divides the province, and finally the pope is the most powerful and legendary to the existence of the God of Light.
The Metropolitan who can establish himself in the royal city of Trenburg in the Empire of Light is already extraordinary. That's the power of the Holy See that controls a district of Tronsburg. The entire royal city would not have more than one hand of a metropolitan like this.
Sure enough, it's some big shots
Taxiu frowned secretly.
"What's the problem?" the metropolitan looked graying by his age, and was estimated to be no less than sixty years old. His voice was very stern, and as soon as he came up, he asked, "The money hasn't been paid yet?"
"Something went wrong. The young man behind the long table spread his hands very indifferently: "This customer who bids for the goods said that he does not have enough cash and is willing to use some of the crystal nuclei of the Warcraft to discount, you see?"
"Ridiculous" the Metropolitan retorted unceremoniously, "We are all God's people, what's the use of asking for the crystal nuclei of those demonic beasts?" The people of the Holy See of Light have always believed in the magic of the light element and the fighting spirit of the light, and believe that this is the greatest power given by the God of Light, and they don't look down on the miscellaneous fighting spirit of the Walter Empire, not to mention what kind of Warcraft crystal nucleus, for these people it is of no use at all, if you want to exchange money, you have to take it outside the Bright Empire, or go to the Mercenary Guild or the Adventurer Guild to try if you can exchange it, so troublesome, where is a person like the Metropolitan Patriarch willing to do it.
Ta Xiu secretly slandered: The Demon Beast Crystal Nucleus is useless to the people of, then what is the use of you asking for gold coins?
Although he was slandered in his heart, Ta Xiu had to pretend to be a smile on the surface and said: "In fact, there is only a few thousand gold coins missing, and I am willing to exchange this money for a double value of the Warcraft crystal nucleus, what do you think?"
"Hmph, no money?" the metropolitan glanced at Taxiu coldly: "If you really don't have any money, forget it, our Holy See won't miss your money......
Ta Xiu was a little surprised: "That means you don't want the thousands of gold coins missing?"
"Dreaming" the Metropolitan almost sprayed his face, rolled up his sleeves and shook it in front of Taxiu's eyes with his thin arm: "Money is not a problem, but the dignity of our Holy See cannot be despised for money, and it is as much as it is when it is photographed." If you don't have the money...... Hum. He sneered: "It's a big deal to re-auction it." ”
"Hey" Ta Xiu's eyes narrowed, and he forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart: "This is not good...... I'm already willing to pay the highest price, and the others are not as high as me? Why don't you give me some time, and I can get the money together......"
While the argument was raging, another man came from a group of clergymen in cloaks on the other side of the corridor and approached the Metropolitan and whispered a few words.
Ta Xiu faintly heard the "Divine Son" or something, but the voice was too low to hear the specifics at all.
The Metropolitan Patriarch's face changed instantly, and he straightened his expression, glanced at Taxiu and the young man behind the long table, and said in a serious voice: "I'm sorry, let's finish this auction, let's take the people back." ”
"What?" Taxiu asked in surprise. The young man behind the long table was unimpressed: "Is it just a lost shot?" ”
"It's no problem," Taxiu was a little anxious, but the cold eyes that the Metropolitan and the young man threw at him at the same time made him calm down instantly. This is the Empire of Light, does he have to confront the underground forces of the entire Bright Sect and the nobles alone?
He fell silent, watching the young man continue to lean on the stool and play with the quill in his hand, and watched the two clergymen in cloaks turn to leave, and once again spoke: "I really want to buy that woman, please tell me how I can do it." ”
"Hehe......" The Metropolitan sneered and turned his face to look at him and said, "If you really want it, go to the Bright Tower to find someone." With that, he ignored Taxiu again, walked to the corridor with another priest, and left in a low-key manner with the other priests.
Leaning on Taxiu was very depressed, so he didn't notice that the young people around him who had been playing with their pens changed their always cynical expressions when they heard the words "Bright Tower", as if they had heard something terrible.
......
Taxiu walked out of the backstage of the auction hall, the underground auction continued, a lot of novel magic props, as well as some ancient antiques, ancient scrolls and utensils salvaged from shipwrecks on the seabed, etc., but these no longer aroused Taxiu's interest in the slightest, greeted Cliff and Worm, and left with them. Cyntilella naturally followed them like a tail.
The departure of Ta Xiu and his party caused a slight commotion, but the atmosphere of the auction was naturally not disturbed because of them, and it quickly returned to its due enthusiasm under the skillful control of the auctioneer.
However, if you look closely, you can still see that many people, including the middle-aged nobleman with the beard who was bidding with Ta Xiu, secretly told their subordinates to find out the origin of Ta Xiu.
As soon as Tassi, Cliff, and Worm walked out of the door of the underground auction hall, they were stopped by Cintillella, who came up from behind: "Hey, what about my reward" The female thief put her hands on the bee's waist, and her chin was proudly raised, not noticing that this posture made her breasts rise high.
Taxiu nodded, and without further ado, he took out a handful of gold coins, about twenty or thirty pieces, and stuffed them into Cintilla's hand.
Cliff, who was following Taxiu, saw this, glared, and asked strangely, "Boss, why did you give her so much? ”
"I promised to reward her when the business was done, so let's go. Taxiu waved his hand and left with Cliff and the worm.
Behind her, Cettirela stared at Tassi's back, a light flashing in her crescent-shaped eyes, a thoughtful expression.
With the alertness of Taxiu and Worm, it was easy to find that someone was watching behind, and after confirming that it was the subordinates of those people in the underground auction house, Taxiu went around the city a few more times in line with the principle of making less trouble, and only after confirming that no one was following before taking Cliff and Worm back to the small courtyard of the hotel where he was resting.
