Chapter 60: Hidden Treasure
"Didn't he hold the auction?" Lei Ming said dumbly, the corner of his mouth twitched.
As soon as he finished speaking, Evan walked up with a gavel in his hand. Standing in front of the stage, he glanced at everyone and slowly introduced the first auction item. "This is the boot used by the current king, Newgate XXII, the starting price is 1 gold coin, and each increase is not less than 1 silver coin, start. β
"It's like this every time, I bought 2 gold coins, hurry up and auction the following items. An impatient voice came from Box Three. "What are you hesitating about? Dead fatty, you should hurry up!"
"The first time, the second time, these are the king's boots, and no one has raised the price? Evan didn't hesitate to drop the hammer. "Now it's the second item, a delicate piece of chain mail, which not only protects you from wearing, but also graceful. The starting price is 10 gold coins, and the price increase is not less than 1 gold coin each time. β
"20 gold coins, I bought it. β
"30, gold coins. β
One by one, the items were brought up, and at first Lei Ming looked at it with interest, but gradually found that there was nothing worth photographing, and the surname Suo sat on the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.
"My lord, there seems to be a list of auction items here. Fafer wiped the lip prints from his face and took out a document and handed it over.
Lei Ming rolled his eyes, raised his hand to take it, and looked at it. There are hundreds of auction items on it, and most of them are marked with low prices. Looking at them all, two items caught his attention. One is a pearl bracelet and the other is a sapphire necklace. These two pieces of jewelry are attractive in terms of workmanship and style, and the price is affordable.
"My lord, can you take a picture of this sapphire necklace for me?" Fafer said embarrassedly as he blocked the maid's kiss and touched the back of his head.
"To the beautiful widow, there's nothing to be ashamed of, if you really like it, I'll officiate your wedding myself when you return to the realm." Lei Ming smiled and said solemnly.
Fafer thought for a moment, nodded seriously, and said gratefully: "Thank you, my lord." β
"The auction now begins for the fortieth item, the pearl bracelet. This item is made by a famous master, and the workmanship is exquisite, and if you give it to a beautiful lady, you are sure to win the hearts of the other party. The starting price is 10,000 gold coins, and each increase is not less than 1,000 gold coins. Evan hammered the table.
"Twenty thousand gold coins, I, Count Achill, asked for it. On a chair in the center of the hall, Archer stood up and shouted.
"Thirty thousand gold coins, please can you sit down. The scene froze, and there was a burst of laughter.
Lei Ming saw that it was almost over, beckoned, and the twin sister stood up willingly, and shouted crisply: "Fifty thousand gold coins." β
"Box 45 bids 50,000 gold coins, does anyone else bid? 50,000 gold coins once, 50,000 gold coins twice, 50,000 gold coins for the third time. "The gavel is raised high, and it is about to fall.
"Wait, I'll give out 60,000 gold coins. A voice came from Box 9, causing an exclamation.
Although this pearl necklace is exquisitely made and made by a master, it is worth 30,000 gold coins at most, and 50,000 gold coins has exceeded a lot, and now someone has even bid 60,000 gold coins. After a long time, many nobles have moved their minds, whether to take out one for auction next time.
"Hebrew. Lei Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of cold light flashed away. The box numbers are arranged according to the rank of the fiefdom nobles, and you can tell who it is at a glance. "Seventy thousand gold coins, if the price is increased again, I will give it to you. β
Hebrew opened his mouth, hesitated, and finally did not make a bid.
In a moment, the waitress knocked on the door and walked in with a pearl necklace. Lei Ming put it away after confirming that it was correct, and took out the wealth card to pay the bill. By the way, check the balance inside, there are about more than 60,000 gold coins.
He thought for a moment, stood up, and entered Box 44. Ignoring the hot scene in front of him, he said, "Lars, do me a favor and take a picture of the sapphire necklace." β
Lars looked up from the pile of women, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said vaguely: "Don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me." Oh, and don't forget to close the door when you go out. β
Lei Ming nodded and turned back to his box. Looking up, Evan was introducing the 46th item, the sapphire necklace.
"Sapphire necklace, the starting price is 40,000 gold coins, and the price increase is not less than 1,000 gold coins each time, let's start!" Amy said loudly as she glanced at everyone.
"My lord, if it's inconvenient, you don't need to buy it. Fafer said with a pretended ease.
"What kind of stupid words, will this Viscount be short of this gold coin?" Lei Ming waved his hand, listened attentively, and didn't hear Lars shouting for a long time, so he shook his head helplessly. "Fifty-five thousand gold coins. β
"60,000 gold coins. Hebrew's angry voice came, and he said gently: "Viscount Thunder, it's not interesting to increase the price a little." If you are short of gold coins, Earl Ben will not mind lending you a little. β
"70,000 gold coins, Lord Earl, don't you think it's naΓ―ve to do this at auction?" thunder sneered.
"100,000 gold coins. The Hebrew admonished earnestly: "Viscount Thunder, you are still young, and today I will teach you a truth." Strength is king, I have more gold than you, and I can easily suppress you. Therefore, young people should not be impulsive, and it is better to think about the consequences of some things. β
Lei Ming laughed angrily, is this a warning to himself?" "200,000 gold coins, thank you Lord Earl for your teachings, this viscount thought very clearly. β
The nobles in the hall looked at each other, and none of them took the initiative to speak, quietly watching the two fiefdom nobles fight. They wished that the two would fight, no matter who fell, the other party would give a part of the land as compensation, and this was the opportunity for ordinary nobles.
"Viscount Thunder bid 200,000 gold coins, does anyone offer a higher price? Evan dropped the hammer with all his might.
Thunder took the sapphire necklace and handed it to Farfrel. casually took out two fist-sized magic stones, and threw them on the maid's plate under the strange gaze of the other party. "Are these enough?"
"Enough... That's enough. The waitress stumbled and walked out of the box in a daze. Unexpectedly, she also encountered such a good thing, when the nobles were short of money, they would pay the bill with items of similar value. The excess is a waiter's tip by default, and these two magic stones are worth at least 210,000 gold coins.
"Your Excellency. Fafer stopped talking, his face flushed.
"Don't worry! I got these two magic stones occasionally. Lei Ming waved his hand and explained with a smile.
"Let's go to the auction of one last item. Evan forcefully lifted the red cloth from the plate, revealing a palm-sized object. He swept through the crowd and said impassionedly, "It has been determined that this is a treasure map made by the legendary hero who failed to lift the throne a thousand years ago, Aldrich Delen. Of course, it's just one of them. Without further ado, the starting price is 10 million gold coins, and the price increase is not less than 1 million each time, start. β

This will be the case for the rest of the year, so I won't make any special explanations. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to everyone, and I'm really sorry.
