"The starting price, one gold coin!"

Although this price is not the final transaction price, and the quality of this gem put up for auction is indeed not very practical, in any case, it is still a brilliant gem at the sixth order, and using this number as the starting price is more or less charitable.

In fact, in Lynn's observation, the auction held by Yin Nock was not much different from charity.

After several rounds of bidding, the gem was finally sold for 1,200 gold coins.

This figure is not an exaggeration to say that it is given away for nothing, because these people may spend a dozen or even dozens of one thousand two for a dinner party.

After the auction of many items, Lynn found that this auction actually had a certain pattern.

Whatever is put up for auction, no matter how much it is sold, it will eventually fall into the hands of the first bidder.

It's just that this seemingly regular speculation was interrupted when another auction item was brought up.

The auctioneer held up a rusty crown and smiled.

"After special identification, this crown comes from the former glory of the Laiyin region - the Kingdom of Norton."

"The history of the Norton Kingdom dates back to seven or eight hundred years ago, and although its existence has only been for a short period of more than a hundred years, its territory is far larger and more glorious than that of the current Laiyin."

"And the former owner of this crown was the first king of the Kingdom of Norton - Hamp Norton."

When the auctioneer's voice fell, there was a sudden silence in the room, and then an irrepressible whisper broke out.

"Actually....... Is it? ”

In the corner, Hearst stared at the rusty crown, his voice uncontrollable in shock.

He turned his head reluctantly and looked at the man beside him: "You actually ........ Can you even get this kind of thing? ”

Not only him, but even Corina's gaze fell uncontrollably on Yinnock.

For the two noble children to show such expressions, it is obvious that what this crown represents is by no means as rusty as its surface.

And that's exactly what happened.

The land under their feet was a gathering place for human beings a long time ago, and because there was a clear and transparent river that ran through the east and west, the humans at that time named it "Laiyin".

The Laiyin region has a long history, and it was also one of the key areas when the [Eternal Emperor] established the Human Empire, but with the passage of time, the power of the empire gradually declined, and the ability to control the surrounding areas began to weaken.

But an empire is an empire after all, and no matter how good the feng shui is, it is only a powerful side, and it is impossible to deal with the empire from anywhere.

Therefore, independence was quickly suppressed.

However, as soon as this kind of thing sprouts together, it is bound to spread like a prairie fire.

Although one side was suppressed, it didn't take long for the forces of the other side to emerge.

Because the background of the Laiyin region is indeed excellent, the people with the ability are stubble after stubble, and the conflict is also repeated again and again, and when they all point the finger at the same target, even the ancient empire is a little difficult to resist.

So, the empire came up with a solution.

The empire will not forcibly intervene in internal affairs, but occasionally send an inspection team to check whether the belief in the goddess of starlight is loyal, and it will need to pay taxes every year, etc.

This was actually a rather harsh treaty, but it could not stand the fact that most people in the Laiyin region were already fantasizing about a better life after independence, so they easily agreed to it.

But in fact, the things that greet Yin are not beautiful.

Since it's a kingdom, there must be a king, right?

So, who will be the king?

As a result, even more intense fighting swept through the entire Laiyin region, and even spread to other regions.

During this time, all kinds of large and small principalities emerged one after another, and the pseudo-kingdoms known as the xx kingdom were countless, and the centuries-long war almost destroyed the former Laiyin, until a man named Hamp Norton appeared.

There are many legends about this Sir Norton, but only one is the most famous.

It is said that when Lord Norton raised his army, he was immediately besieged by several surrounding forces, threatening to erase any existence that might upset the balance.

Sir Norton, however, was not at all alarmed.

On a rainy night, he led hundreds of his own soldiers to engage his opponents in a valley.

Before he stood up, he brought himself a crown without any jewels or ornaments, and then said a simple word to the warriors.

"I will be the king."

He rode his horse and took the lead in meeting the enemy cavalry.

Then, he won that war.

Then, with the crown he had made for himself, he won every war and truly became the king of the kingdom.

Although Hamp Norton died peacefully on a rainy night without enjoying too many kingly rights, there are so many legends in his undefeated life that people may go, but legends will live on forever.

One of the most popular is the story of the crown.

It is said that at the time of his coronation, King Norton still wore the crown of his own making, and received the blessings of the gods.

And that crown has thus become a special item that has been given traits by the gods.

"The one who gets it will become the master of Laiyin."

Corina whispered the rumor, her pretty eyes tinged with surprise.

"You don't have this kind of thing in your own hands, but take it and give it to others?"

"I took it out, naturally I have my reasons." Yin Nuoke said nonchalantly, "Equivalent exchange is the only truth in alchemy, isn't it?" ”

Corina was even more shocked: "Equivalent exchange? How can it be? What is it that has the value to match this tiara? ”

"Naturally, it is impossible to match." Anock shrugged, "That's a lot more valuable than this thing." ”

“.......”

Corina opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Next to her, Hearst's mask-wearing face was even more silly.

Maybe it's because of the brother and sister, and at this time the same thought suddenly rose in their hearts.

"What does he want?"

Yin Nok obviously won't explain this question to them, and naturally they can't take the initiative to ask.

After thinking about it, Corina changed the subject.

"Anyway...... Who could possibly photograph it? ”

Hearst also chimed in: "It's been so long, and it seems that no one has bid yet." ”

"Normal." Yin Noke spread his hands, "Human nature is greedy, they hold a gold coin, they will definitely want ten, a hundred, but when ten million gold coins appear in front of them, even if they are greedy, they have to think about the consequences of taking these gold coins first." ”

"Although 2300% of the profit can make people challenge the guillotine, and this crown represents tens of thousands, but it is something that can only be obtained after the transaction is completed. Before they can reap the profits, they have to pay the corresponding 'costs'. ”

"It's not something they can afford. And the fear that rises in their hearts will also make them choose to be content with the status quo. ”

Hearst scratched his head, put away his desire to bid, and whispered, "Then, it won't be auctioned, right?" ”

"Unsold?" Yin Nok smiled, "It's not impossible. ”

"At the auctions I held, the final destination of each item was determined. This tiara was also prepared in advance. ”

"However, preparation is preparation, but the choice of whether to want or not is not in my hands."

......

Looking at the tiara, Lynn squinted slightly.

After the auctioneer quoted the starting price of still one gold coin, this time, after a long time, no one bid.

Lynn didn't think that everyone present would think that the auctioneer's hand was a fake, but if she was too shocked to speak, it would be too long.

After such a long period of effort, even if it is a landslide and a crack, it is time to relax.

"This thing doesn't have a predetermined owner?" Lynn squinted and tapped her fingertips on the armrest, "No, it's not. ”

"Perhaps, it is the owner of the appointment, and there is no bid yet."

So, who will this person be?

After a moment, Lynn chuckled softly.

That's right, if you can't detect this, then the other party can find a good purpose for burying yourself in advance.

A person who has been crisscrossing Catalena for so long that the king of Laiyin has nothing to do with him, how can it be so simple to hide.

But.

Is this a temptation, or a provocation?

Lynn picked up the sign on the side and raised her hand.

"One gold coin."
