"Mr. Yinnock......."

Enoch's gaffe startled both Corina and Hirst, who couldn't quite understand why Mr. Earl, who had always been so composed, suddenly burst out at this moment.

"You ......."

"It's fine."

Yin Nok calmed himself under the cover of the mask, clapping his hands lightly, brushing away the crumbs of wood and cloth.

"Looks like I'm going to have to find a new merchant to buy a batch of chairs."

Finding himself a staircase with a light stroke, Yin Nock glanced at the back row again.

It's a pity that this time, the other party did not meet his eyes, but whispered something to the people around him.

Inexplicably, a nameless anger swelled up in Yin Nok's heart.

He was sure that the other party was not unaware of him, but that he didn't care at all.

To him, he is no different from anyone else.

Taking a deep breath, Yin Nok calmed down and squinted slightly.

"The tougher the bones, the clearer the sound when they break....... So, I hope you can keep your pride all the time. ”

"It's soft mud, but no one wants to step on it."

.......

After the auction of [Norton's tiara] ended, the liveliness of this auction dropped significantly by a notch.

Before, whether it was the auctioneer's passionate introduction, or the eager eyes behind everyone's masks, it showed that everyone's attention was focused on the auction itself.

But after the crown was thrown away and shattered, although the auctioneer still tried to use his words to turn everyone's attention back to the auction, unfortunately, everyone was more or less absent-minded.

If they could, they would have swarmed up without hesitation, pounced on the mysterious black robe in the back row, ripped off his mask with all their might, tore off his disguise, and cut open his chest and abdomen to see how bold he really was.

Lynn didn't care much about that.

If there were only one or two people present, he might have to pull out his sword to defend himself, but now he was in the crowd.

These nobles have too many things that violate "morality" or "etiquette" behind their backs, but in public, they like to deny others in order to show and maintain their superiority.

If someone really wants to come forward and ask Lynn about his identity, it will not be Lynn who will face trouble first, but will reprimand that person for not understanding "etiquette" - assuming they don't know who is behind it, of course.

Shaking his head, Lynn continued to look ahead.

There, the auctioneer had already completed another transaction, but this time, he did not bring up the next lot in the first place.

"The next thing to be auctioned is the last item of this auction."

The auctioneer smiled lightly: "Presumably, everyone should have heard of it, right?" ”

"Yes, it's a dragon's egg."

He clapped his hands gently.

In the next second, the lights of the whole audience quietly dimmed, and at the same time, in the center of the stage, a spotlight poured down from the top and landed in the center of the venue.

There, a bulge about one person tall and covered with a red cloth suddenly appeared.

The auctioneer stretched out his hand, placed it on the red cloth, and then gently pulled it.

"Whoa—"

The red cloth fell, and all the items in it were displayed in the eyes of everyone.

Covered with a red cloth, a jar that is very common in an alchemy workshop, but the contents in it are not simple to see with the naked eye.

In the midst of this, egg-shaped dragon eggs are safely soaked in a transparent liquid, and the surface of each part is revealing a little strange starlight, which is sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and it is very unstable.

"According to the speculation of the special person, the time when this dragon egg will break should be in the near future." The auctioneer crossed his fingers and smiled lightly, "Of course, this 'soon' is definitely not an uncertain signifier. ”

"It is estimated that it will be able to come to this new world in less than a month at most, and will welcome the first opening of the new world and dedicate it to its future master."

By the time the auctioneer described it, there were already quite a few people in the room who were already getting ready to move.

Almost all of them touched the sign next to them, ready to go, and as soon as the auctioneer gave the order, they would quote the price that had already been prepared.

"Looks like everyone can't wait."

The auctioneer didn't delay much, just picked up the hammer and tapped it gently.

"The auction of the last item is still according to the usual rules - the highest bidder wins."

"Now, about the auction of dragon eggs, start now."

"Bang-"

"One hundred thousand!"

"One hundred and thirty thousand!"

"One hundred and forty-three thousand!

”

At the same moment that the auction hammer fell, a string of shouts broke out from the audience.

Almost instantly, the price of dragon eggs soared to 252,000.

More than 250,000 gold coins are a lot of money, even in Catalena.

Because the average monthly salary of ordinary people here is only about three gold coins.

For ordinary people, 250,000 gold coins, even if they don't eat or drink, they can't save half of 250,000 if they start working at the same time as the rise of human beings.

This amount is not an exaggeration to say that it is astronomical.

And in fact, even for the aristocracy, this price is not a lot.

The nobleman who shouted this price, after the price was called, clenched his fists, and kept wiping his sweat from his mask with a handkerchief, showing his flesh pain all the time.

If you are a wealthy nobleman, it is not particularly difficult for the family to have assets of more than one million gold coins, but the so-called assets only mean that they can be counted in the property, and they are not necessarily the existence that can be moved.

It's like renovating a house, you can tear it down anywhere, and the load-bearing walls and columns, as well as the foundation, etc., can't be moved under any circumstances.

Therefore, when the price soared to 250,000, its increase quietly slowed down.

After all, everyone knows that the price may be nearly 300,000 or a little more, but what you really need to invest is definitely more than that, and it is even likely to be just the beginning.

The temptation to become the master is great, but the cost is completely enough to bankrupt most of the people present.

In the back row, Lynn rubbed the armrests of the table and chair, silently observing the shouting below.

He did not participate in the auction, but listened carefully to everyone's offers.

Among these voices, he more or less found some more peculiar accents.

As the saying goes, the accents of people in each region, and even in two adjacent villages, may be very different, and they can't understand each other's intonation, but among these nobles, they pay great attention to the cultivation of "accents".

How can we Catalina people mix with people from other places?

And these special accents are obviously characteristic of other places.

For example, the kingdom next door.

With such a stark distinction, Lynn seemed to be playing the simplest of ways to find the difference, immediately discerning many people who definitely didn't belong in Catalina.

He hadn't forgotten what he was here for.

Noting down the location and characteristics of those people, Lynn tapped the armrest lightly, and was about to make a move, but his arm was suddenly pulled by the person next to him.

Alyssa Alyssa didn't look at him, her eyes still fell on the stage, and her voice was calm: "Help me shout." ”

"Bidding?" Lynn was slightly stunned.

As a person who has learned all aspects of the aristocracy, he is very familiar with one of the "shopping" methods of the nobles - "I have come to you to buy things in person, do I still have to pay?" ”

After thinking about it, Lynn said: "If you shout, there shouldn't be much need, because later, there may be no chance to pay......."

"I'm not going to pay them." Alyssa glanced at him, "This is your payment." ”

"If you ask someone for help, you naturally need to pay them accordingly - this should be one of the common sense, right?"

“.......”

Common sense is common sense, but .......

"Worried I won't be able to pay?" Alyssa said softly, "Although I can't pay too many gold coins at once, if I return it on time, it will definitely not be too much of a problem." ”

"For me, it's easier to pay off what I owe than it is to save more."

Lynn thought about it and felt that what the other party said really made sense.

For people like Alyssa who take research as the destination, once they have funds, they will be eager to spend them on their own research immediately, and under the condition of ensuring a certain bottom line, the more money may not represent the upgrade of quality, but the increase of quantity.

After all, there are few experiments that will not fail.

The so-called repayment of money may be something that buys a few fewer materials and has a slightly less fault tolerance.

Tilting his head slightly, staring at the other party's pure black eyes, Lynn didn't say anything, only touched the sign and held it high.

"500,000 gold coins."

Alyssa's indifferent face gradually stiffened slightly.
