Florentino, the auctioneer, who was about to drop the hammer to announce the sale, keenly captured the sound from the VIP seat.

"From ...... A new offer in the VIP seat, three hundred and one gold coins! ”

After a slight pause, he repeated the number spoken by the cold female voice.

And the people in the VIP seats turned their playful eyes to Joseph Conrad, whose face was a little ugly.

At this time, the bidders who jumped out and intervened were probably having some time with the young nobles from the countryside.

Most of them have a good show today.

Joseph Conrad, who didn't expect someone to come out at the moment before the hammer fell, took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, and looked at himself with interest around him, and the wife of the head of the court who reacted next showed a smile that she thought was impeccable:

"Don't worry, ma'am, I can still handle this little scene, four hundred gold coins."

"A quote from Mr. Baron Joseph Conrad! Four hundred gold coins! ”

Auctioneer Florentino was secretly happy.

Bidders are happy to bid each other up, because the proportional yield of the two depends on the final price of the lot, and the higher the price, the more commission they receive, and he wants Joseph Conrad to die with the bidder he cannot identify.

"Four hundred and one gold coins."

The young girl spoke tepidly again.

"Five hundred gold coins."

The young nobleman who gritted his teeth and said this new offer looked in the direction of the damned spoiler, as if fire was about to erupt in his eyes.

He's having a hard time riding a tiger now.

The price of five hundred gold coins was far more than the value of the rough ruby itself.

But if he showed his timidity in front of the wife of the chief of the court on the side, the latter would introduce him to the upper circle of Portugalette......

"The latest quote from Mr. Baron Joseph Conrad, five hundred gold coins!"

The auctioneer, Florentino, repeated the offer from the young nobleman, while looking somewhat expectantly at the VIP seats.

"Five hundred gold coins...... Add another copper coin. ”

The offer caused an uproar in the auction hall.

In principle, there is no minimum markup for auctions at the auction houses affiliated with the Portugalette Exchange, and the bidder's regular markup is generally not less than one gold coin.

Add a copper coin...... Anyone can more or less detect that the owner of the cold female voice is deliberately unable to get along with Joseph Conrad.

The young nobleman, who was also aware, suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked beyond the rows of seats to stare at the young girl who was bidding with him.

It had come to such a point that even a fool could tell that the young girl was deliberately having trouble with him.

Although the latter was tightly wrapped in cloth, he couldn't think of when he had offended such a person, who boasted of having a good memory.

"Six hundred...... gold coins. ”

After weighing the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth and said this final offer, if the other party still insisted on bidding, then he didn't ......

"An offer from Mr. Baron Joseph Conrad, six hundred gold coins at a time!"

"Six hundred gold coins twice!"

"Six hundred gold coins three times!"

"Deal!"

The corners of the eyes of the young aristocrat, who had already prepared to give up the bidding, twitched uncontrollably.

After taking a deep breath, he remembered the back of the young girl sitting in the front row of the VIP seat.

Let him spend an extra three hundred gold coins for no reason, how can there be a reason to pass it so easily......

After the first lot of rough rubies fetched a much higher than normal price, the following lots did not see a similar situation.

As for the people chatting and laughing at the VIP table, they don't care about these inconsequential hors d'oeuvres, most of them have a clear goal in this auction and generally don't focus on anything else.

"The next lot, a book from a ruin in Portugalette that an adventurer in Portugalette acquired."

"My fellow appraiser had considerable difficulty in deciphering the text, and the existing literature only allowed us to barely translate the reading of the title, which seems to be quite a linguistic ...... among the upper class nobility of the royal capital."

Then the auctioneer, Vernonantino, uttered the awkward and inexplicable title of the book, causing all the bidders present to frown.

What is the five-year college entrance examination three-year mock ...... What is the college entrance examination in five years? Why simulate for three years?

And the young girl in the VIP seat, who was all too familiar with the title of the book, involuntarily leaned forward and tried her best to open her eyes and look in the direction of the auction table.

The books on the auction table did not have the brightly colored covers she remembered, and they looked like ordinary parchment products from another world.

But those eight words alone were enough to make her determined to keep the book.

"Based on the limited information available at this time, my fellow appraisers probably surmised that the content of this book was most likely related to magic, and that most of the people who wrote it were some extremely powerful magician......"

"Books related to magic, five years of college entrance examination and three years of simulation, starting price, twenty gold coins."

"How dare you take out this kind of thing and be embarrassed?" Someone in the auction hall gloated and said, "I'm afraid that the people in the auction hall are not crazy about money." ”

"Twenty gold coins? It's almost the same as giving two copper coins as butt wiping paper. ”

"Next next, next down, don't waste the big guy's time."

Florentino, the auctioneer who heard the commotion below, looked quite embarrassed.

In fact, in his opinion, this five-year college entrance examination three-year simulation is not eligible to be listed as a lot in the autumn auction at all.

It just so happened that the father of the adventurer who got this book was a major shareholder behind the Portaugalette City Exchange...... And the person in charge of the auction house happened to have a good relationship with the major shareholder......

As a result, this five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation was added to the auction in the autumn auction, and Florentino was instructed by the person in charge before the auction began, saying that the price of this lot should not be too low under any circumstances, and if it was not possible, he would use the insiders hidden in the hall of the auction house to raise the price......

The so-called insiders, to put it bluntly, are the childcare of the auction house.

It's just that at the moment, no one in the auction hall cares about the reaction, if you really want to use the trust, I am afraid that the price will not be raised, but it is very likely that the lot will be smashed in the hands of the auction house itself.
