Seeing that there was still no offer for a long time, the somewhat anxious auctioneer Florentino, pretending to cough twice, took out a gray handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth, and sent a secret message to the auction house staff hidden in the hall disguised as ordinary bidders, signaling that if no one opened his mouth, he would pay the low price of twenty gold coins and buy the damn book.

From the entrustment of the person in charge of the auction house, he is a powerless auctioneer, even if he pastes the gold coins upside down, at least he has to fool the past......

When an inconspicuous thin young man in the auction hall wanted to open his mouth to quote the reserve price of twenty gold coins, he was preempted.

"Twenty gold coins."

The voice from the VIP seat could be heard from afar, it was still the young girl.

Florentino, the auctioneer who no longer had to pay for the book out of his own pocket, looked gratefully at the VIP seat.

"Books related to magic, five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation, quotations from the VIP seats, does anyone else need to bid?"

There was no answer in the auction hall, and most of the bidders were not willing to spend twenty gold coins on a broken book.

Originally, the very few people who wanted to try if they could hit the big luck gave up this idea after the young girl in the VIP seat opened her mouth.

Sure enough, it's still the aristocracy, the old men are stupid and have a lot of money.

Many bidders in the auction hall secretly said in their hearts.

In order to repay the favor of the guest who bid to relieve him, the auctioneer Florentino looked around the venue and found that there was no movement, and deliberately accelerated the speed of the hammer dropping slightly.

"Twenty gold coins third—"

"Twenty-one gold coins."

Moments before the hammer fell on the auctioneer Florentino, Joseph Conrad joined the bidding.

After the price was quoted, he sat up slightly straighter, and looked forward with a little provocative look over the seat of the VIP seat, expecting the girl who had caused him to overpay a few hundred gold coins to turn back angrily, bringing him great pleasure of revenge.

But the latter did not look back.

I saw that the young girl who was participating in the autumn auction of the Portugalette Exchange for the first time sat quietly in her place and opened her mouth to make her own response.

"A hundred gold coins."

Joseph Conrad, who was in an uproar and felt great pleasure for revenge, lazily quoted the next price:

"One hundred and one gold coins."

"Two hundred gold coins."

"Two hundred and one gold coins."

"Five hundred gold coins."

The woman was so crazy that a book that she couldn't even read clearly on her feet was priced for five hundred gold coins......

The young nobleman sneered in amazement.

Don't you like to raise the price with Baron Ben, then this time I will let you have a good memory.

"Five hundred gold coins and one copper coin."

"Dear Mr. Baron, as the auctioneer of this autumn auction, I would like to suggest that you should increase your price by no less than one gold coin next time."

Florentino, the auctioneer who was afraid that the two of them would compete in the VIP seat until the final scene was completely out of control, carefully reminded after considering the words.

"I'm just following the offer of the lady in front of me." The young nobleman shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "Is it also fashionable to treat your exchange auctions differently?" ”

"Not really, sir." The auctioneer smiled awkwardly, "It's just this kind of price increase......"

"Then continue this auction and don't waste the precious time of all of us here."

Florentino, who had no choice but to continue to preside over the auction, only hoped that the two VIPs in the VIP seat would spend the rest of the time peacefully and not fight at the auction.

"Six hundred gold coins."

"Six hundred gold coins and one copper coin."

"Seven hundred gold coins."

"Seven hundred gold coins and one copper coin."

"Eight hundred gold coins."

"Eight hundred gold coins and one copper coin."

The quotation of the two people in the VIP seat completely refreshed the cognition of all bidders in the auction hall.

Is this the way the nobles and lords are angry with each other, and they have to pay an extra hundred gold coins for a casual sentence......

After quoting eight hundred gold coins and one copper coin, Joseph Conrad was already vaguely uneasy.

Stripped of the six hundred gold coins he had paid for the rough ruby, the money he had prepared for the auction was not enough for him to pay the outrageous price.

The identity of the person who can sit in the best seat of the VIP seat is definitely not below him, not to mention that he has already made that girl who doesn't know what to do with it have a few hundred more gold coins, maybe he should stop there?

"Nine hundred gold coins."

After a moment of hesitation, Joseph Conrad resisted the intention of continuing to increase the price.

Judging from the seats in the VIP seats, the strength of the other party is probably above him, and if he really provokes the young girl who has no reason to get along with him, no one knows if it will have any unpredictable impact on his next plan in Portugalette.

Just as Joseph Conrad, with the pride of an overcomer and the pleasure of an avenger, leaned back in his soft chair with triumph, trying to draw closer to the bewitching lady beside him with a joke about the bastard child that had been prepared for a long time, the young girl in the front seat turned her head.

And then...... She raised her long, white middle finger.

As an otherworldly human, Joseph Conrad did not know the meaning of the real-world, universal gesture.

But the provocation and contempt in the eyes of the other party could not be faked in any way, so the young nobleman who understood the meaning of this gesture on his own suddenly turned gloomy.

Since you won't be able to go down the steps, you might as well let you have more blood.

If the other party really cares about him afterwards, or those children of big families that he can't deal with, he will go back to his father's fiefdom to avoid the limelight......

"A thousand gold coins."

"One thousand and one hundred."

"One thousand two."

"One thousand three."

In the end, the two didn't even bother to repeat the suffix, and each time they increased the price by a hundred gold coins.

"I remember that in the last autumn auction, there were less than fifteen lots at this price, right?"

When the auction price soared to a staggering 1,800 gold coins, someone in the front row of the VIP table whispered: "What a generous foreigner." ”

"I know the details of the youngest son of the Conrad family, and it is unlikely that he will be able to come up with 1,800 gold coins." The person next to him shook his head: "If you continue to be so angry, I'm afraid that one person will be quite embarrassed today." ”

"You mean that Conrad's youngest son will be embarrassed? But the cause is also the provocation of the other party......"

"The first time I came to participate in the autumn auction, I was able to sit in the same row as us, and I was the youngest son of the Conrad family who was trying to get into Portugalette's circle, and I would eat it silently on the spot if I paid a few hundred gold coins, and I didn't even know the details of the other party, so I didn't care about the reason for reciprocating."
