Chapter 657: Borrowing Money

"Ding!"

"System Mission: Take a picture of the stone statue of the god in front of you!"

"Reward: 20 Power Points!"

If it weren't for the fact that it was too short to say and didn't fit the system's previous style quest prompts, Gervais would not have been interested in the statue.

Ever since Gervais came to the Sacred Continent, the system seemed to be in hiding and had no sense of existence.

Now he has taken the initiative to issue a task for this stone statue, although the task reward Gervais is no longer very eye-catching, but he still needs to choose carefully and carefully.

So Gervais turned his attention to the auction room,

As Rakchi said earlier, although the stone statue was only 5,000 gold coins, there was still no one in the audience to bid at this time.

The rules of this otherworldly auction are that if no one bids for about two minutes, then the lot will be sold and the next lot will be auctioned.

Gervais calculated that there was still more than half a minute left, and if no one spoke again, then he was ready to bid.

Although he doesn't have any gold coins now, he can borrow 5,000 gold coins from Adella in Harry's face later.

As for Rakhi, if it was 500 gold coins borrowed from Rakhi, it should be no problem, but he couldn't get 5,000 gold coins.

In this way, Gervais was about to open his mouth to make a bid, but suddenly heard someone in the audience speak first.

"I'll give out 5,100 gold coins!"

When Gervais heard the sound, he immediately looked in the direction where the sound came from, and found that the person who made the bid was sitting in the hall on the first floor, and this person should also be curious about the stone statue, and he chose to bid when he saw that there was no competition.

At this time, many people in the audience looked at the people who opened their mouths to bid like fools.

It's just that while they were watching the man's show, a second fool reappeared.

"I'll give out 5,300 gold coins!"

Knowing that he couldn't wait any longer, Gervais immediately opened his bid and added two hundred gold coins at once.

As Gervais's words spread, everyone moved away from the previous person and looked at the second fool in surprise.

As long as anyone who knows about this stone statue will not auction it again, and a few people who often participate in the auction of the sacred trading house also know that this stone statue has been auctioned two or three times, although the starting price is getting lower and lower, but it has never been auctioned off, but I didn't expect that two fools opened their bids in a row today.

"Harry, you're crazy! That's 5,300 gold coins! ”

Hearing the sound of the auction coming from his side, Rage turned and looked at Gervais with wide eyes.

He was just worried that Harry would be interested in this stone statue because of the deeds of the Golden Shield family, so he finally said a lot of negative teaching materials and gave him another advice.

But I didn't expect to stop Harry yet!

At the same time, Adella also saw Gervais and Ratchey, and when she saw that the second bidder turned out to be Gervais, she immediately showed a strange look in her eyes.

"Your Excellency the Magician has bid 5,300 gold coins, is there anyone else who wants to increase the price?"

"5,300 gold coins for the first time!"

"5,300 gold coins for the second time!"

"5,300 gold coins for the second time!"

Bang!

"Congratulations to the magician at position 56 for auctioning this stone statue for 5,300 gold coins!"

The first person to open the bid before only saw that no one was bidding at the scene, and thought about buying this stone statue for more than 5,000 gold coins to study and gamble on luck.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Gervais added 200 gold coins, as if he was determined to get the stone statue, so he naturally did not continue to offer.

When the third hammer in the host's hand fell, the stone statue was auctioned by Gervais for 5,300 gold coins.

"Rakhi, when the attendants bring that lot later, you tell them to wait for a while, and I'll go to Adele to borrow some money!"

Seeing that the two attendants had already carried the statue of the god down the platform and headed towards him, Gervais immediately whispered to Ratche.

"Harry, you ......"

Ratchey, who had been distressed by Gervais's 5,300 gold coins, heard that Harry even needed to borrow the gold coins from Adella to pay for the stone statue, and his tone suddenly froze, and he didn't know what to say.

"I'm leaving!"

Naturally, Gervais couldn't tell himself the real reason for taking pictures of the statue of the god, so he didn't explain much, and said to Lackey again, and Gervais went directly to Adele's seat.

"Adella!"

Since they were on the same floor, Gervais only walked a few steps to where Adella was, and shouted at her in a low voice.

Adella had been looking at Gervais earlier, and naturally saw Gervais coming towards her.

Although he was a little puzzled as to how Harry's classmate was walking towards him, he smiled at Gervais.

"Harry, I didn't expect you to come to the auction too, do you have something to do with me?"

"That's like this, Adella, I just took a picture of that stone statue, but I don't have so many gold coins now, so I want to borrow 5,300 gold coins from you, don't worry, I will definitely pay you back within three days."

"Yikes! You don't have a gold coin to take a picture of that stone statue! ”

Rao is that Adella is very familiar with Gervais, and she can't help but be surprised by his operation.

What kind of mentality could have to do such a thing was different from the impression Harry had given her in the past.

At this time, Edward finally looked at Gervais carefully.

In Waddington's report these days, it is this student named Harry who has the closest contact with Adella, but this Harry is only a trainee magician a few days ago, so naturally it cannot be the person who configures the potion.

At this time, Edward was thoughtful to hear that he had photographed something and later asked his granddaughter to borrow gold coins.

Because Gervais did this, either he saw something special about the statue, or he was a man who had no heart or lungs to dream.

It's just that judging from Wadding's words, this person named Harry who dared to face hundreds of orcs alone should not be the kind of person who is not firm in mind and wants to gamble his luck with the stone statue.

It didn't make sense if it was the other one, because even he didn't see anything strange about the stone statue, so he didn't believe that the junior magician in front of him could see it.

"I've seen Duke Edward!"

Gervais saw that Adella's grandfather also looked over, and the horse shouted respectfully.

He and Adela are friends, so even if Edward is his elder, Gervais is naturally very polite.

"Well, you're Adella's classmate, right? I'll lend you 5,300 gold coins! Come and sit down later! ”

Hearing Gervais's greeting, Edward spoke in a flat tone.

Gervais didn't understand what Edward meant, why he would ask to borrow his gold coins, and was thinking about whether to agree, but Adele did.

"Grandfather, Harry is borrowing money from me, so I'm here to lend it to him!"

Adella heard her grandfather's words, and although she didn't know what he meant, she saw Harry's hesitation, and immediately spoke.

"Haha! Ok, good, good! Adella you borrow! ”

Edward listened to Adella's words and immediately laughed, but did not refute.

He didn't mean much, he just wanted the young man named Harry to come over and sit down for a while and take a closer look for himself, after all, this was the only young man he had ever seen closest to Adella.

As for borrowing gold coins, he knew that with his granddaughter's character, a friend who had been approved by her asked her to borrow money, not to mention five thousand gold coins, it was estimated that it was ten thousand gold coins, as long as there was a legitimate reason, she would lend it.

So he just used the topic of borrowing money to ask Harry to come and sit down later.

"Thank you, Duke Edward, I'll come over after I finish paying the gold coins!"

"Thank you, Adella!"

Although he didn't understand Edward's intentions, Gervais naturally couldn't refuse the invitation made by his parents, and finally agreed.

"Harry, it's 5,300 gold coins, you're done!"

At this time, Adella had also taken out a small wooden treasure chest and three small black money bags from the space ring, and then placed them all in front of Gervais.

"Sure enough, it's a little rich woman!"

Seeing the small treasure chest on the ground, Gervais immediately remembered the scene of the first time he saw Lolita.

At the beginning, Lolita took out several piles of gems from the storage space and used them as stones to break the magic array, and at this time, Adella actually had the same idea!

Silently holding the small wooden box and three small money bags, Gervais left Adella's place under the strange gazes of the people around him.

Returning to his original position, Gervais saw that two attendants of the Holy Merchant House were already waiting with trays containing stone statues.

Gervais didn't say much, checked that the stone statue was no different from before, and directly handed the small wooden box and the three money bags to the two attendants.

After the two attendants left, Gervais carefully examined the statue of the god in his hand, and Rage also twitched it for a moment, but in the end he found nothing strange and withdrew his gaze.

There is nothing unusual about this statue in your hand, it is no different from an ordinary stone sculpture.

I don't know if it's because of the breath of the gods, but this statue of the gods is very complete, and there are not even any traces of weathering.

As for whether this statue will be a fake or not, not to mention that the system has already given a hint, it is the credibility of the Holy Merchant House itself that can make everyone believe that it must have come from some ruin in the Godfall Land.

And the reason why Gervais wanted to check it before was because he was worried about whether he would be dropped by others along the way.

"The statue's armor is so beautiful, well, it looks like a spear on its back, which is quite rare!?"

The face of the statue of the god is a handsome middle-aged man, with a clear and delicately carved armor texture, and a stabbing spear on his back.

In this otherworld, most of the knights with titles that Gervais has seen are armed with swords, and only use bayonets unless they are cavalry.

So when the nobles made their own statues or paintings, most of the time they wore a long sword around their waists, but this god did not see a long sword at his waist, and the only thing he had was a spear tied to his back, and it was a spear that could be divided into two parts.

Strange to strange, after looking at it for a moment and finding nothing else peculiar, Gervais immediately put it in his sleeve in a fake appearance, but in fact put it in the space ring.

"Ruche, Duke Edward said earlier that I should go and sit with him for a while, do you want to go with you?"

"Huh? I'll forget it! ”

Rage was surprised to hear Gervais's question, and was surprised that Edward had invited Harry to sit down.

He actually wanted to go over too, after all, Adella was there.

But thinking of Duke Edward's presence, Rage wisely chose to stay away.

"Okay, then I'll go first!"

Seeing that Rage was not going to go, Gervais said goodbye to Lage, and then walked towards Adella again.
