Chapter 161: Bidding Prefecture-level Mental Method (Asking for Recommendation)
Dusk, Chengdong Auction House.
The auction started at six o'clock, but an hour or two before the horse-drawn carriages began to gather here. Those who can come here are naturally people with faces. Therefore, the cars are more luxurious than the other, and the foals are racing and the horses are racing and the horses are super. Later, some ordinary, ornate carriages were even embarrassed to stop here.
Probably having taken this situation into account, the auction staff had already begun to greet them at the entrance. Aristocrats, wealthy businessmen, political elites, and so on came chatting and laughing, handed over invitations, and were politely invited in.
"Whoa!" Jack, dressed in fine costumes, walked out of the crowd, shook his hands, and magically displayed two gilded invitations.
Don took it casually, opened it and looked at it: "Atwood...... Well, let's go inside. ”
Not letting Jack eat was a joke, of course, but in fact, the two of them came here after buying a fancy outfit in the city and finding a luxurious restaurant to eat.
The auction is not accessible to everyone, and most of the things here are more valuable, so people in ordinary clothes can't enter. Of course, this is not a law, it all depends on whether you receive the invitation or not.
Needless to say, the two cards in Tang's hands were naturally brought by Jack.
Through the entrance, passing through a long corridor carved with beautiful reliefs, a very empty field is burst into view.
Needless to say, the seemingly casual but just right decorations around it. The most obvious thing that appeared in front of Don was the seats, which were facing in a semi-arc to the front, where there was a slightly higher platform, and there was a crystal display case more than a meter high, needless to say, it was supposed to be the place to auction things.
"Your Excellency, please sit casually!" the attendant waved his hand.
The seats here are certainly not casual, at least not in the front row. It's reserved for some big guys, of course. No one will be bored with themselves, just go and sit casually.
"Jack, what are you still standing?" said Donn, who was sitting near the edge of the aisle, inexplicably.
"Wait!" Jack said softly, coloring.
Tang En was stunned for a moment, but soon he knew Weishenme. At this moment, an old nobleman who looked very noble passed by, and Jack politely stepped out of the way. The other person nodded slightly in gratitude. Jack also quickly bent down to return the salute.
Nima ...... Just under Don's nose, Jack took advantage of the bending down, and in a flash of cold light, three diamonds were dug out from the old nobleman's belt. Immediately, the palm of the hand was flipped, and the blades and diamonds were all gone.
The corners of his mouth twitched twice, this thing ...... It's really dedicated!
After the old nobleman had passed, Don grabbed Jack, who was still waiting in the aisle. What are you kidding, he's here to buy the Douqi Method, and he doesn't want any accidents.
Grinned. Jack was dissatisfied: "Don, aren't you getting in my way." ”
Tang En crossed his arms over his chest and looked surprised: "Oh, is there one? ”
“...... Count on you!" Jack looked at Don, who was sitting outside like a door god, his face speechless. With his ability. Of course, it was impossible to pass Donn's block.
After a while, after the big names sitting in the first row arrived, the auction officially began.
A white-haired old man walked from behind the curtain to the crystal counter, smiling. Bowing down: "It's an honor to meet you at the auction in Riva City, I am the auctioneer this time, and I would like to thank you on behalf of the venue. ”
Bang Bang Bang ......
I can open an auction house. The background is naturally not small. This face still has to be given, so everyone applauded one after another, and the thunderous applause instantly resounded through the venue, and the momentum was quite extraordinary.
“xiexie,xiexie...... Haha, alright. Without further ado, let's not say much politely, and then there's the No. 1 auction item this time. The old man was also sensible, and he knew that people were not here to listen to his nonsense. Accept it when you see it, and immediately cut to the chase.
"This is the work 'The Redemption of the God of Light' from the master Midea, and this painting is long ......"
With the introduction of the old man, two beautiful women in rose-red slit robes carefully walked out from behind the curtain with a long scroll of paintings.
Wow -
There was a little commotion in the venue, and some people were already impatiently preparing to shout.
taste, which is something that all aristocrats value. Even most of them do not understand the subtlety of the painting, its profound meaning, and so on. But as long as you buy it back and hang it in the hall, who can't praise it for being tasteful first.
Sure enough, after the old man finished introducing the painting with flowery rhetoric and announcing the reserve price. The sound of bidding comes and goes,
"Ten thousand gold coins. ”
"Fifteen thousand gold coins. ”
"Eighteen thousand gold coins!"
“......”
With constant shouts from all corners of the venue, the price of the paintings quickly climbed like a roller coaster.
"Tsk, that's really rich!" Tang En couldn't help but sigh.
The current price is twenty-five thousand, so many gold coins can make a hundred thousand poor people spend a month. And here, it's just a tiny figure for those nobles to show off their tastes!
Eventually, the master's painting was sold by a young nobleman for 38,000 gold coins.
At his age, there is a chance that he will not be able to appreciate paintings of this theme. But you can know how happy he is by looking at him saluting and thanking him with glory in the praise around him...... There is face, and that is enough!
After the appetizers are served, the next auction items are presented on stage. It's a lot of stuff, and some of Don haven't heard of it. But there is no doubt that everything is precious, as can be seen from Jack, who is constantly rubbing his hands next to him...... This thief is hard to change, and his hands are obviously itchy......
Rare minerals, rare treasures, small jewelry......
So far, the highest price ever sold is 88,000 gold coins, which is a pair of amethyst pendants.
This result is not surprising, no matter which shijie, a woman's money is always the best to make, especially if she has a male partner.
Zuihou was a fat and big-eared wealthy businessman who won the auction, and after the auction was successful, the woman with a bewitching figure next to him immediately screamed, leaned over and kissed the former's greasy face......
The auction was still going on, and the more good things got to the back, some Tang En was excited, but weighing the golden ticket in his arms, he wisely dismissed the idea. Even so. He is also very bottomless in his heart. Before, he thought that more than 300,000 yuan was already a huge amount of money, but according to the current trend, I am afraid it is enough to choke......
The bigwigs in the first row of the field also have very few shots, but they will win each bid. On the one hand, of course, because the prices they offer are not low, on the other hand, they are also sold by others to save their face. They are all mixed in this city, and they don't look up and look down. It is not worth offending these people for the sake of small things.
Finally, the auction took place an hour and a half later.
"Ahem!" the old man cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Next is an auction item from Zuihou." ”
There was immediately some confusion in the field, and the sound decibel instantly increased a lot. Everyone knew that this should be the unavoidable fighting spirit method, and they all geared up to fight.
The old man took a wooden box shining with unknown brilliance from the hand of the beautiful woman, solemnly opened it, and raised his hand to light up.
"This is a fighting spirit method called the Phantom Moon Jue, which was obtained by an adventuring team from the ruins of the ancient city. According to our identification, this should be a local-level mental method. ”
Wow -
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone in the field immediately made an uproar. The ground-level mental method turned out to be the prefecture-level mental method. What does that mean? It means that as long as you're qualified. You can smoothly rise to a ground-level martial artist.
The power of a ground-level martial artist is self-evident, and this can completely shake the heritage of a family. It will also be said that as long as you get this mental method, the development of the family can be strongly guaranteed.
Gotta get it...... Don En was also shocked at this time. Clenched his fists and made a decision in an instant. Because when he saw this mental method, a kind of spiritual induction was born in his heart, and this mental method was definitely suitable for little Carlo.
"Be quiet. Everyone be quiet......" The old man shouted a few times, and finally settled down a little.
"Although this is a local-level mental method, there is one thing I want to affirm, when this mental method is found, it has already been a little broken!" the old man flipped through the book, pointed to the fragments of the Zuihou side, "But you don't need to panic, what is missing is only the fragment behind the prefecture level." ”
There is a defect, which of course affects the value of the item. But even so, this can also be promoted to the first rank of a ground-level martial artist. So the mood that everyone wanted was not hit.
"The reserve price is 100,000 gold coins, and the auction is now open!"
100,000 gold coins, which will undoubtedly brush away a group of people. It's not that some small families can't afford the money, but the point is that it's not necessary. First, there is a lot of money here, and they shoot it for nothing. Second, if all the money is thrown on this, will the family still want to develop?
Of course, more people are still bidding without hesitation.
"130,000 gold coins!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
"One hundred and eighty thousand!"
“......”
But in an instant, the price rose to 250,000.
This was the price offered by an old nobleman in the first row, and the scene was silent for a moment.
Everyone began to hesitate, the price was already very high, and it was from the big guys......
"Two hundred and sixty thousand!"
"Two hundred and seventy thousand"
“......”
The people sitting in the first row turned their heads to each other, nodded and smiled. Now it's basically them fighting. At this price, the jump is not large, and most of them are rising by 10,000.
"Three hundred thousand!" was still the first old nobleman, he turned his head and smiled: "Viscount Winston, I remember that your family doesn't have a high-level fighting spirit, so don't fight with an old man like me." ”
"Haha, everyone wants good things. Viscount Vernal, I'm sorry!" A middle-aged nobleman with a majestic face stood up and saluted with a smile.
The North is generally lower in title than the South. A medium-sized city like Riva City would have an earl in the south, but here, the viscount is the sky.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
Belch...... There was a sudden silence in the field, and the stunned person sitting in front turned his head to look back.
Although the two viscounts in front of him were smiling, they didn't seem to be angry. But in fact, this is also a way to show strength, those small families and wealthy businessmen can't even interject, let alone bid.
But at this moment, a voice came from behind, raising 50,000 in one breath and directly shouting out the high price of 350,000.
Middle-aged man, with an ordinary appearance and a somewhat pale face...... Noodles, foreign nobles? So that's no wonder!
This person is none other than the disguised Donne, who now has only 350,000 in total, excluding fractions. To be honest, he has a faint regret in his heart now, if he had known that this was the case, he should have bought those gray space equipment later.
Now he pressed all the money in one go. It's just betting that the other party won't follow.
After all, although it is true that it is a prefecture-level mental method, it is not as easy as some people think to practice to the prefecture-level, and there is no shortage of talent, qualifications, and luck. Just like those big nobles who have a prefecture-level mental method, they haven't seen how many prefecture-level martial artists have come out of their family.
The Viscount of Winston was also stunned, and then glanced at Tang En deeply: "I'll pay 360,000!"
"Three hundred and seventy thousand!" may have been Donn's leading role, and a wealthy businessman bid again.
Really...... Tang En sighed in his heart, his previous thoughts were still a fluke.
"I have fifty thousand gold coins here. "That's when it happened. Jack on the side whispered.
Don was stunned at first, and then overjoyed. I didn't bother to question Weishenme, this kid has so much money, but he kept crying poor, and said: "400,000!"
Nima ...... Jack stroked his forehead, this guy was really unkind, and went straight to the base.
Everyone was also a little speechless at this time, this master was really domineering, and the bids were all 50,000 plus, which was refreshing.
Several people in the front row were hesitant when they heard this. As Don thought, they also knew the doorway. Having a prefecture-level heart method does not mean that there are ground-level martial artists, and the actual price of this incomplete heart method is about 380,000. But the price has been increased so far, and it is a pity to say that it is a pity to give up.
Finally, the old Viscount Vernal spat out: "Four hundred and one thousand!"
Like I said before. His family didn't have the vindictive spirit to get his hands on. Now that I encounter it by chance, I won't give it up easily.
Alas...... Jack sighed, he knew how much money Don had on him, and now it was clear that it was no fun. Just as he was about to be comforted.
Tang En got up, pulled out his dagger and walked onto the auction table.
Belch...... Jack was instantly shocked, is this a robbery?
At this time, this idea also came to the mind. There was some commotion in the room, but most of the people were just watching from the sidelines, looting at the auction.
As a matter of fact, auctions are a place to store all kinds of exotic objects, and safety is naturally a top priority. Grab something here, unless your strength directly sweeps the scene, it's a joke.
Don's strength is good, but it's certainly not to the point of being arrogant. As soon as he showed off his dagger, he felt several powerful auras instantly lock up. One of them was particularly strong, Tang En had felt it in the silver-haired man in the bounty hunter group, this was the oppression of the peak martial artist of the prefecture level.
Simply raised the dagger, "Please help me estimate it!"
Oh, I see...... Everyone suddenly realized that there is this rule in the auction, when someone does not have enough money on him, he can use something to value as collateral.
The white-haired old man was a senior appraiser, and he looked through the pitted dagger, and his eyes lit up: "Black Meteorite Iron Mother, good thing." ”
After a little silence, he said, "How about the estimate of 90,000 gold coins?"
Don nodded, the origin of this dagger does not need to be said, the field is the clearest. The price of 90,000 gold coins is also fair, of course, if it is auctioned, it should be easy to pay more than 100,000 gold coins, but now as a mortgage, naturally there will not be any high price.
"Okay, I'll give 490,000 now. Don neatly stacked all the gold coins again.
"You ......" Viscount Vernal almost didn't spit out blood, you have such a price increase. Fighting for your life? This stunned young man......
The current situation is very clear, Tang En's money is so much, as long as the other party is willing to pay 500,000, he can be suppressed. But not everyone is like him, the price is obviously inflated, and then there is a battle of will, the so-called injustice is also!
"I'll give half a million!" said Viscount Vernal, as if stimulated, gasping for breath twice.
The venue shook again, and they exchanged heads and ears. 500,000, that's basically equivalent to a manor.
What about the battle of will? If you don't fight for steamed buns, you still fight for breath...... Viscount Vernal finally straightened out his breath: "Young man, auction bidding is not like this, and money is not squandered like this. Today, even if I win!"
The age is there, and the identity is there. Although he himself is now profligate, it is still a light cloud and a light wind and an awe-inspiring atmosphere.
"That makes sense! But if you have too much money, you can squander it. Mr. Arthur, I support you. Is 1 million enough? 2 million?" )
