I will always be the protagonist, and the world will always revolve around me.

As the prince of the Kingdom of Tanova and the second heir to the throne, Prince Andrei has thought so since birth.

Even in the auction hall full of other people's eyes, he still did not hesitate to reach out and caress his favorite maid, while feeling the warmth and silkiness of the woman's belly skin with his rough fingertips, while tasting the mellow aroma of fine wine.

"Your Highness, you really ......"

In his skillful technique, the beautiful maid who had been in a hundred battles also blushed slightly, chuckling and wrapping her soft arms around the young man's neck.

However, Andre's eyes were not on the beauty, his eyes were always on the "goods" on the high platform far away from the VIP seat.

"VIP No. 1, bid 300,000 gold shields, this superb human-faced demon bird, is there anyone who wants to increase the price?"

Next to the auction host, who wears a white mask and a black dress, there is a young girl locked in an iron cage.

Despite her girlish face, she is not human, but a human-faced demon bird.

In addition to looking petite than a human girl of the same age, she also has a pair of strong wings, and although she is not clothed, her chest, abdomen and other skin are covered with gray-black feathers, and her hands and feet have intimidating claws.

This female human-faced demon bird, which was originally a fierce female monster, now has dilated eyes and is sluggish, and the wings on her back are tied to death by iron wires, except for the bulky collar around her neck, her limbs are also shackled, ensuring that she cannot move even if the iron cage is opened.

"350,000 gold shields, the best human-faced demon bird, someone has bid 350,000 gold shields again, is there anyone who wants to increase the price?"

Just as the host was about to knock down the wooden hammer, Andrei pressed the markup button on the armrest of the chair.

"400,000 gold dong, VIP No. 1 has bid again, the best female human-faced demon bird from the Boer Highlands, is there anyone who wants to increase the price?"

"400,000 once. ”

"Four hundred thousand twice. ”

"400,000 three times, good deal! Congratulations to the No. 1 VIP for purchasing this human-faced demon bird. ”

At the signal of the host, four guards dressed in steel armor walked up to the stage, loaded the cage containing the human-faced demon bird into the cart, and brought it into the backstage, ready to deliver it to customers.

The dignifiedly dressed old man standing behind Andre's seat reminded: "Your Highness, it's a bit ...... to spend 400,000 yuan to buy this human-faced demon bird."

"I want it, it's that simple. ”

Andrei, who had just bought a new plaything, was in a good mood now, and he took the maid into his arms and let her sit on his lap and play with her.

"This human-faced demon bird and the female kraken in front of it are all rare things in the palace, and the high-end goods of this Twilight City auction house are not comparable to the garbage paid by those fools. ”

In the face of the wayward youth, the old man could only smile bitterly: "Please don't forget the ultimate purpose of our trip, Your Highness." ”

Andre frowned dissatisfied, he glared at the old man and said, "I have my own measure, I don't need you to teach me to do things." ”

"Yes......"

Amid the woman's laughter, the old man closed his mouth helplessly.

Next, the auction house exhibited a bunch of strange alien slaves and rare treasures, and Andre looked at it and bought it at a high price, without feeling distressed. And the old man behind him has been silently shaking his head, this is bought with Taunova's treasury gold, this prince is really not distressed, and the people who pay taxes to pay for it may not be.

"Here's one of our highlights, the High Monster Egg. ”

The host clapped his hands, and four beautiful women walked out from behind the curtain in the background, and they pushed a half-human-sized giant egg to the stage together.

At the same time, the people in the seats also began to stir, and it was obvious that this giant egg had a lot of origins.

Andre frowned and thought, "This egg doesn't seem to be the one we want, right? ”

The old man responded: "Yes, Your Highness, this egg should be the mysterious monster egg that stunned the major scholars." ”

When the beauties lined up and stood behind the dome, the host also began to introduce the dome: "This dome, everyone who has come must have heard of it, the eggshell is extremely hard, and there have been high-ranking samurai who have struck it with all their strength with a hammer, but they have not left a single white spot on it. ”

"Ordinary Warcraft eggs shouldn't have this hardness, otherwise juvenile Warcraft will be trapped in the eggshell. However, there is still the breath of life in the egg, but because the eggshell has a very strong interference ability, we have invited a number of spiritual masters to fail to see through the true appearance of the creatures in the eggshell. ”

With that, at the host's gesture, the four waitresses each took out a chip and surrounded the dome.

Then a projection of the Dome appeared on the huge curtain hanging on the wall of the Great Auction Hall.

"There are also mysterious inscriptions on the eggshells, and according to the identification of relevant scholars, these are long-lost dragon inscriptions, but the specific contents cannot be deciphered. Because it is related to the dragon family, after discussion among the university scholars, it is believed that this egg is also likely to be the egg of the high dragon family, but it is impossible to determine which kind of dragon it is. ”

"This dome itself is a collection of a certain great witch, it does not violate the "Kloshan Agreement", it is a commodity that can be legally bought and sold, and the starting price is 500,000 gold dong. ”

The host turned the hourglass on the table in front of him upside down and said:

"You have 10 minutes to prepare, and when it's time, we'll start shooting. ”

There was an uproar, but Andre was calm.

"The giant egg is said to have been discovered 300 years ago, but there is still no sign of hatching 300 years later, and it is likely that it is just a stillborn baby that will never hatch. ”

Andre knows a lot of insider information, although dragon eggs are priceless, but this "dragon" egg is likely to only be used as a collector's item.

"It's also a shame that they dare to use such a high reserve price. ”

And the old man also said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has not explained that you want to take this egg, so we don't have to fight for it." ”

"It's okay, no one should want it anyway, I'll buy one and go back and see if there are any surprises. ”

But Andre didn't think about giving up, this kind of thing with a certain legendary color, how could he not buy one and go back to play?

When the hourglass came to an end, the host knocked on the wooden hammer and said, "Okay, now the auction starts, the reserve price of 500,000 gold shields, does anyone bid?"

Andre casually moved his fingers and marked a string of numbers on the display board.

"600,000, VIP No. 1 bid 600,000, is there anyone else bidding?"

"Six hundred thousand once. ”

"Six hundred thousand twice. ”

Heh, I knew this kind of thing would be easy to get my hands on.

Andre took the wine handed over by the maid in his arms, looked at the wooden hammer that was about to fall in the host's hand, and drank the wine in one gulp.

"650,000! 650,000! Someone has increased the price! Mysterious dragon eggs! 650,000, has anyone else increased the price?"

"Poof!!"

The host's suddenly high-pitched voice made Andre squirt out the wine in his mouth, causing the maid to wipe the wine on her face with a handkerchief with a resentful face.

What's going on? Someone is robbing me of this kind of thing?

Andre doesn't understand, this kind of thing as a collection, his bid is already comparable to the well-known painter Gao Fan's posthumous work "Flowers Looking at the Sun", how can anyone still call him out?

Unconvinced, Andrei pressed the markup button.

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand, and the No. 1 VIP bid seven hundred and fifty thousand. ”

When Andrei thought that this was the case, the host shouted before he knocked down the wooden hammer:

"800,000! 166 bid 800,000. ”

Damn!

Andre turned his head to look at seat 166, which was full of mysterious people wearing masks and black robes, they were often some warlock wizards, whose identities were kept secret.

But how can the noble self have something that cannot be obtained?

Andre continued to press the price increase button, and the old man next to him turned pale.

"Your Highness, Your ......"

"Shut up!"

"Nine hundred thousand! VIP No. 1 bid nine hundred thousand!"

The host's voice became more and more excited, and the atmosphere in the auction room became extremely anxious.

"Nine hundred and fifty thousand!

However, the number 166 continued to follow, which made André furious, so he raised the price one last time.

"One million! mysterious dragon egg, VIP No. 1 bids one million gold dong!"

This time, the audience was in an uproar, and even the huge Twilight City auction house rarely had more than one million auction items.

Andre, who auctioned this price, was also in a cold sweat, and he knew very well that this price had threatened the ultimate goal of his subsequent trip.

"A million ......"

The host's voice slowed down a lot, and the speed of the hammer dropped significantly, and it was clear that he was hoping for a higher bidder.

"A million twice ......"

Andrei's palms were covered with sweat, he couldn't have paid any higher, since he was a child, he hadn't been so nervous to expect something except for the throne.

"One million three ......"

Aren't there any bidders?

The host was a little disappointed, of course, this price has far exceeded expectations, and he was prepared for the auction to be unsuccessful because of the high price set by the auctioneer, but this unpromising Warcraft egg was so popular, which the auction house did not expect.

"One million and fifty thousand! Buyer No. 166 bids one million and fifty thousand!"

Just as the third hammer was about to fall, the markup reminder on that inconspicuous seat lit up again.

"What?"

Andrei looked at the guy who was competing with him in disbelief, who was the other party?

Which rich merchant or nobleman with a lot of money in his pocket?

The old man reminded again: "Your Highness, you must remember Your Majesty's mission!"

"Get down!"

Annoyed, Andrei knocked the overwhelmed maid off his leg, and then slammed his fist on the armrest, but he didn't dare to continue to increase the price.

It seems that the world does not revolve around him.

Buyer No. 166 cast a disdainful glance at the young man in the VIP seat, but the pursed lips under the mask also showed that she was not easy.

"One hundred and fifty thousand once. ”

"One hundred and fifty thousand twice. ”

Feeling the other party's gaze, Andre was angry and wanted to increase the price again, when suddenly a prompt sound came from the nearby VIP seats.

"One million three hundred thousand! VIP No. 8 bid one million three hundred thousand!"

"Huh?!"

Both No. 166 and Andre looked at the No. 8 guest, a woman wearing a butterfly mask with a noble and flirtatious smile on her lips, and four tall servants wearing different masks stood next to her.

The old man said, "Your Highness, that 'lady' has made a move. ”

"Okay, anyway, just don't let that 166 get his hands on it. ”

A Warcraft egg that should only have collectible value, is it necessary to grab it so seriously?

Andrei, although confused, was already convinced.

is also a competitor in the finale commodity, I haven't seen this woman shoot much before, if she lets her take this mysterious dragon egg this time, she will have more confidence in winning the dragon egg later.

However, when I thought the dust had settled, the price of No. 166 increased again.

"One million four hundred thousand! 166 bid one hundred and forty thousand!"

The host was stunned, he didn't expect this product to be photographed at this price, but before his hammer fell, the prompt sound sounded on the side of VIP No. 8.

"One and a half million! VIP No. 8 bids 1.5 million!"

Andre knew he couldn't compete at this level, and he could only be one of the many spectators of the two who were competing.

"One million six hundred thousand! 166 bid one hundred and sixty thousand!"

"1.8 million! VIP No. 8 bids 1.8 million!"

The atmosphere became extremely hot, and both the host and the buyers were sweating on their palms and foreheads, which was the rhythm of breaking the previous auction records!

Are they going to witness history?

Damn!

Under the tremendous pressure given by the No. 8 VIP, No. 166 gritted his teeth and played a long string of numbers.

"Two million! No. 166 bids two million gold! Is there a higher price?"

With this amount, you can already buy a huge castle, and this is the price of the finale of the previous auction house.

Who is this 166? How can he have such a lot of wealth, and why is he not in the VIP seat?

Andre and the rest of the audience were confused.

The "lady" also shook her head and chuckled, and made a "please" gesture to No. 166, who was looking at her.

Obviously, in the face of such a high price, she does not plan to follow up either.

"Please wait a minute, we need to verify the identity of guest number 166 to determine if the transaction is valid. ”

The host and the auction house are curious about No. 166, of course, if it is a deliberate provocateur, then this person will have to be blasted out of the auction hall and permanently blocked.

Several heavily armed guards and two waitresses walked to the side of the seat at No. 166, and the other party did not make any abnormal moves, and calmly followed these people to the backstage.

During this time, there is no need for the host to emphasize, and the audience remains quiet and waits for the final result.

It wasn't until a waitress whispered to the host that the host nodded and finally said:

"Okay, the transaction is confirmed, let's take a look at the next item. ”

André didn't think that No. 166 would be blasted out, and he could only watch with unwilling eyes as the group of waitresses pushed the dome into the backstage.

No. 166 did not appear at auction again, just as everyone speculated whether the mysterious buyer would be a collector or a low-key businessman.

Still cloaked and masked, No. 166 was directing the guards in the square outside the auction hall to load the dome into a simple and even somewhat dilapidated wagon.

"We'll take care of the rest, go back!"

No. 166 looked very thin and small standing next to these tall guards, and his voice was also a woman's voice, and he was even a little immature.

"Yes, sir. ”

Wu Wei saluted No. 166 respectfully, and then the captain of the Wu Guard asked:

"Do you need to hire a guard? We can provide security on our side, as long as you pay a little more......"

"No, not necessarily. ”

Number 166's voice was a little nervous, and she sent them away after giving them a tip.

"Miss, are you ready?"

The coachman of number 166 was a knight in full armor, but he was also a woman in the voice.

"Well, let's go back! the sooner the better!"

After hanging up the baffle and putting a tarpaulin over the dome, 166 sat down on the seat next to the dome and took off his stuffy mask and cloak.

It was a girl of no more than fifteen years old, with long black hair curly and amber eyes, her smooth and fair cheeks were a little red from nervousness, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

In those big scenes just now, it was already very good that she could hold back and not tremble, and the negotiation with these fierce and unfamiliar adults made her legs weak.

But all her efforts were worth it.

As long as she gets this egg, it will be worth it no matter how much she pays.

Even if the high price of these two million gold will deplete the last capital of the Lanyeer family, it will still be worth it.

And it all started one day two weeks ago......
