Chapter 111: Auction

The main venue of this auction is located in the most open valley area, and the dry riverbed is full of white sediment, and it has only been a few years before the desert wind and sand have filled it in.

Perhaps, the rivers on the ground have really dried up and disappeared, but the underground dark river flow must still exist, otherwise the oasis here will not be able to maintain at all, without the maintenance of underground water sources, the fragile ecological balance of the oasis has long been destroyed by the past business travel.

The auction, which was originally scheduled to start in the morning, was postponed again and again for various reasons. Until noon, in the political arena of the Desert Empire, the direct members of the Shalombas family, who have a lot of energy, happened to "pass by" the Moon Bay Oasis, and heard that there was an auction of steel steam chariots, and happily came to participate with a lot of money.

Thus, the auction was able to start smoothly. The aristocracy sat in a divided circular box, without corresponding status, preferring to be empty rather than for ordinary merchants to settle in. The caravan owners of the past, with their accountants and bodyguards, stayed in the main hall with large parasols, holding several signs with increased prices.

The first person to appear was Shasha, the spokesman of the Governor of the Oasis, who came forward to explain that Mr. Oak of the White Camel Mountain Chamber of Commerce changed hands and received a large sum of money, withdrew from the auction with all his body, and invited the generous Mr. Oak himself to prove that his decision was not coerced by external forces, but completely voluntary.

Later, the camouflage cloth was lifted, revealing six intact steel steam chariots, as well as a mountain of various parts and components placed nearby.

"The Steel Steam Chariot is the result of the highest technological research of the Order of Doom! The Prime Minister of the Empire once issued a forced call, but unfortunately the people of the Order are all brainless, and would rather destroy the blueprints than hand them over. Later, the Order of Doom was attacked by the Empire, and the scientists affiliated to the Order were included in the Imperial Academy of Sciences, but some of the remnants of the Order fled, accumulating wealth through business, perhaps not fast enough, and turned into bandits in the desert. Unfortunately, the people of the Order of Doom are not good at this, and as a result, a robbery was not successful, but they lost all their old capital. ”

Spokesman Sha Sha is a very good storyteller, obviously not like that, he hooked up the old past, linked to each other, and there were no flaws, no obvious loopholes, so everyone present was fooled.

Ye Zhiqiu, who was watching coldly, clasped his arms with both hands, leaning on a date palm tree with thigh-thick and evergreen leaves, and saw that the buyers at the scene calmed down and listened to the spokesman's words, and couldn't help grinning, knowing that the foreshadowing was enough, and he was about to enter the topic.

As the host of the auction, the atmosphere in the sand sofa was heated by his words, and he glanced sideways at his master from a hidden angle.

At this time, the Governor of the Oasis was chatting with the members of the Shalombas family, not noticing the speaker at the auction room, Shasha, but he could still sense the gaze on him, so he waved his hand lightly, and let his cronies dominate the auction.

The first to warm up was a complete steel steam chariot with sharks painted on its shell and armor, which was started in the parked position, the exhaust pipe suddenly spewed white smoke, the wide tracks sparkled, and the heavy tank counted in tons did not sink into the yellow sand, but smoothly ran over.

Fast as a galloping horse, the shell is invulnerable, and even if it fights against the Holy Land Flying Camel Legion, it can firmly gain the upper hand. So the starting price of this steel steam chariot was 3,000 Desert Empire gold coins, and the merchants present paid for it.

"It's too cheap to get the secret of the steel steam car for three thousand gold. Add a hundred!"

Some people say that it is cheap, but the price increase is the least, I am afraid that the financial resources are not enough, and they are afraid that their peers will guess the truth, so they will throw it out to test the water first.

The host Shasha shouted if anyone had increased the price, and when he saw that no one in the venue reacted, he sighed in his heart, but he still knocked on the auction hammer.

Once, twice, and the third time did not fall, someone finally reacted, raised the "two hundred" sign in his hand, and began to increase the price.

Three thousand three hundred, three thousand five hundred, three thousand seven hundred...... Four thousand two hundred, four thousand seven hundred, four thousand eight hundred...... Five thousand gold!

At this price, no one dared to raise the card, the host Shasha's face flushed with excitement, and he knocked on the auction hammer, three times in a row, and finally confirmed the deal.

The first auction cost 5,000 gold, which was 160 percent of the reserve price, and the premium was not a lot, and the atmosphere in the venue finally became warm.

As for the Chamber of Commerce, which successfully auctioned off this light steel steam chariot, it immediately sent someone to deliver the full amount of gold coins, and took the auction items out of the auction hall, prepared enough coal and water, and left the Moon Bay Oasis and returned to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce.

Ye Zhiqiu watched the auction continue, and the Oasis Land Snake successively received large sums of money, and glanced back at the owner of the White Camel Mountain Chamber of Commerce, a burst of blue and red appeared on his face, and his hands clenched into fists, after all, it was still very distressing to miss such a large sum of money.

However, it was all worth it to be able to get out of the way and throw all the risks to others, and in the end he let go of the obsession in his heart, exhaled a long breath, and let go of his fist.

Ye Zhiqiu smiled slightly, looked back at the auction hall, and felt that a strange atmosphere was spreading, which was a sign of a dangerous undercurrent surging under the water: "The steel steam chariot can be regarded as a high-tech crystallization at the moment. For the Europa countries, this is an opportunity to overtake in corners. For the Chamber of Commerce of the Desert Empire, this is the object of buying back and copying. Vast amounts of wealth are flowing here, and I am confident that bloody slaughter will soon befall you. ”

The development of things was indeed as he expected, because the atmosphere of the auction hall was hyped up, even the main parts of the steam engine released by the head snake in the oasis were sold for a high price of 1,000 gold, and the intelligence officers of various countries lurking in the oasis of Moon Bay were already out of the game because of their shyness and the amount of wealth that was being tested.

Adhering to the principle of stealing if you can't buy it, and robbing it if you can't steal it, some well-dressed decent people took the initiative to get up and leave the scene, returned to their respective tents, and quickly completed the change of clothes and the means of changing their faces.

Some people have their eyes on the whole vehicle photographed by the Chamber of Commerce, and some people have their eyes on the main parts of the steam engine, but the dark saint warrior from Death Queen Island has his eyes locked on the behemoth driven by the remnants of the Charcoal Burner.

It is the last auction item of this auction, originally the Oasis Land Snake was not ready to be sold, but the atmosphere in the venue is too good, if it can be auctioned for a high price, the greedy Desert Empire Oasis nobles will definitely choose to sell.
