Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 738 Auction
It is not easy to live long in a chaotic place.And the shopkeeper in front of Liang En and the others was such a wise man.

So the two hours of waiting for Liang En and Joan of Arc were not boring, because it was very interesting to listen to the old man tell the story of their past.

Compared with most people who once broke out but ended up with bad endings, this old man has been adhering to a stable idea since he entered the industry at the age of 14, so he can live longer than most so-called lucky people longer.

"To tell you the truth, I envy those of you who can stand in the sun." After telling his story, the old man sighed.

"At least you are not like us, you have to be careful every step of the way. And even if you really have a chance to make a lot of money, you can still make it while ensuring your own safety."

These private information about the old man himself also allowed Liang En to confirm that just as he had guessed before, this shop owner was indeed an informant in the underground black market of Golden Dawn.

As for the recruitment conditions given, it is also very simple, that is to help his children clean up, and then live the life of ordinary people outside, not like other gypsies.

The old man did not say what the specific situation of his children is, but from what he said, his children should be just ordinary people, and they may not be as good as him financially.But even so he was satisfied.

At least in his view, the environment in which the gypsies throughout Europe live allows people of this nation to repeat the life of their ancestors' displacement from generation to generation, and if they want to get rid of these, they can only choose to leave.

It has to be said that love for children can be said to be a common human emotion, and an alliance based on this love is also the strongest alliance.

In addition, Liang En also knew many habits of Roma, some of which can be found in various materials, while others are precious first-hand information.

It can even be said that if one is willing to collect some more information, then the folklore knowledge of the Roma people obtained this time alone can be used to write an article at the level of a graduate thesis.

While everyone was chatting, time passed quickly.Before I knew it, two hours had passed, and soon it was time for the auction.

So under the guidance of the shop owner, Liang En and the others walked around the dark basement several times, then passed through a closed iron door that was obviously used for an air-raid shelter, and came to a huge underground space.

.This underground space is likely to be one of the underground fortresses used by the Swiss Army, and there are many slogans related to the army beside it, but it is obviously abandoned now.

Unlike normal auctions, which are very punctual, this auction will start when people arrive, which is about 10 minutes earlier than the agreed time.

At the same time, the auction process was not formal at all. Basically, the auction host was willing to drop the hammer only when no one was willing to continue selling for more than ten seconds.

"I feel that the items sold here are a bit strange." After starting to auction several items, Joan of Arc leaned into Liang En's ear and said.

"It's obviously different from the previous auctions we went to." "Of course, of course it's different." Liang En smiled and nodded. "For example, there is no rule in the auction order of the things in this auction.

After all, these Roma are not historians at all, and the sources of these things are also different, so they simply sell these things in random order at the auction.

"Are mummies so popular? Who is buying them?" Looking at the third animal mummy sold within 40 minutes, Joan of Arc couldn't hold back her inner desire to complain.

At least in Joan's eyes, these mummies are just very well-preserved corpses, and from her three perspectives, she really can't understand why someone would be willing to buy such things.

"Of course, because in many traditional European medicines, mummy powder is a kind of magical elixir, which can have a strong nourishing effect on certain aspects of people." Liang En said with a smile.

"In fact, in many countries, tonic has always been in the category of metaphysics rather than science, so in many cases these weird things have been selling well."

"It's just that because of different civilizations, each place has different characteristics. For example, in China, plants like Cynomorium cynomorium, or the whips of certain animals are better sold."

"This is really—" Joan felt that she basically couldn't understand some people's thoughts, but before she finished speaking, she saw Liang En staring at the things that were going to be auctioned now.

What was put on the auction table now was a somewhat rough gold ring, inlaid with a transparent golden yellow gemstone, which looked inconspicuous.

According to the auctioneer, it was a Renaissance gold ring with a Libyan gold tektite inlaid on it.

"—This ring embodies the European Renaissance era, a microcosm of European Mediterranean trade. Even the German region far away from the Mediterranean has traces of trade." The host above said loudly.

"So such a commemorative ring is very valuable whether you collect it yourself or resell it. Well, without further ado, let's start the auction. The starting price is 650 euros, and the price will increase by 50 euros each time."

This can also be regarded as a feature of the auction. Every auction item will be praised as unique in the sky and unparalleled in the earth, no matter what the value of the item is.

But if you want to know whether this thing is good or not, you must not listen to what he boasted before, but look at the price of this thing at the auction.That's closer to reality.

And judging from the quotation of this ring, the auctioneer of this auction probably didn't think it was a very valuable item, so he quoted this price.

This can be regarded as another feature of Roma auctions. They will mix and sell things of different values, styles, and sources, so the former item may be worth hundreds of thousands, while the latter item will drop to hundreds of dollars. .

As soon as the host of "700" finished speaking, Liang En was the first to stretch out his right hand to call the price, and then several other people also started to call the price.

However, because of some incongruities on the ring, Liang En finally won the ring for 1200 Euros.

After paying the cash, the staff quickly gave the items to Liang En. This is also different from those regular auctions, but it also allows everyone to see what they bought as soon as possible.

As I saw before, the gemstone inlaid on it is not pure gold, but a reddish gold color, which is different from the pure gold color of Libyan glass gemstones.

This is why the price of this thing is not high, because the core gemstones are counterfeit, the price of this thing is not much higher anyway.

But for Liang En, what he cared about was this obviously man-made glass, because all the clues he wanted had been experienced on this glass.
