Main text 2566 The past is like dust (Part 3)

"What is now presented to you is the rumored most cherished saber from the former Emperor Thoradin of the Istanbul Empire! The Blood of Raumul." Under the lights in the center of the brightly lit auction hall, a person wearing a red dress The beautiful woman in the robe was explaining to everyone in the room with her voice that was so charming that it made people feel numb. The auction item in my hand is a royal sword with obvious Istani style. The blade is curved like a half moon. The half-exposed blade is bright and cold, like a touch of bright silver. At first glance, it looks like an extremely sharp cutting weapon. Eight golden tassels hang down from the golden-blue background of the handle, setting off eight red round gemstones the size of dragon's eyes.

These rubies are like stars in the sky, making this precious sword seem to have a layer of redness flowing. For such a large ruby, each gem is round and round like a pool of red water. Under the light, it is like the Big Dipper in the sky. It is absolutely It is the best among gems, each one is worth more than 100,000, not to mention eight of the same size. Just this one, the value of this Istan sword is The value is over one million, not to mention that the former owner of this sword was the famous former Emperor of Istanbul, Thoradin I. The breathing in the entire venue was a bit heavy, and in the clear and numb voice of the woman , this Istan sword is even more dazzling. In fact, the price of this item, which is not too rare, is also rising at a hot speed. ∈♦, "one million" "1.3 million" "1.35 million"

In a seemingly remote location of the auction house, the fat man glanced at the beautiful woman in the auction house. With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that this woman was about twenty-three or four years old, with a mature and charming aura, plump and exquisite body. The charming curves made all the men in the room reluctant to look away, but for the fat man who was used to seeing beautiful women. There is also a level of eighty-five points or above, "Your Majesty, this woman's name is Lucini, she is from the Pat family of imperial merchants, and she is also one of the people in charge of this auction house." Lidastov showed up at the right time. He quickly explained later

The fat man's eyes casually glanced at the scimitar in Lucini's hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. This woman was really good at making up stories. The former Emperor Thoradin I of Istanbul was considered his fierce rival. He was so talented and strategic that he personally led an army across the sea. . He defeated Gangfei and attacked Feishan in one go. If the Falcon Empire hadn't intervened, he might have become the first monarch in the history of the Istan Empire to fully control the entire central part of Oparo.

How could a character fighting like this on horseback use a gorgeous but unworthy sword? Fatty was definitely an expert among experts when it came to weapons. This knife looks sharp, but in fact the entire blade is too particular. Many positions are hollowed out, and the handle is inlaid with eight rubies. The handle of the knife is almost half empty. Can this kind of thing be used on the battlefield?

On the sharp edge of the knife, it will break directly from the handle after a few cuts. It would be a joke if Emperor Thoradin I wore this to command an army in battle, and Thoradin I did not know whether he was alive or dead when ambushed by the Imperial Navy. Two years have passed. I'm afraid it has become food for the fish in the sea. The Istan Empire has also become the territory of the empire. There is no way to talk about sabers or anything like that.

The fat man is sure that this knife does come from Istan, but it has absolutely nothing to do with Thoradin I. The most likely possibility is that it is a royal collection taken out by the capital of Istan. I heard that the second prince is really prodigal and is about to be killed. The century-old collection of the Istanbul royal family has been emptied out, but these items are usually auctioned in Lisbon in the south. I don't know who sent this knife to the Falcon Imperial Capital for auction, but the hot scene in front of him also made Fatty's heart flutter. There are a lot of such things in the empire's warehouse. Just make up a name and throw it out. His worth has skyrocketed like this. Who knows whether it is true or not? With the official guarantee from the empire, who would dare to check?

The fat man's mind was not on the auction. Although the Istan Emperor's sword as the first item in the opening scene made the scene very popular, it had no impact on the fat man. He looked at the auction house with his moving eyes. There were a total of 100 people in the auction house. There are three floors, and the decoration on the top floor is the most luxurious. The white bead curtains are opened to both sides, revealing the people sitting inside, all of whom are gorgeously dressed. There are also various fruits, drinks, and even special tables for sale on the table. Attendants fanned themselves with feather fans. The entire third floor had a total of twenty compartments, like the top of a huge pyramid. The second floor had sixty compartments, like a huge semicircle. The size is completely incomparable to that of the third floor. Although the decoration is decent, it can be seen that most of the people entering the second floor are nobles and ordinary businessmen. When you get to the bottom floor, there are as many as a dozen rows of seats, at least There are also two or three hundred,

The fat man's eyes suddenly stopped and fell on the corridor at the entrance of the auction house. He couldn't help but look surprised and weird. There was the entrance to the first floor. A woman wearing a black veil on her head slowly walked in a row on the right side of the door. As he sat down, although the black gauze covered his face, this woman made the fat man feel familiar yet unfamiliar. Feeling raw, the fat man saw a dozen people around the woman and nodded slightly to the woman almost at the same time. Although the movement was very small, how could he hide the fat man's eyes? The woman's face was calm, covered by black gauze. Half of the face, but a pair of beautiful and deep eyes, seems to be waiting for something, "Your Majesty, those people should all be Gauls."

Lidastov also saw this scene, and his face changed slightly. The purpose of auctioning the Gallic Emperor's crown was to attract the Gauls. At this time, the sword of the Emperor of Istanbul in front of him had been finally sold for 3.3 million. I have to say, my name is Lu Xini's woman is a good at mobilizing the atmosphere. Her every move and smile will cause the price to skyrocket. Whenever the price changes, this woman will also send a charming smile to the place where the price was previously raised. Smile, suddenly, I was still annoyed The bidder, Lima, was in high spirits, and the atmosphere in the venue, as the charming woman covered her mouth and chuckled, remained positive. Then several lots went out in succession, all of which sold for good prices, but they also made the The scene is a bit weird. , the whole auction house was filled with shouts of bidding, but on the right side of the auction house, near the door, there was a group of about thirty or forty people. Everyone had serious and cold faces, and their eyes shone coldly. On these people, there were more or less signs of Can feel an angry breath

"Have our people made arrangements?"

The fat man looked away. He said nonchalantly. I have to say that the location of this golden box is really good. It can almost take in the entire audience, and it will not attract the other party's attention. No one will pay attention to an inconspicuous second floor. In the corner, the fat man was just a little curious, who is that woman? Among the guys in Gaul mentioned by the Ministry of Intelligence, there seems to be no woman who can make others obey like this.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. If the Gauls want to take away the imperial crown, there will be a lot of blood. We have arranged four people to guarantee that the price will be more than 10 million, so that these poor Gauls can pawn it!" Lidastov sneered at the corner of his mouth, "Ten million is too little. Tell them, at least fifteen million is needed." The fat man tapped his fingers on the table. Since these Gauls are so united, let you choose one who cannot do it. With the heavy weight to bear, whether the imperial crown will fail to sell. Fatty didn't consider it, and it was rejected. At worst, it would be released after a while, as far as the empire was concerned. There is no loss,

"Yes, I understand!" Lidastov nodded, turned around and left the box.

"Haha. Everyone, this is a group of lots entrusted to the auction house. Although the value is not as high as the previous lots. But according to the person who sent it, if you really know the goods, it can be regarded as fulfilling a wish." There were several words in front of it. The results of these items were good, which made Lucini, who hosted the auction, breathe a sigh of relief. In her mind, the next lot was just to ease the situation.

The auction house accepted this consignment auction entirely because of the rules of the auction house. Each auction must have one or two consignment auctions that do not have much profit. Moreover, Lucini also believes that the only valuable items in this group of auctions are It's just a ruby ​​jewelry. Three to four hundred thousand is considered a high price. It's completely sold with the attitude of treating it as a product.

Out of professionalism, she still smiled and waved her jade hand, and an attendant quickly brought a box. Inside the box was a string of red fiery gemstone ornaments and a black falcon heraldry ring, one red and one black. The fat man's eyes narrowed as he paid attention to the auction. Is the obsidian ring damaged? Obsidian itself is a very strong stone, so it is used to carve heraldic rings. Unless it is chopped with a knife, axe, chisel, or calcined at high temperature, it is difficult to be damaged. Regarding Susanna's death, Fatty has been avoiding going deeper in his heart. think,

Fatty thought that even if Susanna died, she probably didn't want the Loria family to be implicated. The intelligence department's investigation also said that Susanna died of the plague, but the incomplete obsidian ring in front of him for auction made Fatty feel a surge in his heart. It stings. The maid risked her life to bring Tears of the Moon God, probably because she wanted to attract her attention to this auction. What is in the auction? Not Tears of the Moon, but an obsidian heraldic ring! I believe that Susanna was wearing an inconspicuous and worthless obsidian ring on her hand when she died. She should have been sleeping with her owner forever. There is only one possibility for her to be here: someone dug the grave! The maid dug up the grave and brought the ring here

The fat man's hand suddenly grasped the armrest of the chair, and there was a crisp snap. The hard red nanmu armrest actually cracked under his fingers.

"This is the Tears of the Moon God, which is very famous in southern Wikiia. Although this obsidian ring is somewhat damaged, it is just a gift from the Tears of the Moon God. If you don't like it, you can buy it and dispose of it. The base price is thirty-five yuan. Ten thousand! "Lucini picked up the red Tears of the Moon with her delicate hands. The obsidian falcon ring left alone in the box was like a clown. Her charming voice made the auction go silent.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

A cold voice directly interrupted Lucini to continue speaking.

Originally still discussing the quality of the gems and jewelry, several businessmen who had originally intended to buy them looked at the voice, and all of them immediately shut up. The one who made the offer turned out to be Loria, one of the twelve deacons of the Business Alliance, and even Even Lucini on the stage was stunned for a moment. Will the deacon of Lolia's business alliance fall in love with such a jewelry that can only be regarded as a middle-class one? But when Lucini's eyes fell on the red-haired beauty next to Lolia, she felt relieved. According to her aesthetics, she had to admit that this tear of the moon was different from the red-haired beauty beside Lolia. It was a perfect match, but Luria's direct offer of the lowest price made Lucini feel a little dissatisfied. This was equivalent to directly blocking the price of the lot, unless anyone was willing to blatantly compete with the deacon.

"Three hundred thousand, is there a higher price? If not, this set of items belongs to... Lucini's seductive red lips opened slightly, and the sweet and sweet voice she spat out made everyone in the venue feel numb. , it is highly unlikely that the price of this lot will continue to increase. To be honest, Lucini was prepared to skip the usual practice of asking three times. She just wanted to auction this commissioned item immediately. Everyone in the auction house thought that no one would bid. At this moment, a voice came from the second floor. From the off-angle cubicle came “A million! ""One million? Did I hear that right? "The whole place was in an uproar. For a lot that was worth three to four hundred thousand yuan, the other party actually offered one million. Who is this fool? Everyone looked at the cubicle where the sound came from, but they were all disappointed. The curtain in the cubicle blocked everyone's view. Only a person could be vaguely seen sitting inside. "Interesting, the Loria family has been humiliated this time!" "There are also people who are whispering and gloating, "Who is that bastard! "Loriya's face was ashen, and she clenched her fingers together and made a clicking sound. As a business alliance deacon, the other party actually dared to open his mouth like a lion! What could have been taken away for at least 400,000 yuan was actually raised to 1 million. , isn’t this an obvious attempt to deceive yourself? His gloomy eyes swept over the auction items, especially the cracked obsidian falcon heraldry ring, as if his eyes were burning red with a soldering iron. No matter what, this thing must be taken back. In the eyes of caring people, what happened back then cannot be covered up. "One million and one million!" "

Loria looked at the second floor with fierce eyes, and the sound of gritting her teeth shook the auction house. He wanted to see who was messing with him and made him pay nearly 600,000 yuan more, which was more than double the price of the auction item.

Lorya actually bid!

Everyone was speechless. Everyone thought the person who made the offer was crazy, but who knew that Lolia was crazy too! They even followed up with a price offer!

Even Lucini on the stage, after being stunned for a while, suddenly looked in disbelief at the compartment where the sound had just come from. How could there be anyone there? As one of the people in charge of the auction house, Lucini is also considered to be a good dancer and has a certain relationship with the military. Naturally, she knows that the auction house has a unique compartment, and that compartment is vacant all year round. Only the real Only big shots are qualified, and today, someone came to the cubicle. As a One of the people in charge didn't even know about it. This meant that the identity of the visitor was something that even she was not qualified to know. A trace of unnoticeable excitement appeared in Lucini's eyes. She didn't expect a small ruby ​​ornament. He actually attracted such a big shot. Did he really make a mistake? Didn’t you realize that this is actually a peerless treasure? "Two million!" The voice burst out from the second-floor compartment again, making the whole place boil. "It's so awesome, you are simply mistaking money for money!" "Two million, just added it casually, even if it's Luo The Liya family is also terrible! "

Luoliya's increase in price was unexpected. She didn't expect that the other party would be even more ruthless. He casually added one million to the price. No one had seen such an extravagance even in the Imperial Capital, which spent a lot of money. Luoliya's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. teeth biting lips There was even a trace of blood. The thing that I thought I could easily take was actually messed with like this. The other party was basically slapping Lolia in the face in front of everyone in the audience. Was the other party targeting him, Lolia, or was he really? Is it inevitable to win Tears of the Moon God? "Stop competing with him. I'll arrange for someone to grab it later!" The red-haired Tie Hongluo took Loria's hand and whispered coldly, "This is a military auction house. What are you doing?" Rob?"

Loria glared at her woman fiercely. Tie Hongluo was good-looking, but his brain was weak. If he could snatch things at the military auction house, then the empire's auction house would have been in chaos a long time ago. There was no way it would be like this. The scale is from top to bottom, and here it represents the face of the Loria family. If I don't bid, the Loria family will become the laughing stock of the imperial capital tomorrow. For the sake of the Loria family's face, I will do whatever it takes. Fight hard

"Two million and three hundred thousand!" Lolia roared with a distorted face. Her fingers had already dug deeply into her palms, and there were bursts of heart-piercing pain. Two million and three hundred thousand, he didn't believe that the other party would bid again. If the other party If it is really aimed at the Loria family, then the other party will have to weigh it before continuing to bid. However, the consequences of Loria giving up the bid will lead to chaos in the military auction house. The price is, once found out, it will be a felony, and someone will be put directly in the death row guarded by the military. Unless the other party is crazy and wants to fight to death, if the other party is just someone sent by the enemy of the Loria family, a line of hundreds of thousands Jewelry, he blackmailed the Lolia family of 2.3 million, so his intention has been achieved, so let’s end it here!

"Haha, Lorlia is really embarrassed this time! I just don't know who the bidder is, otherwise I will definitely treat him to a drink."

There is already a lot of discussion in the auction house. Although Loria is powerful, there are still people sitting here who dare to compete with Loria. Now seeing Loria almost vomiting blood, she deliberately raised the business to a high level. In the highest private room on the third floor, a woman wearing an exquisite light red dress gracefully put down the red wine glass in her hand.

"What a pity! If the other party continues to raise the price, I dare say that Loliya will vomit blood on the spot!" Sitting opposite the beautiful young woman was a middle-aged man. "Two million and three hundred thousand, it would be irrational to continue to raise the price!" The corners of the beautiful young woman's smiling mouth slightly turned up, and her pretty face, like a marble sculpture, seemed to have a more three-dimensional sense. A green hairpin was inserted horizontally in her high bun. A dignified and gorgeous plain-dressed beauty stood in front of her. She was wearing a silver low-cut spaghetti-strap gold-embroidered dress, which showed her slender and curvy curves. She was wearing sandals decorated with beige diamonds on her feet. The ten petite and delicate red jade toes on her well-proportioned pink and white jade feet were sexy and charming. "Yes, adding one million in one breath was already the limit of dancing on the edge of a knife! Even I don't have such courage and guts." The middle-aged man looked at the second floor with admiration. Amid the humming and humming of the auction house, the second floor compartment made the same sound again. "It is said that the Loria family is rich enough to rival a country, so I will just bid a small amount of 5 million! If you don't dare to bid, get out of here and don't embarrass yourself here!"
