Reborn As a Pirate
Six hundred and thirteenth, the whip of God
Body 0613 God's Whip
Through the long and dark corridor, Lorraine and his party walked into the private room.
The construction of the auction venue resembles a theater, except that the seats are omitted, and the huge echoing wall is pushed directly in front of the three rows of private rooms like the Longmen Grotto.
The balcony of the private room has an outer fence, or it may be an inverted step. In short, Lorraine can't see the content of any of the front, rear, left, and right rooms. The only thing presented in front of him is the stage, and only the stage.
At this point, Lorraine estimated that the bidders had already become numb to those small means of protecting privacy, at least he himself was numb, and instead focused more on the decoration of the box.
The decor is very comfortable.
The dark tone is composed of thick carpets and cotton wallpapers, taking into account softness and sound insulation. Whether it is sofas, bar counters or configured drinks and snacks, the decorations inside do not seek to win with luxury, but focus on comfort and deliciousness.
Lorraine felt more and more that the Morgan Chamber of Commerce was a genius in selling experience, always knew the limit of his ability, and always had a way to make people feel his dedication within the limit.
In their hands, cheap services are exchanged for high-quality enjoyment, even if they are not top-notch in any field, it is enough for people to find no faults.
The box clock ticked steadily to ten o'clock, and there was no chime. Only a blonde woman in a bright red dress stepped onto the stage.
She was very beautiful, with blond wavy hair hanging on her waist and back. She had a tall figure with a pair of plump long legs, which set off her broad but slender shoulders and arms, and highlighted her plump breasts and buttocks.
In contrast, her facial features are mediocre, with big eyes, high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and exquisite makeup. That kind of ordinary beauty can be found everywhere in the upper class social circle, especially when it contrasts with her unusually hot figure, it is even more difficult to attract people. leave an impression.
Gentlemen and ladies, the 25th Shelter Hills Auction is about to begin. Her voice was soft and melodious, and her hidden trill seemed to be able to entangle the heart, I am Susan Morgan, the patriarch of the Morgan family. , sincerely thank you for your presence, and hope that Morgan can bring you an unforgettable two-day journey.”
Lorraine heard a suppressed exclamation.
Susan Morgan is the youngest patriarch in the century-old history of the Morgan family and the first legendary matriarch.
It is said in the world that she inherited the family business at the young age of 12. In the following two years, a total of 7 relatives died unexpectedly, and at least 4 suitors were either dead or disabled.
She is the only common beneficiary of these accidents, and it is through these accidents that she grasped the real power of this century-old family as quickly as possible, and became a real Ms. Morgan at the age of 14.
As far as Lorraine knows, this should have happened about fourteen or five years ago. Throughout the years she has been in charge of the family, Ms. Morgan can only be regarded as a well-behaved patriarch.
The Chamber of Commerce has not expanded, and its business has limited growth. As a business-oriented family, the patriarch does not preside over the guild, nor does he preside over the overall situation in the social circle.
She wasn't even married. Because of the tragic fate of several suitors when she was young, she got the nickname of Diamond Black Widow for no reason, and she seemed to have no intention of clarifying it.
Susan Morgan is such a strange woman, with all kinds of anecdotes gathered in her body, which made her easily become as hot a topic as Lorraine in high society.
However, Lorraine heard about her for the first time ten years ago, and heard about it countless times before and after, but it was not until today that she saw the real deity in person for the first time.
She stood in the center of the stage and said: As the host, I should have introduced the history of the Shelter Auction to you in concise words, or babbled about the family history like everyone who has been descended from the ancestors. Brilliance... However, I know you have no interest in these.
Everyone comes here for only one purpose, and that is to get the auction items you want. So let's make a long story short. I announce that the first round of the 25th Shelter Mountain Villa Auction will begin.
Scattered applause rang out,
Susan bowed to the applause and exited, and the other end of the stage quickly walked up to the master of ceremonies wearing swallowtails and stood firmly on the stage markers.
Gentlemen and ladies, I am the master of ceremonies of this auction, Humphrey. Now let's invite the first lot, Breda's Golden Knife.
In 432 AD, the tribes of the Huns were unified under the conquest of Khan Lujia. Two years later, Lujia died and appointed Attila the Whip of God and his elder brother Bleda to succeed him as emperors.
Two years later, that is, in 436, Bleda was framed by Attila and died in the battle of Constantinople. His golden knife and helmet became the collection of the Gerafi family, governor of the eastern province of Byzantium. All the way to Genoa with the fall of the Roman Empire.
In 1466, the Gerafi family was destroyed by bandits, Bleda's golden helmet was lost, and the golden knife reappeared on the black market three years later.
In 1522, the Golden Knife was officially named Bleda Knife. In 1557, due to poor maintenance, the Knife underwent a major repair, replacing the third and seventh gemstones on the handle, and the blade was polished to incorporate 2 grams of nickel. , 17 grams of steel, although the original style is generally maintained, but the collection value has seriously declined.
In 1646, Mr. Beverlys, the owner at the time, hired the blacksmith Oguyes to create a scabbard for the golden knife, and re-enhance its value through luxurious materials and retro classic design. It was auctioned in Paris in 1649. The highest price in history of 5,500 gold louis.
Then Lot No. 1, the Golden Knife of Bleda the Great of the Huns, the starting price is 3,600 pounds, with an additional price of 150 pounds per round. Please show your lights and make an offer!
At this time, Lorraine's box.
Lorraine flicked through the auction catalog boredly: The highest price is 5,500 pounds, and the starting price is 3,600 pounds. That means the value of this knife has declined in the past 140 years, right?
Carmen explained on the side: Ogues became famous at a young age. When he was young, he was famous in the jewelry circle for his retroism. However, in his later years, he became one of the biggest opponents of retroism, and even his early works were refuted. Not worth it. This is probably the main reason why the value of the Golden Knife has dropped.”
Negation from the designer? Lorraine glanced at Heina, Golden Knife, are you interested?
Haina snorted: A knife that hasn't seen blood in 1200 years is not a murder weapon, it's a toy.
The introduction said that the maintenance is not bad, but the gold content is too high, and it is a bit overweight. Lorraine shrugged, Adrey, the yellow light.
Edley responded, and picked up the baffle to cover the red light.
I just heard the master of ceremonies say: 3750 pounds, No. 5, No. 6, No. 9, No. 12, No. 18, No. 27. The second round of lighting...
The progress of the dark shooting is actually faster than that of the bright shooting. Under the command of the master of ceremonies, the second round and the third round.
Lorraine learned from the master of ceremonies that the number of the box is not the same as the number of the pier. For example, Lorraine is on the 17th pier, but the box is No. 9, and it is very likely that it will change every time you attend the conference.
At the same time, the boxes are not allocated sequentially. Lorraine knew that there were only 24 groups of general participants, but there were 30 boxes, and number 27 was also among the bidders for the golden knife.
From the point of view of old people talking again, these measures are still for privacy, but from the point of view of malice, as the only insider, the organizer, the Morgan Chamber of Commerce, can completely let in the bidders who are not within the scope of invitation, such as Lorraine It is impossible for the invitees to notice anything.
The bidding entered the fourth round, 4,200 pounds, and there were still 4 companies that maintained the yellow light. Lorraine waved his hand boredly, and Edley immediately turned the baffle to yellow.
The master of ceremonies shouted on the stage: 4350 pounds, No. 6, No. 18, the fifth round of lights!
Give up on the 18th! £4,500, and ask for £4,500 on the 6th! Are there any other bidders?
The golden knife of Bleda the Hun, the blood brother of Attila the whip of God, the leading token of the great empire, and a legendary relic that has been passed down for 1400 years! Is there a higher bid?
4,500 pounds on the 6th! 4,500 once, 4,500 twice, 4,500...deal!
Congratulations to the bidder for Box No. 6, the golden knife of Bleda the Hun, 4,500 pounds! It's yours now!
