Extraordinary Sailing

Phalatis capital, Bekele.

Business and culture are flourishing, and the foreign population is gradually increasing. It is vaguely about to replace Santa Cruz as the new central city of the Yuan mainland.

"Guests, please take a look, no matter the shape, color, or size of the flower, this blooming 'Sunset Star' is a rare treasure.

The most precious thing about it is that the tulips, which normally bloom only in April, are now in full bloom because they were carefully cultivated in the glass greenhouse. Perhaps it is also uniquely beautiful among all countries! "

The auctioneer, wearing a white shirt and a red bow tie, tried his best to promote the auction, but he also managed to attract the attention of all the buyers on the stage.

There is a pot of beautiful tulips blooming delicately.

The height is about 50 cm, and it has fully double petals with a diameter of 12 cm. The bowl-shaped flowers show a gradient color from white to purple-pink from the outside to the inside, and there are silvery stardust growing naturally on the petals.

On the whole, it really looks like a sunset decorated with brilliant stars, which is too beautiful to behold.

Many of the female guests present at the auction house were gradually short of breath looking at it, wishing they could immediately take this magnificent tulip for themselves.

Seeing the reactions of the guests, the auctioneer nodded in satisfaction, adding fuel to the restlessness of the guests.

"Experts should know that in the process of tulip cultivation, special new varieties can often be bred by using some naturally cracked bulbs, and finally unique and beautiful flowers are born.

But this remarkable mutation can only be passed on through bulbs, not seeds.

As long as you can get this complete 'Sunset Star', it means that you have got a unique tulip variety in the world!

Presumably many people have heard that the price of a rare tulip in the "Low Countries" just across the sea has been raised to such an extent.

Alright, without further ado, the starting price is ten golden lions, and the price increases by one each time, and the auction begins! "

"Fifteen!"

"Twenty pieces!"

"."

As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, the guests couldn't wait to start bidding.

In just a dozen confrontations, the price has risen to an astonishing one hundred golden lions, which is equivalent to the price of a high-quality war horse.

But no matter how beautiful the lot is, it is just a tulip with a flowering period of only ten days. Is it really worth so much money?

Some customers gradually regained their rationality, and the asking prices gradually eased.

"Is there any more bids? One hundred and ten pieces! One hundred."

The auctioneer is already very satisfied with the price, thanks to the east wind blowing from the "Low Countries".

Otherwise, in the past, it would have been difficult to sell such a precious tulip for twenty golden lions.

Overjoyed, he was about to knock down the auction hammer.

Suddenly, another clear voice sounded in the field:

"Five hundred!"

The entire auction hall, which was filled with people, was suddenly silent, and needles could be heard.

"Oh, the Goddess is here!"

Hearing that number, many of the buyers in the venue who thought they were rich were almost suffocated by it.

You know, this price is enough to buy a large apartment in the capital of Bekele.

Trade it for a flower?

Is this the happiness of the rich?

Boom——!

The auction hammer fell heavily.

The auctioneer's screams have broken down:

"Congratulations to the guests in Box No. 6! You are now the owner of 'Sunset Starlight'!"

Ten minutes later, the auction came to an end.

But none of the guests left, they all stared eagerly at box No. 6, wanting to see who is this rich and powerful master?

Soon, there was no VIP passage in the box.

Under the attentive service of the waiter, a tall and majestic figure in a black military uniform walked out first.

Followed by a tall female companion wearing a long white dress and silver high heels, who is full of girlishness but has a charming charm.

And that brilliant tulip "Sunset Star" has been picked directly and inserted into her temples, like a magnificent scene in the world, the delicate flowers are too beautiful to behold.

The girl took the tall figure's arm and walked out all the way without looking sideways.

It wasn't until they disappeared at the end of the aisle that everyone looked away slowly in a sense of loss.

At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted softly:

"They... they seem to be the Grand Duke and Duchess of Garriott!"

Aiwen rose from a "all on his own" naval soldier in his early years. He has long been a well-known legend in the alliance, and his fans are everywhere.

Every year, the major newspapers have extensive reports, which have even become sales guarantees. There are not too many people in the kingdom who know what he looks like.

"The relationship between His Majesty St. Ivan and his wife is so good."

"Only such a treasure is worthy of the Duchess's beauty!"

It is said that nobles from all over the world are extremely fond of tulips, but it is impossible to imagine that they are so popular. They really spend a lot of money just to win the beauty.

But after feeling lost, they felt that this should be the case.

Just like giving a sword to a hero, to win the favor of the Garriotts, that "sunset star" is not in vain.

"Well, I have always had maritime trade with the lowlands. If the news of the grand duke spending a lot of money for his wife spreads today, the 'tulip contract' over there will probably go crazy."

"Unfortunately, we are not in the Lowland Republic, so we can't get a share of the pie."

"."

But these people with different minds don't know.

The duke and duchess' romance, sensational celebrity, and divine assist for the Low Republic tulip business.

The price Ivan paid for it was only 3% of the auction fee.

Because he is also the commissioned auctioneer, the new variety cultivated by the glass greenhouse is just a new leaf picked from the side of the road.

"careful."

Ai Wen thoughtfully helped his wife board the luxurious carriage that had already been waiting at the entrance of the auction house.

With sharp ears and eyes, they heard the conversation in the auction room clearly, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.

previously.

Ivan followed Jeros to visit his [Witchcraft Garden], which is the same as the city of Poseidia and has obvious characteristics of ancient civilizations.

Except for the [Regenerated Doll] that has been freely used by Jeros, there are not many high-end technical materials left here, but only those imprinted murals and sculptures also contain valuable information.

Aiwen easily confirmed that the "Scavenger" who looks like a biological weapon is indeed very likely to be related to the Muria civilization!

But when I left, I was very surprised to see a few bouquets of rare tulips planted in [Witchcraft Garden Uruk Great Temple].

As a regional feature in a small area, this flower is not common in other places.

I asked Jeros casually, and learned about the quietly rising trend of tulips.

He also deliberately found the [Faceless Man] who had infiltrated the lowland area, after verifying such "irrelevant" fringe news.

Aiwen paid great attention to it, and immediately took Olivia on a cross-continental trip.

Then there was the scene just now.

"I thought you would take advantage of the high price of tulips to artificially spawn countless tulip bulbs and make a fortune."

Sitting side by side in the carriage, Olivia took off the tulip worth a thousand dollars and played with it in her hands.

"Hahaha, where is this going? Now it's just a sign, and the good show is still to come."

"Hey, do you think the price of tulips will continue to rise? Even if we buy this kind of luxury with a very short shelf life, we can't even blink our eyes. If the price is higher, someone will really pay for it?"

Olivia played with tulips, and Aiwen played with the cute little hands of a girl like Mingyu, and explained with a smile:

"You only know one thing but don't know the other. At this point, buying tulip bulbs is no longer consumption, but investment.

The value of the tulip itself is no longer important. As long as there are people chasing after it and others taking over, its price will continue to rise all the way, even if it is five or six times higher than it is today.

Moreover, [Faceless Man] reported that Constance Harlan, the prime minister of the Republic who just came to power, has opened up low-interest loans to the people in order to boost the economy.

Guess now that the price of tulips is so high, the citizens of the republic who hold a lot of money in their hands will invest their money in industries, or"

Boo!

Olivia, who quickly grasped Aiwen's consciousness, couldn't help but put her arms around her husband's neck, leaving several red hickeys on his cheeks one after another:

"Heck, darling, you look so handsome doing bad things!"

But the girl still didn't believe in the five or six times the price that Aiwen said. How stupid would a person be to believe that a flower is worth so much money!

"Hessie, why don't we make a bet? Just guess the final price of tulips."

"Oh? What are you betting on?"

Ai Wen lowered his head with a smirk and whispered a few words to the girl, which immediately made the Duchess's fair and jade-like dimple blush.

The breeze blew past the window of the carriage, vaguely as if saying something:

"Cat's ears. Maid outfit. Desert-style dancer skirt. Military uniform with extraordinary locks" and so on, the meanings are clear separately, but when combined, it is completely incomprehensible, um, completely incomprehensible.

In the following days, apart from promoting various construction projects in the country and keeping an eye on the movement across the sea, Aiwen's life was very fulfilling.

After conquering "Mother of Water" Melo and "Lady Crow" Yeher one after another, almost all the spiritual origin and various resources of the entire north fell into his hands.

With a sufficient supply of resources, the most important use of the massive [World Favored] in his hands is no longer to directly improve his strength.

From returning from heaven in November last year to the beginning of March next year, it took a total of more than three months.

With the help of the biggest research achievement of [The World Favors], Aiwen finally completed one of the iconic spells of senior wizards-[Magic Eye].

Swish——!

Opening his eyes suddenly, rows of green data flashed quickly in the black pupils.

【Spell-like magic eye of insight】

Like Olivia's [Magic Eye of True Sight], they are both non-aggressive magic eyes, but one is more inclined to microcosm, and the other is more inclined to macrocosm.

Effect: Incorporate the "digital vision" brought by soul travel into it, and connect the eyes to the "root of the world".

Initially able to see the essence through phenomena, insight into weaknesses, all types of passwords, text interpretation, capture all forms of information (biological pheromones, infrasound waves, warning colors), discover the context of things, development trends, etc.

Specific applications require a little experimentation.

Although it has no direct combat power, it can be called an artifact for adventurers who focus on searching for secrets.

And now the unknown thing he is most interested in is the control core from the "Scavenger", using the [Magic Eye of Insight] to take a look may yield unexpected gains.

However, Ai Wen just pulled things out.

But suddenly received a message from "Snake Witch" Saila:

"Aiwen, the 'Holy Stone Council' of Celebes Island has issued the highest-level convening motion.

It is said that Mr. Memnon Watt, the chief and crowned wizard of the "Alchemy School" who has always lived reclusively, will also attend, and there are important things to be announced. Are you going to attend? I can sign up for you. "
