Lord of the North
Chapter 161 Bidding
Afterwards, several auction items of low value came to the stage. The best one was a stone sculpture by a master human sculptor, which fetched a high price of 1,600 gold coins.
Jason in the room on the second floor was about to fall asleep, and the bosses who were also on the second floor didn't speak, because the real valuable things hadn't appeared yet, but the people in the arena were still enthusiastic.
In Zola's words, there is still a long time to wait until they start bidding, and it is more practical to sleep first, so she has already fallen asleep lying next to her.
But Jason looked at the dozen or so empty bottles in front of her, and was a little worried about whether she would be able to get up in a while.
Lancelot and Morando were still in the state when they entered the door. They stood there with their eyes closed, motionless, and Jason was a little impressed.
"The next auction item was consigned by a customer at our auction house, but we don't know what it will do. The customer asked for a starting price of 800 gold coins, with each increase being no less than 50 gold coins. Now start the auction."
Several strong men in the background pushed out a car with force, and from their appearance, it was clear that the weight of this auction item was not light.
Apris introduced it to everyone with a smile, and walked to the side of the auction item and uncovered the red cloth, revealing a stone carving about half a person tall, engraved with words or symbols of unknown meaning.
Immediately after this product came out, countless people discussed it. Even the big shots on the second floor seemed to be interested. Some figures in several rooms even stood up and carefully looked at the auction items below.
But no one bid, because they were not sure what the stone was for.
In another room on the second floor, Violet was here with the old butler Bolton. When the stone carving was pushed out, she immediately couldn't sit still.
Violet looked at the stone carvings in the field with a face full of disbelief, murmuring words like impossible.
"Miss, what's the matter?" the old butler couldn't help but asked out loud, he hadn't seen anything that could make Violet lose his composure except for the matter about Jason.
"Wait, let me take a closer look."
Violet calmed down her mood well, seriously and slowly gathered the light, she wanted to strengthen her eyesight with extraordinary power, and carefully observe this stone carving.
"Is no one raising the price?" April looked at the scene a little quiet, and continued to ask with a smile,
It seems that this time the goal was not achieved.
Ulysses was also sitting in a corner, surrounded by several guards, quietly observing the situation here with a calm expression, but his clenched hands indicated that his mood might not be as simple as it appeared on the surface.
"Since this is the case, then this precious auction item will be unsold."
It seems that no one knows the origin of this stone carving, let alone deciphering the words and mysteries on it. April and Ulysses in the distance both sighed secretly.
"Nine hundred gold coins."
At this time, the voice of the old butler suddenly sounded, causing an uproar in an instant. Someone wants this kind of unknown origin, whether it is true or not?
"Nine hundred gold coins! This guest offered nine hundred gold coins. Is there any price increase?"
April immediately evoked a smile when he heard the words, and continued to mobilize the atmosphere of the auction emotionally.
In the dark, Ulysses' eyes sparkled even more. He called one of his subordinates and asked softly, "Who is in that room?"
"Probably Miss Violet Kyle of the Kyle family and her old servant."
After looking at it for a while, the subordinates replied that most of the people in these rooms could guess who they were, after all, they were relatively famous people.
However, they would not be able to recognize people like Zola who suddenly changed their identities and ran over. After all, their auction still has a little shadow of the black market, and people can't recognize their real identities at a glance.
"The Kyle family..."
Ulysses touched a ring on his hand and muttered to himself, this family is not that easy to deal with, and there is an old butler beside Violet who is a strong earth knight.
In Jason's room on the other side, Jason was wondering what the origin of this stone carving could attract Violet's hand, because he was too familiar with the voice of the old housekeeper.
"Not quite right."
At this time, the drunken Zola suddenly sat up, staring straight at the field with both eyes.
"Aren't you drunk? Why haven't you fallen asleep yet?" Jason stared in surprise and asked. Didn't this guy pass out just now?
"Which eye of yours heard me say I was drunk?"
Zola turned her head and sprayed at him, the smell of alcohol in her mouth made Jason unacceptable.
I didn't hear either eye, I saw it, Jason cursed inwardly, and said that he was not drunk, so he couldn't speak clearly.
"Hey, don't you think there's something wrong with them?" Zora asked again, but the state was still as if she hadn't woken up.
"Is something wrong there?"
Jason asked suspiciously, it's normal.
"They seem to be very concerned about this auction item at the Heshouhui." Zola licked her lips, squinted her eyes and said with a smile.
"Do you care? It's normal to try to sell your own products to avoid losses!"
Jason thought about it, and didn't think there was anything wrong with what the auction house did.
"That's because you don't understand this kind of auction. According to the usual situation, they never ask a few more questions about an auction item that no one cares about. Buy it back, but not this time."
Zola looked at Jason meaningfully, with provocation in her eyes: "Your little girlfriend is in danger."
"I have to find a way to remind her." Jason's face was gloomy. Hearing Zola's words, he also had a bad feeling in his heart, and now he was in trouble.
"It's full of kashoukai people outside, how do you remind her?" Zola put her feet on the table and asked with a smile.
"Help me find a way." Jason was a little anxious.
"It's useless even if you remind her at this time, she's already being targeted, and it's up to me at this time." Zola laughed and slammed the table.
"Fifteen hundred gold coins!"
"You?" Jason looked at her in surprise.
"Of course I need to help her share some of her attention at this time." Zola spread her hands helplessly.
"Remember to ask your little girlfriend to return the money to me when the time comes."
"This guest offered 1,500 gold coins! Is there any further price increase?"
Apris on the stage felt that this trick of deciphering the secrets of the stone carvings by others was really clever.
"Miss, what should we do?" the old butler looked at Violet and asked.
"Continue to increase the price." Violet said calmly.
"Sixteen hundred gold coins!"
"two thousand!"
Zola added 400 gold coins at a time, in order to express her determination, and hoped that Violet could retreat in spite of difficulties, but because she drank alcohol, her voice didn't sound like her original voice, so Violet Didn't realize it was her.
Just like that, the voices of the old housekeeper and Zola kept increasing the price in the hall, and everyone could only watch the two rich men bid there, staring blankly, because they couldn't see the value of the stone carving at all, so they didn't dare to raise the price rashly.
