Within the auction house.

Richard, Pandora, Gro and Gro's guards walked into the auction venue and walked into a box on the upper floor of the venue according to the guidelines.

The box is not small, there are more than ten square meters, and there are several soft and comfortable seats. Pandora arrogantly occupies the largest one and yawns on it and starts sleeping. Richard and Gro, had to choose two smaller ones, Gro's guards stood around.

Pulling the curtain on the side of the box, Richard looked out, looking down at the entire auction venue, and found it to be exquisite.

The entire auction venue is not very large. After all, there are not many people who can participate in the auction, either aristocrats or rich people. However, the venue is not too small, with almost 300 seats, plus some boxes, can accommodate nearly 350 people, fully meet the needs. At this time, more than half of the seats in the venue were all seated. There was a lot of talk, and it was hilarious.

Gro in the box said: "Basically, they came for the'test-free voucher'. Originally they wanted to get it by snatching, but they all failed. They had to sit down honestly and compete with their financial resources. Last night, every family suffered losses. I heard that even some bloodlines of the heirs were killed. It is inevitable that there will be anger. It will be a good show to wait for a while."

Richard glanced at a seemingly gloating Gro, and said: "You don't worry, these people and you are robbing you of the "exemption certificate"? Since they are all angry, then in a rage, they throw a lot of money "exemption test The voucher's auction won't let you get one, what should you do?"

"Oh, just them?" Gro is slightly disdainful. "Although they are all small families and have a lot of money. But most of the money must be spent on daily expenses to keep the family running. OK, not much can really come out.

If I can mortgage the territory, real estate, shop, I really dare not compare with them, but the auction house does not accept real objects, only accept the official gold coins of the Emerald Kingdom. Speaking of gold coins, I really don’t know who can be more than me. I am a prince. It stands to reason that the entire Emerald Kingdom has a part of me. Isn’t there as many gold coins as you want? "

"Alas." Gro thought of something suddenly, and sighed, "It's a pity that it wasn't earlier. I heard that when the Emerald Kingdom was still powerful earlier, the words of the royal family were much better than they are now. If you really have something like a "test-free certificate", you don’t need money at all, just one sentence, the following nobles will be obediently dedicated to the royal family. Unfortunately, the power of the royal family is weakened a lot, and the nobles are becoming more disobedient. But even so, I have the confidence to smash them with gold coins."

"So, are you going to auction all three'test-free certificates'?"

"I do have this idea." Gro smiled slightly, confidently, and looked at Richard. "But if you want one, you will naturally give it to you."

"No, you just want to." Richard said with a smile.

"Eh..." Gro only thought that Richard was polite and didn't think much.

Richard continued to look out of the box, and he saw that he was able to speak, the number of people in the auction venue was much larger, and the attendance rate had reached almost 60%.

Then 70%...

80%...

After 80%, the number of people entering the venue began to decrease, and eventually reached about 80%, and it no longer increased.

This is no wonder, after all, it is impossible for all the nobles in the entire Jade Gold City to come here. Eighty-five percent of them are already nearly three hundred people, which is an extremely terrifying number.

At this time, an auctioneer in a black dress and about fifty years old appeared, stepped onto a high platform in the auction center, and tapped the gavel on the table. Without much nonsense, he directly said: "The auction begins!"

It's quiet until the audience.

"You have the first auction item," the auctioneer said simply. "This is a miniature stone statue from the famous carving master Habaks."

When the auctioneer finished, someone walked up to the stage with a tray and showed a pink miniature stone statue a dozen centimeters tall to everyone. I saw that it was like a girl, and the carvings were lifelike. No matter the facial expressions, realistic facial features, or raised breasts, the tight thighs had no flaws. It is a fine workmanship in craftsmanship, and it can be seen that the author has spent a lot of effort.

"Master Habax, the name of this statue has become the girl of dreams, is his latest work in the past six months, absolutely satisfy many people's imagination of the dream lover. Whether it is placed at home as a decoration, or in leisure time It's good to play." The auctioneer pointed at the stone statue and exaggerated, then announced: "The statue's starting price is 5 gold coins, and each time the price increase is not less than 20 silver coins."

"Okay, is anyone asking?" the auctioneer asked, waiting for everyone to bid.

The method of asking for a price is also simple. Everyone has a number plate. If the number plate is raised once, it means a price increase. Of course, you can also directly call out the number of price increases.

Gro's number plate is number 1, and Richard's number plate is number 2.

Richard guessed that this was definitely not a coincidence, it should be the auction behavior to please Gro, and he specially left the smallest number plate to Gro. This also shows from a certain angle that Gro is regarded as the highest-ranking person in the entire auction.

The reason why Gro is confident is to auction all three "test-free certificates". There is no other reason.

Thinking of these, Richard looked at the auction hall with interest and watched everyone's reaction, but found it very deserted.

Not only is it deserted, it is simply dead, for more than a minute, no one bids. The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became weird and awkward.

This is not because of the garbage of the statue. According to the quality of the statue, only 5 gold coins are sold, which is already a low price. After all, when Richard bought a huge ruby, he spent 100 gold coins. The nobles remained silent because most of them came with "exemption certificates" and did not want to waste money on any "dream girl", nor did they want to waste a gold coin.

As a result, the first product of the auction will soon be sold.

The auctioneer on the stage looked a little ugly, and many aristocrats were uncomfortable.

The auctioneer wiped the sweat from his face, took a deep breath, and was preparing to announce the result reluctantly. At this moment, Richard raised a sign and quoted the price.

"No. 2! One price increase, 5 gold coins and 20 silver coins!" The auctioneer immediately shouted, and the muscles on his face were shaking with excitement. "On the 2nd time, did anyone increase the price?"

"No. 2 twice, 5 gold coins and 20 silver coins. Has anyone increased the price?" the auction shouted.

"Three times on the 2nd, 5 gold coins and 20 silver coins. Has anyone increased the price? No, that's good, the deal!" The auctioneer finally settled, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the stone statue sold 5 gold coins and 20 silver coins for almost no money, it at least avoided the awkward scene of the auction. Taking into account the pros and cons, the auctioneer waved his hand and asked the staff to send things to Richard and Gro's box.

Originally, according to the principle, the payment of goods was generally not carried out until the end of the auction, but that was the system established in the modern auction. In the Middle Ages where the auction system was basically imperfect, how was it convenient? .

Soon, things were delivered to the box, and Richard Lisuo paid.

Gro looked at Richard strangely and asked in a puzzled voice: "Your Excellency, what use do you want this thing for?"

"Yeah, I just like it. The price is not expensive anyway." Richard said.

"Well, okay." Gro no longer asked.

In fact, the reason why Richard auctioned down the stone statue ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is naturally not because he likes it, nor can he like it. The real reason is that Li Cha took a fancy to the stone carving material-pink stone.

Richard doubts that this pink stone is not ordinary material, but manganese zoisite. Manganese zoisite is a variant of zoisite, which is pink because it is rich in manganese.

Richard auctioned the stone statues to prepare them to crush them and extract the manganese elements. After all, because of the use of a portion of manganese because of the production of cobalt blue glass, the reserves are already insufficient and need to be replenished in time.

Naturally, there is a suspicion of buying beads for such behavior, but Richard does not care.

Compared to stone statues, Li Cha feels that the scarce manganese element is more precious. Without the need to invest a lot of energy to find it, it is completely worth more than 5 gold coins.

Richard thought this way, put away the pink stone statue and looked out of the box.

At the venue, the auction continued.
