Reborn As a Pirate

body 0621 Unfair

At ten o'clock, the auction begins.

The master of ceremonies, Humphrey, came onto the stage from behind the stage. Following him, a cart covered with red velvet was also pushed to the center of the stage.

A waiter raised his hand to remove the red velvet, revealing a simple and colorful Buddha head.

"Gentlemen and ladies, today is the fourth session of the 25th Shelter Mountain Villa Auction, and the theme is [Rare Treasures]."

"Let's take a look at the first lot of this auction, apsaras, from the depths of the East Indian jungle, the stone-carved flying fairy Buddha head of the Khmer Queen's Palace in the ancient country..."

The voice of the master of ceremonies could hardly be heard in the background. At the corner of the stage, Lieutenant General Luis de Reyrano watched the scene in front of the stage silently through the gap in the curtain.

"How do you feel, Lieutenant General?" Alsace approached indifferently, and bowed with restrained politeness, "I mean, compared to the usual formal auctions, does Shelter Villa give you a refreshing look?"

"The method is very novel." Lieutenant General Reilano said with a blank expression, "I have never seen a venue specially designed for secret shooting. But I came across the ocean to the New World not for visiting, nor for exhibitions."

"Mr. Jin, when you convinced Mr. Minister, you promised to use an auction to solve our military expenditure gap in the next two years. We have given our full cooperation. Whether it is the previous accident or the subsequent publicity, we will follow your plan. The proposal is the best."

"But you seem to have exaggerated something in front of the minister. For example...the stone woman's head was unsold, and the rich man you invited doesn't seem to have such a strong desire to buy as you described."

"Facts speak louder than words, Your Excellency." Alsace did not rush to explain, "Your Navy's guarantee against fury is 60,000 gold louis, the expected value is 120,000 gold louis, and my promise to Mr. Minister is 80,000 gold The bottom line is guaranteed, and Morgan will make up for the shortfall in turnover, and commissions will only be deducted for the part exceeding 160,000."

"So from the moment Fury officially entered the stage of Sanctuary, the minimum requirements of your navy have actually been met. All you need to look forward to is a surplus. You can relax yourself."

"As for the deserted situation on the stage now... Ah, it seems that the second auction is about to pass, and that piece of jade in the stone has a chance to set off a climax... Who do you think is responsible for the situation where no one cares about the precious lot? ?”

Lieutenant General Leilano snorted dissatisfiedly: "Do you want to say that I caused it?"

"Rage was supposed to be the finale of all six auctions. The top chaebols came for it. They held a huge amount of money and became generous under the illusion of abundance. This is what I used seventeen meetings to convince Mr. Minister, The only reason for giving such a generous delivery condition."

Arthas lowered his head.

"However, Mr. Minister chose you to be the plenipotentiary representative of the Admiralty, and you were worried that the finale auction would increase the risk of encountering you and your acquaintances, forcing us to advance the fury and insert it into the middle of the fourth scene that had already been arranged."

"We no longer expect to make a profit this year. Before the fury comes on stage, the rich and distinguished guests will be tied up. After the furious competition is over, the enthusiasm of the distinguished guests will also be exhausted. We have already foreseen the arrival of a large-scale wave of outlying islands."

Lieutenant General Leilano's expression was 70% shocked. It was not that he felt guilty towards the Morgan Chamber of Commerce after his selfishness was exposed, but that he never imagined that this little American businessman would dare to complain to him so blatantly.

who is he?

He is a senior admiral of the great French navy, highly regarded, and has a bright future!

The great French navy has paid so much for this group of bumpkins from the New World, and it is even down to the point where it needs to resell the design drawings to maintain military supplies.

Doesn't this annoying American know how to be grateful?

How could there be such a brazen person in this world!

Leilano took a deep breath: "Mr. Jin, I think..."

"You don't have to apologize.

Alsace's interruption was just right, "We accepted your request to adjust the order of the auction. Before accepting it, we had already foreseen today's dismal situation." "

"But we're betting on the future, and like you, we're looking forward to the performance of Fury and its allure to create a fantastic sale that will take Sanctuary to the next level."

"The stakes are high, we just have to wait."

...

Two rounds of hammering, two rounds of shooting.

Even though a private auction in which the opponent cannot be seen has been created, and even though there are only a few bidders present who are really determined to be furious, the atmosphere of caution still uncontrollably rises, permeating the audience, pervasive.

Prudence may be the most unpopular virtue in the auction market. Once people are cautious, they will look forward and backward, and worry about gains and losses. As a result, the first two lots are obviously worthy of the theme of rare treasures, and the starting price released by the Morgan Chamber of Commerce is also worth the money. But in the end, they are all reduced to the point where no one cares about them.

Lorraine saw that the master of ceremonies was sweating on his forehead, and his high-pitched voice began to flutter. It was obvious that he was trying his best to mobilize the atmosphere.

In the middle of this embarrassing excitement, the second lot was pushed off the stage, and the third lot was pushed to the center of the stage covered with red velvet.

The waiter lifted the velvet to reveal the wooden bracket underneath. A pair of arm armor was embedded in the bracket. The length is probably slightly shorter than the forearm of ordinary people. The surface has been blackened and furred, which is neither conspicuous nor shiny.

Hannah's eyes lit up.

"Please look at the third lot today, the arm blade of the legendary assassin Altaïr Ibn Lahad."

"Altaïr was a Master Assassin who belonged to Assassin in the 12th century and one of the most famous Assassin mentors in the history of the Levant. Like all Assassins who died well, his whole life was a mystery, without any The information proves that he participated in any assassination activities."

"But he is a well-deserved master assassin. After his death, his arm blades were enshrined in the temple of the Levant fortress. Until the Eagle's Nest City was destroyed by the Mongolian Western Expedition, the pair of arm blades followed the remaining assassins. fled west until it fell into the hands of French collectors in 1358."

"It is worth mentioning that the Kingdom of Jerusalem briefly wanted Altaïr at the end of the 12th century, and this wanted time was similar to the assassination of King Conrad of Jerusalem. Some collectors insisted that Altaïr assassinated Conrad Assassin of Germany, although there is no more powerful proof, but in some areas, this pair of arm blades is still called the blood of the saints by rumored believers."

"Now, the blood of Assassin's arm blade saints, the starting price is 4,400 pounds, and the price increases by 500 pounds each time. Bidding, start!"

Silence pervaded again.

In the box, Hana stared straight at Lorraine, neither speaking nor moving.

Lorraine couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Do you want to?"

"Um."

"If you want, let Edley light the lamp."

"But our funds are very dangerous. Although I don't quite understand it, I also know that 5,000 pounds may decide the outcome."

"You are right to worry." Lorraine thought for a while, but decided to tell the truth, "5,000 pounds is likely to determine whether we can stand out in the furious competition. After all, this time the opponent is not someone else. Old Dukov is ours. An old friend of mine, that guy never makes sense when it comes to spending money."

"Assassin's arm blade, the blood of the saints, the starting price is 4,400 pounds, anyone offer?"

"The starting price is 4,400 pounds. The legendary weapon that assassinated King Conrad of Jerusalem is said to be. Does anyone have an offer?"

"Assassin's arm blade is the blood of the saints, the weapon of the legendary assassin Altaïr ibn Lahad, Assassin's weapon of faith, the countdown to the final offer!"

The emcee's dry agitation came from the stage, and Hana's eyes shone with light.

Lorraine suddenly pulled out the baffle of the yellow light.

"No. 7! The asking price for box No. 7, Assassin's arm is the blood of the saints, box No. 7 is 4,400 pounds! Is there a higher offer!"

The tone of the master of ceremonies tore through the dome, and the soft orange light drove away the haze in the box.

Lorraine smiled softly under the light.

He said softly: "Although slapping the arm blade may lead to a furious failure, I prefer to make you smile more than to satisfy the desires of those lords in the Admiralty."

"Assassin Arm Blade Saint's Blood, 4400 pounds per time!"

"The magic weapon of the legendary assassin Altai, 4400 pounds twice!"

"Altaïr Ibn Lahad's arm blade, 4,400 pounds, sold! Congratulations to the VIPs in box No. 7, 4,400 pounds for lot 3!"

Sporadic applause rang out, and Carmen pursed her lips and pulled out a handkerchief to cover Henna's face with a look of displeasure.

"Tch! It's not fair..."
