The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes

Chapter 154: There's an auction tonight

If it wasn't for the person sitting across from him who was related to his family, Charles would definitely have smashed the parchment on the table into his face.

He took a deep breath, calmed down, picked up the futures contract on the table and looked at it again.

After letting go of the contract, Charles looked at the old man with white hair and wrinkled face sitting across from him, and couldn't help sighing again.

"Is the days of the Harvest Temple so sad?" Charles asked helplessly.

The old man nodded bitterly, "Yes, this is a crystal purchased with our church's last savings. Of course, if it works properly, we can still complete the transaction in the contract."

"Why is this..." Charles sighed again.

Then he said, "Bishop John, you must know my relationship with the Temple of Harvest."

Before the butler brought the bishop, he temporarily gave Charles some historical knowledge.

Bishop John nodded.

Charles said to Aunt Aalto, who was standing behind him, "Give him a high price."

Aunt Aalto took out a large bag of gold coins, and respectfully placed them in front of Bishop John. Although he is very down, he is also a priest.

"Thank you for your kindness." Bishop John said, "Our church is on the shore 30 kilometers downstream. We look forward to your visit when you are free."

After two polite words, Bishop John hurriedly left with the purse.

Charles sat there, picked up a crystal of the third meeting from the table and played with it, while thinking. After leaving home, he walked all the way, and the more he walked, the more he realized that something was wrong, because there were very few churches at the grassroots level for the Temple of Forging, and there were even fewer churches in the Temple of Harvest.

It stands to reason that in this agricultural society, the Harvest Temple should be extremely prosperous.

Although the God of Forging and the God of Harvest have gone to develop the western region for more than 300 years, the Temple of Forging is still doing well with its technical background. There is no reason for the Temple of Harvest to be so miserable.

After burying this question in his heart, Charles continued to look at the futures contract in front of him. The five-day ten-centimeter-sized super-grade Dream Blue Crystal is ten pieces, and the price is three times the current price. He didn't even know what to say about this. Bishop John was too honest. His honesty made him want to hit people. This was the lowest futures contract he had seen today.

Now the cargo ships that deliver crystals arrive every four or five days, and then unload barrels of crystals in wooden barrels. Most of these barrels are finely divided crystals that can only be used as pigments, and those that can be made into jewelry are mixed.

No one knows how many pigments and how many crystals above the third grade can be hyped in a wooden barrel, but this does not prevent those red-eyed businessmen from coming up with various ways of playing.

At noon, Charles got a chance to go out and show his face, but he just pretended to go out in a low-key manner.

When the carriage carrying Charles and others passed by the port area, Charles saw from the lifted curtain that many people were buying barrels of crystals from the cargo ship that had just arrived.

Not far from the cargo ship, there is a special place for these people to screen the crystals in the barrels. A row of one-meter-square sieves is prepared there. The person who bought the crystal bucket pours the crystals in the wooden bucket into it. After sieving out the crystals that can only be used as pigments, there are enough crystals left on the sieve of good quality. And those crystals that can only be used as pigments are bought by people from porcelain workshops at very low prices.

According to Lorenzo's request, Charles asked Mordred to take the money for ten consecutive draws, and then got several special prizes.

"You and Arturia should share this." Charles said to Mordred, who returned to the carriage with a few crystals.

Just when they were about to go to the next destination, a "pop" sounded, and the people around said sadly that another bankrupt committed suicide by diving, and then waving their money bags to continue to "bet the bucket".

On the way, Charles suddenly felt someone watching him. Through the curtains of the car window, he saw a pair of "Mount Everest" that he had seen before.

Aunt Leif, who hid her horns, smiled at Charles in the carriage, then turned and disappeared into the crowd on the side of the road.

Charles looked bewildered, is this going to make big news?

The carriage went all the way forward, and then came to the edge of the central square in the city, where the standard theaters in every city are located.

When he got out of the car, the butler said to Charles, "Sir, there will be an auction here tonight. It's the product display stage. You can go and see if there's anything you're interested in."

Then the butler said in a very low voice, "You have a quota of 1,000 ore tonight, please be sure to use it up."

Charles nodded habitually. Isn't he just pretending to be lavishing money to let people know that his economic strength is awesome, what a big deal.

However, this coin is also very particular.

Only buy expensive ones, not the right ones. That's what the nouveau riche do. If Charles dares to do this, he will be looked down upon by other old-fashioned families.

It's not good to throw money at everything and buy it when you see what's right. This kind of ignorant approach is also detrimental to the image.

Generally speaking, those who only buy the right ones and do what they can are good kids.

so……

"This dress is good!" Charles said to Mordred in a very low voice~www.wuxiaspot.com~ How about buying it for your mother? "

Mordred tilted his head and carefully observed the white silk evening dress on the wooden model in front of him. It was the first time she had seen such a beautiful dress, and unconsciously she imagined Artoria wearing it.

"Yeah." Mordred finally nodded.

Charles Sharp also set the first target for this auction in his mind.

As for how to take the skirt away, Cassandra was there to help, I don't believe her, a field officer of the Bureau of Military Investigation and Statistics, dared to swallow the skirt of the former Supreme Attorney General.

Today is the day they will meet. Even the meeting between them has been arranged by Lorenzo. Now one of Charles' characters is a child who is interested in [REDACTED]Watermelon Breast Diviner[/Deleted] fortune-telling.

Since many people need to invest capital into crystal investment, in order to increase cash, they put many less important collectibles at auction to cash out.

Therefore, the number of items in the auction tonight is much higher than before. A retired court tailor hung up several sets of exquisite evening dresses at once, in addition to various collections hung by other people, such as the landscape paintings created by Mrs. Verui in her early years, and the forging holy places. The excellent weapons produced are said to be exquisite porcelain bottles with the three demon characters of "hand sanitizer" retrieved from the demon land hundreds of years ago, engravings with divine power, white dragon scales, and second-generation residents. ID cards, jewelry made by the elf, and a cloth bag that won't open.
