Chapter 142: The Old Aristocrat's Bid

The number plate held up is No. 4, and the number plate is inlaid with gold edges, which means that the other party is similar to Gero, both of whom are people in the box. Even if his status is not as noble as Gro, he is not much worse, and he belongs to one of the most powerful old nobles in Emerald City, even if the king wants to do something about it, he must think about it.

Several veteran aristocrats did not participate in last night's snatch of exemption certificates, but this does not mean that they are not interested in exemption certificates, on the contrary, they are interested. However, in the wait-and-see situation, he will only make a move when the situation is right and give a fatal blow.

Insidious, vicious, and sophisticated, they are like poisonous snakes, which is the style of the standard old aristocracy.

Therefore, an offer of 2,500 gold coins directly extinguished Gro's beautiful illusions, made Gro stunned, and most of the audience were stunned, and in this stunnedness, the whole situation has changed.

A new round of bidding, the real bidding has officially begun.

The waves of the sea poured out, one after the other, to the highest peaks.

"No. 3, 3,000 gold coins. ”

"No. 8, 3,500 gold coins. ”

"No. 6, 4,500 gold coins. ”

......

In several boxes, a few number plates within 10 quickly increase the price, as little as 500 gold coins, and more directly increase the price of 1000 gold coins, which is a large exaggeration. In the middle of the ring, the exemption voucher was pushed to the ultra-high price of 7,000 gold coins, which was already 7 times the starting price and 3.5 times the price that Gro called out.

Gro was no longer stunned at this time, and after reacting, his face was extremely ugly. After all, the situation changed so quickly and so much that it was far beyond his expectations. Originally, he was still ambitious to auction off all three exemption vouchers, but who knew that in a blink of an eye, it would be a little difficult to even auction one exemption voucher, which ......

"Smack!" Gro slapped the table in the box very hard, and couldn't help but vent his emotions, "Damn, how can they ......"

But Gro only said half a sentence, and suddenly swallowed the rest of the words back with a "grunt". Then the corners of his mouth were hooked upwards to reveal an exaggerated smile, and his hands were slightly raised, making an innocent gesture, like a poor baby rabbit caught by a hunter.

"Knock, misunderstanding...... It's all a misunderstanding...... "Gro struggles to prove his innocence.

Pandora, who was woken up, glanced at Gro unhappily, turned over, and curled up on his back again to lie down on the seat and began to sleep.

"Whew......" Gro let out a long breath, then looked at Richard with some resentment, and asked with his eyes, "Why did you bring her?"

"She's coming on her own. ”

"I ......"

Gro was so angry that he really wanted to smash the table, but he really didn't dare.

He slammed his fist down on the table, and Pandora's fist was about to smash it down on him. It's hard to say if he could smash the table with one punch, but Pandora's punch would definitely knock him half to death. Well, let's just beat it half to death, after all, it's considered to be an acquaintance, so you can't just beat it to death without mercy, right?

Gro thought with a lot of pressure in his heart, and felt a little stiff all over his body. There was a cute little girl sleeping next to her, and she was completely an ancient beast.

Glancing at Gro's appearance, Richard shook his head and asked softly at Gro, "What are you going to do now, the auction price of the test-free voucher has already reached 7,000 gold coins, and you are still going to increase the price?"

When Gro heard Richard say this, he remembered what he was doing, his expression was slightly solemn, and he thought seriously.

He came to the auction this time, and brought all his savings, nearly 8,000 gold coins, so that he could indeed increase the price and try it. But...... It doesn't necessarily work out. If he succeeded, he also felt a bit of a loss.

Nearly 8,000 gold coins, just to sell a test-free certificate?

Although, according to rumors, boarding the wizard's ship with an exemption certificate will have all kinds of special treatment, but it is not worth 8,000 gold coins, right?

Gro hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Richard, "I...... Let's wait and see, I think the price is a bit inflated and unreasonable now. Maybe it was caused by a few old aristocrats deliberately coaxing. If that's the case, the second exemption voucher should be cheaper, so I don't want to be this big-headed ghost. ”

At this time, Gro was still a little incomprehensible to the sudden price increase of several old nobles in the box, and couldn't help but have some fantasies: maybe a few old nobles were dizzy for a while, and when the second test-free certificate was auctioned, the other party calmed down, so he could auction the test-free certificate at a relatively low price.

After Richard listened to Gro's words, he didn't say much, and somewhat guessed Gro's thoughts. However, in Richard's opinion, Gro's idea is likely to be wrong. With a price of nearly 8,000 gold coins, it is indeed expensive to buy a test-free certificate. But this time, the situation should be different from the past.

The current Emerald Gold City is not the previous Emerald Gold City.

Before, the White Stone Tower had not had an apprentice die in Emerald City. Before, there were not several families in Emerald Gold City that were inexplicably attacked and suffered heavy losses.

The old aristocrats spared no expense, apparently stimulated by recent events, and made them realize that for capable wizards, they were lambs to be slaughtered at will, and they could be easily cleaned up.

In this regard, the old nobles would rather pay some relatively large prices than find a way to cultivate a wizard of their own family.

Richard pondered as bidding continued in the auction room.

In the end, the first test-free voucher was auctioned off by the owner of the No. 6 plate for 8,500 gold coins, an exaggerated price.

This was followed by the auction of the second exemption certificate.

Originally, it stands to reason that as the main event of the auction, the exemption certificate should not be auctioned in a centralized manner, which can also bring higher returns.

Similar methods include: at the beginning of the auction, the auction is not too expensive, but the more eye-catching novelty auction is auctioned to stimulate the atmosphere, a short break before the auction finale is given to give people anticipation, and between the continuous price finale lots, some less promising auction items are interspersed to prevent the auction from failing;

But after all, this is the Middle Ages, and the implementation of the traditional auction system is still relatively backward, and many tricks have not yet been perfected.

In fact, for the nobles in the field, this is what they want the most - it is the right thing to show the three exemption certificates as soon as possible. If the auction always comes up with a bunch of "", they have to tear it down.

To put it simply, the current world of auctions is still relatively pure, and most of them will consider the customer, rather than completely consider the profit.

"Da Da Da ......"

Footsteps sounded, and the young waiter walked up to the high platform with the second exemption voucher.

Then it was the auctioneer who spoke up.

Because of the previous introduction, this time the auctioneer was very simple: "The second test-free certificate, everything is according to the old example of the first test-free certificate, and the auction will start now!"

As the auctioneer finished speaking, Gro glanced at the venue and once again held up the sign as the first person.

"No. 1 plate, 1050 gold coins. ”

The auctioneer immediately announced it, and then the room fell silent, and everything was like a copy of the first exemption certificate.

However, Richard in the box knew very well that this time it was quiet, just because the people in the room were only waiting to see if the old nobles in the other boxes would make a bid.

If the old nobles bid, then there is no point in bidding, after all, the high price of thousands of gold coins at every turn, there are really not many people who can afford it.

Gold coins are not blown by the wind, a medium-sized aristocratic territory, a hard year, the income is only a few thousand silver coins, converted into gold coins are only a little more than a hundred. Some old aristocrats and wealthy families have an annual income of only about a thousand gold coins, and a few thousand gold coins are already considered to be broken. If Gro hadn't lived a relatively frugal life, it would have been difficult for him to have savings of nearly 8,000 gold coins as a prince for more than ten years.

In short, gold coins are very expensive, everyone is very poor, and if the old nobles grit their teeth and bid, the rest can only choose to give up.

So will the old aristocracy make a bid?

In the midst of the quiet waiting, a slightly older voice sounded.

"No. 9, 5,000 gold coins. ”

The answer came out: the old aristocracy made a bid, and directly pushed the price to a completely different bidding level.

The frightening bidding has begun again.
