Chapter 143: The Prince's Face?
"No. 8, 6,000 gold coins. β
"No. 3, 7,000 gold coins. β
"No. 7, 8,000 gold coins. β
In the auction hall, one after another the bids rang out.
After hearing the offer of 8,000 gold coins, Gro in the box lowered his head a little dejectedly, he already understood that there was no chance for the second exemption certificate. I knew that it was better to stick to the first exemption certificate, maybe a few old nobles would let him get it for the sake of his identity. But now...... The price of 8,000 gold coins made him not even eligible to increase the price.
In the end, after some price increase, the second exemption certificate was auctioned for 9,000 gold coins by the No. 9 plate, which was originally quoted at a high price. Gro in the box clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and was about to smash the table again.
But just before his fist touched the table, he suddenly became alert and hurriedly retracted.
glanced at Pandora with fear, and felt that a large cloud of fire in her heart could not be attacked, and she was so suffocated that it almost exploded. Turning around sharply, he stretched out his fingers and began to poke, poke, poke and poke hard at the soft seat......
While poking, Groh thought.
According to the current situation, the bidding for the third test-free voucher may be more intense, and he will have to think of a way.
So......
......
"Da Da Da ......"
The young waiter walked up to the stage with the third exemption certificate, this time I don't know if it was because he was suppressed, the auctioneer's words were even simpler, "It's business as usual, the auction begins!"
Gro raises his card.
The auctioneer shouted: "No. 1 plate, 1050 gold ......"
"No!" Gro interrupted the auctioneer, took a deep breath and got up from his seat, pulled back the curtains, and walked to the window so that everyone could see his face.
Gro's eyes were sharp, holding the number plate, and he announced in a deep voice, "I, Prince Ge Luo, number 1, bid 7,984 gold coins, 14 silver coins and 56 copper coins. β
There are zeros and whole parts.
The audience was silent .......
This time it was really quiet, and most of the people's eyes flashed and they all reacted.
Gro did this to tell everyone that he, the prince, had staked all his money. He's going to get this third exemption certificate.
Whoever fights with him, then stand up!
This is the wrath of His Royal Highness the Prince!
In the face of the anger of His Royal Highness the Prince, who dares to squeak and who dares to resist?
So in Gro's voice, the audience was silent for nearly half a second.
Half a second later.
Next to the Gro box, the number plate was raised in another box, and he said lightly: "No. 3, 8,000 gold coins." β
8,000 gold coins, 7,984 gold coins and 14 silver coins and 56 copper coins!
Crush it directly!
Ruthlessly, directly crushed to death without giving face!
What is the Prince's Wrath, is it worth a gold coin?
Gro's face turned white in an instant, and then the blood surged up and turned blood red, clenched his fists to control the lack of rampage, and the blood red turned iron blue little by little.
Gro gritted his teeth and looked at the box next to him, he could already hear who was speaking. In fact, as a prince, he has long guessed the identity of the 10 number plate people in several boxes, and now it is just a simple confirmation.
Gro spoke out and said word by word: "Di, En, Marquis, Jue!"
With a "stab", the person whose name was called opened the curtain of the box and walked to the window of the box, revealing his figure. It was an old man of nearly sixty years old, half-white hair, and full of energy, and he looked at Gro with a smile, as if it was not him who had just made the offer, but someone else.
The other party greeted politely and said, "Prince Gro, long time no see, hello." β
"I, very, good!" Gro still said word by word, his eyes staring at each other deadly, as if he was going to swallow the other party alive, "You, also, very, good!"
"Thank you Prince Groh for your concern, I've been fine. I ask the prince to greet His Majesty the King on my behalf, and wish him good health. After all, only His Majesty the King, His Royal Highness the Prince, and everyone else will the entire Emerald Kingdom be stable. Isn't that right, Prince Groh?"
"It's you!" Gro really wanted to shout, but in the end he snorted coldly, and left the box window without saying a word, and sat back in his seat.
The quotations of other boxes kept ringing.
"No. 8, 8,500 gold coins. β
"No. 5, 9000 Gold Coins......"
Gro felt that this offer was simply a slap in the face.
These old aristocrats went too far, and they didn't even give him face as a prince at all.
But what can he do?
What to do?
Do?
After a while, Gro heard the Marquis of Dean on the No. 3 plate call out the high price of 10,000 gold coins, and was about to pocket the last exemption voucher, when he suddenly stood up, walked to the window again, raised the number plate and shouted: "No. 1, 20,000 gold coins!"
"Coax!"
The audience was in an uproar!
Gro clasped his hands.
Today, he had to get a certificate of exemption. It's no longer a question of whether you're qualified to be a wizard, it's a question of whether you want to save face.
He is a dignified prince, and he must earn back this face!
But apparently, someone didn't want him to do that.
Marquis Dean, who was in the box next door, questioned slowly, "Prince Gro, are you sure you brought so many gold coins?"
"I can mortgage!"
"But the auction doesn't seem to accept mortgages from entities such as territories, real estate, and shops. β
"Can I pledge my prince's reputation! I vouch for my personality, I can get together 20,000 gold coins in an hour!!"
"Well, I don't know about this, after all, the auction house is not mine, so I have to ask the auction house. Marquis Dean said tepidly.
Gro clenched his hands into fists, looked at the auctioneer with his eyes on fire, and asked aloud, "Okay, no, okay?"
"Forehead......" The auctioneer spoke more briefly this time, "I don't know ......"
The auctioneer really doesn't know, after all, he is just an auctioneer, and he can't do such a big thing.
Gro's basic voice came from between his teeth: "Then let someone who knows tell me!"
Soon, it became known that someone was coming.
A person in charge hurriedly ran up to the wooden platform, bowed to Gro, swallowed his saliva and said, "His Royal Highness Prince Gro, our auction house does not allow mortgages. But...... Considering the special situation of the prince, we can temporarily lend 10,000 gold coins to His Royal Highness the prince, what do you think?"
"Good. Gro replied, and continued, "I'll pay you back the money in one hour." And now I bet all the 10,000 gold coins you lent and the 7,984 gold coins I have now, a total of 17,984 gold coins, I want to ask, who wants to quote a higher price?!"
"Marquis Dean, do you want to really call for 20,000 gold coins, better than me!" Gro turned his head to look at Marquis Dean.
Marquis Dean smiled slightly, and owed a debt: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't be angry, Your Highness can come up with such a high price, I naturally can't fight." β
"That's good. Gro only said those three words, but his eyes were still fixed on the Marquis of Deanβhe was not reassured.
It wasn't until halfway through the ring, when the auctioneer announced the results, announcing that Gro had obtained the last exemption certificate, that Gro withdrew his gaze.
Walking back to the seat in the box, Gro's whole body softened, he sat down on the seat, panting and turning his head to look at the guards in the box and said, "You, go to my eldest brother immediately, well, Your Majesty the King." Tell him that whatever territory he gives me, I will admit it, but now you will bring me 10,000 gold coins immediately, if there is an emergency. If he still asks, tell him about it. In short, get the money. β
"Well, yes. The guard didn't dare to say a word more and ran away.
Then Gro turned his head to look at Richard, his eyes flickered, and he said with some self-deprecation: "Your Excellency Richard, am I a little stupid?"
"Hmm. Richard nodded, "Sort of." β
Gro: "I ......"
