"This is made of parchment from the black goat of Hegaros, which is invulnerable to fire and water, and can preserve time in epochs. We all know that the information recorded with such precious materials will definitely be quite important news. The auctioneer picked up a parchment roll, looked at everyone in the audience with pretended mysterious eyes, and even deliberately slowed down the tone of his speech, feeling that he had whetted everyone's appetite, so he said slowly: "We have checked, this is a nautical chart, which is 300 years old." Unfortunately, the latitude and longitude and geographical appearance are not too precise, but if you put it in the hands of a good navigator, you will be able to find the location on it easily. ”

"Yes! Dear gentlemen, beautiful women! This is a treasure map, from the treasure map of the overlord of the Tatsukai three hundred years ago, the great pirate king Goldbeard Drake! Its starting bid is 500,000 bakers! So what are you waiting for? Just listen to those jaw-dropping legends and stories to know how huge the treasure of the Golden Beard is, as long as it is revealed, it will be more than ten times the profit! ”

Well, in the end, it turned out to be such a temporary opening again...... Lu Xi couldn't help but pat his head, looked at the Elder father and daughter beside him, and found that these two also showed disbelief.

"We've got three of them, and this is the fourth?" Lu Xi asked in a low voice, "How many are there?" ”

“…… I can't really know for sure. Theas shook her head and smiled helplessly, "The teacher is studying all the materials, including the diary that Drake left before he died and various bystander records, but he can't be sure now. Well. To be sure, there shouldn't be more than seven. He was in the last year of his life. He was accompanied by only seven people, his three children and four loyal subordinates. If he really wants to leave the treasure map for posterity. It's only going to be divided into seven parts at most, right? ”

Well, is it really the legendary summoned dragon? Lu Xi couldn't help but slump again.

"Huh?" The little girl of the Holy Dragon Department behind her couldn't help but widen her eyes, and said suspiciously: "That kind of map, it's vaguely familiar." ”

"Don't tell me you still have one."

"I've got two in my hand." The little girl smiled and said, "Ah, I remember. Three hundred years ago, I had just left Deliger and had not yet found my father. Once, when he was tired of flying in the Tatsu Sea, he turned into a human form and rested on a small island, but it turned out to be a secret base of pirates. The pirates there saw me. They said that they hadn't seen this kind of masterpiece for a long time, so they came up and wanted to do it, so I had to kill them even with the boat. Several chests of jewels and gold coins were found on the shipwreck, as well as a map. ”

"You didn't see it was a treasure map? With your true dragon nature, it is impossible to keep the treasure for 300 years, right? ”

"I was going to take a look along the charts, but I didn't know much about the geography of Chenhai, so I thought of Neosfia to find a sailor and inquire about it. And I found my dad there, huh...... The treasure I found could not have been given to that miserly middle-aged man. So I never looked for it. Later, on another mission, I took out another group of pirates and found another ...... from their ship."

“…… Well, Miss Corecell. I have a big business here, would you like to work with me again? ”

"Huh?" The little girl tilted her head and stared at Lu Xi's eyes, she should have guessed something. Soon he showed a bright smile: "Okay, although you are also a miser who wants money." But at least one won't trick people, and it's fun to work with you. So. Are you going to take a picture of that map? If you don't have enough money, I can lend you a little. For the sake of friends, the interest only needs to be counted as a success. ”

And at the moment when the two were talking, there were already several rounds of bidding, and the auctioneer on the stage shouted in a provocative voice: "1 million Bakers!" In just three rounds of bidding, Mr. 18 has already directly bid 1 million bakers! He's really menacing, and he's bound to win! It seems that he is really very optimistic about the authenticity of this treasure map, so what are you waiting for, ladies and gentlemen? Once you unleash the treasure of the Golden Beard, you will not only earn dozens of times the profit, but also make a significant contribution to solving the mysteries of the history of that time, and your name will be written in the history books! He said generally, while constantly casting his hidden urging gaze on Lu Xi's side, he almost rushed up and down and pinched the latter's life and shouted, "Why don't you raise your card?" Everyone is holding up cards, how can you, as an old enemy, not raise cards, so it is too incomprehensible to the amorous mouth! ”

Lu Xi shook his head: "This guy is really not level, not like a gold medal auctioneer, more like a host of a TV shopping advertisement for a third-rate product." ”

"Don't say that, Mr. Toby is also a gold medal auctioneer of Sushide. He presides over almost every year's large-scale auctions, and he should still have some real skills. The wind pondered for a moment, and then said: "Well, the power of words and spirits with a little demagogic emotions in words can't constitute a crime that magic directly affects people's spirit and judgment, so it can be regarded as a means to stir up the atmosphere." But then again, what the hell is a TV shopping ad? ”

Of course, Lu Xi would not answer this question that had no nutritional value, but he just sneered disapplauded: "Huh...... Humans with a quarter of the high-level fish-man bloodline have a charming spiritual effect in their speech, so it is natural for them to do this kind of work. But we all know that people with golden bloodlines can practice thousands of miles a day, far more than ordinary people, but if they make a little progress, they can also achieve a great cause. But now, he can only rely on playing tricks to eat. ”

"Self-motivated? Lu Xi, but you are not qualified to talk about people in this regard, right? The wind showed a speechless expression, as if he had been amazed by Lu Xi's cheekiness.

Lu Xi decided to pretend that he hadn't heard it, and continued: "However, even if he is playing tricks, he must not have any professionalism. The art of demagoguery has not been studied. I didn't practice professional auction skills, and I just relied on a little bit of mermaid's blood talent to eat. However. Even if it is the meal rewarded by the ancestors, sooner or later it will be finished...... Hi. Sure enough, Su Shide has dominated the world in this field for too long, and even this kind of goods can be mixed into their gold medal? Monopoly without competition really can't promote the progress of the industry. ”

Hurricane wanted to roll his eyes and despise the other party again, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up.

On the other hand, Lu Xi ruthlessly and directly denied the meaning of the existence of the chief auctioneer of Su Shide Auction House, and then slowly raised his hand.

"1.2 million! The young lady of the 48th came out to 1.2 million! ”

Well, half-breed merfolk, you've called me "ma'am" twelve times tonight. Plus eight times "Miss". We'll all remember it, and we'll slowly adjust this matter after the auction forgets about it.

"Master, this treasure map, no matter what the cost, you have to take it down!" Gray? Airul whispered: "No matter how much you spend, the contemptible people are willing to pay half!" ”

"No, no, Mr. Airul, my photograph is naturally my own investment." Lu Xi smiled: "If you want, you can also go down in person." ”

It was really a heartless statement, Miss Theas was stunned for a moment. But the Sky Swallowing Whale himself quickly showed a relieved and interesting smile: "Also, the contemptible people haven't made a move tonight, and I feel that many people are going to forget that the Sky Swallowing Whale Gray is also sitting here!" ”

With the addition of a first-class local tyrant, the bidding scene naturally began to develop in a white-hot direction. He held up his card for the first time. directly raised the bid to 1.5 million, which once again attracted the attention of the audience. Many people who had no interest in the treasure map began to be tempted - in the eyes of these cunning Neosfia merchants, the chick number 48 was a newcomer they had never seen before. It should be the daughter of the noble gate lord of the Federation or Oakland who came to see the world, and it is normal to be the head of the wrong. But Gray, the "Sky Swallowing Whale" sitting next to "her", is a guy who can't afford to be early. It is impossible to do a loss-making business. Now that he's gone, is that chart really mysterious?

Well. Although we are not too professional in treasure hunting and exploration, only if we have money, we can always invite very capable professionals.

With such thoughts, it is natural that there are not a few people who end up. In fact, we all know that in the auction, once there are more competitors, the price will really not stop.

After a few more rounds of bidding, a chart made of sheepskin soared directly to the very interesting figure of 2.5 million. The bidder was the lord of a certain city of Sosnes, a southern continent with very rich gold and gem mines, and it was impossible to calculate how much money the local tyrants there had.

Lu Xi touched his chin, he didn't bid for the next few rounds, and suddenly had a sense of pleasure that it was not too big to watch the excitement.

Gray frowned. He had already made up his mind to take this picture down, but looking at the current situation, it seemed that the cost would be more than he expected.

"4 million!" On the 18th, the son-in-law of the Dallester family paused and said in a deep and unequivocal tone.

The warm atmosphere of the audience had a short pause in an instant.

Lu Xi couldn't help but blow a whistle, so it was as if a piece of ice had been thrown into a pot of boiling oil, and the noisy and noisy sound rose from every corner of the entire hall in an instant, and soon gathered into an unpleasant cloud. In that air, you can no longer even see the stage that is close at hand, whether it is the auctioneer on the stage, or the treasure map that has caused countless coveted and sensational sensations, has become an indescribable symbol.

Lu Xi smiled, he looked at Gray, whose brows were even tighter? Airul, while raising the card again, did not forget to give the domineering president over there who also looked at him with the same look.

"5 million! 5 million! If this price holds, it will be our bid for the night! "The auctioneer's voice, who has a little bit of mermaid blood, and is called Toby, has gone crazy. As in the past, auctions usually only produce such sky-high prices on the third day, but today is only the first day. He can already imagine that this auction conference may set off an unprecedented high (meow) tide, and the bonus dividends he can get will of course be unprecedented!

While speculating the price to the extreme, Lu Xi looked directly into the eyes of the boy. He saw a pair of gray eyes full of confidence, arrogance, and aggression, hiding greed and indifference that were difficult to detect. But it is indeed a pair of eyes that are very consistent with his identity and personality. And at this moment, even in such a pair of eyes. There was also a flash of consternation that could not be concealed.

Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders and returned with a bright but defiant smile. But no one noticed that the glow of magic flashed in his inky eyes, like a meteor in the night sky, fleeting.

The eldest grandson of the Dalrest family was happy, he only felt that there was suddenly a trace of evil fire in his heart, and he felt that he must not show weakness in front of the other party, otherwise everything he had done before would not make him more like a fool?

"8 million!" He raised three fingers and said proudly. The titular uncle next to him. In fact, the man who was just a servant didn't have time to dissuade himself at all, and after a short period of confusion, the expression on his face changed to shock.

"Huron, this is just a chart, and even if it was indeed left by Drake, there is no way to determine if there is really a treasure there. You're too impulsive! "Bissel? Tolt whispered beside his nephew.

"That's the courage of the Dalrest family." Huron? Dalrest said lightly, glancing at his uncle, not at all prepared to hide the indifference in his eyes. His implication was, don't think you're married to a woman from the Dallester family. And there is the soul of our family.

"Oh, old Sir Victor, you have really given birth to a great grandson." Sky Swallowing Whale Gray sneered, and then looked at Lu Xi, who was sitting on the side with a look of I didn't know anything. smiled and said, "So, master, do you think I should increase the price." Or no price increase? ”

"It's up to you." Lu Xi shrugged: "If you want to spend another 10 million to grab it, then that map is your investment." Naturally, you can also get a bigger reward in the end. If you don't want to...... Then you're welcome after that. ”

Gray the Sky Swallower was really hesitant. Of course, he wasn't sure how much cash Lu Xi still had in his hands, but he was a newcomer. It is impossible to be more than himself and the son of the century-old chaebol over there, and I don't know how the other party is sure that the treasure map will definitely belong to him; But he can also be sure that although the other party is young, it is impossible to speak without purpose, although the two sides have not known each other for a long time, but old Gray can be completely sure of this.

However, the cost of such a huge sum of money for a map of nearly eight figures exceeded his expectations.

The daughter sitting next to him gritted her teeth and shook her head at herself, which became the basis for Gray's final decision.

"So, okay...... Master, I am a northerner, and occasionally I have to believe in fate. "Gray? Airul finally put down the sign in his hand and gave up the final bid: "I won't be polite if it belongs to me, and if it doesn't belong to me, if I force it, I can only hurt myself and others in the end." ”

He was eager to see how Lu Xi managed to make the treasure map his own, but he didn't wait for the latter to continue bidding.

So, at tonight's auction, a seemingly inconspicuous treasure map, at a sky-high price of 8 million bakers, became the king of tonight's bid, and also became Huron? Possession of Dalest.

Of course, this is all expected by Lu Xi himself.

And something he didn't expect happened. The lots that he participated in the bidding, but were all snatched by the Dalrest family's son-in-law, except for the map, were all sent to him.

"This is a gift from our young master." A deacon wearing the family crest of the Dalrest family and wearing a ceremonial dress said to Lu Xi respectfully: "In addition, the young master also invites you and your friends to the Seven Seas Dragon Palace......"

"Go and reply to your young master, we will come to the door soon to thank you." Lu Xi said reservedly: "Please wait a little longer." ”

"Sounds like a crappy trap." Lu Xi said to the wind, "However, the dragon never seems to care about the traps laid by the rabbits, right?" ”

"Huh...... Actually, it's really not a trap. Hurricane's expression was a little subtle, an expression that wanted to laugh but felt that he shouldn't laugh.

"So, can you please not use dragons to tell jokes every time?" Chrysel said angrily, "Also, Miss Storm is right, this is really unlikely to be a trap ......" (To be continued.) )
