"Thank you for your enthusiasm for this evening, and let me introduce you to one last finale, a crown from the Ancient Elven Empire. Although it is no longer possible to verify whether it belongs to the Mai Yerita or Elisri, there is no doubt that it symbolizes the supreme power - the royal power, and I believe that no one wants to miss it. With a reserve price of 15,000 gold coins and a minimum of 2,000 per bid, you can now start bidding. ”

Pointing to the crystal crown that was carefully guarded against on the table, inlaid with countless diamonds, Cynthia's tone was very excited, her face and neck were slightly red, coupled with her amazing beauty and exposed skin, which suddenly made the men present a little uncontrollable.

Of course, what made them even more unbearable was the crown that exuded a devastating radiance, especially the crystal clear red diamond at the top, which made people unable to take their eyes off it.

The men present were able to generate such a strong urge, not to mention the crazy women, and several noblewomen even unbuttoned their chests to prevent themselves from fainting due to the shortness of breath.

Gorgeous appearance!

A rare red diamond in the world!

A long history!

The crown fulfilled almost all the qualities needed for an heirloom, and even the slightest sane knew its value, so tension and oppression quickly crept in.

Just now, the aristocrats who were talking and laughing showed vigilant eyes, in their eyes, every guy around them9★ could be their own competitors, and some were ready to mortgage their family property.

Perhaps because of the nervousness, there was silence in the hall for a while, and everyone was calculating the limit price they could afford. I forgot to shout the price......

Probably in their eyes. Fifteen thousand gold coins was an insult to this treasure. So they are waiting for others to bid first, and then wait until they are almost up to the price before they fight.

"Guess how much this thing can be sold for?" Henry smiled playfully and lowered his voice to ask his wife.

Glancing at the dazzling diamond in the crown, Poeti replied reluctantly, "I hope it's not too low, otherwise I'll probably be able to snatch it back." I really don't understand what you think, to put such a precious collection up for auction, is it worthless in your eyes? ”

Henry touched his chin and shook his head slightly, "No." On the contrary, it is quite valuable in my eyes, but you must understand that the floating city has caused my fortune to shrink considerably, and many things may be forced to run aground if they are not replenished, so antiques and jewelry like this without any practical use are the best choice. ”

In fact, this crown was originally placed with the "Supreme Scepter", and if nothing else, it should be a very precious antique.

But unfortunately, it was completely useless except for the huge red diamond that could be used to make magic items, so it was not surprising that he took it out for money.

After a few minutes of silence, a noble lady in a long blue dress finally couldn't help it. He raised his right hand high.

Cynthia noticed this action at a glance and immediately shouted, "This noble lady has made a bid!" Now it's fifteen thousand gold coins. Is there anything higher? ”

"Twenty thousand!"

"Twenty-five thousand!"

"Forty thousand!"

"Sixty thousand!"

……

Before she could start to mobilize her feelings, the guests at the scene fell into a state of frenzy, the price easily soared over 100,000, and it was still rising, there was no tendency to stop, none of them were willing to give up the plan to take this rare treasure into their pockets, so they were all ready to fight to the death, and some guys even began to think about whether to mortgage some properties.

After all, you can make money again when the money is gone, but I am afraid it will be difficult to encounter it after missing this opportunity.

The fierce bidding caused the originally polite nobles to tear off their disguises and begin to show their primitive and barbaric side, and the hall was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and they glared at each other angrily.

Soon, a man from Cormier finally couldn't afford the higher and higher prices, so he took out a contract document directly from his bosom and came to Henry's man, and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, I have a manor in the Kingdom of Cormier here, covering an area of more than five hundred and forty square kilometers, including a beautiful five-story castle, large farmland, livestock and poultry, and the two surrounding mountains are also counted, and the number of tenant farmers is sufficient, I hope to sell it in exchange for some gold coins." ”

"Oh? You actually took out the land! Henry looked at the man in front of him in surprise, and an incredible expression appeared on his face.

You must know that there is an inseparable relationship between the aristocracy and the land, and no matter how poor and destitute they are, they will rarely take out the land for trading. They all knew very well that once they lost their land, they would break away from the ranks of the nobility, and it would not be long before their descendants would be reduced to ordinary people.

In the continent of Faerun, most of the countries were still very traditional feudal systems, and the monarch Tong Guò closely linked his subjects to the land, establishing a mutually acceptable legal system, and then everyone revolved around this system, and it was difficult for merchants to integrate into it even if they were rich.

Of course, there are very few countries like Am, which are controlled purely by merchants, and the first thing those merchants do after obtaining the title of nobility is to buy a piece of land, even if it doesn't make a lot of money at all......

"No way, my family is in a bit of a difficulty, continue with a gift that is sufficient, otherwise it will ......" The man smiled wryly and sighed. Otherwise, there is a risk of annihilation, so it is imperative to win this crown. ”

Henry nodded suddenly in realization: "I see, the manor of five hundred and forty square kilometers is not small, I think your family's status in Cormier must be quite prominent, can you tell me its name?" ”

The man took a deep breath and replied very sternly with one hand on his chest: "Comerel, my family has now been stripped of their noble titles because of their involvement in the 'Fierce Poison Demon Bull Incident' that happened not long ago, and I heard that His Majesty the King is also planning to reclaim the land, so I must do something before the shape deteriorates to the point where it is irreparable." ”

"Comerel, one of the eight nobles of Cormier. No wonder it has such a huge estate. Henry narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

He suddenly remembered a piece of information he had seen a few months earlier. This was a political incident that caused violent turmoil in the Cormier Kingdom. The Blouers family, one of the eight families, have been exiled permanently, while the Comerel family is no better off and is now only dying.

However, fortunately, the Cormier royal family does not exclude transnational aristocrats, so as long as it does not violate the laws set by the royal family, then the current monarch Azeen IV should not make any moves.

Thinking of this, Henry raised his head and stared into the man's eyes and said meaningfully: "You are very smart, you know that it is better to sit back and wait for the land to be confiscated than to exchange it for other valuable things, I appreciate your courage and decisiveness." So I took this manor, and it should be no problem for 400,000 gold coins, right? ”

"Absolutely! Thank you so much for reaching out during such a difficult time, and the Camerel family will never forget it. After speaking, the man bowed deeply, then turned around and shouted at Cynthia: "I will give 650,000 gold coins!" ”

Quiet!

Everyone in the entire hall was stunned!

They didn't expect this man who looked to be in his early thirties to be so crazy, raising the price from less than 200,000 to 650,000 in one go, and it could be seen from those firm eyes that no matter what price others offered, he would not hesitate to follow, and even sell his property again.

But Henry understands that there are two reasons why this guy in front of him is doing this. One is to show favor to himself, which can also be understood as arranging a way back for family members. Once officially banished, the Comerel family can at least take refuge in Baldur's Gate, while secretly observing the situation in Cormier, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback.

And this huge manor is equivalent to a gift, after all, the gold coins obtained by the mortgage only change hands and come back, as long as you are not a fool, you can see what it means.

The second is to sue the royal family of Sù Cormier in disguise, his family is already very angry, and the next punishment is to raise your hand.

Obviously, for a piece of jewelry, this price has overflowed too much, unless there is another nobleman who wants to sell the land, otherwise it will end here, even Ali, who has been secretly raising the price, is embarrassed to speak, silently waiting for the transaction to be completed.

"Six hundred and fifty thousand for the first time! 600,000 for the second time! Six hundred and fifty thousand for the third time! Congratulations, handsome sir, the crown is yours. ”

Cynthia slammed the gavel and excitedly announced the finale. Tonight she had personally facilitated a terrifying amount of transactions, and the thought of the overwhelming amount of gold coins made her feel like she was about to faint.

I have to say that when she is in a harmless state, this girl is still quite cute, especially the natural character, which makes people can't help but want to take good care of it.

The man walked to the front desk with heavy steps, raised his crown in double numbers and announced loudly: "Everyone! Perhaps you have heard about the devastation that is going on for the Comerel family! But remember, we will never sink, just like the red diamond in this crown, which will sooner or later shine again. ”

With that, he bowed, then turned and walked towards the gate.

Looking at the back of the man leaving, Shi Kodi sighed slightly: "Hey...... Another illustrious family is in decline, and it is not known who Azeen IV will let take his place. ”

"No, as long as this man is alive, it won't be long before the Comerel family rises, and perhaps this ordeal will be a good thing for them. Let's go, the auction is over and I still have a lot to work out. Henry glanced at Ali, who immediately understood and quickly avoided the crowd and entered a break room.

Gladiode noticed this action and understood that her husband had something to deal with privately, so she pulled Hina towards Cynthia. The girl was surrounded by countless aristocratic males at the moment, and she looked a little panicked.

This was the end of a feast, a great deal of flashy things were exchanged for gold coins, and something unexpected happened in it, and for a while, Henry no longer had to worry about lack of money. (To be continued......)
