When she heard that the treasure in the final auction was her crowbar, Ella's first reaction was to lead her troops to Vinland to hunt down Hestein. When she gave the crowbar to the messenger as a token, she felt as if she was being cut.
It was like a piece of meat. Who knew that Hestein had not returned it yet and actually sold the crowbar!
But when she took a closer look at the crowbar in the auctioneer's hand, Ella noticed something was wrong. Because she was far away, Ella couldn't see the details of the crowbar, but the crowbar in the auctioneer's hand was obviously smaller than the crowbar in the auctioneer's hand.
Hers was a bit bigger. It was something she almost never left her hand, and there was absolutely no way she could mistake it—this crowbar was not hers.
The auctioneer still introduced excitedly in front of everyone:
"This is what the 'Triumpher' left behind to pay off the debt when he led his troops to Lübeck to borrow money. Because the 'Triumpher' has not repaid the money, now this crowbar appears in front of our eyes! Look at the crowbar
The snake wrapped around the stick! This is the giant snake Jörmungandr! Many soldiers who experienced the civil war in the Pirate Kingdom two years ago can testify that as long as you master the appropriate spells, you can summon the snake that wraps around the world.
Jörmungandr!"
"Look at Alexander's armor! It's just an ordinary armor, but it sold 26,000 Nomis horses! And this is a real artifact! We can predict that after the death of the 'Triumpher', its
The price will increase tenfold or a hundredfold! If you want to leave a family heirloom, what could be more suitable than this?"
——A lie made by the mayor of Lübeck?
Realizing this, Ella covered her mouth that almost screamed. She originally wanted to reveal that the crowbar was fake, but the mayor of Lübeck was one of her creditors and had met her several times.
It would be difficult to deal with him if he found out and was chased for debt on the spot.
A voice suddenly rang clearly in the stands: "Thirty thousand Nomisma, Master Fray Avine wants this!"
Everyone looked over, but they did not see the famous Hamburg city's richest businessman Frey Avigny. They only saw a young man in simple clothes, who was probably Frey Avigny's entourage. The entourage met everyone's gaze.
, said without changing his expression: "Lord Frayavenet knows that everyone wants this treasure very much, but I just hope that everyone can give it a convenience this time. If so, Lord Frayavenet will never forget everyone's kindness today."
."
——Fray Avenet?
Ella felt that this name was somewhat familiar. After thinking about it carefully, she remembered that it was the man who crushed her carrot in a carriage.
This time Frayavinet asked someone to buy a gift for Ella. He believed that Ella was the pirate king. If he gave the gift carelessly, he might die on the spot. And if the gift he gave did not make the other party happy, then
His contract was bound to be affected. In order to consider what to give, he struggled hard until he heard that Lubeck was auctioning Ella's crowbar.
Lübeck is the city closest to the territory of the "Triumphant" in the Alemannic Federation, so it was "borrowed" by Aila's troops. But since then, the merchants of Lübeck have never suffered any interference from the pirate kingdom.
Even the mayor of Lübeck assembled several fleets to go to Gotland to collect debts, but nothing happened. Now the "Triumph" troops are stationed in Stade, Hamburg, Bremen and other nearby places.
Trade in nearby cities was affected, but nothing happened in Lübeck.
So when he heard that the mayor of Lübeck was selling the crowbar left by the victor, Freaviné jumped up with joy. In his eyes, Lübeck relied entirely on the 150,000 nomis.
The horse was exchanged for the blessing of the "Triumph", and the purpose of the "Triumph" leaving the crowbar was not so much to pay off the debt, but more like a token of blessing. The businessman in Lübeck actually took out the crowbar for money.
Selling, how stupid does that have to be?
Freiavinet could already imagine what would happen after he brought this crowbar to the "Triumpher". The stupid Lübeck was bound to be abandoned by the "Triumpher", and Freiavinet had
Opportunity to be blessed by the "Triumpher".
With the "Triumph" as his backstage, he has the opportunity to expand his trade routes to the Pirate Kingdom. With the help of the Pirate Kingdom, he even has the opportunity to monopolize trade in the North Sea. Moreover, his domestic status is bound to be correspondingly improved.
improve.
No one else present knew what Freiavy had in mind, and the price of 30,000 Nomes was not a price that could be lowered casually, so he had no choice but to give up. The auctioneer placed the price of "30,000 Nomes"
"It was repeated three times, and finally the deal was announced.
The entourage sat back with a smile on his face. This matter was done, and Freavinet would definitely give him a lot of rewards when he returned.
"Gu...what does this Fray Avne want my crowbar so much?"
Ella's favorability towards Frayavenet has further decreased.
Seeing that all three items were sold, the auctioneer breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then let's start the auction of the last item now."
said the auctioneer.
"This is a very old book, and it was sent to us by the mayor of Lübeck. Unfortunately, the book is in Hebrew, and we cannot know the content of the book. Even its title is unknown.
I can’t understand it, so I can only trace the words of the book title in the list at the end of the invitation letter for everyone. If you know this thing or are interested in it, you can take a photo of it and bring it back.
Check it out at home.”
Someone brought up a delicate small box. The auctioneer took out the book and showed it to everyone. It was an ancient parchment scroll, somewhat yellow and dark. Two other people brought a large board
Lifting it up, the title of the book was outlined in large outlines in the same way.
The attention of Gottfried, Habiba, and Gregory was immediately mobilized. Gottfried and Habiba studied the magic of Kabbalah, and Gregory studied the "Old Testament".
They need to be exposed to Hebrew. Therefore, they understand at a glance that the meaning of those Hebrew words is "The Technique of Chariot Ascension to the Sky".
"The starting price for this volume is five hundred Nomis horses!"
The auctioneer's words made Habiba and Gottfried immediately feel discouraged. They originally sneaked in with the intention of picking up leaks. Who knew that the starting price of this book was also so expensive.
Probably because everyone thought the price was too high, the venue was silent for a while. The auctioneer stood on the round platform with some embarrassment, waiting for a long time but no one bid. Just when he wanted to say something to make up for the embarrassment, there was a sudden sound from outside the venue.
There was a commotion. Before anyone could check what happened, the door of the venue had been completely crushed, and a black thing poured in like mist.
"Claudius?" Gregory frowned and stood up from his position.
