Angelet stopped talking and stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, slowly drinking the top-quality fruit wine in his hand.
The temperature in the private room was suitable, and Angele was wearing a little too much clothes. He gently pulled his collar, revealing his fair and strong chest. He looked at the venue below intently.
Some noisy noises were faintly heard from below. People continued to pour in along the entrance, filling the red seats in the venue. Soon, after ten minutes, all the red seats were filled. The door of the venue
It also slowly closed. Two guards in black heavy armor carrying giant axes walked to the door to guard the door.
An old man wearing glasses walked up to the auction stage. He had gray hair and a beard and looked extremely serious. He gently tapped the hammer in his hand.
"Gentlemen and ladies, I am very happy that you can come to our Mingola auction house. Today, I, Pierre from Nalin Street, will be hosting the auction for you. I believe everyone has heard about the origin of today's exhibits.
Well. In that case, I won't say much more. Now I announce that the auction has begun!" The old man spoke concisely. He knocked the small hammer hard and made a bang.
The entire venue slowly calmed down. Most people's eyes were focused on the platform. Some people were whispering to each other, but their voices were consciously lowered.
"The first auction item is the precious silver sand from the Sea Tribe, which is used as the starting item for this auction." The old man said loudly.
On the auction stage, two shirtless strong men carried a black metal box and walked onto the stage from one side. Two swordsmen wearing leather armor followed them closely, alerting them to the surrounding movements.
The black box was lifted up and placed on the ground in front of the auction table. A strong man opened the lid of the box. Inside was a box full of silver sand. As the box was lowered, the silver sand trembled slowly like mercury.
It reflects a bright silver luster.
"Silver sand is one of the regular exports of the Hai tribe. Although the output is not large, you can put a little in it when bathing. It will be of great benefit to skin care. It is a perfect product for beauty." The old man was speechless.
After saying that, the ladies and girls below immediately started to make a noise.
"The starting price is 1,000 gold coins. The bidding begins!" As soon as Pierre finished speaking, he immediately held up the sign.
"2,000 gold coins! I'll give you 2,000!" A middle-aged female aristocrat said loudly, holding up a sign with the number 2,000 painted on it.
"2200!" A young girl held up a sign.
"2300!" someone shouted immediately.
.......
.........
In just a few minutes, the price quickly rose to a new level. New quotes kept ringing on the field.
Finally, as the price increased, some participants gradually gave up bidding. Only a few people were still insisting.
"5,000 gold coins!" A young noble boy stood up and shouted loudly.
"6000." A voice came out from Private Room 1 on the second floor.
"7000." The noble boy glanced at the private room and continued to increase the price.
"8,000 gold coins." The voice in the private room came out again.
At this time, the quotations in the audience temporarily stopped. Only the aristocratic boy was still standing. He took a rag and wiped off the number, and then drew a new number on the sign.
"Ten thousand!" he shouted loudly, holding up the sign. "I will give you ten thousand gold coins."
Some nobles also shook their heads and put down their signs. A box of standard silver sand is worth about 6,000 gold coins at most. Ten thousand gold coins is obviously too much. No one has so much money that it is useless. So except for this noble boy, everyone else
All gave up.
**********************
In private room No. 1.
Deimos snorted coldly.
"Are you an idiot? You actually spent 10,000 gold coins for a box of silver sand. Forget it. It's not just this time that we have silver sand. It will still be shipped next month." After he finished speaking, his face was still a little worried.
The feeling of being reluctant to leave.
Angelet on the side shook his head. To be honest, he always felt very relaxed when he was with Deimos. If this young and beautiful woman put aside his willfulness and coquettishness, she is actually just a simple and ordinary person.
What he likes is that when others get along with him normally, he is treated as if he is just a normal person. However, there are only a handful of people with this qualification, and those who are qualified will basically not treat him like this. In this world
, regardless of men and women, as long as they are beautiful, many nobles lead a decadent life that does not care about gender differences.
Therefore, except for his relatives, there are basically no friends around Deimos who treat him like a normal person. The appearance of Angelet also fills this gap. This is also the reason why he is particularly interested in Angelet. Because he only has this one
A true friend is the only one.
"This idiot!" Deimos muttered and glared at the noble boy fiercely.
*********************
At this time, the countdown on the auction stage was almost over. The auctioneer made the final decision. The box of silver sand officially belonged to the noble boy.
"Wait!" the young man suddenly said loudly. "Taking this opportunity, I want to announce something. As a small token of my gratitude, I will give this box of silver sand to us, the most beautiful pearl in Lennon City. In my heart,
The most dazzling person—Lord Timos!"
The young man bent down and saluted from a distance towards Private Room 1 where Deimos was.
"Lord Timos, please allow a humble admirer to offer you a sincere blessing."
Suddenly there was a burst of good-natured laughter from the surrounding venue.
"Logan, you are indeed quite generous." Some teenagers who knew him shouted.
The noble girls around also showed a faint look of envy.
*********************
In private room No. 1.
Angele couldn't help laughing. He turned to look at Deimos on the sofa.
"I'm so envious that someone is so courteous to you. Tens of thousands of gold coins are delivered to your door casually."
There was also a trace of triumph on Timos's face.
"Humph, I guess he's wise." He didn't let go, but his little face looked pleased with himself. Apparently the other party's move greatly satisfied his vanity.
This is just a small episode. Young Master Logan of the Michelle family spent millions of dollars on the beautiful Lord Deimos, and this will spread throughout the aristocratic circle of Lennon City.
Next, there is an antique vase with a black gooseneck. It is said to be from when the Phrasos still existed. It has a history of thousands of years.
Naturally, Angele had no interest in this antique. Timos was not a person who liked to collect antiques either. He did not participate in the bidding. However, it was sold for two thousand gold coins.
Immediately afterwards, there were four items in a row. They were all antiques. Nothing special. More than half an hour passed quickly.
"Next, there are treasures from a collector like the previous antiques. Leather books from the Forasso era. Books that have been preserved for thousands of years!" the old auction man introduced loudly.
A charming girl in a translucent white gauze dress walked onto the stage carrying a silver plate. On the plate was a heavy dictionary-like book with a brown cover and a belt buckle.
"Ancient books from thousands of years ago, knowledge inheritance from the mysterious and powerful Forasor people. Perhaps any noble who likes collections and knowledge will not let go of this treasure." The old man promoted loudly.
In Private Room No. 1, Angele looked at the tome from a distance and slowly drank the fruit wine in the cup. He remembered that when he left his home territory, his father once mentioned to him the information about the Forasso people.
.The sky full of blue turquoise Martha is still vivid in my mind, as if it was yesterday.
The lonely look on my father's face in the rain of Martha seemed to still linger in front of me.
"Angelet, do you know the Forasian language?" Timos asked curiously from the side.
"We know him a little bit." Angelet came back to his senses and nodded.
"Then what does that book record? Can you see it clearly on the cover?" Deimos asked.
"The cover says, 'My dear Paul, may you gain eternity in heaven.' It seems to be a memorial book, or a memoir," Angelet answered casually.
"That would be boring." Deimos shrugged.
The quotation below has risen to 20,000 gold coins. The three private rooms next to Room 1 also participated in the bidding. There are a total of 4 private rooms in the entire venue. Except for Dimos and Angelet, everyone else participated.
The bidding atmosphere seemed lively for a while.
Snap!!
The small hammer struck hard.
"34,000 gold coins. Congratulations, Mr. Keynes, this book is yours." The old auctioneer said loudly.
After the books were removed, a heavy white box was slowly carried up by four people.
"The following is the main item to be sold in this auction." The auctioneer picked up an information sheet and adjusted his glasses and said loudly.
"The Montelisa stone symbolizes freedom and dreams. The most precious and beautiful jewelry!"
Following the auctioneer's voice, the box was quickly opened.
Inside the big white box is a smaller box. A girl opened the small box with a key. A smaller box was revealed inside.
Another girl stepped forward and opened it with the key again. Finally, a black diamond-shaped box was revealed inside, with a silver-blue complex pattern tattooed on the middle surface. It looked like a blooming silver-blue rose.
The last girl stepped forward and opened the box again with the key.
The lid of the box slowly opened, and a dazzling fluorescent light shined through the gap.
hiss....
The moment the lid of the box was fully opened, the whole place heard gasping sounds.
"It's so beautiful..."
"This is the most beautiful and perfect gem I have ever seen in my life..."
"It is indeed known as the most beautiful jewelry in the world - the Monte Lisa Stone."
Some aristocratic women covered their mouths tightly, their faces filled with wonder and shock. Even the aristocratic men showed surprise in their eyes and stood up one after another and exclaimed in admiration.
In the box, an oval gem the size of an egg is lying quietly among the black silk. The completely transparent crystal faintly reflects the colorful iridescent halo.
Angelet looked at it from the private room, but he didn't feel anything. The artificial gemstones on the earth are much larger than this, and the appearance is not that bad. Naturally, he will not lose his composure because of this.
On the other hand, Dimos next to him looked intoxicated.
"Monlisa's Stone is the purest gem in the legend. It doesn't seem to be of much use except for viewing." Angelet shrugged.
