The expression on King Arthur's face became very strange for a moment.
When it comes to ability, he considers himself to be more than a step ahead of the other party, but no matter what means he uses to improve the guild's strength in the past few years, the other party will always take advantage of its strong economic advantages to quickly catch up.
There was a time when he was very afraid that when he woke up, his guild would suddenly be swallowed up by his opponent's huge funds.
Facts have proved that his worries are somewhat unnecessary. The forces behind the other party do not seem to want to defeat their guild, or they just want to maintain a balance.
After understanding this, King Arthur gave up the idea of making the Knights of the Round Table under his leadership a unique guild in the UK. Because of this, while developing his own strength, his biggest hobby was to cause chaos for the other party.
In the past several conflicts, the Guild of St. England was also an indirect beneficiary of this matter.
"It just so happens that I am also somewhat interested in that fragment. My old friend won't mind, right?" King Arthur's strange expression quickly returned to its original state, and he looked at his opponent with a smile.
Lavis knew this very well, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "Competition, of course, is fun when there are people competing for it, as long as you don't feel bad when the time comes."
Hearing the words of his old rival, King Arthur couldn't help but tremble in his heart. At this time, the major guilds have not yet entered the profit period, and their guilds are not as wealthy as the other guild. If they really push the other party, maybe the other party will really get away and leave.
, then it will be you who will be fooled.
What Lavis wants is this effect. They have abundant funds and can afford no matter how big the loss is, but the other party may not be able to.
By the time the two of them walked into the auction house, many people were already participating in the fight for the fragments of the Royal Sword. Among these people were money warriors who spent a lot of money, as well as giants from small and medium-sized guilds.
For these people, even if they don't have the shipbuilding blueprints of the Spanish galleon, they can buy this exclusive modification and exchange it with others for what they need if they don't need it for the time being.
Due to historical reasons, some guilds in Europe have their own communication channels. Many guilds or forces will take some resources that they cannot use internationally and exchange them with organizations in other countries for what they need.
Basically, this kind of transaction adheres to the principle of bartering, so a good treasure is very popular.
The auction price has been called up to 45 gold coins. The increase is not big. It goes up by half a gold coin every time, which is very reasonable.
"A bunch of bumpkins actually want to compete with me for 80 gold coins."
Lavis glanced at King Arthur as if inadvertently. This group of rustics naturally included the latter.
When many people saw that the auction price of the item suddenly nearly doubled, they couldn't help but cry wolf and asked who the buyer was.
Most of the players who can now afford dozens of gold coins have some connections at hand. In addition, the collision between Lavis and King Arthur is considered high-profile. This information quickly flowed into the ears of some people who were interested in it.
It even attracted the attention of some foreign giants. After learning about this, the Duke of Norton in Spain ordered members of the British branch to get the fragment of the royal sword as much as possible. The reason is that Spanish things are not allowed to be touched by outsiders.
.
This reason is too strong, but it is actually impossible to do it.
Blue-level ships are not unique, that is, any ship can be obtained by players from other countries.
Seeing that his old friend had made an offer, King Arthur naturally would not be idle. He reported a number in a leisurely manner, "100 gold coins."
Although he was a little worried that the other party would suddenly pull away and leave, it was not at this time. Based on his understanding of this old friend, he should not give in so easily before breaking through the other party's psychological bottom line.
Sure enough, Lavis just looked at the other person with a sneer and continued to increase the price.
"150."
For a piece of modified fragments of an exclusive ship, the price is already much higher, at least much higher than Wang Hao expected.
Wang Hao measured the item based on its actual value, but did not consider how someone who could afford a Spanish galleon would be reluctant to spend dozens or hundreds of gold coins to make it more perfect.
Coupled with the objective push from King Arthur and others, the prices of items are still rising.
"180."
"200."
"205."
"210."
"..."
It is worth mentioning that after the price of the item was raised to 200 pieces, the growth rate began to decrease.
The only ones still participating in the competition were the Knights of the Round Table and the Royal Naval Association. As for Duke Norton, after weighing the two sides, he still gave up this fight of emotions. After all, sending money from Spain to the UK to participate in the competition would only have to deduct the handling fee.
A large amount of money is really not worth it.
Lavis glared at the other person fiercely again, and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead, reflecting the intense psychological activity in his heart.
Although King Arthur still has a faint smile on his face, judging from the trembling hands tied behind his back, he is no less nervous than the other person.
Because there are so many places where money is spent in the guild, often going in with the left hand and going out with the right hand, the current price is already one-third of their guild’s active funds.
King Arthur secretly warned himself not to be impulsive. His eyes swept over the other party's chubby face. Judging from the other party's expression, the price was obviously very close to the psychological bottom line.
Should we raise the price?
With his mind turning, he quickly made a decision and stepped forward slowly. He even saw a look of determination on his old friend's face, as if you dare to increase the price, I will give up.
"Old friend, I have to say that your performance was very good. Even I was almost fooled, but don't you think your assistant was too calm?" King Arthur walked up to Lavis and whispered this.
After saying that, he immediately turned around and quoted a brand new high price.
"300 gold coins."
Lavis glanced at the assistant next to him in shame. Although his reason told him that the other person was right, whenever he thought of King Arthur's words, he couldn't help but have the urge to curse.
It has to be said that this time King Arthur's bidding was too accurate, and it was holding Lavis's lifeline in check. He had just stepped on the latter's bottom line, making it impossible for him to advance or retreat.
The expression on Lavis's face changed uncertainly. He stood up several times and prepared to exit the auction house, but as soon as he thought of the fragment and the other party's hateful smile, he...
"301, if you dare to add one more gold coin, I will turn around and leave immediately." Lavis looked at the other party very seriously and said.
Hearing these words, King Arthur also breathed a sigh of relief. What he wanted was to win big if he won. If he lost... he would not lose.
At the moment when the items were successfully sold, Lavis felt quite exhausted. Although his opponent maliciously raised the price a lot, he finally achieved his goal, showed his financial resources, and bought what he wanted.
.
Thinking of this, the expression on Lavis's face improved a lot. He was about to say a few sarcastic words to the other party when he saw King Arthur walking up and said mysteriously: "I still have some money here, do you want it?"
As early as when he learned that the other party was on a galleons mission, King Arthur began to send people to collect the Royal Sword fragments, with the idea of preventing the other party from getting a complete set, or killing the other party at the critical moment.
It is precisely because of this confidence that he shouted out such a number at the last moment. Even if the other party really gave up at that time, he would be able to get two pieces of the Royal Sword, and then resell them without losing money.
What.
"You..." Lavis's eyes suddenly bulged, and the next moment he fell straight back, fainting from the anger.
