Chapter 121 Eau Claire (Congratulations to the leader of Pingbao Roar!)
'This hidden meaning is that there is a high probability that there are no mysterious books, so don't think about missing them?'
Aaron smiled and nodded: "I just came to take a look..."
As for why Clark brought Bruce here, it is easy to understand.
‘Secret Historians’ are always very thirsty for items with an ancient flavor.
"Now, let's take a look at the first lot, the Fronio gold plate! This is a sacrificial utensil used by the purple-eyed nobles to worship their god, the green banyan tree grandmother. It is made of gold as the main body and is inlaid with a large number of gems.
The ancient text of 'Fronio' is also engraved on it... The starting price is 200 pounds, and each increase in price must not be less than 10 pounds!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, a businessman on the first floor raised his hand impatiently: "210 pounds!"
"220 pounds!"
…
Clark seemed to be accustomed to the lively scenes, and he laughed and said: "These nouveau riche always think that by decorating their homes with oil paintings, antiques, and famous horses and dogs, they can get tickets to the upper class... For us historians
From a personal perspective, what is truly valuable about a cultural relic is its inherent value!”
'I heard a faint sour smell from it...' Aaron cursed in his heart, but he also knew that Mr. Das was not a rich man.
For him, buying this Fronio gold plate is a bit of a luxury. The other party's real target should be those items that are not high in value but have a strong historical flavor. As for whether the material is gold, silver or clay, it doesn't matter.
Not the slightest difference.
In the end, after a lot of looting by the wealthy people on the first floor, the Fronio gold plate was taken away by someone in the second-floor box at a high price of 420 gold pounds, like a silent irony.
"The second piece, turquoise pendant, starting price is 50 pounds... each increase in price must not be less than 2 pounds!"
The impact of the second collection was not so great. Aaron watched with a cold eye and found that most of the prices of the subsequent auction items ranged from tens to hundreds of pounds, and occasionally there were unsold auctions.
However, no auction items that met his wishes appeared, so he never participated in the competition.
Clark, on the other hand, purchased a clay vase and a copper page recording ancient poetry for 90 pounds and 45 pounds respectively.
"The following will be the finale of this auction."
The host's voice on the high platform suddenly became louder, and he pulled back the red silk covering the collection, revealing the glass cabinet behind it.
And on the black velvet in the glass cabinet, an ancient ring was lying quietly.
It is completely black, with traces of rust, and has a pattern of twisted banyan trees on the front.
The style of this ancient ring was famous a thousand years ago. Many lords and nobles liked to use it to press the wax to seal letters, or to use it as a seal at the end of a document.
The host's enthusiastic voice slowly echoed in the auction hall: "Green Forest Power Ring! It was once a symbol of the Earl of Green Forest. Although its authority was replaced by the King's Seal after the establishment of the Fabry Dynasty, this did not detract from its charm.
... Its former owners include the legendary inventor Aaron Sotos, and the Witch Emperor Ginny Sotos!"
No need for him to introduce it too much, everyone present understood the value of this ring.
"impossible!"
Clark clutched his chest. If he hadn't been a Beyonder, Aaron would have thought he was going to have a heart attack.
"This kind of collection should appear in the Kingdom Auction House in Pulmouth... How come it appears here?" Clark kept murmuring, seeming to be greatly frightened: "But the historical atmosphere here is so strong...
...It shouldn't be...According to historical records, the ring representing the jurisdiction of the Green Forest was lost in the Oath-Breaching War initiated by the Elector of Auclair, and its whereabouts have been unknown since then..."
"A battle against oath?" Aaron blinked.
There is no such content in his supplementary historical knowledge.
Seeing this, Bruce explained in a low voice: "The founder of the Fabry Dynasty, the Witch Emperor Ginny Sotos, had a total of five children in her life. One of them inherited the throne, and the other four became elected.
Emperors, according to the ancient blood oath, the direct descendants of the four families also have the right to inherit the kingdom..."
"When she became a certain Witch Emperor, she was faced with the problem of having no heirs. She once chose her nephew Auclair Sotos as his successor. He was a direct descendant of a family of electors, and his conditions were perfect in all aspects... But in his later years,
, this witch emperor picked up a baby girl from nowhere, claimed that this was her daughter, and tricked Au Claire thoroughly..."
"Auclaire claimed that this was a betrayal of his oath and the greatest insult to him. In the sixteenth year after returning to the fiefdom, when the Witch Emperor died, a rebellion started... This caused great harm to the Fabry dynasty.
A large number of people and soldiers, nobles died, countless
Precious cultural relics were lost or destroyed... But in the end, Auclair was defeated. He escaped and was never heard from again in history. The one who defeated him was the then sixteen-year-old new emperor Isabella Soto.
Si! She is also known as the bloody witch in history!"
"It is said that the rebels at that time once attacked the palace and kept it in the palace. The ring representing the Earl of Green Forest was also missing in the chaos..."
…
'What a mess...'
Aaron was a little speechless: 'But the result was okay, the meat was rotten in the pot anyway.'
He chuckled lightly and looked at Clark, "So...Mr. Das, do you think that is true?"
"I'm not sure, but the strong historical atmosphere on it cannot be faked. It should be about a thousand years old..." Clark shook his head, his brows filled with regret: "Unfortunately... its final price must be a sky-high price. I can't help it."
Extravagant hope..."
'That might be an imitation from a thousand years ago...'
Aaron muttered to himself and looked at the collection.
He had worn the genuine article for six years and had touched it countless times. Looking at the collection now, he did not feel the subtle sense of familiarity.
At the same time, something stirred in his heart, and he sensed some kind of danger spiritually.
‘Is it possible that I have awakened the protagonist’s physique and going to the auction will cause problems?’
Aaron complained in his mind, took out a coin, and rolled it back and forth between his five fingers as if bored.
In the end, he divined and came to the conclusion that there was a certain risk, but it was bearable, and he continued to watch the lively auction bidding.
"Green Forest Power Ring, the base price is 2,000 pounds, and each increase in price must not be less than 100 pounds!"
the auctioneer announced loudly.
The next moment, a slightly trembling female voice sounded from the corner: "2,100 pounds!"
"2,200 pounds!"
Soon, she was pushed down.
In the box on the second floor, Lord Lake, who originally maintained his aristocratic elegance, couldn't help but tugged on his bow tie and roared: "3,000 pounds!"
