Chapter 116 The painting that will escape

As soon as the light dimmed, the spotlights focused on the booth in front, and a lady in a gorgeous dress walked out from under the curtain behind the booth.

"Welcome to all of you to participate in this auction of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce. We will display twenty-three items for you to compete during the auction. This auction is more special than in the past. All guests here please wait and see.

"There was no microphone, but the lady's voice reached every guest's ears. It was neither too loud nor too soft, and the volume was just right.

"No more nonsense, let's appreciate the first item first."

"A sleeping Tanvia can reach up to four meters in size when it reaches adulthood. I believe that you have seen a Tanvia when you passed through the middle level, and you must have questions in your mind. And what I can tell you is that this

Only Tanvia is a mutant."

The lady smiled and finished her words, "The starting price is four hundred gutons."

"Four hundred and ten gutons."

"Four hundred and fifteen gutons."

...

In the end, the tanvia was bought by a guest in the VIP room for four hundred and sixty gutons.

"How much purchasing power does four hundred gutons have?" Because her parents are in the real estate business, Lilina has always been very sensitive to money matters.

"The price circulation in the magical world is unstable, but there is a rough standard. Four hundred gutons should be enough for you to spend a lot of money in a prosperous area like London for a long time, provided that you will not be cheated."

"The average wizard's normal monthly salary is only about one to three gutons."

Esther looked at the booth and said: "This is nothing, the more expensive ones are coming later."

Soon, the second product arrived. It was a girl with bright red short hair. She looked Asian, but I didn’t know which country she was from.

Human trafficking is also allowed in the magic world. Until now, the magic world has not abolished slavery. Slave contracts have legal effects. Demons can also be regarded as a disguised form of slavery, but it needs to be described in a nice way.

Some.

"Sit down, Lilina, and watch carefully. This is something you must learn." Esther shouted.

"But those are people, how could they..."

"I said, sit down!" An order came out, and no matter how reluctant Lilina was, under Esther's order, she had no choice but to sit down obediently.

"Watch carefully." Esther said softly.

"This is one thing you must learn after becoming a vampire, learn to be indifferent."

There was a noisy discussion at the venue, and the object of the discussion was none other than the red-haired girl on the booth.

"Please be quiet."

The venue gradually became quiet.

The lady at the booth continued: "I believe you have already seen what is different about this girl. Yes, red hair is a sign of excess magic power."

"A rare pet of nature that is rare in a hundred years, a child with powerful magic power from birth. Her existence is like a high-power magic furnace. I believe that you all understand the value of this girl, so I don't need to elaborate too much.

Already."

"Starting price...."

However, before the lady at the booth could quote the price, something unexpected happened.

A man in a black coat suddenly appeared at the auction. He seemed like a shadow, his face covered by a white cloth. But even so, it was not difficult to find that what was covered under the white cloth was not a human face.

.

"A thousand gutons."

"Sir, I'm sorry, I don't have a quotation yet..." the lady at the booth said in embarrassment.

"Fifteen hundred gutons."

"gentlemen...."

"Two thousand gutons." As he spoke, the man had already walked to the booth and cut off the chain around the girl's neck.

"No matter how much it costs, I will take you back." The man declared.

The woman who was in trouble at the booth glanced at President Luo in the background, and saw President Luo nodded slightly. Then the woman said with relief: "Do any of you present have any higher bids?"

There was a lot of discussion outside the venue, but no one continued to bid.

"Since no one bids, congratulations..."

"Two thousand five hundred gutons." A calm voice came from the VIP room.

Lilina looked at Crow in surprise. Did she hear it right? That was the price quoted by Crow just now.

At this time, the lady in charge of hosting the auction on the booth was almost breaking out in a cold sweat. Whether it was the person in front of her or the guests in the private room upstairs, they were not easy to mess with.

The voice of the man standing on the booth came from under the white cloth again: "Three thousand Gutons." At the same time, he also looked towards the VIP private room.

In the distance, he seemed to be looking at the crow.

Crow, who was sitting next to Esther, said, "I didn't expect to see an old friend here, so I couldn't help but want to tease him."

"It's been a long time indeed." Esther said.

In the end, after the man quoted the price of three thousand gutons, there was no response, and it got the red-haired girl as it wished.

The auction is still going on. The purpose of Ya's participation in this auction is for Bai Youlan. Bai Youlan was ranked the twelfth product. After having the previous 2500 gutons, when Ya made another bid, no one present dared to continue to follow.

Quotation.

...

"Finally, we have arrived at the last item of our auction. Different from the past, the finale of this auction is not a precious item. No, it may not be appropriate to say this. It should be said that it is its preciousness.

It hasn't been discovered yet." The lady stretched out her hand, "Without further ado, please take a look!"

What was pushed onto the booth was a tightly sealed iron cage, but what was puzzling was that what was locked in the iron cage was not a girl with animal ears or a beautiful girl, but a painting and a look.

It looks like an extremely confusing painting.

It's like a child's random graffiti, it can't even be called art.

"You must be curious why a cage is used in a painting. I can tell you that this painting is not as meaningless as it seems. There is a treasure map hidden in it. I can point this out with the redbud flower here.

I made a guarantee in the name of the Chamber of Commerce. Of course, if it were just because there was a treasure map hidden in the painting, it would not be enough to lock the painting in a cage."

The lady continued: "The reason why the painting is really locked up is because it is a painting that can escape on its own. So far, since this painting was in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce, there have been one hundred and forty-two escape records, which can be called

It is the product that has escaped the most since the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, so customers who buy this painting should be careful. If the painting escapes, the Chamber of Commerce will not be responsible."

"Then finally, the starting price is one thousand gutons."

PS: How many people know who the red-haired girl is?
