Chapter 120 He still has to thank us (ask for monthly ticket)
Dolores's gaze did not linger on Gray for too long. She soon introduced Ron to some other nobles, who were basically the legitimate sons of dukes and marquises. This time, there were really a lot of heavyweight characters.
After a while, the auctioneer finally appeared and started today's auction. Although some of the items auctioned earlier looked pretty good, they obviously failed to arouse the enthusiasm of the crowd.
Because there was little competition, Ron also took a shot and bought several materials used to refine resentful spirits.
Just when the clock on the wall pointed to nine o'clock in the evening, the long-awaited Thunder and Fire Sword finally appeared.
The moment the host took out the Thunder and Fire Sword, the noisy sounds at the scene instantly disappeared, leaving only suppressed gasps. The atmosphere was so intense that Ron even couldn't help but worry that someone would rush up and snatch the Thunder and Fire Sword away.
The host was too lazy to even say more and directly chose to reveal the attributes of the Thunder and Fire Sword.
After seeing the column "Enhancement Level: 10", the scene became even quieter.
"A weapon with a ten-fold enhancement, paired with an enhancement transfer scroll, its value needs no further explanation. The starting price is 10,000 gold coins, and each bid must be no less than 1,000. The auction begins now..."
The starting price was set very low.
But it doesn't matter, for something like this that can't fail to sell, once the competition starts, no one will remember what the starting price was.
The scene was deathly silent.
No one spoke, they were all calculating the price in their minds, and at the same time, they looked around at the competitors. Although they were rich, it didn't mean that they were suckers and had to pay more gold coins for this sword.
In this kind of auction, figuring out the financial strength of competitors is a very important part.
The host was not in a hurry at all, and even had a smile on his face, waiting silently.
"Thirty thousand gold coins..."
I don't know how much time passed before a voice broke the silence. Dolores looked at Ron in surprise, as if she didn't expect Ron to make an offer at this time.
After all, with Ron's ability to easily strengthen his weapons to +13, this weapon with +10 is just garbage to him.
But how smart is Dolores? The doubts in her mind flashed away, and a smile soon appeared on her face. She is really a sinister person.
This offer broke the thoughts of many nobles.
The host on the stage very cooperatively picked up the small hammer and pretended to knock it down: "Thirty thousand gold coins, is there a higher price? If not..."
At this moment, the thoughts of many competitors who were trying to obtain the Thunder and Fire Sword were all confused. Some of them noticed the host's little trick, but there was nothing they could do except to curse him as shameless.
The sound began to echo in the venue.
As for the original small nobles like Lucius and Carlisle, they didn't even have the qualifications to participate. They stared with wide eyes at this group of tycoons who came from the royal capital. In a short period of time, they raised the price to a level that was difficult for them, the remote nobles, to accept.
It seems that money is not money!
"Fifty thousand gold coins."
“Sixty thousand…”
“Ninety thousand…”
"One hundred thousand!"
It didn't take long for the auction price of the Thunderfire Sword to exceed 100,000. Even though Ron was considered to be a calm man, his heart couldn't help but tremble when he heard the number 100,000.
One hundred thousand gold coins.
Can it cover the entire floor of the room?
Next time when you go out to buy milk tea, you can buy two cups, drink one and pour the other.
Ron slowly picked up the teacup on the table. He couldn't lose his composure. In the eyes of Dolores, Cecilia and Charlene, he was tall and majestic...but the slight ripples on the surface of the teacup still revealed that Ron's mood was not so calm.
Even more outrageous things are yet to come.
One hundred thousand gold coins did not scare away these extremely wealthy second-generation nobles.
While ordinary people could hardly even come up with a gold coin, the nobles never worried about gold coins. What's more, some even built toilets and restrooms out of gold to show off their wealth.
One hundred thousand gold coins, for a great noble, can only be considered an ordinary expense... that's all.
"One hundred and twenty thousand!"
"One hundred and twenty-one thousand."
Just at this moment, a voice joined the competition.
The voice was a little weak.
It was Lindnorman, probably the richest among these nobles, but his bid was only one thousand, the lowest.
This kind of stingy behavior immediately attracted some disdainful glances from the nobles. Being stingy was simply detrimental to the honor of the nobility.
"One hundred and fifty thousand." Another nobleman raised the price to one hundred and fifty thousand. Dolores had introduced him to Ron. He was a member of the royal family's collateral branch, a marquis, and a good man.
"One hundred and fifty-one thousand."
Linde continued to slowly raise the price by one thousand.
"One hundred and sixty thousand..."
"One hundred and sixty-one thousand..."
Gradually, everyone saw through Lind's attitude. No matter who offered a price, he would add one thousand gold coins to the other party's price.
Damn it, what is the most infatuated person in the world? This guy is a damn bastard, a scumbag.
This leisurely posture shows that Lind is determined to obtain the Thunderfire Sword. In addition, as the eldest son of the Grand Duke, if he can scare away all the nobles, then Lind can get the Thunderfire Sword at a relatively low price.
This guy has a really dirty heart. I will never introduce my good brother to you. I will definitely tell him to be careful of a guy named Lind in the future. He is a bastard.
Ron understood Lind's thoughts and kept complaining in his heart.
There is no doubt that Linde's simple and crude method has produced quite good results. The originally enthusiastic quotations have slowed down at some point.
"One hundred and eighty thousand." A marquis's heir tried to give a price.
"One hundred and eighty-one thousand."
Shaking his head, the nobleman withdrew from the competition.
Damn it, why are you being so scared? Just keep going and beat him to death.
Ron complained in his heart about the uselessness of these second-generation nobles.
There are fewer and fewer competitors, and the price is rising more and more slowly. Although this number is far beyond Ron's initial expectations, he originally thought that it would be good enough to sell it for tens of thousands of gold coins.
But...no one would complain about having too much gold coins.
Especially for Ron, who now has less than ten gold coins left.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lind continued to taste the coffee slowly, but his determination to win was growing stronger and stronger.
At this point, there were fewer and fewer nobles who could continue to compete with Lind, and only scattered voices remained. It was obvious that they were not very confident, and they became extremely cautious in raising the price.
"Two hundred thousand." At this moment, another sinister voice suddenly sounded.
Ron's eyelashes twitched slightly. It was Gray Andre.
I was right. Go ahead, Gray, you are the best.
As the descendant of a saint, you must not be cowardly and must safeguard the honor of the Andre family.
In his heart, Ron gave extremely high praise and evaluation to this young man, and even his originally sinister face seemed to look a little more pleasing to the eye.
Linde frowned slightly: "Two hundred thousand one hundred."
Grayandre, who had just risen up, became weak. Two hundred thousand gold coins was his limit. If he could buy this Thunder and Fire Sword, he might need to borrow money to go home.
As a result, the number of 200,000 gold coins was still easily slammed down by Linde.
"Tsk, useless trash."
Ron muttered quietly.
Dolores just looked at Ron quietly from the side, with a growing smile on her face. The person he loved was a little greedy and a little shameless...
His behavior may damage the image of the prophet.
But this performance finally gave Dolores a sense of reality. The person she loved was a living person, not a mysterious, unknown, and unpredictable existence.
"Two hundred and one thousand, is there anyone who wants to raise the price..." the host asked on the stage.
The scene was silent.
"This is a weapon with a ten-strength enhancement. It also comes with a reinforcement transfer scroll. You can completely enhance it and transfer it to a weapon that suits you... Everyone knows how precious equipment with a ten-strength enhancement is. In the entire Granville Kingdom, only the Grand Saint, the Vice Pope, and the Valkyrie have three of them. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know how many more years you will have to wait. Don't miss this opportunity..."
The host was spitting all over the place.
Unfortunately, the price of two hundred thousand one is really too exaggerated.
Even the nobles from the royal city would feel the pain, especially with Lind, who had no shortage of money, standing in front of them. It would be meaningless to continue quoting, and it would also offend the future Grand Duke.
None of them are stupid.
"Two hundred thousand and one hundred thousand twice..."
"Two hundred thousand one hundred thousand..."
Just as the hammer was about to fall for the third time, a voice suddenly rang out: "Two hundred and fifty thousand gold coins."
The host was immediately shocked: "Two hundred and fifty thousand, the guest in box three bid two hundred and fifty thousand, is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"
Linde frowned, the price in his mind was 300,000, and he would give up if the price exceeded this. He thought 200,000 was enough and he could save 100,000...but suddenly someone jumped out and raised the price to 250,000...the money saved became less, which meant he lost money.
For a moment, Linde did not continue to make offers and felt a little depressed.
In the box, Ron clenched his fingers subconsciously. He was doomed. He must not accidentally drop it on his hands.
I wouldn't have added fuel to the fire if I had known this.
After a few seconds, Linde finally spoke slowly: "Two hundred and fifty-one thousand."
The moment the voice fell, Ron breathed a sigh of relief.
After Lind finished his offer, he immediately looked towards the box where Ron was. He knew that the eldest princess and her lover were inside. "Sir, this Thunder and Fire Sword has dual attributes of thunder and fire, which is very suitable for me. I hope you can give me some face. I will definitely repay you in the future."
Face is worth only a few dollars, gold coins are real.
In the box, Ron's eyelids drooped, and a low but steady voice slowly floated out: "Forget it, if that's the case, then I won't take away someone else's love. I'll give this Thunder Fire Sword to you."
The posture should be sufficient and the tone just right!
"Thank you, sir!"
