Chapter 792 Mark
Silangjun spoke in a nonchalant tone.
Jiang Lianzhu couldn't help but guess that Silangjun must be a man who had seen the world. In the future, if she followed Silangjun out to gain some experience, she would definitely broaden her horizons.
She was actually a curious person who couldn't stay still. If she had known Silangjun earlier, she would have hung out with him.
Liao Jiudu had to stand aside.
I took another bite of the pear. It was juicy, sweet, crisp and fragrant.
There are also cherries, which are big and round, and they taste delicious just by smelling them.
The tea on the table was also good tea. Jiang Lianzhu tasted it but couldn't tell the difference.
She didn't know much about tea.
After Silangjun entered the room, he had a serious expression. Jiang Lianzhu handed him a cup of tea and said, "Fourth brother, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
"It's a small matter. When we came in just now, someone marked both of us." Silangjun took the tea and took a sip.
Jiang Lianzhu was puzzled.
"Ah! What's going on? Who is it?" She didn't notice anything at all.
Her martial arts skills were low and she didn't dare to use her magic power, so she was marked twice without knowing it.
A bit frustrating.
Fortunately, Silangjun is here.
"I'm not sure. The marked people are stronger than the last ones. They all used witchcraft power. They should be from the Darong Kingdom."
Jiang Lianzhu was very angry. Could it be that her father’s disappearance was related to the people of Darong Country?
"I also have magical powers, but I've never used them because I'm afraid people will find out..."
If she used her magic power to protect herself, she would definitely find out if someone marked her.
Si Langjun said, "You'd better not use your magic power for now. Once you do, some people will be able to guess your identity. For now, we can't reveal our identities to avoid alerting the enemy and causing harm to our adoptive father. I'm here to protect you."
Jiang Lianzhu also had this plan.
Save your strength first, and then catch the enemy off guard.
If her magic power was much higher than others, she wouldn't have to do this. Being much higher than others would be suppressive and would make others afraid to attack her. But she was neither strong nor weak, so she was afraid of exposing herself as a target.
"Well, thank you, Fourth Brother!"
The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Lianzhu tasted all the fruits and vegetables on the plate and also tasted the cakes.
The pastries are okay, but overall, fruits and vegetables are better.
There was also fine wine. Jiang Lianzhu took a sip and her face flushed. Silangjun didn't drink any of it. He only drank tea.
Jiang Lianzhu ate fruits and sat by the window, watching the situation outside.
There are six private rooms like theirs on the third floor.
It's an independent and closed one, so you can't see who's inside or how many people are there...
At this point, the place should be almost full.
The private room on the second floor is open-plan, with elegant seats inside, so you can clearly see how many people are sitting there.
There are tables and chairs in the lobby on the first floor, one for each person, so densely packed, just like a movie theater.
After a while, the hall was full and it was time for the auction to begin!
Everyone in the audience waited with bated breath.
Jiang Lianzhu cheered up. She and Silangjun had already sat in the best seats by the window and were waiting.
In the lobby on the first floor, a slim young woman appeared.
"...Welcome all distinguished guests. This auction features a total of one hundred items, all of which are top-quality natural treasures. We've got everything you can think of. I'll keep the details to myself for now. Let me first explain the rules of our auction. All items will have a reserve price. Bidding will proceed based on that reserve price, and the highest bidder will win..."
These words ignited the passion of everyone present.
"It really deserves to be the grand finale! One hundred treasures! Yes! Yes!"
"Before, there were only dozens of auction items, rarely over a hundred..."
"Will you use anything to make up the numbers?"
"Impossible. Items from the auction house are not comparable to ordinary street vendors. And since it's the grand finale, I believe the items are all very good."
"Brother, you guessed right. I'm short of money and want to sell my family heirloom for some silver. I had already communicated with the people at the auction house and was able to go to the auction house. But a few days ago, the auction house suddenly contacted me and returned my heirloom, saying that they would replace it with a batch of treasures of better quality. I was so angry..."
"Oh? How do you sell your heirlooms?"
…
The young woman on the stage introduced all the rules and asked everyone if they understood them.
All the participants said they understood.
The young woman was the host of the auction. "Okay, the auction is officially starting."
She had a small drum and a small hammer in her hands and struck it hard.
The main door and side doors of the auction house all slowly closed.
The circular fortress on the top was open-air before, but now it is closed. The top is full of luminous pearls, and the light is soft and bright.
This is also for the sake of security and privacy.
"Next, our first item for this auction is a treasure map. Because it's a special item, you can only view it for a limited time. I'll count to one, two, three and you can start viewing. When I say stop, it will be closed. The reserve price for the treasure map is fifty thousand taels of silver."
Two beautiful girls came out from backstage holding a tray.
There was a small golden box on the tray.
The two girls came to the center of the empty display stand and opened the small golden box on the tray.
Inside was a yellowed parchment.
The parchment was only half opened, and the other side was still hidden.
This half is for everyone present to see.
"One, two, three, start..."
Those who can come in are all strong people, and they have some eyesight. They can see a treasure map clearly from dozens of meters away.
Some of them don’t even require seeing, you can sense them directly with your consciousness.
Jiang Lianzhu leaned against the window and looked down.
From her high vantage point, she could see more clearly the half of the treasure map below.
It's a pity that I didn't see anything special.
"Fourth brother, what is that treasure map below? Why is the starting price 50,000? Isn't that too expensive? Can you find a treasure worth so much money?"
Si Langjun replied, "It should be a fragment of a treasure map from an ancient relic. Some people will understand it and think it's worth it, but ordinary people don't need it."
"It's still a fragment!" The starting price of one fragment is fifty thousand, how much silver is the whole map worth!
"So, how many pictures does this one have?"
"I don't know, seven or eight should be enough." Si Langjun has a cold and aloof personality, but he is extremely patient with Jiang Lianzhu.
Seven or eight! If the starting price is 50,000 each, and you bid on them casually, the total would be over a million!
Jiang Lianzhu was shocked.
The host said, "Stop!"
The two girls rolled up half of the picture tightly.
No one can see it.
Everyone started bidding.
There are still people who know what they are talking about.
"fifty thousand!"
"Fifty-five thousand..."
…
The young host tapped a small drum and reminded, "Dear guest, the starting bid for all items in this auction is 10,000 silver notes. Zero plus does not count. 50,000 is valid. Please proceed."
