Broad World

"Thank you all the guests for your enthusiasm for tonight. Now please let me introduce you to the last finale, a crown from the ancient elven empire. Although it has been impossible to verify whether it belongs to Melita or Erisri, But there is no doubt that it symbolizes the supreme power-kingship. I believe no one will want to miss it. The reserve price is 15,000 gold coins, and each bid is at least 2,000. Now you can start bidding."

Pointing to the crystal crown studded with countless diamonds, which was carefully prevented from being on the table, Cynthia's tone was very excited, with a slight redness on her face and neck, coupled with her amazing beauty and exposed skin, immediately let the people present. The men can't hold it.

Of course, what makes them even more uncontrollable is the crown that exudes devastating brilliance, especially the crystal clear red diamond at the top, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

The men present were able to produce such a strong impulse, not to mention those crazy women. Several noble ladies even unbuttoned their chests to prevent themselves from passing out due to too rapid breathing.

Gorgeous appearance!

The rare red diamond in the world!

a long history!

This crown satisfies almost all the qualities required by the handed down treasure. People who are a little bit sensible are very clear about its value, so the tension and depressive atmosphere spread rapidly.

Just now, the smiling nobles showed their vigilant eyes. In their eyes, everyone around them might be their own competitors, and some were prepared to mortgage their property.

Perhaps it was the reason for the nervousness. The hall fell silent for a while. Everyone was thinking about the limit price they could bear, and even forgot to bid...

Perhaps in their eyes, the mere 15,000 gold coins are simply an insult to this treasure. So they are waiting for others to bid first, and then wait until they are almost lifted before they fight for it.

"Guess what, how much can this thing be sold for?" Henry smiled playfully, lowered his voice and asked his wife.

Shikodi stared at the dazzling diamond on the crown, and replied reluctantly: "I hope it will not be too low. Otherwise, I will probably be tempted to **** it back. I really don't understand what you think. If such a precious collection is put up for auction, is it worthless in your eyes?"

Henry touched his chin and shook his head slightly: "No, on the contrary, it is quite valuable in my eyes, but you have to understand that the floating city has greatly reduced my property. If I don't get supplements, many things are possible. It was forced to run aground, so antiques and jewelry like this kind of no practical use became the best choice."

In fact, this crown was originally placed with the "sacred scepter". If nothing happens, it should be a very precious antique.

But unfortunately, except for the huge red diamond that can be used to make magical items, the rest is completely useless, so it's not surprising that he took it out to exchange money.

After a few minutes of silence. A lady in a blue dress finally couldn't help but raised her right hand high.

Cynthia noticed this action at a glance, and immediately shouted: "This noble lady has bid! Now it is fifteen thousand gold coins, is there any higher?"

"Twenty thousand!"

"Twenty-five thousand!"

"forty thousand!"

"Sixty thousand!"

...

Before she started to mobilize her emotions, the guests on the scene fell into a frenzy, and the price easily soared over 100,000, and it was still rising. There is no tendency to stop at all, none of them are willing to give up the plan to put this rare treasure in their pockets, so they are all ready to fight to the death, and some guys even begin to figure out whether they want to mortgage some of the industries.

After all, the money can still be earned again, but after missing this opportunity, I am afraid it will be difficult to meet again.

The fierce bidding made the originally polite nobles tore off their camouflage and began to show their primitive and barbaric side. The hall was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, and each other glared at each other even more.

Soon, a man from Cormyr finally couldn't afford the higher and higher prices, and directly took out a contract document from his arms and came to Henry's full front. A deep bow: "Your Majesty, I have here a manor in the Kingdom of Cormyr, covering an area of ​​more than 540 square kilometers, including a beautiful five-story castle, large tracts of farmland, livestock and poultry, and surrounding areas. The two mountains are also included. And the number of tenant farmers is sufficient, I hope to sell it in exchange for some gold coins."

"Oh? You actually took out the land!" Henry looked at the man in front of him in surprise, with an incredible expression on his face.

We must know that there is an inseparable relationship between the nobles and the land. No matter how poor or down, they will rarely take the land out for trading. They all know that once they lose their land, they will be separated from the ranks of nobles, and their descendants will soon be reduced to ordinary people.

In the Faerun continent, most countries still have a very traditional enfeoffment system. The monarch establishes a legal system that recognizes each other by closely linking his subordinates with the land. It's hard to integrate with money.

Of course, countries like Amn which are purely controlled by merchants are very few, and the first thing those merchants do after acquiring the title of nobility is to buy a piece of land, even if they can't make a lot of money...

"No way, my family has encountered some difficulties, continue with a gift with enough weight, otherwise..." The man sighed with a wry smile. "Otherwise, there is a risk of annihilation, so this crown is bound to be won."

Henry nodded suddenly: "So, the manor of 540 square kilometers is not small. I think your family must be quite prominent in Cormyr. Can you tell me its name?"

The man took a deep breath, stroked his chest with one hand and replied very solemnly: "Comerell, my family has now been deprived of the title of nobility because of being involved in the "Vicious Demon Cow Incident" that happened not long ago. Your Majesty also intends to take back the land, so I must do something before the situation deteriorates to the point of irreversibility."

"Comerel, one of the eight nobles of Cormyr, it's no wonder that he can have such a huge manor." Henry narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

He suddenly remembered a piece of information that he had seen a few months ago. It was a political event that caused violent turmoil in the Kingdom of Cormyr. The Bullers family, which is also one of the eight major families, was permanently banished, and the Comerel family was not much better, and now it is just a dying struggle.

Fortunately, the Cormyr royal family does not exclude transnational nobles, so as long as it does not violate the laws set by the royal family, then the current monarch Azeren IV should not take any action.

Thought of this. Henry raised his head and stared into the man’s eyes meaningfully and said: “You are very smart. You know that you are better off waiting for the land to be confiscated than to replace it with other valuable things. I appreciate your courage and decisiveness, so I accepted this manor. It should be okay to price 400,000 gold coins, right?"

"Of course no problem! Thank you very much for lending a helping hand in such a difficult time. The Comeriel family will never forget this kindness." After speaking, the man bowed deeply. Then he turned around and shouted at Cynthia: "I'll give out six hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!"

Quiet!

Everyone in the entire hall was stunned!

They didn’t expect this man in his early thirties to be so crazy. He raised the price from less than two hundred thousand to six hundred and fifty thousand in one breath, and they could tell from those firm eyes that no matter what the price was offered by others , He will follow along without hesitation, even if it becomes a seller again.

But Henry understood. The guy in front of him did this for two reasons. One was to show his favor, and it could also be understood as arranging a back road for the family members. Once formally exiled, the Comeriel family can at least come to the Baldor. Take refuge at the door, while secretly observing the situation of Cormyr, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

And this huge manor is equivalent to a gift. After all, the gold coins obtained by the mortgage came back after just turning their hands. As long as you are not a fool, you can see what it means.

The second is telling the Cormyr royal family in a disguised form that his family is already very angry, so please raise your hand for the next punishment.

Obviously, for a piece of jewelry, the price has overflowed too much. Unless there is another nobleman who wants to sell the land, it will stop there. Even Ali, who has been secretly raising the price, is embarrassed to speak up. , Silently waiting for the transaction to complete.

"Six hundred and fifty thousand for the first time! Six hundred and fifty thousand for the second time! Six hundred and fifty thousand for the third time! Congratulations. This handsome gentleman, the crown is yours."

Cynthia knocked the gavel fiercely, and excitedly announced the sale of the finale. Tonight, she personally contributed to the terrifying transaction amount. When she thinks of the overwhelming gold coins, she feels like she is about to faint.

have to say. When in a harmless state, this girl is still quite cute, especially her natural and silly character, which makes people want to take good care of her.

The man walked to the front desk with a heavy step, and even raised the crown and announced loudly: "Everyone! Maybe you have heard the catastrophe that the Comerell family is suffering! But remember, we will never sink, just The red diamond like this crown ~www.ltnovel.com~ will radiate its dazzling brilliance again sooner or later."

After speaking, he bent down and saluted, then turned and walked towards the gate.

Seeing the man leaving behind, Shikoudi sighed slightly: "Hey...Another famous family has decayed. I don't know who Azeren IV will let him take his place."

"No, as long as this person is still alive, the Comeriel family will not be able to rise in long, maybe for them this ordeal is a good thing. Let's go, the auction is over, I still have a lot of things to solve." Henry gave Ali a wink when he finished speaking, and the latter immediately understood, and quickly avoided the crowd and walked into a lounge.

Shikoudi noticed this movement and understood that her husband had something to deal with in private, so she took Hina and walked towards Cynthia. At this moment, the girl was surrounded by countless noble men, and she looked a little panicked.

An extraordinary banquet ended in this way. A lot of flashy things were replaced with gold coins, and some unexpected things happened in it. For a period of time, Henry never had to worry about lack of money. (To be continued.
