Chapter 142 The Bid of the Veteran Noble

The number plate held up is number 4, and the number plate is inlaid with gold, which means that the other party is similar to Gero, and they are all people in the box. Even if his status is not as noble as Gero, it is not much different. He is one of the most powerful old nobles in Cuijin City. Even if the king wants to do something about it, he must think about it.

Several veteran nobles did not participate in the snatch for the exemption certificate last night, but this did not mean that they were not interested in the exemption certificate. On the contrary, they were very interested. However, while watching the situation, only when the situation is right will you take a shot and give a fatal blow.

Insidious, vicious, and sophisticated, they are like poisonous snakes, which is the standard old-fashioned aristocratic style.

Therefore, a quotation of 2,500 gold coins directly extinguished Gero's beautiful fantasy, making Gero stunned, and most of the audience stunned, and in this stun, the whole situation has changed.

A new round of bidding, the real bidding has officially started.

The waves of the sea gushed out, one after another, reaching the highest peak.

"Number 3, 3000 gold coins."

"Number 8, 3500 gold coins."

"Number 6, 4500 gold coins."

...

In several boxes, the price of a few number plates within 10 is quickly increased, ranging from 500 gold coins to at least 1,000 gold coins, which is a big exaggeration. After a while, the test-free certificate was pushed up to an ultra-high price of 7,000 gold coins, which was already 7 times the starting price and 3.5 times the price that Gero asked.

Gero was no longer stunned at this time. After reacting, his face was extremely ugly. After all, the speed and magnitude of the situation changed far beyond his expectations. Originally, he was ambitious and prepared to auction off all three test-free vouchers. Who knew that in a blink of an eye, even one test-free voucher would be difficult to auction. This...

"Crack!" Gero slapped the table in the box ruthlessly, and couldn't help venting his emotions, "Damn, how could they..."

But Gero only said half a sentence, and suddenly he made a "coo dong" and swallowed the rest of the words. Then the corners of his mouth were raised upward, showing an exaggerated smile, his hands were slightly raised, and he made an innocent appearance, like a poor bunny caught by a hunter.

"Gudong, misunderstanding... it's all misunderstanding..." Gero tried hard to prove his innocence.

Pandora, who was woken up, glanced at Gero displeased, turned over, and curled up again on the seat with Gero on his back and started to sleep.

"Huh..." Gero let out a long breath, then looked at Li Cha with some resentment, and asked with his eyes, "Why did you bring her here?"

"She's coming by herself."

"I……"

Gro was so angry that he really wanted to smash the table, but he really didn't dare.

He slammed his fist down on the table, maybe Pandora's fist was about to hit him. It's hard to say if he could smash the table with one punch, but Pandora could definitely kill him with one punch. Well, let’s just beat him to death, after all, we’ve already known him, so we can’t just beat him to death without mercy, right?

Groo thought with great pressure in his heart, feeling a little stiff all over his body. Where is the cute little girl sleeping next to her, she is an ancient beast.

Taking a look at Gero's appearance, Li Cha shook his head and asked Gero softly, "What are you going to do now, the auction price of the test-free voucher has already reached 7,000 gold coins, are you still going to increase the price?"

After listening to Li Cha's words, Gero remembered the business, his expression became slightly solemn, and he thought seriously.

He came to the auction this time, and brought all his savings, nearly 8,000 gold coins, and he could indeed add a price and try it. But...it may not be successful. He succeeded, but he also felt a bit of a loss.

Nearly 8,000 gold coins, just to sell a test-free certificate?

Although, according to rumors, boarding the wizard's ship with an exam-free certificate will have various special treatment, but it is not worth 8,000 gold coins, right?

Groo hesitated for a moment.

He said to Li Cha: "I...let's wait and see, I think the price is a bit inflated and unreasonable. Maybe it was caused by a few old-fashioned nobles deliberately driving up. If this is the case, the second one is exempt from the test. The voucher should be cheap, so I can't be this big guy."

At this time, Groo was still a little confused about the sudden price increase of the veteran nobles in the boxes, and he couldn't help but fantasize: maybe a few veteran nobles lost their heads for a while, and waited until the second test-exempt voucher auction. , the other party calms down, then he can auction off the test-free voucher at a relatively low price.

After listening to Gero's words, Li Cha didn't say much, and guessed Gero's thoughts to some extent. However, in Richard's view, Gero's idea is likely to be wrong. At the price of nearly 8,000 gold coins, it is indeed expensive to buy a test-free certificate. But this time, the situation should be different from the past.

The current Cuijin City is not the previous Cuijin City.

Before the Baishi Tower, no apprentice died in Cuijin City. Before Cuijin City, few families were inexplicably attacked and suffered heavy losses.

The old-fashioned aristocrats spared no expense, apparently being stimulated by recent events, which made them realize that for capable wizards, they were all lambs that were slaughtered at will, and could be easily cleaned up.

In this regard, the old-fashioned nobles would rather pay a relatively high price and find a way to cultivate a wizard of their own family.

Li Cha pondered, and the bidding continued in the auction venue.

In the end, the first test-free voucher was auctioned off by the owner of the No. 6 card at an exaggerated price of 8,500 gold coins.

Then there is the auction of the second test-free voucher.

Originally, according to reason, as the test-free certificate for the main event of the auction, it should not be auctioned in a centralized manner, which can also bring higher income.

Similar methods include: at the beginning of the auction, first auction a novel auction item that is not too expensive, but more attractive, to stimulate the atmosphere; take a short rest before the auction finale to give people anticipation; in the continuous price finale Between the auction items, interspersed some auction items that are not very optimistic to prevent unsold auctions;

But this is the Middle Ages after all, and the implementation of the relatively backward traditional auction system has not yet perfected many tricks.

In fact, for the nobles in the field, this is what they want the most - quickly showing the three exemption certificates is the real business. If the auctions always come up with a bunch of "junk", they have to tear the auctions down.

To put it simply, auctions in the current world are still relatively pure, and most of them will be considered for customers, not completely for profit.

"Da da da……"

The footsteps sounded, and the young waiter walked up to the high platform with the second test-free certificate.

Then the auctioneer spoke up.

Because of the previous introduction, this time the auctioneer was very straightforward: "The second test-free certificate, everything follows the old example of the first test-free certificate, and now the auction starts!"

After the auctioneer finished speaking, Gero glanced at the venue and held up the sign again as the first person.

"No. 1 card, 1050 gold coins."

The auctioneer announced immediately, and then the audience was quiet, everything seemed like a replica of the first test-free certificate.

However, Li Cha in the box knew very well that the quiet this time was only because everyone in the room was only watching to see if the veteran nobles in the other boxes would make a bid.

If the old nobles bid, then there is no point in bidding. After all, few people can afford the high price of thousands of gold coins.

The gold coins are not blown by the strong wind. A middle-class noble's territory, after a year of hard work, the income is only a few thousand silver coins. Converted to gold coins, it is only in the early 100s. Some old-fashioned nobles and well-established families earn less than a thousand gold coins each year, and a few thousand gold coins are already considered to be broken. If it wasn't for Gero's frugal life, it would be difficult for him to have a savings of nearly 8,000 gold coins as a prince after more than ten years.

In a word, gold coins are very expensive, and everyone is very poor. If the old nobles bid their teeth, the rest can only choose to give up.

So will the old-fashioned aristocrats make bids?

In the quiet waiting, a slightly old voice sounded.

"Number 9, 5000 gold coins."

The answer came out: the old nobles bid, and directly pushed the price to a completely different bidding level.

The terrifying bidding begins again.
