Chapter 53: Divine Relic Auction
The attention from all around was extremely intense, and Fulide knew that the time was almost up, so he dropped the small hammer in his hand.
"Ding!"
"Divine relic - 'Golden Glittering Thorn Divine Armor'! Starting price: 30,000 gold coins! Each bid must not be less than 1,000 gold coins! Bidding begins now!"
"Thirty thousand!!!"
Xia exclaimed, the base price of the elemental fruit was only five thousand gold coins, and her pretty face was full of envy.
"Xia, why did your face turn into a gold coin?"
Listening to Luo Qiu's joke, Leticia couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"A third-rate adventurer."
Shia suddenly became very serious mode.
"What?" Luo Qiu seemed to have accepted this setting unconsciously.
"Can you afford this?" Xia pointed at the golden armor on the stage.
"I can't afford it." Luo Qiu said straightforwardly, but added something in his heart.
This thing originally belonged to me.
"useless."
"That's so verbose."
"You two have such a good relationship."
"Shut up!" The two glared at Leticia at the same time.
……
"Thirty-nine thousand gold coins!"
"Forty-five thousand gold coins!"
“Fifty thousand gold coins!”
At this point, ninety-nine percent of the people had become spectators. In the blink of an eye, the price had been raised to fifty thousand gold coins, close to the transaction price of the elemental fruit.
Those who are still bidding now are truly rich people.
"Fifty-five thousand gold coins!"
Ambro Doron has made an offer. Even he is not immune to the temptation of the divine relic. If he can successfully bid for the divine relic, his strength will increase dramatically. He will not have to be afraid even if he meets an exception, and it will not matter if he undertakes some more dangerous commissioned tasks.
"Fifty-six thousand gold coins."
This is another person who is bidding for the first time so far.
"Lord City Lord?"
Ferro and Drayton looked at Qiao Lin beside them in surprise, as that was the price he had just quoted.
"What? I can't make a bid?" Qiao Lin said with a faint smile.
"Uh, no..."
However, Qiao Lin is a magician, so why would he buy armor for warriors? Neither Ferro nor Drayton asked this question.
"Sixty thousand gold coins."
A fat man spoke, and the moment he quoted the price, the two beauties beside him trembled violently almost at the same time, looking at the fat man who was hugging them in disbelief.
His eyes were so gentle that they almost melted me.
"Sixty-five thousand gold coins."
Before Dak could enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention, his limelight was stolen by another person, causing him to glare at him angrily.
This time the bidder was even more unusual; he was from the Holy See.
The priest dressed in white raised his hand and calmly quoted a jaw-dropping price.
"Sixty thousand...sixty-six thousand...sixty-six thousand gold coins!"
A middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his brow with a white handkerchief in one trembling hand, and with his other hand he raised his hand tremblingly to quote the price he thought was the limit.
……
"Eighty-three thousand gold coins!"
"Eighty-four thousand gold coins."
"Ninety thousand gold coins!"
"Eighty...ninety thousand? Damn!" A big shot who was about to take the next step spat out angrily, looking at the golden armor floating in the air with great reluctance. The price just now was beyond his budget. Those who can still bid now are not ordinary rich people.
The only four people left bidding against each other were Jolin Constance, Ambro Doron, Dark Eroyeken and the priest of the Holy See.
"Ninety-five thousand gold coins."
"Ninety-eight thousand gold coins!"
"Ninety-nine thousand gold coins."
"One hundred thousand gold coins!"
When the price was suddenly raised to 100,000 gold coins, there were bursts of exclamations.
This is a huge sum of money that an ordinary person cannot earn in ten lifetimes. Even if those who participate in the auction have some status, one hundred thousand gold coins is still too far away from them. This is already equivalent to Rose Lowe's annual tax revenue.
"There's no other way." Ambro gave up helplessly. Even if he added the gold coins from the elemental fruit he had just sold, he could only get 100,000 at best. There was nothing he could do to raise it above that.
He also had no intention of borrowing money from his teammates. It was not worth it to spend everyone's gold coins for a divine relic. Each of them needed money in many places, and it would be troublesome if they ran into a funding chain break.
"One hundred and three thousand gold coins!"
"One hundred and four thousand gold coins."
"One hundred and five thousand gold coins."
"One hundred and ten thousand!"
"That guy..." Qiao Lin frowned and looked at Dak.
To be honest, 110,000 gold coins was a considerable pressure for him as the city lord. This was the only amount of cash in the city lord's mansion's account, but Dak directly raised the price to such a level that he had no choice but to give up.
"So he is from that family?" As if he had realized something, Qiao Lin stopped participating in the bidding. He squinted his eyes and leaned back in his chair, wanting to see who would win the game in the end.
Ambro Doron and City Lord Qiao Lin gave up one after another, and in the end only the fat nobleman Dark Ero was left to compete with the priests of the Holy See, and the two had no intention of giving up.
"That fat guy is so rich?"
Xia rolled his big eyes, as if planning something.
"You don't want to rob, do you?" Luo Qiu said casually.
"Eh? How do you know?"
“It’s written all over your face.”
"Is it that obvious?"
"Have."
……
"One hundred and twenty thousand gold coins." The priests of the Holy See always bid in such a leisurely manner.
"Twenty-one thousand!"
Dak's hands loosened the two prostitutes at some point. Even though they were very charming beside him, he surprisingly ignored them. Such a price was far beyond his expectations. According to his original judgment, the final transaction price should be between 80,000 and 90,000 gold coins, which was the price of ordinary divine relics.
The priests of the Holy See also seemed to value this divine relic very much, which meant that this divine relic must have something extraordinary. Dark had no doubt about the vision of the Holy See.
"I must take this picture!" Dak thought to himself as he clenched his fists.
"One hundred and twenty-six thousand gold coins."
The priest of the Holy See did not seem to be quoting a price. His indifferent look seemed as if he was saying a string of numbers that had nothing to do with him. The price he offered was always only a thousand gold coins higher than Dark's.
"This can't go on like this."
If this continues, the price will only go higher and higher, with no end in sight. Dak is ready to burn his boats. He doesn't believe that the people of the Holy See will remain indifferent in the face of such a high price.
Dak exhaled silently and said in a deep voice: "150,000 gold coins!"
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bomb dropped in the auction house, detonating the entire place.
"Oh my god, where does that fat guy come from? Does his family make gold coins?"
"I suspect that the fat guy is here to cause trouble."
“I think there must be something fishy about this…”
"One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins! If you give it to me..."
……
Regardless of how others reacted, the high price offered by Dak moved the priest of the Holy See for the first time!
