In the current situation, should it be said that it is in full swing? Or calm?
Lorraine felt a little uncertain.
On the one hand, today is the first day of six auctions in two days. Now the link is the first half of all 16 auctions. In terms of location, it can only be regarded as the heat field in the heat field.
However, the auction of asylum villa is a top black market auction after all, and most of the participants are wallets behind political forces.
Compared with the handed down families and pure plutocrats, these people have a weaker concept of money. In other words, they may be the group most willing to spend meaningless spare money in the world.
The auction went very smoothly. Six pieces of auction came on stage one after another, with history, art, or the blessing of celebrities and famous scenery. The price ratio between the transaction and the starting auction was not low.
Although Lorraine could not refer to the authoritative bargaining because of the confidentiality of the directory, he lit the light three times with interest, so he could feel the premium transaction.
The premium transaction means that there is a lack of professional collectors among the bidders, and it also means that Lorraine's opponents are not bad for money. Both the family wealth and the cash they bring seem to be abundant.
This is not good news for the furious auction.
Lorraine secretly raised the psychological price of the set of plans from 100000 pounds to 140000 pounds.
The seventh auction finally came on stage. It was Lorraine's only predetermined goal in the battle, the Viking round shield and the sloDe shield.
I saw the attendants push up a turquoise round shield from the stage. The shield surface has completely stripped off the leather surface, leaving only bare metal shield parts. The edges are carved with lifelike floating carvings, full of leather nails and properly maintained.
The master of ceremonies quoted yuan Dun as saying: "in the 14th century Viking epic the proud dinas saga, a story is described. The prince dinas of Egypt was driven out of the kingdom by his jealous brother and met the princess philotamia of branla during his escape."
"Philotemia fell in love with Prince dinas. He not only persuaded the king of branla to support the prince's revenge, but also followed the prince's faith and became a Viking of branla."
"The two sides supported each other on the road of revenge and never gave up until dinas fell into a trap in a battle. At the time of crisis, filotemira's Prayer moved Asgard. Valkyrislud gave her her her divine power and shield, so that filotemira could become a shield woman and fight side by side with her lover."
"This shield is the shield of slod depicted in Sakya, the blessing of the female warrior God, and the heritage of Princess flora temira of branla."
"Its sender is a secluded Viking fishing village in Greenland. The villagers claim to be the descendants of dinas and philotemira. This shield has been consecrated continuously for hundreds of years. It didn't flow into the civilized market for the first time until it was persuaded by our salesman."
"We gathered experts from various fields to conduct a comprehensive assessment. First, branla means [black] in Viking, and coupled with the existence of Egyptian Prince dinas, it is generally believed that philotemira may be the daughter of a priest or chief of a powerful tribe in Central Africa."
"However, in the 14th century referred to by Sakya, Viking culture has disappeared from the mainstream culture. There is no clearly recorded Viking war in Egyptian history, and Viking culture can not find the support of historical materials radiating North Africa."
"On the other hand, Mr. smog, a Norwegian expert, believes that Sakya and IDA in Viking mostly refer to black land. Another layer of branla in Viking means black land. Egypt also means the end of heaven and earth and the country of fire in Viking records."
"From this perspective, the arrogant dinas saga probably refers to the war story between Greenland and two Viking villages in Iceland. Greenland is Egypt and Iceland is branla."
"On the other hand, the process of sloDe shield adheres to the forging characteristics of Viking's strong period, adopts unique temperature difference quenching, and the material is secret silver, that is, Uzi steel melted with alchemical formula. This formula has been lost in the 12th century. Although it does not rule out the possibility of small-scale inheritance, it is very difficult to copy."
"Based on the above, the history of sloDe shield can be used as a reference, and it has high handicraft value due to its artistic value and special materials. It is well maintained and has been renewed for a long time. The starting price of shield is 1200 pounds, with an increase of 300 pounds per round. Please show the lights and make an offer."
No special instructions from Lorraine were needed. In the face of the shield of sloDe, which had already become the target, edley directly lit the yellow light.
At the beginning of the auction, there were 9 bidders in the first round, 8 in the second round, 6 in the third round, 5 in the sixth round and 3 in the eighth round. In the tenth round, only Lorin's No. 12 and another No. 18 were left to win.
"3900 pounds! Sloder's shield 3900 pounds, boxes 12 and 18 3900 pounds! Eleventh round..."
"4200 pounds on the 12th! 4200 pounds on the 12th, the choice of guest 18 is... Free quotation!"
The first free quotation so far appeared abruptly. On the 18th, two lights were lit at the same time. In the direction of the box that Lorraine could not see or hear, the master of ceremonies announced that the auction was suspended.
Lorraine's eyes flashed.
"How dare you quote freely for a Viking weapon? Are you really determined to get it? Is it because of Viking? Or alchemy?"
He frowned in thought.
Time passed quickly in meditation. Before Lorraine could understand, the master of ceremonies had got a note from the waiter.
"The price of box 18 is increased by 1000 pounds! SloDe's shield is 5200 pounds. Is there any higher bid?" the master of ceremonies' voice was excited and high. "The 12th round, now the price is 5200 pounds! The 12th! Do you want to continue on the 12th? Now start the 13th round of bidding..."
"Captain, what shall we do?" edley looked at Lorraine in embarrassment.
Lorraine gently waved his hand: "continue before I stop."
"Yes!"
The price of shield has risen to 5500 pounds, which is no less than a year's tax in a medium-sized town. After Lorraine's quotation, the reaction of box 18 is... The second free quotation, 6500 pounds!
The rise of the shield from 1200 pounds to 6500 pounds has long exceeded the normal rational auction range. The determination of box 18 greatly increased Lorraine's interest. He couldn't help but stand up and let edley remove the baffle.
"Free quotation!!!!!" exclaimed the master of ceremonies, "the first climax is coming! After the distinguished guest made two free quotations in a row on the 18th, he applied for free quotation on the 12th!!!"
"Shield of sloDe! The alchemy shield in Viking Sakya, the legacy of Princess philotemira! What's different about it? How much is your guest on the 12th going to increase the price!"
Lorraine sat in front of the tea table with a feather pen in his hand. There was no ink on the note.
He thought about it for a while, brushed some pens on the paper, dried the ink, handed it to Carmen, smiled and asked, "you have participated in many auctions. Please help me."
Carmen smiled and took a glance: "Captain, you are very concerned about the unknown opponent."
"Just curious," Lorraine nodded.
Carmen narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment: "it's good. Although it's a little foolhardy, your goal is not that shield."
The reckless man's face tightened when he heard the speech: "Captain, we don't want the shield?"
"The shield must be ours." Lorraine put away his pen and ink and asked edre to pass the note to the waiting waiter, "but our purpose has changed. The shield of sloDe, no matter how good, has now become an accessory. Sorry, lev..."
