The auction continued, and each item was put on the stage for auction, but there were only a few bidders. Most of the people present were ready to wait for the highlight—the exam-exemption certificate.
During this period, Richard auctioned several more items at prices that could be called conscientious, such as a bronze lamp holder suspected of containing chromium, a silver statue suspected of containing titanium, etc. Grotto asked the reason in confusion, and Richard always explained that he liked it.
Time keeps passing...
After a while, the auctioneer on the stage wiped the sweat from his face, glanced at the waiter below the stage, and then turned to look at the many nobles present.
Taking a deep breath, the auctioneer spoke in a very confident tone: "Everyone, what is going to be auctioned below will be an extremely rare, extremely rare, extremely precious, extremely rare item! For it , I think everyone should know something about it, so I won’t introduce it too much.
I just want to say one thing, that is, as long as you get it, you can have contact with the mysterious wizard, have the possibility of becoming a mysterious wizard, and go to the unknown continent to study. Okay, now we have this rare thing - an exemption certificate for the Wizarding World! "
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, the atmosphere in the venue changed instantly. The previous coldness was gone and it became extremely lively. It was so lively that it almost boiled and gave off the smell of gunpowder.
"Da da da… "
The young waiter carefully walked up to the stage holding the tray and showed the exam-exemption certificate placed in the tray to everyone.
After everyone saw it, they had different expressions.
Some people, seeing it for the first time, couldn't help but marvel.
There are some people who have seen and touched them in advance, and even almost took possession of them. When they see them now, they can't help but feel full of regret. Then I didn't know what I thought of. I turned my head and looked at someone not far away with anger. As a result, I happened to meet the same look from the other person. The eyes of the two sides met in the air, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger.
In the box, Gro's eyes flickered as he looked at the exam-exemption certificate, feeling a little eager.
Richard's face was expressionless, as if the exemption certificate was not as attractive as the "Dream Girl" stone statue at the beginning.
The auctioneer said: "Everyone, I won't go on too much to save everyone from being bored. I announce that the auction of this exemption certificate has officially begun. Its starting price is 1,000 gold coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 50 gold coins. Everyone, please give me a quote!”
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Gro raised his number plate, indicating that he was determined to get the exemption certificate.
"No. 1, 1,050 gold coins!" the auctioneer shouted immediately.
After that, the entire venue was quiet for a long time. It seemed that everyone was surprised that the starting price for the exemption certificate was too high, seemed to be afraid of competing with Hegro, and seemed to be making some kind of decision.
"No. 1, 1,050 gold coins! First time! Does anyone offer a higher price?" the auctioneer asked.
No one answered.
"No. 1, 1,050 gold coins! The second time! Is there anyone who can quote a higher price?"
The auctioneer asked repeatedly, his words unchanged, but his tone was a little weak. If because of Gro's participation, no one else dared to raise the price for the exemption certificate, and Gro was auctioned off for 1,050 gold coins, then it would be a huge loss.
However, what the auctioneer was worried about did not happen in the end. As soon as he finished speaking for the second time, someone raised a placard.
"No. 28, 1,100 gold coins." The auctioneer breathed a sigh of relief.
And with this raising of the placards, it was like a powder keg was detonated, and the number plates were raised one after another.
"No. 42, 1,150 gold coins."
"No. 56, 1,200 gold coins."
"No. 69, 1,250 gold coins."
"No. 99, 1,300 gold coins."
"No. 203..."
“…”
The price of the exam-free certificate continued to rise, during which many nobles glared at each other, mocked and cursed, as if they were venting their emotions.
"The Luolan family, I heard that you killed a direct descendant last night in order to grab this exemption certificate? Haha, it's a pity that your direct descendants didn't get it even after you died. You still have to sit here and bid with us. And the saddest thing is that you They can’t even outbid us.”
"The Philip family! Don't go too far! You still don't know who killed our family members? I heard that Mir died in front of you people! Let me tell you, this matter is not over yet, we Luo The Lan family will take revenge sooner or later. As for today's bidding, no one will know who will win or lose until the end."
"Oh, really. Then let's see how many gold coins you have prepared this time. Have you moved all the money out of the house? I heard that your family likes to hide money. They often bury gold, silver, copper coins and so on. underground, lest others steal it. But once, when I was short of money and wanted to take it out, I found that I had forgotten where it was buried. Hahaha, I hope you haven’t forgotten this time.”
"Philip family, you don't have to be proud. Have we forgotten? Does it have anything to do with you?"
"Well, so... did you really forget it again this time? Haha, come and see, everyone, we may have a fool-like family in Cuijin City, who can even forget about the money he hid, haha."
"Shut up!"
"I won't shut up, what can you do? How can you still fly over and hit me... Oh, damn, you really dare to throw your boot at me! Green, give me your boot, I will smash it back. What? , why do you want your boots instead of my boots? Of course your boots are heavier, idiot! Give them to me quickly!"
…
The situation in the auction house became chaotic little by little, and it has developed from a noisy vegetable market to a duel field. The nobles who were feuding because of last night's robbery were very angry. If they made a noise, they would angrily throw boots, hats, canes, jewelry or anything else they could throw out.
The boots and bracelets really go together, and the hat and cane are the same color.
What's rare is that the nobles who are yelling and fighting can still take care of the auction and keep bidding and raising placards.
So, amid the commotion, the price of the exemption certificate quickly rose to 1,700 gold coins.
It's already quite terrifying.
In this regard, Gro, who was in the box, remained calm. He sat in his seat and watched the show at the venue with great interest while constantly raising his number plates to announce higher prices. Gro's price-raising strategy is clear: if you have money, you will be willful. You can increase the price as you like, but it will definitely not be as high as mine.
So, after a while, the test-exemption voucher was sold at a high price of 2,000 gold coins in the auction venue. This offer came from Gro, which made everyone in the field hesitate.
After all, this is a full 2,000 gold coins, melted into gold nuggets, it can kill a large number of people.
Gro glanced at everyone in the room who was obviously a little stunned, and smiled proudly. In his opinion, he could basically get this first exemption certificate.
The gold coins he brought this time included nearly 8,000 gold coins. According to the current situation, there is no accident that the other two exemption certificates can also be auctioned. When the time comes, he can use one, throw one, and then hug Richard's thigh and send one out.
With Gro thinking this, the auctioneer in the field had already started to go through the process.
"Plate No. 1, the price is 2,000 pieces per time! Does anyone offer a higher price?"
The place was extremely quiet.
"Plate No. 1, priced at 2,000 pieces twice! Has anyone offered a higher price?"
There was silence in the field.
"No. 1, 2,000 pieces, price three..." The auctioneer took a deep breath and was about to announce that Gro's bid was successful, but was suddenly interrupted.
An unfamiliar number plate was raised and the price was announced in a deep voice.
"No. 4, 2,500 gold coins."
"Huh?" Grotto was stunned for a moment, and the whole audience was stunned. Richard raised his eyebrows and tilted his head slightly to look at the place where the sound came from.
