For the owner of the auction, it doesn't matter who created the magic formula on the potion bottle. The important thing is that this thing was blown up under his hands, and it was still under the watchful eyes of everyone. There is no place to deny it.
What's more, he was able to gain a firm foothold in the black market, relying on his good reputation... But paying 50 million secret crystals as a one-time compensation is like bloodletting.
Anyone who does business understands that assets are not equal to liquid funds. The auction house has a big business, but in fact it has a lot of goods under pressure. The problem of compensation is the biggest headache for the big boss of the auction at this time. .
"... did she really say that?"
After listening to the steward's report, the owner of the auction house couldn't help moving his body... In the end, he chose to stand up from the chair, otherwise he would feel very unnatural.
"Yes, boss."
The owner of the auction house shook his head: "Although the item has been sold, it has not been officially delivered. We have not bought the owner's money... The 50 million is equal to our full compensation, which is impossible at this time."
The old steward frowned... He thought to himself that this notoriously stingy boss is just planning to compensate the reserve price of the auction item, right? If that's the case, that witch will definitely blow her hair... The steward's eyes couldn't help becoming weird.
"That's not what I mean!" The auction owner coughed awkwardly at this moment, "I'm talking about bartering... with treasures of the same value as compensation. You go to the warehouse, find a few things and estimate the price. It's about the same." Just take it out and send it to that witch."
The steward opened his mouth... Why did he feel like he dropped an egg and returned a vegetable? How did he come up with such a stingy attention
Valuation
However, there is no accurate estimate for anything that is put up for auction... If a piece of tatters is said to be a smallpox, it may be sold at a high price...
"Boss, this lady witch is also in business, so it's not easy to fool her?" The steward felt that he still needed to remind her.
The owner of this auction said: "You pretend I don't know? I'm not stupid... Do you really want you to pick out the broken ones? You go pick out a few pieces of magic jewelry, and you want better quality, and then we collect them last month. Put the thing that came here too... That thing is a hot commodity anyway, and I'm worrying about what to do with it!"
"Then... that's fine." The old steward thought for a while, finally nodded and said: "I see that the idea is also possible, and the matter has come to an end, it will not help the witch to make trouble... I will go and discuss it with her. "
The owner of the auction was about to approve it, but at this time someone from outside hurried in and sent a note, saying that it was sent by Maria's order.
The owner of the auction quickly took it over and took a look, and then his expression became a little weird.
The old steward in the room and the highly paid consultant couldn't help but wonder, "What did she write on it?"
I saw that the owner of the auction house frowned first, then gradually relaxed it, and said with a smile: "It seems that this witch is not like the rumors, she fights when she disagrees with her... just take a look. "
The owner of the auction spread out the note in front of the two of them, and they leaned over to take a look, and the old steward couldn't help being stunned after reading it, "Hey, it can still be like this..."
It turned out that the solution given by Maria was written on this note: This time the work of [Legendary Witch] was finally proved to be a counterfeit. Illusion, even surpassed the ability of the auction appraiser, that's why everyone was deceived. If it wasn't for the auctioneer's gavel this time, I'm afraid it would really cause heavy losses to both the auction house and the buyer... This is equivalent to Maria giving up directly. Compensation of 50 million secret crystals.
But there are two additional requirements here, first, compensation of 8 million secret crystals, and second, the auction will take 6% of the total profit in each subsequent auction as a deduction until the deduction of the five So far.
"This... Isn't she afraid that we will renege on our debts?" The steward asked curiously.
"You must sign a contract..." The auction owner said with a wry smile: "Besides, even if you don't sign a contract, you may be able to let it go, you can escape, escape to the present world to hide, and she may never find you for the rest of her life. But I can't, I ran away, what about my property? What about my family? What about the business I have worked hard for so many years? You tell me? All right, just do what she said... This Who said that the witch can only be reckless? She is simply a beautiful snake!"
The old steward nodded, and immediately said: "Then do you want to go to the warehouse to order something?"
The owner of this auction thought for a while and said: "Order, come out with more, and send it to the gold owner who bought the potion... The guy who can get 50 million secret crystals at will must be our boss in the future." Husband, hurry up! As for the other item... Well, you can send it to Maria, and treat it as repaying the favor. As for whether that item is treasure or trash in her hands, it depends on her own luck …Damn, this Maria is fine, she is so smart, if I didn’t have a wife, I would have married her! Tsk tsk, this woman actually has a really good figure!”
"hey-hey… "
…
"What is this? This thing is worth eight million secret crystals?" Maria couldn't help but frowned, looking at what the old steward sent like an old dog: a cyan bracelet that seemed to be made of jade.
"Of course not." The old steward still had a dog-like smile on his face, "Miss Maria, the eight million secret crystals you asked for are here... this anonymous secret crystal card, please count."
As the saying goes, ten birds in the forest are worth a bird in the hand... Maria first put away the secret crystal card and said that although the psychological gap is still huge, it is not completely unacceptable because the old housekeeper has already said that the bottle was engraved into the [perishable] ] Attributes.
Maria didn't even say anything, judging from what she had experienced with [Pantasia] master... it was done! It must be done! That [Viola] master!
"Then what about this thing?" Maria looked at the bracelet in front of her again.
The old steward suddenly frothed and said, "This is a treasure that our big boss just received recently. It has a lot of origin! It was found in a relic in the [Inhuman Domain]... from the [Inhuman Domain] If you think about it before, you know it! This bracelet is probably used by the gods of the Greek gods... If you can unlock the secret on this bracelet, its value will probably be even higher than the value of the work of [Legendary Witch]! We The boss really wants to make friends with you, Miss Maria!"
"I believe you!" Maria snorted coldly, "Who doesn't know that your boss is famously stingy... an item from the gods in the Greek mythology era? I'm afraid it wasn't something salvaged from a stinky ditch!"
The old steward still smiled like a spring breeze.
Maria shook her head and waved her hands rather boredly: "Okay, go back and tell your boss that Miss Ben will come to collect the money on time next month... Don't renege on the debt, or you will bear the consequences!"
"sure!"
Seeing the old steward push the door out with a sigh of relief... After closing the door, the third lady of the Zhong family came out from behind the screen with a smile, walked up to Maria, and held out her palm.
"Come on, these one million secret crystals are yours." Miss Witch waved her hand at this time, quite boldly.
Miss San couldn't help but frowned suddenly, "Ten percent?"
Maria shrugged and said, "Next month, I'll give you another one million after collecting the bill... in five installments."
Miss San could only shake her head, she wouldn't chase after this kind of problem and lower her self-worth... She glanced at the bracelet on the table, and picked it up casually.
At this time, Maria quickly said with a sharp voice: "This thing is worth at least four...three million! Three million! You heard it too, this is something from the gods of the Greek pantheon era!"
The third lady sneered, and threw the bracelet back... Miss Witch could only sneer and said, "Send it to you, send it to you... well, give it to that vampire lady, just treat it as a thank-you gift from last time!"
Only then did Zhong Luoyue take the bracelet slowly.
She didn't have much interest in this thing, but suddenly remembered that Elizabeth seemed very interested in the age of Greek mythology, so what she planned to bring to her... It's just that she came out empty-handed tonight, wearing a dress, and there was no place to hide anything on her body. He simply put the bracelet on his wrist.
"This is my messenger number in [Inhuman Realm]." Maria gave a badge at this time, and then wrote a note: "This is the phone number in this world... Make a friend?"
The third lady smiled and took it all over... Before going out, she suddenly looked back at Maria, smiled mysteriously and said, "Being friends with me will not let you suffer... Elizabeth, now it is the entry of the master of the Huiyao Tower. Disciple."
The door was still closed, but Maria couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, thinking about what Zhong Luoyue said last... Master of the Tower of Huiyao, Master of the Tower of Huiyao... Huh
Who is Hui Yao
"f*k!"
"The first tower master of the Magicians Association, the first person in [Inhuman Domain] Hui Yao!!"
Miss Witch, who jumped up suddenly, wanted to lift her skirt to chase after her, and stuffed five million secret crystals directly into Zhong Luoyue, even if it was upside down!
…
"Yue, what are you carrying?"
On the carriage back to the headquarters of the association, the noble son Fantas quickly noticed the strange bracelet on Miss San's wrist, and became curious all of a sudden.
Zhong Luoyue turned her eyes, and said half-truthfully, "This bracelet seems to be a treasure that is going to be auctioned next time... When I was going out to the bathroom, I ran into an acquaintance and gave it to me."
Items from the auction, acquaintances... This made your son Fantas easily think of something. His expression changed imperceptibly, and then he smiled and said: "This bracelet looks simple and elegant, it must be very precious. People have hearts."
The third lady smiled and nodded, "It can be regarded as a testimony of friendship."
Fantas' pupils shrank slightly, and then his smile became even brighter, "Is that so...but I think Yue you are more suitable to wear this magic necklace, which is made of rubies. In addition to making it with rubies, it also has several defensive techniques. For a beauty like you."
Probably prepared early in the morning... Fantas took out a box with both hands.
"so beautiful."
It is indeed beautiful, with such a unique design, even a child like Zhong Luoyue who is used to seeing jewelry can't help but feel a little moved.
"Can I bring it for you?" Fantas said with burning eyes at this time.
"You really think it's a gentleman, Fantas." The third lady's expression remained unchanged, and finally she slowly lifted her long hair behind her, and turned around, but she seemed to block her eyes with a folding fan at the same time. On the chest... Just think of it as some meat, she thought to herself.
Zhong Luoyue has been asking herself, after becoming an [inhuman], what capital does she have
What she has... the only capital of a woman.
Fan Taston smiled smugly. He didn't mind Zhong Luoyue's little defensive move... The key is to shorten the distance. As long as the distance is not littered, the prey will naturally be unable to escape. Don't worry, boil the frog in warm water. He understands the truth.
But just as he picked up the necklace and was about to put it on for Zhong Luoyue, the carriage suddenly shook violently, and then there was a loud noise, and the carriage was blown up into the sky!
…
Fantas could feel the fluctuation of magic power. At the moment when the carriage exploded, he activated the defense of the necklace in time, so he was not injured. However, he was also affected by the impact of the explosion and was directly thrown more than ten meters away... Zhong Luoyue It's not far from him.
"Moon! Are you okay?"
"No... just a little dizzy... who is this?!"
On the blue-black stone road, I saw a guy wearing a black bucket standing in the air... probably relying on the ability of some kind of magic formula or prop, male.
He looked down with cold eyes hidden under the mask, sizing up Fantas and Zhong Luoyue... The next moment, he rushed directly towards Zhong Luoyue without warning.
After all, Zhong Luoyue lived in the army for a period of time, and she was much calmer than ordinary rich daughters. At this time, she was in a panic and not flustered. Facing the attack of the man in black, she instantly aroused the power of an immature vampire. Immediately, his strength rose, and he jumped up, barely avoiding the sneak attack of the man in black.
"Vampire?" The black-robed man seemed a little surprised, and immediately said in a low voice: "Where did the newborn vampire come from... [Pluto] is not something that your thirteen clans can get your hands on."
"What?" Miss San said that she couldn't understand what the other party was saying at all.
But at this time, the bodyguards of Fantas who had heard the news had already arrived, and surrounded the man in black as quickly as possible. Not only these bodyguards, but also the teacher of Fantas , the senior pharmacist of the association was also alarmed.
"I'm Vicki, a senior pharmacist from the Magicians Association! Who are you, that you dare to openly attack people from the Magicians Association?" Fantas' teacher shouted sharply at this time.
The man in black looked around, and after taking a deep look at Zhong Luoyue, he suddenly rushed into the sky, "People from the Magicians Association, go back and tell your Master of the Huiyao Tower...we will not let him go This thief's! God's Domain... We will take it back!"
The man in black disappeared into the night sky, leaving behind everyone with blank faces.
Zhong Luoyue looked at the direction in which the mysterious black-robed man disappeared, and felt that the other party seemed to be coming towards her... the things in her hand. She subconsciously wanted to take off the bracelet on her hand, but at this moment, this strange bracelet, It was impossible to take it off no matter what.
She couldn't help but think of what the mysterious black-robed man said to herself... [Pluto]? Could it be that this bracelet is really a treasure
