When everyone saw Kong Ming coming out of the quiet room with a completely refreshed look on his face, they knew that Kong Ming must have gained a lot from this retreat, so naturally they all congratulated Kong Ming.
Kong Ming was indeed in a good mood, so a group of people headed towards Jubao Mountain in a mighty manner. Although I arrived later today, the box on the top floor was still reserved for Kong Ming and others. When Kong Ming and others arrived, the auction had been going on for some time, and three or four items had been sold, but all of them were It's not something Kong Ming cares about.
As the auction progresses, whenever something appears that Kong Ming cares about, he will bid. Since the things Kong Ming bid for were not treasures, but materials and other items with very special uses, the competition was not very fierce. With the financial resources of the Kong family, it was not a problem to bid for them.
When the auction went into the afternoon, Kong Ming had already spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins and bought four things for the Kong family. He finally had an explanation to his family. However, the things to be used in the wild forest have not yet appeared.
After a while, Liang Xingyu walked up to the auction seat. He cupped his hands and said, "I will host the next auction item for you. The value of this item is great or not." Whether it's big or not depends on how you view this object. Anyone who knows me well should know that most of the items I introduce like this are treasure maps, but this time the situation is a bit special. Because although the item in this auction is indeed a map, strictly speaking, it cannot be regarded as a treasure map, but a map of a mysterious ruins! This map is from a certain mercenary from Youzhou The group accidentally discovered that a mysterious place in Youzhou was recorded on the map. Unfortunately, the mercenary group had limited strength and was unable to break through the restrictions of that mysterious place and could not actually enter the ruins to explore. However, from Judging from the various traces on the periphery, this ruins is likely to be an elf city left over from the era of elf civilization! As we all know, although the elf civilization in the past was very glorious, the climate in Youzhou was bitter and cold, which was not suitable for the survival of elves, so it has never been I heard that the city ruins of the elven civilization have been discovered in Youzhou! If this map really records the ruins of an elven civilization city, then it is definitely a major discovery in the archaeological world! And what will be left in an elven city? What kind of historical heritage is this? This also makes people yearn for it! Of course, I would like to remind you that the elf civilization is really far away from the present time. No matter how prosperous an elf city was in the past, it is still so prosperous today. It will definitely become dilapidated. Even if such ruins can be found, there is still a possibility that nothing will be found in the end. Therefore, I would say that the value of this map is great or not! As for whether you can find this ruins, and what kind of harvest you can get in the end, you really have to leave it to fate! Therefore, I would like to advise everyone, when bidding on this item, please consider it in advance. This bidding may have something The risk of getting nothing! 'Wanbaohui' auctions with integrity and will never deceive everyone on this!"
Liang Xingyu explained a long paragraph in one breath, and he really aroused the atmosphere in the auction venue. Many people had the idea of trying their luck, because if they could find a city ruins of the elven civilization, even if You can gain nothing in the ruins, but you can gain great fame. However, as Liang Xingyu quoted the starting price for this map, most people gave up the idea of bidding.
The reason is simple, because the starting price of this map whose value cannot be determined at all is as high as 200,000 gold coins!
Spending 200,000 gold coins to gamble on luck may even end up with nothing. Very few people have the courage. Many people are already cursing in their hearts: Did a certain mercenary group that put up this map for auction fall into the eyes of money? They actually offered such a high starting price!
However, the folk customs in Youzhou are fierce and the number of mercenary groups is huge. It is impossible to guess what mercenary group this certain mercenary group refers to. Even if everyone wanted to curse, they could not find the specific target.
But for Kong Ming, this map is something he is determined to win!
The Kong family's plan to develop its power in the wild forest is going very smoothly. With Kong Ming's amazing performance in the wild forest in the past, most of the hundreds of tribes in the wild are willing to deal with the Kong family represented by Kong Ming. However, if you want to truly gain a foothold in the wild forest, it is not enough to have the support of hundreds of wild tribes. You must at least establish good relations with those indigenous races. The elves are the representatives of the indigenous races in the wild forest!
The elves are arrogant by nature and are used to following traditions, so they have never liked dealing with humans. It is really difficult to cooperate with them. However, this map related to the ruins of the elven civilization city can be a stepping stone to establish a good relationship with the elves!
Because after the trial in Luofeng Gorge, there was already a rumor circulating in the wild forest, that is, the elves had a sacred object left outside, and the elves had kept it secret, just to find the sacred object in a smart way. Otherwise, how can we explain why the elves, who have never paid attention to Luofeng Gorge, sent even members of the royal family to participate in the trial of Luofeng Gorge this time
The elves found nothing in Luofeng Gorge, and rumors even claimed that because the elves' sacred objects had been lost for a long time, they were probably no longer in the wild forest, but were left in the elven cities outside. However, the elf civilization has been tens of thousands of years ago. Even the glorious cities in the past must have been abandoned by now. In addition, the entire Tianyuan Continent has been dominated by humans, and the elves may still leave the wild forest. Want to visit ruins in the outside world
Outsiders cannot tell whether the rumors are true or false, but the Kong family has received the exact source of the information, that is, the elves are really interested in the ruins of the old elves cities, and have been secretly collecting information on the major elven ruins for a long time. I don’t know. Are you doing something secretly
If the elven civilization really built a city in Youzhou, then this city must have a very special meaning to the elves. If you really get this map, you won't be afraid that the elves won't be interested. As long as we establish a good relationship with the elves with this map, the Kong family's development in the wild forest will naturally reach a higher level!
Therefore, even if it costs hundreds of thousands of gold coins, it is inevitable for the Kong family. After all, this kind of thing that involves a strategic level cannot be measured by mere gold coins.
The starting price of this map is 200,000 gold coins, which is enough to scare off most bidders, but for Kong Ming, it is a big deal!
In short, when Liang Xingyu reported the auction price of 200,000 gold coins, the scene was a little deserted for a while, and no one was willing to bid. The organizer sent Liang Xingyu to preside over this auction because they were afraid that the auction would not be a success, so they relied on Liang Xingyu's experience.
Seeing that the scene was deserted, Liang Xingyu was about to use his sharp tongue to stir up the atmosphere in the scene, but someone made a bid in time, and shouted a high price of three hundred thousand gold coins in one breath!
What makes Kong Ming feel a little strange is that he is not the one who shouted out the price. Moreover, the price was suddenly raised to 300,000 gold coins, which was obviously shocking the whole audience, indicating that the bidder was determined to win such a rare auction item!
Kong Ming was not afraid of anyone participating in the bidding, but when he heard the voice shouting "three hundred thousand gold coins", he immediately judged that the voice came from the person from the "Babel Tower"!
The "Tower of Babel" represents the power of the Miscellaneous Family. Since it is called the Miscellaneous Family, it is natural that it is interested in everything. So it is not surprising that some people are keen on exploring relics.
Kong Ming bid with the representatives of "Babel Tower" and knew that "Babel Tower" was very powerful and it would not be easy to overwhelm them financially. However, "Babel Tower" participated in this "Wanbao Meeting", and they had something they were determined to get, but it did not refer to this map. So why did the representative at this moment show such momentum
Kong Ming had doubts in his heart, so he did not bid immediately. Instead, he turned to Locke and asked: "Locke, who is the representative of the 'Tower of Babel' participating in the auction this time?"
Locke bowed his hands in a salute, but his expression remained blank, and he said very calmly: "The representative of the 'Babel Tower' who came to Liangzhou this time calls himself an ancient layman, and his reputation is not very famous!"
As soon as Locke said this, Eugene next to him slapped his thigh fiercely and said: "It's actually this old guy, the ancient layman? That's really hard to handle, because he will definitely become the biggest competitor in this auction. !”
Kong Ming asked: "You know the origin of this ancient layman? Please tell me clearly!"
Eugene said: "This ancient layman belongs to a very weird branch among the miscellaneous family forces. It can be said that he is a key member of the 'Digging Society'. And this 'Digging Society' is composed of a group of fanatical archeology enthusiasts. It is said that six or seven out of ten ancient ruins on Tianyuan Continent were discovered by members of the 'Digging Society'. It is estimated that the reason why this map dared to set such a high starting price is because the owner of this map knew The ancient layman participated in this auction, so I'm not afraid that he won't take the bait! This ancient layman is an extremely extreme archaeological fanatic. As long as he hears the words 'relic map', he will definitely do it regardless of the cost. Even if he doesn't use 'Tongtian' But you can bid privately for Ta's resources, and you won't hesitate even if you lose everything!"
