Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 802: Fostering the flames and the Sacred Stone Council
The royal capital of Falitis, Bekele.
The prosperity of commerce and culture, the gradual increase of the foreign population, vaguely replaced Santa Cruz as the new central city of the Source Continent.
"Guests, please take a look. Regardless of the shape, color, or size of the flower, this blooming ‘Sunset Glow’ is a rare treasure.
The most precious thing about it is that the tulips that normally only bloom in April, but because they are carefully cultivated in the glass flower house, they are now in full bloom. Perhaps they are also unique among the countries! "
The auctioneer, wearing a white shirt and a red bow tie, tried his best to promote the auction, but he succeeded in attracting the attention of all the buyers on the stage.
There is a pot of beautiful tulips blooming beautifully.
The height is about fifty centimeters, and it has a bowl-shaped flower with a full double petal diameter of 12 centimeters, showing a gradient from white to purple-pink from the outside to the inside, and silver star dust grows naturally on the petals.
As a whole, it looks like a sunset glow with splendid stars, and the recruitment of Tingting is beautiful.
Many female guests present at the auction house were gradually short of breath watching it, and they wished to take this magnificent tulip as their own right away.
Seeing the reaction of the guests, the auctioneer nodded in satisfaction, adding fire to the restless mood of the guests.
"Every connoisseur should know that in the process of tulip cultivation, some naturally cracked bulbs can often be used to cultivate special new varieties, and finally beautiful and unique flowers are born.
But this extraordinary mutation can only be passed on through bulbs, not seeds.
As long as you can get this complete ‘Sunset Star’, it means that you have a unique tulip variety in the world!
I want to come, many people have heard that the price of a rare tulip in the'Lower Republic' just across the sea has been speculated to some extent.
Okay, let’s not say much. The starting price is ten golden lions, and each time you increase the price, the auction will begin! "
"Fifteen!"
"Twenty!"
"..."
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, the guests couldn't wait to start bidding.
In just a dozen confrontations, the price has risen to an astonishing one hundred golden lions, which is equivalent to the price of a high-quality war horse.
But no matter how beautiful the lot is, it's just a tulip with a ten-day flowering period. Is it really worth so much money?
Some customers slowly regained their rationality, and their bids gradually eased.
"Are there still bids? One hundred and ten at a time! One hundred..."
The auctioneer is also very satisfied with the price, thanks to the east wind blowing from the "Lower Republic".
Otherwise, in the past, it would be difficult for a tulip like this to sell 20 golden lions.
With joy, I was about to knock the auction hammer.
Suddenly, there was another clear voice in the room:
"Five hundred!"
The entire auction floor filled with black people was suddenly silent, and needles fell.
"Oh, the goddess is on!"
Hearing that number, many buyers in the venue who thought they were wealthy were suffocated.
Be aware that this price is enough to buy an apartment with a large area in the royal capital Bekele.
Use it for a flower?
Is this the happiness of the rich?
Boom——!
The auction hammer fell heavily.
The scream of the auctioneer has broken:
"Congratulations.. Congratulations to the guests in Box 6! You are the owner of "Sunset Xinghui"!"
After ten minutes, the auction will come to an end.
But none of the guests left, all staring at Box No. 6 eagerly, wanting to see how sacred this wealthy lord is?
Soon, I didn't take the VIP passage in the box.
Under the diligent service of the waiter, a tall and majestic figure in a black military uniform came out first.
Followed by was a tall female companion who was wearing a white dress and stepped on silver high heels.
And that brilliantly brilliant tulip "Sunset Xinghui" has been picked directly and inserted into her temple, like a mortal scene, beautiful and charming.
The girl took the arm of the tall figure and walked out without squinting.
Until they disappeared at the end of the aisle, everyone slowly looked back in a sense of sorrow.
At this time, someone in the crowd whispered:
"They... They seem to be the Grand Duke and Duchess of Galliot!"
In his early years, Ivan rose from a naval soldier who was "all on his own".
The major newspapers have numerous large reports every year, and it has even become a sales guarantee. There should not be too many people in the kingdom who know his appearance.
"The relationship between Your Majesty Saint Ivan and his wife is really good."
"Only such treasures are worthy of the beauty of the Duchess!"
It is said that nowadays the nobles of various countries are extremely fond of tulips, but people never think that they have pursued them to such a degree. It is really a big deal just to smile for the beauty.
But after they feel lost, they feel that it should have been.
Just like the gift of the sword to the hero, it can be favored by the Galliotes, and the "Sunset Glow" is not in vain.
"Well, I have always had maritime trade with the lowlands. If the news of the grand duke's lavish money for the lady is passed, the ‘tulip contract’ over there is going to be sold madly."
"Unfortunately, we are not in the Low Country, so we can't get a piece of the pie."
"..."
But these people with different minds don't know.
The romance of the Duke and Duchess, a sensational celebrity effect, and a god-assist in the tulip business of the Lowland Republic...
The price Ivan paid for it was only 3% of the auction fee.
Because the entrusting auctioneer is also him, the new variety cultivated by the glass flower house is just a new leaf picked off the roadside.
"Be careful."
Ivan tenderly helped his wife to board the luxurious carriage that had already been waiting in front of the auction house.
They could hear the conversation in the auction room clearly, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.
Previously.
Ivan followed Jeros to visit his [Witchcraft Garden], which is the same as the city of Poseidia, with obvious characteristics of ancient civilization.
Except for the [Recycled Doll] that has been freely used by Jeros, there are not many high-end technical materials left here, but only those branded murals and sculptures also contain valuable information.
Ivan easily confirmed that the "Surfer" kind of creature-like weapon is indeed very likely to be related to the Muria civilization!
But when I left, I was very surprised to see a few rare tulips planted in [Witchcraft Garden·Uluk Temple].
As a regional feature in a small area, this flower is not common in other places.
Quickly asked Jeros, and learned of this quietly rising trend of tulips.
After checking out this "insignificant" fringe news, he deliberately sought out the [faceless man] who had mixed into the lowland area.
Ivan paid great attention to it, and immediately took Olivia for an intercontinental trip.
Then there was the scene just now.
"I thought you would make a lot of money by artificially spawning countless tulip bulbs while the price of tulips has been hovering at a high level."
Sitting on the carriage side by side, Olivia plucked the valuable tulip and took it in her hands to play with it at will.
"Hahaha, where is this? It's just a sign now, the good show is yet to come."
"Hey, do you think the price of tulips will be longer? Even if we buy this kind of luxury with a very short shelf life, it is impossible not to blink, no matter how high the price is, someone will really pay for it. ?"
Olivia played with tulips, and Aiwen played with her cute little hands like Mingyu, and explained with a smile:
"You only know one thing and don't know the other. At this point, buying tulip bulbs is no longer a consumption, but an investment.
The value of the tulip itself is no longer important. As long as someone pursues it and someone takes it, its price will continue to rise all the way, and it is not uncommon for it to rise five or six times on the basis of today.
Furthermore, [The Faceless Man] reported that Constance Harlan, the prime minister of the Republic, who has just taken office, has opened up low-interest loans to citizens in order to boost the economy.
You guessed that now that the price of tulips is soaring, those Republicans with large sums of money in their hands will invest their money in industry, or..."
Boom!
Olivia, who quickly understood Ivan’s consciousness, couldn’t help but put her arms around her husband’s neck, leaving a few red hickeys on his cheeks:
"Hey, my dear, you look so handsome when you do bad things!"
But the girl still doesn't believe in the five or six-fold increase in the price that Ivan said. What kind of stupid one must be to believe that a flower is worth so much money!
"Hersey, how about we make a bet? Just guess the final price of the tulip."
"Oh? What are you betting on?"
Ivan lowered his head with a smirk and whispered a few words with the girl, immediately making the princess like a jade blush.
The breeze blew past the window of the carriage, vaguely as if to say something:
"Cat ears...maid outfit...desert-style dancer dress...military uniform...extraordinary handcuff lock..." and so on. The meaning of separation is clear, but when combined, it makes people unable to listen at all. If you understand, well, I don’t understand at all.
......
In the following days, in addition to promoting various domestic construction projects and keeping an eye on the movement across the sea, Aiwen's life is very fulfilling.
After successively conquering "Mother of Water" Melo and "Ms. Crow" Yehel, the spiritual origin and various resources of the entire northern region have almost all fallen into the hands of Aiwen.
With sufficient supplies of resources, the most important purpose of his massive [World Favorite] is no longer to enhance strength.
From the return of God in November last year to the beginning of March of the following year, it took a total of more than three months. Ivan finally completed one of the iconic spells of senior high-level wizards-[Magic Eye].
[Spell-like·Demon Eyes of Insight]
Like Olivia’s [True Sight Demon Eye], it is a non-aggressive demon eye.
Effect: Incorporating the "data-based vision" brought by the soul through ~IndoMTL.com~ so that the eyes are connected to the "root of the world".
Preliminarily able to see the essence through the phenomenon, weakness insight, password interpretation, capture all forms of information (biological pheromone, infrasound, warning color...), discover the context of things, development trends, and so on.
The specific application requires a little experimentation.
For adventurers who focus on exploring the secrets, it can be called an artifact.
The unknown thing he is most interested in now is the control core from the "Surfer". Using the [Insight Demon Eye] to take a look, there may be unexpected gains.
However, I just took the things out.
Suddenly received a call from the "Snake Witch" Sairah:
"Aven, the ‘Holy Stone Council’ of Celebes has issued the highest-level motion for convening.
It is said that Mr. Mennon Watt, the chief crown wizard of the "Alchemy School" who has always been in the simplest form, will also attend, and there are important things to be announced. Are you going to participate? "
