Magus Tech Chapter 143: Prince’s face?
"No. 8, 6000 gold coins."
"No. 3, 7000 gold coins."
"No. 7, 8000 gold coins."
In the auction venue, quotations sounded one after another.
After hearing the offer of 8,000 gold coins, Gro in the box lowered his head a little dejectedly. He already understood that he had no chance for the second test-free certificate. If I had known it earlier, I might as well have insisted on the first exam-free certificate. Maybe a few veteran nobles would let him get it because of his status. But now... the price of 8,000 gold coins makes him not even eligible to increase the price.
In the end, after a price increase, the second test-free certificate was obtained by auction at the price of 9,000 gold coins by No. 9, who initially quoted a high price. Gro in the box clenched his teeth, clenched his fist, and wanted to smash the table again.
But just before the fist touched the table, he suddenly became alert and quickly stopped it.
Looking at Pandora with trepidation, he felt that there was a lot of anger in his heart that couldn't break out, and he almost exploded. Turn around abruptly, stretch out your fingers, and start poking, poking, poking at the soft seat...
As he poked, Gero was thinking.
According to the current situation, the bidding for the third test-free certificate may be more intense, so he has to think of a way.
Then...
…
"Da da da..."
The young waiter walked up to the stage with the third test-free voucher. This time, I don't know if it was because he was stunned. The auctioneer's words were simpler, "It's business as usual, the auction begins!"
Grow raised his sign.
The auctioneer said: "Plate No. 1, 1050 gold pieces..."
"No!" Gero interrupted the auctioneer loudly, took a deep breath and stood up from his seat, opened the curtain, and walked to the window so that everyone could see his face.
Ge Luo's eyes were sharp, he held up the number plate, and announced in a deep voice, "I, Prince Gro, number 1, bid 7984 gold coins, 14 silver coins, and 56 copper coins."
There are zeros and rounds.
"Ah..." The audience was silent.
It was really quiet this time, and most people reacted with a twinkle in their eyes.
Grow did this to tell everyone that he, the prince, bet all his money. He wants to get this third test-free certificate.
Whoever fights with him, stand up!
This is the anger of His Royal Highness!
Facing the anger of His Royal Highness, who dares to speak up? Who dares to resist?
So in Gero's voice, the audience fell silent for nearly half a second.
Half a second later.
Beside Gro's box, another box held up a number plate, and said lightly: "No. 3, 8000 gold coins."
8000 gold coins, against 7984 gold coins, 14 silver coins and 56 copper coins!
Crush to death directly!
With no mercy, those who don't give face will be directly crushed to death!
What is the anger of the prince? Is it worth a gold coin?
Ge Luo's face turned pale in an instant, and then the blood surged up and turned blood-red. He clenched his fists tightly to control the runaway, and the blood-red turned into iron blue little by little.
Gro gritted his teeth and looked at the box next to him. He already recognized who the speaker was. In fact, as a prince, he had already guessed about the identity of the person with the number plate 10 in several boxes, and now he just simply confirmed it.
Ge Luo made a sound and said word by word: "Di, En, Hou, Jue!"
With a sound of "stab", the person whose name was called opened the curtain of the box, walked to the window of the box, and revealed his figure. It was a nearly sixty-year-old man with half-white hair and high spirits. He looked at Gero with a smile, as if it was not him but someone else who called the price just now.
The other party greeted politely and said, "Prince Gero, long time no see, hello."
"I, very, good!" Gero still paused every word, staring at the other party, as if he wanted to swallow him alive, "you, also, very, good!"
"Thank you, Prince Gro, for your concern. I have been fine. Please send my regards to His Majesty the King for me, and wish him well. After all, the entire Emerald Kingdom will be stable only if His Majesty the King, His Highness the Prince, and everyone are well. Right, Prince Gro?"
"It's your size!" Gero really wanted to shout, but in the end he snorted coldly, left the box window without saying anything, and sat back in his seat.
The quotations from other boxes kept ringing.
"No. 8, 8500 gold coins."
"No. 5, 9000 gold coins..."
Ge Luo felt that this quotation was a slap in the face.
These veteran nobles are too much, and they don't give him the face of the prince at all.
But what can he do?
What to do?
do?
A moment later, Gero heard the high price of 10,000 gold coins from Marquis Dean of the No. 3 card, and was about to pocket the last test-free certificate. He suddenly stood up, walked to the window again, and held up the number plate Roaring: "No. 1, 20,000 gold coins!"
"Coax!"
The audience is in an uproar!
Gro clasped his hands together.
Today, he must obtain an exemption certificate. This is no longer a question of whether one is qualified to become a wizard, but a question of whether one should save face.
He is a dignified prince, he must earn back this face!
But obviously, someone didn't want him to do that.
The Marquis of Dean in the next box questioned slowly: "Prince Gero, are you sure you brought so many gold coins here?"
"I can mortgage!"
"But the auction does not seem to accept mortgages from entities such as territories, real estate, and shops."
"I pledge my prince's reputation, okay! I guarantee my personality, I can collect 20,000 gold coins in one hour! Is that okay?!"
"Ah, I don't know about this, after all, the auction house is not mine, so I have to ask the auction house." Marquis Dean said nonchalantly.
Ge Luo clenched his fists and made a "crack" sound, looked at the auctioneer with his eyes on fire, and asked aloud, "OK, no, OK?"
"Ah..." the auctioneer spoke more briefly this time, "I don't know..."
The auctioneer really doesn't know. After all, he is just an auctioneer, and he can't do such a big thing.
Gro said from his teeth: "Then let someone who knows tell me!"
Soon, I know someone is coming.
A man in charge hurriedly ran up the wooden platform, bowed to Gero ~IndoMTL.com~ swallowed his saliva and said, "His Royal Highness, our auction house does not allow mortgages. But... ...Considering the special situation of the prince, we can temporarily lend 10,000 gold coins to His Royal Highness, what do you think?"
"Okay." Gero replied, and continued, "I will return the loaned money to you within an hour. And now the 10,000 gold coins you lent and the 7,984 gold coins I have now are all Bet, a total of 17,984 gold coins, I would like to ask, who wants to quote a higher price?!"
"Marquis Dean, do you really want to give me 20,000 gold coins, better than me!" Gro turned to look at Marquis Dean.
Marquis Dean smiled slightly, and bowed his body: "Your Highness, don't be angry. I can't compete for such a high price."
"That's good." Gero only said these three words, but his eyes were still fixed on Marquis Dean-he was not at ease.
It wasn't until half a minute later that the auctioneer announced the result, announcing that Gero had obtained the last test-free certificate, and then Gero looked away.
Walking back to the seat in the box, Gero's whole body softened, and he slumped on the seat, panting, turned his head to look at the guard in the box and said, "You, go to my elder brother immediately, um , Your Majesty. Tell him, no matter what territory he gave me, I will admit it, but now I need to bring me 10,000 gold coins immediately. It is urgent. If he still asks, tell him about this place. In short, Bring the money."
"Ah, yes." The guard didn't dare to say another word, and ran away quickly.
Then Ge Luo turned his head to look at Li Cha, his eyes flickered, and he said with some self-mockery: "Your Excellency Li Cha, am I a bit stupid?"
"Yeah." Li Cha nodded, "A little bit."
Gero: "I..."
