Chapter 14 Auction
In the study of Bernard, the patriarch of the Debs family.
"What? Failed?" Bernard looked at the woman in red robe in front of him, "Failed, can't you continue? When did your Blood Plum Blossom Organization give up so easily?"
Bernard was very dissatisfied.
He asked the Sabre Organization but was rejected. When he asked the "Blood Plum Blossom" organization for help, the Blood Plum Blossom organization just agreed to destroy the stone sculpture "Wake Up". As for killing Lin Lei, the Blood Plum Blossom organization is too expensive, and it is actually the same price as killing a archbishop in the clothes. The Debs family can't stand it.
According to the Blood Plum Blossom Organization, killing Lin Lei will also offend the Holy See of Light and the Dawson Chamber of Commerce.
There is another one...
Lin Lei is now a stone carving master. The stone carving master has a very high status, and many people with status admire these masters very much. Killing Lin Lei means killing a stone carving master. In this way, some people will hate the Blood Plum Blossom Organization.
Therefore, the price of killing Lin Lei is equal to the price of killing a Cardinal.
"We will not accept this task, and we will also return the salary you give us." The woman in red robe said with a cold face.
"Can you tell me the reason?" Bernard couldn't figure it out.
It shouldn't be difficult to destroy a stone sculpture. How can you give up because of one failure?
"Tell you the reason, then the salary you gave will not be returned. Are you willing?" the woman in red robe said calmly.
Killer organizations are also considered intelligence organizations. They also sell intelligence.
"Yes." As the patriarch of the Debs family, Bernard is still very generous.
The woman in red robe said softly: "I can tell you that among the people who liked the stone sculpture "Awakens" there is a person our organization is very reluctant to offend. This character is not something that your Debs family can offend."
"Okay, the information is over." The woman in red robe smiled slightly and then left directly.
Bernard was so angry.
This woman in red robe didn't even say that she was the person who didn't want to offend her, but Bernard also understood that a person who could make "Blood Plum Blossom" so afraid of her must be an amazing person. The information about him must be outrageous.
On April 21, 9999, the Magnolia Calendar was in the special auction hall for the Prox Hall.
The auction hall has three floors in total. The first floor is ordinary seating, and the second floor is independent private rooms. Each private room is a few nobles, and only the rich are qualified to enter. The price is also very expensive. As for the third floor, there is only a very large living room, and the interior decoration is also very luxurious.
At this moment, there are more and more people on the first floor of the auction hall. For these hundreds of seats, each seat is as high as 100 gold coins. As for the more than a dozen private rooms on the second floor, depending on the location, it ranges from 1,000 gold coins to 10,000 gold coins.
As for the third floor, it is not open to the public at all.
The stone sculpture "Dream Awakening" is very well-known. Many of the people who entered the auction hall this time are super rich people on the Magnolia Continent, and many of them are great nobles. It is precisely because there are too few seats, too many nobles, and too many rich people. Therefore, the seats that were originally worth only 100 gold coins were resold outside but the price was outrageously high.
Because the Debs family is a local family and has internal relationships with the Prox Hall, they were lucky enough to get the worst-placed private room on the second floor.
In fact, in the dozen or so boxes on the second floor, except for the Debs family, the families in the other boxes are all famous families on the Magnolia Continent. The strength of the Debs family is much stronger. For example... some people from the "Dawson Family" of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce are only in the private rooms on the second floor. Of course, those who represent the Dawson family are not direct people.
"Alice, go inside."
This time, there were six people in the Debs family, and Alice walked between Kalan and Kalan's mother. Alice also wore a hat with a low brim. The six people quickly climbed the stairs and entered the second floor.
In the second floor private rooms, there are almost all super families from the Magnolia Continent.
When Bernard, the Debs family saw some people on the second corridor, he immediately greeted him very modestly. Here, the patriarch of the Debs family could not count anything. It was as if Yale had commented on the Debs family - "a small family."
Yes, for those super families roaming the Magnolia Continent, if their influence is limited to a kingdom, they can only be considered a small family on the Magnolia Continent.
All six people from the Debs family entered the private room.
"One day, my Debs family will be the same as them, even stronger than them." Kalan said in his heart.
The Debs family came here this time and was determined to win.
No matter what, it is better to get this stone sculpture to your own home than to fall outside. After all, the Debs family will hold an engagement ceremony in June, and many people will know that Alice is a member of the Debs family. But "ambition is determined to win" is just "ambition is determined", and economic strength is also very important.
"Brother Kalan." Alice sat next to Kalan.
In such a place where great nobles gather, Alice also felt a little restrained. After all, even the Debus family is nothing here, let alone the small nobles of the Alice family.
"Don't worry, the people below you can't see you in the private room. That Lin Lei was too much, and he actually brought you..." Kalan was very angry when he thought of the "Awakening of Dreams", because those who have some research on the stone sculpture could guess the relationship between Lin Lei and Alice.
After all, if you don’t have real feelings, how could you carve this kind of ‘godly product’?
If Kalan really married Alice, I believe many people would secretly talk about Alice and Lin Lei. Kalan is a person with status, and it would be very embarrassing to be said like this.
The third floor of the auction hall.
There are only four people inside at this moment, including Maia and Ostoni, the directors of the Prox Hall, as well as Linley and Yale.
"Haha, Director Maia, who is Lin Lei?" A generous laughter rang out.
Director Maia greeted him with a cane, and Linley and Yale immediately met him: "Greetings to your Majesty."
The visitor was the king of the Kingdom of Finlay, Clyde, the proud "Golden Lion" of the Kingdom of Finlay. As the king of a country, he was also a great ninth-level warrior. This is indeed worthy of admiration for others.
Linley looked at Clyde carefully.
His Majesty the King is very strong. His long golden hair floats freely like a lion with endless explosive power. He is full of a trembling domineering aura. While looking around, the momentum naturally emanates.
Clyde looked at Linley: "If I had a good career, this would be Master Linley."
"Your Majesty, just call me Lin Lei." Lin Lei said immediately.
In fact, Lin Lei was quite helpless. Since the stone sculpture "Awakening from Dream" was exhibited, many people saw Lin Lei very humble in their name "Master Lin Lei". This title is not hypocritical. Even the Marquis of Jeb, who was reluctant to sell the sword and "slaughter" in the Lucas family, now admires Lin Lei very much.
"That's fine." Clyde was very straightforward, "This is Yale, Yale, your father is okay?"
"Father is very good, but he is not in the Holy Alliance now, otherwise his father will definitely come this time." Yale said modestly.
Clyde nodded slightly.
"Director Maia, who else is there today?" Clyde shouted casually.
Director Maia smiled and said, "Let's wait a little longer, the two Cardinal Archbishops Gilmer and Lampson of the Holy See will come this time."
On the third floor of the auction hall, it is usually a person who is highly valued by the Prox Hall.
The third floor window is a special layer of glass. The inside cannot be seen from the outside, but the inside can be easily seen from the inside. This glass product is specially made by an alchemist and is extremely expensive. It is not affordable to assemble in ordinary places.
"The two adults, Gilmer and Lampson, are here." The location where Director Maia was sitting, just in time to see the corridor outside.
Linley, Yale and King Clyde of the Kingdom of Finlay all welcomed them very enthusiastically and welcomed the two archbishops in the cardinal. Linley, who came from the Holy See, had seen them last time, and the archbishop Lampson was fat, and his eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled, and he looked extremely cute.
"Linley, right?" Lampson hugged Linley very enthusiastically.
"Mr. Lampson," Linley said politely.
Then in the third floor, the seven people sat down casually and looked at the auction scene below through the floor-to-ceiling window.
Even through the windows, I could see the situation in each private room on the second floor.
"Last brother, look." Yale touched Lin Lei's arm lightly and winked downwards.
Lin Lei followed Yale's gaze and suddenly found that in the second floor private room, Kalan, Alice and others were in the box. At this moment, Kalan and Alice were walking hand in hand on the sofa, talking to each other.
"I didn't expect she would come today, too." Yale whispered to Linley.
Lin Lei just smiled indifferently.
"Linley, what are you talking about?" The fat Cardinal Archbishop Lampson said with a smile to Linley.
"Nothing." Lin Lei shook his head and said.
Gilmer patted Clyde on the shoulder and said, "Clyde, the Kingdom of Finlay you manage is really good. It has produced a genius like Lin Lei. I really didn't know in advance that Lin Lei, a super magical genius, has such a high achievement in the field of stone sculpture."
Linley, Yale and others chatted with Clyde, Gilmer, Lampson, Curator Maia and others. These people looked down at the bottom on the third floor.
On the first floor of the auction hall, everyone was already full.
The stone sculptures of "Awakening Dream" were already placed on the stage, which were covered with cloth. On this stage, there were two beautiful maids standing on both sides. A middle-aged man in a gentleman walked up with a smile and looked around and said loudly: "Gentlemen, ladies, welcome to participate in the auction of Master Lin Lei's work "Stone sculptures".
The middle-aged man was also very casual and talked freely: "The guests who came here today are all famous. Our guild hall was also very fortunate to invite Archbishop Gilmer from the Holy See today." The middle-aged man bowed slightly to the third floor above.
Suddenly everyone below stood up, and warm applause rang out in the entire hall.
"And there is also Archbishop Lampson in Cardinal." Another warm applause.
"Our Majesty of the Kingdom of Finlay, we are here today."
"At the same time, the great magic genius, stone sculpture genius, and Master Lin Lei have also arrived."
Every time the middle-aged man who presided over the auction reported a name, there was a warm applause below. For these nobles, the Archbishop of the Cardinal, the emperor of a kingdom, and the super genius who is probably rare in the history of the Magnolia Continent, are all figures worthy of attention.
"Master Lin Lei?"
In the private room, Alice looked through the window glass and looked at the direction of the third floor, but unfortunately she saw only the dark glass.
And the third floor.
Chapter completed!
