With that in mind, Leo Ray looked at the carefree Scarlett, who was sipping orange juice beside him, and fell into deep thought again, “However, since the Lord of Viennas City chose to publicly disclose the matter of the second relic, it must mean that they already have certain precautions.”
“I think so too. Under their command, they have almost ten thousand members of the Viennas City Defense Army, in addition to their Coldflame Royal Family status and the protection of the Coldflame Royal Family.
Even a mysterious organization would have to think twice before making a move on them. After all, from the current situation, there has been no open conflict between the mysterious organization and the Coldflame Royal Family.”
At this moment, Scarlett, her face flushed red, gulped down a large glass of orange juice with a bubbly sound.
Leo Ray shook his head helplessly and continued to ponder, “Also, at this stage, the clues in my grasp are still extremely limited. It’s better to focus on dealing with the aloof Princess Cold Flame. I’m sure I’ll get more clues from her.”
“Having said that, why did the Lord of Viennas City choose to make public the matter of possessing the second relic at this time? Why not wait for the news to die down and then organize their own team to explore it?”
Just as Leo Ray was somewhat puzzled by this idea.
Kelsey, in a red long dress, came over from another table.
She whispered to Leo Ray, “My lord, according to what my father said, this time, whether it’s the hired Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps, other Tier 4 powerhouses, or the carefully arranged traps at night, the Lord of Viennas City spent a considerable amount of Gold Dragons.
This has caused a huge deficit in the account books of the City Lord Mansion. Therefore, the Lord of Viennas City is auctioning off this Qi Condensing Pill and the right to explore the relics to get through this financial crisis.”
“Understood.”
Nodding slightly, Leo Ray contemplated for a moment and suddenly looked enlightened.
Goodness, since he was not short of money, he had overlooked this key point.
With a slight smirk, Leo Ray continued to ponder, “In any case, what can be confirmed at present is that due to the deaths of the two elders, the Lord of Viennas City’s side has already formed a deep hatred with the mysterious organization.
As the saying goes, ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend.’ Therefore, I must obtain the qualification to explore this relic.”
On the other side, Baron Poli on the stage bowed gracefully and said, “Alright, esteemed guests, the specific date of this relic exploration trip will be determined by the Lord of Viennas City and the winner of the Qi Condensing Pill.
So, let’s begin our thrilling bidding session.”
At this point, seeing the eager looks of the nobles and businessmen below, Baron Poli smiled faintly and said, “This Qi Condensing Pill, along with the opportunity to explore the relics with Lord Viennas City, is starting with a reserve price of 500,000 Gold Dragons, with a minimum bid increment of 20,000 Gold Dragons. Please begin your bidding.”
“500,000 Gold Dragon coins…”
As soon as Baron Poli said this, most of the nobles and merchants in the audience sighed and shook their heads, expressing their regret.
Most of the people present carried around 500,000 Gold Dragons with them, and they had already consumed a part of it.
Thus, they obviously did not meet even the most basic threshold, including the plump aristocrat who had previously “defeated” Leo Ray several times and obtained many of his items with delight.
Though his funds were depleted and he could no longer participate in the final auction, he looked at Leo Ray, who also hadn’t made a move in the front row, and grinned.
The plump aristocrat couldn’t help but laugh, grabbing the champagne glass on the table and draining it, looking quite pleased.
In any case, it seemed that the young man was out of money. After sticking his neck out so many times before, he must be regretting it now, right?
Hehe, this annoying man, who kept competing with himself from the beginning, finally got a taste of his own medicine!
Meanwhile, as the sound of the silver bell rang around him, Leo Ray, with a significant amount of money in hand, naturally wasn’t in a hurry to join the bidding crowd.
Currently, he still had nearly 1.9 million Gold Dragons, and Kelsey could call on an additional 3 million at any time. From the perspective of two consecutive auctions, it undoubtedly seemed more than sufficient.
While leisurely pondering this, Leo Ray began to survey the surroundings.
At this moment, those who pressed the bell the most enthusiastically were the high-ranking nobles led by the Grand Elder of the Blackwood Clan.
However, much to Leo Ray’s surprise, the two Knight Commanders who had each previously won a magic medicine, Tina and Layne, were also constantly ringing the silver bell with eager eyes.
Watching their fierce competition, Leo Ray furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before understanding.
As Leo Ray secretly contemplated this,
On the other side, the Grand Elder of the Blackwood Clan was passionately pressing the bell, with an air of triumph.
At present, the two young, inexperienced commanders were running out of funds.
As a result, he, who had the most robust financial resources in the field, naturally had the upper hand.
After a while, as the people around who pressed the bell became fewer and fewer..
