Chapter 317: Chapter 304: The Last Finale Item (5K) _3
Translator: 549690339
Elder Blackwood’s gloomy gaze fell once again on Tina and Layne, who were still persistently competing.
“Where did these two little brats come from? Minor Tier 3 Peak Level Knights thinking they have the qualifications to compete with me?”
At this thought, Elder Blackwood of the Blackwood Clan sneered and continued to furiously ring the bell.
Just like that, a moment later, when the price reached 700,000 Gold Dragons.
Tina, with her coldly beautiful face, was the first to admit defeat. Biting her red lips, she looked unwilling but helpless.
Those 700,000 Gold Dragons weren’t just the entire savings of the Blue Rose Knights.
Furthermore, a large portion of it was scraped together by their struggling knights.
Due to the recent tense border conflicts and the defeat of Coldflame.
The nobles residing in the territory were on edge every day, all trying to strengthen the defenses within their own territories.
As a result, they haven’t provided any funding to the knights for quite some time.
And the competition for the right to explore the ruins this time might be their last chance to turn their fortunes around.
If they continue like this, it won’t be long before the entire Blue Rose Knights cease to exist.
Then, as the price approached 800,000, Layne, not far away, sighed and reluctantly gave up the race.
Although they appeared to have abundant wealth on the surface, the actual situation of the Broken Blade Knights was not much different from that of the Blue Rose Knights.
Not only had the nobles withdrawn their investments, but they had also demanded that they submit their equipment and food supplies to the Defense Army in the city as a priority.
When the indignant Layne tried to reason with the other party,
Their response was self-righteous: “The royal family is demanding so much from us every day; we can’t even take care of ourselves. How can we care about you?”
At this thought, although they didnt like each other, Tina and Layne sighed in unison at this moment.
“Tsk, those two brats finally gave up.”
On the other side, a trace of pride appeared on Elder Blackwood’s old face, he thought to himself, “Lately, due to the unclear situation on the border,
Many nobles who had funded these mediocre organizations had chosen to withdraw their investments for self-preservation. To think these people would still dare to compete with me, they’re truly overestimating themselves!”
Glaring at the two fiercely, Elder Blackwood mocked in his heart: “Thinking there’s still a chance to turn things around? Stop dreaming! I don’t care about the lives of you guys… It’s just a pity that I’ve wasted so many Gold Dragons.”
At the same time, Elder Blackwood was thoughtfully considering the situation, the Auction House was left with only him.
“Honorable guests, the current price is 800,000 Gold Dragons. Is there anyone else interested in this item?”
On the other side, Baron Poli on the stage smiled elegantly and asked again.
Hearing this, both Tina and Layne shook their heads helplessly.
While Elder Blackwood had an extremely smug expression on his face and impatiently urged, “Hurry up and announce it, I still need to discuss the details with Lord Asher.”
After finishing speaking, Elder Blackwood deliberately glanced at Leo Ray and Mason Banks, his face full of disdain.
Meanwhile, the fat aristocrat looked at Leo Ray’s indifferent figure and sneered, “Hehe, this guy really knows how to lose watermelon while picking sesame seeds.
Opportunities like this aren’t always available. If he hadn’t competed with me for the item I wanted earlier, maybe he’d still have a chance. But now, he can only blame himself for his misfortune, tsk tsk.”
Just when everyone on the scene believed that the second auction was about to end,
A faint voice abruptly entered the ears of all the nobles and wealthy merchants present: “900,000.”
Undoubtedly, the speaker was Leo Ray.
Upon hearing Leo Ray’s voice, the entire auction house fell silent.
Almost everyone wore an expression of disbelief.
Many people still vividly remembered the young man’s previous extravagant actions.
At first, everyone thought that after so many rounds of competition, Leo Ray’s pockets would already be empty.
However, to everyone’s surprise, he could still come up with so much money!
Nevertheless, the most astonished were the smug fat noble and Elder Blackwood, who had thought victory was already in his grasp.
At this moment, the fat noble’s mouth was wide open, his chubby face filled with shock.
Due to his petrified state, he was oblivious to the champagne spilling from his tilted glass onto his luxurious robe.
As for Elder Blackwood in the front row, he had a face full of smiles and had already begun to accept the congratulations of other nobles around him.
His smile froze, and the scene became awkward for a moment.
“He’s seen the Giant Dragon and this kid still has money?!”
After a long pause, Elder Blackwood finally came to his senses, his wrinkled old face filled with disbelief.
Immediately after, he gritted his teeth and pressed the silver bell once more.
“1,000,000.” On the other side, without the slightest hesitation, Leo Ray spoke calmly again.
This gentle voice once more stirred up a strong wave in the auction house.
The strength of this young man had completely exceeded everyone’s expectations.
At this moment, the nobles and wealthy merchants who were usually high and mighty all swallowed and couldn’t help but cast admiring glances at Leo Ray. Such financial resources were obviously no longer something that these
mid-to-high tier nobles of Coldflame could match.
Thinking of this, everyone unanimously believed that
The composed young man not far away must be from one of the top aristocratic families in the Royal Capital!
Otherwise, no one else would have such formidable power!
At this moment, even the previously arrogant Elder Blackwood, who finally came back to his senses, had lost his temper.
A character like this was not someone he could afford to provoke, so what was the point of continuing to ring the bell? Besides, he was truly out of money in his pocket…
“May I ask if you can announce the result now?”
On the other side, seeing Leo Ray smile faintly, he spoke to Baron Poli on the stage, who was also somewhat stunned..
