Chapter 291 [The Virgin]

After all that, Dewey was a cold sweat and Zach was pale.

It took a long day for Dewey to sigh: "Well, this has happened, and we can only go on as His Royal Highness intended. ”

His mouth was helpless, but he couldn't help but think: this is weird and weird, why must Prince Chen ask me to do it? He pushed me to the corner of the wall so that I could be the head bird and film the Pope's promise. This is a way to deal with the temple provocation, but in terms of the candidate, His Royal Highness sees me too well. Why don't you let Count Vilia or those Camisillo guys do the headbird thing? You chose me to stand on the tip of this wind...

It's just these thoughts, but it's not easy to say them to little Zach. Dewey set his mind and then sent little Zach out to arrange today's important auction.

Auctions of this kind are not necessarily available on the Roland continent, for example, in the slave market, which is the prototype of the auction. It's just that Dewey taught Zach to systematize and scale the auction house business exactly the way he knew it in previous life.

Before noon, seventeen or eight luxury carriages had been parked in the open spaces outside. A number of luxury gate dignitaries had arrived first. Even those luxury gate attendants outside the door had nearly 100 people.

This auction house at Tulip House is doing a great job. In the shop where Dewey originated, a two-story building had already been opened separately, a hall in the middle, surrounded by a lap of elegant seating, and a lap of VIP lounges on the upper second floor.

Monthly auction houses have become an important activity in the imperial circle. But whoever can participate in the Tulip fragrance auction house is not rich or expensive in Tidu, and can buy a ticket to participate in the auction has been regarded as a symbol of being in the upper echelons of the Emperor's society.

Upstairs, the seven or eight VIP rooms were booked for a long time, leaving only one or two as temporary rentals.

Upstairs, in the VIP lounge, you will find the most comfortable soft collapse and complimentary wine, with a different natural atmosphere. More importantly, there are several advantages: Anyone who possesses this VIP status has become a symbol of the identity of a leading figure in the imperial circle of power. It can be said that you can have a long-standing VIP room at the auction house of the Tulip fragrance family, apart from the most popular political figure or the recognized powerful family of the Haomen… the average outburst household, even if you have money, can't buy it.

And Junior Zach was very good at drilling, and when the dozen VIP rooms were auctioned, just under the benefit of Dewey, he got an auction. The ownership of the dozen VIP rooms had already made the Tulip family a fortune.

In addition, after obtaining VIP status, each month there is information about various auctions provided free of charge by auction houses, history, and even the production of a beautiful album that informs VIP guests in advance of the rare and precious new arrivals each month… a series of practices that fully utilize the best brands known to Dewey in his previous life to treat VIP members.

This not only improves the halo of these VIP identities, but also naturally deepens the auction houses of the Tulip family. Later, almost every issue of the auction was filled and a vote was hard to ask for.

Obviously, today's “auction” has been carried around in the Emperor. So today's auction naturally attracts more people.

Little Zach had already stepped out to get ready, and then had Dewey come to the auction house, where a big auction site had dozens of people sitting.

Dewey took a quick look, almost all of the first-class aristocratic families in the emperor with a few identities deserved it. According to the rules here, the tickets to the auction house can only be entered by one person, so the servants of these noble lords stayed outside. In a large hall, when Dewey walked in, he attracted a lot of attention. Most people here recognized Dewey, and even if they hadn't met Dewey, they would have guessed his identity.

A few still have to come close, but seeing the ruthless look on the face of the Duchess of Tulips and a slight frown, you can see that the Duchess is mostly in a bad mood, so you won't dare to touch the mold.

Today's auction, in addition to the tenets of the Pope's commitment, which is now rife with wind and rain, originally consisted of rare goods, in particular several pieces of precious jewellery made by several craftsmen in Dewey's shop and polished with warcraft nuclei trafficked from the north. So there were a few more aristocratic ladies and ladies in the house.

Of course, there are some people with different minds who know that the Duke of Tulip has returned to Didu and counted his mind on Dewey. Guess that the Duke will most likely come to the auction site today and simply bring his own daughter here. Just hope to meet Dewey here, maybe it will be a good thing to meet the Duke of Tulip and hug this tree from now on.

And more people, with the mind to explore the wind. After all, this unusual move of the temple is also frightening in the circle of power. Come here and see how the head Duke of Tulip responds.

Since he came to the auction site, Dewey didn't say much. The doubts and worries in his heart had all been put away at this moment. He was in a calm mood and his eyes were filled with perseverance.

Actually, that's what Dewey always does. Though he seemed a bit clever and cunning, he often liked the fact that the sword was deviating, he liked speculation and taking shortcuts, and he was used to planning things first.

However, if something really comes to an end and pushes him to the corner of the wall, he will naturally have a natural hidden stiffness that will erupt. Dewey is one such person, and if there are seven or eight paths ahead, he will carefully consider the analysis and the calculations. But if you push him, you give him a path, you don't give him a choice, then he doesn't really lack the courage to go that way into the dark.

At this moment, Dewey felt that since there was only one option before her, she couldn't say, so she had to do her best to spell it out. There was no need to think about anything else.

Dewey's thoughts naturally showed a certain indifference and fortitude on his face, walking all the way in, and some people next to him who wanted to say hello seemed afraid to speak, only to think that the juvenile Duchess seemed to have a chill. After all, the sorcerer's character is uncertain, and no one is willing to do much at this time.

Dewey walked all the way to the back, up the second floor from the beautiful spinning staircase that had been built, and in the VIP compartments, several old acquaintances had already arrived. Naturally, the earl of Billia and the Darren Mountain Warcraft are the first to strike.

Since the coup d 'état, the Count of Villa has been a member of the determined Prince Chen faction and has since taken over the royal estate, becoming an agent of the royal estate and a natural and powerful power. The Dragon Mountain Warcraft, on the other hand, is the premier arms dealer on the continent. The contact angle of the power network is spread throughout the military and the Imperial Treasury. He is also the red man in front of Prince Chen. As both of them, they naturally own the auction house as VIPs. And the rest of the compartments are sitting at the top of the Emperor's mansion.

When he saw Dewey come up, the Earl of Villa stood up and greeted him, and the Darren Mountain Warcraft walked out of the compartment with a smile. After all, Dewey looked at both of them badly, smiling and chilling for a while. But I was a little thankful to Count Billia last night, and now I'm upset: these guys knew about the auction, but yesterday they pretended to be deaf and mute in front of themselves without saying a word! Though Dewey knew it was necessarily Prince Chen's will, he felt some resentment.

Count Billia and the Dragon Mountain Warcraft are all old rivers and lakes in this circle for most of their lives. Though Dewey doesn't say anything, the divine state is inevitable. These two know what Dewey is thinking. Count Billia laughs first and whispers: “Dewey, I know you're probably a little dissatisfied with us right now. This matter is also an order of His Highness, and we cannot disobey it. Well... I sent someone to your place this morning to send an invitation to invite you to the party tonight so I can make amends to you in person. ”

A few similar remarks were made next to Mount Duran. Dewey, that's why I got so many invitations this morning.

He wasn't really a chicken gut person. Since they all said that, he didn't want to hang his anger on his face. He laughed. “You're both my best friends. Don't say that. I understand that in my heart. It's just... Alas, this hand of His Highness really gives me a headache. ”

Both old foxes laughed with a dry smile and did not dare to talk about Prince Chen. "Your Highness has always done things with a full heart, this time, of course, no exception. All we have to do is be priests. ”

Dewey naturally knew that this was an escape and that the two old foxes refused to take any responsibility, laughed and invited the two of them into the box.

These dozen compartments upstairs are lined up in a semi-open arc, similar to the VIP compartment on the second floor of the opera house in Dewey's past life. Because of this array of arcs, people can sit in the compartment and see people in the other compartments on the left and right.

Dewey walked into a compartment that Zach had arranged for him, and just sat down, he felt the look coming from the compartment next to him, and he looked to the left, but he saw the compartment on the left, sitting in a young nobleman in a gorgeous suit, this man in a black robe, a golden broadband on his waist, set with several stones, and the red collar style was also officially some of the most common styles of nobility from the South.

It's just that the people who are here today are all old men, like Count Villa and Mount Duran, who can sit in this VIP compartment at the age of 40 or 50. Apart from Dewey herself, very few young people are seen, so they have to look at each other twice.

This young man is quite handsome in appearance, but a pale face that is too pale to appear bloody, but is officially the pale of the standard the aristocrats dreamed of. It's just his face, but it's still a little blue in the white, obviously the wine has emptied itself out during the week. Though it looks good, it's a little dim in one eye. And what makes Dewey frown even more is that this young man's face, at first glance, was scrubbed with some powder. Dewey has always been very averse to men doing this kind of greasing powder. Although it is customary in the aristocratic circle, he himself has never liked it. He looked at such a good young man, greasing his face, even his lips seemed to have a red lip gloss, and he had to feel a little nauseous.

And he saw behind this young nobleman, a man around forty years old, standing beside him, but the middle-aged man looked smart and capable, dressed up, completely like a steward in the Hauguan family.

Dewey looked at the young man and found that he was also looking at himself. It's just a surprise to Dewey that this young man looks into his own eyes like he's not very friendly. There was something strange in Dewey's mind, and when the young man noticed that Dewey was looking at himself, he immediately retracted his eyes.

However, with Dewey's keen observation, when the other person hurriedly retracted his eyes, that gloom could not escape Dewey's eyes.

In Dewey's current capacity as a title and power, it is precisely when red, emperors are in a powerful circle, no one can stop knocking, how can anyone else show hostility to themselves? And looking at this young man as a stranger, Dewey asked himself that he had never seen him, let alone married him.

As soon as Dewey's heart moved, she asked the attendant around, pointing to the compartment next to her finger. The attendant, Zach, who was sent to serve Dewey, was very clever and immediately approached the bow and low voice: “Duke, this is the compartment of the Marquis de Sena. A few months ago, the Marquis of Sena used 40,000 gold coins to book this compartment for six months. The Marquis came in person on weekdays, except recently I heard that Marquis Sena is not feeling well and hasn't been here for a long time. Well, this young master, I suppose, is the son of the Marquis de Sena, Master DuPont. The Marquis de Sena has three sons, the youngest, but his mother is the full wife of the Marquis de Sena and comes from Haut-Men. So he's not the eldest son, but he's very spoiled in the family. ”

Dewey nodded.

Marquis Senna? That's the name Dewey knows. The Marquis de Sena is also said to be somewhat related to the royal family, although it was more than a hundred years ago. It's an ancient and historic Gate in the Emperor. Political positions have always been smart and rarely involved in any political struggle, following the principle of exclusion. So it was a hundred years of standing. And the family is very rich, the family has a lot of industries in the southern part of the empire, and in the early years when Augustine VI came to power, in preparation for the navy, the Marquis of Sena donated a lot of property, thus gaining the appreciation of Emperor Augustine VI, and then took advantage of the navy's Southern Ocean expedition opportunities to make a lot of war money, and did quite a bit of business. There have also been senior officials in the Navy who have served as logistics officers in the family, as well as territories and their own fleets in the South. There have also been high officials like the Governor in the family.

Overall, it's a first-class family.

It's just that... the Sennas don't seem to have offended them.

Dewey was thinking that this Young Master DuPont was spying on Dewey several times, but they all looked at him in a hurry and immediately turned their eyes away, making Dewey feel a little upset, so they simply glanced at him. Young Master DuPont panicked and turned his head quickly. He avoided carefully and did not dare to build again. But Dewey was impatient, staring at the young Master DuPont. The other party dared not look at Dewey, but held on to it and twisted it elsewhere. However, the expression on his face became more and more stiff, but his eyes gradually showed a little impatience.

However, the caretaker behind the young master saw Dewey, bent over very friendly and respectful, and gave a faraway courtesy.

At that point, on the front desk of the auction house below, little Zach had walked onto the stage.

This Dewey's steward also replaced a very formal black robe, making the whole man look a lot more solemn. He also pinched a little hammer of gold in his hand, came up to the reception, coughed first, attracted the whole scene, and then he opened his voice and said, “Thank you for coming, the auction has officially begun this month, now please be quiet. ”

After that, he bent over and bowed to the whole place, then walked behind a table on the stage.

In the past, it was only when the auction house was first established that Zach personally served as an auctioneer, and then he trained several professional employees to act as auctioneers, and he enjoyed himself lazily, but on such an important occasion today, Zach dared not slack on such an important auction. Changed clothes, lifted a hammer, and came up to host the auction himself.

Zach is now famous in the imperial circle of Didu. Everyone knows that he is the Duke of Tulip in Didu and gives him a little face. Seeing Zach announce the start, immediately, those loud conversations below disappeared.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” Zach coughed and said with a clear face: "Today's auction is officially open, and I would like to begin by welcoming friends on behalf of the Tulip Auction House. Next, today's first shipment is…”

Zach started introducing several items, all of which were expensive jewellery to pack or luxury items made from Warcraft's nucleus. The most expensive is just a newly created "Saint's Armor” worth 150,000 gold coins.

These things are naturally robberies. But today, Dewey sat upstairs in the compartment and looked down, clearly seeing the people present, all appeared indifferent, and only a few female guests revealed their desire for the jewellery. Most people, indifferent.

Finally, when Zach introduced the decree of the Pope's autograph, everyone's divine colour was taken seriously, most of them straightened to the neck.

Then the auction starts.

Those goods in front of us were not surprisingly volatile and the scene was very smooth, even because of today's special circumstances, it appeared that those present were not very interested in the goods in front of them and the transaction price was extremely low. Dewey couldn't help but laugh in her eyes. It seems that she didn't make much money from this auction today.

In less than a meal's time, the auction for the first few items ended, much faster than usual.

At last, Zach seemed a little nervous, wiped away the sweat, and then coughed, "Gentlemen, next we are going to do the last thing today…” He seemed to say “goods”, only to speak to his mouth, to think of the word "goods” to describe the Pope's own philosophy, seemed somewhat disrespectful, had to hasten to change his words, did not know how to describe it, could only obscure the past, continued: “As you know, His Holiness has mercy and compassion in his heart for the disaster victims of the South, this philosophy has received His Holiness's promise, and the proceeds of the auction will be donated to the disaster victims of the South. Let us begin by thanking His Holiness for this kind heart, and may the glory of the Goddess bless His Holiness. ”

Everyone hurried to make a crisp look.

Little Zach said here, paused for a moment, and the whole scene was silenced for a moment before he continued: “So… I hereby announce that, in accordance with the commission of the Temple of Light, this personal decree auction of His Holiness the Pope began, because this is a decree signed by His Holiness the Pope himself, this auction house was confirmed by the temple, this thing… there is no lower price, no upper limit, the higher price obtained. Now… please bid. ”

The last sentence was said, but the whole scene was caught in silence.

After a while, there were dozens of privileges, but you looked at me, and I looked at you, and no one spoke first. Everyone looks at the people around them with a probing look.

Dewey couldn't help sighing in the eyes...

Whoever comes here today to shoot this thing, if it's loyal to the royal family, no doubt, who dares to buy it? Well, there must have been people from the temple who came here to cheer up.

Finally……

“500,000 gold coins. ”

The first person to ask was a man sitting in the back row of the seat below, and Dewey looked at it, but he was a thin, tall man, dressed in gorgeous clothing, but looking at the look and the color of his hair should be typical of the South.

Dewey glanced at the attendant beside him, who looked twice and whispered in Dewey's ear: “My Duchess… this man is born with a very good face that I have never seen before. Well... it seems strange today, there are a lot of facial people here. ”

Dewey said, "Well, can strangers come in at the auction house? ”

The waiter whispered, "Well, half the seats were fixed in the past, and some tickets were sold publicly outside. And our auctions are held once a month, and tickets are often sold more than twenty days ago, some of them are still on the market, and the price is high on the black market. These face-to-face people who came here today probably bought the tickets on the market. ”

Dewey nodded and stopped talking.

Now that the bidding has begun, the price has soared all the way from the first quote to a million gold coins.

Dewey is even more surprised to see... aren't these people afraid to die? Stirring this stuff up here is against the royal family! Are these people out of their minds?

But Dewey also watched carefully, and these people called in and out the price, often with some exotic raw faces. Those powerful millionaires in Didu are often silent and watchful of developments.

When the price is called a million gold coins, the sound of continuing to raise the price is much lower. As soon as Dewey's heart moves, he understands the flowers. Apparently, in these raw faces below, there must be someone from the temple. Especially a few Southern accent guys, whose identities are even more suspicious.

Dewey hesitated for a moment and was about to quote, but suddenly heard a voice coming from the corner of the seat “1.2 million. ”

Dewey looked at it, but this man was a standard imperial businessman.

As soon as the man had finished shouting, there was a Southern accent who called a million and a half.

Then the merchant of Didu closed his mouth and looked upstairs. What surprises Dewey is that this man's gaze drifts in the direction of the cottage of the Darren Mountain Warcraft and Count Villa.

Dewey was frowning, and suddenly someone knocked on the door in the trunk room behind him, but Count Scalia sent a message to Dewey, saying only: This thing cannot be bought by outsiders. As the family of His Majesty Chen, we must naturally worry about the Regent. The Count of Billia and the Darren Mountain Warcraft have contacted several emperors and are ready to take a joint photo of this thing here. There is no way to let the Temple people buy it and take the opportunity to do an article.

Dewey nodded, and it appeared that both Mount Deland and Villa were unaware that they had received a secret order from Prince Chen, let alone that something had long been taken away by Prince Chen's men. The two of you came to tell Dewey, which is actually what it means: to make a statement to Dewey. After all, in the line of Prince Chen in the presence of now, Dewey's title is the highest, and the two also imply that it means looking to Dewey Ma.

Dewey thought about it and understood that this was what Billia and others meant in making their position, and that this move was also a clear expression of loyalty to Prince Chen.

When he thought of it, he sighed and gently said, "Two million gold coins. ”

Dewey's opening, though not loud, brought his voice from upstairs and immediately spread across the field, so that everyone could hear clearly.

In the box of the distant Count of Billia and the Darren Mountain Warcraft, both of them looked away at Dewey and nodded with a smile.

Then Mount Duran immediately sent a message to Dewey saying, "Since the Duchess is on horseback, they shut up, and if the Duchess does not have a tight hand, he is willing to stand by.

Good Mount Duran, I think I seem to understand that I was ordered to do so by Prince Chen.

Dewey sighed.

He shouted out two million gold coins, and immediately thereafter the southern accent cried out two and a half million.

All emperors in the arena took a breath, and the smart people understood that this was the beginning of nowhere!

Who doesn't know who Dewey is? If it is simply an auction of something, the tulip duke has spoken, then the other side, even if he has more money, will give the duke face and will not continue to bid with the duke.

But these southerners seemed prepared to come and not give Dewey any face, which made Dewey confirm the speculation in his heart - these southerners were sent by the Temple!

This play at the Temple is also interesting. The Pope writes such a decree and then sends his own men to buy it.

It means a lot!

After all, this affair amounts to a public provocation of the royal authority when the Pope himself presides over the Baptism and serves as the Patriarch. Such a commitment, however, is not easy for the Pope to make, but only on the royal justification of "fundraising for disaster”.

And the second step, the key is who's got the commitment!

If… if it falls into the hands of an ambitious man who holds power, then if this ambitious man receives this promise from the Pope, he can be baptized by the Pope himself… this is the same treatment as the royal family!

Most subtly, "the Pope himself presides over the Baptism" has been used for years as a sign of the legality of the succession to the throne!! Consider it sacred, noble!!

One of the most effective and simple ways to combat the royal prestige of the temple is to find a way for their own people to buy it back and then deliberately arrange for a vulgar property owner to be baptized by the Pope. In this way, one cannot help but think that any vulgar outburst household can be treated in the same way as the royal family, then the royal commissioner's ceremony for the legitimacy of the throne… there can be no more sacred nobility.

A deeper thought… If an ambitious man had received this promise, it would be reminiscent if one of the parties, such as Lugo the Northwest Army, had been personally baptized by the Pope: could it be considered that he had also received the highest sacred legitimacy?

Associations like this, once you open your mouth, are very dangerous!

Dewey sighed...

Less than a cup of tea, the price has shouted five million gold coins. Dewey's heart is naturally sore. Neither did his money come from the wind, and no matter how much the final price shouted to buy, he had to hand it over to the Temple in full.

When the price shouted eight million gold coins, there was finally no sound below.

Dewey's heart suddenly creates a little anxiety... is that it? So it's that simple to complete the mission? In that case, it would be too simple to destroy the temple's plan.

True! Dewey's mind hasn't turned yet, and suddenly she hears a crisp, pleasant female voice coming from the front door of the auction house, which is delicate but rather holy.

“I'm sorry to bother you. I know it's rude to be late, so please excuse me. ”

As the voice went down, the auction house door was pushed open and a woman in a long white dress slowly walked in. The woman was tall and skinny, wearing a white dress, but was clearly the style of a clergyman in the temple. A long, blonde hair spread out smoothly, and a large, snow-white beard was worn behind her.

She stood at the door and her eyes swept so gently all over the place, attracting everyone's attention. The woman's voice was very young, standing at the door, and the clergyman's clothing suddenly brought a certain sense of sanctity and nobility. Though she is not half as luxurious as a piece of jewellery, she is hidden in a noble atmosphere when her hands are raised.

As soon as Dewey heard this voice, her eyes flashed a little shadow!

This is the daughter of the late Grand Prince, Her Highness Princess of the Sacrificial Temple!

Her Royal Highness, the Virgin Princess, walked in with a clear eye and a white veil over her face. Although her appearance could not be clearly seen, those eyes were like cold moon, more posing, walking, obviously all kinds of charm, but with a certain sanctity, this complex temperament merged into her body, making people feel comfortable.

Seeing this princess arrive, Dewey immediately frowned.

At this time, suddenly, Dewey heard the young master DuPont from the Marquis de Sena's house next door, and suddenly a short whisper appeared in his mouth. Dewey turned around and saw the surprise of this young master DuPont's face, his eyes filled with fiery eyes, staring closely at the princess below.

Her Royal Highness also looked up and smiled at the young master. The young master suddenly blushed and suddenly got some encouragement. He shouted: "Ten million gold coins! ”
