When Young Master Thirteen entered, the auction was already halfway through. Of course, the auction wouldn't wait for him to come. Not to mention that they didn't know he was coming, even if they knew, they wouldn't wait. Every trade had its own rules.
However, most of the items at the front were just ordinary goods. The truly good things were mostly left at the back, and the best things would definitely be left at the end.
After a long while, the thirteenth young master finally made his move. He raised his paddle and called out a bid. As soon as he called out a bid, the others immediately stopped bidding. In the end, he successfully won the bid.
This wasn't because he bid a high price, but because this item wasn't very important. No one wanted to offend him, at least they wouldn't fight over it.
Sometimes, there were benefits to squandering, and you could pick up some cheap items.
The problem was …
"Young Master, why are you buying this? You can't be thinking of giving this to the Seventh Princess, right?" Hu Niu asked with a frown.
This auction item was a sword, an ornamental sword. Although it had some historical value, it was completely useless to martial artists. In other words, it had no practical value at all.
This kind of ornamental sword was usually worn by some young masters and not by noble ladies and madams. Perhaps some noble ladies who practiced martial arts would use it, and the Seventh Princess was a magician.
"No, this is for me to play with. How can such a cheap thing be a gift for my wife? I'll buy a better one later," Young Master Thirteen said, shaking his head. By better, he meant more expensive.
Another N number of items were auctioned, and the Thirteenth Young Master also made a few bids in between. However, it was all for fun, and he either bought strange magic devices or magic scrolls that he used as fireworks.
There was no need to explain more about magic scrolls, and there was nothing to add. The only thing to point out was that magic scrolls weren't easy to make on this continent, and the materials were very expensive, so they were all expensive and luxurious items.
And Young Master Thirteen used these expensive and luxurious items as fireworks. It was really extravagant and wasteful, but to be honest, the effect of magic was much more gorgeous than fireworks.
"Now, let's bring out the last three items for today's auction, which will be the focus of our attention. The first item on display is the legendary Moon Goddess's Laurel, which was gifted to his beloved Empress by the Sith Emperor. It is the product of the blood, sweat, and tears of nearly a hundred famous craftsmen, and on top of it is the largest sapphire. The starting price is 50,000 gold coins. Please make your bid. "The auctioneer started the auction immediately after the familiar introduction.
"Young Master, this is not bad. We can give it to the Seventh Princess as a gift." Though Hu Niu felt that this was a bit too expensive, at present, this was the best choice.
However, she realized that the thirteenth young master didn't seem to be interested in it. He had no intention of bidding at all.
"Oh, is this good? Let's buy it then. 100,000 … "Thirteenth Young Master said casually, and this sentence was very obviously telling everyone that if Hu Niu had not reminded him, he would not have known that this was one of the things that girls loved the most.
"The 13th Young Master of the Ye Clan is at 100,000. Is there anyone higher than him? One hundred thousand going once … "
"110,000!" Since the Moon Goddess's Laurel was worth more than 100,000, there were still many people who continued to bid. Unless it was much higher than its value, no one would give way to others.
"120,000." Thirteenth Young Master didn't even think and directly bid again.
"150,000!" That person continued to shout, and as expected, just as he finished bidding, Thirteenth Young Master's voice immediately sounded.
"160,000."
"… 170,000 …"
"180,000."
"…"
In the end, Thirteenth Young Master bought the Moon Goddess's Laurel at a slightly high price of 180,000. However, for him, the more expensive it was, the better it was.
The next item, which was also the second highlight of this auction, was a treasured sword. This time, it wasn't for decoration, but was a top-grade treasured sword forged by a master weaponsmith. It was a weapon that many swordsmen dreamed of owning.
When the people present called out high prices again and again, Thirteenth Young Master didn't move. It wasn't that he was waiting for the last person, but rather that he was not interested in it at all.
Fighting and killing isn't suitable for a prodigal like me. I don't want this kind of weapon.
"The last item … This is a secret auction. It's this box. The starting price is 100,000 gold coins." When the auctioneer introduced the item, it was obvious that he didn't have much confidence.
Secret auctions were also a type of auction. There were many types. Some auction houses knew what they were, while others were like this box, where even the auction house didn't know what it was.
In the past, even if they didn't know what it was, there would at least be some hints. At the very least, they would know how much the item inside was worth.
This time, someone auctioned this box without revealing any information and directly asked for a starting price of 100,000 gold coins. After paying the processing fee, the auctioneer didn't bother with it anymore.
No matter how the auction house probed, they couldn't find out what was inside. However, since the guest had already paid the processing fee, they could only bid for it.
However, how many people would have the courage to buy such an item? 100,000 gold coins. If the item inside wasn't worth that much, what would happen?
Hence, the auctioneer didn't have much confidence. He felt that this item would probably not be sold.
"100,000 gold coins? What's inside? " Someone started to ask. After all, it was difficult for people to make up their minds to buy a box that didn't say anything.
"We don't know what exactly is inside. We can only say that those who are willing to take the risk can buy it. Perhaps there's something worth more than 100,000 gold coins inside. If there isn't, the auction house won't be responsible. " The auctioneer said. He was also reminding his guest not to take risks. Of course, the most important thing was that the auction house wouldn't be responsible if they bought the item wrongly.
Perhaps some people wouldn't understand why there was such a format. In fact, this was only one of the rules. However, this rule was rarely used. After all, no one would be willing to take the risk to buy such an item.
At the same time, the more complete the information of the item was, the more people would bid for it. Secret auctions were rarely seen. Instead, secret auctions were more common.
Of course, there was no lack of people who wanted to achieve a special purpose and would conduct secret auctions. However, they would more or less reveal some information about the item. This information couldn't be faked. Later on, when the auction house carried out the transaction, they would verify this.
However, this item was too special. Without saying anything, the starting price was 100,000 gold coins. Not to mention this format, this starting price of 100,000 gold coins was also very rare. Items of this level were basically national treasures.
This situation made people curious. At the same time, it also made people adopt a wait-and-see attitude …
At this moment, when everyone present, including the auctioneer, thought that this item would not be sold, a voice sounded. While it was surprising, it also made sense.
If it was someone else, everyone would be surprised. But since it was this person, everyone felt that it was very normal. Among everyone present, only this person would buy this strange box.
Because this person was simply a prodigal. A prodigal whose goal was to squander. This person was our Thirteenth Young Master.
"100,000!"
