After saying that, Marquis T impatiently walked forward, causing the eyes of the experts from the Nosferatu Family to twitch. The auction was still going on, yet you directly walked up. Isn't this a slap in the face?
Looking at the handsome western man walking up, Mino's face slightly darkened. However, she quickly eliminated the trace of unhappiness in her heart and asked faintly, "Sir, can we discuss anything after the auction is over?"
A graceful smile appeared on Marquis T's face. "No, beautiful lady, I think you've probably misunderstood."
Huh? Mino smiled faintly and asked, "Then, sir, do you have something good that I haven't seen before?"
Regardless of whether he had it or not, there was no doubt that it was no longer allowed to add new auction items. The person in charge of the auction said helplessly. Could it be that rich people nowadays are so capricious?
I think you'll definitely be interested in this thing. " After saying that, he actually took out a piece of jade from his pocket.
This is? The auctioneer's eyes suddenly widened to the size of a copper bell. This piece of jade didn't look like an ordinary item. The ancient and vicissitudes of life on it had almost reached the point where it was a little daunting.
This piece of jade should be the jade from the Sunken Jade incident. Mino smiled faintly. "This thing is too expensive. It's not very suitable for today's occasion. I think that no one here has the financial resources to bid for this treasure."
These celebrities naturally weren't fools. They could tell at a glance that this piece of jade was not an ordinary item at all. However, their funds were indeed limited. The value of this piece of jade was difficult to estimate. Perhaps the country's cultural relics department would intervene. Even if they could buy it, they would still have to hand it over to the country in the end. Why would they waste their energy?
What I mean is, from now on, this piece of jade belongs to you, Miss. " Marquis T made an extremely gentlemanly gesture and held the piece of jade wrapped in red cloth in front of Mino.
Mino's expression froze for a moment. Then, she thought for a moment and shook her head. "I'm sorry, but this gift is too expensive. I can't accept it."
When Marquis T heard this, he raised the jade pendant up high and was about to smash it on the ground. Since Miss doesn't want it, then I don't want this trash.
Originally, he just wanted to show off a little, but he didn't expect that the thing would really fall from his hand and fall to the ground. Immediately, he turned pale with fright. F * ck, this is too much. If this thing breaks, I'll definitely be beaten to death by my father and uncle.
Just as everyone was about to exclaim subconsciously, Earl J's figure flickered, and he bent down to pick up the treasure that was about to shatter on the ground. He then handed it to Marquis T without even looking at it.
Suddenly, the crowd was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. Then, someone took the lead, and a thunderous applause suddenly rang out.
Earl J gracefully bowed to the crowd, then stared at Marquis T, who was sweating profusely, and said, "Shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation?"
At this time, Marquis T almost felt like strangling himself alive. Why did he suddenly lose his mind? He was so eager to show off his generosity in front of a beautiful woman, and almost caused a disaster. Most importantly, this move of his was actually seen by his uncle!
Forget it. Earl J's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping water. Then, he took a deep breath and said, "Since the other party doesn't want it, it means that you shouldn't give such an expensive thing away."
Marquis T nodded in fear and trepidation. "This nephew will remember.
However, we do want to exchange something with you. " How could Li Shu not see what Jiang Cheng was thinking? He immediately said indifferently, "In terms of status and history, this thing is indeed similar to this piece of jade."
After saying that, he said indifferently, "Come, bring that stone plate to the guest of the Nosferatu family." As soon as he finished speaking, an etiquette lady in a long red dress quickly walked over and displayed the conical stone plate in front of Marquis T.
Marquis T was stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "What is this?
This is a fragment of an extraterrestrial meteorite that we recently discovered. " Li Shu said indifferently, "What we know so far is that the material that this fragment is made of is far harder and more ductile than any known metal on Earth."
Everyone on Jiang Cheng's side glared at him. This kind of material was clearly extremely rare. If it was in the hands of others, they would want to keep this secret for ten thousand years. But he, on the other hand, had just blabbered it out. This time, they had completely lost the initiative.
No one noticed that a faint smile appeared on Earl J's face.
Marquis T turned around and cast an inquiring look at his uncle. Earl J nodded almost imperceptibly, indicating that this deal could be done.
Thus, both sides completed the exchange in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Both sides were incomparably happy, but the reason for their happiness was a little different.
Jiang Cheng's camp was happy because the second part of the key was now in their hands. Jiang Cheng himself was hidden in the other camp, so sooner or later, he would find a chance to get the stone plate back. When that time came, they would have the first key and would undoubtedly have a greater advantage in the battle for the ruins.
On the other hand, the Nosferatu family was happy because they had given up an item that was unlikely to be the key in exchange for another item that was very likely to be the key. Once this stone plate was proven to be the key, wouldn't the Nosferatu family have gotten a great deal for nothing?
Both sides were grinning from ear to ear, then they turned around and left. Of course, at this time, Marquis T still hadn't forgotten his plan to pick up girls. It was just that it wasn't easy for him to do it with his uncle beside him. It was better to find another opportunity.
After returning to the family encampment, Marquis T immediately impatiently gathered the family's scientific team to start the targeted research. On the other hand, Mino didn't slack off in the slightest as she started her research.
Seeing that his uncle's face was still very gloomy, Marquis T carefully struggled for a long time before asking in a low voice, "Are you still angry about what happened today?
No. " Earl J said in a gloomy tone, "That jade disc and this stone plate are not the keys we need."
What? This time, Marquis T's young face suddenly turned pale, and then he suddenly became excited. Is what you said true?
Earl J was instantly stunned. Why? You still look very happy?
That's right. Marquis T said in an extremely strange tone, "For us, the Nosferatu family, this advantage is something we can take or not take. Anyway, we don't really need this ruins. Even if this is the first key, there are still other keys that we may not be able to get. Why are we so conflicted about these things?"
An extremely strange thought suddenly welled up in Jiang Cheng's mind. If the Nosferatu family's goal wasn't the keys, then what was their real goal? Judging from the forces that the family had sent out so far, they must also be here for something very important. What exactly was this thing?
Actually, I like that beautiful lady very much. Marquis T didn't know what his uncle was thinking. Instead, he said to himself, "If this stone plate is also a fake key, then I can take this opportunity to talk to her a little more. Then maybe I can win the beauty's heart and become a legend."
The other experts of the Nosferatu family were speechless for a while. Their young master's imagination was really too rich. This wasn't even the slightest clue yet, how could he already think of such things?
Obviously, Jiang Cheng also didn't care about these things. Even if he heard it, he would just dismiss it with a laugh. Because forget about winning the beauty back home, Marquis T would be lucky enough not to be tormented by Mino's icy beauty into a vampire's soul.
At the same time, Mino's side also came to such an extremely unacceptable conclusion. That was, what they exchanged for with half a key turned out to be a fake key!
Wait a minute. Li Shu suddenly frowned hard. "I have a question."
What question? Lord Ximen seemed to have thought of something as well. His eyes lit up and he asked.
"Is there anything specific that indicates that the key must be two separate parts?" Li Shu asked in a low voice.
"No." Everyone shook their heads honestly.
"Then is there anything that can prove the authenticity of the key?" Li Shu continued to ask.
Everyone still shook their heads.
"Then, has anyone told you the specific shape of the key?"
"No." Mino let out a long sigh and then said indifferently, "We have fallen into a huge misunderstanding.
This misunderstanding is that we know nothing about the key, but we have a way to verify the authenticity of the key. " Lin Duwu also seemed to have understood a little. She slowly turned her head and looked at the researchers who were still busy with their work. There was already a faint killing intent in her eyes.
