The largest auction in the City of Lemia was the property of the Refino Family.
Like the Brouch Family, the Reverno Family was one of the seven royal families. On the surface, there was a powerful Marquis overseeing them, while the Duke had been in seclusion for thousands of years.
Fang Qingyan got off the carriage.
He looked up at the grand and tall building. People were coming and going at the door, and all of them were nobles.
Commoners were not qualified to enter.
"Sir, please show your identity.”
Fang Qingyan was stopped at the door.
Although the two guards were polite, their eyes were filled with vigilance because Fang Qingyan was unfamiliar.
"I'm Count Castin's butler.”
Fang Qingyan took out the metal plate that symbolized his identity as a butler. On it was printed the family emblem of Count Casteine.
The two guards immediately let him in.
After entering, an attendant led the way. After passing through a long corridor, they arrived at a spacious hall. This was the auction venue.
Rows of seats were neatly arranged, with a walkway in the middle for people to walk, and a high platform at the front.
"It's your first time here, so let me explain the rules.”
The attendant said very politely," During the auction, you are not allowed to speak. You need to keep quiet. Each participant had five cards corresponding to: 500, 1000, 5000, 10000 gold coins.”
It was a very western-style auction.
Fang Qingyan nodded, indicating that she understood.
The waiter handed over a black mask shaped like a bat's wing.""This is a mask. You can choose not to wear it.”
"Put it on."
He reached out and took it.
……
After sitting down, Fang Qingyan looked around discreetly.
There were many people attending this auction.
There were about a few hundred people, and all of them were nobles. There were even a few Earls among them.
In Lamia City, counts were considered nobles. They had their own fiefs and private armies.
Marquises were the officials of the border, and their status was extremely noble. They rarely came to participate in such an auction unless they received news in advance that there would be something amazing.
……
After waiting for a few more minutes.
The auction began.
The host was a Baron Vampire.
"Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Reverno Family, I welcome you all…"
After a simple warm-up, the first auction item was brought up.
It was a Five-Star Magic Tool that had been auctioned off for 1,800 gold coins. In the end, it was bought by an Earl.
Fang Qingyan was not interested in magic weapons. He had a better seven-star magic weapon, the Scythe of Death.
Then the second, the third…
Finally, after the seventh auction item was brought up on stage, Fang Qingyan instantly became alert and could not help but sit up straight.
It was a coffin!
There were exquisite blood-colored patterns in the darkness. It was 2.7 meters long and 1.5 meters wide. It was much larger than an ordinary coffin, and the texture was extremely thick and mysterious.
"As everyone can see, this is a corpse raising coffin. I believe everyone can already feel its extraordinary craftsmanship!”The host praised loudly," This is a corpse coffin made by the army of the Refino Family, a goblin elder who was captured on the battlefield. Every exquisite pattern on it can be said to be the peak of art!”
"This is definitely a top-quality coffin. You can't buy such a high-quality coffin in any shop in Lamia!”
Fang Qingyan was tempted.
Moreover, he could feel that the other counts and nobles present were also tempted.
The level of this coffin was definitely not inferior to Castin's, and might even be higher.
A good coffin was the face of the vampires!
If you have a top-notch coffin, you can proudly show off to the girl you like in the future. My coffin is big and comfortable!
Perhaps the girl would be tempted and agree to go home with you.
Moreover, with such a large coffin, you could invite two girls at once. It wouldn't be too crowded even if you had one on your left and one on your right!
"Starting price: 1500 gold coins!”
As soon as the host finished speaking, someone immediately raised their sign and bid.
Then, someone raised their placard.
A bunch of people were bidding crazily, and the price was soon pushed to a terrifying figure. 6400 gold coins!
Fang Qingyan's eyes widened.
One gold coin was enough for an ordinary civilian family to live without worry for half a year.
6400 gold coins was an astronomical figure. It could fill a small chest.
As a butler, he knew very well that Count Castern's annual tax was only about 3,000 gold coins.
These people were too rich…
Fang Qingyan glanced at his backpack and reconfirmed his savings. 8926 gold coins.
It was equivalent to three years of tax revenue for an earl.
However, he did not have the slightest confidence that he could get it.
Fortunately, after the price was raised to this high, the speed slowed down, and many people withdrew from the competition.
Currently, there were only two Earls left fighting for it.
" Oh, Count Armand bids 7,000 gold coins, 7,000 gold coins going once…Alright, Count Augustine bids 500 gold coins, 7,500 gold coins going once…7,500 gold coins going twice…"
The host was passionate.
Fang Qingyan saw that Count Armand had lost his temper.
Without any hesitation, he raised his token…
"Oh my god, another gentleman has joined the competition. He bid 8,000 gold coins. 8,000 gold coins going once!”
Count Augustine hesitated for a moment, but he still raised his sign and increased the bid by 500.
Fang Qingyan narrowed his eyes. He really only had 426 gold coins left!
This old brother was really fierce. He had defeated six or seven Earls by himself. Looking at this momentum, Fang Qingyan would also be defeated.
It seemed that he had to use some tricks…
Fang Qingyan took a deep breath, and a hazy purple light appeared in his eyes. He used his superpower. Mind reading.
He had already reached the peak of Earl, and his spiritual power was much stronger than the other party's.
Therefore, he was able to read Augustine's thoughts. Oh, I really don't have much money left. Damn bastard, don't raise the price anymore!
Fang Qingyan's eyes lit up. Good heavens, you pretended to be invincible on your face, but you're also weak?
He immediately wrote a number on the blank board and raised it high.
The emcee was stunned for a moment and widened his eyes."Uh…this gentleman raises the bid…1 gold coin! Cough cough, 8001 gold coins going once!”
Count Augustine's face darkened. He immediately gave up and swore as he withdrew from the competition.
He suspected that Fang Qingyan was deliberately raising his price by one gold coin. The auction house had hired a fake to squeeze his wallet dry.
You want me to raise the price? Hmph, I won't!
"…Third time! Congratulations to this gentleman for obtaining a top-notch coffin!”
Fang Qingyan heaved a sigh of relief.
After living in Lamia City for so long, this was the first time he felt the power of money!
Everyone present today had been defeated by his 'money' ability!
