The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 53

Count Juneau still refused to make an offer. He plans to make an offer on June 30. As time passed, the appraisal of the three sculptures continued to increase, but since even the work of an expert crafter was valued at around a thousand gold, the price rose rather slowly.

500 Gold coins. 510 gold coins.515 gold coins.

The offer kept going up slowly. On June 29, they only rose to 625 gold coins.

30 June.

Count Juneau actually did not appear this morning, which was quite a rare opportunity. He waited until nightfall, as the Proulx Gallery did not close until midnight. Three of Linley's statues will also be removed from the gallery in the middle of the night.

“Price yesterday is 625 gold coins. I will make an offer in the end. ”Count Juneau smiled as he walked towards the three statues.

“900 gold coins? What idiot made this offer? ”After seeing the highest bid, Juneau's heart exploded with rage.

The price yesterday was only 625 gold coins, but within a day, the price had risen dramatically. Although Prince Juneau was furious, there was nothing he could do. He decided to wait patiently, and after a long time, he finally looked up to see the clock above.

“Already at 11pm. In an hour, the place will be closed. ”Count Juneau revealed a slight smile.

In Fenlai City, the Prince of Juneau could be considered a middle-class noble. When he was young, Count Juneau was actually quite poor. Then, it was due to his ingenious investment and the collection of statues that helped him slowly gain wealth. His net worth right now was hundreds of thousands of gold coins. He could be considered a rather wealthy noble.

"Count Juneau, are you here too?" A moustached middle-aged man wearing a gulping shirt smiled as he walked.

Upon seeing this person, Count Juneau's face changed, but he was still able to smile calmly. “Count Demme [De'mu]! It's almost eleven. Why are you here? ”But in his heart, Prince Juneau felt that things were getting worse.

Count Juneau and Count Demme were both considered to be quite famous collectors of statues among the nobles of Fenlai City.

"I? For these three sculptures, of course. "Count Demme stroked his mustache, then said in satisfaction," Count Juneau, look. The stripes and aura of these three statues were stunning. An expert capable of producing such a unique aura must also be a unique person. ”

Count Juneau's heart quivering.

Indeed indeed…

This Demme count had also seen the value of these three statues. For him to arrive at eleven most likely meant he had the same idea as Prince Juneau.

"Miss, please come here. ”Said Count Demme politely to a female attendant nearby, who walked towards them with a smile. Count Demme pointed to these three statues of Linley. “I'm willing to pay a thousand gold coins for each of these statues. ”

The attendant said politely, “Wait a minute. ”

He took out a notebook and made some notations before placing a bid slip next to the statue.

"A thousand gold coins?" The facial muscles on Count Juneau's face twitched.

Count Demme said to him with a smile, “Count Juneau, these three statues are truly amazing. Right, what brings you here so late at night, instead of resting at home? Are you here for these three sculptures as well? ”

Count Juneau let out a light buzz.

Looking at the scene before him, Count Demme sneered mentally. "Old man, do you really think you can hide your thoughts from me?"

Like a river murmur, music continued to play in the main hall of the Proulx Gallery of Count Juneau and Count Demme both silently looked at the various statues. The gallery remained silent as usual.

"Dongs. Dong "Hour on the wall started to ring.

It's midnight now.

"Miss, please come here. ”Juneau said to the officer, who immediately ran.

“Three of these sculptures, I am willing to buy for 1010 gold pieces. ”Count Juneau made a quote at the last moment.

Officers saw that the current bid on the statue was 1000 gold pieces. Inevitably he glanced at Count Juneau. It was fortunate that Count Juneau had added ten pieces, and not just one.

"Please wait a minute . "The officer took out his notebook.

“Count Juneau, you really only bid ten gold pieces? I'll offer you 1100 gold pieces! "Count Demme's voice sounded. Count Juneau frowned as he turned to look at Count Demme, who was casually stepping with an excited air, an arrogant look in his eyes.

As it turned out, Count Demme had been watching Count Juneau all along, and once Count Juneau made his bid, he came over.

"I bid 1,200. ”Count Juneau said in a low voice, his anger clearly visible. Seeing the impending struggle between the two nobles, the attendant closed his notebook and stood to the side, happily watching the battle. The officers of the Proulx Gallery were delighted to see customers enter the bidding war.

Count Demme glanced at Count Juneau with 'amused'. “Count Juneau, even the statues in the hall of experts are only worth about a thousand gold coins. How could a frugal person like you be willing to pay 1,200 gold? "

Efficient?

Peels are the word! Prince Juneau is famous for his misery.

“Count Juneau, if you want to bid 1200, then I can't be stingy either. 1300 pieces of gold! "

Count Juneau's icy gaze. “The only reason why I am willing to offer high prices for these three statues is because I like them. Their true value was only about a thousand gold or so. 1500 pieces of gold! If you, Count Demme, are willing to make a higher bid, then you can take it. ”Count Juneau made his last offer.

In all honesty, Prince Demme disagrees with Prince Juneau. He did not discover the unique and strange aura of these statues.

In the eyes of Count Demme, these statues held no secrets. They were only three fine works of art, worth a thousand gold or so. If he raised the price even further, it would be useless.

"Ha ha . "Count Demme laughing. "It was rare that Count Juneau was so generous in his offer. In honor of this opportunity, I certainly could not rob the property of his loved ones. These three statues are yours, Prince Juneau. ”

Only now did the officer step forward again and start recording the bid into his book.

"Milord Count, it's midnight. Gallery will be closed soon. Count Juneau, tomorrow I will arrange for the people to send you the statues. "The officer smiled. Only now did Prince Juneau smile as well.

Count Juneau glanced at Count Demme, feeling despicable. "Son. How many years did I spend analyzing stone sales? You don't have any insight, and you still want to bid against me? "
