"Fake! This rich bastard"
Several professional treasure hunters cursed secretly, shook their heads and quit the competition.
The offer of US$30,000 has completely penetrated their pockets.
Even though they had been saving the bullets in their hands before, they had spent a lot in a series of auctions, and there was not much money left in their hands.
At this time, Xiao Ran suddenly raised the price in a big way. How could they withstand it?
Helpless, they could only withdraw with regret.
In the blink of an eye, there were only three competitors left, and one of them was Xiao Ran.
The other two guys were also reaching their limit and hesitated when accepting the offer.
Xiao Ran didn't look back to see who these two guys were, but he was sure from the fact that they didn't raise their cards for a long time.
These two guys can't stand it any longer. One more round and they might be able to defeat their opponents.
The auctioneer asked twice in succession, and just when the hammer was about to fall, one of them raised his bidding sign and accepted the bid of US$32,000.
"Elaine, quote $50,000, that should be enough."
Xiao Ran smiled and whispered.
Before she finished speaking, Elaine had already raised her bidding number.
"$50,000"
As soon as the offer came out, there was an exclamation of exclamation at the scene.
"Wow! Sean is so crazy. He offered $50,000 for such a broken helmet. It's crazy!"
"Obviously, there must be some secret hidden behind this helmet."
"This should be a valuable antique cultural relic, but unfortunately no one can stop this guy Sean"
While there was a lot of discussion, everyone at the scene was determined.
This medieval helmet is certainly authentic and is worth a fortune.
But what can you do if you know what to do? You can’t compete at all!
Who has $50,000 in their pocket? It’s probably rare!
Even if there is still some money, who can guarantee that the rich bastard will not continue to raise prices like crazy?
If he calls for $100,000 next time, no one will be able to catch it.
Obviously, this medieval helmet is already in the possession of that bastard, and no one else can even think of coveting it.
Faced with an offer of $50,000, the only two remaining competitors looked pained.
After hesitating for less than two seconds, they shook their heads one after another and regretfully withdrew from the competition.
Seeing this scene, everyone sighed helplessly.
"Damn rich people, isn't this a clear sign of bullying!"
Everyone present cursed secretly.
After asking three times in succession, no one responded.
The auctioneer then swung the auction hammer in his hand and hit the auction table.
"boom"
The deal was hammered down.
"Awesome, finally got this medieval helmet"
Elaine immediately cheered, extremely excited.
She no longer restrained her excitement, and there was no need.
Among all the lots that Xiao Ran has his eye on, this is the most important one.
Grab this medieval helmet and you're done for the day.
The few remaining items that have not yet been auctioned are actually irrelevant.
Of course, it’s best to take pictures of them, so as not to disappoint fans who are interested in those things.
Elaine was cheering excitedly, but Xiao Ran just smiled softly.
There was also laughter in the live broadcast room.
"Yes! This guy picked up another big leak. I just don't know how much this medieval knight's helmet is worth?"
Shijouji said with envy.
"There's no way, this guy is too rich, how can these people here stand up to him!"
Xiaoyao Hou continued.
Auction site.
Jeremy, who was sitting in the second row behind, poked his head curiously and asked:
"Sean, you have taken down this medieval helmet. Now can you tell me about the condition of this helmet?"
Xiao Ran shook his head gently.
"I only saw that it was a medieval Crusader knight's helmet, with relatively high specifications, and I didn't find much."
"The reason why I took the photo of this helmet was because I wanted to take a gamble, hoping to get a surprise!"
"The quotation of US$50,000 is actually the upper limit I set. If someone follows up just now, this helmet will belong to him."
"Tch! Only if I believe you can there be ghosts."
Jeremy complained to himself and didn't ask any more questions.
There were boos in the live broadcast room.
While talking, another auction item appeared on the big screen.
The auction continues.
In the subsequent auction, Elaine raised her placard several times and bought several items.
The auction of customs confiscated items did not end until around two o'clock in the afternoon.
The next step is payment settlement.
As the buyer with the largest transaction volume in this auction, Xiao Ran was the first to settle.
After paying the money, he immediately received the items he had just photographed, all in good condition.
Among these items, Xiao Ran was most concerned about the two boxes of special yellow sauce Maotai.
What Elaine paid most attention to was the medieval knight's helmet.
After getting all the photographed items, Xiao Ran immediately opened one of the boxes of Maotai and checked the situation.
As a result, there were six bottles of Maotai neatly stacked in the box, one bottle a lot.
as expected.
These Maotai are indeed produced in 1982, and they are all genuine special yellow sauce.
Even though he had known the result for a long time, Xiao Ran was still full of surprise.
Those guys in the live broadcast room were even more envious and admired.
"I'll go! These are all good babies!"
"It would be great if I could give my brother a bottle, and I would also like to try the 1982 special yellow sauce Maotai."
Jiujiu Guiyi said with envy.
"Who doesn't want to try the special Moutai that costs hundreds of thousands of bottles? Just two or three cups will do."
Brother Hua continued.
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
"It depends on everyone's luck. If you are lucky, you may be able to drink it."
"If air traffic resumes as soon as possible, if you come to Los Angeles, you may be able to drink this special yellow sauce Maotai."
While talking, Elaine, who was looking at the medieval knight's helmet next to her, suddenly whispered in surprise:
"Sean, there are two lines of text engraved on the inside of this helmet, which is Latin."
"There is also the early black and white octagonal cross badge of the Knights Hospitaller, as well as the name of a knight."
"Although these words and badges are rusty, part of the content can still be recognized..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Ran walked up to her and whispered a reminder.
"Keep your voice down. Some things are not suitable to be discussed here. Let's go back and study it slowly."
But Elaine still couldn't hold it back, and whispered in an almost trembling voice:
"Only a few letters can be seen in these two lines of Latin, but combined with the background of the Knights Hospitaller, you can still guess their meaning."
"They mean, guard the faith and save suffering! This is the slogan and purpose of the Knights Hospitallers"
"The name engraved on the inside of the helmet is vaguely identifiable. It is Gerald. Could it be the blessed Gerald?"
As she spoke, she pointed to the words and emblems engraved on the inside of the helmet.
Of course Xiao Ran knew these things well.
At this moment, she wished she could reach out and cover Elaine's mouth to prevent her from telling more secrets.
"Auntie, please, please don't say it again!"
"If others hear this, we won't even think about leaving today."
"Look around you. How many eager eyes are staring at us?"
With that said, Xiao Ran took the knight's helmet and put it into the box provided by the auction house.
Elaine quickly stopped talking and quickly looked at the surrounding situation.
Just as Xiao Ran said, the professional treasure hunters and treasure hunting enthusiasts who were queuing up for settlement were all staring at them.
Without exception, those guys were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, and many of them had their eyes a little red.
Seeing this scene, Elaine couldn't help but shiver and didn't dare to say anything more.
At this moment, Jeremy and another guy suddenly walked over.
Coming closer, the two guys looked at the knight's helmet in unison.
"Sean, have you discovered anything new about this knight's helmet?"
Jeremy asked curiously.
"I just got this helmet and haven't had time to study it yet. I haven't found anything new. I'll wait until I get back to study it."
Xiao Ran shook his head firmly.
I can’t tell you if I have discovered anything! That will definitely set the scene ablaze!
In that case, it might cause a lot of trouble.
Jeremy and the others didn't believe Xiao Ran's words at all, but there was nothing they could do about it.
After chatting for a while, these two guys also went to line up to settle.
Xiao Ran and Elaine looked at each other, then pushed the luggage cart filled with harvests and walked straight to the warehouse door.
At this time, the live broadcast room was as lively as a boiling pot.
"Looking at the performance of Xiao Ran and Elaine, this medieval knight's helmet is obviously worth a lot of money. Xiao Ran must have picked up another shocking leak!"
Contentment is not always happy and he said excitedly.
"Now I want to know, who is the blessed Gerald? Can anyone give some information?"
Five Color Rubik's Cube asked curiously.
Xiao Ran did not immediately respond to these guys' questions.
The time is not right now, wait until it is safe.
While he was talking, he and Elaine had already reached the warehouse gate.
At this moment, his other cell phone suddenly rang.
Xiao Ran took out his cell phone and took a look. It was a call from Ma Ming, and it was not a confidential number.
Seeing this call, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then answered the call.
