"Geral? Why would he be interested in such a low-quality music box?" Sharon pushed away the girl sitting on him and looked at the auction below.
A trace of doubt arose in Sharon's heart. With Jellal's level of alchemy, there is definitely something fishy about being suddenly interested in a music box.
"Could it be that he really misjudged this music box?" Sharon stared at the elegant black and gold box on the support table with a vague feeling of something bad.
When Sharon was looking at the music box, the price outside had soared to 750 magic crystals.
David held up the sign tremblingly and quoted a price: "750 magic crystals."
The apprentices near him cast complicated looks, including envy, doubt, and ridicule, but mostly admiration... Although they didn't know who the person in VIP room No. 7 was, there was no doubt that the person who could enter Those in the VIP room are definitely either rich or noble, and there is a high possibility that they are official wizards.
David actually dared to bargain with an official wizard, how could others not admire him.
However, while admiring it, some people also whispered: "Son, I also have this magic sound box. Stop bidding. I will sell it to you for 300 magic crystals. How about it?"
"Don't listen to him. The most expensive Magic Crystal out there is just over 200. There's no need for you to bid. It's better to save some money and buy it yourself."
David also heard the advice from the people around him, but he was quite dissatisfied with what these people said. That is Angel's work, how can it be compared to the pirated goods on the bad street outside.
But some of what they said was correct.
David was also trembling with fear at this time. He didn't know why the people in the VIP room opposite were bidding with him, but he really didn't want to put Ingres's works up for auction here anymore. He always felt that the behavior of the ancient auction had insulted Angel, so he acted bravely and raised the price.
When the price reached 800 magic crystals, the surrounding voices became even more uproar.
Why does a magic sound box reach this price? This price can be squeezed into the mid-range auction at the monthly auction!
The buyers present discussed one after another, and began to have doubts and speculations about the guests in VIP Room No. 7.
Silen, who was standing on the stage, looked a little stunned at this moment, but there was also some undetectable joy in his heart. Before he auctioned the item, he was still doubting whether he had made a mistake in the appraisal. But now that the price was revealed, it was clear that his appraisal skills had not diminished. It was the head of the Sharon family who had made a wrong judgment.
Thinking of this, Silen also felt a little sad. The head of the Sharon family must be paying attention to this place. A music box that he thought cost 50 magic crystals has multiplied so many times. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face?
Unsure, the face of the head of the Sharon family has darkened now. Silen shook his head secretly. Fortunately, the bidder was Jellal. Even if the head of the Sharon family was angry again, he would not implicate this famous alchemist.
But thinking of Gerald, Silen also had doubts. Why did Gerald take this music box? Could it be that he came to this auction just for this music box?
Jellal, who was puzzled by Silen, was thinking secretly at this time.
Although there was a shielding mechanism on the stage, based on Jellal's experience, he could roughly guess all the materials of the music box by just observing the properties, performance, and color with his naked eyes. These materials were actually more than one advanced material.
This means that this is very likely to be an advanced alchemy work.
Jellal came to this auction for a broken album, but when he saw an advanced music box, spending a few hundred magic crystals to buy it was not a loss after thinking about it.
Moreover, he did not feel the aura of blending alchemy. It must be other alchemy techniques, whether it is alchemy of the genre or enchantment, he has not dabbled in it much, but he can study it by buying this music box.
But when the apprentice outside raised the price to 900 magic crystals, Jellal also hesitated.
He is not short of money, but he doesn't want to waste it either. It was just a research product, so there was no need to spend so much money to buy it, but...he was a little worried that an apprentice dared to bid against him.
"910 magic crystal." After Jellal made this quotation, David wanted to increase the price immediately, but before he could say anything, Jellal's voice came out again: "This is my last bid. If you want to increase the price, Haha, then I’ll leave this thing to you.”
Jellal's faint and powerful sneer spread throughout the auction hall.
David, who was originally prepared to bid, hesitated. Obviously, the person in the VIP room was angry. If he continued to bid, he would most likely offend the other party.
But if he didn't bid, he would feel really uncomfortable.
While David hesitated, Silen began to count down. Although he was very happy that the music box was sold at such a price, he also wanted to skip this lot quickly. Otherwise, the head of the Sharon family would be slapped in the face with every price, just once or twice. If he is very angry, it is likely that the person Sharon is implicated in will add his name.
David finally decided to give up the bidding. He had already felt from Jellal's words just now that the other party was definitely an official wizard. Faced with Jellal's power, he gave in.
But after David stopped bidding, someone in the VIP room interrupted Silen's countdown.
"Get up, I'm also very curious about this music box. The apprentice who bid just now, can you tell me why you are bidding?" The person speaking was Lianna. In fact, she always felt that the music box was a bit weird, but under the guidance of her friend Witch Tong, In his words, he gradually let go of his doubts.
But Jellal's sudden bid made her doubts rise again.
Liana was in no position to question Jellal, so she simply asked about the apprentice who had just participated in the auction.
David, who was questioned by the wizard, was a little hesitant and didn't know whether he should tell the truth.
But before David could say anything, a noise suddenly came from nowhere: "It seems that I saw that this music box was actually sent for photography by him himself."
As soon as this voice emerged, a wave of discussion immediately started.
This pushed David directly to the forefront of the storm, and even Jellal shouted sharply: "It turns out that you sent the auction yourself, so you are maliciously raising the price? Do you know what will happen to you if you offend me?"
Under everyone's scolding gazes and Jellal's questioning, David's feet began to tremble and his face suddenly turned pale.
David only felt that the moment he was closest to death in his life was probably at this moment. Even when Hercules took him into the abyss to find the blood of the armored demon hedgehog, he was not as frightened as he was now.
Silen on the stage looked at David's appearance and sighed slightly in his heart.
He knew very well that the sound that suddenly appeared, picked up the rhythm and then gradually disappeared was definitely the work of the head of the Sharon family.
Xi Lun sighed secretly. This kind of disclosure of the information of the bidder was actually against the rules of the auction. Fortunately, instead of revealing it openly, Sharon borrowed the words of others and pushed David to the point Wan Fu pointed out. At least, the authority of the ancient auction was maintained on the surface.
However, there were many people who could see clearly what was going on here, including Jellal. However, this matter itself was beneficial to him, so there was no need for him to point it out. Instead, he used the east wind to scold David.
David felt as if his heartbeat was about to stop for a moment.
He opened his mouth, his mind spinning rapidly, trying to find a way to break the situation.
Seeing that the power was getting stronger and stronger, under such circumstances, David suddenly shouted: "Yes, that is indeed what I sent for auction, but I am not bidding maliciously, I just want to get my things back."
As soon as David's words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
"It's meaningless for you to do this. Auctioning by yourself will only add trouble to the auction!" someone said.
"Everyone has seen that I increased the price from the beginning to the end, and I didn't even flinch when facing the distinguished wizard. Because I really regretted sending it to the auction, and now I really want to take it back." David simply said. To tell the truth, "I also know that it is against the rules to take pictures of my own things, and it will bring trouble to the auction, but someone has raised the price, so I can't give in."
If he lied, someone would probably catch him immediately. But what he said was the truth. There were many people here who knew how to detect the truth. After a little testing, they knew that what David said was true.
"If you really want to take the photo back, that's understandable. After all, you have the courage to face an official wizard, which shows that your determination is very sincere." A clear and calm voice came out, which was the one that came from Lianna's VIP room earlier. Yes, but the voice belongs to Witch Tong.
As a new wizard, Witch Tong actually has some thoughts that have not escaped the scope of apprenticeship. Therefore, she also understood some of David's actions, but his actions were indeed inappropriate. Not only will it offend bidders, but it will also cause trouble for the auction.
"Witch Tong is right, your determination to take the photo back is very sincere. However, I'm curious, why don't you want to sell it? Could it be that you have a grudge against Mr. Jellal?" The person who spoke was also a person. He was a wizard, but he was obviously someone who loved to stir up trouble, and he aimed his guns at Jellal in his words.
David quickly waved his hand: "That's not the case. I don't know Mr. Jellal because I don't want to..."
——I don’t want Angel’s works to be trampled upon by the ancient auction house.
David did not say these words because he saw Silen standing on the stage. His originally kind and gentle expression showed a cold light in his eyes when he spoke...
David swallowed back the reason and groaned.
Silen's cold expression slowly softened, but fortunately this guy wasn't too stupid.
But David has no reason, there are always people who love to stir up trouble and want to dig out the truth.
"You, what's the reason? Since you don't have any grudge against Mr. Jellal, could it be that... you have some discord with the Ancient Auction Society?"
At this time, Xi Lun interrupted everyone with an indifferent expression: "Why should we continue to argue? It is a waste of everyone's time. The person who sent the auction violated our rules, and the person who sent the auction has already signed a contract and delivered the auction. On stage, there is no room for regret, so we have to go through all the procedures."
"Your own bid is invalid. The first bid of Mr. Jellal is 200 magic crystals. If no one continues to bid, this item will belong to Mr. Jellal."
Silen concluded directly with a strong and domineering behavior.
After all, in the wizarding world where there are no legal regulations, the rules set by the auction house are the biggest. According to the rules of ancient auctions, when the lot is delivered to the stage, the person who sent it has no room for regrets, otherwise it will be embarrassing for the auctioneer.
If you bid in a low-key manner, bid back the money yourself, and pay the middle price difference and tax, they can turn a blind eye. But since David's identity as the sender of the photo has been exposed, he's sorry and has to follow the rules.
Xi Lun wanted to handle this matter forcefully, and the others were not willing to waste any more time. They all expressed their intention to finalize the matter quickly and move on to the next auction.
Xi Lun also shouted: "200 magic crystals for the second time, 200 magic crystals for the third time..."
David's eyes flashed with unwillingness, and he suddenly said: "This music box is the alchemical illusion refined by Angel!"
Silen paused and looked at the pulley in confusion, wondering what David was shouting about? Are you begging for mercy?
But before Silen could react, the light screen in front of him suddenly burst out with countless prices. There were also many apprentices below who raised their bidding signs at almost the same time, and they said they ranged from 300 magic crystals to 800 magic crystals. .
At the same time, an offer also appeared in the VIP room: "2000 magic crystals! I want it!"
