Above the Pirate King

Chapter 183 Auction

"Welcome all honorable kings and queens to our auction house!" The blond man on the stage saluted, and then he introduced himself, "I am the auctioneer for this auction, Steven. Palmer!"

His voice echoed throughout the auction house, but there was no response!
This time, all the kings and queens who came to participate were sitting in the boxes on the second floor. Obviously, no one would respond to him!

However, Palmer had expected this for a long time, smiled slightly, and continued, "Then, without further ado, the auction will officially begin!"

He knew that all the people sitting here were kings and queens, but no one was willing to listen to his nonsense, and the most important thing was to get to the point quickly!
"First of all, let's invite our first auction item!" Palmer said loudly.

Afterwards, four waiters came out from behind the table carrying a transparent glass box. Inside the glass box was a snow-white gauze dress with a long skirt inlaid with various brilliant diamonds.

The waiter first carried the glass box around and showed it around before placing the glass box in the middle of the table!

"This dress is called Guardian of the Stars. It was designed by the well-known fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. It is inlaid with 99 dazzling diamonds. Wearing it is like being surrounded by diamonds and stars. That's why it's called Guardian of the Stars! And the most important thing is "

As he spoke, Palmer opened the glass case, and then took out a pistol from his pocket, loaded and loaded it in one go.

"boom!"

A shot hit the dress directly!

Dress, unscathed!
"Its gauze skirt is made of special composite materials. Even if it is hit by a musket on the spot, it will not be damaged at all. At the same time, it is also fireproof and waterproof!"

"The starting price is 100 Baileys!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle female voice sounded from the third box, "200 million!"

Hearing this, Palmer's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly, "Queen Joanna of Si'an'er Kingdom in the third box offers 200 million yuan!"

It can be seen that he has done a certain amount of work, and the people in each box should be very clear, so they can immediately tell the name of the king or queen of the kingdom to which the box belongs.

Moreover, his auction skills are also very high, and he didn't use any violent language, but just pointed out the identity of the person in the box between words!
It would be useless in an ordinary auction, but it is different in the special auction for the king. These kings and queens have more or less enemies.

As long as he points out the king or queen of the kingdom to which the box belongs, without him raising the price, the enemies of these kings and queens will help him raise the price!
After all, as long as you let the enemy suffer, it is a matter of physical and mental pleasure!

Then came the sound of quotations.

"250 million!"

"300 million!"

"400 million!"

Most of the voices were the queens of several kingdoms. It can be seen that these queens like this dress very much!
Inside box ten.

Looking at the dress below, Arthur thought about it, and directly quoted, "1000 million!"

"Brother Arthur, who are you?" Cobra asked puzzled.

It was a woman's dress. It was no surprise that several queens were vying for him, but Arthur's bid was beyond his expectations.

"I'm going to buy it for my wife. I think she will be beautiful when she wears this dress!" Arthur said with a smile.

"Oh!" Cobra suddenly realized, and then he had a thought, thinking to himself, "How about buying one for Titi? Well, it's decided like this! However, this one will be given to Brother Arthur first, and if later If you have one, buy it!"

on the auction block
After Palmer heard it, he immediately said, "Box No. 1000, King Arthur of St. Martin's Kingdom bids [-] million!"

"Ten thousand and one million!" The voice came from the third box again.

"2000 million!" Arthur said lightly.

He came out this time, because it was a state visit and exchange, so the treasury paid out 20 billion Baileys, and he himself took 30 billion pocket money from the royal family, plus Queen Tiversy's one billion ransom, a total of 60 billion Baileys.

Although it took a while on the road, there are still 59 billion Baileys left.

It’s not that he’s bragging, looking at the whole audience, there is absolutely no king who can lead as much as him, and it’s not bad if the most can have one-third of him!

As soon as he finished quoting the price, Palmer immediately shouted, "Box No. 2000, His Majesty Arthur, [-] million!"

After waiting for a while, no one made any more offers, so Palmer shouted, "2000 million for the first time!"

After a while, still no offer, Palmer continued to shout, "2000 million for the second time!"

Just as Palmer was about to yell for the third time, Box 100 yelled again, "Twenty-one million!"

"Alright, Box No. 100, Queen Joanna, [-] million!" Palmer said loudly.

"3000 million!" Arthur shouted lightly.

"Box No. 3000, His Majesty Arthur [-] million!"

"3000 million for the first time!"

"3000 million, the second time!"

"3000 million, the third time!"

"3000 million, into"

Just when it was time to close the deal, a resentful voice came from the fifth box, "3000 million and one Bailey!"

"Uh, King Varta of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom in Box No. [-] offered [-] Baileys!" Palmer was a little surprised when he heard the offer, but he was also a little happy, because he could hear the gunpowder in Varta's words!
The smell of gunpowder means that it will definitely sell for a high price!
After hearing Palmer's words, Arthur suddenly understood that it was Varta!

"4000 million!" Arthur silently quoted.

"4000 million Baileys!"

"5000 million!"

"5000 million Baileys!"

Listening to the quotations of the two, Cobra couldn't sit still. The price is definitely beyond the price of the item itself. It must be a disadvantage to buy it. Arthur is his brother, how can he let his brother suffer? ?
But he didn't rush to dissuade Arthur, but was going to ask the ins and outs of the matter first!
"Brother Arthur, do you have any enmity with this Varta?" Cobra asked puzzled.

You know, one of the two is in the West Sea and the other is in the Great Waterway. If they hadn't participated in the World Conference, they might never have met each other in their lifetime. How could they become enemies?

"Enmity? No!" Arthur said with an innocent look on his face,

"Then what have you guys been up to lately?" Seeing this, Cobra thought that Arthur really didn't know, so he changed the question to see if Arthur had offended Varta without knowing it!

"Yes!" Arthur nodded bluntly, and said, "Speaking of which, I still want to thank him. When I passed by the Drum Kingdom, I stopped by the Drum Kingdom!"

"Because the doctors in Magnetic Drum Kingdom are very famous, I proposed to their kingdom to recruit some doctors, and his subordinates readily agreed to come after asking him, and then I recruited doctors and left! "

"Doctor!?" Hearing this, Cobra was still confused, so he continued to ask, "How did you recruit?"

"I asked my hands to come to the door to inquire, as long as they are willing, they can come with us, and those who don't want to forget it!" Arthur explained.Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and said a little uncertainly, "Oh, by the way, maybe he is willing to go with us more, that's why he is like this!"

After listening, Cobra couldn't help but feel sorry for Arthur.

You, the king of Varta, have agreed to others, even if they recruit a little more, there is no need to be so stingy?

The Drum Kingdom is not far from Alabasta, and they are still on the same waterway. Naturally, Cobra knows the Drum Kingdom. He probably knows too.

In Cobra’s eyes, even if Arthur recruits a little more, they won’t go there, especially those who are willing to leave the kingdom to live in other kingdoms in a country like the Drum Kingdom without any wars. Very few.

It would be great if Arthur could recruit dozens of doctors. Compared with the [-] doctors in the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, it's not a drop in the bucket, but there really aren't many!

After thinking for a while, Cobra shouted to Varta in the fifth box, "Your Majesty Varta, is my brother just recruiting some doctors in your kingdom? You shouldn't be so angry, right? Besides, you allowed it." , the doctor is also voluntary!"

Hearing this, Varta in box No. 900 felt a burst of anger rushing to his head, and he growled angrily, "Is that some? Tell me, among the [-] doctors, more than [-] doctors were recruited , and took away one-tenth of the one hundred thousand citizens of our kingdom, can you tell me that is some?"

Suddenly, the audience fell into a strange silence!
