Twilight War

04

The curtain fell, the opera was over, and the smug Fool bowed and stepped back.

But the number of people on the seats did not decrease, and even gradually increased.

The auction starts late at night.

Everyone has a booklet in their hands, which records the information of the jewelry in this auction.

Mrs. Violet took a few glances and handed the brochure to Xia Zuo who was behind her.

Most of the things in the auction have unknown origins, and many of them are stolen goods. Maybe even the auctioneer himself doesn't know what the price of the things is.

There were some misses in this auction, but there were also quite a few people who were deceived into buying worthless items.

Not long after the auction started, a lot of things had already been auctioned off, and Mrs. Violet also took a few pieces.Xia Zuo behind her would whisper something in her ear from time to time.

Women are always calm, dignified and elegant.

Huang Xuanjin held the bone fan in his hand and looked around the ring-shaped hall of the auction, but he kept looking at Madam Violet from the corner of his eye.

Once you come here, you can't return empty-handed.If tonight passed like this, then in the eyes of Mrs. Violet, he was just someone who followed the black widow.

The curtain on the auction stage was ripped open, revealing a string of Baroque pearl necklaces.

Baroque pearls were not very valuable, but King Louis preferred Baroque pearls when he was alive, so the price of this item was inflated, but now that Isabel came to the throne, the price has gradually dropped.

"I like this string of pearls." He tilted his head and looked at the baroque pearls on the auction stage.

His eyes looked at the string of pearls, and he didn't seem to be talking to anyone.

"You like the string of pearls." Lady Violet looked back at him, her brown hair falling from her ears.

"Yeah." Huang Xuanjin nodded, "but it's a bit extravagant for me." There was a smile on his lips, and the end of his peach blossom eyes were slightly curved.

Mrs. Violet raised her hand and raised her card.

"One hundred silver coins."

This price is a suitable price for this string of baroque pearls, only slightly higher than the market price, and now that baroque pearls continue to drop, no one should raise their cards anymore.

The auctioneer quoted two prices, "One hundred silver coins twice."

Huang Xuanjin lowered his head and kissed the sapphire tail ring on Mrs. Violet's little finger, his posture was as devout as a believer kissing a bishop's ring, teaching people not to have evil desires.

Then he looked up at Mrs. Violet, his eyes reflected the bright lights of the entire auction hall, with a smile on his lips.

In an instant, he was no longer a believer, but all kinds of people in the world.

"Thank you ma'am."

"150 silver coins."

The silver-haired man in the auction hall suddenly raised his sign.

Huang Xuanjin heard the familiar voice behind him, and immediately began to scold her in his heart.

He has already thanked Mrs. Violet. He would be unhappy if his things were taken away by others at this time.

Mrs. Violet didn't pay much attention, and directly raised the sign again, "170."

Wischpel raised his sign indifferently, "250."

When Mrs. Violet was about to raise the placard, Xia Zuo whispered a few words in her ear.The price is too high for a string of baroque pearl pendants.

Baroque pearls are inherently incomplete. Deformed pearls are precious if someone likes them, and worthless if no one likes them.

"It's okay, as long as you like it." The woman smiled lightly and held up her card again, "Three hundred."

"five hundred."

Vesper raised his sign.

The entire auction house was in an uproar. Baroque pearls are no different than others, and there is no possibility of missing them.Most of them can only be sold at a high price by relying on ingenuity and ingenuity.

Buying a string of Baroque pearls at this price can only be done with money.

Mrs. Violet also lowered her head, a little hesitantly, her brown hair drooping.

Xia Zuo also coughed, "Ma'am."

She smiled and wanted to raise the placard but was suppressed by Huang Xuanjin with the bone fan.

"Ma'am, everything should have its own price, if it is too much, it will be damaged." Huang Xuanjin tilted his head and looked at her, his eyes were brightly lit, "There are better things in the future..."

"Didn't you say you like this? Why don't you want it anymore." Mrs. Violet looked into Huang Xuanjin's eyes and said.

"But people like us have to put it on the scale even if we like it, and weigh it a few times." Huang Xuanjin lowered his head and smiled, and he looked towards the huge hall, "Ma'am, gold, jade, glazed rainbow dreams, good things in the world are mostly like floating clouds."

"This baroque pearl belongs to this gentleman at a price of five hundred silver coins." The auctioneer shouted as he dropped the hammer.

"This string of necklaces is for the young master over there." Wisipel suddenly raised his hand and said, the light in the hall fell on the place where Wisipel's fingertips were pointing at the right time, and everyone looked at the falling light and sat sideways teenager.

The boy was talking sideways to the woman beside him, with a black peony painted on his profile, and a spider web brooch of Paradise Lost pinned to his chest.

So everyone understood that this boy was from the Black Widow shop.

Feeling the sudden light, Huang Xuanjin squinted his eyes and turned to look at the crowd.

Like a disturbed young panther.The light returned to the center of the hall again, and the auctioneer started the next auction, and the boy's figure was once again in the dimness.

"It seems that the good things you like have already been given to you." Mrs. Violet said with a smile.

Huang Xuanjin was so angry that he jumped up and down, and he almost wanted to rush to Vichypel and ask him if he came to smash the stage.

But he still turned his head to look at Madam Violet, "Then what is Madam's glass rainbow dream?"

His gaze is like that of a passionate prodigal son or that of a down-and-out nobleman.

Mrs. Violet glanced at the boy, and held up the sign again, "Five hundred".

Huang Xuanjin looked at the auction table, it was a purple gemstone collar button.

That piece of gemstone is not very big, but its color is clear.

"One thousand." Wihipel raised his sign again.

"One thousand and one." Madam Violet immediately raised her sign.

Well, the two of them competed again.Huang Xuanjin leaned on his head and looked at the two of them back and forth.

Xia Zuo lowered his body and whispered in Mrs. Violet's ear, advising Mrs. Violet to be cautious.

"Twice in 2000." The auctioneer shouted loudly.

"Two thousand and three times!"

"This purple gemstone collar button was auctioned to Mrs. Violet for two thousand!"

Mrs. Violet was a regular customer of the underground auction house on Ninth Street in the black market. The auctioneer knew that she didn't care what others knew about what she had auctioned, so she called out her name directly.

"All the photos I took tonight will be given to the young master beside me." Mrs. Violet said suddenly.

So all the lights fell on Huangxuanjin again.

Huang Xuanjin, who was idle and bored and wanted to steal a piece of candy from his pocket to eat, raised his head in confusion, the glass candy in his hand fell to the ground in panic and scattered like glass beads. down the steps.

"They say that purple gems are the tears of sirens." Mrs. Violet bent down and picked up two pieces of glass candy from the ground, put one in the palm of Huangxuan Jin who was still in shock, and peeled off the other piece. The candy wrappers ate by themselves.

"I remember that there used to be Queen's Street next to my house, and many children there liked it." Mrs. Violet flipped the candy wrapper between her fingertips and said.

After she finished speaking, she raised her placard again.

Tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night, tonight is destined to leave a miracle in the entire black market Nine Streets!

Tonight, a young man next to the black widow appeared for the first time on the black market Ninth Street, and was sought after by two rich men, and received a gift worth hundreds of thousands of silver coins overnight.

From tonight, the red-light district of Black Market Ninth Street is more prosperous than before. Countless beautiful teenagers devoted their youth to this street. They created the prosperity of male sex in Isabel's era, but no one can match the legend created by that teenager.

No one even knew his name. Later, some troublemakers went to the Black Widow's Lost Paradise to see the young man, but all he got was the Black Widow's head shaking and silence, and at most one more sentence—it's a pity.

But at this moment Huangxuanjin had already started to be in a daze of boredom.

The war between Mrs. Violet and Vichypel started because of him, but it has nothing to do with him. It is clear that their self-esteem is still at work when the two raise their cards again and again.

He seemed to see the cartloads of banknotes being pushed into the incinerator as the two people raised their cards again and again, and then burned to ashes with a bang.

Why not just give him the cash!

He is not the evil dragon in the knight novels, who wants to sleep with gold coins and precious stones on his pillow.

"Little Jhin, think about it, why don't you come to work in my shop directly after tonight." The black widow took advantage of Mrs. Violet and Vichypel's happy placards, and sneaked over to ask Huangxuan Jhin .

Huang Xuanjin leaned on his chin and glanced at the Black Widow.

"Really, the price is negotiable, we split the bill four to six." The black widow hid her face behind the fan and said.

Huang Xuanjin quickly shook his head.

"Is it so decisive?"

"Three to seven, seven to me, three to you." Huang Xuanjin said resolutely.

The auction is drawing to a close, and the last auction item is a gold pendant.

When the auctioneer auctioned this piece of gold, he hesitated and said vaguely, "Everyone, I have to tell you when I auction this gold pendant. In fact, we are not sure whether this pendant is gold."

The auditorium in the auction hall was a little commotion, as if everyone was discussing one after another, and some of them laughed mockingly.

The auctioneer directly put the gold pendant in the wine glass, but the gold pendant actually floated on the water.

"As you can see, the density of this pendant is lower than that of wine, but we can guarantee that this pendant is completely solid, and the material of this pendant is completely pure without adulteration Any other metal. It’s just that we don’t know the real material of this pendant. The material of this pendant is very close to gold in every respect, but the density is much lower than gold.”

"So I hope that everyone will be cautious when taking pictures of this jewelry. As we all know, the auction on the black market Ninth Street will never return the goods."

"Next, let's start the auction." Everyone's eyes fell on Vichypel and Mrs. Violet unconsciously. After all, these two people have already spent hundreds of thousands of silver coins tonight. Who knows what these two people will do , Maybe she really became a beauty in a rage.

Xia Zuo beside Mrs. Violet whispered a few words behind her ear, and Mrs. Violet nodded, holding the sign in her hand and not raising it for a long time.

The arena was quiet.

"one thousand."

The silver-haired man raised a sign.

After Wichpel raised his sign, everyone was still suspicious, but there were a few people who followed suit.Without Mrs. Violet, Vichypel felt a lot easier, and won the gold pendant at a price of five thousand silver coins.

"It's the finale." The Black Widow whispered next to Huangxuan Jin.

The boy tilted his body and looked up to see the woman in the water-blue dress holding the last auction item.

The red velvet was torn apart, and it was a violet plant raised in water.

"That... what is it?" Huang Xuanjin frowned, he really couldn't tell what kind of rare gem or precious metal this violet was.

"It's just a freshly picked violet." The black widow said, "The starting price for the last violet on Black Market Ninth Street is [-] silver coins."

"Who would spend so much money to buy an ordinary violet that will wither." Huang Xuanjin wondered if these rich people really had the money to burn it.

"In the event that no one bids, this violet will be given to the person who spends the most money tonight. In fact, this violet has always been given out like this. Until 20 years ago, Mrs. Violet participated in the auction for the first time. At the auction on Black Market Ninth Street, he didn't take any pictures for the whole night. At the end of the auction, she bought this violet with [-] silver coins and gave it to a male companion beside her. She was the first one to take pictures. The one who planted this violet, she was called Mrs. Violet from then on."

——You are willing to exchange a thousand pieces of gold for a violet that will wither, and give it to your boy.

"If there are no accidents tonight, these violets belong to His Highness." The black widow said with a smile.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Violet directly raised her card.

"Fifty thousand silver coins." The woman said, just like 20 years ago, she was still a girl who came here for the first time and bought the violet that would wither and wither for [-] silver coins.

"Okay, I forgot that this silly woman is here tonight." The black widow said helplessly.

"One hundred thousand."

Wischpel held up a sign and said.

"It seems that there are two fools here tonight." The black widow smiled and sighed.
