Chapter 32: auction

The country of flowers receives some cherished wood every year. These woods are very expensive and often difficult to sell, so they are generally concentrated on large auctions.
The auction site is located in the open-air timber area on the south bank of the country of flowers.
When Rhodes and Robin arrived, the open-air timber area had gathered a large number of people, most of whom were merchant aristocrats from various countries, and some of them were mixed in.
There are a large number of various types of wood placed on the site, the most conspicuous of which is undoubtedly a giant wood of about forty meters. It is the branch of Baoshu Adam, no matter the hardness or flexibility, it is in the general steel. Above!
"The branch of Adam, the treasure tree, should not be the one that built the Wanli Sunshine in the original book."
Looking far away from the branch of Adam, the most conspicuous treasure tree, he flashed a suspicion in his eyes, but he shook his head.
There are such wonderful things, not to mention the eleven years of the thief era.
After Lodz regained his gaze, he found a position at the edge and sat down.
Soon.
The trade in timber began, and the auctioneer took the suit and walked onto the stage, first introducing a five- or six-meter-long crimson wooden stake.
It is a trunk of the blushing oak. Whether it is used to make tables or chairs or sofas, it is very luxurious. Rhodes is not interested in this. He listens calmly to the price of some nobles who are sparse.
"Five million Baileys once... five million Baileys twice..."
"Complete!"
The man in charge of the suit, who smiled and smiled, dropped the hammer and soon began to introduce the second rare piece of wood.
In a twinkling of an eye, two hours passed, and occasionally there were cherished ships, but no matter how big or small, the quality was not as good as that of the treasure tree Adam. Rhodes only took a few eyes to regain his gaze.
Cherish the price of the ship, compared to the furniture wood is very few, most of the nobles are not interested in the boat.
at last.
The wood on the field was traded piece by piece, and it was round to the last side. The material was dark red and exudes the old wood.
"Finally... it’s the turn of today’s turn."
The man in charge of the suit said for a few hours in a row, and he was a little tired, but at this time he was forced to cheer up and wave his finger to the last piece of wood.
"There is an island that has experienced countless wars. Even though the island was attacked by bullets and rain, the residents were spared, and the city was turned into ruins. But a big tree survived and stood tall."
"There are only a few such trees in the world, and the most powerful tree is called Baoshu Adam! It's right! The ones placed here are the branches of Baoshu Adam!"
"The starting price...100 million Bailey!"
As the suit man screamed out the word 100 million Bailey, the field was quiet, only a few arguments came, and no one immediately spoke.
The man in the suit who was presiding was a little anxious, worried that the branches of the tree would be spurred, and finally someone asked for the price.
"100 million Bailey."
It was a singular businessman sitting in the front row and only called a reserve price.
"110 million."
Some people started to bid, and both of them were merchants. They all thought that the branches of this treasure tree Adam were sold in the hands of the right people, and most of them were more than 100 million Bailey.
The price of several merchants scattered and scattered, slowly the price of the branches of Baoshu Adam was too high to 150 million Bailey.
This price has already caused many businessmen to retreat. The price is too high, and the risk of reselling is too great. In the event of any mistakes, they will not earn much.
"200 million."
Rhodes finally asked for a price.
Suddenly, from 150 million Bailey to 200 million Bailey, the aristocratic merchants in the field were a little shocked. The price of 200 million Bailey is too high for them to bear.
At the same time, some pirates who stared at the treasure tree, but did not have the money, and planned to the road, also looked in the direction of the voice, want to see who is calling this price.
"It is that person..."
"Ghost Hand Rhodes!"
When some of the pirates' eyes fell on Rhodes, they were shocked. Many pirates looked at each other and saw the fear in the other's eyes.
No matter what merchants and nobles bought the branches of this treasure tree Adam, they all planned to go halfway to it, but if Rhodes bought it, then the best ship of the ship would not be with them.
Robbing Rhodes?
Just kidding!
The water on the west coast is still bright red now!
Some people dare to start with the Ghosts and Pirates, but they are definitely not them.
In addition to the pirates, those merchants and nobles did not directly recognize Rhodes, but when they heard the people around them, they quickly reacted and looked different.
"That guy is a pirate, Ghost Hand Rhodes."
"Can pirates come up with so much money?"
The price of 200 million Bailey is already a bit high in itself, and the price of the man, Luoz, is a thief who screams in the West Sea. Obviously, I have to think about it.
"...Ghost Hand Rhodes."
The man in charge of the suit, the face changed.
There are a lot of pirates here, he knows, but I didn't expect the pirates to ask for 200 million to buy the branches of Baoshu Adam. There are too many unstable factors.
However, at the thought of this is the official auction house of the country of flowers, all matters are handled by the Qibao Shuijun, he is also relieved ~EbookFREE.me~ and in addition to the merchant aristocrats and pirates, there are still some from the dark At the beginning, I kept staring at Rhodes's eyes and saw that Rhodes was bidding for the branches of Baoshu Adam. These people all showed a few different colors and quietly retracted into the crowd and disappeared.
One second...two seconds...
In addition to some low-profile comments, the field remained quiet, no matter whether it was a businessman or a nobleman, no one bids again.
"Two hundred million Bailey, deal!"
The man in charge of the suit shouted a few times, seeing no one dared to compete with Rhodes, and finally took a deep breath, or dropped the hammer.
At the same time as the hammer fell, the responsible person of the auction site immediately came to Rhodes and invited to Rhodes:
"Sir, please come here to deliver."
"it is good."
Rhodes stood up calmly and followed.
The Qibao Shuijun, the country responsible for the order of the auction house, wearing special costumes, is also very serious and vigilant in the face of Rhodes’s arrival. All of them hold weapons, obviously for the extremely evil existence of the West Sea in Rhodes. I don't dare to care.
"Two hundred million Bailey, check it out."
Under Rhodes's instructions, Robin opened three boxes in the backcourt and quickly sorted out 200 million Baileys and piled them there.
The person in charge of the auction was a little bit stunned. I didn’t expect Rhodes to actually pay the price of 200 million Bailey. But when I thought of Rhodes, it seemed like I had destroyed a lot of pirates these days, and I got so much money. Not surprisingly.
Since I am willing to pay, everything is fine.
The person in charge relaxed a lot, and his face smiled. He came forward and quickly counted the pile of Bailey.
"The count is over, no problem, the branch of this treasure tree Adam is yours."
