0613 Whip of God

Through the long and dark corridor, Lorraine and her group walked into the private room.

The auction venue is like a theater, but it saves the seats and pushes the huge echo wall directly in front of the three-row private room like Longmen Grottoes.

The balcony of the private room is equipped with an outer edge, and perhaps it is still inverted steps. In short, Lorraine cannot see the content of any room in front, back, left and right. The only stage is presented in front of us, and there is only a stage.

At this point, Lorraine probably thought that the bidder had already become numb to those little tricks to protect privacy, at least he was numb himself, and instead focused more on the decoration of the private room.

The decoration is very comfortable.

The dark tone is composed of heavy carpets and cotton wallpaper, which combines softness and sound insulation. The ornaments inside are not about luxury, whether they are sofas, bars or drinks and snacks. They focus on comfort and delicious food.

Lorraine increasingly felt that the Morgan Chamber of Commerce was a genius who sold experiences. She always knew the limits of her ability and always had a way to make people feel his dedication in the limits.

Cheap service is exchanged for high-quality enjoyment in their hands, and even if it is not at the top in any field, it is enough for people to find out the problem.

The clock in the private room jumped steadily until exactly ten o'clock. There was no bell ringing, and only a blonde woman in a bright red dress took to the stage.

She is very beautiful, with golden hair draped over her waist and back, her tall figure and a pair of plump long legs, which set off her broad but slender shoulders and arms, highlighting her plump breasts and buttocks.

In contrast, her facial features are mediocre, with big eyes, high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, delicate makeup, and ordinary beauty everywhere in the upper social circle, especially in opposition to her unusually popular figure, making it harder to leave an impression.

"Gentlemen, ladies, the 25th Shelter Villa Auction is about to begin." Her voice was soft and gentle, and the hidden undetectable tremolo seemed to touch people's hearts. "I am Susan Morgan's patriarch of the Morgan family. I sincerely thank you for your visit, and I hope Morgan can bring you an unforgettable two-day journey."

Lorraine heard the depressed exclaim.

Susan Morgan is the youngest patriarch in the Morgan family's century history and the first legendary matriarch.

It is said that she inherited her family business at the age of 12. In the following two years, a total of 7 relatives died unexpectedly, and at least 4 suitors were either dead or disabled.

She is the only common profiter of these accidents. It is through these accidents that she grasped the real power of this century-old family as quickly as possible. At the age of 14, she became the real Ms. Morgan.

As far as Lorraine knows, this should be about fourteen or five years ago. Looking at the years when she controlled the family, Ms. Morgan could only be regarded as a regular patriarch.

The Chamber of Commerce has not expanded and its business has limited growth. As a business-oriented family, the patriarch does not host the guild or the overall situation in the social circle.

She was not even married. Because of the tragic fate of several suitors when she was young, she was simply named "Diamond Black Widow". She seemed to have no intention of clarifying it, and the result was that she even delayed the mission of passing on the family line for the Morgan family.

Susan Morgan is such a strange woman, with all kinds of strange stories gathered in her, allowing her to easily gain popularity among topics about Lorraine in high-class social interactions.

However, Lorraine first heard of her ten years ago, and she heard about her countless times, but it was not until today that she saw her real person with her own eyes for the first time.

She stood in the middle of the stage and said, "As a host, I should have introduced you to the history of the Shelter Villa auction in concise words or chattering about the glory of the family like every person who is embraced by the ancestors... However, I know you have no interest in these."

"There are only one purpose for you to come from afar, that is, to get Xinyi's lots in your pocket. So let's talk short, I announce that the first game of the 25th Shelter Villa Auction will begin."

Sparse applause sounded, Susan bowed and left the stage, and the other end of the stage quickly walked up with the emcee wearing a swallowtail, standing firm on the mark of the stage.

"Gentlemen, ladies, I am Humphred, the escort of this auction. Now let's get the first lot, the Bleda Golden Knife."

"In 432 AD, the Hun tribes completed their unification under the expedition of Khan Ruga. Two years later, Ruga died and appointed God's Whip Attila and his brother Bleda to succeed the throne, and jointly proclaimed the emperor."

"Two years, that is, in 436, Bleda was framed by Attila and died in battle under the city of Constantinople. His golden sword and helmet became the treasure of the family of the Geraffe, the governor of the eastern Byzantine province, and he moved all the way to Genoa with the destruction of the Roman Empire."

"In 1466, the Jelafite family was destroyed by bandits, Bleda's golden helmet was lost, and the golden sword reappeared on the black market three years later."

"In 1522, the golden knife was officially named Bleda Golden Knife. In 1557, due to poor maintenance, the golden knife was undergoing a major repair, replacing the third and seventh gems of the hilt, and polishing the blade body, 2 grams of nickel and 17 grams of steel were incorporated. Although it generally maintained its original style, its collection value had dropped seriously."

"In 1646, the then owner, Mr. Beverles, hired the forging master Aguyes to build a scabbard for the golden knife, which increased its value again through luxurious materials and retro classic designs, and sold 5,500 gold in Paris in 1649 at the highest price of 5,500 gold."

"Then the No. 1 lot, the Golden Knife of the Hun Emperor Bleda, starts at 3,600 pounds, and an additional £150 per round. Please show your lights and quote!"

At this time, Lorraine's private room.

Lorraine looked at the list of lots boredly: "The highest price is 5,500 pounds, and the starting price is 3,600 pounds, which means that the value of this knife has declined in the past 140 years, right?"

Carmen explained on the side: "Augus became famous at a young age and became famous for his retroism when he was young. However, in his later years, he became one of the biggest opposition parties in retroism, and his early works were refuted and deprecated. This is probably the main reason for the decline in the value of the golden knife."

"Is the designer's denial?" Lorraine looked at Henna, "Golden Knife, are you interested?"

Henna scoffed: "The knife that has not been seen in 1200 years is not a murder weapon, but a toy."

"The introduction said that the maintenance was pretty good, but the gold content was too high and it was a bit overweight." Lorraine shrugged, "Adrey, yellow light."

Adray responded, picked up the baffle to cover the red light.

I heard the emcee say: "3750 pounds, No. 5, No. 6, No. 9, No. 12, No. 18, No. 27. The second round of lights..."

The progress of the secret shot is actually faster than that of the open shot. Under the command of the emcee, the second and third rounds.

Lorraine learned from the emcee that the box number and the dock number are not confused. For example, Lorraine is Pier 17, but the box is No. 9, and it is very likely that it will change every time she attends the meeting.

At the same time, the private rooms are not assigned in sequence. Lorraine knew that there were only 24 groups of attendees, but there were 30 private rooms, and there were also 27 people who bid for the Golden Knife.

From the perspective of Lao Sheng's re-talk, these measures are still for privacy, but from the perspective of maliciousness, as the only insider, the organizer, the Morgan Chamber of Commerce, can secretly allow bidders who are not within the invitation range to enter the venue, and invitees like Lorraine cannot be aware of it.

The auction entered the fourth round, with 4,200 pounds and 4 companies maintaining yellow lights. Lorraine waved her hands boredly, and Adeley immediately turned the baffle to yellow.

The emcee shouted on the stage: "4350 pounds, 6th, 18th, fifth round of lights!"

"Give up on the 18th! 4,500 pounds, 4,500 pounds on the 6th! Are there any other bidders?"

"The golden sword of the Hun Emperor Bleda, the blood brother of Attila's whip, the pilot token of the great empire, and the legendary antiquities that have been passed down for 1,400 years! Is there any higher bid?"

"No. 6, 4500 pounds! 4500 once, 4500 twice, 4500... sold!"

"Congratulations to the bidder in Box 6, the golden sword of the Hun Emperor Bleda, 4,500 pounds! It's yours!"
Chapter completed!
