Chapter 346: Such a high bid just for this thing?

The person in charge of the auction house rushed over and was surprised to see the two dukes confronting each other.

After all, it was rare for the two most famous dukes of the Roman Empire to clash over an ordinary person.

However, even if it was strange, he had to step forward to mediate, otherwise once a fight broke out, the auction would probably end in a bad mood.

After strenuous persuasion from the person in charge, the two finally separated, but the Duke of Dark Night was still filled with resentment.

Looking at the two humiliated children, he had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

As one of the few powerful people in the realm of heaven and man in Rome, he had never suffered such humiliation, let alone it happened to his own child.

The other party's bullying behavior undoubtedly ignited his anger!

Moreover, he believed that he was slightly stronger than the Duke of Rose, so his hostility towards the Duke of Rose was even deeper. After all, people always look down on the weak.

He turned to the children and said firmly, "Don't worry, children. I have a plan to make those who hurt you pay the price. When the time comes, no matter what that person wants to buy, I will raise the price and let him see what he can get!"

The Duke of Darkness has full confidence in his wealth. As the duke with the largest territory in the Roman Empire, his wealth is immense.

Nothing in Rome could escape his control if he chose.

Regarding this incident, the Duke of Dark Night felt that he had a sure win.

This auction is quite interesting. After all, it has the support of the royal family, so the items being auctioned are naturally valuable.

The pearls, agates and other treasures displayed at the opening were not attractive in Ying Heng's eyes.

But this does not mean that they are of poor quality. On the contrary, if they are used in ordinary circumstances, the value of these treasures cannot be ignored.
The long auction progressed in boredom until two items caught his attention: one was a piece of plain soil, and the other was a round and translucent gem.

Let’s talk about the piece of soil first. As a land immortal, Ying Heng’s reaction to this thing was completely different from that of most of the dukes present.

When everyone saw the soil, they all laughed mockingly.

"No way, the Empire Auction House is actually selling soil. Are they so financially strapped that they think we are easy to fool?"

"Could this soil be dug from some king's cesspool? It's really ridiculous to use it for trading!"

After the laughter, the host quickly stabilized the situation. He looked at the dignitaries below seriously and said:

"This soil comes from a mysterious moving island, so we think it is of extraordinary value and decided to sell it. Of course, I also know that this explanation is difficult to convince people."

Then, the host took out the next lot and said:

"Although this soil looks ordinary, we are auctioning it together with another item."

He held up the additional treasure, a piece of jade.

"This is the stone we got from the island," he explained.

Seeing the jade, many people laughed contemptuously again.

"This thing is too insignificant, isn't it? How dare you bring it here and pretend it's a fine item for auction?"

"I think this kind of ordinary stone is worthless. Now I just have to wait and see who will take the bait."

Noticing the reactions of the people around him, Ying Heng was a little surprised. He had a different view on these items.

As a land immortal, he can sense the spiritual energy contained in these items.

Especially that piece of soil, he felt that there seemed to be magical seeds hidden inside, waiting to be discovered.

Perhaps, in the future, mysterious medicinal herbs could be cultivated from it, which would undoubtedly be a huge help to him!
As for jade, it may be difficult for Westerners to understand.

After all, jade does not have a gorgeous appearance and may even look ordinary.

But in the East, where people pay attention to charm, jade carries many meanings. Proper use can even change the trajectory of life. Ying Heng values ​​this jade because the mysterious charm contained in it is hidden.

He felt that the mysteries contained in the jade might bring new inspiration to his future cultivation.

Only he, who is at the level of a land immortal, can sense those Dao rhymes.

If you can integrate these Taoist rhymes into your body, perhaps it will produce unexpected results?

Ying Heng turned his gaze to the Rose Duke beside him and said in a deep voice: "You must help me win these, no matter what the cost!"

The Duke of Rose was a little surprised at first, after all, he did not expect Ying Heng to be interested in these items, but he could not disobey and nodded in agreement.

In addition to those agents, he can also drive up prices through bidding.

The Duke of Rose did not think that these items could be sold at sky-high prices. He had enough wealth to amount to hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, so it would be effortless for him to purchase these twenty-three items.

"No problem, leave it to me."

Then, he decisively raised the sign and announced his price, which attracted a wave of ridicule from all around.

"How could the Duke of Rose have such unique taste that he loves such simple things?"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if he is made a fool tonight. He has plenty of money anyway."

"Perhaps this duke is a stooge hired by the auction house. We just need to stand aside and see how they end up."

"Do you think someone might deliberately raise the price so high? It would be funny to see if the Duke of Rose can afford it."

Seeing the dukes' reactions, Ying Heng was satisfied.

It's a good thing that no one competes with him.

He didn't care about the comments of these dukes, after all, they were all weak.

However, just as he was thinking this, an inappropriate voice sounded from the side.

"I'll raise the price!"

Ying Heng looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that it was the Duke of Night.

The Duke of Night glanced at the Duke of Rose provocatively, as if he was deliberately confronting him, which made the Duke of Rose furious!

In an instant, the two of them started a fierce bidding war!

The price of the soil and jade was raised to a shocking one thousand taels of gold!
For any territory, this is almost equal to all taxes for half a year!
For the dukes present, this was undoubtedly an earthquake-level shock!
"No way, two dukes are bidding against each other for soil and stone?"

"How foolish! This is a demonstration to the other party. The loser will be inferior to others in the future!"

The two then pushed the price to an incredible high.

The dukes were stunned for a moment, because the Duke of Night had raised the price to 30,000 taels of gold!

This put a lot of pressure on the Duke of Rose, as his liquidity was far from that amount.

Seeing this, Ying Heng waved his hand to signal Rose Duke that he didn't need to raise the price any further.

So, the Duke of Rose had no choice but to put down the sign.

Those items naturally fell into the hands of the Duke of Night.

At this moment, the victorious Duke of Night was like a victorious lion, holding his head high and showing off his mustache to everyone!

This made the Duke of Rose feel deeply ashamed. He felt extremely humiliated for failing to fulfill Ying Heng's instructions.
