Chapter 32 Auction

The Land of Flowers receives some rare woods every year. Due to their extremely high prices, these woods are usually difficult to sell, so they are generally sold at large auctions.

The auction venue is in the open-air timber area on the south bank of the Land of Flowers.

When Ross and Robin arrived, a large number of people had gathered in the open-air timber area, most of them were merchants and nobles from various countries, and some pirates were also among them.

There are a large number of various types of wood on the site, and the most conspicuous one is undoubtedly a giant tree of about 40 meters. It is the branch of the treasure tree Adam. No matter its hardness or flexibility, it is in ordinary steel. on top!

"The branch of this precious tree Adam, shouldn't it be the one that built the Wanli Sunshine in the original book?"

Looking at the branch of the most conspicuous treasure tree Adam from a distance, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, but he still shook his head.

How can there be such a coincidence, not to mention that it is eleven years of the era of the great pirates.

After Ross retracted his gaze, he casually found a position on the edge to sit down.

soon.

The timber trade began. The person who hosted the auction came to the stage in a suit and introduced a five- or six-meter-long dark red wooden stake.

It was a trunk of crimson oak. Whether it was used to make tables, chairs or sofas, it was very luxurious. Rhodes was not interested in it, and calmly listened to the sparse bids of some nobles.

"Five million baileys once...five million baileys twice..."

"make a deal!"

The man in the suit in charge of the host dropped the hammer with a smile, and soon began to introduce the second piece of rare wood.

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed, and occasionally cherished boat trees appeared during this period, but no matter the size or quality, they were far less suitable than the branches of the treasure tree Adam, and Ross just glanced at them and then withdrew his gaze.

There are very few bidders who cherish boat wood compared to other furniture woods. Most nobles are not interested in boat wood.

finally.

The pieces of wood on the field were traded out piece by piece, and it was the turn of the piece to be placed at the back, the piece of wood that was dark red and exuded an ancient and time-honored aura.

"Finally...it's the highlight of today."

The man in the suit who was in charge of the host had been talking for several hours in a row, and he was a little tired, but at this time he forced his spirits up and waved to the last piece of wood.

"There is an island that has experienced countless wars. Although the island has been attacked by a hail of bullets, none of the inhabitants have been spared, and the city has been reduced to ruins, but a large tree has survived and stood majestically."

"There are only a few trees like this in the world, and the most powerful tree among them is called the Treasure Tree Adam! That's right! The ones placed here are the branches of the Treasure Tree Adam!"

"The starting price... 100 million Bailey!"

As the man in the suit shouted out the word 100 million Bailey with some hoarseness, the field was quiet, only a few discussions came, and no one immediately made a bid.

And the man in the suit who was hosting the show became a little anxious, worried that the branch of the treasure tree Adam would be unsold, and finally someone asked for the price.

"One hundred million Baileys."

It was a mustache businessman sitting in the front row, and only asked for a reserve price.

"One hundred and ten million."

Some people began to bid the price. Both of the bidders were businessmen, and they both felt that if the branches of this precious tree Adam were sold to the right people, it would probably be more than 100 million baileys.

Several merchants made scattered bids, and slowly the price of the branches of the treasure tree Adam was too high to 150 million Bailey.

This price has made many merchants flinch. The price is too high, and the risk of reselling is too great. If something goes wrong, it will not make much money at all.

"Two hundred million."

Rhodes finally made an offer.

The sudden increase from 150 million Bailey to 200 million Bailey shocked many aristocratic businessmen in the field. The price of 200 million Bailey was already too high for them to bear.

At the same time, some pirates who were eyeing the branches of the treasure tree Adam, but had no money and planned to snatch them halfway, also looked in the direction of the voice, wanting to see who called the price this time.

"It's that person..."

"Ghost hand Rhodes!"

When the eyes of some pirates fell on Ross, they were all shocked. Many pirates looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.

No matter what businessman or noble bought the branch of this treasure tree Adam, they all planned to snatch it halfway, but if Ross bought it, then this superb boat tree would have no chance for them.

Rob Rhodes?

joke!

The water on the west coast may still be bright red now!

Maybe someone dares to fight the Ghost Hand Pirates, but it's definitely not them.

In addition to the pirates, those businessmen and nobles did not recognize Ross directly, but after listening to the people around them, they quickly reacted, and their expressions were different for a while.

"That guy is a pirate, Ghost Hand Rhodes."

"Can pirates also come up with so much money?"

The price of 200 million Bailey is already a bit high, and the person who called the price, the ghost hand Rhodes, the big pirate with a fierce reputation in the West Sea, obviously has to think about it.

"...Ghost Hand Rhodes."

The man in the suit in charge of hosting also changed his face.

There are many pirates here, he knew it, but he didn't expect that the pirates would ask for 200 million to buy the branches of the treasure tree Adam. There are too many unstable factors.

However, when he thought that this was the official auction house of the Land of Flowers, and that the Seven Treasures Navy was in charge of everything, he felt a little more at ease.

In addition to the merchants, nobles and pirates, there are also some who have been staring at Ross from the beginning. Seeing Ross bidding for the branches of the treasure tree Adam, these people showed a bit of strangeness, quietly Indented behind the crowd and disappeared.

One second...two seconds...

Except for some low-pitched discussions, the field was always quiet, no one made another bid, whether it was a businessman or aristocrat.

"200 million Bailey, deal!"

The man in the suit who was in charge of the host shouted a few times, seeing that no one dared to fight with Rhodes, and finally took a deep breath and dropped the hammer.

At the same time as the hammer fell, the person in charge of the auction house immediately came to Ross, bowed to Ross and invited:

"Sir, please come here for delivery."

"it is good."

Ross stood up calmly and followed.

The Seven Treasure Marines of the Land of Flowers, who were in charge of the order of the auction house, were all very serious and vigilant in the face of Ross's arrival. Not too careless.

"200 million Bailey, count it."

Under Rhodes' suggestion, Robin opened the three boxes in the backcourt, quickly sorted out 200 million Baileys, and stacked them there.

The person in charge of the auction was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that Ross would really offer a price of 200 million Baileys, but when he thought that Ross seemed to have killed a large number of pirates these days, it was not enough to get so much money. Not surprisingly.

If you are willing to pay, then everything is easy to say.

The person in charge relaxed a lot, and with a smile on his face, he stepped forward and quickly counted the piled up Bailey.

"After the inventory, there is no problem. The branches of this precious tree Adam are yours."
