Chapter 247 (1/2)

The auction went on steadily, but the eyes of those present were more and more strange.

There were hundreds of imperial nobles present, but none of them raised their cards.

Only Baron Donne from Ellington raised his cards frequently.

Does he want to show his financial strength deliberately and make a name for himself in Alex, or is he really optimistic about the future market of magic crystal?

But on second thought, they couldn't help laughing again.

Can the vision of a hillbilly Lord compare with that of grand duke Frank who has been in this business for decades?

Whose vision is more trustworthy, the answer is obvious.

As the auction went on, eight small mines and three medium-sized mines all went into Donne's pocket.

There are still two medium-sized mines and one large mine.

”The Arcelor magic crystal mine, which is located to the east of yarinks, is a medium-sized mine. The quality of magic crystal is quite high. Even compared with large mines, it is no less... The starting base price of Arcelor mine is 10 million gold coins!”

Ten million gold coins!

Everyone present couldn't help taking a breath of air-conditioning. Before, there were millions of gold coins. This time, it suddenly jumped to tens of millions. Even for them, 10 million gold coins may be their income for several years. This kind of business must be cautious again and again.

Will Baron Donne of Ellington continue to fight?

A group of people watched the change.

The venue was silent.

Charles looked forward to Donne, but Donne didn't raise his card at all. His face became a little pale.

In fact, those before were appetizers. The three mines behind, two medium-sized mines and one large mine are the really important big heads!

But Charles thought about it and understood why Donne didn't raise his cards.

Obviously he has no money.

In the previous auction, Donne has spent 20 million gold coins. Even if his Datang chamber of commerce is making money every day, even if he has rich background, it is impossible for Donne to make so much wealth in such a short time.

These 20 million gold coins are likely to be all his wealth.

But who else would be willing to buy if Donne didn't raise his cards?

Charles is in a hurry.

Frank is in a hurry, too.

Originally, he expected that Donne must have something to do with Victor, so he had a backhand for the magic crystal mine. He would certainly buy all the mines without hesitation, but now the really important mines have appeared, he stopped.

This made Frank feel that his judgment was wrong.

Did they not cooperate? Donne just wants to take the opportunity to get in?

”Ten million, ten million gold coins, no bid?”

Charles didn't give up. In order to sell as soon as possible, the price was very low. If it couldn't be sold, it would be a big joke.

After repeatedly bidding, when Charles desperately thought he was going to shoot, a clear voice suddenly sounded.

”Ten million.”

Charles was stunned and looked at Aurelia strangely.

”I said, ten million.”

Aurelia's voice was clear and sweet. She frowned when Charles stared at her: ”Marquis Charles?”

”... oh... Oh!”

Charles looked back and shouted in surprise, ”Princess aurelia, 10 million gold coins! Who else is bidding?”

Princess Aurelia!?

There was a commotion in the meeting place.

Frank's face sank slightly. How could she bid?

Aurelia will come. Frank just thought she appeared on behalf of the Royal attitude, but he didn't expect her to bid!

Is Victor crazy?

Frank doesn't think so. He must not be stupid to become an emperor and persist for so many years in the face of the overhead of aristocracy.

So, with a tight Treasury, he did not hesitate to save valuable military expenses, but also wanted Princess Aurelia to buy the mine. What was his intention?

What is missing? What information do you lack?

Why did Donne and Aurelia buy the mine?

”Princess aurelia, could you please answer our doubts?”

A noble couldn't help asking: ”we all know that the price of magic crystal is closely related to the city of silver. In the next days, the market will inevitably collapse. Now investing money is just floating. Why do you buy a mine at this moment? Does your majesty Victor know some insider information we don't know?”

His question made everyone present applaud!

Due to the question of identity, Aurelia had to answer his question positively, but could not avoid it. Moreover, his last question was very tricky and vicious, which pushed Victor's Royal faction to the opposite of the nobility at once.

Aurelia stood up unhurriedly and said faintly, ”you are the pillars of our Ilus empire. You have supported this country...”
