Chapter 291 (2/2)
As soon as this man called the price, another person with a southern accent raised it to one and a half million
Then the lance at one of the box roo Du Wei, the direction of the merchant's eye was aimed at Taklanshan and Biliaibuer's VIP box
Du Wei was just frowning when a sudden knock ca ato the servant's word: This thing cannot be bought by an outsiderAs courtiers of the regent, it's only natural that ould help elevate his problemsWe've contacted several other elites of the capital and have conjoined together to take down this thingThe decree cannot fall into the Temple's hand and we cannot let them make news out of this event”
Du Wei noddedIt seeent and the fact that the decree has already been taken awayFor thee over at thistheir positionAfter all, Du Wei's status right noas the highest a everyone so it's only natural they would ask for his opinion
Conte inside, Du Wei understands this was their way of showing loyalty to Prince Son, and also a way to show their position ith hih and softly said: “Two million”
This call from Du Wei may not be loud, but his words were as clear as day when it drifted down from the upper floorMeanwhile, Earl Biliaibuer and Count Taklanshan were both gazing at hi into a smile as they nodded
Then Taklanshan also sent another person over, stating: “If Duke's going to make a move then they will not butt inIf there's any lack of fund, they be willing to lend their support if needed”
What a good TaklanshanFroured out there's a secret order froh
As soon as his two million call came out, another man with a southern accent immediately raised it to two and a halfThey know, the true bidding as about to begin now!
Who doesn't know Du Wei's identity? If it was a si, no one would want to continue the bidding ith himIt's not athe Duke some face
But these southerners see Du Wei any faceAt that, Du Wei was even more certain these southerners are the TeHave the Pope write up this order then have so so outlandish, thecan only be very deep
After all, the Pope hi over the baptism and will serve as the intended child's GodfatherThis would be tanta the royal authorityAnd, this sort of commitment can't be done so casually, thus the need for the excuse of raising funds for the disasterWhat a high sound reasoning they are giving!
And the second step was the key, which person will be landed with this commitment?!
Let's assume…… If, just if, this falls into an ambitious man with power, then this would mean this ambitious man would receive the same treatment as the royal family!
The most subtle part of this was, “the Pope's personal baptisitimacy for the throne! Without this sacred halo, you can't be recognized as the ruler!!
If the Tee of the royal family, then the most effective ould be to find ways to have their own people buy this thing back, and then deliberately arrange for a lowly vulgar rich man to accept the Pope's baptisar upstart can so casually receive the saitier see deeper… Let's say a certain ambitious aard froet the Pope personal baptism, then it's inevitable that others would think: wouldn't they also have divine legitimacy for the throne?
Once opened, such association would be very dangerous!
Du Wei sighed …
In less than a tea's cup worth of ti price has shot up to fivein pain for hisany co must be handed over to the Teht old coins, the voices finally died down froood, but Du Wei's heart felt uneasy for some reason… It's this simple? Isn't it too easy to destroy the Teht didn't even have time to process when a crisp and melodious voice of a woman came from the main doorway of the auction house
“I'm sorry to have disturbed everyoneI know it's very iive me” The voice was delicate and pleasant to the earOddly though, there's a sense of sacredness to it that wasn't quite right
The voice didn't even die down yet when thein, a tall yet sli white dress of the Teh the door
As she stood there at the doorway, all she needed to do eep through the audience with her gaze to attract everyone's attentionThe wo, with traces of purity only found in the followers of the faith, but unlike the usual clergies, she had an air of a nobleness only found in sonize who this was for that voice sounded very fahter of the late crown prince, the holy maiden of the Temple!
This holy maiden princess may have covered the bottom half of her face with a white veil, but her eyes were crisp and sharpWith every graceful step she took, her body exuded a powerful form of temptation and allure, yet at the sa
