Chapter 584 Auction (3) Becoming the Richest Man
Up to now, Chonglou’s gains at the auction have reached an astronomical figure. The dozen or so pieces of gold, silver, pearls and jade provided by Bai Hao were basically sold for seven-digit prices, but the most expensive item was his light golden hairpin.
The transaction price of 1.43 million gold coins is really hard to surpass. It is also the highest transaction price in the history of the Champs Elysees Auction House, and it is almost the entire assets of an upper-middle-class demon noble in the Magic City.
Of course, Bai Hao's hairpin is definitely worth the price. Whether it is the rich atmosphere of faith or the exquisite workmanship, it can definitely become a family heirloom of a top demon noble, and can even cultivate countless demon lords.
If there are members of the clan who have extraordinary talents, it is not a bad idea for them to use Bai Hao's hairpin to break through and become an original demon, thereby fundamentally improving the family's strength. As long as the family is strong enough, it is only a matter of time before they earn back the 1.43 million gold coins.
Bai Hao's hairpin was bought by a second-level original demon. Although those small nobles could definitely offer a price of more than 1.43 million gold coins if they united, it was obvious that without a demon king in the family, it was impossible to protect this treasure and it would be snatched away sooner or later.
The same was true for the other dozen or so pieces of gold, silver, pearls and jade that Bai Hao provided. They were either bought by the Demon King himself or by the demon nobles who had the support of the Demon King. In any case, these top treasures would never be possessed by demons below the Demon King.
The Champs Elysees Auction House is Shebill's family business. In order to befriend Kenquier, the character played by Chonglou, Shebill did not charge any auction fees. Chonglou would get as many gold coins as the transaction price of the gold, silver, pearls and jade.
When a ring on Liu Jianguo's left thumb was auctioned off, all the gold, silver, pearls and jade provided by Bai Hao had been snatched away. Bai Hao made a simple calculation and quickly figured out the gold coin income so far.
The total is 24,237,000 gold coins!
With just one auction, Chonglou transformed himself from a poor boy with heavy debts into the undisputed richest man in Magic City!
Bai Hao does not live in the Demon City. These gold coins are just a string of numbers to him. They are the operating funds of the Demon Hunting Bureau in the Demon World. Therefore, he just told Chonglou about this string of numbers calmly.
“Master, Master, Master! I have never seen so much money. Even during the heyday of my Nangong family, we couldn’t even produce one tenth of it. The speed at which you make money is so fast that it makes the devil shudder. If these gold coins were piled into a small mountain, I wonder if it would be taller than the tallest building in the Magic City…”
Bai Hao chuckled and shook his head at Chonglou's excited and incoherent words. The gold coins in the Magic City are thicker than the gold coins minted by Campbell, about 1.5 centimeters, and the tallest building in the Magic City is a demon king's tower, which is nearly a thousand meters high.
Therefore, the answer can be easily obtained by just doing the math. If simply stacked, the hill made of 24,237,000 gold coins can easily exceed one thousand meters. If it collapses, it can truly become a sea of gold coins.
"My Lord, my Lord, I will work hard in the future and complete all the tasks assigned by the Demon Hunting Bureau. I will devote myself to the Demon Hunting Bureau until my death! My Lord is the reborn father of Xuejian and me. I swear to be loyal to you until death. When Xuejian grows up, she will also join the Demon Hunting Bureau. My brother and I will definitely..."
Looking at Chonglou's attitude of showing his loyalty, Bai Hao just curled his lips and continued to look at the auction table below. There was one last item for auction. It was the blood-stained robe that Chonglou wore to the Champs Elysees auction house, and it was also the last item of the auction.
Obviously, this robe soaked in the blood of Bai Hao, Olmya, Hillnelya and Liu Jianguo is an incomparable treasure. Even those high and mighty demon kings will be crazy about it because they can also benefit from it!
Bai Hao commissioned Chonglou to investigate. There have been more than one examples of demon kings advancing in the demon world. Basically, they relied on the flesh and blood of creatures in the mortal world, such as directly eating the limbs or heart of a high-level priest.
It is impossible for Bai Hao to send a living priest of the three religions. Even for the sake of the great cause of the Demon Hunting Bureau, he cannot do such a thing without bottom line. Fortunately, objects soaked in blood can also have the same effect, not to mention that the blood stained is the blood of the highest saint of the three religions.
"The last lot is also from Lord Kenquil, but this lot is extremely special. Only the Demon King himself or demons from the Demon King's family can participate in the bidding!"
In fact, even if this was not said, the demon nobles from other families who were not strong enough had no intention of participating in the auction. It would be better to say that after the auction of Bai Hao's gold, silver, pearls and jade began, most of the demon nobles remained silent.
Lack of money is the direct reason, but lack of courage is the fundamental reason!
If you were lucky enough to win a piece of gold, silver, pearls or jade, you might be "invited" to have tea by a demon king as soon as you leave the auction house, or you might die accidentally on the way. After all, the demon king's strength is not enough to own a treasure of this level.
After saying this, the auctioneer slowly placed her trembling hands on the red cloth beside her. Being so close to the blood-stained robe, she could clearly feel the surging blood.
The auctioneer was originally a succubus of the demon lord class. At this moment, the succubus pattern on her lower abdomen lit up unconsciously, and the magic power in her body was boiling violently. The demons who frequently visited the brothel could see that the auctioneer was in heat, and he did it in full view of everyone.
Shelby immediately sent someone to the stage to take the auctioneer away. His Champs Elysees Auction House was the most professional auction house in the entire Magic City. How could such an embarrassing thing happen? Wouldn't he be laughed at by his peers if it got out?
But the auctioneer just now was already the most professional. It seems that now I have to preside over the auction of this blood-stained robe myself.
Looking at the auctioneer who was still blushing after being carried away, Shebil frowned imperceptibly, secretly despising him in his heart. It turned out that succubi could never achieve anything great!
Over tens of thousands of years, the Demon Kings of the Demon City have replaced hundreds and thousands, but there has never been a case of a succubus breaking through to become an original demon. In the Demon Realm where strength is respected, this clan is also looked down upon by most demons.
"Everyone!"
Shelby lifted the red silk with great momentum, and then showed everyone a tattered robe that exuded a strong aura. "I am Shelby Galendo. This auction item is specially provided by the Demon King, so naturally I should preside over it myself!"
Shelby's old but deep voice resounded throughout the auction hall, along with his extremely terrifying demon aura that also spread out. The demon nobles who were originally a little noisy immediately quieted down. This was the spontaneous awe of the weak for the strong.
Shelby's words were not addressed to the vast majority of the demon nobles present. He was only speaking to the dozen or so demon kings sitting in the VIP box on the top floor. Only demon kings could be his guests.
"This item was worn by the Demon Lord Kenguil in his last battle in the Mortal Realm. It is soaked with blood, the blood of the highest saints from the Bright Moon Goddess Sect, the Life Goddess Sect, and the Destiny God Sect. This battle shocked the heavens and the earth, and it annihilated the mortal god's momentum, and boosted the arrogance of our demon clan. It was the first great victory in nearly ten thousand years..."
"Lord K'anquil was born from the lust, rage, and greed of the mortal world. He is a third-order original demon revered by all demons, and even more so a god revered by our demon race... Lord K'anquil is also a distinguished guest of our Galendo family, and even more so a distinguished guest of the Demon City. Today, he has taken the time to come to our Champs Elysees Auction House. Let us pay him the highest respects before auctioning this item..."
