MTL - The Barrage Said, I Am the Final Villain In the Game-Chapter 129 Legends of the Rhineland

  Chapter 129 The Legend of the Rhineland

   "The starting price is one gold coin!"

Although this price is not the final transaction price, and the quality of the gem offered for auction is indeed not high in practicability, but in any case, it is still a brilliant gemstone at the sixth rank. It is more or less a charity to use it as the starting price.

  In fact, according to Lynn's observation, the auction held by Enoch is not much different from charity.

  After several rounds of bidding, the gem was finally sold at a price of 1,200 gold coins.

   It is not an exaggeration to say that this number is a free gift, because these people may spend a dozen or even dozens of one thousand and two for a dinner party.

   After the auction of many items ended, Lynn discovered that this auction actually had certain rules.

  What is put up for auction, no matter what the transaction price is, will eventually fall into the hands of the first bidder.

   However, this seemingly regular guess was interrupted when another auction item was brought up.

  The auctioneer held up a rusty crown and smiled.

   "After expert appraisal, this crown comes from the former glory of the Rhineland—the Kingdom of Norton."

   "The history of the Norton Kingdom dates back seven or eight hundred years ago. Although it only existed for a short period of more than a hundred years, its territory is far larger and more glorious than the current Rhineland."

   "And the former owner of this crown was the first king of the Norton Kingdom—Hamp Norton."

  When the auctioneer finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the venue, and then uncontrollable whispers broke out.

   "It's actually it?"

  In the corner, Hester stared at the rusty crown, with uncontrollable shock in his voice.

  He turned his head suddenly and looked at the man beside him: "Can you even get this kind of thing?"

   Not only him, even Corinna's eyes fell on Enoch uncontrollably.

  The two noble children can show such expressions, obviously, what this crown represents is definitely not as rusty as its surface.

that's the truth.

  The land under their feet was a gathering place of human beings a long time ago, and because there is a long, clear and transparent river running from east to west, humans at that time named it "Rhine".

The Rhine region has a long history. When the [Eternal Emperor] established the human empire, it was also one of the key areas. However, as time passed, the power of the empire gradually weakened, and the ability to control the surrounding area began to weaken. The Rhine region, which is strong and strong, It is natural to have an independent mind.

  But the empire is an empire after all, no matter how good the Fengshui in the Rhineland area is, it is only a powerful party, and it is impossible to deal with the empire from any place.

   Therefore, independence was quickly suppressed.

  However, as long as there are signs of this kind of thing, it is bound to spread like a prairie fire.

  Although one side was suppressed, it didn't take long for another side to emerge.

  Because the background of the Rhine region is really excellent, there are people with abilities one after another, and the conflicts are repeated again and again, and when they all point their fingers at the same target, even the ancient empire is a bit difficult.

  So, the empire gave a solution.

  The Rhine region is allowed to establish a kingdom. The empire will not forcibly intervene in internal affairs, but occasionally it will send a monitoring team to check whether the belief in the goddess of starlight is loyal, and it needs to pay taxes every year, etc.

   This is actually a relatively harsh treaty, but most people in the Rhine region are already fantasizing about a better life after independence, so they agreed easily.

   But in fact, what greeted Rhine was not good.

  Since it is a kingdom, there must be a king, right?

   So, who will be king?

   As a result, more intense fighting swept across the entire Rhine region, and even spread to other regions.

During this period of time, various principalities, large and small, emerged one after another, and there were countless pseudo-kingdoms known as the **** Kingdom. Hundreds of years of war almost destroyed the former Rhine, until a man named Hamp Norton Appear.

   There are many legends about Sir Norton, but there is only one most famous one.

   It is said that when this Sir Norton raised his troops, he was immediately besieged by several surrounding forces, and he was about to wipe out any existence that might break the balance.

  However, Sir Norton did not panic at all.

  On a rainy night, he took hundreds of his own soldiers to fight against the opponent in a certain valley.

  Before standing, he put on a crown without any gems or decorations for himself, and then said a simple sentence to the soldiers.

   "I, will be the king."

  Riding on his horse, he was the first to meet the enemy cavalry.

   Then, he won that war.

   Then, he took the crown he made for himself, won every war, and truly became the king of the kingdom.

  Although Hamp Norton passed away peacefully on a rainy night without enjoying too many rights as a king, there are too many legends contained in his undefeated life. Although people are gone, the legend will be passed down forever.

   Among them, the most popular one is the story about the crown.

   It is said that during the coronation, King Norton still wore the crown he made himself and received the blessing of the gods.

   And that crown has thus become a special item endowed with special qualities by the gods.

   "The person who gets it will become the master of the Rhineland."

  Korinna read this rumor in a low voice, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

   "You don't hold this kind of thing yourself, but take it and give it to others?"

   "I took it out, of course I have my reasons." Enoch said casually, "Equivalent exchange is the only truth in alchemy, isn't it?"

   Corinna was even more surprised: "Equivalent exchange? How is it possible? What can have a value that matches this crown?"

   "Matching is naturally impossible." Enoch shrugged, "That is much more valuable than this stuff."

  “.”

   Corinna opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to answer.

  Beside her, Hester's face behind the mask was full of a kind of stupidity.

  Maybe it's because of the brothers and sisters. At this time, the same idea suddenly came to their hearts.

   "What exactly does he want?"

   Enoch obviously wouldn't explain this question to them, and it was naturally impossible for them to take the initiative to ask.

   After thinking about it, Corinna changed the subject.

   "Say. Who's likely to get it?"

  Hurst also echoed: "It's been so long, it seems that no one has bid yet."

"Normal." Enoch spread his hands, "Human nature is greedy. If they hold one gold coin, they will definitely want ten, one hundred, but when ten million gold coins appear in front of them No matter how greedy they are, they must first consider the consequences of taking these gold coins."

"Although a profit of 2300% can make people challenge the guillotine, and this crown represents thousands of thousands, but that is something that can only be obtained after the transaction is completed. After reaping the profit Before, they had to pay the corresponding 'cost'."

   "This cost is not something they can afford. And the fear that arises in their hearts will also make them choose to be content with the status quo."

  Hurst scratched his head, put away his thoughts of bidding, and whispered: "Then, it won't fail the auction, right?"

   "Unsuccessful?" Enoch smiled, "It's not impossible."

   "In the auction I held, the final destination of each item is determined. This crown is also prepared for people in advance."

   "However, the preparation is the preparation, but the right to choose whether to have it or not is not in my hands."

  Looking at the crown, Lynn narrowed his eyes slightly.

  After the auctioneer reported the starting price of one gold coin, this time, after a long time, no one bid.

  Lin En didn't think that everyone present would feel that the item in the auctioneer's hand was a fake, and if they were speechless because of shock, it would have been too long.

   After such a long time, even if the landslides and the ground crack, it is time to recover.

   "There is no default owner for this thing?" Lin En squinted his eyes, tapped the armrest with his fingertips, "No, no."

   "Perhaps, it is the default owner, and there is no bid yet."

  So, who is this person?

   After a while, Lin En suddenly laughed softly.

   That's right, if you don't notice this, then the other party can find a purpose for him to bury in advance.

  A person who has been in Catalina for so long and the King of the Rhine has nothing to do with him, how can it be so easy to hide it.

but.

  Is this a temptation, or a provocation?

   Lynn picked up the sign on one side and raised his hand.

   "One gold coin."
