Chapter 393: Map Fragments
Chapter 393: Map Fragments
"Why does this thing look familiar?" Ling Feng watched a maid walk up to the platform. On the tray in her hand was a brocade box with a sheepskin map inside.
Shang Ruoyi's pupils shrank slightly.
Isn't this part of the treasure map?
Ling Feng frowned. In his impression, he must have seen it somewhere before, but now he couldn't remember it at all.
Shang Ruoyi sat up straight, her eyes fixed on the map. She had to get the map no matter what.
Wan Qing looked at the people in the audience and whispered, "This is a fragment of a map. Our people have studied it for a long time, but because there are no markings on it, we don't know what secrets are behind it. But a map made of this material must be something extraordinary."
At this moment, someone in the audience sneered, "There are at least eight hundred maps like this on the ghost market, if not a thousand, and they are all used to swindle people. I thought your auction would not have such a low-level problem, but now it seems that this is it!"
"That's right, you have the nerve to put this map up for auction. It's really laughable."
Wan Qing was not angry as she listened to their discussions, and the smile on her face did not change.
"Everyone, please be patient." She picked up the map and burned it, but the map did not change at all.
"This map has been soaked in a special potion. It is said that one inch of this sheepskin is worth a thousand gold coins, and this potion is a lost skill from the previous dynasty." Wan Qing smiled and said, "Everyone should know that the current countries were divided from the previous dynasty. It is said that there was an extremely rich treasure scattered in the world from the previous dynasty. I wonder if it is related to this map. The starting price of this map is 10,000 taels."
Wan Qing's gaze fell on the audience. She thought that everyone would be excited about this fragment and would compete to bid for it, but she didn't expect that they remained indifferent and no one raised the price.
Jun Luoyun looked at the map and sneered: "Does this auction think we are fools? Ten thousand taels to bid for such a fake." She looked at the City King beside her and said: "Father, this auction is really boring. They actually use such rubbish to fool you."
The King of the City said nothing. His eyes were fixed on the sheepskin map and he did not come back to his senses for a long time.
He had seen such a map before, in her box.
Seeing that no one raised the price, Wan Wanqing was a little puzzled.
At this time, an old man smiled and said, "It's just a fragment. What you said is just a rumor. If there is a treasure from the previous dynasty, why has this map never appeared in the world? This is a fragment, so where are the other fragments?"
Wanqing frowned slightly: "This..."
"So, this map is completely useless and is just a gimmick."
The Seventh Prince looked at the stage, smiled and said, "Ten thousand taels is not a small amount. How could there be a fool who would buy such a piece of junk?"
The smile on his face didn't last long before he heard a voice in his ear: "Ten thousand and one taels."
"puff!"
The tea in his mouth sprayed out before he could swallow it.
"Are you crazy?" He said in disbelief, "This map is something I've seen many times before. It's just something used to trick children."
Shang Ruoyi glanced at him and said, "What do you know?" When she looked at the fragment of the map, even the space trembled.
She focused her energy on her eyes, and her originally lazy body suddenly stiffened.
Suddenly, a picture appeared on the map. It showed a cave filled with gold, silver, jewelry, rare treasures and stones. Some of the pictures were blurry and unclear.
This treasure map must be real.
Now there are two pieces in the space. If this piece is added, there will be three pieces. As long as we find one more piece, we will know where the treasure is.
The Seventh Prince looked at her and said, "Could it be that this treasure is real?"
Ling Feng's eyes were frozen, and many images emerged in his mind, but he could not piece them together completely.
But he was sure that he had seen this map somewhere before.
Wan Qing's originally ugly expression suddenly looked better after hearing Shang Ruoyi's voice.
Jun Luoyun in the room on the fourth floor sneered, "That person is really weird. He raises the price by one or two taels each time. It's really ridiculous. Now he bids for a piece of trash. People will definitely laugh at him."
At this moment, the city king next to him whispered, "One hundred and ten thousand taels."
