“Next up is the ninth lot, a manuscript from the Kingdom’s Holy Temple Knight, with significant collectible value, starting at 2000 gold coins!” On the auction stage, the auctioneer introduced the lot in front of him.

“2200 gold coins!”

“2500 gold coins!”

There wasn’t a noisy atmosphere, and the bids were orderly.

Milton Cheney had to admit the atmosphere in the auction was quite good, and the nobles participating in the auction were also very enthusiastic.

Sitting in the private box on the second floor, Milton could oversee everything.

There were only four private boxes on the second floor.

These were prepared for nobles of significant status, and you could also bid from within these boxes.

In fact, at the beginning of the auction, Milton was already observing to see who on the first floor resembled a member of the Black Robe Seekers’ Club.

Luckily, amongst the nobles attending the auction, only one was dressed in black.

Milton easily zeroed in on the person who resembled a member of the Black Robe Seekers’ Club.

This person had not made a single bid since the auction began. Sitting there, prim and proper, he gave off an air of aloofness. “William, do you know that nobleman in black?”

Milton casually asked William, who was guarding beside him.

Upon hearing Milton’s words, William looked up at the man in black sitting on the first floor, contemplating for a moment.

“That is Viscount Russell. His territory is also in the East River Province. Is there anything wrong, Young Master?”

William replied, throwing a question back at Milton.

“Nothing, I was just curious because he’s the only one here dressed in black.”

Milton offered a casual explanation, but he wasn’t as calm inside as he appeared on the surface.

He had not expected there to be a nobleman among the Black Robe Seekers’ Club.

Milton had assumed that the members of the Black Robe Seekers’ Club would be hidden figures, not expecting they would include outright nobles.

Time slowly passed, and countless nobles snapped up one lot after another.

The Golden Lion Family’s grand auction would sell a total of one hundred lots.

The first ninety were arranged randomly, with varying values.

The final ten lots were the climax of the auction, becoming more precious the further it went.

Milton had seen the list and naturally knew what the climax of this auction were, and some items even surprised him.

“The ninety-first lot, Master Maupassant’s painting – [Princess’s Jewelry].

This painting is a work that Master Maupassant did in his thirties. It has been preserved for over two hundred years.

It’s well preserved, very valuable for collection, starting price 10000 gold coins. ”

As the auctioneer’s voice fell, a maid on the side lifted the red cloth covering the painting.

A framed painting was revealed to everyone.

The entire painting was not large and was rectangular. It depicted a young girl dressed as a princess, toying with the jewelry in her hands.

Once the painting was revealed, the first floor of the auction house became somewhat noisy, and some nobles began whispering amongst themselves.

Even Milton on the second floor could hear the nobles’s whisperings.

“This is a genuine Master Maupassant! Master Maupassant’s works are rarely seen in the Kingdom nowadays. This is quite a generous lot!” “Didn’t anticipate a surprise like this. Might try a bid.”

These nobles’ response to this painting was quite positive.

This Master Maupassant was quite famous in the Kingdom, as this name also existed in Milton’s memory.

In the Frostwinter Kingdom, Maupassant was somewhat equivalent to Van Gogh from Milton’s former world and later world.

However, Milton Cheney did not find this painting particularly interesting, mainly because he lacked any real artistic flair.

The only thing he could ascertain was that the painting was attractive, nothing more than that.

Furthermore, as an experienced netizen in his previous life, he had seen countless great works, so there was no particular surprise.

“15,000 gold coins!”

“20,000 gold coins!”

After that came a string of bid calls. The frequency of bids was noticeably higher than before.

As expected of the final lot in the auction, just the first item had pushed the atmosphere forward a step.

Milton even noticed Viscount Russell’s eyes light up with interest, but in the end he didn’t bid.

“80,000 gold coins!”

A decisive voice echoed, making the auction house suddenly quieter.

Milton also revealed a touch of surprise. His reason for surprise was simple.

The bid came from right beside him – the person bidding was also in the second-floor box.

There had already been several hours passed since the auction began, and this was tne nrst time Milton naa neara someone on tne secona noor maK1ng a ma.

Moreover, he could tell that the voice was young, not like an old veteran noble’s voice, so he turned to William with questioning eyes.

“The current bid is from the Rose Family’s man, the sole son of Earl Rose, who was also invited to this auction.”

William began to explain. Hearing William’s words, Milton nodded.

No wonder he found the voice familiar. He had actually seen this person during the Hunting Day he attended several months ago.

However, they had only met a few times and had a few conversations, so they were not very familiar.

In the end, the painting was won by this sole son of Earl Rose, as the bidding price was already quite high.

The estimated price written on the list Milton had was between 60,000 and 75,000.

The subsequent lots did not interest Milton, but they still triggered a scramble among the nobles.

“The ninety-eight item, Knight’s Breathing Technique – Frost Breathing Technique.

Ordinary level of Breathing Technique, lacking the Secret Medicine Formula.

It can be cultivated to the Peak Knight’s realm, there’s no starting bid, the highest bidder wins!”

With the introduction of the third to the last lot, the auction house first floor immediately burst into an uproar, many eyes lit up.

Although some large families have their Breathing Techniques, no one would ever say they have too many.

And there are small families that don’t have any Breathing Techniques – not every family is the Golden Lion Family.

Of course, there were people from these types of families present, and their eyes practically turned red seeing this item.

This was definitely something that could be bought and used to increase their family’s foundation.

Milton also felt a sense of wonder seeing this item displayed.

Even though he had been informed of this item beforehand, he still marveled at the wealth and power of the Golden Lion Family when it actually appeared on stage.

Breathing Techniques also have levels, divided from bottom to top into Ordinary Level, Excellent Level, and Perfect Level.

A Breathing Technique which can only be cultivated up to an Official Knight is Ordinary Level, while those that can be cultivated to the Grand Knight’s realm are Excellent Level.

A Perfect Level Breathing Technique can be cultivated all the way to the Epic Knight’s level.

The Golden Lion Breathing Technique passed down by the Golden Lion Family is a Perfect Level Breathing Technique with a complete Secret Medicine Formula.

You must know that Knight’s Breathing Techniques count as Secret Records, with only one original copy of each.

Apart from the true Wizards, Breathing Techniques cannot be replicated, although they can certainly be taught directly by someone who has learned one.

In other words, unless a Wizard was bored enough to replicate multiple copies of Frost Breathing Technique, this Frost Breathing Technique would be the only original copy, and its value was self- evident.

Moreover, something like a Breathing Technique is truly invaluable, something money can’t buy.

Gold coins are an external thing, while a Breathing Technique, which can lead directly to transcendence, is something countless people dream of.

Even if it is an Ordinary Level Breathing Technique lacking the Secret Medicine Formula, it is still a dream beyond the reach of many people in their lifetime..
