Earl Juno still didn't make a bid, he was waiting until June 30th to make his move. As time passed, the price of these three stone carvings also slowly rose. Since they were works by a master craftsman, their prices would eventually reach around 1,000 gold coins, so the higher they went, the slower they would rise.

  500 coins, 510 coins, 515 coins...

  The slow rise in quotations, even on June 29, the quotation only reached 625 gold coins.

  June 30th.

  On this day, Count Juno was unusually absent in the morning and only came over in the evening because the Prucks Club stayed open until midnight every night. Lin Lei's three stone sculptures would also be taken down after midnight.

  "Yesterday's bid was 625 gold coins, and we waited until the final offer." Earl Juno smiled as he walked up to the three stone carvings.

  "900 gold coins? What a fool quoted that price!" Earl Juno cursed in his heart as soon as he saw the price.

  Yesterday's quote was only 625 gold coins, but now it has reached this price. Earl Juno was angry in his heart, but he had no choice. He decided to wait slowly and looked up at the wall clock after a long time.

  "It's already eleven o'clock, and there is only one hour left before closing." The Earl of Juno smiled slightly.

  Earl Juno is only a mediocre noble in the city of Finlay, and when he was young, Earl Juno was very struggling. Later, relying on his collection of stone carvings, his wealth gradually increased, and now his assets are worth tens of millions of gold coins, which is considered to be a pretty good rich man.

  "Earl Zhūnó, you're also here?" A middle-aged man with a eight-character beard and wearing a tailcoat walked over with a smile.

  "Ah, it's Duke Deppert," said Earl Juno with a faint smile. "What brings you here at this late hour? It's already past eleven." But in his heart, Earl Juno felt a sense of unease.

  Earl of Juno, Earl of De Pastor, are two relatively well-known collectors in the stone carving circle in Finlay City.

  "I? Of course, it's for these three stone carvings." Count De Mole said with a stroke of his eight whiskers, "Count Juno, look at the unique charm of these three works. The master who can create such stone carvings must be an extraordinary person."

  Count Juno's heart skipped a beat.

  As expected...

  This German Shepherd Earl also attaches great importance to these three stone carvings, and is probably waiting for the Earl of Germany to come over at eleven o'clock, guessing that it's a similar idea as his own.

  "Miss, please come over here." Earl Deport spoke politely to the female servant not far away, and she smiled and walked over. Earl Deport pointed at the three stone carvings carved by Lin Lei: "These three works, each one I'll pay 1,000 gold coins for."

  The waitress politely nodded: "Please wait a moment."

  The waitress took out a notebook and recorded the number and price, then stuck a price tag next to the stone carving.

  "A thousand gold coins?" The muscles around Count Juno's eyes twitched slightly.

  The Earl of De smiled at the Earl of Juno: "Earl Juno, these three stone carvings are indeed very good. Ah, Earl Juno, it's late at night, why aren't you resting? Are you also here for these three stone carvings?"

  Count Juno hesitated for a moment.

  "I didn't expect Earl Deport to like these three stone carvings so much, I haven't paid much attention to them yet. Let me take a closer look." Earl Juno said with a smile, and then stared at the three stone carvings intently, completely ignoring Earl Deport beside him.

  The Earl of German Shepherd saw this scene and coldly smiled in his heart: "Old guy, I still can't guess what's on your mind?"

  The music flowed gently, like the sound of a spring, throughout the entire Prucks Hall. The Count of Derby and the Earl of Juno both quietly observed other works, and the entire hall was so quiet.

  "Dong, dong......" The wall clock struck.

  Twelve o'clock.

  "Miss, come here for a moment." Earl Zhuno shouted at the distant maid, and the maid immediately ran over.

  "These three pieces, I bid 1,010 gold coins for each." Count Juno made his bid at the last moment.

  The waitress took a look at the three stone carvings, which were originally priced at 1,000 gold coins. She couldn't help but think that Earl Juno was being quite generous, adding 10 more gold coins to the price, rather than just one.

  "Please wait." The waitress took out her notebook.

  "Earl Juno, you're only adding ten gold coins? I'm bidding 1100 gold coins!" Earl De's voice rang out. Earl Juno furrowed his brow and looked up to see Earl De walking over from a distance, looking spirited and with a hint of complacency in his eyes.

  Obviously, this German Shepherd Earl had also been paying attention to Juno Earl, and as soon as Juno Earl made a bid, he immediately came over.

  "I'll give 1200 gold coins." Earl Juno said in a low voice, his anger palpable to outsiders. The female servant beside him also sensed the competition between the two nobles and temporarily closed her ledger, watching with excitement. In the Prucks Auction House, what the servants liked most was seeing people competing in bidding wars.

  "Count Juno, the works in the exhibition hall are only worth around 1,000 gold coins. You're a frugal person, why would you bid 1,200 gold coins?" Count Debert asked in surprise.

  Frugality?

  Miserliness is, Earl Zhūnǒ's miserliness was renowned.

  "Earl Zhūnó, you've already bid 1,200 gold coins, I shouldn't be stingy either, 1,300 gold coins!" said Earl Dé Mù with a smile.

  "Earl Juno's gaze turned cold, and he said: 'I only bid high on these three stone carvings because I like them myself. Their true value is just over 1,000 points, 1,500 gold coins! If you, Earl De Pastor, can offer a higher price, then they're yours.'"

  To be honest, Earl German Shepherd's eyesight is not as good as Earl Juno's. He didn't notice the strange details of these three stone carvings at all.

  In the eyes of Count Delbach, these three stone carvings contain that special charm and are considered good works, worth over a thousand gold coins. If you bid again, it won't make much sense.

  "Haha." Earl De Pastor laughed, "Since Earl Juno is rarely so generous, I won't take away what you love. These three stone carvings will be yours, Earl Juno."

  At this time, the waitress next to her finally recorded the number and price on the notebook.

  "Two earls, it's already midnight and our pavilion is about to close. Earl Juno, someone from our pavilion will deliver these three stone carvings to your mansion tomorrow." The female attendant said with a smile, and only then did Earl Juno reveal a smile.

  Earl Zhūnǒ glanced at Earl Dé Mù, looking down on him in his heart: "Junior? How many years have I studied stone carvings? Not enough vision, still competing with me?"
