When the Boat Reaches the Bridge, It Will Straighten Itself (1)

"Oh, okay, okay, two hundred thousand for the first time..."

"Two hundred thousand for the second time..."

"Two hundred and one thousand!!" The Eighth Prince gritted his teeth and uttered these words with great difficulty, as if he had reached his limit.

"This is so boring, you only added 10,000! Three hundred thousand!" Ye Lang readily added the amount to three hundred thousand.

"..." The Eighth Prince's face had turned pale, while the others gasped in shock.

"Three... three hundred thousand... the first time..." The auctioneer was a little excited; this price was truly unexpected.

"Three hundred thousand for the second time!"

"Three hundred thousand, third time, sold!!"

In the end, the Eighth Prince did not make a bid and had no choice but to give up. The Magic Cube thus fell into Ye Lang's hands for a sky-high price of 300,000 gold coins!

"Miss, what's your name? May I get to know you?" At this moment, a prince approached the Puppet Girl with great elegance and asked.

"Lady Marqué, it's a pleasure to meet you!" The Puppet Girl smiled slightly and said in a noble and elegant manner.

"Lady Marqué?" Upon hearing this name, everyone present felt unfamiliar with it and couldn't recall having such a person at all.

"Maqu? Could it be the Mach Family?" Some people thought of the Mach Family, but only a very few people knew about it; others had never even heard of it.

"The Mach Family, what are they?"

"It's a Lineage that has existed for over a thousand years. They've always kept a low profile, so few people know about them. But their strength shouldn't be weak, considering they've been around for over a thousand years! Maybe they found being so secretive boring and are about to reveal themselves..."

"So that's how it is. It seems they were lonely..."

"..."

It is believed that after this incident, Lady Maqu and the Mach Family will soon become well-known throughout Dragon City and become a hot topic of conversation.

Once it became a topic of conversation, people from high society would flock around, wanting to get to know Lady Lei Di was the subject of this discussion.

This little guy, I never knew he had this skill. I'm sure he'll be able to get into the Imperial Palace this time. Cold-Blooded Seventh looked at Ye Lang with a strange expression on his face.

She always felt that Ye Lang's actions this time were somewhat haphazard, almost like luck!

Yes, it's all about luck. Wherever Ye Lang goes, luck follows him. There's no way to explain it!

Take the item from earlier as an example. Even if Ye Lang didn't know its value, he would still bid for it because Cold-Blooded Seventh said he wanted to acquire it, and once he made a move, he would fight to the bitter end, preferably spending all his savings.

However, the subsequent developments of this matter will not be so miraculous; a certain amount of strength will still be needed to make the most of this luck.

Now Cold-Blooded Seventh has some problems: where did this little guy get 300,000 gold coins? And is this thing really worth 300,000?

So she asked, "Cousin, why did you buy this? Is it really worth it?"

"Yes, Miss Marqu, even if it belongs to Pirate King Jack, it doesn't have that much value. Do you really think there's a treasure belonging to Pirate King Jack? But wasn't Pirate King Jack's treasure already discovered?" At this moment, another prince came over and greeted the Puppet Girl.

Moreover, this time it wasn't just one person who came; there were also some other nobles who wanted to get to know this rising new noble lady.

What the prince said was exactly what everyone was thinking. They believed that since Pirate King Jack's treasure had already been discovered, there couldn't possibly be any more treasure. Even if there were clues about the treasure, they would be meaningless!

Is that really the case?

"The treasure of Pirate King Jack has indeed been discovered, but that is only what he left behind later, not all of it!" The Puppet Girl smiled slightly and said softly.

"What?! Later stages?!" Everyone was surprised and looked at the Eighth Prince. Judging from the Eighth Prince's expression, everyone seemed to understand that he also knew about this matter.

"That's right! When Pirate King Jack was sixty years old, he concentrated all his spoils in one place, and then used another place. This was so that his treasure wouldn't be discovered all at once!" the Puppet Girl said slowly.

"As everyone knows, the legend of Pirate King Jack reached its peak between the ages of forty and fifty. Simply put, the treasures he acquired in his early years were the real treasures, while those acquired later were relatively small treasures!"

The Puppet Girl continued, "And this treasure—he put the map inside this Magic Cube. We can deduce it from the date this Magic Cube appeared!"

"..."

This time, everyone fell silent. No one had imagined that there was such an inside story. No wonder the Eighth Prince wanted to snatch it; it turned out he knew this clue.

"Myth brother, where did you get this clue from?" the lovely princess asked.

"I obtained the Pirate King Jack's diary and learned it from it. However, I don't understand, Miss Margot, how did you know that?" Eighth Prince looked at the Puppet Girl. There was only one diary; how could someone else know it?

He was certain that he was the only one who had read the diary!

The diary was kept in an Alchemy Box, and he used every possible method to unlock it and retrieve it!

"I can figure it out with some materials in the library and other pirates' diaries, just by thinking about it!" Ye Lang replied nonchalantly.

Sometimes, to understand a person, you don't need their diary; you can learn just as much from the people around them.

Although the Pirate King was very secretive, he always left clues, which others wrote down without paying attention. However, these clues were not obvious and were even completely irrelevant.

These clues need to be pieced together, but this is something that is definitely not something that an ordinary person can do!

I believe that even if Ye Lang shows these books to others, and they know that this clue is in them, they still won't be able to find it!

"..." The Eighth Prince fell silent. He had tried every possible means to obtain the clues, but others had found them in the library.

Ye Lang suddenly longed for the life of a pirate at that time, so he paid some attention to it and discovered this matter by chance!

"Cousin, even if it's the treasure of Pirate King Jack, is it worth spending 300,000 gold coins?" Cold-Blooded Seventh questioned, and this was also the question on everyone's mind.

Three hundred thousand gold coins—that's an astronomical figure; some treasures might not even be worth that much.
