Chapter 208 Golden Night
It was a record-breaking night...
The highest price for a single item in any auction hall in history = the second stage of the Minor Heavenly Law Cultivation Technique of Blaze at 20 million gold coins
This number is simply mythical, the former Burton family would have taken about 150 years to collect such an amount of gold in their treasury
This kind of money will not come out of the treasury of ANY family at once unless it is for a very strong reason, such as preparing an army for a war to determine its future, or if the treasury has been looted... Certainly not to buy something from an auction!
The highest total profit for an auction session in history + 45 million gold coins!!
The first auction on a multi-use tablet of the second stage of Blaze ended immediately with 20 million gold coins, the next auction was won by someone for 8.7 million gold coins, and the third auction was even more intense because it was the last and ended with a price of 13.1 million gold coins
This in addition to the rest of the hall's sales of the talisman, weapons, and single-use scrolls for the second stage of the Blaze as well, the total easily broke the 45 million gold coins mark.
This is without calculating the sales of the first stage of the Minor Heavenly Law Cultivation Technique of Blaze!!
After Robin announced the end of the auction, all guests rushed outside, heading towards the fixed selling points in the city, intending to buy the first stage of the law...
This alone achieved additional sales of 40 million gold coins!!
More than 80 million gold coins were earned in one day... the number almost broke the minds of the elders and officials of the Burton family!
Were it not for the new treasury facility that was recently built, they would not have found a sufficient place to put all these quantities of gold in it.
The entire administrative area was shining in golden color from the many chariots loaded with gold that entered every minute!
Even the elders who were outraged by the decision to withhold Robin's $25 million in profits previously simply forgot about it now, realizing that Billy had a future viewpoint that went beyond their own...
Even after deducting the part Robin wants, they will still have more than 55 million gold coins... This will be enough for them to live in prosperity for dozens of years even if they never work one night in their lives again!

On the evening of the same day-- inside Robin's Palace
"Your Highness Albert, I trust you have been fine since the last time I contacted you." Robin put his spiritual sense into his ring and sent
After a few seconds, the reply came, "Haha, welcome to the new rich man in the kingdom, I heard that you cleaned the kingdom of all its gold today.."
"Me? I wouldn't dare call myself rich in the presence of the royal family, what I have is nothing but a needle in an ocean in comparison to what you have, my highness." A smile appeared on Robin's face, eyes closed.
"Tsk tsk~ If the Burton family hasn't already amassed a quarter of the royal family's total wealth, you're not too far away... I can't believe what's going on, in one day you collected what our ancestors reaped over hundreds of years from wars and taxes!"
"Haha, the world is changing, Your Highness. All I care about is that you are not angry at today's events." Robin replied curtly.
"Angry? I was the one who told you to sell from the beginning so how can I be jealous now? haha, the only thing that bothered me a little is that second stage of your technique, that wasn't fine at all.."
" haha, it's just a second stage of minor law, your highness, how many of those are inside the kingdom anyway? I only thought we might collect the highest amount of gold possible in this way, was I wrong?"
" What a *just a second stage of minor law* you got there! we both know how strong that technique is and how you messed up the knights and saints of the royal family with it!" the sage replied with a sneer
" Did I? well, in the end, it's nothing but a second stage, right? as long as the royal family got you and his majesty then you will never be *messed up* " Robin said with a little anxiety
" Stop your nonsense kid, just make the future sales of the second stage more distant, maybe in a few years or in a few tens of years! only when you NEED gold, got it?"
" Yes sir! any more instructions of this 160 year old kid?"
" Yes! " the Sage ignored Robin's sarcasm and continued, " don't you dare sell the third stage of this law or any other, are we clear?!"
" yes, of course! I can't make them anyway, and if a managed to make one in the future it will only go to your highness."
"hmm good, don't forget to send taxes on all those profits by the way…"
"Of course of course, how could I forget? Let's wait until all sales have settled and we'll send you taxes, I think they'll be in the millions, not so bad for you huh? Haha, I will also send the whole Blaze technique as a small gift to Your Highness."
"Good!" Albert nodded and then continued, "Then? Why do you want to communicate with me? Don't say you're talking to me just to see my attitude on today's events, you don't really care about my anger otherwise you wouldn't talk to me about it after you did it, you little brat..."
"Hahaha, of course, I care about the opinion of the sage, how could I not? But there is actually something else I wanted to talk to you about.."
Robin paused for a few seconds and then continued, "A procession of fifty chariots carrying 25 million gold coins will be leaving Jura in a little while towards the capital, with that I end my part of the deal.
I want your highness to send me everything that you have collected during the past months, and to please send me everything that you reach constantly, I need those resources that I requested from you in a current project, and everything you send I will use, so I hope you are not too late."
"Hmm... it's good that you told me, I will send a few saints to meet the caravan and add layers of protection to it, and I have no problem with your request, within ten days you will find all that I collected in front of your palace, and then I will send you small caravans every two weeks until all the items are finished, is there another thing?"
"No, that's it! I know your highness's time is precious and I won't waste it anymore, I ask you to hang up, Your Highness."
After a few more pleasantries, the connection between Robin and the sage ended, and with it all the anxiety and smiles on Robin's face...
He just found himself sitting alone in the dark... not knowing what he was feeling.
