Chapter 1769: God-level salesman
Ye Chen set the details of the auction with Song Wanting and Chen Zekai, and felt much more at ease about this matter.
Next, he had to wait for the Rejuvenating Pill to make some noise in the upper-class society of Europe and America, and then take advantage of the situation to release the news of the auction.
At this time, the royal carriage Helena was riding in had just arrived at the Osu City Cathedral in the Nordic capital.
This cathedral, with a history of hundreds of years, is the largest and most magnificent cathedral in the Nordic country. The medieval architectural style not only has a strong Renaissance temperament but also cleverly integrates Baroque style, which is the landmark building of Osu City, the Nordic capital.
Since its completion, this cathedral has witnessed the coronation of many Nordic kings and empresses.
Now, it will welcome the youngest empress in Nordic history, Helena Iliad.
Under the gaze of countless people, Helena walked slowly off the carriage and, accompanied by several attendants, walked onto the bluestone-paved path outside the Osu City Cathedral.
On both sides of the path, there were flowers still covered with dew, and the soldiers of the Royal Guard stood solemnly with rifles in their hands, seeing Helena walk in slowly.
According to the royal family's process, Helena had to spend at least 5 minutes to walk this bluestone road slowly, and also needed to stop at the entrance of the cathedral for a moment to wave to everyone.
And at this moment, the Osu City Cathedral was already full of royal families, nobles, and celebrities from all over Europe.
Europe is not very large, and many countries that still retain royal families have been constantly intermarrying since hundreds of years ago, and they are basically related to each other, and some are not even out of the five generations.
Sitting in the first row of the cathedral were almost all direct relatives of the European royal family, among whom the most famous was the British Crown Prince Philip and his princess.
This Crown Prince Philip is now over seventy years old and is the oldest crown prince in Europe.
Because the crown prince is only a duke's title, his status is lower than that of the empress, so even if Helena is forty years younger than him, he still has to represent the British royal family to pay a visit to Helena, the new empress.
Although Helena hadn't come in yet, at this time, from the side door in the front of the cathedral, an old lady dressed gorgeously, accompanied by several attendants, walked in.
As soon as everyone saw this old lady, they let out a burst of exclamation.
Because this old lady was none other than the current Nordic Empress.
That is, Helena's grandmother.
Her sudden appearance here made all the guests in the cathedral feel very surprised.
Because they had just received a secret letter from the Nordic Royal Family a few days ago. The secret letter informed that the Empress had completely lost consciousness and her body was on the verge of death, and even said that the Empress's passing was just a matter of this month.
This kind of secret letter is a convention among European royal families in modern times.
European royal families one or two hundred years ago were actually full of various intrigues.
Back then, the European powers or a bunch of small countries fought each other, and it wasn't a day or two or once or twice.
Even if everyone was related by blood, once they were in a hurry, no one cared about these blood ties.
However, since modern times when royal families of various countries handed over real power and implemented a constitutional monarchy, these European royal families lost their country and society, but became unusually united, quite like holding together for warmth.
Once the king or empress of any kingdom is in poor health, or even in a dying state, the royal family will send secret letters to other royal families, letting the other party know in advance and prepare to come for mourning.
And generally, those who come to mourn are crown princes of various countries, or prestigious princes.
Otherwise, if someone happened to be abroad during this period, they would miss the funeral.
So these people had always felt that the old Nordic Empress was probably about to die, and changing the heir to the throne was likely a flash in the pan before death. But who could have thought that this old man would walk into the cathedral by herself at this time!
The state of the Empress's walking, although it couldn't be called walking like flying, could be considered very steady for an old lady who was already over 70.
Moreover, the Empress's complexion was ruddy and her expression was relaxed, not at all like someone who was seriously ill and about to die.
As the Empress walked to the front of the crowd in the first row, Duke Philip was the first to come back to his senses, stood up in shock, and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, long time no see, your complexion is not worse than when I last saw you!"
The Empress nodded slightly and laughed: "Philip, is your mother's health okay?"
Philip hurriedly said: "She was slightly unwell some time ago and is still recovering. After all, she is old, so she recovers slowly."
"Yes..." The Empress sighed: "She is almost one hundred years old, which is indeed remarkable."
At this time, others looked at the Empress and still hadn't recovered from the shock, because they found that the Empress's walking, speaking, and behavior didn't look like someone who was ill at all. This was really too strange. Even if she recovered from a serious illness, it was impossible to be so thorough all of a sudden, right?
Some older ones had already started to ponder secretly, not knowing what method the Empress used to recover so quickly. Could it be that Nordic medical technology had made any major development? However, this group of old European royal families, old nobles, and old rich people were all staring at European medical development, and many of them even invested in many pharmaceutical companies and related scientific research companies. If there was any disturbance, everyone would definitely know.
After all, this group of people was very old, and one by one they were very rich and powerful, so the more they reached this time, the more they cherished their lives.
When they met friends on various occasions, they no longer paid attention to what the other party was wearing or what they were wearing, but paid most attention to the other party's complexion to infer the other party's health status.
If the other party looked good, they must get to the bottom of it to see what kind of health-preserving way they had.
At this time, the old Empress said very seriously to Duke Philip: "Philip, I recommend a very magical Eastern divine medicine to you and Her Majesty the Empress. The name of this medicine is Rejuvenating Pill!"
As soon as these words came out, not only was Duke Philip dumbfounded, but even the others who hadn't spoken were shocked and speechless.
Someone muttered secretly: "Rejuvenating Pill? What is that? Eastern divine medicine? Could it be that the Nordic Empress was cured by this divine medicine?"
What others were thinking was the same question.
At this time, the Empress said again: "I was already critically ill and incurable. The top experts in Northern Europe announced that I wouldn't live for a month, and I wouldn't be able to wake up in the last month. But my good granddaughter Helena brought me a quarter of a Rejuvenating Pill from far away China..."
Speaking of this, the Empress added weight to her tone with emotion and repeated: "It was only a quarter! It was less than the size of a silkworm bean! It actually brought me back to life! The doctor checked my body and said I could live at least five more years! This is simply the most magical thing I have encountered in my life! If it weren't for this divine medicine coming from far away China, I would have even thought it was God's grace to me..."
The Empress didn't say this very loudly, but this sentence suddenly sounded like a thunderclap, causing a roar in the cathedral! ===== CHAPTER 1770 =====
