Chapter 250 Helkisin
That is also a painting.
Even through layers of spider webs and dirt, Xu Youyou could still feel the eerie evil aura faintly coming from it.
Lu Jingyao followed her gaze and quickly reached out to cover Xu Youyou's eyes.
"Don't look too much." Lu Jingyao said softly.
Xu Youyou nodded. Although she couldn't see clearly what the painting on the ceiling was about, her intuition was not a good thing.
She couldn't help but ask the system: "The original owner of this ancient castle deliberately left this painting behind. Is this some special foreign witchcraft?"
The system said: [Don't delve too deeply into the unknown. The more you know, the more disadvantageous it may be for you.]
"So what you mean is that I just need to know that this painting is valuable?" Xu Youyou asked.
The system gave a positive answer.
Xu Youyou didn't dare to look at the painting for too long, and as a result, she no longer liked the castle. She had originally thought of selling the valuables inside and then having someone renovate the house so that she could come here for vacation in the future.
Now, she had put that thought aside and turned to Hualuo and said, "You know a lot of people. Would anyone be interested in this painting?"
Hua Ruo's expression was not good. After hesitating for a full half minute, he slowly nodded and said, "I roughly know a few buyers."
"Then I'd like to trouble you to sell this castle together with this painting. The commission is negotiable." Xu Youyou said.
Hua Ruo nodded slightly and asked, "How much do you want to sell it for?"
He asked this because he wanted to know Xu Youyou's bottom line.
Before Xu Youyou could figure it out, a line of words appeared on the system interface.
"Two hundred million euros." Xu Youyou said.
Hua Ruo's eyes suddenly widened. "It's just one more painting. Why are you asking for such a huge sum? Is this painting more valuable than Van Gogh's?"
This castle only cost two million euros, and just with the addition of a painting, its value increased a hundred times. Hua Lu felt that Xu Youyou was too fanciful.
Xu Youyou, however, trusted her system very much and said firmly, "Just quote me this price, and I will only accept this price."
Hua Lao psychologically estimated the price to be around 10 million euros, but Xu Youyou is now his boss.
After leaving the castle, everyone returned to their residence in London. Hua Lu had just arrived in London this morning and had not booked a hotel at all. Naturally, she followed the two to Lu Jingyao's residence in London.
"Your house is big anyway, so what if I live there?" Hua Lu said confidently, feeling that she was a real expert at saving money.
Lu Jingyao was too lazy to chase him away, so he arranged for him to stay in a guest room farthest away from him.
Hua Luo didn't mind. After putting down the suitcase, she started contacting the buyer for Xu Youyou.
"Is there a painting on the ceiling?" The first buyer seemed very interested when he heard this.
Hua Ruo sent the photos he took.
Soon, the buyer asked, "How much?"
Hualuo said, "Boss, let me tell you, buying this painting now is a great deal. You get a house for free. The location of this house is also very good, and the surrounding scenery is picturesque..."
Hua Ruo laid out a lot of preamble, but the buyer on the other side was obviously impatient and said directly: "No need to talk about these nonsense, just one price."
Hua Ruo thought of the buyer's dark background and was afraid that asking for an exorbitant price would get him shot. Having taken precautions, he spoke cautiously, trying to be tactful and say, "The seller is a crazy woman. She said she won't sell it for less than 255 million euros."
What Hua Ruo didn't expect was that after hearing this, the other party immediately said, "Okay."
Hua Ruo was originally thinking about how to add a few words and then reduce the price to 200 million euros to highlight his role, but he didn't expect that the big brother on the other side agreed directly.
"Okay... okay... I'll contact the buyer for you now." Hua Ruo said hesitantly.
For a moment, he felt that this world was so strange. Xu Youyou and the big brother opposite were really one daring to sell and the other daring to buy. He thought it would be a very difficult tug of war, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.
Xu Youyou didn't expect that Hua Ruo would complete the business in just one dinner and even make 50 million euros.
"Mr. Hua, I spoke too loudly to you before." Xu Youyou teased.
Hua Ruo puffed out his chest proudly and said, "It's just a small matter. Don't worry, I'm not only frugal, but also have a wide network of contacts. There's no buyer I can't find."
He didn't mention at all that this big brother was only the first buyer he found. He even felt a little regretful. If he hadn't misjudged the value of the painting, it would have definitely been sold at a sky-high price if it had been auctioned.
It was obvious that the buyer was really anxious, as he arrived in London the day after the transaction was confirmed.
The buyer was a middle-aged man wearing a white robe, with an obviously white face and ordinary appearance.
Xu Youyou didn't know why, but when she saw this almost standard white face, she felt a subtle dislike in her heart. She vaguely felt that this person was not as simple as he seemed.
She didn't dare to think about it any further, but took the man in the robe to examine the painting on the ceiling of the secret room.
The man in the robe paid the money very readily and asked to transfer the property.
Xu Youyou made a huge fortune through her inflow and outflow. She made so much money that she even felt a little numb.
Just at this moment, Qing Yatou suddenly called.
"I dreamed that you should go north." Qing Yatou said only this and hung up the phone.
Although Xu Youyou felt puzzled, she did not hesitate to answer Lu Jingyao's question during the rest of her European journey: "Go north."
Lu Jingyao didn't refuse and said, "We can see the aurora if we go north."
The itinerary was set, and after leaving London they headed for Finland.
In Finland in March, the temperature in the south is normal, but the further north you go, the colder it gets.
[Dear host, you seem to have arrived at the location for the lucky find ahead of time. Do you still need the system's prompt? If you ignore the system's prompt, you will be exempted from the penalty for failing to find the lucky find once.]
Xu Youyou had just arrived in Finland and had no idea where the treasure she was going to find was. Even though what the system said was extremely tempting, she still shook her head.
"I don't have that ability." Xu Youyou said.
After the system flashed for a moment, a golden pointer appeared in the air.
Xu Youyou is now staying in a luxury house in Helsinki, which was booked in advance by Lu Jingyao. It is very close to Helsinki Cathedral and she originally planned to go to Helsinki Cathedral in half an hour.
Xu Youyou looked at the three-day deadline that popped up on the system and grabbed Lu Jingyao's hand on the spot: "I want to just wander around and go to church tomorrow, okay?"
