In the palatial hall, the candles are lit, and the nobles from the imperial capital are arguing over the ownership of the girl in the demonized cage.

After all, Her Royal Highness the princess they invited did not come, and they didn't have to worry about any face.

At least, for now.

"Bartos, give it to me, I can withdraw from the pursuit of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”

A tall aristocratic blonde young man in a cumbersome costume gave a weight to the young man opposite who was also not inferior to his clothes,

Bartos, on the other hand, looked at Jason, the second heir to the Duke of the Imperial Sword, and said with a cold smile.

"Jason, I can quit too, so will you let me?"

Obviously, the two do not give in to each other, and the price they offer each other is not worth mentioning, after all, the eldest princess has a fiancé.

And such a superb dragonborn maid, whether it is given away or collected, is the best treasure in the aristocratic circle, and they will not let go easily.

Jason, the blond young man, looked at the dragon girl in the cage and licked his lips greedily.

"Then what will you do to let me?"

"In this way, the auction, the highest price will win, this should be reasonable, and the money from the auction will be divided equally by everyone. ”

Bartos, the second son of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is clearly quite business-minded.

"Then it's decided!"

Jason thought about it carefully, and finally felt that this was more reasonable, after all, it was not easy to score.

So, an auction with only one goods began quietly under the candlelight in the banquet hall.

......

When Gordon turned into a black cat with a deft step, he avoided the not-so-strict guards, and came to the terrace on the second floor of the manor, where he squatted on the terrace, and through the stained glass windows, he could see that the banquet below had reached its climax.

However, it could not be disturbed by the sounds of the outside world, as its attention was already on the glass case placed on the high stage of the banquet staircase.

No, to be precise, the Dragonborn Maiden in a glass case.

Although her body structure and color are a little different from the original Nina, Gordon is extremely sure? That's Nina.

After all? Even if she is a dragon, her original appearance can still be seen? And the overall temperament is not because of the dragon tail? And the change is still delicate and simple.

After seeing Nina without incident? Gordon was relieved.

But when it began to hear that the people were eager to bid, the high bidder would.

Pupils slightly constricted? The red that had just dissipated began to permeate his eyes again.

The banquet hall below is still lively.

"Three thousand. ”

"Three thousand one. ”

...... Shouts like this rang out in the hall.

But that's not the end of the story? You know, those guys haven't made a move yet.

"I'll give you 5,500 gold coins! ”

A silver-haired young man raised his hand with a smile and grinned, adding more weight to the goods on the stage.

Instantly let the goods that temporarily become "angels"? Prices have multiplied by a third.

"The Torrett family is really rich? Even the pocket money of the third in line is richer than those of us. ”

Some people sneered, but others were quick to respond.

"After all, their family controls a lot of iron ore and transportation, and it's normal to have money, but he shouldn't be so irrational? Do you want to grab them with Jason?"

Before they even started their conversation, they discovered that there was something more eye-catching than the price.

That is? The dragonborn girl in the demonized cage has awakened!

Screams and whistles of surprise? Simultaneous in the banquet hall.

Nina, who had just woken up, was a little unclear.

Blue liquid in a glass case? Already absorbed by her? That? She felt like she was in the water right now.

But Nina didn't feel any discomfort, just like in the air in the water.

But before Nina had time to feel the changes in her body carefully, she realized that she was actually in a luxurious hall, and her position was in plain sight.

Nina, who had never experienced it like this, even subconsciously curled up, using her hands and feet and the unskilled dragon tail to roll herself into a ball.

The voices from the outside were louder, and they were about to lift the roofs, but the same was true for the other estates on Queen's Road, which were also some distance apart, so it didn't affect anyone.

Nina's awakening also made the enthusiasm of the auction higher and higher, and with the end of those main forces, the price of this dragonborn maid soared to an eye-popping price.

You can even exchange it for the price of a magical artifact.

What they didn't notice, though.

I don't know when, I can faintly hear the sound of music from other manors, I don't know when, it's gone.

Outside, the blue night has also turned into a dark night sky, and the dim stars are hidden in the shadows and blend together.

The black cat squatting on the terrace, on the wall, the shadow of the cat reflected by the candle flame, also quietly changed in the sound of price increase.

First, the shadow of the cat exploded, and it became an indescribable monster shadow.

Then the striking four horns and the myriad of head spikes appeared in the shadows, then a pair of dark golden vertical pupils slowly opened and closed below, the slender dragon tail and wings flung out of the bloated shadows, and then the huge body wrapped in matte black scales.

Outside the window, the terraces were a little overwhelmed and creaking.

"Six thousand seven. Jason shouted with a frenzied face.

The slender dragon shadow tidied up his appearance in the mirror of the terrace, and jumped off the terrace like a gentleman.

"Seven thousand!" said Bartos, the second son of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, without hesitation.

However, as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by an indifferent voice from outside the door.

"100 million!"

The magnificent loud sound made dozens of nobles and servants in the entire banquet hall all look in the direction of the door.

If you want to see who dares to make trouble at their banquet, 100 million gold coins can buy the territory of several countries, even if you want to open a country, it is enough to hire those who are the most greedy real dragons.

And Jason shouted in anger.

"Who is it! 100 million gold coins?

"It's just a small goal. ”

The person came jokingly.

"You can get it just by scraping it together, right?

The heavy door was opened, but instead of opening it in the normal way, it was directly knocked down by a huge force, and the paved floor fell down.

As the door fell, several dark figures were thrown into the hall.

The sharp-eyed Jason and the others naturally saw that these corpses were all servants guarding the door.

How so?
