Chapter 140: The Knight Emperor

"Now, the last item of this monthly underground auction is about to be auctioned!"

When the cage was pushed behind the trading desk, a mysterious smile appeared on Daggins' face, and he said, "I believe that many traders present know that there is a race of 'beasts' on the Noranda continent. ”

"But there are also two classifications of bestials!"

"One is a gnoll, kobold, bear-man, with the head of a beast and the trunk of a humanoid!"

"The other is to have the appearance of a human being, and some of the bestial features!"

"Since the latter kind of beasts have a special appearance that is quite favored by some people, such beasts have become one of the best commodities in the eyes of slave traders, and can often be sold for hundreds or thousands of times the price of ordinary slaves!"

"So this kind of beast people have been captured for a long time in history, and they are almost extinct on the Noranda continent so far!"

"Now, it can only be that some of the great nobles are still secretly keeping a small number of such beasts in captivity!"

When Darkins said this, the crowd in the audience showed thoughtful looks, as if they all knew what was in the cage.

"But today!"

As he said this, Daggins turned around and reached out to grab the edge of the thick black cloth covering the cage and pulled it to the side!

"We are honored to be entrusted with the auction of one of these bestial slaves!"

"Everyone, look!"

When the thick black cloth was lifted, they were greeted by a little girl, a little girl who looked to be seven or eight years old at most!

She was curled up in the corner of the wide cage, wearing a very ill-fitting one-piece gray dress, her little head half wrapped in the hood of the dress, and the exposed half of her delicate face was a little dirty. At this time, she was looking at the crowd watching the commotion under the stage with frightened eyes, and her small body trembled uncontrollably.

And when Daggins reached out and ripped off the hood that wrapped around the little girl's head, the crowd in the audience let out a low exclamation at the same timeβ€”the little girl's chestnut hair revealed two furry cat-like pointed ears!

Daggins' voice rang out at the right time: "That's right, as you can see, this beast is a baby catwoman!"

"According to the seller, she was caught from those dense overseas islands off the coast! This has also been confirmed by the underground exchange, so traders don't have to worry about her coming from the wrong way!"

β€œ......”

"Her body has a flexibility that ordinary humans can't match, and she can do many movements that ordinary people can't do......"

β€œ......”

"With a little domestication, I promise she can ......"

In the sound of Daggins's gushing explanation, the eyes of many traders in the audience flashed violently, obviously tempted!

In the crowd, Muse who saw that the finale was a catwoman was unmoved, and even shook his head and prepared to turn away.

With the knowledge that Muse had once had as a Grand Arcanist, he even knew some of the deepest secrets of the beast-man race.

Now beasts are indeed divided into two categories as Daggins said, but in fact, in the ancient era, that is, at that time of the "glorious age", there was no second type of beasts!

At that time, there were only beasts such as jackals, kobolds, and bears on the Noranda continent, and this kind of beasts were creatures that reproduced naturally!

At this time, the second type of bestial man that the world is talking about is simply artificially made!

The second type of beasts originated from the forbidden experiments of wizards during the "Wizard's Plague", where wizards mixed human and animal bloodlines in order to cultivate servants with special purposes for use in warfare against the gods, and there are records of such forbidden experiments by wizards in some ancient texts......

By the way, the Ancient Evil is one of the results of such forbidden experiments conducted by wizards......

Of course, there were such taboo experiments during the Arcane Empire, and there was even an Arcane Emperor who studied this aspect......

By the time Muse turned to leave, Daggins had already announced the auction price for this Catwoman: "The starting price is 8,000 gold coins!"

"Each increase must not be less than a thousand gold coins!"

Almost as soon as Daggins' voice fell, the voice of the first bidder sounded: "Eight thousand gold coins!"

Then, the sound of bidding almost became one, and the price soon exceeded 10,000 gold coins.

Shaking his head, the muse's footsteps became faster because of this, with the help of some small spells, he moved quickly in the crowd like a swimming fish, and soon he was almost from the front of the crowd to the back of the middle, and in a few strokes he was about to break away from the crowd and disappear without a trace!

At this time, the muse was already silently thinking about some other things, which undoubtedly concentrated most of his spirit.

Therefore, the muse could realize that the sudden fluttering of light blonde hair in his field of vision was completely an accident within an accident!

"Uh-huh!!" The muse snapped to his feet, then looked around, but the dense crowd was the perfect obstacle to block his view.

In fact, the muse didn't know if he saw anything, but his heart jumped inexplicably, but countless experiences told him that it was definitely his subconscious perception that caught some noteworthy clues!

"If I'm really not mistaken......"

As he walked again, the Muse silently commanded in his heart, "Eliyah, Eliah!"

"Start Concept Scan!"

"The scanning range is ten yards centered on me!"

β€œ......”

"Extract the memory image!"

"Compare logic!"

As a glimmer of dark golden light flashed in the muse's eyes, a faint scanning aura spread out covertly.

At this time, the muse had already walked out of the crowd, and in a few walks, it had disappeared without a trace......

A moment later, the muse was already standing on a hidden high place very far away from the viewing platform, and his eyes were focused on the crowd in front of the viewing platform, three in black robes, but they couldn't hide the armored figures under the black robes at all!

To be precise, the muse is looking at the petite man who is faintly caught in the middle of the three people!

Placing his palm on his heart, the muse bowed slightly, an ancient knightly salute that had been passed down in the Northlands, and said silently: "Grand Arcanist of the Arcane Empire, Muse Newton, salute you!"

"Guardian of mortals, keepers of mortal hearts, rulers of mortal natures......"

"The pioneer of the power of mortality, the practitioner of the path of mortality, and the leader of the knight of mortality......"

"Arcane Emperor - [Knight Emperor]!"

"Artoria Lane!"
