"What?" Arroyo thought she had misheard.

Finn looked at the young thief and repeated verbally, "We offer." ”

“…… How much do you want to report? ”

"Five hundred gold coins. Don't we have a check for a thousand gold coins? Quote five hundred gold coins. ”

The answer, consisting of quantifiers and monetary units, answers the inquirer clearly and is staggeringly straightforward.

Arroyo looked at Finn a few more times, and then guessed that Finn might want to try to redeem the poor little girl with the favor of Lachri, the goddess of luck, so he held up a sign with numerical and currency symbols written on it at the beginning of his seat.

Staff throughout the venue quickly noticed Arroyo's actions. In a few moments, the voice of the master of ceremonies from the booth announced loudly: "Oh, five hundred gold coins, someone here has bid five hundred gold coins for our little flower stamen!" ”

The air in the hall of the venue suddenly froze.

The eyes of the guests invariably paid attention to Finn's group. Three hundred and fifty gold coins to five hundred gold coins spanned one hundred and fifty gold coins, and the people present suddenly understood that a real cheetah had finally taken the lead in exposing itself at this moment, and showed its fangs full of deterrence to his potential opponents.

A short time had passed since Finn instructed Arroyo to make an offer, and the wooden hammer on the square table of the booth struck the first sound in the silent atmosphere of the venue, and the owner of the first box on the second floor of the venue made another move, and the guy who started pressed Arroyo's offer with five hundred and ten gold coins, but after that, the competitor from the fourth box from the left followed, offering five hundred and twenty gold coins.

"My lord, the rich people in the box seem to be competing with us." Sensing that something was wrong, Arroyo immediately reported his speculation to Finn.

"It's okay." Finn was indifferent and didn't seem to care, "We continue to offer." ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

"And the price this time?"

"Six hundred."

"Huh?!"

"Units are still gold coins."

"You... Are you sure? ”

"Do as I say."

Arroyo hesitated for a moment, and after confirming that Finn was not joking, he held up the price tag again, and the offer was exactly the six hundred gold coins that Finn had requested.

The master of ceremonies read out the latest offer of the six hundred gold coins in time, and the difference of sixty gold coins suddenly shook the air in the auction hall again, and an old wandering merchant from the Violet Kingdom was sitting in the ordinary seating area on the first floor, dumbfounded.

According to the interpretation of a veteran auctioneer, Finn's previous offer of 500 gold coins that Arroyo had previously instructed to show his mentality of being bound to win, or it could be purely a nouveau riche who had never seen the world and bid blindly without understanding anything. In order to find out the intention of the bidder of the five hundred gold coins, the rich men in two different boxes tentatively raised the price of ten gold coins one after another, wanting to see if the opponent who suddenly came out with the offer of five hundred gold coins was worthy of their attention.

It's just that they thought that the other party was likely to follow, but they didn't expect that the span of this heel was so large, and the difference between the two shots before and after just rounded up to a hundred, as if they were using mathematical laws and beauty to mock them.

There is only one explanation for this seemingly novice bidding behavior, and that is that this generous guy has eaten this round of sales.

The other party is either a money-spender trench or an out-and-out madman!

There was a commotion in the room, and the experienced veterans certainly knew that the price of six hundred gold coins was too high for a slave. Even if the slave was of great quality, as beautiful as amber dripping from the tip of a treetop, and as docile and harmless as an elk, a slave was a slave after all, and was not worth six hundred gold coins.

Of course, although many people sitting on the first floor of the venue have given up on the competition, their eyes have not completely lost interest in this round of bidding, and they have turned their attention to the dozen or so boxes on the second floor of the venue.

They believed that the rich man on the second floor would still play with this guy who didn't know what to do. If this result does not go as expected, then they have nothing to lose, after all, it is not a big deal to watch the excitement.

It didn't take long for the results they had expected to come out.

The wooden hammer on the stage struck the first sound as last time, and the bidder from the third box on the right handed the note with the quotation written on it to the master of ceremonies, and the whole auction was lifted from the beginning to the present.

It wasn't the offer of the third box from the right that set off the climax. The offer was very funny, six hundred gold coins and one silver coin, one more silver coin than Finn's bid, which would be a shame on the rich class in normal times, and it would make people laugh off their big teeth.

But the people in the hall on the first floor of the venue couldn't laugh at all, they only felt a strong sense of suffocation dominate the whole venue, because they saw that the bidders in the third box on the right on the second floor were followed by seven other bidders, and the first six of the seven people sent quotations were six hundred gold coins and zero two silver coins, six hundred gold coins and zero three silver coins, six hundred gold coins and zero four silver coins, six hundred gold coins and five silver coins, six hundred gold coins and zero six silver coins, and six hundred gold coins and seven silver coins. Finally, the bidder from the first box on the right at the end of the queue stamped the quotation of 650 gold coins to the end of this round of serial quotations.

"My lord, the rich people in the box are likely to join forces." Arroyo turned her head to stare at the second floor of the venue.

In the black market auction hall under the human kingdom of Ferdia, this kind of tacit serial bidding is not bidding at all, this is a declaration of war!

The owner of the first box from the right, together with the wealthy people in the other seven boxes, formed a coalition of money and declared war on their temporary common enemy. Finn's provocative bid had touched a sensitive nerve in the auction room, and they were now going to band together to give Finn a little color.

"Your Excellency, please think about it now." After forcing himself to keep his composure, Arroyo turned back to meet Finn's eyes, "Our current opponent is an alliance of eight rich people, are we going to continue to make offers?" ”

"I figured it out from the beginning." Finn's voice was as firm as it had been a few minutes ago, "Let's continue." ”

"The price?"

"Seven hundred."

The young thief took a breath.

He raised his head and exchanged glances with the equally nervous elven girl and swordsman youth on the side, hesitated for about two and a half seconds before raising the card again.

"Seven hundred gold coins! From the ordinary seat area, this dark horse broke out under our witness, he once again jumped to a new height! The amount of the quotation on the sign quickly reached the master of ceremonies, and the man in the black tuxedo immediately clenched the megaphone in his hand and shouted, "Hurengel's rich man, our honored guest, what is your response?" Where's your response?! ”

The master of ceremonies who presided over the scene roared excitedly, and even waved his arms passionately, trying to completely ignite the atmosphere of the venue. A squire from the suburbs felt that he was starting to breathe, and he sat in the ordinary seating area on the first floor, raised his hand tremblingly and loosened the scarf in front of his throat, and suddenly noticed that many men around him were doing the same as him.

The response of the Alliance of the Rich in the box on the second floor came relatively late this time. When the wooden hammer on the booth of the venue struck twice, the team of bidders who walked down the stairs from the second floor of the venue finally ran to the front of the stage surrounded by the expectant eyes of everyone.

The master of ceremonies took the notes from their hands in turn, and then announced to the entire venue the serial quotations of the rich people in this round of confrontation.

Seven hundred gold coins and one silver coin, seven hundred gold coins and two silver coins, seven hundred gold coins and three silver coins, seven hundred gold coins and four silver coins, seven hundred gold coins and five silver coins, and finally the owner of the first box on the right as the initiator of the alliance covered the offer of seven hundred and fifty gold coins as the end.

The rich people's serial offers still give people a huge sense of oppression, but careful people soon found that this round of the ring formation was missing two quarters, and it was not difficult to realize that there were two rich people with poor psychological quality who could not withstand the pressure and withdrew from this auction war.

But it doesn't matter.

The new price of seven hundred and fifty gold coins suppressed Finn's bid again, and the choice of the offer returned to Finn's hands, and the focus of the crowd's eyes returned to Finn's side, and the pressure returned to the shoulders of the young paladin.

"My lord, it's too late to stop." Arroyo cautiously examined Finn's expression and cautiously reminded him.

When the young thief reminded the young paladin, he could clearly perceive the speed of his heartbeat in his chest, and he knew that in the history of the Violet Kingdom, the peak value of a slave had fluctuated between seven hundred gold and eight hundred gold coins, and these peak values were rarely realized as transaction prices.

If the scope of statistics is broadened, the Faentan Empire on the southern coast of St. Fern has produced a slave princess worth a thousand gold coins. The noble slave girl used her depraved appearance and clever conspiracy to capture the heart of the contemporary Faentan Emperor Alexios I, who spent a lot of money to bring her back to the palace in his old age, and the woman who was as beautiful as a snake finally died on the way to the throne, and the person who discovered and quietly reported her plot to the emperor was none other than the then prince Alexios II the Younger, a cowardly child who pulled back his father's child from the edge of the cliff at a critical moment.

Since then, the princess of Faentan has been passed down as a local proverb meaning "the temptation of the serpent".

None of the people in the hall wanted to buy the half-elf girl kneeling in a cage on the booth as the next Faentan princess, but everyone didn't know what Fein was thinking.

The spectators in the hall didn't know, neither did the rich people in the box, not even Arya, Raymond, and Arroyo, who was good at observance.

The only person who really understood what Finn was thinking was himself.
