Finn's back was slightly bent, the elbows of his arms were supported on the armrests on both sides of the seat, ten fingers were interspersed and placed in front of his nose, and his eyes were turned away from the box on the second floor looking down at the half-fairy girl on the semi-circular venue booth, and he didn't seem to pay attention to the second wave of the rich people's serial offers, and just said to Arroyo calmly: "Go on." This time we quoted 800 gold coins. ”

Arroyo hesitated for a moment as much as she had last time. He knew that the person who was under a huge part of the pressure on the scene at this time was Finn, but he still felt an invisible hand reaching out out of nowhere and firmly pinching his heart, making him a little breathless.

From the time Finn instructed him to quote the first five hundred gold coins, he had somewhat guessed that Finn wanted to redeem the poor slave child on the stand, but he didn't expect that Finne's obsession was so terrifying, even if the current highest price had been raised to seven hundred and fifty gold coins, he still refused to stop.

"Gotcha...... Eight hundred gold coins, if eight hundred gold coins can't suppress those rich pigs, the adults should also retreat. After a while, Arroyo finally came up with a reason to convince herself, and then lifted the heavy price tag beside her for the fourth time.

The next second the sign was raised, the crowd on the first floor of the venue finally erupted like an active volcano waking up from a deep sleep. The noise of the crowd was a long and enthusiastic debate around this crazy auction war, some people insisted that Finn must be a nouveau riche who didn't know anything, and others thought that this young man who had detonated the scene step by step with his own hands probably had some unknown quirks, otherwise how could he be so obsessed with buying the little slave on the stage that he would rather bid for eight hundred gold coins than let go?

The rich people in the box had wanted to tease the dog with their spare money, but now it seemed that the rich people had clearly not expected that their teaser was not only crazier than they thought, but also not a dog, but a lion. The mad lion didn't cause them direct property damage, but it scared them enough to make the civilians on the first floor of the venue see enough of their jokes.

If it weren't for the anonymous bidding of this auction, they might have racked their brains to find a staircase for the family behind them.

Suddenly, just as the people in the hall of the venue were discussing whether the rich people in the box would continue to compete more, the bidder of the box on the second floor ran down the stairs to the first floor of the venue.

There was only one bidder sent by the rich people this time, and he didn't hold a note in his hand, but just ran up to the stage and whispered something in the ear of the emcee, and then walked quickly in the direction where Fein and his party were under the direction of the emcee.

"Sir, is it you who made the bid?" A staff member led people down the aisle on the first floor of the venue to Arroyo's seat and asked.

"I'm the one who made the bid." Finn turned his head and answered the man standing on the edge of the aisle for Arroyo, "We know each other, and I was the one who instructed this gentleman to quote just now and before, is there any problem with that?" ”

"No, that's in line with the rules of the venue, and of course you have the right to instruct someone else to bid on your behalf, and then you will pay for it yourself." The staff smiled politely, "It's just... The amount you are offering is simply too large and we expect you to show evidence that you own so much property. We're sorry, but we don't mean to be offended, but it's about the order of the auction and we hope you understand. ”

With that, the staff exchanged glances with each other, and then looked at Finn calmly in unison, waiting for the crazy shooter to prove to them that he was a well-behaved participant. If Finn didn't have that much money at all, then they could use maliciously disrupting order in the venue as a reason to blast Finn out of here.

The crowd in the venue suddenly found a new point of view, and the people around Finn, Arroyo, Raymond, and Arya's seats were looking forward to the embarrassing scene of Finn in front of them, and at the same time had to admire the sharp mental reactions of the rich people at this moment.

Thinking about it carefully, a bidder who was able to calmly bid five hundred gold coins for a slave in the first place must have sat in the box on the second floor, how could he run to the ordinary seating area to sit with them aggrievedly? This awkward suspicion should have been discovered by them a long time ago.

In this way, this stinky bastard must be a poor ghost from nowhere. He sneaks into the venue with the help of despicable means just to get over the rich man's addiction, and the staff of the venue will soon throw him back to the ground with their hands and feet! The spectators thought to themselves.

The man who came down on behalf of the League of the Rich already had a smug smile on his face that was celebrating the victory. He looked at the young man who was surrounded by the eyes of the staff and the crowd, and thought to himself, the other party couldn't really take out a big bag of money from the air in front of everyone, right?

He was ready to see with contempt what this bastard boy who had been against his master for so long could do, but he saw Finn nod to Arroyo, who then took out a piece of paper with a better texture from his body and handed it to the nearest staff member, who looked at the contents of the paper and turned around and ran back to the booth with a surprised expression.

It didn't take long for a while.

"Ahem...... Ladies and gentlemen, take a moment of your time. The master of ceremonies cleared his throat and picked up the megaphone in front of the hall, "Now, on behalf of the sponsors behind this auction, I would like to apologize to the esteemed gentleman just now. The unknown gentleman, I apologize for the offense I have just given you, and we now declare your offer valid. Your bid - the price of the 800 gold coins - is valid! ”

When the words fell, the crowd was in an uproar, and the whole venue was dumbfounded, and only after a long time did people's curious whispers resound.

"Hey, what did that young man show the staff?" Someone is asking, "Did any of you see that?" ”

"I just saw him give the staff a piece of paper." Someone answered.

"That's not just paper, that's a check! I used to work as an accountant for an aristocratic lord, and I know what a check looks like. ”

"So, I just saw a number on that check. That's the amount of the check? ”

"Probably that's it. How big is that number? ”

"One... Thousand! ”

"What?!"

While the crowd was talking, the staff with checks in their hands also ran quickly down the aisle of the venue that they had just walked back and forth to the position of Finn and his party. The staff member stood next to Arroyo, respectfully bent down and handed the check in both hands, and Arroyo then retrieved it from his hand.

The bidder who was sent down by the rich people was dumbfounded at this point. When he learned that Finn had Arroyo take out a check for a thousand gold coins from his body, he felt like his jaw was about to fall off and hit the ground hard.

"Why are you staying? Report to your master. Seeing that the arrogant bidder was still standing stupidly next to his seat, Arroyo felt an indescribable refreshment in his heart, and immediately raised his eyebrows proudly at the leg of the rich man who seemed to have seriously impacted the three views.

Only then did the sluggish bidder react to Arroyo's taunt, so he hurriedly turned around and ran back to the stairs leading to the second floor of the venue, and when he turned around, he didn't forget to glare at the thief young man who had just taken advantage of the corner of his mouth from him.

The auction continued for about another minute in the current atmosphere. The hammer bearer on the table thought for a moment and felt that it was almost time to strike the first wooden hammer, when the bidder hurried down from the second floor with a note a minute earlier.

After the bidder ran up to the booth and handed the note to the master of ceremonies, the master of ceremonies' eyes flashed with obvious shock when he looked at the note, looked up and asked the bidder if he was sure that he had done so, and then raised his head and shouted, "Nine hundred gold coins!" The latest offer from the first box on the second floor from the right - 900 gold coins! ”

The roar of the master of ceremonies almost broke the last "nine hundred gold coins", and the last syllable fell into the crater like a blazing fireball, blowing up the crowd that had long been unable to continue to calm down.

"Crazy! Completely insane! The people in the venue could no longer calm down, they felt that the reason in the venue had evaporated with the heat wave of this round of bidding, and there were only two crazy wills left in the air in the stadium.

Of course, from the return attack of the 900 gold coin offer, it is not difficult for people to find that the other five rich people in the previous round have all retreated from the loose alliance front, and the serial quotations that should have continued to appear have turned into this lonely strong counterattack, and the only person who is still unwilling to surrender and admit defeat is the original starter, this rich man who also went crazy with Finn must have learned the information that Finn has a check for 1,000 gold coins in hand, and now he wants to use the ultra-high price of 900 gold coins to launch the final decisive battle against Finn!

The intent contained in these nine hundred gold coins had been made clear to the point that it was as white as paper, and the owner of the first box on the right on the second floor stabbed Finn with naked actions without embellishment, trying to force the last chips in Finn's hand onto the table.

Surrounded by the dense sight of the crowd, the choice left for Finn in this round of bidding has also become simpler.

He could have stopped there, it would have made him look like he was a bastard at a critical time, but it would have cost the guy who had bid for nine hundred gold coins in blood, and the little slave girl on the booth wasn't necessarily what he really wanted.

Of course, he can also continue to raise the price, whether it is a thousand gold coins or nine hundred and one gold coins. The choice is in his hands, the difference is only that nine hundred and one gold coins may be pressed back, and one thousand gold coins are safer, and it is also the trump card at the bottom of the box.

Arroyo raised his hand and twisted the clothes on his chest, an uncontrollable tension soaked his whole body, and he felt sweat soak from his forehead, but he also knew that this round of auction competition that was about to evolve to the realm of "fighting" was not yet over.

Finn, the one who decides whether or not this fight continues. Looking at the young paladin companion beside him, Arroyo pinched his waist hard to sober himself up, then looked directly at the latter's sideways face and asked, "My lord, we... Do you want to continue? ”

"Go on." Finn's answer was still unshakable, and he didn't hesitate as before, "This time, we will quote the price as high as possible, and we will let the opponent who bites us last die completely." ”

After tapping his fingers a few times on the armrest of his seat, Finn suddenly noticed that Arroyo hadn't done what he had told him to do this time.

"Arroyo?" The young paladin shifted his gaze to the thief youth, blinked strangely, raised his hand and shook it in front of the latter.

"That's enough, sir...... We have done our best. In the middle of the night, Arroyo grabbed the hand of the young paladin from mid-air, "Please be sensible...... You know perfectly well that you can save a poor little girl today, but tomorrow there will be thousands of strangers in deep suffering, and you have no choice but to do so, if not even know. Let's save that money first, shall we? This money should be spent where it is more useful, and the righteous God will surely understand your suffering. ”

With that, he quietly stared at the young man in front of him, whom he respected, waiting for the latter to make the compromise that a wise man should make. Like many mature politicians who know when to retreat, he believes that Finn has the most basic sanity in his head.

Five seconds later-

"You're right." Finn's cheeks curled into a gentle smile, "But I refuse." ”

"Why?" The thief youth looked puzzled, "My lord, your wisdom and courage have always attracted me to follow you voluntarily, why are you confused at this time?" ”

"Because... I can't do it. The young paladin paused, a bitter smile on his face that was difficult to detect, and his determined eyes replied to the thief youth's confusion with sincerity, "Now, Arroyo, do you know the Moon Sword Saint Perometheus?" ”

"The old Mithril Knight, who used to be called a model of the Paladin by the Church, who was later voluntarily killed by Roderick the Silver Lion due to the collapse of his faith, and is now buried in the depths of the Dagger Forest?" Arroyo asked back.

He didn't know the history of the Templar very well, but he still knew some of the famous representatives in it.

"Yes." Finn nodded. "The Moon Sword Saint in history planted the root of his depravity because of his first concession to evil, and finally fell to the bleak end of the collapse of faith and asking the silver lion Roderick to grant him relief. Reflecting on the lesson of the Moon Sword Master, if I give in to the traffickers hiding behind this auction today, I will have a reason to continue to make concessions to other ugly things tomorrow, and this kind of compromise is unforgivable cowardice to me. ”

"So, in order to fulfill this courage at all times, do you even sacrifice your life?" Arroyo couldn't help but ask.

"Sacrifice is a last resort, but if the enemy I have to face has made me do everything I can, then a glorious sacrifice is the sublimation of my soul." Finn raised his head slightly and replied slowly, "At that time, I will be able to say with a clear conscience that I have dedicated my purest faith to the cause of justice, and I have no regrets in my life. ”

Instead of waiting for Arroyo to say something like, "Okay, I understand you," Finn reached for the price tag placed next to the latter's seat, bringing his hand to the end of the ugly slave trade.

Another five seconds passed.

Finn's hand was about to touch the wooden handle of the sign. At this time, Arroyo took the sign from Finn's hand first, sighed in front of Finn's surprised eyes and said, "My lord, I... served. ”

Finn was stunned.

At the same time, he felt a soft hand resting on his back shoulder.

Finn looked back at Arya and Raymond. He found that the elven girl and the young swordsman were speechless, but they all looked at him with a special look.

It is a look of awe, regardless of age and prestige, which purely expresses the recognition and respect of the other person in their hearts, and with this sincere emotion, they instill a kind of spiritual support to the person they recognize and respect.

"Do what we all think is right." After a while, Arya looked at Finn and withdrew her hand from Finne's shoulder, "We have the same idea, but only you have the courage to do it, don't you?" ”

With that, she and the future Juggernaut next to her glanced at each other, and then smiled at Fain in affirmation.

For a moment, Finn suddenly felt his eyes moisten.

From the very beginning, when he awoke in this strange world that was both familiar and unfamiliar, he arrived at the military fortress of Faentan called Ork with confusion and uneasiness, and escaped to Dawnwind City with a dragon attack when he almost hit the ground. On the way to escape, the only person who accompanied him was Lilith, and after that, he met Arroyo, Arya, and Raymond one after another, but he never noticed that his friends in this life did not laugh at his ideals like the clever players in his previous life.

In his online gaming career in his previous life, the Paladin was not a popular profession among the player circles of the Ferdia continent, because this profession had to adhere to the camp tendencies of orderliness and kindness, in short, he had to be a very good person.

In that virtual online game environment where everyone is black-hearted, another layer of interpretation of the good guy is that the fool, and players who are not Paladin professions will sometimes even resort to the dirty means of persuading them to quit, abandoning them, or even stabbing them in the back to prevent their fellow Paladins from earning some shady benefits, and then use the rigidity and naivety of the victims as an excuse for moral code, whether against NPCs or players.

However, in this life, the friends gathered around him have never denied his ideals. He suddenly realized that he was not alone after coming into this world.

"My lord, time is running out, tell me your price this time." Arroyo took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing, "Like last time, you come and I'll report it." ”

“…… Well. After making a brief eye contact with his companion in front of him, Finn nodded cautiously.

Subsequently -

"Arroyo, bet all your chips."

"As you wish."

The words between master and slave complete the communication between the two consciousnesses in just two seconds. The fate of the half-fairy girl on the booth was not yet sealed, and at this moment, after a period of waiting, the wooden hammer on the booth sounded the first reminder in the noisy venue, and the price tag raised in Arroyo's hand followed, dazzling like a torch in the dark.

"A thousand gold coins!" The master of ceremonies' voice roared out again, "There are no words that can modify this number, and any word to describe shock is pale in front of this number!" All we need now is to know that the gentleman we questioned not long ago offered a thousand gold coins! He slapped all of us in the face – congratulations on hitting all of us in the face! ”

The man standing at the booth screamed almost with a tremolo as he shouted the price, and the whole person was on the verge of - or rather - going crazy.

The price of a half-goblin slave can be raised to five hundred gold coins, which is already a big profit, but at this time, a certain local tyrant who was on the scene actually bid a thousand gold coins, doubling the price of this earned, how can this not be exciting and exciting?

"A thousand! He really quoted a thousand gold coins! The crowd boiled.

"Manning is on top, he doesn't take money seriously at all!"

"But he snatched the right back! Violence with money! ”

"This madman!"

"What about the rich man?! Does he dare to follow?! ”

"Knock"

The wooden hammer struck the first blow in the frenzy of the masses. The faint sound sank into the sea like a stone, and no one heard the sound of the wooden hammer striking on the base, but the people in the first row of the hall were sensible enough to pass the news to the people in the second row, and the second row to the third row, and the live information on the booth spread quickly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the staircase leading to the second floor of the venue.

However, two minutes passed, and the hammer bearer waited deliberately for so long at the behest of the meeting, and there was no news from the box.

"The rich are scared away!" Someone roared.

"That young man won!"

"Unbelievable!"

"Don't make a fuss, the second hammer is going to come down! Second hammer! ”

"Knock"

The second hammer sounded.

As the news was delivered, the people in the hall closed their mouths one after another from the front row to the back row, and no one was nervous, and no one wanted to witness the future that had been tacitly understood.

Silence took over the scepter in an instant, and the space under the dome of the venue was as silent as ice, as silent as death.

"Knock"

Finally, the third hammer sounded.

"Deal-!!"
