Chapter 183: Lie down and sweep ......
......
Not to mention how confident Viscount Taylor was, on the other hand, after Viscount Taylor left, the atmosphere between Wu Hui and the others became a little weird.
Except for Jimmy, who was always obsessed with deducing alchemy and didn't pay attention to his surroundings at all, the others couldn't help but look at Blake.
"Tsk~ This lord is quite good at doing things, and he actually gave a five-percent discount directly, which is clearly about to slap you. Wu Hui laughed and teased, "In my opinion, you might as well buy this little mermaid, you can not only be a bodyguard, but also warm the bed, how cost-effective~"
"Big brother, don't entertain me~" Blake instantly made a bitter face, "You don't know, in addition to the normal expenses of supporting the county, the rest of the money has been contributed to my lord, where is the remaining money? What's more, this is a high-level kraken, even if I buy it, I can't control it~"
He is self-aware. Don't look at this little mermaid who looks delicate and weak, the force value can definitely crush ten of him.
Seeing his expression, everyone else couldn't help but be happy.
Liliana couldn't help but smile, but the smile was fleeting.
Her gaze was fixed on the pale and weak mermaid girl, and her eyes were filled with sadness.
Back then, if it weren't for the godfather James, who couldn't bear it, he bought her from the slave owner when she just turned 6 years old, and when she grew up to be thirteen or fourteen years old, I was afraid that she would not be able to escape the same fate as this little kraken, right?
What about being extremely talented? Once you become a slave, you can't just be slaughtered?
She closed her eyes and sighed slightly: "If any of you have money, let's buy her~ With her status, once she falls into the hands of those nobles, she will inevitably become a plaything." ”
Wu Hui and the three of them spoke for a moment, and couldn't help but look at each other.
Sister Nana didn't give back an expression of "I will chop you if I dare to buy it" just now, why did she suddenly change her hexagram at this time? Sure enough, the woman's heart is full of needles, and she can't understand it~ I don't understand it~
The three of them sighed in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces, but nodded in agreement.
"Sister Nana is right. This Siren girl is so pitiful, how can she fall into the hands of those lustful ~ lustful obscene ~ trivial nobles?"
Wu Hui looked at Blake as he spoke, paused, and then moved his gaze to Daniel next to him.
Daniel sighed: "Most of the money I brought is dedicated to my lord, and there are still more than a hundred gold Franks left in the space ring, you can take them if you need them." ”
However, everyone knows that compared with the crazy bidding of those nobles, these more than 100 gold Franks are just a drop in the bucket, not enough at all.
As he spoke, his gaze couldn't help but fall on Wu Hui.
Blake also reacted instantly, and looked at Wu Hui expectantly: "Big brother, are you rich?"
“......”
Under the expectant gaze of the two, Wu Hui couldn't help coughing: "I don't have any money." ”
If he wanted to be rich, he would have made a bid just now, so why wait until now? After all, he was not one of those nobles, and he had to worry about the revenge of the Kraken clan.
The three of you, you look at me, I look at you, and there was an eerie silence for a while.
The corners of Liliana's mouth twitched, and she looked at the three of them with a strange expression: "One of you is the first heir to the throne of the principality, the grandson of a duke, and one of you has been talking about 'someone above' all day long, and you have no money?"
"This ...... Accident ~ Accident ~ "
Wu Hui touched his nose in embarrassment. He is a dignified god, except for the occasional tooth sacrifice where he doesn't spend money at all, where can he carry so much money with him?
What's more, with this crazy posture now, even if he really takes all the family background of the Bright Sect, he may not be able to compete with these people.
After all, these who are still bidding are all great nobles with a long heritage, and in terms of wealth, they are not at all comparable to him, a nouveau riche who has just made his fortune.
In the short time they had spoken, the Siren's bid price had skyrocketed again.
Blake turned his head to look at it, and couldn't help sighing: "It's crazy~ It seems that this beautiful kraken girl is destined to miss us." ”
Hearing this, Liliana's expression did not change, but there was a touch of gloom in her slightly drooping eyes.
From the beginning of this slave auction, her mood has been very depressed.
She vaguely remembers the days when she was kept in captivity in a slave market. At that time, she was still very young, and many of her memories were blurred, but she still vividly remembered the depression, despair, fear, wailing, and seemingly never-ending hunger that hung over her...... It's like hell.
If it were possible, she hoped that there would be no more slaves in this world.
But she also knows that it is too difficult, too difficult to do this......
"Wu Hui, you have always had a lot of ghost ideas. Can you think of a solution?" Liliana asked suddenly, glancing at the stone urn in the center of the banquet hall.
"How...... Not for nothing. ”
Wu Hui rubbed his chin, and a certain thought in his mind became clearer and clearer.
In fact, when the slave auction had just begun, he had a vague idea of this, but he never made up his mind. The current situation helped him to make up his mind.
"What's the solution?"
Liliana didn't have any hope at all, but when she heard the words, she breathed a breath, and a touch of anticipation instantly rose in her eyes.
"We'll be like this later...... Such...... ...... like this"
Wu Hui casually laid out a soundproof cover and roughly explained his plan.
Liliana listened frequently, and her eyes gradually revealed excitement.
Neil and Steward Jem were a little stunned at first, but quickly eased up and nodded their heads to indicate that they would cooperate.
"Big brother, wouldn't this be too ......" Blake hesitated.
"Brother, prudence is a good thing, there is no need to be timid. Wu Hui patted him on the shoulder, "Anyway, we have already been blacklisted by many big nobles, and we are not bad for these few." ”
As he spoke, the auction of the Siren Maiden had come to an end, and most of the bidders had already withdrawn from the competition, leaving only the butler of the Marquis of Black Forest Castle and the mysterious visitor from the imperial capital still bidding one after another.
The auction has entered the final stage of competition.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall was extremely hot, and the bidding price of the Siren Maiden had been raised to more than four thousand gold Frank's manor and minerals.
Looking at the fiery atmosphere in the banquet hall, Viscount Taylor didn't feel happy at all, but became more and more anxious, and couldn't help but look at the location of Wu Hui and the others frequently.
"Master, I haven't bid yet, could it be that this Earl of Black can't even look down on the girls of the high-ranking Kraken clan?" the butler was worried, "If that's the case, we ......"
"No way. Viscount Taylor interrupted him abruptly, his tone categorical, "No one can resist the temptation of the High Kraken. ”
However, although he said it hardly, he couldn't help but have some gains and losses in his heart.
What if Earl Black really doesn't make a bid?
If this really happens, then he will really steal chickens and rice today.
In the midst of the tense waiting, it seems that time has passed extraordinarily long.
Seeing that the bids of the two sides of the final competition were getting slower and slower, and they were getting slower and slower, Viscount Taylor finally couldn't hold back any longer, and stood up and walked to the position of Wu Hui and the others.
However, it is at this very moment.
"Hum~"
The shrill sound of strings like scraping glass suddenly resounded in the banquet hall.
This sound is like it can penetrate the eardrum and sound directly in people's heads, making people's scalps explode.
In an instant, the fiery auction atmosphere in the banquet hall was broken.
Everyone turned their heads in amazement, but saw that the white-robed young man who came in with Earl Black was Shi Ran putting down the strange instrument in his hand, straightening his clothes, and slowly standing up from the sofa.
In an instant, his whole temperament changed drastically.
If he was just personable and temperamental just now, at this moment he has added seven points of majesty, just like the apostle under the throne of God, glorious and holy, awe-inspiring and inviolable.
This young man is naturally Wu Hui.
"You ......" a nobleman frowned, and opened his mouth to reprimand.
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wu Hui.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is something I would like to announce now. Wu Hui dusted off his sleeves as he spoke, and he was calm, "The Bright Sect has banned the slave trade from now on, in accordance with the oracle of my lord. Where the light of our Lord shrouds in, all men are equal, and there are no more slaves. Everyone lie down for me, now start sweeping pornography~"
This remark may seem like an understatement, but it is resounding.
When the words fell, everyone's faces changed instantly.
"What?"
"Where the hell did this kid get the guts?"
"Also, he, what is he going to do? sweep, sweep 'yellow'?"
Although many people don't understand what it means to sweep pornography, they can guess it with their toes in combination with the current context.
Many guests at the scene were shocked and annoyed, and they all looked at Wu Hui who was shooting the case with a foolish look.
Among the many guests present, which one was not a high-ranking nobleman? But here, no one dares to call themselves arrogant.
You must know that the rich and noble people who can attend this party are all people with heads and faces outside, and it will be a big trouble to get into any of them. Especially Viscount Taylor, who presided over this party, is an existence that cannot be provoked.
Don't look at him as just a viscount, he only controls the area of Port Amplo and a few surrounding towns, but his influence in underground trade is probably much greater than that of an earl.
You must know that Viscount Taylor is not a hereditary viscount inherited by relying on family power. But after a knighthood obtained through meritorious service and bribery, it took more than ten years of collusion between officials and businessmen to climb to today's status.
Not to mention that he is in the Thorn Ridge, even if you look at the entire empire, and even on the enemy countries and the sea, there is his complex network of relationships. Especially those evil forces lurking in the shadows, they have all been befriended by him with a lot of money.
Therefore, if anyone dares to make trouble in Viscount Taylor's territory, especially when he is doing business, even if he escapes for a while, he may not be able to sleep peacefully in this life.
Now this stunned young man who came here with Earl Black, what does he actually want to represent the newly revived Holy See of Light, ban the slave trade, and confiscate all the illegal gains present?
This, what are you kidding?
