Section 158 Auction House (5)
"He is Mr. Sith of the Istu Auction House, don't look at the people who are not good-looking, but the level is the top in the mainland, and the goods that are not the top do not dare to work at all. ****
See the people behind him? Those four magicians and those eighth-level warriors were enough to deter people with ulterior motives! ”
Castro's eyes also became hot, and Moon Shadow was also looking forward to the so-called top-of-the-line goods.
When Mr. Sith walked to the auction table, there was a warm applause from the surrounding boxes, and for a moment, the applause was thunderous and deafening, and Moon Shadow wanted to use a soundproof spell to isolate the box, but seeing that old Castro also applauded gracefully, she had to endure it.
Probably Mr. Sith couldn't bear this kind of overly enthusiastic applause, he stretched out his hands and pressed down slightly, the applause stopped abruptly, the audience fell silent, and Moon Shadow's ears were finally liberated.
Mr. Seath then gave his usual opening remarks, followed by a long round of applause, and after a pause in applause, the auction finally began.
The first item is fourteen dwarven craftsmen.
The skills of dwarven craftsmen in creating weapons and equipment are well-known on the mainland, and most of the main craftsmen of the Emperor's Armament Department are from the dwarf race. In recent years, the Beamon Empire has been expanding its army on a large scale, and the lords whose fiefdoms are adjacent to the Beamon Empire are all in danger.
Although due to the relevant laws of the empire, the nobles did not dare to expand the private army at will, but privately improving the equipment of the private army could be done with money, so these craftsmen were highly favored. ^^Starting^^
As for the arms manufacturers, arms has always been the most lucrative business, and they will never mind recruiting more craftsmen, and these craftsmen are inevitable.
As a result, the auction was full of gunpowder from the start. The price climbed from 8,000 gold coins, and in the end, it was successfully auctioned by a chamber of commerce for 86,000 gold coins.
"The Smail Chamber of Commerce specializes in providing weapons to the military. Almost all of the skill slaves in each auction were auctioned by them. Castro said, rubbing his beard.
"Why didn't Your Excellency the President participate in the auction?" Moon Shadow asked.
"Weapons don't have a lot of money in the Chamber of Commerce's business, and I buy and sell them again. This craftsman is of little use to me, not worth it. Castro smiled and shook his head.
"Then why are you participating in the auction this time?" Moon Shadow asked.
"There is no specific purpose."
Castro took a sip of tea and said: "Every auction item can only be known at the meeting, maybe there will be any surprises, anyway, the annual membership fee must be paid." ”
As he spoke, several more items were auctioned.
"Now, the auction is a long-awaited item."
Mr. Sith waved his hand behind him from the stage, and four samurai carried a square object covered in a black cloth to the auction table. Gently place in the middle of the table.
Mr. Sith stood in front of the object: "What is this?" Ah---- some of you have already guessed it! ”
He jerked open the black cloth: "From the Beamon Empire, the darling of the god of war Campas, Fox girl!" ”
Underneath the black cloth was an iron cage, and in the corner of the cage was a girl who was not as beautiful as a human being. Fox Girl translated into the continental lingua franca. It means fox, and these Beamon orcs are almost no different from humans except for their racial characteristics. Behind this Fox girl, there is a fluffy tail, which is not only scary, but cute.
Seeing the fox girl in the cage, many nobles showed naked, obscene eyes in their eyes, but those members of the major chambers of commerce behaved more gentlemanly.
Moon Shadow glanced at Castro deliberately. There was no such **** in the eyes of this old man, but there was a bit of pity.
I don't know if he found that Moon Shadow was observing him, or if he wanted to explain something, Castro sighed: "Since the Beamon Empire has repeatedly provoked incidents on the border, the human country has issued a mission through the mercenary union, allowing the mercenary group to organize itself to enter the Beamon Empire, and all seizures are legal. This fox girl is probably the trophy of a mercenary group. ”
Moon Shadow was dumbfounded. Asked incredulously, "Is that okay?" ”
"Absolutely."
Castro patiently explained to the little white next to him----
Slaves are usually used from the following sources: forced captivity, prisoners of war, abduction, prisoners, and human trafficking.
The edicts of the Dryth Empire are also relatively severe, and the abduction and abduction are against the laws of the Empire. Once discovered, severe punishment will not be slackened. However, after the Mercenary Guild issued that mission, the local captives that took place in the Bimon Empire were legalized---- treating them like prisoners of war.
Moon Shadow sighed silently, maybe she could help the fox girl in front of her out of her tragic fate, but there were many more slaves facing the same fate, she was not the savior, and it was impossible to solve all the problems.
Just when His Excellency President Castro was making up for the lessons, the auction in the field had already entered a state of white-knuckle battle, and several nobles were almost about to go into battle shirtless, and in the end, a pot-bellied nobleman returned with beauty at the price of 78,000 gold coins. Moon Shadow couldn't help but feel sorry for the previous dwarven craftsmen, and the dozen or so of them sold for less than 10,000 gold coins more than the fox girl.
However, Kitsune was obviously not the finale of the night, and when the last item appeared on the auction table, everyone in the room was boiling, and even Moon Shadow's jaw almost fell---- the item that appeared on the auction table was an adult female elf slave.
The pointed ears were shaking with fright, the beautiful face was still stained with tears, and the two little hands writhed helplessly in front of them, and their eyes were like that of a wounded fawn.
"The goddess of life is above!" Castro also opened his mouth wide: "How did they catch a female elf?" The Elven Empire is not something that humans can enter casually, let alone capture an adult female elf. ”
Moon Shadow was stunned at first, but she quickly regained her composure, "Someone's going to be unlucky. ”
Seeing Castro's puzzled gaze, Moon Shadow explained: "The Elven Empire is well-known for its short-term protection, and besides, there are already Grand Druids and Elven Elders walking on the continent, if they find out, the Istu Chamber of Commerce will probably be removed." ”
"Huh?"
Castro was taken aback, if he brought in a grand druid and elven elder, I am afraid that the matter would be even more complicated.
On the auction table, Mr. Sith had already quoted the lowest price of the elves, 10,000 gold coins.
As soon as the words fell, those nobles had already rushed to raise their cards, and the price of the elves jumped from 10,000 gold coins to 110,000 gold coins like a rocket.
In the end, the elf slave girl was sold for 150,000 gold coins, and the audience burst into warm applause.
Just as the buyer and seller were about to trade on the spot, a sharp noise suddenly came from the top of the underground auction house, a large hole appeared in the ceiling, large pieces of stone tiles fell down, and dozens of slender figures appeared in the auction room.
