......

Wu Hui and the others were immediately attracted by this voice.

With a dull thud, a massive stone urn, almost as tall as two people, was pushed out of the side door.

This stone urn is gray-white as a whole, the surface is polished very smooth, and it is not very eye-catching, but some positions at the top and edge are depicted with fine and dense magic arrays, with complex lines and mysterious breaths, which make the entire stone urn lined with high-end atmosphere.

As he pushed, he could vaguely hear the sound of clattering water coming from the stone urn, which seemed to be filled with water.

Wu Hui glanced up, and saw that the opening on the top of the stone urn was also covered with a large metal net, the net flashed, and occasionally there was an electric arc crossing, it was obviously a magic item, and it was also an offensive prop of the thunder attribute.

"What is this?"

Shouldn't the one who was sent up be a slave?

Wu Hui was a little confused for a while, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was being sold in this Viscount Taylor's gourd.

"Look, everybody. ”

Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Viscount Taylor was a little proud, and he reached out and snapped his fingers.

The next moment.

Several pillars of light descended from the top of the hall and intertwined and landed on the stone urn placed in the center of the hall.

The gray-white color on the surface of the stone urn dissipated like a cloud in an instant, and began to fade and disappear little by little. The stone urn became more and more transparent, and everything inside was gradually presented in front of everyone.

"I see. This stone urn is made of Khozia stone. Daniel reacted instantly and began to popularize science to several people, "This ore was discovered by the great magician Kane Hozia in the northern mountain range more than a thousand years ago, and it is usually gray-white, but as long as it is illuminated with a magic lamp, it will become transparent, and it is generally used to make ......"

As he spoke, his voice suddenly stopped, and he looked at the stone urn with a stunned expression.

Not only him, but almost everyone in the entire banquet hall was stunned like him.

I saw that inside the huge stone urn, there was a girl with a fishtail on her body.

The girl looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, her arms and tail were imprisoned by fine silver chains, and she wore a magic collar around her neck that imprisoned her strength like a dog.

Under the refraction of the water, her almost transparent soft skin was strangled by chains, and several places were even drenched in blood, and her delicate and beautiful face had become extremely pale due to excessive blood loss, and her long blue hair was entangled like seaweed on her body, looking extremely embarrassed.

As if she had given up struggling, the light in her dark green eyes dimmed, and even if there was light coming in, she only moved her eyelids slightly, and then returned to her original state.

However, even so, she is still breathtakingly beautiful.

If you look closely, her forearms and shoulders are adorned with beautiful pale blue scales like mica, the fins at the joints are as delicate as glass, the small pale blue cheeks exposed between her long blue hair are also as beautiful as wings, and the sapphire-colored slender fish tail, even if it is bound by a silver chain, is still gorgeous and gorgeous under the illumination of the magic lamp, and there is a kind of enchanting beauty.

Strange and seductive.

For a while, the entire banquet hall was silent, and even breathing seemed to be grabbed by this strange sea elf.

Wu Hui was also stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect that what Viscount Taylor mysteriously pushed to power was really not a human being, but a "mermaid".

"My God~ She is simply the embodiment of art and beauty, and the words of praise I can think of are so pale in front of her beauty...... How could there be such a perfect creature in this world......"

Blake muttered to himself with a twinkle in his eyes, and his whole body became distracted.

He subconsciously touched his harp, and no matter what the occasion or situation was, he reached out and was ready to start tuning the strings and composing the music: "I want to write a hymn for her, praising her purity and beauty......"

"Okay~ You said the same thing the last time you saw the elves. Daniel held him down helplessly, "Wake up, this is a high kraken." ”

Knowing that Wu Hui lacked a lot of common sense, he explained to Wu Hui: "The high-ranking Kraken is the nobleman among the Krakens, and the number is scarce......"

The so-called kraken is actually a general term for the intelligent creatures of the ocean. But even if it is the same kraken, it is divided into three, six, nine and so on.

The kind of kraken that attacked the port before was called "Ikru", which means fish-headed human body, and it is the bottom of the kraken, and the combat power of a single body is very average, and it is won by numbers alone. The mermaid girl in front of her is the most noble race of the kraken, the high-level kraken, known as the "descendant of the sea god", as long as she is an adult, it is level 4, and some of them are talented, and it is not a problem to cultivate to Yasheng.

What's even more terrifying is that the High Kraken has a much higher chance of achieving level 7 than other races.

The many sea lords and overlords that exist in the vast sea area are almost all high-level krakens, which shows the fierceness of this race.

The only thing that can make humans happy is that the number of high krakens is very scarce, and the fecundity is very low. Otherwise, there would really be nothing going on in the Bright Continent for humans.

"Kraken!

At this time, the other nobles also reacted and let out a sudden exclamation.

"Oh my God! it's actually a high-level kraken!" a head of the Chamber of Commerce was dumbfounded, his expression was shocked and mixed with horror, "Any high-level kraken being caught by humans may cause revenge from the kraken clan." Is Viscount Taylor deadly, even a high-level kraken dares to catch it?!"

For a moment, the entire banquet hall was boiling.

To be able to get a high-level kraken, I have to admit that Viscount Taylor's magical powers are vast, however, the significance of this high-level kraken is really extraordinary......

The eerie atmosphere spread in the candlelight, and the expressions on everyone's faces became unnatural, fearful, tangled, excited...... All kinds of emotions flickered and intertwined, and so on.

A girl slave with noble blood and strong potential is simply an excellent object to play and cultivate. Once it is raised and trained, it may be possible to have an additional level 7 senior fighter in the future. In addition, the high-level kraken was born with a strong bloodline talent, or has the ability to walk the sea, or can drive sea beasts, this is a future sea lord, and it will definitely not be a problem to dominate a sea area in the future.

However, the identity of this girl also means a huge trouble.

Is she really worth the risk?

"The high krakens are difficult to reproduce, so they are extremely protective of their cubs, and they are extremely vindictive, if anyone dares to attack the cubs of the kraken clan, once they are discovered, they will definitely not die. Daniel casually handed over his intermittent infatuated cousin to the old butler and continued to give Wu Hui popular science, "It's not that there are no bold slave traders who have fought the idea of the High Kraken before, but without exception, all of them have been killed by the High Kraken with a vengeance, whether they are bought or sold, they are not good. After a few times, the slave traders were frightened. I really didn't expect Viscount Taylor to have the guts to do this......"

As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, obviously not optimistic.

"Hmph~ It's just a cowardice. ”

Liliana sat lazily on the sofa, but her slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes were cold and disdainful.

"According to what I said...... Wu Hui touched his chin and looked thoughtful, "Then these people shouldn't dare to buy it?

Liliana curled her lips with a smirk, "Not necessarily. ”

She would never underestimate the inferiority of these nobles.

Sure enough, not long after her words fell, a nobleman gritted his teeth and said, "Viscount Taylor, how can this high kraken shoot?"

There was still fear in his eyes, but more of it was excitement and eagerness, and even his cheeks were weirdly red because of excitement, like a gambling stick, even if he knew that one step away from the abyss could fall into the abyss, he still wanted to bet on the one in ten thousand possibility.

What if he's lucky enough not to be retaliated against by the Kraken?

Viscount Taylor had already guessed that this would be the case, and when he heard this, he showed a smug smile: "The starting price is 1,000 gold franks, and each increase must not be less than 100 franks." It is also possible to bid on estates, horse farms, mines and other properties in place of Golden Frank. ”

"1000 gold Frank?!"

Many of the nobles present gasped.

It's not that they can't come up with so much money, it's just that the tax revenue of a viscount for a quarter is normally twenty or thirty gold franks, and even if you add the income from the ancestral property, it will be fifty or sixty gold franks. 1,000 gold franks, you have to sell the ancestral property of the manor to make it up.

Not to mention a small noble, even an earl like Blake, the income from taxes and ancestral property is far more generous than that of a viscount, and 1,000 gold Franks is still a large asset, enough to make people hurt for a long time.

Not to mention, this is only the floor price.

The reserve price is so high, so the transaction price must be astronomical?

However, just when everyone was surprised and shocked, and the nobleman who asked the price just now was also hesitating, a calm voice suddenly came from the corner: "I'll give 1200 gold Frank." ”

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look, and saw that the mysterious visitor from the imperial capital, Mr. Prit, was quietly leaning against the bar.

He played with the wine cup in his hand, and the expression on his face covered by a black leather mask was indistinct, but there was a careless indifference in his eyes.

If it weren't for the right voice and position, just looking at him like this, it would be hard to believe that the person who made the offer just now was him. casually opened his mouth and went up by 200 gold franks, how rich does this person have to be?

Wu Hui couldn't help but look at him more.

It is said that he is now a big family, and there are many people who are willing to donate to the Holy See, and there should be a lot of money. But there are many people in the Holy See, and the expenses are also large, and the training of the army is even more expensive, and the only little money he has is left to the ballast of the Holy See.

Not to mention 1200 gold Frank, he can't even take out 100 gold Frank.

Sure enough, compared to the real rich people, he is still too poor~

Wu Hui sighed, and the expressions of the other people in the banquet hall were also constantly changing.

A middle-aged nobleman with thinning hair and a deep eagle nose was still hesitating and tangled, but when he saw this, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

This is a high-level kraken, and there will be no such shop in this village after that. In case someone else buys them and doesn't get revenge from the Kraken, they won't have a place to cry!

What's more, he is not alone, he has an army and a master under his command, and his territory is still inland far from the port, even if he is against a high-ranking kraken, he may not have the strength to fight.

Fight!

He slapped the table suddenly, and said with red eyes: "I have a horse farm, located in the western suburbs of Thorn City, covering an area of 8,000 acres, with 327 adult horses and 106 underage horses, most of which are of high-grade war horse blood, and 135 families of horse slaves, with a total discount of 1,300 gold franks!"

"Wow~"

As soon as these words came out, the banquet hall suddenly became commotion again.

"Viscount Elinor has really made a lot of money, and that horse farm is the most profitable property under his hands. A middle-aged man who was also wearing aristocratic clothes whispered to the people around him.

"The racecourse can be rebuilt after it is sold, but the high-level kraken is hard to find. If I hadn't had the money, I would have made a bid. The little nobleman next to him felt that Viscount Elinor's behavior was very easy to understand, and there was envy in his eyes.

In the corner, several butlers, who were representatives of the nobility, were occupying a corner and quietly making emergency contact with the main family. In the age of magic and vindictiveness, long-distance communication was not impossible, but it was expensive and only used in very special circumstances.

The middle-aged viscount with thinning hair stared at the people around him and swallowed nervously.

These people, who were smiling and smiling just now, seemed to have a close relationship, were his competitors at the moment, especially the mysterious Mr. Plitt, who was his number one guard.

He hoped that these people would be intimidated by his offer and stop bidding. A horse farm is already the limit of what he can take, and if the price rises again, he will inevitably be excluded from this transaction.

One second.

Two seconds......

There are still no bids.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, in the corner, a butler finally ended his communication with the master and turned around.

"The Earl of Black Iron Castle is willing to produce a black iron mine, located in the Rock Mountains, with an estimated storage capacity of 10,000 tons, at a discount of 1,800 gold franks. ”

The butler's voice was calm and powerful, clearly showing the determination of the Lord of the Black Iron Castle to win.

The middle-aged viscount, with thinning hair, turned pale, and his expression instantly became extremely ugly.

However, at this time, who cares about his reaction? Almost everyone's attention was drawn to the black iron ore worth 1,800 gold franks.

It's a mine!

Every metal mine is the lifeblood of the nobles, who is willing to take it out in normal times? For the sake of this high-ranking kraken girl slave, the Earl of Black Iron Castle also fights.

However, pyrite is not the end. As the butler of the Black Iron Castle spoke, soon, other aristocratic representatives also came down and joined the bidding.

The price of a high-level Kraken maiden slave skyrocketed from 1,800 gold Frank's black iron ore to two thousand, reaching three thousand gold Frank's Mithril Mine.

The representatives of the big nobles who bid were-for-tat, openly and secretly conveying that their own side was bound to win, and even did not hesitate to move out of the lord's title, just to coerce the other party to make concessions.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was getting hotter and hotter.

Under the influence of the atmosphere, even the little nobles who had no chance to participate in the bidding competition, the heads of the small chambers of commerce gradually became excited. Such a wonderful auction is not usually seen, so how can you not be excited to participate in it in person?

For a while, even the deterrence of the High Kraken was temporarily left behind by them.

"Crazy ~ crazy ~ This group of people is simply crazy!"

Blake finally recovered from his obsession with seeing the artistically beautiful Siren, and was immediately startled when he saw this crazy scene.

Daniel was calm.

He has seen a lot of nobles in the Duke's Palace who are crazy for a little profit, and this little battle is really nothing.

"As long as people have 100% interests, they dare to take risks, if they have 200% interests, they dare to defy legal principles, and if they have 300% interests, they dare to trample on everything in the world. Wu Hui leaned lazily on the sofa, his face unfathomable, "The high-level kraken represents the power of the sea, a safe and risk-free sea route, and an endless and inexhaustible cornucopia, which is enough to make any nobleman with a little strength go crazy." ”

Not to mention these nobles, even he is tempted.

If he hadn't had any money, he would have already made a bid.

As he spoke, he glanced at the miserable-looking mermaid girl in the stone urn, and couldn't help but sigh again: "What's more, this slave is still such a peerless stunner?"

This beauty alone is enough to make many people crazy for her.

When she heard the first few sentences, Liliana couldn't help but nod her head in appreciation, and when she heard this last sentence, her face suddenly darkened.

Deaf~ She shouldn't expect Wu Hui to say anything serious.

"Hehe~ Lord Earl, this time the slave, you can always look at it, right?" It seemed that after hearing the second half of Wu Hui's words, Viscount Taylor came over from the side, half complacent and half ostentatious, "This high-level kraken was accidentally caught by my soldiers when they went out to sea to hunt, both in terms of qualifications and appearance, and it is definitely worthy of your identity." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly leaned into Blake's ear and whispered: "If you like it, even if you shout the price, I will give you a 5% discount on the price privately, and I will honor you as a retainer." ”

Why do you want him to buy it again?

Blake looked embarrassed, and his face turned red with embarrassment. He really just appreciates beautiful things, and never thought of bringing people back~

What's more, where did he get so much money?

"That, I, I'm ......"

He looked at Wu Hui and Daniel as if asking for help, his green eyes were full of water, pitiful.

Wu Hui had a chill. It's more than 20 people, and the big girl of the scholar family is coquettish, do you want to make a face?

Rubbing the goosebumps on his arm, he moved a little farther away without hesitation, deciding to ignore the fool.

Daniel couldn't help but turn his head and silently moved a little farther away.

Blake couldn't believe it.

Blake was devastated and indignant.

What about covering him?

He is still a delicate and innocent young man, and he really can't withstand the wind and rain of the adult world~

In the end, the old butler Jem couldn't stand it, and stood up and said to Viscount Taylor: "Regarding this matter, Young Master Black still needs to think about it, you see ......"

"Understanding~Understanding~"

Viscount Taylor naturally had no objections, smiled and bowed to everyone before retreating.

He was full of confidence in the "goods" he took out this time. He believed that even if the master of the Principality of Saint Violet was here, he would never be able to resist the temptation of the High Siren, and Count Black would naturally be no exception.

It is believed that this peerless gift will bind him to the Earl of Black, as well as the Duchy Master behind him.
