Chapter 50: The King
Pulling out the invitation he had purchased from Skeleton Girl, Charles walked inside.
There is a lot of space inside the wooden boat, but the furnishings are simple, and in front of the chairs where the guests sit is a simple stage with a blood-red carpet.
Naturally, the pirates had no manners, and some of them were greedy and ate all kinds of powders, and the simmering air of the auction was mixed with all kinds of flavors.
Among the pirate leaders who have been talking to each other, Charles seems a little abrupt to be alone.
Charles didn't let Odrik in, and the pirates inside were not small, and he was afraid that some people would see that he was a vampire and causing trouble.
As the personnel slowly arrived, the bright oil lamps around them were dimmed to the fullest. "Smack~!" a bright light shone on the stage.
An exaggeratedly dressed dwarf jumped out, "Welcome to Sodom's 157th auction!
The scene was very cold, and not many pirates below were looking at him.
The dwarf didn't care at all about this, and slapped his smiling hands. "Below, our noble, honorable, invincible king. ”
As soon as the dwarf's words fell, the light on his body hit the hatch next to him.
At least a large fat man weighing at least 1 ton was pushed out by a wooden cart, and his unusually greasy face was covered with pustules of large and small pus, and his belly almost hung to the ground, the king of Sodom was surprisingly ugly.
"Wang" paid no attention to the customer seats, and his attention was focused on the mountains of meat piled up on both sides of the wooden cart.
Watching the king swallow food with his teeth open, Charles felt sick to his stomach just by looking at it, and to be honest, this king's appearance was much worse than he imagined.
But the other pirates didn't think so, and they stood up one after another to salute the "king".
The "king" did not speak, he waved his greasy fat hand indiscriminately, and the dwarf continued.
The pillar of light struck back at the dwarf again, and after bowing deeply in the direction of the king, he announced loudly, "The auction is now open!"
The cloth behind the gnome was pulled up, and a wandering girl in a gorgeous dress was pushed up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a simple plaything, she is the daughter of the Governor of He Fang Island who disappeared not long ago! Anyone who buys her can cut something down every day and keep threatening the Governor of He Fang Island! Everyone look at it! This is not a woman, this is a cash cow! 500,000 starting auctions, 100,000 plus one, start now! This captain has 1 million! 2 million!!! 6 million!!"
Ignoring the pirates to the price, Charles's attention was all on the king, who had clues to the surface and was constantly thinking about how to get the charts on him.
At this time, the governor's daughter was bought by a pirate, and she walked down from the platform with a sad face, and no one noticed that the woman was getting closer and closer to the "king".
Just when she was still three meters away from the "king", her tearful face instantly turned hideous, and her left hand quickly took out a pistol from under the ruffled skirt, and pulled the trigger frantically at the "king".
"Bang bang bang!!" the bullet tilted on the fat of the "king", and the blood splattered out was mixed with beige fat.
"Poof" A big pustule on the king's face burst, and a bug the size of a face-hugging insect slap swooped down on the woman's body with an afterimage, and the next second, the sound of flesh tearing sounded, and the headless corpse fell straight to the ground.
The "king" still sat there like a chicken, grabbing the blood-spattered pieces of flesh with his fat hand and stuffing it into his mouth, as if it were not himself who had been shot.
After a few seconds, the dwarf on the stage hurriedly played a round, "Haha, another guy who is not afraid of death is whimsical, praising our king! Our king is invincible! Now let's move on to the second auction!!"
Charles watched as the worm on the ground shrank back into the "king's" pustule again, and knew in his heart that the existence that could rule over the whole of Sodom could not be a fool.
He was sure that this king hadn't even shown the slightest bit of strength, and his true strength was definitely terrifying.
Soon Charles thought of himself, the other party is so powerful, how can he get information from him?
Charles gave up this option first, the other side did not look like a good talker, and the skeleton girl was right, this kind of monopoly business, he would never tell anyone else.
The strength of the other side is much stronger than himself, and the number of people is also more than himself, and it is even more impossible to rely on force, Charles was in a dilemma for a while.
Until the end of the auction, Charles still didn't think of a way, he looked at the fat man who was still swallowing meat in the distance, and his heart was a little irritated.
"Ahem. A cough from the side interrupted Charles' direct gaze. "Don't keep an eye on the king so closely, he will think that this is your provocation to him. ”
Charles turned his head, and when he saw the white triangle on the man's forehead, he almost stood up in shock.
Looking at the Cult of the Illuminati, Charles' eyes were full of hostility. "I'm not dead, isn't it a surprise that Sonny is it?"
Who knew that this believer had a very surprised expression on his face. "Sorry, I'm not familiar with him, he's fundamentalist, I'm Protestant. ”
Charles looked suspicious, a little confused about the purpose of this guy.
"Don't suspect me of deceiving you, you know, we Helios believers never deceive people. ”
Charles then put aside the scruples in his heart, and it was true, as far as he knew, as long as the followers of the Sun God Cult performed the ritual, they lost their fear and also lost the ability to conceal it.
He carefully looked at the appearance of the believer in front of him, this guy was nearly 60 years old, an old man with gray hair, a pair of small round glasses on his nose, and a yellow robe, judging from his appearance alone, he looked a little kind.
"In Lower Khed, the holy man of the Helios Cult. Captain Charles, first meeting, hello. ”
Charles's mind flashed, and he suddenly remembered that Songny had come to Sodom to kill the followers of other sects when he got rid of himself, could it be this guy who wanted to clean up?
"You know me?"
Cord smiled. "Hehe, of course I know, we got word when you said in the Explorers Guild that you were looking for the Land of Light, Captain Charles, can we talk?"
Charles's heart moved slightly, the enemy of his enemy is his friend, and this guy may be useful. "Yes, come to my boat. ”
