Chapter 56: The Auction
That night, Weifeng followed Chrissy to the Silver Leaf Auction House again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Only this time, they came to a secret venue located in the basement of the auction house.
There were not many people in the venue, and some of them were seen at yesterday's auction, but some of them were more face-to-face. These people are gorgeously dressed and speak elegantly, and at first glance they have a good family background and identity.
"This way, I stayed here for more than half a year before I gained the trust of Bami and was allowed to enter and exit here. Chrissy explained as she led the way.
"What the hell is this place for, isn't the auction already over?"
"You'll find out later. ”
The two made their way through the crowd until they finally came to a small box.
Only then did Weifeng notice that this seemed to be a small auction house. It's just that unlike yesterday's venue, which can accommodate thousands of people, the auction hall here is a terraced circle.
In the middle is a circular display stand, which should be where the auction items are placed. Around this circular display stand are small cubicles in a circle and a total of nine floors, one layer at a time. In the bottom circle, there are only four boxes, and the top ninth floor has thirty-six boxes. This kind of design is a bit like the ancient Colosseum of Fasener, and Weifeng secretly said in his heart.
Kristle came to a small box on the east side of the seventh floor.
After walking into the box, Weifeng was stunned by the gorgeous decoration in the box. It is no exaggeration to say that the cost of such a small box of less than ten square meters will be at least one million gold coins.
"Don't look at it, the boxes on the seventh floor and above are decorated by Silver Leaf himself. The cost of each room is 2.5 million gold coins, and the boxes below the seventh floor are sold directly to the top group of people with the highest status and financial resources. ”
"What the hell is being auctioned here?"
Weifeng frowned, and his heart became more and more puzzled. With such facilities and configurations, the investment is probably astronomical. What kind of item would be so profitable, and so many people with high status and deep financial resources would be attracted to it?
Although Weifeng didn't know much about the business road, before that, in order to make sure that the plan was foolproof, he had also looked through the information about the Silver Leaf Auction House in the mercenary guild. In fact, the items that are auctioned at public auction are very expensive, but only once a month, and no more than a dozen items at a time. And in order to attract customers, the auction house has lowered the commission very low. Therefore, the biggest source of profit for Silver Leaf is not the equipment and resources that cost tens of millions of gold coins at every turn, but the luxury goods that are not auctioned publicly at every auction.
"You'll know later, well, you can't be impulsive no matter what you see later, remember?" Chrissy's expression became serious.
"Okay. ”
The crowd that was still walking around and talking casually began to enter their boxes, and the lights of the entire auction hall gradually dimmed.
A woman in a leaky dress walked to the circular display stand, a pink cut-out dress, the hem of which was lower than the knee, and a touch of snow white on her chest, as if she might jump out at any moment.
"Ha, look, she's got big breasts!"
There were all kinds of debauched laughter in the venue, and some people even laughed at this beautiful woman directly. It's just that the inside of the box is engraved with a magic array that changes the timbre, and the location of the sound source will also be obscured, and no one can tell which gentleman and nobleman those foul words are from.
"Welcome to this auction, I am the auctioneer of this auction. There are 20 lots in this auction, and now you can take a look at the first treasure of this auction. The woman was clearly accustomed to such teasing, and did not mind in the slightest and began to do her duty.
A circular hole slowly opened in the middle of the display stand, and a round platform like an elevator slowly went up, just filling the hole.
After Weifeng saw the "item" in the middle of the round platform, he couldn't help but gasp, and then a wave of anger rushed straight to his brain.
It was a pale, helpless girl.
How dare they buy and sell human beings......
As early as the founding of Empress Angelia, human trafficking was banned. At that time, hundreds of chambers of commerce jointly protested against the decision, and they united to threaten to refuse to transport all kinds of rare goods to Fassen, and forced the empress to revoke the decision. But the result was something that no one expected.
In the face of such a threat, Empress Angelia ignored the dissuasion of many noble families and imperial officials. Within three days, he first went to Minglan alone, secretly visited the head of the Lu family at that time, and asked the White Shield Chamber of Commerce to send necessary materials to Fasener on the condition of allowing the White Shield Chamber of Commerce to settle in Fasener. Prior to this, the White Shield Chamber of Commerce had been refused entry by the countries of the Karen Continent. Naturally, the head of the Lu family would not let go of such an opportunity. Two days later, the Empress sent more than a dozen Praetorian Guards to directly break into the Chamber of Commerce involved in large-scale human trafficking in Fassener, killing hundreds of people and eliminating the farce with a thunderous force. It can be said that since then, very few people have dared to trade in human beings in Fassen.
"This girl is from the land of a hundred countries, a princess of a small country, only seventeen years old this year, and she is still a virgin. What's commendable is that she is also a water mage in the Radiant Realm. If you like magicians, don't miss it. Okay, now the auction begins, and the reserve price is 50 million gold coins, and each increase must not be less than 5 million gold coins. ”
The auctioneer introduced the girl as if she were introducing an item, and the words in the venue became more ****.
The girl was curled up on the ground, her face full of fear and helplessness. The thin veil on his body can only barely hide his delicate and graceful body.
"I want to know, when did such a thing start, is this the meaning of the Silver Turtle Chamber of Commerce, or is it organized by Silver Leaf himself?"
Weifeng tried his best to control his anger, trying to find out the cause of the matter first.
"I'm also looking into this, and according to my findings, this auction started about three years ago. As for whether there is a silver turtle behind it, it is not clear for the time being, I only know that in Silver Leaf, such an auction is in charge of Bami. ”
"Heh, you've been here for half a year, why do you have to tolerate such a thing. ”
Weifeng listened to those unbearable words and the sound of quotations one after another, and the anger in his chest was like a lion with nowhere to vent.
"Don't get excited, if the Silver Turtle Chamber of Commerce is really behind this matter, then if we take out the stronghold of Silver Leaf, the loss will be minimal for them. As long as the source of this line has not been cut, just find a place to start again. ”
"Perhaps, this is still a good opportunity to suppress the Silver Turtle, right?" said Wei Feng Han.
