The sound of a wooden hammer falling on the board was crisp and loud.

Hiss, a small soft red tongue hissed in the air.

"Carl has brought greetings from His Excellency Canaan, the Caster of the Four Rings!" the succubus's playful eyes swept over the men in the tavern, a stark warning, and the Plantagenet family and the Four-Ring caster standing behind it calmed down the people who were about to move. It would be a fair deal. If anyone wants to break the rules, they will not only face the Plantagenet, but also the four-ring caster behind him.

This succubus is not simple, but he actually understands the dark psychology of human society. Unbeknownst to Merlin, however, Lord Canaan had captured the succubus named Carl for many years. She was much older than the people inside the coffin tavern. The caster has a long life, and the life span of the succubus is many times longer than that of humans, don't look at Carl is still a ripe peach in the eyes of human sunlight, but in the eyes of the succubus, she is far from reaching the peak moment, because the two sharp horns on her head are no longer than the length of a finger. A truly mature succubus must grow horns more than a foot long to be considered an adult.

"There were twenty slaves in this wooden box, among whom were craftsmen and beautiful women. A bright light illuminated a wooden box beside Cal the succubus. "A hundred gold coins to start. Ten gold coins are added once. There was no answer three times, and the hammer fell to the auction successfully. ”

The succubus slowly spoke the rules of the auction, as if he was drinking afternoon tea with a few noble ladies in the afternoon parlor, and the coffin tavern gradually quieted down, and everyone stared at the succubus in the center of the hall, for fear of missing every detail.

Most of the people in the coffin tavern, Merlin, didn't know him, but he still saw a few familiar figures. Among these people, Mombasa, the great butler of Hippo City, had the highest favorability of Merlin of all, reaching 150, a triple-digit rating, which made Merlin feel strange that the succubus Carl standing in the center actually had a favorability of more than 100.

Harrell was in charge of all the things on the docks, and in just three days, he had already turned from admiration to admiration for Merlin. The rows of warehouses are spacious and bright, and the draft of the wharf is deep, so that all the ships in Hippo can easily dock. And most importantly, the transactions done here do not have to pay taxes to the Abbey of Michel. In the past few days, the merchants of Hippo have been inquiring about the free trade zone.

From the standpoint of the Michel Abbey, of course, he didn't want to reduce the income from taxes, but now that Harrell has come forward, the income of the six floors of the free trade zone has entered his hands, so it can be said that this place belongs to the property of the lord of the city.

In the past few days, the city lord has lived carefully, and in the end, Mrs. Catherine did not ask about this matter, which means that in the future, the matter of the free trade zone has reached a paragraph, but now there is another problem that there are too few slaves on the new dock to complete the handling of goods, so the slaves brought back by Roy the mad dog this time, the city lord will not let go.

The first cage quickly asked for 500 gold coins, and Merlin couldn't help but point out the system, it was still too poor, and now Merlin had less than 6,000 gold coins in total, only a little more than 5,000. When he came out of Ashfurnace Village, Merlin only brought 10,000 gold coins with him, and some of the rest were left in Ashfurnace Village.

I used some food from the city lord's mansion, and later saved Yara and was paid with a hundred amethyst coins, but the hundred amethyst coins were used before they were hot. Now Merlin's funds in his hands, including amethyst coins and gold coins, are worth less than six thousand gold coins.

Not many of these 6,000 gold coins can be used to buy slaves, and the rations of Ash Furnace Village can only last for a month. However, in order to complete the construction of the Ash Furnace Town released by the system, the population target is 2,000 people, that is to say, the population of the Ash Furnace Village is only one-tenth of the target, so if there is an opportunity to increase the population, Merlin will definitely not miss it. There are no twenty, not even one.

The Ashfurnace Town mission is opened, with a population of 2,000, 0/1 of the Ashfurnace Fort is completed, 0/1 of the Town Hall is completed, 0/1 of the Market Market is completed, 0/1 of the Mill is completed, and 0/1 of the Grocery Store is completed. ”

Rewards: God of War Altar 1/1, Level 2 Treasure 2/2.

In the systematic explanation, the item about the altar of the god of war is explained as follows: the altar of the ancient heroic spirit, with enough sacrifices on the altar, can receive the knight's inheritance.

An important reason why knights can become nobles is because they have a knightly heritage, just like Merlin's Tesla family, Lionheart's knightly inheritance ensures that the Tesla family has been the ruler of Celis for more than 600 years. Almost every Celis king ends up becoming a Golden Knight.

Merlin's Bumblebee Knight's legacy comes from Lord St. Thomas, which means that Bumblebee Knight cannot be passed on to his descendants. It would be different if you could have the Altar of the God of War, Ashfurnace Town would have its own Knights. And it's a legacy knight that can be passed on.

At first, everyone seemed to be more restrained, but the price of twenty slaves quickly climbed to 1,000 gold coins, and it didn't seem to be stopping. Merlin simply had no desire to make a move, and at this time, someone would definitely continue to increase the price after the bidding, so he simply looked around.

The coffin tavern was filled with all kinds of smells, including the faint smell of flowers, the mellow smell of fruit wine, and the unpleasant smell of tobacco and men. All this formed a three-dimensional picture in Merlin's mind, which was the talent of Bumblebee Knight.

The auction was carried out in an orderly manner, and several red-eyed nobles and merchants let out cruel words to each other, or scolded a few times, perhaps because of the prestige of the caster of the Four Rings, or perhaps because the Plantagenet family had made sufficient preparations in advance, in short, the auction continued uneventfully until the end.

Merlin never made a move, and almost six thousand gold coins were saved until the end, but he must not be willing to go back like this.

When, after a crisp copper bell. The animals, who had been nervous for so long, set their eyes on the stainless steel box beside the succubus Carl, and their breathing became rapid.

Several pillars of light fell on the black steel chest, and an indifferent gaze looked through the black iron fence at the men in the coffin tavern like corpses, Merlin saw a green zero in the yellow box, a value that had never been seen before.
