Chapter IV Underground Auctions

The God-given continent is very large.

Even if Xia Fan wanted to visit the entire Divine Continent, he didn't know how much time it would take.

Because there is only one supercontinent in this world, the God-given continent, and the rest of the land is not enough to be called a continent.

It's not like the Qing Micro Realm, which has four giant continents, southeast, northwest, and northwest.

The area of one of the continents alone is naturally not as vast as the God-given continent, but if the area of the four continents is added together, it will undoubtedly be above the God-given continent.

Xia Fan spent three days to roughly understand the basic situation of this Western Fantasy World.

But for the next thirty days.

His footprints were only found in the Kingdom of Locks and a few surrounding Grand Duchyes.

You must know that Xia Fan has traveled to all the important cities in these kingdoms and principalities, and he rarely sets foot in remote and backward rural areas, after all, Xia Fan is not here to investigate the local customs, let alone poverty alleviation.

Of course.

If these towns have a two-dimensional village girl like Joan of Arc.

Xia Fan didn't mind going to these towns every day.

It's a pity that reality is not an anime game.

Not to mention the two-dimensional village girl, Xia Fan has not even found a satisfactory beast-eared girl so far.

Xia Fan found out later.

If you look all over the streets like him, the possibility of finding the best beast-eared lady is very small.

Because—

Human aesthetics are always similar.

Xia Fan doesn't like beast-eared girls with strong hair and smells all over their bodies, and the humans of this world are no exception, provided that those who have special habits are excluded.

For example, there is a sad wind or something.

In other words.

All the best beast-eared mothers have long become the private playthings of the big shots, and basically they will not appear on the market.

And the beast-eared girls that can be seen on the market are all beast-eared girls who are not interested, and even live in human groups, whether they are orcs or half-orcs, they all belong to the groups that suffer from discrimination and exclusion, and many cities and towns even refuse to accept this kind of race.

Getting along?

Most of these things are just beautiful imaginations.

Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.

This principle is also very popular in this world.

Don't say anything else.

According to Xia Fan's memories from a historian.

In this racialized world, there have been countless racial wars, and even genocides that exterminated humanity.

The once illustrious orc empire has now disappeared into history.

Why do many countries in the God-given Continent have orcs or half-orcs?

It is nothing more than that after the defeat and dismemberment of the orc empire back then, countless orcs have become slaves of these countries.

Due to the strong fertility of orcs and the natural strength of their physique.

In time.

Far from becoming extinct, many of the orcs who became slaves were freed from slavery and gradually began to integrate into human society.

As for the orcs.

It's entirely the product of a union of humans and orcs.

For a long time.

Not to mention humans, even the orc community doesn't want to see half-orcs.

In the eyes of the orcs.

Half-orcs are simply a disgrace among orcs.

It wasn't until the birth of the god of the half-orcs that the situation of the group of half-orcs changed significantly, at least the orc gods believed in by the orcs recognized the god of the half-orcs, since the gods said so, the believers could only accept it.

Seriously.

There is no reproductive segregation between the two races.

This is undoubtedly the most surprising thing for Xia Fan, not only the orcs, but also other races do not seem to have the so-called reproductive segregation.

I have to say.

Give me a woman of a different race, and I can create a new race.

This sentence is not a joke in the God-given continent.

And the best beast ear girl that Xia Fan had in mind belonged to the group of half-orcs.

Usually.

The orc blood in the body of this kind of superb beast-eared girl is already quite thin, and it looks no different from humans, except for the furry ears and tails that betray their identity.

So much so that after Xia Fan inquired about finding information about the best beast ear girl, he also inadvertently learned something very dark.

Due to the high price of the best beast ear girl.

Some humans, even orcs and half-orcs, have specially cultivated this kind of superb beast-eared girl for this purpose.

As for the process, I won't go into details.

Anyway, normal people will feel disgusted and hateful when they hear it.

The most frustrating thing is that the lives of such people are often very nourishing, and even have intricate and intricate relationships with the aristocratic clergy.

Even if a righteous person discovers the evil deeds of the other party, most of the results are unresolved, and even the bodies of these righteous people are found in a dark alley the next day, or they sink directly into the river.

Xia Fan has never claimed to be a righteous person.

Unless you give him a Saber or Tsundere, even Illya.

In this way, Xia Fan doesn't mind making a cameo appearance as a righteous partner.

Of course.

Now that Xia Fan knows about this matter, it is impossible for him to sit idly by with his character.

After all, the other party's behavior has touched the principles of action and the bottom line of morality that Xia Fan followed.

Not to mention for him.

It's just a trivial thing that doesn't even matter how much it doesn't matter.

"Choosing the auction in the nobleman's castle under the guise of a banquet is indeed a bit hidden. ”

Xia Fan seemed to be casually walking on the forest path in the night, his eyes calmly looking at a castle towering with lights in the distance, and at the same time he couldn't help muttering to himself.

This is a place called Britto in the Kingdom of Byrne, and the owner of this land and the castle in front of him is the Earl of Felton, who belongs to the Kingdom of Byrne.

It was no accident that he would be here.

When he overheard about those things about the Beast-Eared Lady.

He followed the trail all the way here.

Tonight.

An underground auction is about to take place at the castle.

Before nightfall.

The castle has already gathered many people.

These people all wore masks on their faces and looked like they were participating in a masquerade.

Inside the castle.

In a splendid clean and tidy hall.

In the corner, soothing music is playing, and bright men and women are whispering, perhaps shuttling back and forth between tables with a variety of delicacies, just like a real social banquet.

"The cuisine in this world is average, but the ingredients and spices are unique, and it tastes good. ”

However, no one knew that an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in the hall.

I saw him standing at the table, eating the food on the table as if no one was around, while talking to himself.

But the people around him turned a blind eye, as if they were completely in the air.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the real feast is about to begin!"

When the bell rings midnight inside the castle.

A man dressed in a gorgeous costume and wearing a smiling mask slowly appeared in the most striking part of the hall.

He clapped his hands.

A hoarse, deep male voice was heard.

In an instant, everyone's attention was grabbed, and at the same time, they all stopped talking, and the whole hall fell silent in an instant, and the men and women who played music in the corners and the servants in the hall left the hall at some point.

"Is it finally starting? If you don't start again, I'm going to eat up all the stuff here. ”

Meanwhile.

Xia Fan held a plate of food piled up like a mountain in his hand, and when he looked at the smiling masked man in front of him making his opening remarks, he kept chewing a piece of barbecue meat that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

"Alright, let's get our first auction item!"

It didn't take long.

The Smiley Masked Man finally got to the point.

As soon as the words fell.

A door opens in the corner behind the smiley masked man.

Xuan even saw a tall, expressionless and beautiful woman walking out with a palm-sized box in both hands.

"Guys, this is our first auction ......"

When the smiley masked man opened his mouth to introduce.

The woman in charge of holding the box opened the box at the same time and slowly showed it to everyone present.

"Mermaid tears!"

The so-called mermaid tears look like an ocean-blue pearl.

But judging by the mysterious aura emanating from mermaids and the like, this is no ordinary ornament.

According to the introduction of the smiley mask man.

Mermaids and the like have the effect of calming the spirit, and are of great help to the caster in meditation, not only that, but the mermaid tears even have a detoxification function......

It's just that mermaid tears can only be formed when mermaids have great mood swings, so mermaid tears are very scarce.

"Tsk......"

Hear the origin of the Mermaid's Tears.

Xia Fan couldn't help but sigh.

There is no killing, no buying.

Behind every mermaid's tear, I don't know how many mermaids have paid for it with their lives.

As everyone present began to bid incessantly, the atmosphere in the hall became hot.

All the way.

Xia Fan was silently eating the food on the plate, as if he had no interest in this auction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight it is finally our turn to auction the last item of goods!

As the auction draws to a close.

The smiley mask man in charge of hosting also deliberately sold a pass.

The next moment.

Two tall, burly, expressionless men walked out carrying a cage covered with a black curtain.

"I'm sure you've already guessed what the last shipment was, right?"

When the cage is moved to the Smiley Masked Man and laid down.

The smiling masked man didn't continue to sell guanzi, but directly grabbed the black curtain covering the cage and suddenly ripped it down.

"Wow-"

"It's ......"

When everyone saw the contents of the cage, they all let out an exclamation.

Xia Fan, who had been dining, had a light in his eyes!

Beast-eared mother!

The best beast ear girl!

And it's a white-haired beast-eared little Lori!

However, after the black curtain was lifted.

The beast-eared little Lori in the cage shrank in the corner and kept shivering, facing the eyes of the people focused on herself in the scene, the beast-eared little Lori obviously felt a strong fear.

"A thousand! I'll give you a thousand gold Martha!"

Moment.

On the spot, a man's voice shouted feverishly.

"Three thousand! I'll give three thousand!"

"Five thousand! She's mine! No one wants to snatch it from me!"

"Six thousand!"

“......”

Time.

The sounds of bidding are all in the hall.

"Can I touch your ears? Don't worry, I won't hurt you. ”

At this time.

Little Lori, the beast-eared girl with a frightened face in the cage, suddenly heard a gentle voice in her ears.

She subconsciously turned her head.

Then I saw a young man smiling like a spring breeze, which involuntarily gave people a sense of closeness and security.

The beast-eared girl Little Lori was stunned.

She didn't even notice that the other's hand had passed through the cage and gently stroked her head, and at the same time touched her erected ears.

"Huh-"

It seems that the ears are the sensitive parts of the beast-eared girl Lori.

Just touched it.

She couldn't help but shudder and screamed softly.

"My name is Xia Fan, what's your name?"

Even if the young man stopped touching the ears of the beast-eared girl Little Lori, his tone was still gentle.

“...... Lena. ”

The beast-eared girl Little Lori was silent for a moment.

"Lena, yes, good boy, close your eyes first, and my brother will get you out immediately. ”

Xia Fan gently rubbed the soft white hair of the beast ear girl Little Lori and said.

“......”

Little Lori, the beast-eared girl, didn't say anything.

But she nodded obediently and closed her eyes directly.

"Whew...... It's time to get down to business. ”

Seeing this, Xia Fan breathed a sigh of relief, only to see him stand up from the edge of the cage and slowly walk behind the smiling masked man in front of him, who was constantly driving the atmosphere of bidding.

He held out his hand.

He patted the other person on the shoulder.

"Huh?"

The smiley-masked man suddenly stopped his voice and turned his head away in a dissatisfied tone.

Smack-

There was a crisp sound.

The head of the smiley-masked man is gone.

Moment.

A column of blood erupted from the neck of the smiling masked man who had lost his head.

"I've been chirping crookedly. ”

Xia Fan pursed his lips, and his eyes fell on all the people in the hall in front of him.

"Ah......h

The sudden change made everyone fall silent suddenly.

The next moment.

Someone is starting to react.

When a woman also let out a piercing scream, the whole hall was in chaos!

Who's this?!

Why did he suddenly appear here?!

Pity.

With a crisp snap of the fingers.

The hall quickly fell silent again.

Looking at the people who fell to the ground and lost their lives, Xia Fan shook his head indifferently, turned around and walked towards the cage where the beast-eared girl Xiao Lori was imprisoned.

A bunch of scum!

It's not a pity to die!

"Lena, don't open your eyes, my brother will get you out now. ”

Inside the cage.

Little Lori, the beast-eared girl with her eyes closed, suddenly felt a pair of hands hugging her.

When that gentle and familiar voice rang in my ears.

She was stiff and relaxed.

"Actually asleep?"

Xia Fan, who picked up the beast-eared girl Little Lori, was just about to continue talking to the other party.

As a result, he was stunned to find that the other party was asleep.
