Chapter 209: Slave Auction
【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.
In the evening, the sky was getting darker, but in front of a spacious building, bright lights and candles were lit, and the common word "Blue Water Auction House" was particularly conspicuous.
The customers who came in one after another had different statuses, but most of them would do a little simple disguise, or wear a veil or scarf, or wear a deep hat, and then cover their faces with masks.
In the distance, on a gloomy street, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves.
After a while, this tall figure leading the horse beast walked to the door of the auction house, carrying a lot of weapons and equipment from him, and some of the bloated clothes were difficult to see the specific identity.
But in the light, a white metal mask under the hood is particularly conspicuous, even reminiscent of a cold deceased, with a little creepy feeling.
At this time, the auction was almost starting, and Loki had already learned about it during the day, and the auction house in Fog Castle City was about the same rules, but he didn't have time to visit it.
After paying some tips and temporarily depositing the horse beast in the auction house, the half-elf followed the figures in front of him and walked in.
The auction took place in a large hall, and the seats inside were almost full, but the order was well maintained, and even if there was some noise, it would not drown out the auctioneer's voice.
On the auction table is an item in an ordinary small clay bottle.
"The second lot, Vitex Fruit Spice, is a thorn fruit from the Tumis Desert, which can be used in bathing and winemaking, and the specific value does not need to be explained in detail......"
"Two gold coins. ”
"Two golds and ten silvers"
"Eight Gold Coins......
Eventually, the vial was bought by a lady in a higher seat on the second floor, which was even a little more expensive than the black market, but the buyer obviously didn't care.
"Third lot, freshwater pearl necklace ......"
"The fourth ...... The fifth ......"
"The Assassin's Hand Crossbow, handcrafted by an Imperial Master Craftsman, is beautiful and simple, and will provide the protection you need most, when you need it. ”
"Ten gold coins. ”
"Fifteen ......"
"Twenty gold odds. "A lean merchant loudly inflated the price, but someone valued the crossbow more than he did......
"Twenty-eight gold coins. Loki shouted with a raised hand.
"Deal!"
The half-elf has a weapon business, the steel cross crossbow is especially the fist commodity, and he doesn't care too much about dozens of gold coins, so he buys it for reference and the design......
There was a discerning auction house guy who came directly to collect the gold coins, because this crossbow was small, so he immediately packed the goods and handed them over to the half-elves.
"The next piece of the card, the lion-faced shield, this is no ordinary shield, it was once the equipment of a gladiator champion in the royal capital, and it was stained with the blood of his countless opponents. ”
"Barren Divine Comedy, a reproduction of some of Master Lowry's manuscripts, mostly poems created by the common people, two gold coins starting at auction......"
The price of all the items in the auction house is not low, and the starting point is mostly measured in gold coins.
Not to mention the local civilians, even some ordinary merchants or adventurers can't afford to buy gold coins, and most of the time they can only watch the excitement.
Later, Loki bought a 'five-stringed piano score', which is a musical instrument that bards often carry, and this book brings together some popular tunes from the royal capital, and buys it back to give to little Fatuna, who likes music.
The auction house may have a variety of items, as well as hand-copied notes on Bible doctrines of different faiths, and even a suspected demon-related item, the coccyx of a small devil has been auctioned off.
On the auction table, another orc woman of the clan who was bound by chains was brought up.
"The beauty of the cat family, with smooth skin and hair, and a naturally flexible physique, is the stunner in every man's heart. ”
Loki frowned, he knew that this Blue Water Auction House had a strong background and was also involved in the slave side of the transaction.
Some slaves of humans, half-elves, and clan orcs will also become commodities in the auction house
, and compared to the ordinary slave market, it is more high-end, and the price is much more expensive.
"Cat orc, a little hot, but I don't mind ......"
A fat businessman with a bulging belly, his eyes finally became energetic, staring at the bewitching cat orc, and directly quoted the price.
"Twenty gold coins. ”
Most of the "Thirty-six Golden ......" raised their hands from the VIP seats on the second floor of the duplex, and most of them were nobles or big businessmen who wore exquisite half-face masks and could recognize each other's identities.
"Forty gold coins, I'm going to decide on this beauty!" a young nobleman in the period of occurrence shouted in a somewhat strange voice as he looked at the cat orcs on the stage.
There was no one to bid on the first floor of the hall, and someone whispered that this young nobleman was the only son of the lord of the baron, Bentham Edward, who had a violent and domineering personality, and few among the nobles dared to provoke him.
"Fifty gold coins!" The fat merchant with his stomach up, his eyes full of greed, obviously didn't notice so much, and directly shouted out the price.
The butler next to him bent down to remind the merchant.
"What, the only son of the Edwards?" the fat merchant looked to his seat not far away, and saw a pair of fire-breathing eyes, from the son of the young baron.
The fat merchant was a little panicked, he was a big slave merchant from the royal capital, and he had some aristocratic background, but in Bluewater City, he really didn't dare to provoke the baron's son.
Bentham Edward's face was gloomy, and he didn't add the price of the cat orc slave.
In the end, the cat-orc-man beauty was bought by the obese slave trader for fifty gold coins.
The companion next to Bentham also stopped laughing colorfully, and these noble young masters began to observe the auction item again, which was also a young slave girl, a half-elf beauty.
Just after thirty gold coins, there was no one to compete with Bentham, and the baron's son got the half-elf slave girl, but his face did not improve.
After a while, the butler of the great slave merchant came over and dragged a figure in a hooded cloak with chains, although the cloak was tightly covered, but the body under it was constantly struggling, and it was still distinguishable that it was a young woman.
One of the retinues directly opened the cloak first, and it was the previous cat orc slave.
The two protruding canine teeth express anger and panic, and the curvy delicate body struggles weakly, but attracts the attention of male aristocrats.
"Young Master Bentham, my master, Mr. Westin, I apologize to you and ask for forgiveness, and I actually want to buy her and give it to you, Master Benthham, to express my awe from the royal capital......"
Accepting this cat orc slave, Bentham's face was relieved, and even the noble companion next to him breathed a sigh of relief.
"Moreover, my master, Mr. Westin, is also a big merchant in the slave business, and has a lot of goods in the royal capital, and there must be other female slaves of interest to you. ”
Bentham glanced at the seat not far away, and it was the fat merchant who was saluting him.
He said, "yes, in that case, this Mr. Westin, can get my forgiveness, the slave trader is indeed some clever fellow......"
In the ongoing auction, there are not a few slaves, and there are not only beautiful female slaves, young and strong mastiff orcs, who were bought by a noblewoman with misty eyes, no cheaper than ordinary female slaves.
The auctioneer continued, "A halfling from Shire, good at cooking, playing, storytelling, ......"
The halfling man who was handcuffed by chains, his mouth was also blocked by a rag, and he was looking at the customers under the stage with an unwilling face.
Loki recognized this familiar figure at a glance, it was the halfling Bilbom Spirits Deer, and it was only less than two days before this guy became a slave......
