Chapter 150: The Underground Black Market (Part II)
Who is so unruly? Leon and Corinna looked back at the same time.
The tall and burly figure is wrapped under the well-tailored black knight's suit, the tiger's eyes are wide-nosed and the eyes are bright, the smile on the face seems to be kind, but it makes people feel a little fake, and the short blond hair is very scratched and scattered... Leon recognized the other party at a glance, Pastin, the Silver Star Commander of the garrison of Tormond City.
Leon's eyes flashed with a fierce light, he knew very well that this guy was definitely not a good product, and he had a grudge against himself.
Pastin didn't look at Leon, his eyes were directly fixed on Corinna's face, and the smile on his face was even stronger: "Beautiful Miss Corinna, I want to buy this necklace as a gift for you, and please accept my sincerity!"
Whether it is the expression or tone of voice, it is absolutely sincere, and only those who have a heart can detect the trace of salivation hidden in his eyes.
The Tiger Knight was followed by a noble lady with heavy makeup, and when she saw her male partner hooking up with other women in person, she bit her lip vigorously and stared at Corinna with jealousy in her eyes.
Corinna snorted coldly, ignored him, turned around and took out a gold coupon from the bag she was carrying and handed it to the middle-aged woman: "100,000 gold coins, I want it!"
The middle-aged woman smiled slightly and accepted the golden coupon.
There are rules, she offered Corinna 100,000 gold coins, and unless Corinna refused, others couldn't sell it even if they offered a million.
Broken rules, she can't stay here.
"Hey, this friend is familiar, are you Miss Corinna's entourage?"
Pastin didn't feel embarrassed when he touched his nose in front of Corinna, he turned his head to look at Leon, and the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest.
He couldn't recognize Leon as an arrogant thing, and it was impossible for him not to know Leon's current identity.
deliberately pretended to be curious, but it was a mocking tone, implying that Leon was not like a nobleman.
Leon smiled, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Corinna's willow waist, nodded and said: "Knight Pastin has a good eye, I am Miss Corinna's personal entourage, thank you for your kindness, but our young lady is not bad for money!"
Corinna chuckled, and she glanced at Leon coquettishly: "Baron Leon, I don't have the honor to let you be an entourage, let's go!"
Watching Corinna and Leon flirting in front of his eyes, the corners of Pastine's mouth twitched, and his smile was a little stiff.
"Miss Corinna, it's rare to meet here, why don't we go to the Moulin Rouge pub together?" he was still a little reluctant, and actually blocked Corinna's way.
"Get out of the way," Corinna said lightly, a frost covering her pretty face.
"Miss Corinna—" Pastin's face was definitely thick enough.
But before he could finish speaking, Leon suddenly stretched out his arm to block him aside: "Please let me!"
The Tigerborn Knight didn't expect Leon to make a move, and was caught off guard and was stopped aside, his face suddenly sank, and his eyes were full of rage.
Leon's eyes were cold, and he did not avoid meeting the other party's gaze, and the invisible confrontation faintly revealed a strong smell of gunpowder, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Knight Pastin, pay attention to your identity!" Corinna walked straight forward, "This is not the place for you!"
Leon tugged at the corners of his mouth, smiled sneeringly, and left with Corinna.
Looking at the backs of the two leaving, Pastine's face was extremely pale, and his right hand was clenched into a fist and made a crunching sound.
Instinctively, his female companion sensed the danger and took a few steps back, for fear of becoming the object of Pastin's anger.
Taking a deep breath, Pastine's expression slowly returned to calm, but the poisonous color in his eyes could not dissipate.
"This guy is such a nuisance!"
Back on the street, Corinna took the initiative to hold Leon's arm and said softly: "But don't be too impulsive, his background is very unusual, if you fight him, you will definitely suffer." ”
"It's only for you that I'm so impulsive..."Leon smiled, but his eyes were still fierce.
Afraid of things, it's definitely not his surname!
"You must be very good at coaxing girls..."Corinna glared at him, and shoved the wooden box containing the necklace into Leon's arms: "There is this necklace, and you will have an explanation when you go back!"
"But you have to remember that it doesn't matter if you wear it casually at home, if you go to a banquet or something, you must not show it, otherwise you may get into trouble. ”
"The real value of this necklace is at least more than 200,000 gold coins!"
Of course, Leon could understand what Corinna meant, and the price of this necklace was more than half the price, because it could not see the light.
"Don't worry, I didn't buy water-based magic jewelry to take it back and coax girls..."
......... The centerpiece of the underground black market is undoubtedly a large circular building in the center, which has a long history as the Colosseum, built by goblins for the entertainment of the black elves.
Texts excavated from the dungeon show that during the dungeon's heyday, thousands of black elf nobles, warriors, merchants, and others would gather here on the last day of every week to watch the bloody battle between slaves and monsters.
At its busiest, the entire Colosseum is soaked in blood, and it is said that when the Colosseum was renovated and rebuilt, the dark red soil dug out of the ground was more than a dozen feet deep!
Thousands of years have passed, the roars and howls that once reverberated in the Colosseum have long been lost, and this huge building has been transformed into a noble clubhouse, which houses an opera house, a restaurant, a salon and an auction house.
After showing their VIP cards, Leon and Corinna were led into the rotunda by a beautiful rabbit-born maid.
Stepping on the thick velvet carpet, the two walked through a labyrinth of winding corridors and finally came to a luxurious box.
Here, Leon got a real taste of the extravagance of the nobles and wealthy merchants of Tormond's upper class, with a box that could easily accommodate a dozen people, a beautiful furnishings, a row of wine cabinets next to it for guests to enjoy, and two maids with a revealing sense of surname serving in the box.
Through the large glass window in front, you can clearly see the auction table in a dozen steps below, and a middle-aged fox man in a black dress is standing on the stage.
Behind him were dozens of young girls holding silver plates, all of which were covered with silk cloths, making it impossible to see them.
Further on, you could see the ring-shaped boxes, and to Leon's great surprise, the glass windows were all hazy, and it was impossible to see inside.
"There is a special circle outside the crystal window, so we can see the outside, but we can't see the inside from the outside. Corinna clearly saw what Leon was thinking.
Isn't that the same as single-reflective glass?
"And how are we going to auction here?" asked Leon.
"See the crystal ball on the table?" Corinna said, pointing to the low table in front of the sofa, "There is a magic circle under the box that connects to the outside, and we can hear the outside sound here, and you just need to press your hand on the crystal ball, and what you say can be heard by the auctioneer, so that you can bid!"
Leon really admires the magic civilization of this world.
Compared with the scientific and technological civilization of his original world, this magical civilization is mysterious and powerful, although it may be far less numerous than the scientific and technological civilization, but in some aspects it is far surpassed.
"But you have to remember that you must not bid indiscriminately, and if you can't pay for the auction, you will be disqualified immediately!" Corinna reminded.
"That's terrible, I don't have much money with me, but I still owe you 100,000 gold coins!" Leon laughed.
In fact, after Corinna helped him buy the string of water blue hearts, Leon felt almost the same, but since he didn't come to see the grand occasion of this underground auction, he was really sorry for himself.
However, when Corinna understood his intention to buy water-based magic jewelry, she immediately offered to help him take a second look, but she couldn't find a suitable product in a few shops, so she decided to try her luck at the auction.
After all, the goods that can be released for auction are usually top-notch goods.
"Those things of yours, the magic crystal is directly valued and purchased, three ounces of Mithril and ten ounces of star sand gold I have put on the auction floor tonight, and it is estimated that at least 100,000 gold coins can be auctioned, and there are almost 200,000 with the magic crystal. Corinna crossed her fingers and counted for him: "So, you can still take out more than 100,000 gold coins to shoot a piece of jewelry, if it's not enough, I'll help you make it up!"
"Thank you so much!" said Leon.
In the past, when he was in the Wuthering Forest, he felt that it was a great wealth to earn tens of hundreds of gold coins, and the food purchased by a few thousand gold coins was enough for the entire tribe to survive the cold winter.
But here, hundreds of thousands of gold coins are just the money to buy a necklace, and the gap is too big.
From it, Leon also saw the extravagance and depravity of the upper nobles of Beamon, and the extravagant and enjoyable life wore away the brave and fearless spirit in the bloodline of these Beamon beasts, and became comfortable and unenterprising.
So in the kingdom, there is always a voice that compromises with the elves.
If this continues, sooner or later it will be destroyed!, Leon thought silently in his heart.
He didn't even know if his persistence and hard work would make it to the end in the context of the kingdom.
But even if the road ahead is full of thorns, Leon has no regrets, because there is a group of like-minded partners and comrades-in-arms by his side, accompanying him all the way!
Since you've come to this world, why don't you go and do it vigorously?
Thinking of this, Leon's mind became firm again.
Boom!
A wooden mallet slammed on the wooden table, and the auction officially began!
