Chapter 12: The Soul of the Water Moon
"Miss Yin Sabel, there are some things that you can't talk nonsense. Just because I have a fiancée and can't marry you, I hate you out of love and try to slander my reputation, which is too vicious. ”
As he spoke, Hudson lifted Yin Sabel's chin with one hand, full of warning.
Seeing this scene, Yin Shabel was directly dumbfounded. is such a shameless dumping of the pot, and it is clear that he does not intend to admit it.
"Hate because of love", this is to make her bear all the notoriety.
However, this statement is still in line with the mainstream thinking. On the one hand, she is the fiancée of a nobleman who is the right person, and on the other hand, she is a beautiful singer, and it is self-evident which one to choose.
Deny?
The Holy See wants to silence her, and this seemingly lustful guy in front of her may not want her to leave alive.
didn't do it directly, mostly out of reputational considerations. Aristocrats can be amorous, but nobles cannot be ruthless.
Even the "lover" around him can be killed at will, which will not only make the followers feel insecure, but even the Holliser family will doubt whether this marriage is correct.
People are blindly obedient, and many things are inevitably "brain supplements". Hudson and Yin Sabel have been in contact so many times that everyone has long believed that there is a lover relationship between them.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Viscount. My mind is a little muddy, can you let me go first. It's easy for me to be stupid when you toss people so much! ”
Yin Sabel said stubbornly.
knew that Hudson was acting, so she could only cooperate. Her intuition told her that whether she could get out of it or not depended on the rest of the conversation.
"Miss Yin Sabel, you don't mean what you say. Obviously you are lying in my arms, how can you beat a rake?
Now I need an explanation, an explanation that will compensate for the damage to my reputation. If my fiancée found out, she would be upset. ”
As he spoke, Hudson's hands became more and more aggressive. Tell Yin Shabel with actual actions that if he continues to show off his amorous feelings, he will not be polite.
The aristocracy will only judge by their own manners. A beautiful woman came to the door several times if Hudson said he hadn't done anything.
I'm afraid that what people think will definitely not be that "Master Hudson" is of noble character, but that they should wonder if he is not in good health.
This kind of loss can't be eaten in vain, and you can't wash yourself, so you can only do the rumors and enjoy the blessings first.
Yin Shabel, who is accustomed to seeing all kinds of routines and knows men very well, has secretly complained at the moment.
This guy in front of him is too sensible. is obviously full of desire for her, but he still doesn't forget to grasp the initiative, as if he wants to play with her in the palm of his hand.
"You're all acting?"
Yin Sabel asked in a trembling voice.
"Haha......"
"Miss Yin Shabel, sure enough, Bing Xue is smart, and she found the problem so quickly.
However, today's vulnerabilities are all too obvious. The guards let you in without hindrance, and if you think about it, you'll know there's a problem.
Now the people of the mysterious organization have left with their things, and I have received the items traded, so everyone can take what they need.
The only hidden danger is you.
Don't be afraid, I'm a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, a delicate beauty is in my arms, and I still can't do it.
Just for your safety, you can't leave for a long time to come.
I know that Miss Yin Sabel is strong, and she will definitely not be happy to eat idle meals. Why don't you show some value and let me see ......"
Hearing this explanation, Yin Shabel's beautiful eyes rolled over, leaned directly against Hudson, and whispered in his ear: "I'm like this, what else do you want?"
I know very little about the occult organization. Tell you all about it, and there won't be anything substantial.
Talent show, I'm afraid that before the performance is finished, some people can't help but be beastly. Neither will anyone else! ”
This is true, what the singer group learns seems to be a talent, but it is actually a means to deal with men.
For example, now, the fragrant scene makes Hudson a little unbearable.
"After spending so much time in the occult organization, you should always learn something. For example, how to collect intelligence and train intelligence officers?
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't. Take out your means of serving people, sir, I ......"
Halfway through the sentence, Yin Shabel's tears fell waterily, and she lay on Hudson's neck and cried.
's professional-level acting skills made Hudson understand that the woman in front of him was not so easy to accept.
Take advantage of the weakness to enter, and it is easy to hold the beauty. wants her to work hard, but it's not ordinarily difficult. Encountering the abandonment of a mysterious organization, Yin Sabel is full of vigilance against the outside world.
After all, it came out of that kind of place, and I am used to seeing the scene of exchanging my body for survival resources. Now I'd rather be taken advantage of by Hudson than get involved in a new turmoil.
Hudson also expected this scene. If he could be easily subdued, he would have to wonder if it was an undercover agent sent by a mysterious organization.
The adverse effects have already been done, and the only thing we can do now is to follow the trend and reduce the impact as much as possible.
The outside world thinks yes, that's good. As long as there is no new big news, just a romantic affair will soon be forgotten.
If he can't use Yin Sabel's ability, he will stay as a vase to show his charm as Lord Hudson.
To talk about feelings is to bring humiliation upon oneself. A woman can mix well in the singer group, and her heart is already dead.
The only trouble is that the fiancée's side needs to explain, but this is easy to do. As a noble lady, this kind of thing is definitely not uncommon, and her inner tolerance will not be bad.
It is better to have a scandal with the same singer than to have a relationship with other aristocratic ladies. No matter how beautiful the singer is, the threshold of identity cannot be crossed after all.
……
The opening of the auction dismantles the fragrant atmosphere in the room. watched the lively melon eating bears on the side, but at the moment he fell into deep thought.
In the world of bears, there is no such scene. When you meet the female bear you like, go up and mate directly and you're done.
The scene in front of him made Bear Stearns directly confused. With Xiong Sheng's experience, he couldn't understand the relationship between the two at all.
Perhaps in order to attract more people to participate, the war horses were not packaged and sold, but were auctioned according to the model of a group of 100 horses.
This made the elders who secretly agreed to divide the war horses very unhappy. After the dismantling, the minor nobles also had the capital to bid.
Maybe a family will have a little difficulty buying a hundred war horses, but a few relatives and friends will get together, and it will not be a problem in an instant.
When there are more people participating, the price will naturally go up. After tentatively quoting the price of fifteen hundred gold coins, Hudson became a spectator.
After the price of the first group of war horses exceeded 2,000 gold coins, the number of people participating in the auction suddenly decreased a lot. In the end, it was sold at a sky-high price of 2,800 gold coins.
Hudson's face grew ugly, and the price exceeded the market price. Spending such a big price to buy a war horse is too cost-effective.
Although he knocked a stroke from the mysterious organization, it still can't change the fact that he is a poor ghost. Instead of spending a lot of gold coins to snap up war horses, it is better to go back and train the infantry.
Seeing groups of horses being robbed, Hudson knew that the previous agreement was nullified.
Compared to the people in the box, the small nobles below are the majority. Because the demand is small, it can bear a higher premium.
A family purchases ten horses and eight war horses, even if the premium is fifty percent, it will only increase one hundred and eighty gold coins.
But Hudson can't, the shortfall of thousands of war horses, if all are purchased at a premium, the excess budget is an astronomical amount.
Not only did Hudson not make a move, but almost none of the nobles in the box participated in the competition.
The war horses fell into the hands of the small nobles of each county, which also enhanced everyone's survivability on the battlefield. There is no need to compete with the younger brother as the eldest brother.
The main reason is that the price is too expensive, and the strong financial resources are also slowly accumulated by the ancestors, and the losers are not allowed to toss.
After the auction of war horses, the atmosphere of the venue was also pushed to a climax. The sky-high transaction figures continue to stimulate Hudson's nerves.
No wonder these businessmen like to hold auctions. If it is sold outside, without so many potential customers competing for it, these war horses will definitely not be sold at such a sky-high price.
If you set up an auction house, I am afraid that you can make money just by taking the commission......
Suddenly, Hudson found that this kind of lucrative business had nothing to do with him.
The reason why there are so many people at the auction is because this is the city of Bayda. As the capital of the southeastern province, it has the strongest purchasing power in the province.
Resting on the corner of the mountain collar, who is full of food and support, and wants to run to the poor country to trade?
"The next auction item is our finale item of the day, a magical magic wand - the soul of the water moon!
It is said to be from the hands of the first alchemist in the mainland, Master Kembo Yin.
It is inlaid with an eighth-level magic core, and it is also equipped with an energy replenishment device. As long as the mana in the magic core is not depleted all at once, it can be replenished with magic crystals.
When releasing water magic, it can reduce the mana consumption by 30%, and increase the original power by 20%, except for forbidden spells!
The minimum starting price is 8,000 gold coins, and each increase must not be less than 500 gold coins. ”
The auctioneer's words instantly detonated the audience. A magic wand that reduces the consumption of mana by 30% and increases the power by 20% is rare on weekdays.
Whoever has such a treasure in his hands will keep it for his own people. Even if you can't use it now, there will always be people in future generations who will use it.
Exiled to the auction, it is likely because of the war, and a certain nobleman who treasures this thing can't bear the territorial finances, so he can only endure the pain.
"Ten thousand gold coins!"
Hudson didn't hesitate to raise his card.
As a magician, it is really unreasonable not to participate in the competition when encountering such a high-grade magic wand.
Although for Hudson, it was a bit of a chicken rib. But it's still good to take it out as a gift.
His fiancée is a water magician, although it is used by a junior magician, it is purely a violent thing, who makes Hudson take the blame?
What's more, even if this kind of gift is given, it will still be brought back in the future. The meat is in the pot after all.
"Twelve thousand gold coins!"
"Thirteen thousand gold coins!"
……
The price rose rubbly, and soon broke through the 20,000 mark, and it still didn't stop.
"Twenty thousand and five hundred gold coins!"
"Twenty-five thousand gold coins!"
Raising the card again, a one-time increase of 4,500 gold coins is already a low price in Hudson's heart.
Take out so much money to come out, just for the sake of the Pomeranian people to laugh. Deep down, he couldn't help but secretly complain that he was crazy.
It's a pity that it's not just Hudson who is crazy, the family with the water magister is the real madness.
"Thirty-five thousand gold coins!"
As soon as this number came out, countless people on the field gasped. A one-time increase of 10,000 gold coins is clearly inevitable.
"The distinguished guest in box No. 3 quoted 35,000 gold coins, is there anything higher?
This is the work of Master Kemboyin, not only the power of the wand itself is valuable, but also the production method of the wand is also highly valuable for research and collection. ”
The auctioneer encouraged hard.
It's a pity that what everyone values now is the practical value, and as for the research and collection value, it is completely dispensable for a magic wand at this price.
"Thirty-five thousand gold coins once!"
The auctioneer's hammer sounded, and Hudson had been reduced to a spectator. If he had a water magister in his family, maybe he would still fight hard, so forget it now!
"Thirty-six thousand gold coins!"
"The distinguished guest in box No. 2 bids 36,000 gold coins, and there is a higher ......"
"Forty thousand gold coins!"
……
The battle became more and more bloody, and as the nobles in the box frantically raised their prices, Hudson was a little suspicious that his offer was not gold, but copper.
Rushing all the way up, it was finally sold at a sky-high price of 83,000 gold coins. Hudson exclaimed: Incredible!
After calming down, Hudson quickly accepted reality. The price of magic weapons has never been lower.
This "Soul of the Water Moon" magic wand can reduce the magic consumption by three percent and increase the magic output by two percent, which is completely the king bomb in the battle of the strongest of the same level.
The water magister took this thing to the battlefield, and it was not a dream to fight one against two. If you play sneak attack, you can stun the enemy at once.
It is equivalent to the combat power of an extra magister out of thin air, and it can still be passed on, is 83,000 gold coins still expensive?
The main reason is that there are not many water system magic masters in the southeast province, otherwise this battle will probably be even more cruel.
If you take it to the imperial capital and go to auction, it is possible to rush to 100,000 gold coins. For some veteran aristocrats who have accumulated a lot of money, the gold coin is really just a number.
After the climax, the next auction, everyone's enthusiasm was much lower. Several items in a row have not been able to sell for a good price.
Hudson also took the opportunity to buy two good elven bows, as the famous "Sharpbow Knight", it is really unreasonable to prepare a few more good bows.
The number of elven bows that have fallen out is not small, but it is not a small number either. It's not a magic weapon, there's no magic bonus, everyone's enthusiasm for competition is not high, and Hudson is cheaper.
"Now for the second finale of the auction, yes, these two beautiful elf ladies.
There are not many pure-blooded moon elves in the entire continent. Take it out, definitely save face.
Originally, the employer wanted to split the auction, but these two elf ladies were unwilling to separate.
The employer is a great knight and is not willing to do such a difficult thing as a strong man. So this pair of elf sisters took out the flowers together and put them up for auction.
The starting price is 5,000 gold coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 300 gold coins, and the auction will start now. ”
Listening to the auctioneer's words, Hudson almost sprayed Yin Sabel with a mouthful of water. Slave traders can also be associated with chivalry.
I don't know where this auctioneer was found by the Dalton family, and he is so shameless.
Of course, presiding over the auction is also a necessary quality for being thick-skinned.
Regardless of the condition of the auction item, the flowers must be blown out before they can be sold for a good price.
"Five thousand three hundred gold coins!"
"Five thousand six hundred gold coins!"
"Six thousand gold coins!"
……
Watching the boxes constantly raise signs to compete, Hudson directly looked lively. The pair of elven beauties on the stage were indeed beautiful, but that wasn't enough to get him into the bidding.
Vaguely, Hudson noticed that something was wrong. The Spirit of the Water Moon appeared in the southeastern provinces, and it may also be a collection taken out by local nobles.
The outside world is easy to sell for a high price, and the outside world is also dangerous. Ordinary nobles simply do not have the ability to bring home a large amount of gold coins.
But this pair of elf sisters is different, and they can't sell for a good price in the southeast province at all. The front line is fighting so fiercely, even if you have money in your pocket, you can't squander it casually.
Don't look at the enthusiasm of the participation of the nobles, look at the speed of the price increase, and you can know that everyone has no intention of winning at all.
Even if you buy it, the probability of taking it home and enjoying it yourself is not high. Either take it out for gifts, or take it out to make a deal with someone else.
In this context, it is simply impossible to sell for a good price.
It is impossible for a shrewd slave trader not to see this. But I still have to take it to the southeast province to sell, isn't it incompatible with money?
