Chapter 13, fiancée is not easy to mess with
Sure enough, after the price broke 10,000, the nobles stopped shouting.
The beauty of the elves, combined with their innate natural aura, was always very popular in the slave market.
Short supply often means huge profits, ordinary elf slaves can be sold for thousands of gold coins, and the high-quality goods are as high as thousands of gold coins, and tens of thousands of transactions have not happened uncommonly.
The huge profits gave birth to the prosperity of the slavery industry. Every year, there are countless slave catchers who go deep into the elven forest.
Although the elven kingdom is cracking down, it still can't stop the greedy people's hearts. No matter how closely guarded, there are times when there are omissions.
Most of the slave hunting teams have gone and never returned, but there are still successful slave hunters in the end. Every year, there are dozens or hundreds of elven slaves.
It seems that there are a lot of them, but they can be distributed throughout the Aslant continent, and they have become cherished all of a sudden.
With their unique temperament, elves are in line with the aesthetics of almost all intelligent races except Warcraft.
It was not only humans who participated in the slave hunt, but other races also contributed.
Fortunately, the elves' cultivation talent is good, and with the long longevity, the strong people in the clan are endless.
Coupled with the unique terrain of the Elven Forest, this is able to block the prying eyes of the outside world.
Moon elves are relatively rare, and the two sister flowers are also stunning. The premium to 10,000 gold coins is still the bottom line in everyone's hearts.
Before the outbreak of war, the price could have increased by at least three to five thousand gold coins. Now everyone is tightening their belts to live, and there is no arrogance on weekdays.
The price fell short of expectations, and the auctioneer was sweating profusely. If the customer refuses to bid, there is nothing he can do.
You can't deliberately arrange people to raise the price, right? If such a scandal really happens, the reputation of the auction house will be stinky.
The nobles who participated in the auction were not soft persimmons, and they could lift their swords and kill people when they launched a rush.
involves many nobles, no matter how hard the background is, in the case of a loss, you can only admit it.
The atmosphere was not adjusted, and in the next auction, everyone's enthusiasm for participation was not high.
Before making an offer, people always have to think twice. Once most items are close to the market price, no one will increase the price again.
As a melon eater, Hudson didn't care about the transaction price of goods.
The low transaction price seems to be due to emotions, but in fact it is the fault of the war.
If you look at the auction, you can see that everything related to war or can improve one's strength is not cheap.
The ones that can't be sold at a high price are basically luxury goods that were highly respected in the past, and there have even been unsuccessful auctions.
Despite the efforts of the auctioneer, it was in vain in the face of a group of customers who tightened their belts and consumed rationally.
"The last auction item, a mysterious treasure map. According to the owner of the treasure map, the location recorded in the treasure map is a secret vault left by the Empire of Light for the restoration of the country.
In order to protect everyone's interests, we have identified the age of the treasure map, which is at least 350 years old.
What the Empire of Light means, everyone knows it in their hearts. One can imagine how valuable a treasure left by an empire is to restore the country.
Rumors about the treasure have also been recorded in the history books. I don't think anyone would have come up with a fake treasure map to joke with us more than 300 years ago.
In this auction, there is no minimum starting price, and there is no limit to the amount of markup, and the auction is now open. ”
As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, the hall was boiling, and the guests began to discuss the treasure map.
"Treasure map" is almost a necessary way to make a fortune for travelers. Hudson is also extremely hot-eyed, just a treasure map that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and it is really difficult for him to fight for it desperately.
Even if the treasure map is real, it doesn't mean that the treasure is still there. Leaving Hudson on him, he didn't mind taking the treasure first and then selling the treasure map.
If the treasure is not taken out, it only proves that the treasure is buried in too dangerous places, or that the so-called treasure is a trap.
Just because normal people don't set traps doesn't mean that cults can't. The so-called treasure is an altar against evil gods.
Watching the lower nobles below, Hudson silently mourned for them. Trying to get rich overnight through treasure hunting, this probability is not much higher than playing the lottery.
Not only did Hudson not make a move, but all the nobles in the box did not participate in the treasure map competition.
The benefits and risks are equal, and the small nobles who are precarious in the troubled times can choose to gamble, but the old nobles with big families can't gamble.
The reality is cruel, and even if the treasure is real, it is difficult for everyone to make another class jump.
From the middle nobles to the big nobles, it seems that there is only one step away, but this last step threshold goes straight into the sky.
What can cross over is not because of ability, let alone hard work, but because of illusory luck.
In the case that the cake did not get bigger, the position of the upper layer had long been a radish and a pit. New turnips want to grow unless you pull out the radishes in front of you.
Under the existing rule system, unless the big nobles above have their own problems, or they are cool on the battlefield, the latecomers have no chance at all.
……
"Sir, Viscount Oran, please come over for a banquet tonight."
What should come will come eventually, but this efficiency is inevitably too high. As soon as the auction ended, the old man placed an invitation.
"Got it! Tell the visitor that I will be on time in the evening. ”
If you can't hide from it, you can only face it. A romantic affair is not big or small, but in the final analysis, it is a matter of face.
As far as Hudson knew, his father-in-law had many lovers outside, and even had a few illegitimate children.
Everyone is the same, and no one is much taller than anyone else. The only problem is that the standards are different, and the requirements for a son-in-law and the requirements for oneself must not be the same.
The aristocracy inevitably had to pay attention to the cards and often went to the city of Beda to carry out activities, and Hudson inevitably followed the customs of the locals and bought real estate in the city.
Compared with the sky-high prices of the royal capital, the housing prices of Beida are still much more harmonious. A mansion covering an area of nearly three acres is less than a quarter of the price of the two elf sisters.
The mysterious organization does things, and it's quite atmospheric. Even the wagons that carried the boxes were left outside, directly cheapening Hudson.
Of course, nominally, these carriages, coachmen, and a few empty boxes that were hidden from others belonged to Yin Shabel.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is Yin Sabel who came to Hudson with all her net worth. People and money, a typical winner in the world.
Under the envious and jealous gaze of everyone, Hudson and Yin Sabel got into the carriage together, like a pair of loving lovers.
Since he has been targeted, he has to play a full set of acts, and any omission will bring unnecessary trouble.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and the crowd was a suspicious old man, but his face was extremely ugly.
After painstakingly arranging it for so long, report letters are flying all over the sky, but nothing has happened.
In the depths of his heart, the old man had already greeted the whole family of the bureaucrats in the Governor's Palace. It's really dereliction of duty, such a big thing, can be done as if nothing happened.
Seeing the convoy moving slowly, the old man quickly turned around and left.
"If you can't do anything, you will flash immediately". This is the main reason why he has been on the mainland for so many years and can still be at ease.
Hurriedly out of Beda City, several members of the Skull and Skeleton Society who followed the old man had very ugly faces.
The performance of his own holy lord is really too "steady". Nothing happened, and he fled out of the city like an outlaw.
"Holy Lord, what happened just now, why ......"
Before the young man could finish speaking, the old man reprimanded: "Fool! It's all exposed, and you don't even know it.
The officials of the Governor's Palace, no action, did you not notice anything unusual?
Under normal circumstances, the noble lords who reported this kind of report have always made mistakes, and they have not let go, so how can they stand still! ”
After hesitating for a moment, the old man examined himself again: "This matter is that I am too underestimated and involves a viscount with real power, how can it be handled like usual!"
Aristocrats are all people all the way, and they definitely treat their own people differently. I don't know if our letter has just been delivered, and someone else has received the message.
A big net is being laid out, waiting for us to throw it into the net. If I hadn't reacted fast enough and waited for others to find me, you wouldn't have been able to run away if you wanted to. ”
While talking, the old man still had a little more than a season. As if he was glad that he reacted decisively and did not fall for the enemy's plot.
Several members of the Skull and Bones Society behind him were also frightened at this moment. Without analysis, they didn't know, and this analysis they found that the world of the nobility was too dark.
Just mentioning Viscount Hudson almost caused himself to be killed, which directly refreshed everyone's cognition.
"Holy Lord, the people of the Holy See have never come out when they enter the auction hall.
Those guards seemed to be about the same size, but they were actually changed halfway.
They were all temporary mercenaries, so they left over the wall with their things.
Yin Shabel, who stayed, was only responsible for covering up for them. ”
Karlis, who was on the side, exclaimed.
After all, I am mixed in the Holy See, and I still have some understanding of some of the habits of the Holy See.
When it comes to the "Blood Moon Horn", this kind of special mission must be to achieve the end and unscrupulous means.
Being able to complete the task and send a singer is nothing at all.
"Brain supplement" is the most terrifying, almost surmising the truth, but unfortunately their reaction is still a step slower.
Several hours have passed, and for a master, such a long time has already reached hundreds of miles away.
If there had been air power to respond, it would have been possible for everyone to leave the southeastern province by now.
I don't even know where the enemy is leaving, and even if I want to pursue, I don't know where to go.
……
Said it was an invitation to dinner, and Hudson didn't stupidly wait for the evening to pass. As the sun began to set, Hudson's carriage appeared in the Viscount Oran's mansion.
Compared with Hudson's shabby little house, it is undoubtedly much more luxurious, covering an area of seventy or eighty acres alone.
The aristocratic mansions cover a large area and are also characteristic of the continent of Aslanth. In almost every city, most of the land was the mansions of the aristocracy.
As a "member of his own family", Hudson was warmly greeted by his servants. It can be seen that they are all professionally trained and know their duties very well.
From the layout of the house, it can be seen that there is no sign of a banquet tonight. Invite him over, most likely a private banquet, or a family banquet.
As the master, Viscount Orlan did not appear for a long time, and Hudson couldn't help but be a little flustered.
Explanation is impossible. He didn't dare to expose the deal with a mysterious organization.
For the sake of safety, Hudson did not even track down the origin of the mysterious organization.
Even in his heart, he decided that the mysterious organization was the vest of the Holy See, Hudson still spoke of a mysterious organization and resolutely refused to get involved with the Holy See.
The "Blood Moon Horn" also does not exist, and the trade does not exist. It's just that he and Yin Sabel fell in love at first sight, and then developed into a relationship.
Now this is the truth, and whoever digs it must stop at this step.
There is no way, this deal is too much. Putting aside those priceless knowledge, the magic crystals and magic cores in their hands alone are worth millions of gold coins.
These things can't be bought even with money. It's not unacceptable to sacrifice your reputation for this.
"Stealing" was caught by the old man, and it was impossible to be honest. Just thinking of Viscount Orlan's bunch of illegitimate sons, Hudson's hanging heart slowly fell again.
It's a big deal to be scolded, so it's better to not hear it. Such a small thing has not yet reached the point of getting out of the marriage.
"Melissa, why are you here?"
As soon as the words were blurted out, Hudson regretted it. A typical proposition is really to pit yourself.
"This is my home, why can't I be here! Could it be that I showed up at the wrong time and disturbed some people's affairs......"
Before Melissa could finish speaking, Hudson rushed up and gagged her and took her in his arms.
At this time, if you are reasonable, something big will definitely happen. Just be presumptuous and get through this pass first.
"Let go of me!"
As he struggled to finish, Hudson kissed him again. The weak little magician can't break free at all.
The original Xingshi questioning gradually turned into flirting and scolding. The servants in the room silently retreated, this kind of thing is not for them to mix.
"Hudson, I'll call someone if you do this again."
The anger is still there, but compared with the previous indifference, it has changed a little.
"Shout it! I've set up a magical barrier, and no matter how much you shout, you can't get out.
Even if someone sees it, with our relationship, who will come over and have a lot of trouble! ”
As he spoke, a magical soundproof magic enchantment enveloped the two of them.
Melissa, who was originally menacing, was instantly dumbfounded. A pair of big eyes stared at Hudson, as if to say: I'm angry, this matter is not over with you!
It's a pity that all this is almost zero in the lethality of Hudson. You're not welcome at the moment, and directly checked the body of your fiancée.
"Stop, don't mess around here!"
As she spoke, a hint of trepidation flashed in Melissa's eyes. After all, she is a girl, how have she seen this battle. lest Hudson go one step further and ...... her right here
Seeing this, Hudson decisively stopped. It's okay to make a show, but it's really going to be a big deal.
It's a meeting room, and someone can come by at any time. Taking advantage of the situation, flirting and scolding, no one will say anything, and if it goes further, Viscount Oran will have to be mad.
"Do you want to go to your room?"
Hudson asked tentatively.
"No way!"
Melissa said in trepidation.
At this moment, she no longer bothered to settle accounts with Hudson, but was thinking about how to escape the clutches.
Having sex with your fiancé before marriage is also considered inappropriate in the aristocratic world. Such a reputation has a bad impact on both sides.
It's just that the difference is that Hudson's reputation has already spread, and there is no hope of recovering it, and the possibility of breaking the jar cannot be ruled out.
"When did you come back, why didn't you notify me?"
For a moment, Hudson changed his concerned face again. The process is not important, first solve the current trouble.
"Humph!"
With a cold snort, Melissa, who had recovered, couldn't help but mock: "When some people were in the royal capital, they promised me.
How long did it take for him to be taken into the house. If I come back later, will I be able to attend your wedding? ”
"Wedding" does not exist, if you dare to take a singer to get started, it is estimated that the Coslow family will have to fry the pot first. I don't know if Baron Redman is going to pick up a whip and settle accounts with Hudson.
The younger brothers under him will most likely switch sides. Everyone knows that following an unreliable boss has no future.
"How can a mere singer compare with you? People sent it to the door themselves, can I be blamed for this?
If it weren't for the accident, some people would have come through earlier, and there would be no such thing now. ”
As he spoke, Hudson took Melissa into his arms again, and his hands continued to roam over her.
Melissa, who realized that something was wrong, hurriedly pushed it away and said, "Don't mess around, my father is still waiting for you in the study, don't let him wait." ”
Hudson laughed out loud as he looked at Melissa, who was flushed.
Knowing that the two were going to have a conflict, he asked his daughter to come over for interrogation, but the father-in-law was afraid that he was not ready to let him go.
But thinking that the flag in Viscount Oran's house is not falling, and the colorful flags are fluttering outside, there is nothing to do, maybe he really doesn't take this as a thing.
"Got it! But someone still has to prepare, and if you go out like this now, I'm afraid everyone will think that I have done something to you. ”
Hudson said with a wicked grin.
His intuition told him that if he really messed up, there was a high probability that he would be able to succeed today.
As for whether he will be hunted down by Viscount Oran afterwards, it is difficult to say.
Hudson thought it was better not to try something exciting. Even if you want to steal the forbidden fruit, you have to change places, and it can't happen under the nose of your father-in-law.
Would you like to try inviting Melissa over?
As soon as this idea was born, Hudson decisively extinguished it. There's also a singer at home who hasn't dealt with it, so wouldn't it be a Shura field to let his fiancée go over.
