Chapter 25: The Mermaid

A black, opaque curtain cage covers a large square object.

Judging by the naturally recessed shape of the curtain, what is covered inside appears to be a cage.

Fryk put the megaphone in his hand next to him, and some faint sounds of water began to echo in everyone's ears, making people wonder what was inside.

After satisfying everyone's appetite, Frick grinned and gestured to the waiter next to him.

"In order to fully mobilize everyone's enthusiasm and interest before the opening, our Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce has been planning for a long time, and finally bought this special gift from a distant coastal country, please see!"

The curtain was instantly torn off by the attendants on the side, and a huge cage was presented in front of everyone.

"Shhhh

"It's beautiful......"

"Legends on ......"

The exclamation instantly resounded throughout the venue, and these noble professionals and nobles were obviously shocked by the auction.

In the cage, a large transparent water tank sits horizontally, and there is nothing else in the tank, except for a mermaid who is naked and stunningly beautiful.

The sea blue hair, jewel-like eyes, delicate white skin, slender and attractive fish tail, full breasts and straight body are all addictive.

The mermaid's lovely face was filled with fear in the eyes of everyone, and she glanced helplessly around, as if she wanted to escape from the place that scared her.

"Mermaid!"

Fryk's excited announcement resounded throughout the room.

"Many of you here may not have seen a living mermaid, and even if they do, it is probably not as beautiful as the one we show here!"

"As we all know, although our Wagner Kingdom is not in the center of the Southern Continent, it is also very far away from the sea, and the layers of mountains cut us off from the sea, so that we have no way to accept the gifts of the sea."

"Now, our Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, in order to be able to prepare this satisfactory opening ceremony for everyone, has come from the sea to get one of the specialties there, mermaid slaves!"

"Purchase, Transport, Maintenance...... A series of procedures have consumed at least nearly 3,000 gold coins of our Chamber of Commerce, but for the sake of your ability to have fun today, we will not hesitate to do so! ”

"Now, the first commodity, the mermaid female *** subordinate, has a starting price of one copper coin, and each increase must not be less than one gold coin! The auction has officially begun! ”

With a shout from Fryk, the sound of bidding rang out in the venue.

Compared with the professionals, the performance of the nobles is much more positive, not to mention the small nobles for the time being, the gold coins in the hands of several big nobles in Ryan City are more than the average apprentice-level professionals.

Soon, the minor nobles and professionals withdrew one after another, and the auction price soon exceeded 3,000 gold coins due to the mutual price of several large nobles, and rushed towards 4,000 gold coins.

"Legend on top...... A slave, all crazy......"

An apprentice-level professional next to Sean looked at the spell projection on the stage in shock, and the number on it was constantly soaring, breaking through five thousand in an instant, reaching a frighteningly high price.

The price of an ordinary adult male Terran slave is only about 20 gold coins, and the price of a woman is higher or lower depending on appearance or other factors, but at most it is only a hundred gold coins, and it is very rare to be able to break through five hundred.

Common orc slaves, such as foxes, cats, dogs, etc., high-quality females are sold for about two hundred to one thousand gold coins, and even elves with a long lifespan generally never exceed five thousand gold coins.

But now, the price of such a mermaid, which is worth more than 1,000 gold coins at most in the coastal area, has been raised to more than five times the original price.

Maybe that's what makes scarcity more expensive...... Sean thought, waiting for the final result, he had no desire to participate.

It's not that there is any humanitarianism, and that the workers who can survive in Pheren basically don't feel sympathy for slaves, but because Sean's view of consumption doesn't allow it.

Don't say that he doesn't have the money, even if he has money, he won't buy this kind of slave through auction like a big man, if there is really a demand, then he can buy a Terran slave to deal with it, it is really not his style to spend so much unjust money for a rare gimmick.

Fortunately, these nobles still had a trace of sanity, and after a short period of brain fever, the price quickly stabilized at five thousand eight hundred.

"Five thousand eight hundred and once—"

"Five thousand eight hundred and two—"

"Five thousand eight hundred and thirty-three—"

"Good! Congratulations to the gentleman in box four, our staff will be coming to meet you soon, please wait a while. ”

Fryk shouted, in fact, his smile had not broken since he started shouting.

"Next up is the second lot......"

In the constant sound of quotations, time passed quickly.

During this period, there were a few auction items that Sean liked, and he tried to shout a few times, but unfortunately in the end, the price of those things was still beyond his affordability, so he had no choice but to give up.

It wasn't until a ring-shaped magical item appeared that Sean spent 70 gold coins and almost emptied his pocket to photograph it.

The ring is enchanted with only one spell with runes, and that is an apprentice-level potential boost that can be used once a day.

As the name suggests, the effect of this spell can cause Sean to burst into powerful potential for a short period of time, during which time Sean's mental power is greatly activated, which can attract more free aether to join the spell model, making the spell more powerful, and reducing or even canceling the chant time of the spell.

In addition, during the potential stimulation period, the user's physical fitness will be comprehensively strengthened, and the user will be given terrifying endurance and mental toughness.

It's a pity that these effects don't help Sean much as a mage, so I won't go into details.

Use cooling is a day.

Possession of cooldowns is a trait common to most Magic items.

Unlike alchemy items that can be used a limited number of times, spells enchanted with their runes often cost the user's own mana.

The difference between spells released by magic items and those released by the mages themselves is that the activation of spells on magic items does not require chanting and building spell models, which is equivalent to having two super magic skills, "Spell Instant" and "Spell Extreme".

The effect of the super magic technique spell is to keep the effect of the spell to the maximum, and ignore the influence of the environment, if this super magic skill is used by the mage himself, it will increase the consumption of the spell, but put it on the equipment, there is no problem at all.
