The noisy crowd gradually quieted down.

More and more people raised their heads, looked at the beautiful girl on the screen, and listened intently.

Even when Nana tried to push them away, she rarely drew a scolding, for their attention had already been drawn to the summer night's speech.

Language has power.

Nana could clearly feel the sound of speech echoing over the harbor, as if something heavy was pressing down little by little......

At the same time, it seems that there are countless invisible silk threads that stretch into everyone's body, hooking out some inexplicable emotion......

People are in a strange state of silence but fanatism.

By the time Nana finally squeezed to the front, the speech was nearing its end. She finally saw it, although it wasn't very clear, but the beautiful girl standing on the stage was indeed Lord Summer Night.

“…… In the future, we will also build more whaling ships and recruit more people, and we will hunt more whales and harvest more whale oil......"

The silent crowd was ignited by the words, as if thousands or hundreds of Aether ramjets roared at the same time. Nana was stunned for several seconds before she finally realized what the people were cheering for.

Immediately afterward, she followed the crowd in cheering.

- Lord Summer Night will form a fleet and recruit crew members in the future, which means that I will have a chance to become one of them in the future?!

Nana was suddenly full of anticipation for the future.

The presentation continued:

“…… In the future, we may or may not be able to hunt whales bigger than this beluga whale, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that we will sail into the Aetheric Sea with ambition, confidence and courage to conquer everything we see and where we go......"

Summernight-sama's tone was not impassioned, but her words seemed to have a magical power that stirred up everyone's emotions.

“…… Today's auction is our first step towards a bright future. This unprecedented beluga whale has a total of 800 tons of whale oil, which we will divide into 20 parts and conduct an auction under the organization of the Whale Oil Exchange, which can be participated by any company or individual who meets the bidding requirements. This beluga whale belongs to me, Captain Ahab, and all the crew involved in the hunt, but it also belongs to you, to you, and I am willing to bestow the glory of defeating it on this city, Debussota. ”

The audience was boiling again, and Nana cheered along. She couldn't tell why she was so excited, and her whole body was dizzy, as if she was flying in the sea of clouds in the Aetheric Sea.

Summernight's speech was over, but the frenzy she had stirred up had not subsided, and it continued into the auction session.

Ms. Lin, the host of the auction, came up again, and she was joined on stage by a huge whale oil drum that was carried up by the "witch's hand".

"In order to store this batch of whale oil, which has special significance, the Whale Oil Exchange specially made this special oil barrel." Lin pointed to the metal nameplate on the oil drums: "On each oil drum, there is a unique number, and below the number, there is an inscription in the handwritten inscription of Lord Summer Night, 'We choose to hunt beluga whales' and a signature."

"Each barrel of whale oil can store a quarter of a ton of whale oil, and each auction of 40 tons of whale oil, that is, we will be auctioning 160 barrels of whale oil as a base unit. Each serving of whale oil starts at a reserve price of 3,200 moles, which is equivalent to 80 moles per ton of whale oil.

"Let's start the auction of the first one, 160 barrels of whale oil numbered MD12130001 to MD12130160, with a reserve price of 3,200 moles, and a minimum increase of 40 moles per bid, and the auction begins-"

"3500 Morles." The first thing to do is to ask for the price.

"3600 Moles." Exxon is not far behind.

"3680 Morr."

……

The first whale oil was still auctioned by three refining companies, Ackerson, Amok and Xer, and the final transaction price was 3,960 moles, which was offered by Xeer refining, which is equivalent to 99 moles per tonne, and this price has exceeded the previous highest price of the three companies.

But that's just the beginning.

As soon as the auction for the second whale oil began, Xie Er Refining directly called out the offer of 3920, and the tough attitude made the two companies of Exxon and Amoke hesitate for a while, and in a silence, Lin began the countdown before the transaction:

"3920 once."

"3920 Twice ......"

"4,000 moles!" A voice suddenly rang out.

"4000 moles?! ...... is the offeror? ”

"It's me."

A petite witch flew out of the crowd on a broomstick: "I'm the manager of 'Roson Retail', I offer 4,000 magic, you can verify whether my magic is enough on the spot." ”

Roson Retail, a convenience store specializing in selling all kinds of daily necessities in the lower city, the name of the founder and manager is "Roson", although the scale of the company is completely incomparable with the behemoth of the three major oil refining companies, but only 4000 moles, as the owner of the store, Roson can still take it.

Lin quickly verified Rosen's assets through Moer.com and announced that the offer was valid.

The scene was in an uproar.

"Wait! Little Sister Rosen, I think I should kindly remind you. ”

The representative of Xie Er's oil refining couldn't sit still at first: "No matter how high the magic content of a meal of whale oil is, it is difficult to exceed 102 moles, after deducting the loss and cost of refining, the magic power that can really be obtained will not exceed 99 moles, what do you mean by bidding 100 moles per ton?!" ”

Rothson sat on a broom and held up a finger:

"First, I'm not a little sister, this witch is just 10,000 times cuter than you."

She held up a second finger:

"Second, I'm willing to pay such a high price, as long as it doesn't violate the auction rules, can you manage it?"

Then, she raised a third finger:

"Third, who said that only whale oil is valuable. I am announcing that the 'Rosen Convenience Store' will be on the shelves of the 'Limited Edition Beluga Whale Oil Barrel' from tomorrow, and it will be sold in limited quantities on a first-come, first-served basis. Each oil drum has a unique number, and below the number, there is also an inscription written by Lord Summer Night, "We choose to hunt beluga whales" and a signature! Hey~"

Not only did Roson publicly announce that he was going to resell the oil barrels, but he also took Lin's previous introduction to the whale oil barrels as his own advertising slogan, and repeated it as it was.

However, it is true that this does not violate the auction rules.

"4000 at a time."

"4000 Double ......"

The representative of the Seer Oil Refining gritted her teeth, but she could not quote a higher price, because the upper limit of the authorization given to her by the company was 99 moles. Although she has submitted an urgent application to the company, according to the company's usual approval efficiency, it will definitely be too late to bid for this batch of whale oil.

"4000 three times...... Deal! Congratulations to Miss Rothon for receiving 160 barrels of whale oil numbered MD12130161 to MD12130320! ”

Since Rothson's auction, the meaning of whale oil has quietly changed.

The third batch.

Soon after the start of the auction, someone called out an offer of 4200 moles.

A tall, silver-haired witch slowly flew out of the crowd.

"Are you...... Are you the CTO of 'Bavelia'?!! Lin was taken aback when he saw the appearance of the offerer.

"Yes."

The scene was in an uproar, everyone didn't expect that such a big man would also come to the auction, and he was very low-key in the crowd.

"Can you tell us why you bid on this batch of whale oil?"

"Personal Collection."

Amid the buzzing discussion of the melon-eating crowd, the third batch of whale oil was finally sold at a price of 4,200 moles.
