1810 Auction
The Flower Demon Bar, located next to the headquarters of the Crown of Glory, is holding a high-level auction as usual.
Resources, food, treasures, artifacts, and, of course, living creatures collected from all over the fairy plane, as well as slaves of all races.
Because of Tolan's guidance, it saves Raymond the trouble of entering here.
In addition to the ground floor venue facing the stands, there are dozens of large and small boxes for those who do not want to reveal their identities.
The liaison of the House of Shadows is a high-level steward in the Flower Demon Bar, and although his identity is mysterious and difficult to know to outsiders, for Tolan, who has a strong mother, the Flower Demon Bar has no secrets to speak of.
The contact person of the House of Shadows, who was summoned directly into the box, did not have any suspicions after Raymond revealed his identity, and when he took out the communicator that could communicate with the House of Shadows and placed it, he bowed and saluted. "Lord Raymond, Octavir knew you were here two years ago, so she asked me to wait here......"
The communicator that was activated was connected after a few breaths.
Octavil seemed to be in her bedroom, and there was a slight uneasiness in her hasty expression, but she became humble when she saw Raymond clearly, and immediately bowed slightly. "Lord Raymond, congratulations on your advancement, the House of Shadows is very grateful for your concern......"
He has a good impression of the House of Shadows, and it was because of the help of the House of Shadows that Raymond was able to enter the Nightmare Plane back then, so after bowing slightly, Raymond spoke. "I should be grateful for the help I received from the House of Shadows, but I haven't been able to contact you all these years due to the damage of the communicator. I wonder what happened to Jarvis?"
"Jarvis is still staying in the lower planes, after your message was sent back from the Nightmare Plane. I immediately sent a message to Jarvis, and he was extremely surprised and pleased with the speed of your growth. It's just that he couldn't stay at the headquarters for too long because of his duties, and he just left three months ago......"
There was a slight uneasiness in his expression, and Octavier's title of 'Excellency' made Raymond feel the change in status brought about by the difference in strength.
The House of Shadows is a large interdimensional organization, but because of its weak foundation, even its headquarters is only guarded by some fifth-order wizards, so it must be understandable that there will be such estrangement and alienation when facing itself.
It's just that such a seemingly enthusiastic conversation is actually a bit boring. In particular, Octavier's very cautious and rigorous wording gradually blurred the image of the strong but kind Octavier in Raymond's memory, and also made him realize that the difference in status caused by the difference in strength became the pressure of the other party in vain.
In the early stages of Raymond's growth, the House of Shadows recruited and provided many resources allowed him to grow rapidly, and it was because of the resources provided by the House of Shadows that he was able to establish a friendship with the corpse demon Evangeline of the Sea of Bones plane.
Therefore, after realizing that this communication was too different from what he expected, Raymond was able to make the image of the House of Shadows in his memory constant. He also sent the storage ring containing the reward of the House of Shadows directly to Octavier, which was also a subtle expression of his heart.
After the communication was over, the contact person of the House of Shadows who was standing next to him respectfully bowed and said goodbye. With that particular communicator, he quickly left the box he was in.
"Lord Raymond, an organization like the House of Shadows has not been able to keep you alive, and it is too low-minded. I would like you to stay here for a few more days, if you wish, my mother may not have reached your level yet. But presumably, the foundation of the crown of glory can still provide you with a lot of convenience......"
Tolan, who re-entered the box, seemed to have learned something. As soon as I entered the door, I warmly sent out an invitation and expressed my willingness to solicit.
But before Raymond could respond, Becky, who had already developed a bad feeling for the goblins, laughed, and spread out her sign language to report the names of many rare resources very quickly, so that Tolan, who was stunned, opened his mouth but couldn't speak.
"Little goblin, my family is not something that you can deliberately recruit with a crown of glory, let alone an organization like you, even if it is the resources that the entire plane can provide, my family adults will not take it seriously, it is more appropriate for you to honestly keep your mouth shut and stay aside......"
It was a very mean ridicule, which made Tolan standing in the box more and more embarrassed, but Raymond, who was facing the auction room, suddenly stood up, walked quickly to the guardrail, and tore off the curtain with the isolation effect!
“...... A half-breed Terran wizard captured in the ice fields. Because she has a life sharing contract with an activated bamboo shoot, she is not only able to maintain the permanence of her face, but also has some indescribable wonders, and any bidder must take into account the conditions required to raise the activated bamboo shoots, please bid after viewing it......"
The auctioneer standing in the center of the auction table was still eagerly introducing.
Raymond's gaze was fixed on one of the rows of spell cages behind him.
Slaves of all races, dressed thinly and bound by special ropes, revealed their gender and their ethnic characteristics.
The mussel girl from the ocean, the alienated butterfly girl, the human man with a majestic physique, and the human woman with a delicate face and a bewitching body are the goods that are currently being auctioned.
However, in the cage that Raymond was concerned about, there was a woman with her head lowered and her expression was sad and unwilling, her complexion was fair and her appearance was extremely outstanding, and her slightly upturned ears showed that she had elven blood.
There was also a half-human-tall activated bamboo shoot on his side, and the black pupils on the yellow-green bamboo shoot coat seemed to be aware of Raymond's gaze, and he quickly turned his gaze.
In the hustle and bustle of the auction, the auctioneer was quickly quoting the price, and the auction hammer in his hand was also waving up and down, but as the activated bamboo shoot turned, the half-blood human wizard beside him also turned his gaze, and finally let Raymond see her full appearance!
"How is this possible, Saman and Little Nemo......?"
The memory that had been sealed many years ago made his breath a little heavy after being recalled by Raymond, and the hands pressed on the guardrail were crushed with a snap because the strength was no longer restricted.
Becky and Anita, who approached Raymond when he sensed that Raymond's breath was wrong, also saw the woman imprisoned in the cage with his gaze, and the activated bamboo shoot with his delicate little hands waving violently at this side, with tears on his face!
"My lord, what's wrong with you? Do you know the woman and the bamboo shoot in the cage?"
Becky's opening finally calmed Raymond, who looked angry, and he turned to Tolan who was standing in the doorway. "Is this Flower Demon Bar also an industry that belongs to the Crown of Glory?"
Because of the release of Raymond's breath, the entire box formed a chaotic energy force field, and Tolan, who felt a panic from the depths of his heart, hurriedly responded. "Yes, yes...... Any request you have can be met unconditionally, and I hope you don't get angry......"
"Anita, bring the woman in the cage and the activated bamboo shoots first, Tolan, you go with Becky and Saliman to find out the seller who provided this goods, and no one who has anything to do with this matter is allowed to be spared, all of them need to be sent to me today, otherwise the consequences I believe are what the Crown of Glory does not want to see......"
As if giving an order, Anita rushed directly to the auction table with Raymond's opening, and Becky, who came to Tolan's side, and Shaliman, the one-eyed sandman, pushed Tolan, who had not woken up, out of the box as if they were holding him hostage...... (To be continued......)
