Vol 4 Chapter 29: auctions

The auction organized by the Ward Slave Chamber of Commerce is very concerned about the officials and dignitaries of the entire Kingdom of Yadud.

Active participation.

Because the finale of this auction is an elf.

There have been no elves in the Kingdom of Abdullah for hundreds of years.

At this auction, many participants thought that even if they can't afford the elves, they should take a look at them.

And those who plan to buy the elves have raised a lot of money, and they are determined to win the elves.

Zhou Ming called on several brothers and also joined the auction.

The target is also the elf.

There are 1 million gold coins in his magic crystal card. If someone bids more than 1 million in the auction, he will give up.

In the human world, the existence of elves is very rare, but it does not mean that in order to obtain elves, it is worthwhile to give up their homes.

As for why Zhou Ming wants to buy elves, is it also to meet the needs of which aspects?

of course not.

How could he be so superficial?

information.

He wanted to get some information about the elven clan through that elf ... even the most basic information would bring a lot of help.

Because Zhou Ming has a hunch, maybe in the future, he and the elves will have some intersections.

After all, the ancient race of elves, even if it is weak, will not be reduced to arbitrary bullying.

They are still a force that cannot be underestimated.

This force, Zhou Ming may one day use it.

However ... 1 million gold coins are indeed the figures that Zhou Ming collected all of his working capital and then borrowed a few more students.

If the auction price exceeds this price, he really can only give up.

Information is indeed important, but it does not mean it is worth the price.

...

The auction took place for more than an hour.

After the auction of more than a dozen items in the front, the finale, the elf, was placed in a mithril cage and carried to the auction stand by a few big men.

"Masters and gentlemen, please open your eyes and look at this cage."

"This is an elf that many of you haven't seen in a lifetime!"

"Wow ~"

The auctioneer lifted the red silk cloth over the cage, revealing the object inside—a female elf.

amount……

Ugly female elf.

"Boom ~"

There was an uproar among the audience.

What ... what's going on?

Why are the elves in the cage so ugly?

In fact, if you don't look at your face, this elf actually meets all the beautiful illusions of humans on elves.

Long silver hair.

Milky skin.

Pointy and long ears.

Slender thighs and perfect figure.

but……

The scar on her face, which was like a sore, was burned to the general black, covering more than half of her face, and completely met the disfigurement standard.

Is this ... hairy?

Such an ugly elf, so sorry to put it here for auction?

Isn't this an appetite?

Many officials and nobles who participated in the auction expressed their dissatisfaction.

Especially those nobles who saw the side or back of the elves, the lower body was originally hardened, and the face turned around and the lights hit, almost scared.

Facing strong dissatisfaction, Ward came to the stage and hurried to explain.

"This is a curse, a curse invented by the elf queen. Any female elf who imposes this curse is fine if she stays in the elf forest. Once you leave the elf forest, the curse will happen and her face will grow. Dark spots. "

"This kind of dark spots will be small at first, but as time goes on, the dark spots will become bigger and bigger, and finally cover the entire face."

"Masters and gentlemen, this curse is indeed very troublesome, but it does not mean that the elf has no value to buy."

"The elves that can be cast this curse are all four-ringed warriors with excellent archery skills. Their strength is very strong. If they can tame them, they will be a good bodyguard."

"In addition, the curse on them is not without possibility. If a legendary mage can be found and he is willing to help, he can dispel the curse in this elf."

Legendary mage?

Hearing this, someone in the auction house stood up, turned curtly and left.

"Wait, please wait!"

"Gentlemen, gentlemen, listen to me and go!"

"The curse on this elf's face only works on their faces and will not spread to other places. As long as they cover their faces, everything else is the same. Gentlemen, elves, but she is an elf, it certainly feels different. of!"

Ward yelled loudly, but there were more people leaving. Only a small number of people heard that the "black spots" would not spread below the head, and then sat down with difficulty.

Watching less than a third of the guests left in the auction, Ward was bloodshed.

200,000 gold coins.

In order to buy the elf in the cage from the big slave trader, he took a full 200,000 gold coins.

At that time, he thought he had picked up a big bargain, because in the central human kingdom in the hinterland, no matter where he went, such elves could sell millions of gold coins.

It was a pity that he didn't inspect the goods carefully at that time, and he didn't notice that there was a black spot with big sand eyes under the left ear of the elf.

By the time he reached the border of the Kingdom of Abdullah, the dark spot had grown to the size of a gold coin.

When he noticed the dark spot, Ward groaned.

It's over.

Ruined.

Lost big.

This kind of black spot curse began to appear decades ago, and many slave traders who had dreamed of becoming rich overnight had lost their blood.

Since then, all the sellers and slavers who run the slave business have a mind. Any elf with black spots on his face, regardless of whether it is a black spot curse, quickly shoot at a low price, otherwise wait for the black spot to expand, just wait Lose money!

Because no matter which auction is held in that kingdom, the elves with the curse of black spots can sell at most one tenth of the price.

Ward, who thought he would make a fortune, was accidentally planted in a big pit.

He dismissed the idea of ​​auctioning elves in the richer kingdom. There has been no one bought the elves in the Kingdom of Adord for hundreds of years. The rare things are expensive. .

250,000 gold coins.

He hopes to shoot this price, so that he can earn a little, if the guests can not call this price, 200 thousand gold coins, he hopes not to lose money.

...

In a sturdy Mithril cage.

Angelie Tika, the elf, looked at the auction floor, and the human dignitaries' reactions were irresistible.

"Honorable Queen of the Moon, you let me see the most funny way of human beings."

"Amazed? Disappointed? Disgusted?"

"There are those slave merchants, why not laugh happily? Didn't you catch a million elves?"

"Huh ~ greedy and stupid humans, sooner or later, the elves will make you pay!"

Angelique Tikka said bitterly, then narrowed her eyes again.

...

The auction officially started.

The starting price is 50,000 gold coins, and each price increase shall not be less than one thousand.

"55,000 gold coins."

"56,000 gold coins."

"60,000 gold coins."

"60000……"

The price is constantly rising, but not much is added every time, and there is no fierce competition for imagination.

Ward passed half an hour in anxiety before the price increased to 99,000 gold coins.

"99,000 once, 99,000 twice, 90,000 ..."

The price is less than one hundred thousand, and the auctioneer has already started shouting once or twice.

Ward's heart was cold and cold. It was over, and he lost a lot. This time he would lose a lot.

"100,000 gold coins, I will give 100,000 gold coins!"

A voice from the audience shocked Ward's spirit and quickly turned to look.

Prince Luther.

It turned out to be Prince Luther.

Ward quickly took the wooden hammer in the hands of the auctioneer and said to Prince Luther: "His Royal Highness has made a bid of 100,000. Is there any higher price? Interested parties please increase the price as soon as possible!"

"105,000." A majestic old man not far away directly added 5,000.

Everyone turned their heads to see that this old man was originally the Duke of Morat Hansen, the most powerful man in the kingdom. He and his vassals occupied more than a third of the kingdom. He was One of the three pillars of the kingdom, some important decisions and affairs of the kingdom, it is absolutely difficult to pass without Duke Hansen nodding.

Prince Luther didn't even think that the Duke of Hansen, who had never dealt with the royal family, would dare to grab his elves?

His head was hot and he immediately said, "110,000 gold coins!"

"115,000."

Duke Hansen lightly added it, and the elf in the cage, although he looked vomiting in that face, but his figure was really good, he looked dry, if he covered his face, he would be refreshed for a few days, then It is not too bad to change hands and sell.

"120,000 gold coins!"

Luther is upset, you old thing, dare to grab what I like, I fight with you!

"130,000."

Duke Hansen glared at Luther. What kind of thing are you guys, don't you know respect for elders?

"140,000 gold coins!"

Luther really fights, on the one hand to get the female elf, on the other hand to suppress the Duke of Hansen, he is the prince of the kingdom, the future king, this old thing, dare to grab something with the future king?

The two added up all the way, and the price quickly approached the 200,000 gold mark.

"200,000, 200,000 gold coins! Duke Hansen, do you want to add?"

Luther stood up and stared at Duke Hanson with fiery eyes.

This……

Duke Morat Hansen calmed down, looked at the elf on the stage, and thought about it, without further price increase, he stood up and left the auction house.

He just wanted to play the elf for a few days, 200,000 gold coins, it was really extravagant, the knights in his territory, the military expenditure for one year was only 2 million, and he took one-tenth to play for a few days. This kind of thing.

"Hahahaha, old stuff, fight me!"

Luther laughed. At this moment, he felt like he had fought a big victory.

Didn't notice at all, the people around him looked at him as if they saw an intellectual disability.

Moreover, after the bid of 200,000 was over, he expected the sound of "200,000 gold coins once, 200,000 gold coins twice" and then the small wooden hammer fell. He didn't hear it, but instead came a "210,000" in his ear.

Who?

Who else?

Luther turned his head suddenly, and a middle-aged fat man with a big belly was looking at him with a smile.

Rich businessman Tebal Sinch.

Xin Qi, the richest businessman in the kingdom.

It is said that in the Kingdom of Abdul, no one is richer than Xin Qi, a wealthy businessman who runs food, clothing, blacksmith shops, livestock, jewelry, real estate and many other industries. One million gold coins, bought from the king.

"His Royal Highness, I also want this elf. How about letting me buy and play for a few days, and wait for me to play enough, and then give it to your highness?"

Tebal Sinch, with a shiny face on his face, said,

Boom ~

Luther suddenly burst into flames.

You are a businessman and dare to be so arrogant?

Waiting for you to play enough, and then play for me, my prince, playing the junk you have played by a businessman?

Luther's eyes were red, his teeth clenched, and a word came out: "220,000!"

Ward laughed on the stage and smiled happily. This auction can not only protect the capital, but also make a small profit. Of course, in the part of the profit, he will give a little to Tebal Sin ... he is The self-invited "Trust" hopes to meet a grumpy customer and help raise the price.

Originally this kind of "support", the probability of coming in handy is generally relatively small, I did not expect it really used today.

Zhou Ming, who has been watching the audience with cold eyes, sees that the name hall is coming. This is driving up the price of B. I didn't expect there was any stupid willingness to enter this rhythm.

Seeing how Luther was about to explode, Zhou Ming shook his head.

"How did King James have such an idiot son?"

"280,000 gold coins! Fat man, are you still following? Are you still following?"

Luther called out a surprising price, which was close to six times the original low price.

Ward made a profit, he made a small profit this time.

The guard next to Luther was pulling his arm desperately, his face almost begging.

"Your Highness, don't bid anymore, no money, we really have no money."

"Get away from me!"

Luther tossed him aside. Of course he knew he had no money. The magic crystal card in his pocket contained only 100,000 gold coins in a patchwork, but he also had a mother, a father, and he also had This kingdom!

How could he have no money?

Tebal Sinki glanced at Ward on the stage and thought it was almost ok. Then he bowed to Prince Luther: "His Royal Highness, this elf is yours. I wish you a happy body and mind and promote the glory of my human race ! "

Ward on the stage knocked on the wooden hammer and said:

"280,000 gold coins at a time."

"280,000 coins twice ..."

Luther looked up and raised his chest ~ www.readwn.com ~ proudly like a rooster.

The young **** beside him knelt on the ground and wailed with his feet. "His Royal Highness, we have no money, we really don't have that much money! His Majesty the King will kill me!"

Of course, the young guard knew that his life could not be saved. His Majesty the King could not pay the remaining 180,000 gold coins. He would only take off his head. Then he said that because of his confusion, Prince Luther did this ridiculous thing. ...... Didn't the five guards who had been with the prince all die for similar reasons?

The young guard saw his end, but Luther seemed deaf.

"280,000 gold coins three ..."

As the sound of the third Xiamu hammer was about to ring, the young guard seemed to hear the death knell for himself.

"290 thousand gold coins."

When this sound sounded, the desperate young guard suddenly turned his head past.

benefactor!

Help benefactor!

"Who!"

"Who else is against me!"

Luther's eyes were red and he glared at him, bastard, bastard! He is going to smash all the **** against him!

"moron!"

A word popped out of Zhou Ming's mouth, looking at him with a caring mentally distressed look: "If you increase the price again, I promise not to follow, who will be more embarrassing to see then?"

"There is also the guard, if you want to live, take your idiot master home quickly, and don't let him show off your eyes."

Luther rushed towards him.

"what did you say?"

"what did you say?!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

"Let me go, I will kill you !!"

In Luther's angry roar, his guard, holding his waist tightly, dragged him straight out.

This farce is finally over.
