...
Wu Hui and the others were immediately attracted by the sound.
Amidst bursts of dull noises, a giant stone urn almost as tall as two people was pushed out from the side door.
The stone urn is off-white as a whole, and the surface is polished smooth. It doesn't look very eye-catching, but some places on the top and edges depict fine and dense magic circles, with complicated lines and mysterious aura, which forcefully engulfs the entire stone urn. All set off a high-end atmosphere.
As it was pushed, one could vaguely hear the sound of clanging water coming from the stone urn, as if it was filled with water.
Wu Hui glanced up, and saw that the opening on the top of the stone urn was covered with a large metal woven net, with streamers flashing on the net, and occasional electric arcs, it was obviously a magic item, and it was also a thunderbolt. Attribute offensive props.
"What's this?"
Shouldn't the one sent up be a slave?
Wu Hui was confused for a moment, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Viscount Taylor's gourd.
"Look, everyone."
Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, Viscount Taylor was a little proud, and snapped his fingers.
next moment.
Several beams of light projected down from the top of the hall, intertwined and landed on the stone urn placed in the center of the hall.
The gray-white color on the surface of the stone urn dissipated like a cloud in an instant, and gradually faded and disappeared. The stone urn became more and more transparent, and everything inside gradually appeared in front of everyone.
"I see. This stone urn is made of the original stone of Hosea." Daniel reacted instantly, and began to educate a few people. Those found in the mountains are usually off-white, but as long as they are irradiated with magic lamps, they will become transparent, and they are generally used to make..."
As he spoke, his voice suddenly stopped, and he looked at the stone urn in astonishment.
Not only him, almost everyone in the banquet hall was as stunned as he was.
I saw that inside the huge stone urn, there was a girl with a human body and a fishtail.
The girl looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, her arms and fish tail were imprisoned by thin and dense silver chains, and around her neck was a magic collar that confines strength like a dog on a leash.
Under the refraction of the water, her almost transparent tender skin was strangled with red marks by the chains, and some places were even dripping with blood. Her delicate and beautiful face became extremely pale due to excessive blood loss, and her long azure blue hair was tangled like seaweed. On the body, it looks particularly embarrassing.
As if she had given up struggling, the light in her dark green eyes was dim, even if there was light shining in, she only slightly moved her eyelids, and then returned to the original state.
However, even so, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.
Looking carefully, her forearms and shoulders are dotted with mica-like beautiful light blue scales, the fins at the joints are also as delicate as glass, and a small piece of light blue cheeks exposed between the long blue hair is also beautiful. As beautiful as wings, the sapphire-colored slender fish tail, even though it is bound by a silver chain, is still gorgeous and gorgeous under the illumination of the magic lamp, with a strange beauty.
Fascinating and charming.
For a moment, there was no sound in the entire banquet hall, and even the breathing seemed to be seized by this strange sea elf.
Wu Hui was also taken aback for a moment.
He also didn't expect that the person Viscount Taylor mysteriously pushed onto the stage was actually not a human being, but a "mermaid".
"My God~ She is the embodiment of art and beauty. The words of praise I can think of are so pale in front of her beauty... How can there be such a perfect creature in this world..."
Black muttered to himself with his eyes shining, and his whole body became distraught.
He subconsciously took out his harp, and regardless of the occasion or situation, he stretched out his hand and was ready to start tuning and composing music: "I want to write a hymn for her, praising her purity and beauty..."
"Okay~ You said the same thing when you saw the elves last time." Daniel pressed him helplessly, "Be sober, this is a high-level siren."
Knowing that Wu Hui lacked a lot of common sense, he explained to Wu Hui: "A high-ranking siren is an aristocrat among sirens, and the number is rare..."
The so-called Kraken is actually a general term for intelligent creatures in the ocean. But even if they are also sea monsters, they are divided into three, six, and nine classes.
The sea monster that attacked the port before was named "Ikru", which means fish head and human body. It is the bottom of the sea monster. The combat effectiveness of a single player is very average, and it wins simply by numbers. The mermaid girl in front of her is the most noble race among the sea monsters, the high-level sea monster known as the "descendant of the sea god". As long as she is an adult, she will be level 4, and some of them have good talents, and it is no problem to cultivate to the sub-sage level.
What's even more frightening is that the probability of high-ranking sea monsters reaching level 7 is much higher than other races.
The many sea lords and overlords that exist in the vast sea area are almost all high-level sea monsters, which shows how powerful this family is.
The only thing that can make human beings rejoice is that the number of high-level sea monsters is very rare, and their fertility is very low. Otherwise, there would really be no human beings in the Bright Continent.
"Kraken! High-ranking Siren!"
At this time, the other nobles also reacted and exclaimed suddenly.
"My God! It's actually a high-level sea-monster!" A head of the chamber of commerce was dumbfounded, his expression mixed with horror, "Any high-level sea-monster caught by humans may cause revenge from the sea-monster family. Viscount Taylor doesn't want Are you dead, even dare to catch a high-ranking sea monster?!"
For a moment, the entire banquet hall was boiling.
To be able to obtain a high-level sea-monster, one has to admit that Viscount Taylor has great powers. However, the significance of this high-level sea-monster is really extraordinary...
A strange atmosphere permeated under the candlelight, and the expressions on everyone's faces became unnatural, fear, entanglement, excitement... all kinds of emotions flickered and intertwined, and so on.
A girl slave with noble blood and strong potential is simply an excellent object for play and cultivation. Once it is well raised and trained, it may be possible to have an extra level 7 senior thug in the future. Coupled with the fact that a high-level sea monster is born with a powerful bloodline talent, or has the ability to cross the sea, or can drive sea beasts, this is definitely a future sea lord, and it is definitely not a problem to rule a sea area in the future.
However, the identity of this girl also means huge trouble.
Is she really worth their risk?
"Higher sea monsters have a hard time multiplying, so they are extremely protective of their cubs, and they are extremely vengeful. If anyone dares to attack a cub of the siren clan, once they are discovered, they will surely die." Daniel casually handed over his intermittently insane cousin To the old housekeeper, continue to give Wu Hui popular science, "It is not that there were no bold slave traders who tried to attack the high-level siren before, but without exception, they were all killed by the high-level siren in retaliation, whether they were bought or sold. The ones that were sold didn’t get any good results. After a few times, those slave traders were frightened. I really didn’t expect that Viscount Taylor would have such courage..."
As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, obviously not optimistic.
"Hmph~ It's just a slapstick."
Liliana leaned lazily on the sofa, her slightly narrowed eyes were cold and disdainful.
"Based on that..." Wu Hui stroked his chin, his eyes revealing a thoughtful look, "Then these people shouldn't dare to buy it? Isn't Viscount Taylor trying to steal a lot of money?"
Liliana hooked her lips with a half-smile: "That's not necessarily the case."
She never underestimated the inferiority of these nobles.
Sure enough, not long after her words fell, a nobleman gritted his teeth and said, "Viscount Taylor, how do you shoot this high-ranking sea monster?"
There was still fear in his eyes, but more excitement and longing, and even his cheeks were strangely red because of the excitement, like a gambler addicted to gambling, even if he knew that he was just one step away It is possible to fall into the abyss, and still want to gamble on the one in ten thousand possibility.
What if you are lucky and don't get revenge from the Siren Clan? Then wouldn't he make a lot of money?
Viscount Taylor had already guessed this would happen. Hearing this, he showed a smug smile: "The starting price is 1,000 Frank Franks, and the price increase should not be less than 100 Franks each time. Manors, horse farms, mines and other industries can also be used to bid instead of Frank Franks. "
"Hiss! 1000 Gold Frank?!"
Many nobles present gasped.
It's not that they can't afford so much money, it's just that a quarterly tax for a viscount is normally only twenty or thirty gold franks. 1,000 Gold Franks can only be collected by selling off the estate of the manor.
Not to mention minor nobles, even an earl like Black, whose income from taxes and inheritance is far greater than that of a viscount, 1,000 gold franks is still a large amount of assets, enough to make people feel sorry for a long time.
Not to mention, this is just the reserve price.
With such a high reserve price, wouldn't the transaction price be astronomical?
However, just when everyone was surprised and shocked, and the nobleman who asked the price just now was also hesitating, a calm and extremely calm voice suddenly came from the corner: "I offer 1200 Gold Frank."
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look, and saw the mysterious visitor from the imperial capital, Mr. Preet, quietly leaning against the bar.
He was playing with the wine cup in his hand, his face covered by the black leather mask couldn't see the expression clearly, but there was a careless indifference in his eyes.
If it weren't for the matching voice and position, just looking at him like this, it would be hard to believe that he was the one who made the offer just now. He raised 200 Gold Franks just by opening his mouth. How rich must this person be?
Wu Hui couldn't help but look at him more.
Ordinarily, he is considered a big family now, and there are quite a few people who are willing to donate to the Holy See, so there should be a lot of money. However, the Vatican has a large number of people, and the expenses are high, and it costs a lot of money to train the army. He left all the little money he had for the Vatican's ballast.
Not to mention 1200 gold franks, he can't even get 100 gold franks.
Sure enough, compared with real rich people, he is still too poor~
Wu Hui sighed endlessly, and the expressions of other people in the banquet hall were also constantly changing.
A middle-aged nobleman with thinning hair, eagle nose and deep eyes was still hesitating, but when he saw this, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
This is a high-level sea monster. After passing this village, there will be no such shop. In case they were bought by others, but they were not retaliated by the sea monster, they would have no place to cry!
What's more, he is not alone. He has an army and masters under his command, and his territory is still inland far from the port. Even if he faces a high-level sea monster, he may not be invincible in a fight.
Fight!
He slammed the table and said with red eyes: "I came from a horse farm, located in the western suburbs of Thorn City, covering an area of 8,000 acres, with 327 mature horses and 106 juvenile horses, most of them are of the blood of first-class war horses. There are also 135 horse slave households, with a total discount of 1300 Gold Frank!"
"Wow~"
As soon as these words came out, commotion broke out in the banquet hall again.
"The Viscount Eleanor really paid for it, and the racecourse is the most profitable property under his control." A middle-aged man also dressed in aristocratic attire whispered to the people around him with emotion.
"The horse farm can be rebuilt after it is sold, but the high-level siren is hard to come by. If I didn't have the capital, I would have already bid." The little noble next to him felt that Viscount Eleanor's behavior was very easy to understand, and his eyes were full of surprises. No envy.
In the corner, several butlers who are representatives of the nobles are occupying a corner each, quietly and urgently contacting the master. In the era of magic and battle qi, long-distance communication is not impossible, but it is expensive, and it will only be used under extremely special circumstances.
The middle-aged viscount with thinning hair stared at the people around him, swallowing nervously.
These people who were talking and laughing at Yanyan just now, as if they were intimately related, are now his competitors, especially the mysterious Mr. Preet, who is his number one target of defense.
He hoped that these people would be frightened by the price he offered and stop bidding. A horse farm is already the limit of what he can afford, and if the price rises, he will definitely be excluded from this transaction.
one second.
two seconds...
Still no bids.
Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, finally a housekeeper in the corner ended the communication with the host and turned around.
"The Earl of Black Iron Fort is willing to sell a black iron mine, located in the Rock Mountain Range, with an estimated storage capacity of 10,000 tons, at a discount of 1,800 Gold Franks."
The voice of the silver-haired butler was calm and powerful, clearly showing the determination of the master, the Earl of Black Iron Castle, to win.
The face of the middle-aged Viscount with thinning hair turned pale, and his expression instantly became extremely ugly.
However, at this time, who would care about his reaction? Almost everyone's attention was attracted by the black iron ore worth 1800 Gold Frank.
This is a mine!
Every metal mine is the lifeblood of nobles, who is willing to take it out? For this high-ranking sea-monster girl slave, the Earl of Black Iron Castle also fought hard.
However, black iron ore is not the end. Following the words of the butler of the Earl of Black Iron Fort, soon, other representatives of the nobles also left the stage and joined the bidding.
The price of the high-ranking siren maiden slave soared from 1,800 gold for Frank's black iron ore, and soon broke through 2,000, reaching 3,000 gold for Frank's mithril mine.
The representatives of the great aristocrats who bid were tit-for-tat, expressing that their own side was bound to win, and they even did not hesitate to move out the title of the master's house, just to coerce the other party to make concessions.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall is getting hotter and hotter.
Under the influence of the atmosphere, even the heads of small nobles and small chambers of commerce who had no chance to participate in the bidding competition gradually became excited. Such a wonderful auction is usually invisible, so why not be excited to participate in it in person?
For a while, even the deterrence of the high sea monster was temporarily forgotten by them.
"Crazy ~ crazy ~ these people are simply crazy!"
After finally recovering from the state of obsession with seeing the artistically beautiful sea monster, Blake was shocked when he saw this crazy scene.
Daniel was quite calm.
In the duke's mansion, he saw a lot of nobles who were crazy for a little profit. This battle is really nothing.
"As long as a person has 100% interest, he dares to take risks; if he has 200% interest, he dares to despise legal principles; if he has 300% interest, he dares to trample on everything in the world." Unfathomable, "A high-ranking siren represents the dominance of the sea, a safe and risk-free sea route, and an endless and inexhaustible cornucopia, which is enough to make any aristocrat with a little bit of strength go crazy."
Not to mention these nobles, even he was tempted.
If he didn't have any money in hand, he might have already bid.
As he said that, he glanced at the pitiful mermaid girl in the stone urn, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "What's more, is this slave such a peerless beauty?"
This beauty alone is enough to make many people crazy for her.
When hearing the first few sentences, Liliana couldn't help nodding her head in appreciation, but when she heard the last sentence, her complexion suddenly darkened.
Well, she shouldn't expect Wu Hui to say anything serious.
"Hehe~ My Lord Earl, you can always take a fancy to the slaves this time, right?" As if hearing the second part of Wu Hui's words, Viscount Taylor came over from the side, half proud and half showing off, "This high-ranking sea monster was accidentally caught by a soldier under my command when they were hunting at sea. Both in terms of aptitude and appearance, they are extremely top-notch, and they are absolutely worthy of your identity."
As he said that, he suddenly leaned into Blake's ear and whispered, "If you like it, just ask for a price. I will give you a 50% discount in private, and I will honor you as my retainer."
Why do you want him to buy it again?
Blake blushed with embarrassment. He really just appreciates beautiful things, never thought of bringing people back~
What's more, where did he get so much money?
"That, I, I..."
He looked at Wu Hui and Daniel as if asking for help, his green eyes were full of water, and he was pitiful.
Wu Hui felt a chill. They are all in their twenties, if they act like a baby girl, do they want to show some face?
Rubbing the goosebumps on his arms, he moved away without hesitation, deciding to ignore this idiot.
Daniel couldn't help turning his head away, and silently moved a little further away.
Blake couldn't believe it.
Blake was devastated.
What about covering him?
It turned out to be fake! He is still a delicate and innocent young man, he really can't bear the wind and rain of the adult world~
In the end, the old butler Jem couldn't stand it any longer, and stood up and said to Viscount Taylor: "Master Black still needs to think about this matter, you see..."
"Understand~Understand~"
Naturally, Viscount Taylor had no objection, smiled and bowed to everyone with a noble salute before retreating.
He is full of confidence in the "goods" he took out this time. He believed that even if the owner of the Principality of Saint Violet was here, he would definitely not be able to resist the temptation of the high-ranking sea monster, and Earl Black was no exception.
It is believed that this peerless gift will bind him, Earl Black, and the master of the principality behind him.
