King
Chapter 168 Soul of Water Moon
"Miss Isabel, there are some things you shouldn't say nonsense. Just because I have a fiancée and I can't marry you, it would be too cruel to try to slander my reputation out of love."
While speaking, Hudson held up Isabel's chin with one hand, full of warning.
Seeing this scene, Isabel was dumbfounded. Such a shameless passing of blame made it clear that he had no intention of admitting his blame.
"Love breeds hate", this is to ask her to bear all the bad reputation.
However, this statement is still in line with mainstream thinking. On one side is a well-matched aristocratic fiancée, and on the other is a beautiful singer. It is obvious which one to choose.
deny?
The Vatican wanted to silence her, but the seemingly lecherous guy in front of her probably didn't want her to leave alive.
He didn't do anything directly, mostly because of reputation considerations. Nobles can be sentimental, but nobility cannot be ruthless.
Even the "lovers" around him can be killed at will. Not only will the subordinates who follow him feel insecure, but even the Holliser family will doubt whether this marriage is correct.
People are blindly obedient, and many things cannot be avoided by "brain filling". Hudson and Isabel have been in contact so many times that everyone has long believed that there is a romantic relationship between them.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Viscount. My mind is a little confused. Can you let me go first? You can easily make me stupid if you torment me like this!"
Isabel said bravely.
Knowing that Hudson was acting, she could only play along. Her intuition told her that whether she could escape unscathed depended on the conversation that followed.
"Miss Isabel, you don't mean what you say. You are obviously in my arms, how can you beat me up?
Now I need an explanation, one that can make up for the damage to my reputation. If my fiancée finds out, she will be unhappy. "
As he spoke, Hudson's hands became more and more aggressive. Tell Isabel with practical actions that if she continues to show off, he will not be polite.
Nobles will only judge based on their own moral integrity. A beautiful woman came to his door several times, but Hudson said he had done nothing.
I'm afraid what people are thinking is not that "Mr. Hudson" has a noble character, but that he is in poor health.
This kind of loss can't be eaten in vain, and you can't whitewash yourself, so you can only live up to the rumors and enjoy the blessing first.
Isabel, who was used to all kinds of tricks and knew men very well, was already complaining secretly at this moment.
The guy in front of me is really too rational. His eyes were obviously full of desire for her, but he still didn't forget to take the initiative, as if he wanted to play with her.
"You were all acting before?"
Isabel asked in a trembling voice.
"Ha ha……"
"Miss Isabel, Bingxue is really smart, she discovered the problem so quickly.
However, today's loopholes are indeed too obvious. The guards let you in without any hindrance. After a moment's thought, you'll know there's something wrong.
Now the people from the mysterious organization have left with their things. I have also received the items in the transaction. Everyone gets what they need.
The only hidden danger is you.
Don't be afraid, I am a compassionate person, and I still can't lay hands on a delicate beauty in my arms.
Just for your safety, you won't be able to leave for a long time to come.
I know that if Miss Isabel is strong, she will definitely not be willing to live an idle life. Why not show some value and let me see..."
Hearing this explanation, Isabel rolled her beautiful eyes, leaned directly against Hudson, and whispered in his ear: "I'm like this, what else do you want?
My knowledge about the mysterious organization is limited. Telling you everything, there won’t be anything substantial.
I'm afraid that before the talent show is over, some people will be able to show their bestiality. Neither do other people! "
This is true. What the diva group seems to be learning is talent, but it is actually a way to deal with men.
For example, right now, the sexy scenes are a bit too much for Hudson.
"After spending so long in a mysterious organization, you should learn something. For example: How to collect intelligence and train intelligence personnel?
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't know these things. Use your means of serving others, my lord..."
Halfway through her words, Isabel's tears fell down and she lay on Hudson's neck and cried non-stop.
Professional-level acting skills made Hudson understand that the woman in front of him was not so easy to conquer.
It's easy to take advantage of the opportunity and get the beauty back. It's not that difficult to get her to sacrifice her life. Being abandoned by a mysterious organization made Isabel wary of the outside world.
After all, he came from that kind of place, and he was used to seeing situations where his body was exchanged for survival resources. Now I would rather be taken advantage of by Hudson than get involved in a new turmoil.
Hudson had already anticipated this scene. If he could be subdued easily, he would have to wonder if he was an undercover agent sent by a mysterious organization.
The adverse effects have been caused, and all we can do now is to follow the trend and reduce the impact as much as possible.
If the outside world thinks it is, then that’s good. As long as there is no new big news, just a romantic affair will soon be forgotten.
If Isabel's ability is not needed, then she can stay as a vase to show off her charm as Master Hudson.
To talk about feelings is to humiliate oneself. If a woman can be successful in a singing group, her heart will already be dead.
The only trouble is that the fiancée needs to explain, but this problem is easy to handle. As a noble lady, this kind of thing is definitely not rare to see, and her inner endurance will not be much worse.
It is better to have scandals with the same singer than to have a relationship with other aristocratic ladies. No matter how beautiful the singer is, there is still a threshold of identity that she cannot cross.
…
The opening of the auction disintegrated the fragrant atmosphere in the room. The melon-eating bear watching the excitement on the side was now lost in thought.
In the world of bears, there is no such scene. When you meet the female bear you like, just go up and mate.
Bear Stearns was immediately confused by the scene before him. Based on Xiong Sheng's experience, he couldn't understand the current relationship between the two at all.
Perhaps in order to attract more people to participate, the war horses were not sold in unified packages. Instead, they were auctioned in groups of one hundred.
This made the big guys who secretly agreed to divide the war horses very unhappy. After the dismantling, the small nobles also had the capital to bid.
It may be a little difficult for a family to buy hundreds of war horses, but when a few relatives and friends get together, it won't be a problem in an instant.
As more people participate, the price will naturally go up. After tentatively quoting the price of 1,500 gold coins, Hudson became a spectator.
After the price of the first group of war horses exceeded two thousand gold coins, the number of people participating in the auction suddenly dropped significantly. In the end, the transaction was completed at a sky-high price of 2,800 gold coins.
Hudson's face gradually turned ugly. This price exceeded the market price. Spending such a large price to buy a war horse is really cost-effective.
Although he got a fortune from the mysterious organization, it still couldn't change the fact that he was a poor man. Instead of spending a lot of gold coins to buy war horses, it is better to go back and train the infantry.
Seeing group after group of war horses being robbed, Hudson knew that his previous agreement was void.
Compared to the people in the box, the majority are the minor nobles below. Because the demand is small, it can afford a higher premium.
If a family purchases ten or eight war horses, even if the price is 50% higher, it will only increase the price by 180 gold coins.
But Hudson couldn't do it. There was a shortage of thousands of war horses. If all were purchased at a premium, the excess budget would be an astronomical figure.
Not only did Hudson not take action, almost all the nobles in the box did not participate in the fight.
War horses fell into the hands of small nobles in various counties, which also enhanced everyone's survivability on the battlefield. There is no need for the elder brother to compete with the younger brother.
The main reason is that the price is too expensive, and the financial resources are accumulated slowly by the ancestors, so they are not allowed to waste money.
After the war horse auction was over, the atmosphere at the venue was pushed to a climax. The sky-high transaction figures constantly stimulated Hudson's nerves.
No wonder these businessmen like to hold auctions. If they were sold outside, without so many potential customers competing for them, these war horses would never be able to sell for such a sky-high price.
If we build an auction house, we can probably make money just from the handling fees...
Suddenly, Hudson discovered that this profitable business had nothing to do with him.
There are so many people attending the auction because this is Beida City. As the capital of the southeastern province, it has the strongest purchasing power in the province.
It's a knot in the corner of the mountainous area. Who's going to go to the backcountry to do business after eating enough?
"The next auction item is our grand finale today, a magical magic wand - the Soul of Shuiyue!
It is said to be from the hands of Master Kaimboy, the number one alchemist in the mainland.
There is an eighth-level magic core embedded on it, and it is also equipped with an energy replenishing device. As long as the magic power in the magic core is not exhausted all at once, it can be replenished with magic crystals.
When releasing water magic, it can reduce the magic power consumption by 30% and increase the original power by 20%, except for forbidden spells!
The minimum starting price is 8,000 gold coins, and each bid increase must not be less than 500 gold coins. The bidding starts now. "
The auctioneer's words instantly detonated the entire audience. A magic wand that reduces magic power consumption by 30% and increases power by 20% is a rare sight.
Anyone who has such a treasure in his hands will leave it to his own people. Even if it is not used now, there will always be people who will use it in future generations.
The reason why it ended up at the auction is most likely due to the war. A certain noble who treasured this item was unable to bear the financial burden of the territory, so he had to reluctantly part with it.
"Ten thousand gold coins!"
Hudson raised his card without hesitation.
As a magician, it is unreasonable not to participate in the fight when encountering such a high-quality magic wand.
Although for Hudson, it is a bit tasteless. But it’s still nice to give as a gift.
His fiancée is a water magician. Although she is being used by a junior magician, it is a waste of resources. Who should let Hudson be in the wrong?
What's more, even if this kind of gift is given away, it will still be brought back in the future. The meat is in the pot after all.
"Twelve thousand gold coins!"
"Thirteen thousand gold coins!"
…
The price kept rising, and soon exceeded the 20,000 mark, but it still didn't stop.
"Twenty, five hundred gold coins!"
"Twenty-five thousand gold coins!"
He raised the sign again and added a one-time price increase of 4,500 gold coins. This was already the lowest price in Hudson's heart.
Spending so much money just to make Pomeranian smile. Deep down, he couldn't help but secretly complain that he was crazy.
It's a pity that it's not just Hudson who is crazy, the family with the water magician is the real crazy one.
"Thirty-five thousand gold coins!"
As soon as this number came out, countless people on the field took a breath. A one-time price increase of 10,000 gold coins was clearly a sure win.
"The distinguished guest in Box 3 is quoted 35,000 gold coins. Is there any higher price?
This is the work of Master Kemboy. Not only is the power of the magic wand itself valuable, but the craftsmanship of the wand is also of high research and collection value. "
The auctioneer encouraged hard.
Unfortunately, what everyone values now is practical value. As for the research and collection value, it is completely dispensable for a magic wand at this price.
"Thirty-five thousand gold coins once!"
The auctioneer's hammer sounded, and Hudson was reduced to a spectator. If he had a water magician in his family, he might still fight hard, but forget it for now!
"Thirty-six thousand gold coins!"
"The distinguished guest in box number two bids thirty-six thousand gold coins, and there are even higher prices..."
"Forty thousand gold coins!"
…
The battle became more and more bloody. Seeing the nobles in the box raising their prices crazily, Hudson was a little suspicious that his offer was not gold coins, but copper coins.
It kept rising all the way, and finally the deal was sold at a sky-high price of 83,000 gold coins. Seeing this, Hudson exclaimed: Incredible!
After calming down, Hudson quickly accepted the reality. The price of magic weapons has never been low.
This "Soul of the Water Moon" magic wand can reduce magic power consumption by 30% and increase magic output by 20%. It is absolutely the best in the battle between strong men of the same level.
The water magician takes this thing to the battlefield, and it is no longer a dream to fight one against two. If it's a sneak attack, you might be able to stun the enemy instantly.
It is equivalent to adding the combat power of an extra magister out of thin air, and it can still be passed down. Is 83,000 gold coins still expensive?
The main reason is that there are not many water magicians in the southeastern province, otherwise this battle may be even more cruel.
If it were taken to the imperial capital for auction, it could possibly fetch 100,000 gold coins. For some established nobles with rich accumulations, gold coins may really be just a number.
After the climax, everyone's enthusiasm for the next auction was much lower. Several items in a row were not sold at a good price.
Hudson also took the opportunity to buy two good elf bows. As the famous "Knight of the Divine Bow", it was unreasonable not to prepare a few good bows.
The number of stray elven bows is not large, but it is not small either. It is not a magic weapon, and there is no magic bonus. Everyone is not very enthusiastic about competing for it, which gives Hudson an advantage.
"Now the second final item of the auction is, yes, these two beautiful elf ladies.
There are not many pure-blooded moon elves in the entire continent. Taking it out will definitely save you face.
Originally, the employer wanted to split the auction, but the two elven ladies were unwilling to separate until death.
The employer is a great knight and is unwilling to do such a thing that is difficult for others. So these elf sisters put them up for auction together.
The starting price is five thousand gold coins, and each bid increase must not be less than three hundred gold coins. The auction begins now. "
After listening to the auctioneer's words, Hudson almost sprayed Isabel with a mouthful of water. Slave traders can also be related to chivalry.
I don’t know where this auctioneer, the Dalton family, found the best, but he was so shameless.
Of course, for a job like hosting an auction, thick skin is also a necessary quality.
Regardless of the quality of the auction items, they must be blown away to achieve a good price.
"Five thousand three hundred gold coins!"
"Five thousand six hundred gold coins!"
"Six thousand gold coins!"
…
Seeing the crowd of boxes constantly raising their cards to fight for it, Hudson immediately watched the excitement. The pair of elf beauties on the stage were indeed beautiful, but that was not enough to make him join the bidding.
Vaguely, Hudson noticed something was wrong. The Soul of Shuiyue appeared in the southeastern province, and it may be a collection of local nobles.
The outside world is easy to sell at high prices, and the outside world is also dangerous. Ordinary nobles simply did not have the ability to take home large amounts of gold coins.
But this pair of elf sister flowers is different. They cannot be sold at a good price in the southeastern province. The fighting on the front line is so fierce, even if you have money in your pocket, you can't squander it casually.
Regardless of the active participation of the nobles, looking at the speed of the price increase, you can tell that everyone has no intention of winning.
Even if you buy it, the probability of taking it home and enjoying it yourself is not high. Either take it out to give gifts, or take it out to make deals with others.
In this context, it is simply impossible to sell at a good price.
It is impossible for a shrewd slave trader not to see this. But we still have to get it to the southeastern province to sell it. Isn’t this a problem with money?
