In a blink of an eye, the day of the auction arrived.
In a secret building in Baishi City, in a spacious venue, the auction is going on.
There were about five hundred people participating in the entire auction, some of them were wealthy nobles, and some were wizard apprentices and even wizards. If you carefully sense it, you can clearly sense the mana fluctuations emanating from the other party.
At this time, on the auction table, a young auctioneer wearing a silver half-face mask had just decided on the ownership of an auction item and shouted: "Congratulations to guest No. 245, for getting this at the price of 100 low-grade crystal coins." auction items.
When the auction is over, we will handle the handover for you. Now, please allow us to transport your beloved auction item and keep it temporarily. Don't worry, we will never touch her or hurt her. "
she!
I saw that at this time, on the auction stage, on the side of the auctioneer, there was a heavy iron chair. On the iron chair, there was a stunning girl in thin clothes tied up with a red rope.
Due to the extremely special rope binding, many parts of the girl's body were extremely protruding, which aroused many people's desire. The girl was in tears, tied to a chair, shivering, and looked so pitiful that people couldn't help but want to love her. In addition, the girl's identity is the princess of a small destroyed country, and her body is filled with noble blood, which makes her have a strong desire to conquer.
Because of this, the stunning girl auctioned off 100 low-grade crystal coins, which is equivalent to 1,000 gold coins. And if it is in other places, such as the black market in Emerald City, the limit is a girl who can sell 10 gold coins.
But no matter what, this auction item already has her owner - a fat and fat aristocrat with a big belly.
Hearing the auctioneer's announcement of the girl's ownership, the greasy noble grinned, licked his lips and smiled with satisfaction.
The auctioneer smiled politely at the greasy nobleman, and then waved his hand. Four strong men in tight black clothes jumped onto the auction stage and quickly lifted the girl who was tied to the iron chair, completely ignoring the girl. Struggling and yelling.
Richard's eyes flashed slightly when he saw this scene from his seat.
He didn't feel much pity for the girl. If he did, he would auction her off. Although the price of 100 low-grade crystal coins is not low, it is quite affordable for him.
However, in the current wizarding world similar to the Middle Ages, it has always been normal for human lives to be humble. If you can save one person, you cannot save two. He has no interest in being a Holy Mother and does not want to help unrelated people unless the other party can bring him some benefits. For example, he is very smart and can quickly learn some of the things he teaches, and then help him get started.
But judging from the performance of the stunning girl just now, it seems that she can do nothing but cry, so naturally he will not auction it off.
At this time, the auctioneer who was presiding over the auction stage spoke up, his tone raised, and he looked even louder than the stunning girl at the auction.
This makes sense. First use an exquisite, useless auction item to arouse the interest of most people and liven up the atmosphere, and then send the final auction item to the auction, which can achieve greater benefits.
This method is much more advanced than the auction house in Cuijin City.
Richard thought.
The auctioneer shouted: "Everyone, the next auction item will be an extremely amazing potion, and its maker calls it 'Heaven'.
What this potion does is... well, it doesn't work.
Yes, you heard that right, it doesn’t do anything substantial—it can’t heal your injuries, it can’t strengthen your body, it can’t extend your life.
But after taking it, it can give you indescribable joy. Let you feel like you have ascended to heaven, forgetting all pain, sorrow, fear and even death. "
Many people in the auction seat were silent, obviously not believing what the auctioneer said.
The auctioneer didn't say much. With a wave of his hand, someone carefully delivered a pink potion in a glass tube. With another wave of his hand, two strong men escorted a skinny man with a bandage and a sinister look on his face.
The thin man was escorted onto the auction stage, his neck shrunk, looking a little scared. The auctioneer looked at him with a smile and said slowly: "Maros, right? You should know that because you stole a lot of things, you should be punished." Hanged. But... you are lucky to have been caught by us, so you will not be hanged, and you can also enjoy the joy that others cannot experience. "
"Huh?" The skinny man named Malos looked at the auction, a little confused and a little wary.
The auctioneer didn't say anything. He handed the pink potion to the strong man and said, "Let him drink it."
"Yes." The strong man responded as he took the potion, opened Malos's mouth, and forcefully drank it.
Soon, the potion took effect, and Malos's face changed slightly, showing an expression of enjoyment.
The auctioneer looked at the strong man and said, "Untie his rope."
"Yes." The strong man said, walked to Malos, quickly untied the rope on Malos, and let Malos regain his freedom.
But Malos didn't even think about running away. He just stood staggering on the stage with a smile on his face, as if he was experiencing something wonderful.
The auctioneer looked at the strong man and said, "Do it."
"Yes." The strong man said, holding the rope taken from Malos in his hand, walked behind Malos, strangled Malos's neck, and then tightened it hard.
Malos fell to his knees with a "pop", but he didn't struggle at all and still had a smile on his face.
The strong man put his knees on Malos's back and used all his strength to tighten the rope. Visible to the naked eye, the rope was biting into Maros's flesh and blood, causing Maros's entire face to become bloodshot, his eyes bulging and bloodshot.
But even so, Malos still didn't struggle and kept smiling.
In the end, Malos died on the stage with a smile.
At this time, the strong man pulled out a knife from his waist and stabbed it into Malos's body. Malos remained motionless, proving that he was really dead and not pretending.
Everyone in the auction seat looked at this scene and couldn't help but began to whisper among themselves, with different expressions.
Richard sat on his seat and raised his eyebrows slightly. Some sensed the audacity of the auction.
If the public auction of living people before was considered normal. Now directly killing people to prove the effect of the medicine is considered as not taking human life seriously at all. Although many nobles and wizards do this, at least they don't do it so obviously.
This is... very strong.
This can also explain why you must have an invitation letter to participate in this auction. It is obvious that this auction is only open to a small group of people who also do not take human life seriously - these people often have strong purchasing power.
But... how did the great scholar Surates get the invitation letter and give it to himself
Richard narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seems that the other party is not as simple as it appears on the surface.
