On the wooden platform, the auction was going on.
The host, wearing a suit of shiny glass shards, loudly announced the ownership of the auction items: "Thirty-five thousand gold coins! This is equivalent to 3,500 low-grade crystal coins, or thirty-five high-grade crystal coins! Okay. , this Starry Night Meditation Hat passed down from Deep Blue Castle belongs to Auctioneer No. 13!"
As he spoke, the host pointed to the table next to him.
I saw a green pointed hat on the table. The material was not ordinary cloth, but the fur of a special animal. There were a large number of metal ornaments on the brim, and each metal was engraved with complicated patterns. -This is an extremely complex and valuable magic item.
Meditation hats, as the name suggests, are specially designed to help a person meditate. Used by wizards or wizard apprentices, they can greatly improve the efficiency of meditation. When ordinary people use it, it is possible to break through the difficulties of reshaping life and obtain unprecedented extraordinary experiences - but the chance is extremely small.
It can be said that the meditation hat is extremely useful. Considering that one person cannot meditate all day long, it can be shared with others and even passed down to future generations. Therefore, as soon as this meditation hat was unveiled, it aroused competition from many people, and the price continued to rise, breaking the record since the auction began, reaching 35,000 gold coins.
However, Richard was not interested in him. After all, his meditation was completely different from other people's. Buying a meditation hat was also a waste. So he made no comment in the previous bidding. Therefore, there were only three people around him who were malicious, and more people's malicious intentions were now directed at the Meditation Hat winner—Auctioneer No. 13.
Although No. 13 did not have anything similar to the "Feather of Judgment", he clearly felt the actual malice. However, he didn't react too violently. He just tried to tighten the cloak he was wearing to hide his entire face.
"Okay!" At this time, the host on the wooden stage spoke again, and while signaling the assistant to send the auction items down, he said, "According to the old rules, all auctions will hand over the money after the auction. , now we have the next auction item.
This auction item, well, is not precious. After all, no matter how precious it is, it can hardly be higher than the Starry Night Meditation Hat just now - someone risked his life and stole it from Deep Blue Castle. It is said that so far, Deep Blue Castle are still investigating. "
"You!" The winner of the auction suddenly shouted, glaring at the host on the stage, but then suppressed it, hiding his face even deeper.
The host on the stage was not affected and continued: "Although, the next auction item is not precious, but it is extremely useful and will be useful to most of the people here."
After finishing speaking, the host waved his hand to the corner of the wooden stage!
Immediately, a young girl walked up. She was fair-skinned, thin and frail. Just her walking movements gave people a pitiful feeling.
The girl was wearing a light blue costume, with her head lowered, looking a little timid. She walked to the host and stopped, motionless, as if she had accepted her fate as a commodity.
The host shouted to the girl unhappily: "Look up."
The young girl's body trembled, and she raised her head as if she was electrocuted, revealing a melon face and big eyes, but the expression on her face was sad and aggrieved.
The host looked at it and issued an order in a cold voice: "Laugh!"
The young girl's lips trembled a few times, as if she was struggling, but in the end she raised the corners of her mouth, slightly bent her eyes, and tried to show a smiling face - it looked like a pretty good smile, especially with a forced smile. It was so tempting that some of the auctioneers made tutting sounds.
The host said: "Okay, you have already seen that our auction item is this girl. Everyone has standards for whether she is beautiful or not. I won't say anything more. What I want to say is that our auction item can be Not a vase, not just a plaything.
She is the granddaughter of a knowledgeable scholar who came into our hands for various reasons. She speaks six languages - three currently in use and three ancient languages. She can help you translate books or communicate with some indigenous people. "
"Of course!" The host raised his voice and reached out to grab the girl's top. The girl reached out to stop her, but thought of something terrible and stopped as soon as she made a move.
"Hmph." The host snorted in an imperceptible manner and shouted to the many auctioneers in the audience: "Of course, everyone, if you simply treat her as a toy, that's not impossible.
After all, as long as you buy her, she is yours and you can do whatever you want with her. And I can guarantee that even as a plaything, it has a bit more flavor than other vulgar products, as you will see! "
With a "stab" sound, the host finished speaking, and with a sudden force, he tore the girl's top to pieces, exposing the girl's skin.
But the girl under the clothes is not naked, or not completely naked - the smooth body surface is tattooed with many gorgeous flower patterns. At first glance, I thought it was a corner of a garden. There were many flowers vying for beauty, and two flower buds were in bud, which was extremely attractive.
The girl's body was shaking, she was trying hard to maintain a smile on her face, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
The auctioneers in the audience looked at it and made even louder noises.
The host showed a satisfied smile, felt that the heat was up, and shouted: "Okay, everyone, let's get started. The starting price is 1,500 gold coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 200 gold coins, let's start!"
"Fifteen hundred gold coins!"
As soon as the host's voice fell, someone raised a sign.
Before the host could announce it, the second person raised the sign again.
"One thousand seven hundred gold coins!"
Then came the third, then the fourth.
"One thousand nine hundred gold coins!"
"Two thousand one hundred gold coins!"
Obviously, although the girl on the stage is not as useful as the starry sky meditation hat, many people want to get it. After all... it is high quality and cheap.
Richard sat in the corner and looked motionless, as if he had nothing to do with it.
Actually...it really doesn't matter.
The girl's identity introduction sounded somewhat similar to that of the cat slave girl Heidi. If she didn't see anyone, he might actually care about her. But now that he saw the person and was sure it wasn't Heidi, he didn't need to do anything.
If you think about it, you can understand that Heidi came to seek refuge with relatives after all. Even though this relative might be unreliable and frighten Heidi, it was impossible to sell Heidi as a slave girl. Otherwise, the university would not have asked Heidi to take refuge.
Having said that, if I could find Heidi's specific whereabouts and meet her, I would be able to completely let go of this matter and no longer have to worry about it.
So, we have to keep looking.
