The leader of the Black Knights, the savior in the hearts of countless people in District 11 under the rule of the Britannian Empire, the hero who was watched by countries all over the world and dealt a heavy blow to the invincible Britannian Empire!
Even though his hands were already stained with blood, Lelouch still hated the sale of human beings. The first time he went to the slave market with Alisa's company, he was shocked enough, but today he couldn't. Instead of sitting in this box and becoming a VIP guest at a female slave auction, in the end, it was because of the recent situation caused by his big reputation that he was rejected by Lelouch Lamperuki, the president of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce who could not tolerate it at this stage. character invitation.
An invitation sent by the great slave merchant Phillibos Cantor, one of the three giants in the free city!
Two of the three giants have already made an olive branch to the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce. This achievement has once again refreshed the record of Free City, and the reason is that the order of Eunogia was completed, and the purity of the entire three hundred bottles was above 75%. The high-purity medicine was delivered in more than a month, and received unanimous praise after being tried by the mages. The Pharmacist Association, which once had a purity of only above 65% and below 70%, was once again slapped in the face. .
Different from healing potions, magic restoration potions are more difficult to prepare. Its characteristics are similar to some kind of stimulating stimulant, which can put the mage's body in an excited state to quickly absorb the surrounding magic power for recovery and to a certain extent. If the purity of the healing potion is too low, it will only slow down the effectiveness and treatment speed. However, if the purity of the magic potion is too low and contains many impurities, it will cause certain damage to the mage's body when taken. Mages will not take magic potion unless it is absolutely necessary, but sometimes there are many places where mages are needed, and many of them are special emergencies.
For mages who are usually wealthy, high-purity medicines with higher natural purity and fewer side effects are much more popular. After all, everyone loves their own bodies!
The Pharmacists Association did not say anything about this matter, which surprised Lelouch who originally thought that the other party would retaliate against him in a big way. However, after thinking about it carefully, although the Pharmacists Association itself was cooperating with Yunokia, Yunokia suddenly It is not a temptation to order such a batch of medicine from myself, although it is not a large amount, but it is already a high-profit transaction for a chamber of commerce of Silver Wing's current size. Maybe the Pharmacists Association has also acquiesced to this temptation, hoping to just Find out his own details in one step, not to mention holding a bottle of life-extending potion in his hand.
Lelouch generally thinks there are two reasons why the Pharmacist Association has not dared to openly attack him.
The first is because of the life-extending potion in her hand. Eunogia must also know this from Philolai. Although she doesn’t know whether the life-extending potion is valuable in the eyes of the devil whose life span is endless, if Yunokia wants to At least until this bottle of potion is obtained, the Pharmacists Association will not be allowed to push themselves too hard in the short period of time, lest the fish and the net are broken and everyone loses more than the gain.
The second is that Yunokia does have the intention to cooperate with her. The Pharmacists Association itself has a cooperative relationship with Yunokia, not a master-slave relationship, because the Pharmacists Association’s monopoly has the final say on prices. Even the three giants definitely don't want to see this kind of monopoly. If a second person emerges who can break the monopoly, they will naturally have a bargaining chip with the former, so that one company will not be dominated by others. Perhaps not only Eunogia, the other two Big Three are also involved in putting pressure on the Pharmacists Association, especially Philibos, who has a private army. The consumption of medicine itself is naturally happy to see an alternative supply channel. come out.
For example, today's invitation can be regarded as a signal sent by Felibos to himself. In addition to inviting himself to participate in the auction as a VIP guest, the invitation letter also states that one of the things he bought tonight will be paid by him later regardless of the price. Sir Philiberts took it upon himself to give it to himself for free.
"Oh! The guest in box No. 13 bid 2.3 million lien. Is there anyone else who bids higher?"
The voice of the host on the stage woke up Lelouch who was deep in thought. He pressed his temples and motioned to the two maids beside him to help him change the already cold black tea. Although there were some items that he was slightly interested in at the auction at first. Things, such as some well-made rare equipment, some valuable real estate title deeds, and some extremely rare materials, some of which were even materials that he had just come to sell in the free city before, but were sold by Felibos' subordinates. The auction house sold it at a price several times higher than its own.
After the watch auction ended, a group of people with VIP invitations were welcomed into the auction house and began the population auction that Lelouch hated.
Lelouch wanted to leave when he first learned that a human auction was taking place, but this time the inviter was indeed Felibus. If he left like this, he knew what kind of signal it would send to Felibus. Felibos's invitation to him is not a test to see if he really has the potential to be attracted and whether he can become a like-minded person who adapts to the rules of this city and enjoys them, or is he a self-proclaimed aloof to himself? There are potential threats.
Lelouch not only considered that outside he was just a teenager but also had a younger sister of a similar age. In theory, any business association or individual who invited him to a banquet would deliberately avoid some people that only adults were more suitable to contact. Generally speaking, they were worried that they would not be able to accept the activities and would be dissatisfied, but Felibos invited him directly. Obviously, Felibos’ ability to sit in the position of the Big Three is enough to show that he is not a fool, and a A wise man's subordinates cannot be fools.
It seems that Sir Phillibos is actually very aware of how much he is hated as a slave merchant. Is it because of this that he deliberately tests himself
"Gentlemen, the guests in Box 21 bid 3 million lien. Is there anyone else who wants to bid higher?"
"First time for 3 million lien!"
"Three million Lien for the second time!"
Suddenly Lelouch noticed the girl on the stage whom he had barely noticed before. He moved his knuckles a little and took a small magic device placed in the box and clicked it.
The moment the host was about to call out the third deal, the projected numbers above instantly changed: "Oh my God! The guest in box No. 11 bid 4 million lien!"
In an instant, everyone in the auction venue started talking quietly, and this also made a man sitting in Box 21 frown. The previous bid was only 100,000, and the price of 200,000 was slowly increased, and the highest price was raised. Once, the person sitting in Box 9 only added 500,000 yuan, but this time the other party added 1 million liens at once!
Followed! The man thought for a moment and then increased the price.
"The guest in Box No. 21 bid 3.1 million Lien! I still have to follow up! The guest in Box No. 11 once again came closer to 3.5 million Lien."
Lelouch lost a number without thinking. Anyway, no matter how high the price was, someone would pay for it. If he wanted to follow, he would just follow to see who would cry to the end.
"The guest in box number 21 follows up again, 3.6 million lien!"
"They are so wealthy that the guest in Box 11 offered 4 million!"
Watching the two people raising prices back and forth, many people in the venue began to watch with interest. The most interesting thing in the auction venue was this kind of mutual bidding. In fact, many times the price itself has been far away. Far beyond the value of the goods, at that time they were already competing for a breath rather than the goods, and it was also the favorite thing for the organizers of the auction, because not only could they make a lot of money, The spread of the matter itself can also become a kind of publicity for the auction house.
Are you angry with me? Lelouch couldn't help but hesitate. Several female slaves had been auctioned before, but none of them had this situation. One of them was a half-elf. In the end, the deal was only 2.7 million Lien. And although this youngest daughter of a noble family in the Kingdom of Creses is outstanding in appearance, temperament and talent, there is no need to engage in such a battle of loyalty.
Thinking back to Lelouch, he clicked the instrument in his hand without hesitation. Some people in the venue couldn't help but started to boo.
"It's really a battle of kings!! The bid for box number 11 is 6 million liens. Is there anyone else who wants to bid higher?" The host was inevitably a little excited. He had previously estimated that the little girl of the Harriman family could sell for 200,000 lien. The price for selling an elf slave girl is around one million, which is not bad, but I didn’t expect that it would be sold for at least three elves.
As for the supervisor who was watching behind the auction, his expression was a little subtle. The president of the Silver Wings Chamber of Commerce was a guest who was invited. The boss had already told him that he could take away an auction item for free no matter how high the price was. Originally, the items sold in this auction were not very valuable, and these high-quality female slaves, which are rarely seen in normal times, were just for the last clearance before the release of Eunogia's construct doll. The capital is guaranteed without asking how much money you make.
But someone actually got into an argument under this situation, and the price was mentioned to such an exaggerated level, but one of the people in the competition was Lelouch!
When the price soared to eight million lien, the backstage manager already wanted to tell Lelouch quietly that the final product was a pair of rare twin elf girls, and they had been trained in the chamber of commerce to be as docile and obedient as kittens. , originally these little elf lolita were gifts that Sir Phillibos planned to give to Lelouch, but now Lelouch actually used this opportunity on a human girl!
Even though she is from a famous family, compared to an elf with better appearance and temperament and a long lifespan that hardly ages, the youngest daughter of the Harriman family, Lydia, is simply not worth the price.
Finally, when Lelouch called for ten million liens, the man in box 21 finally stopped. It seemed that the other party had reached his limit. At this time, Lelouch dropped the magic weapon in his hand. If it weren't for the face of the auction organizer, he really wanted to add another zero to buy a female slave for 100 million lien. It is estimated that this matter will be solved tomorrow. Become headline news throughout Free City.
correct! Free City and this world do not yet have the concept of news! (~^~)
