"What is that," Joko stared at the glow in astonishment, ignoring the dazzling light, "is it sold at the fair?"

"It has many names, such as sunstone, light crystal...... But we prefer to call it the Magic Stone, because we've heard that it comes from the devil's lair," Seventy-Six explained in a low voice, "This kind of thing has been auctioned off in the past, and most of the prices have been between two or three thousand gold dragons, which is not only expensive, but also very rare, and is not available at every exhibition - at least there are no magic stones in the list of competitors scheduled for tonight. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" She paused, "My lord, are you here for the first time?"

"Uh...... Sort of. He touched his nose with a slight feeling of weakness, a single one is worth so much, isn't that the magic stone on the stage alone used for lighting more than 10,000 golden dragons?

The guide seemed to see his uneasiness, and took the initiative to lean closer, and whispered in his ear like a lover, "It's nothing, my lord, every guest who participates in the underground exhibition for the first time will be shocked by the magic stone, which is also a means for the "black money" to show its ability. ”

"You're one of their tactics, aren't you?" Joko may not have been as knowledgeable as those of the great aristocratic families, but he was quite comfortable with women, and the gentle and considerate tone of the guide effectively alleviated his ups and downs, and he took advantage of the situation to grab the other party's waist and pull him into his arms.

"It's only when you get your approval. ”

"I've already approved it, and I'll ...... after the show is over"

"I'm still here for you, sir. She nodded slightly.

Joko is starting to like the place a little.

Moving his gaze to the booth, two rounds of bidding items had passed, and he didn't even pay attention to what was being sold, and the crowd around him also did not respond well, which was obviously not a good thing.

It's similar to the show Denny took him to, the first few rounds are usually appetizers, and the middle and later stages are the focus.

According to Otto's judgment, the witch's ranking this time should not be too low, and almost seven or eight hundred golden dragons can be sold - after all, for these merchants, simple beauty can no longer arouse much interest, what they need is excitement and curiosity.

It wasn't until the first living person was pushed to the front desk that there was a slight cacophony in the crowd.

It was a woman, who looked ordinary, and there was almost nothing that made people stand out except for her good complexion.

And Joko noticed that, unlike the slave market, which liked to strip the goods for sale naked, she was tightly wrapped all over her body, and she was dressed like a lady in a gorgeous robe that only nobles could afford.

"What kind of trick is this?" he pinched Seventy-Six's waist, "Passing off a slave as a nobleman can raise the auction price?"

"It's not a slave posing like a nobleman, it's a noble slave," the guide corrected with a smile.

"Is there a difference between the two—wait," Joko's eyes widened suddenly, "what did you say?"

"She is a nobleman herself," Seventy-Six made a small gesture, "not a distant relative or a side branch, but a direct bloodline of a large family, a de jure heir." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you see this young lady?" the presiding man said in a loud voice, "Avnee Thanverken, the daughter of an earl from the Gravel Forest of the Wolfheart Kingdom - of course, since her father died in the war with the Church, she is already the new Earl of the Gravel Forest according to the law! The Temperaken family dates back three hundred years and is also quite famous in the Wolfheart, but I believe that the Emerald Stone incident twenty years ago is more vivid in everyone's memory than the family history. Now is a good opportunity to repay the Tamverken family! The lowest price is 300 gold dragons, please bid if you are interested!"

"Three hundred and ten!" someone immediately shouted.

"Three hundred and fifty golden dragons!"

"I'll give four hundred!"

"You ...... Crazy!" Looking at the rising prices, Joko couldn't believe it, "Selling real nobles as slaves is an unforgivable felony in any country!"

There is an unwritten rule among the nobility, that is, the continuation of the bloodline is above all else, and anyone who stands in its way is the common enemy of the nobility. Therefore, paying the ransom for defeat has become the default rule - even if it loses power temporarily, as long as the bloodline can continue, there will be a day of re-emergence at any time, especially the royal family and nobles, which have not changed for hundreds of years.

And this exhibition is simply a blatant confrontation with the entire aristocracy.

"As long as it doesn't make much of a fuss," said Number Seventy-Six, "people don't blame the nobility for 'black money', after all, the church is responsible for all this." ”

"What will happen to these nobles in the end......? Right?"

The guide couldn't help but laugh out loud, "At that time, the Tamford Ken family maliciously lowered the price of jadeite stones, which made many gem merchants suffer enough, and of course this reward will ...... It's brutal. But from the very beginning, they were destined to never see the light of day again, no different from witches. ”

The next few bidders are all nobles of Yongdong and Wolfheart, they have men and women, and the age range of male ** subordinates is larger and more popular.

Presumably, the merchant ladies preferred the experienced and authentic nobles to the heirs.

Joko finally understood what Otto meant by "not easy to see the light", and why the vetting was so strict—I am afraid that in addition to wealth and family background, it was also important to have the intention to buy. In other words, the people who can be brought in by "black money" are all potential buyers, and they are all in the same boat.

By the time of the 10th round of bidding, Joko's goal for the trip had finally arrived.

I have to say that even if she is firmly bound, the appearance she shows has steadily surpassed the aristocratic women in the previous rounds. His long brown hair was messily scattered over his shoulders, and his coarse linen clothes were a little thin in this season, and a few whip marks could be seen on his bare hands and feet. Although he looks a little haggard, he still can't hide his beautiful facial features and smart temperament.

"A refugee witch from the heart of a wolf, without a name, has the ability to use the power of the devil to heal herself! Thanks to the enthusiastic citizens for the report, such an opportunity is rare, think about it, how many ways can a witch who can constantly revive her body play! If you are troublesome to raise, "black money" can also do it for you! The lowest price is five hundred gold dragons, please bid!" the host shouted.

"Five hundred and ten!"

"Five hundred and six!"

"Six hundred golden dragons!"

Joko didn't speak immediately, knowing that the number shouted would only have the final effect when the price was close to stability.

However, the unexpected happened, and Otto's expected price of 800 was soon exceeded, and the outcry came and went, and soon it broke through the 1,000 mark, and there was no sign of stopping.

Joko felt a fine sweat in his palms.
