The problem may lie in the witch's abilities. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yoko realizes that the eldest son of the Lossy family only hears about witches for sale, but ignores the factor of ability - dangerous, strange abilities obviously drive down the price of witches, after all, no one wants to lose their lives by one negligence. You must know that they are all extraordinary people, whether they are minions of the devil or not, it is always risky to play.

And this witch's ability doesn't sound terrible, self-healing not only can't hurt others, but also satisfies the needs of some curiosity hunters, so the price will greatly exceed expectations.

"Your Excellency, won't you make a bid?" said Seventy-Six for the first time.

"Uh...... Wait," Joko wiped the sweat from his hands, and although Otto said that the black letter was money, how much was it worth? a thousand gold dragons, or two thousand? If the limit was exceeded, would the "black money" be recognized? What if he made up for the gap out of his own pocket? A series of questions flooded into his mind, making it difficult for him to breathe, let alone a thousand golden dragons, even a hundred he couldn't take out.

At this time, the bidding has gradually leveled off, and the amount of each increase is around ten gold dragons, and the interval is getting slower and slower.

"One thousand two hundred and sixty!"

"Is there anything higher?"

Joko knew that if he didn't say anything, he would miss out on the witch.

That's it, he gritted his teeth, and if the limit was exceeded, he would reveal the identity of the ambassador of the Grey Castle, and they would never be rude to an ambassador of a country, and then delay it until tomorrow morning for Otto to pay.

"Bid, fifteen hundred golden dragons. He whispered.

"Yes," Seventy-Six immediately raised his right hand, "Fifteen hundred!"

The audience suddenly burst into discussion.

Raising the price by nearly 300 at a time is obviously a must-win for witches, and this method of shouting not only shows the attitude of the seller, but also has the meaning of stepping down the ladder for other bidders - after all, the people who can get the "black money" invitation are a group of people at the peak of wealth or power, and maintaining a relationship is more important than a purely fun commodity, if it is not something irreplaceable, it will generally not continue to fight.

This is what Joko learned from Denise about bidding, and he hopes to make it difficult for other bidders to retreat.

But his hopes were soon dashed.

"Eighteen hundred!"

In less than a few breaths, the crowd once again sounded with a new offer.

Joko's heart sank.

It's also a jump auction - which means that the other party is just like him, and he is determined to win.

"Your Excellency?" reminded Seventy-Six.

"Two thousand. Joko gritted his teeth.

"Two thousand three hundred!" The guide had just made a bid for a while, and the price continued to rise.

Damn, even if it's for self-healing ability, this price is too outrageous! A top female slave girl with good looks and skills in the slave market will basically not exceed 100 golden dragons, buy a dozen and play with whatever you want, and don't worry about violating the law of the dawn, isn't it more suitable than a witch?

And he noticed that the guide who was shouting for the other party was a man.

"The guide is based on the gender of the bidder, right?" said Yoko, hatefully, "so that guy is a woman? She doesn't have the skills I have, so buy a witch to watch it!"

"Unless the guest has special needs, it's exactly what you say. Seventy-six nodded, "Do you want to continue to increase the price?"

"Two hundred at a time, until she gives up!"

Now, Joko has also been released, he doesn't believe that the other party's background can be compared to the three major families of Dawn, anyway, this matter is requested by Otto, and there is trouble for him to resist.

As the two competed for the bid, the people around them also began to exchange words, apparently full of interest in this kind of good show.

When the amount soared to four thousand, the other side finally became dumb.

But this price is already five times more than Otto's prediction.

"Four thousand once!"

"Twice!"

The host's unhurried tone made Joko very worried, and he wanted to rush up and bang the little hammer that decided the price in his place.

Fortunately, the nightmarish cry never sounded again.

"Three times, deal!"

Joko let out a sigh of relief and leaned back on the bench, feeling a little wet behind him.

Four Thousand Golden Dragons...... He suddenly felt that his previous days in the royal capital had been in vain, and the so-called feasting on the wind and moon was probably just a joke in the eyes of the great families and wealthy merchants.

"Congratulations, my lord," said the guide with a grin, "Item 10 is yours!"

The people around him also cast respectful glances at him - no matter what, being able to throw four thousand gold dragons for a short-term consumable item is worthy of respect.

In Dawn, wealth is a status symbol.

Ignoring the anxieties and worries of the bidding process, the experience was as sweet as honey for Joko, and for the first time, he tasted the feeling of being in the spotlight, not the usual contempt or perfunctory, but the attention and attention of the big people.

"Are the next auctions all slaves?" asked Yoko after he had enough of his thoughts.

"No," replied Seventy-Six, "I heard that it was a very rare treasure, and it took a lot of effort for the Black Money to get it." ”

"Even you don't know?"

"The boss said it was even more mysterious," she said helplessly, "and he only revealed to us that it was a relic with a magic stone embedded in it." ”

"So that thing can glow?" Joko pouted, "You said there were no magic stones on the list for auction. ”

"There is not only one kind of magic stone, some stones do not shine, but they are the best jewelry," Seventy-Six explained, "For example, the Azure Star, which was auctioned off for 3,400 golden dragons half a year ago, is a magic stone that does not shine. But in the dark, you can see that there are countless stars twinkling inside, which is not at all comparable to ordinary gemstones. ”

The price is not something that ordinary gems can have, and Joko can't help but wonder a little in his heart, what kind of beauty must be to sell it for such a high price? Anyway, the things that Otto asked have been done, and then he should have a long experience, and he can brag a few more words in front of Denise in the future.

finally waited for the final round of bidding, but the result was a big disappointment for him.

It was a long sword.

It is true that the hilt of the sword is inlaid with four brightly colored gemstones, but is this selling stones or weapons?

The host boasted that it had been found in an ancient ruin in the Desperate Mountains, and that the frescoes around it indicated that the sword once belonged to a brilliant samurai, and that in her hands it could even invoke celestial phenomena, and that her enemies were demons from hell. Joko scoffed at this, saying that it might be more practical to dismantle the gems and sell them separately, when the other party clearly misunderstood the point by putting the propaganda on the weapon.

The starting price of 50,000 gold dragons caused an uproar in the audience, and in the end, no one bid, resulting in a hasty end to this round of bidding.

"Where's the witch I bought?" Joko's mind was no longer on the show, and he touched Seventy-Six's thigh and whispered, "Have you put it in my room?"

"Of course, my lord," the latter chuckled, "the 'black money' is all ready for you, please come with me." ”
