"The second item is a purple fantasy series set designed by Master Lisa from Bakong City. It consists of a necklace, 2 earrings, and a ring. The whole set is made of gold and purple gems. With Master Lisa's perfect design, it is very popular among the nobles in Bakong City. The base price of this set is 800 gold coins, and each increment must be at least 50 gold coins." Hopper said excitedly.
Abel had already lost interest when he heard the word "jewelry". There was no mistress in Harry Castle, and Abel was still young. Jewelry was still too far away for him.
Abel looked around at the people around him. Although he couldn't see their faces, he could roughly guess who they were from their posture and behavior.
Most of these people were merchants. This could be seen from the way they spoke. Some of them deliberately imitated the way the nobles spoke and behaved, but they did not know that the etiquette they used was incompatible with the situation in front of them. It was completely wrong.
There was also a small group of people who had received noble training since they were young. Normal people might not be able to tell, but as long as one was a real noble, they would be able to tell at a glance that there was something different about them.
These nobles rarely raised their hands to increase the price. It seemed like they were waiting for something.
Abel was also not interested in the next 10 or so items. Most of them were used by noblewomen. It was very difficult for normal people to buy them, but here they were directly auctioning them.
Abel didn't understand. If these people were not nobles, they would be arrested by the noble arbitration tribunal if they used these items in public.
"You haven't bought anything for a while. Are you also waiting for the last item?" The person on the side saw Abel was just watching and didn't make a move.
"I'm not interested in these things. It's strange that these people are not nobles. Aren't they afraid of being arrested if they buy these things?" Abel said in confusion.
"It seems like you don't know much about merchants. They are humble and vain. Only the gold coins in their hands can give them a sense of comfort. After these items are auctioned, no one will use them outside. They will only admire them at home." The person explained.
"My god, what a unique taste." Abel couldn't imagine that the jewelry designed for banquets and the costumes for balls could only be used in his own restaurant.
"Next is the last auction item. This item might be the reason why so many people have come here. Please take a look!" After auctioning more than ten items in a row, Hopper did not feel tired at all. Instead, he became more and more energetic, especially when it came to the last item. He seemed to have reached his peak state, showing the professionalism of a chief auctioneer.
"She has eyes as blue as the sky, a small cherry-like mouth, and sharp jade-like ears. She has an extremely graceful figure. She is an elf from the Double Moon Forest." Under Hopper's aria-like praise, a female elf in handcuffs walked up to the auction stage. There was a small iron chain on the handcuffs, and the other end of the iron chain was pulled by a guard.
The female elf looked very young, or rather, very young. She was an underage elf girl. Her expression was full of fear, and her blue eyes were filled with fear.
"This is a virgin elf. The starting price is 10000 gold coins, and the minimum bid is 500 gold coins each time. Please make your bids!" Hopper shouted.
"10000 gold coins." As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted impatiently.
"11000 gold coins."
"11500 gold coins."
"12000 gold coins."
The continuous increase in the price caused the auction hall to suddenly become lively. Those who had not bid before seemed to become active at this time, constantly increasing the price of the auction.
Abel frowned and asked the person next to him, "The duchy prohibits the sale of any slaves except for orcs. Why is there an elf for sale in this auction house?"
"I didn't know that an elf would be auctioned today. Oh no, I didn't bring enough money." When the person heard Abel's words, he suddenly remembered the number of gold coins in his wallet and couldn't help but cry out.
Abel shook his head. As for the sale of elves, it was probably Prince Middleton George's idea. He could even trade with worgens, let alone an elf.
"I bid 15000 gold coins." An auctioneer yelled and looked around. His body was full of murderous intent, and a faint sense of pressure leaked out.
"A senior Knight!" Abel was shocked. He didn't expect to see a senior Knight in this kind of situation. This kind of pressure could only be released by a senior Knight, and this auctioneer's pressure was not as strong as the one released by Viscount Dickens or wolf rider captain of Flaurling. This meant that this person should be a senior Knight.
This man had used his spiritual pressure in public, and it was aimed at ordinary people. Suddenly, some of the people closest to him had collapsed on the ground. These people's souls had been hurt by the spiritual pressure and murderous intent at the same time. Although the spiritual pressure of an elite knight was very weak, for these ordinary people, it was impossible to recover without a month of rest.
The people who were further away were pale, but their souls were shocked. They were not injured, but they couldn't speak for a while.
"Why don't you continue?" This senior Knight seemed to be very proud of his behavior. He looked at Hopper on the auction stage and said loudly.
"How dare you?" Hopper knew how strong the people behind Kree's auction house were. He was not afraid of the troublemaker. He then turned around and said to the guards next to him, "Catch him."
This time, Hopper miscalculated. He didn't expect the troublemaker to be a senior Knight. The fighting power of a senior Knight was not something these intermediate warriors could compare with. It was like a fight between a child and a giant. In the blink of an eye, all 6 guards were on the ground, moaning.
Abel could also see that this senior Knight was holding back. He probably didn't want to kill people in Harvest City. This kind of black auction was not protected by the law. As long as no one died, he wouldn't have to worry about the sheriff looking for him after he walked out of this auction house. As for Kree's auction house, why would a senior Knight like him be afraid of an auction house?
"It seems like I've saved 15000 gold coins." In the wild laughter of the senior Knight, he rushed to the auction stage and kicked Hopper off the stage. He didn't even look at the seemingly strong guard who was paralyzed on the ground. He went straight to the elf.
"Lovely elf lady, I've always dreamed of having an elf as my maid. From now on, you will be my personal maid, and I will be your master." The senior Knight said politely with a bow.
The elf girl was stunned. Her big eyes looked around as if she was looking for a trace of help.
Abel didn't plan to help, but when he saw the helplessness and despair in the elf girl's eyes, it reminded Abel of the fear he felt when he first came to this world. During that time, he was scared every day, alone in this strange world. His situation was very similar to this elf girl's. The elf girl was now in the human world, surrounded by malicious humans.
The Elite Knight reached out his hand to grab the chain, but a hand grabbed the chain first and blocked his forward hand.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere with my business? " The senior Knight was very angry. A person of his status came to a place like this because he heard there were elves for sale. How dare someone stop him in a dirty place like this?
Abel looked at the senior Knight in front of him and found it funny. He just realized the senior Knight in front of him didn't have a weapon because he wanted to hide his identity.
"Finally, I have a chance to fight a senior Knight bare-handed." Abel thought to himself. He couldn't help but feel a little excited. Lord Marshall had stopped fighting with Abel in Harry Castle a long time ago. Like all the Knights in this world, Lord Marshall seriously lacked bare-handed fighting skills. Therefore, Lord Marshall refused because Knights never learned bare-handed fighting.
