The goblin was very excited. He threw away the wooden stick in his hand and pounced on the unconscious girl like a hungry wolf. He snatched the money pouch from her waist and opened it. Pep's mouth immediately twisted in joy when she saw that it was filled with gold.
"My goodness, it's been a long time since we've met such a big fat sheep. This auction is enough for us three brothers to live happily for half a year."
"Half a year? No, no, no, it's obviously a lifetime. " Marden's eyes were also filled with greed. However, his focus was different from the Goblin's. The masked man did not care about the money pouch that was filled with gold coins. Instead, he walked to the side and picked up The Brave's sword from the ground.
"Is this thing worth a lot?" His action successfully attracted the Goblin's attention, and the latter came up to him and asked.
Marden did not answer his question. Instead, he directly pulled out the sword from its scabbard. The moment the sword was unsheathed, it glowed faintly. The masked man's fingers stroked the blade of the sword and touched the line of faintly discernible words on it. The greed on his face intensified.
After a long while, Marden let out a sigh of satisfaction. "Every Elven Artifact Sword is an absolute treasure, and this one is the cream of the crop. The Ancient Elven Language is engraved on the blade of the sword, and I'm afraid that this sword has an extraordinary origin. If it were to be auctioned, the final transaction price would most likely exceed 10,000 gold coins."
The Goblin was shocked by the number. "What? W-How much did you say?"
"10,000 gold coins. Furthermore, if we meet a buyer who knows the value of this sword, we can't rule out the possibility of increasing the price further. However, we can forget about getting this amount of money. Most of the items in the auction can be investigated. We can only sell them through black channels. It's always so troublesome to deal with the items of nobles."
Marden pouted his lips at the rookie, The Brave. "However, from the looks of it, her family has probably declined. There shouldn't be any follow-up problems. I'll also try to get more money from the black market."
"How much can we get?" Pep's breathing quickened.
"I definitely won't make a move if it's less than 5,000," the masked man said with certainty.
The Gnome's cunning eyes narrowed into two slits, and his saliva almost flowed out when he heard the number.
"What are you so happy about?" Another voice came from outside the cellar. It was the guy who disguised himself as a Holy Knight. He had also returned from outside.
"I'm rich! Lavin, we're rich! "the goblin said excitedly.
"Yo, looks like the harvest this time is pretty good." The guy named Lavin had indeed received some knight training. However, he was expelled from the training center because he did not follow the rules. However, he was very quick-witted and brave since he was young. He bought a set of Holy Knight armor from the black market and used the church's name to swindle people. Later, he met Marden and Pepe. The three of them were birds of a feather. They hit it off and started their current business.
However, he only dared to use that set of armor when he was acting. He did not dare to wear it on the streets. If he was bumped into by a real Holy Knight, he would not be able to show his face in Sethevia Port anymore.
In fact, as soon as Marden left with Lolo, Lavin, who had fainted on the ground, immediately jumped up from the ground in high spirits. He quickly took off his armor and walked out of the alley. He found a tavern nearby and ordered a glass of orange juice. As he drank, he calculated the time. He estimated that it was almost time to wrap things up. Then, he stood up and paid the bill. He even packed a bottle of champagne before he left.
As soon as he returned to the butcher's shop, he heard the Goblin cheering. Lavin threw the things in his hands away and jumped into the cellar with the bottle of champagne.
Marden did not say a word. All he did was pass the Elven sword in his hand to him.
The latter was stunned when he saw the longsword for the first time. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is … the masterpiece of the elves?"
"That's right. It's most likely made by the ancient elves. I've checked it carefully just now and realized that the craftsmanship of this sword is different from the elves' usual smelting technology. I'm afraid this sword is more valuable than we thought." Marden quickly threw out another piece of shocking news.
Lavin was not as heartless as the Goblin beside him. He frowned when he heard the news. He walked up to the unconscious rookie, The Brave, and looked at her carefully. "Where did this guy come from?" "Don't worry, I've done a detailed investigation.
He entered the city at noon today alone. As soon as he entered the city, he went to the pier and booked a ticket for the ship the day after tomorrow. That ship should be going to the Free city-state. He looked a little lost after that. I followed him for a while, but he didn't seem to know where he was going. He was just wandering around. It's obvious that he doesn't know many friends in Sethevia Port. Judging from his attire, even if he was born in a noble family, his family must have declined by now. Besides, I suspect that he might have offended the temple in the past. He didn't seem too surprised when I used the name of the temple to threaten him … "
Marden concluded. "All in all, he shouldn't be in a good situation. This is also the reason why we picked him. As long as we do it discreetly, no one in Sethevia will notice the disappearance of a foreigner."
Lavin nodded and immediately opened the champagne in his hand. "Since that's the case, let the three of us celebrate this historic deal."
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressionless face of the Orc Butcher suddenly appeared above his head.
The three of them suddenly became a little nervous. The relationship between them and the Orc Butcher had always been very subtle. Both parties were not in cahoots. The Orc Butcher lent them the venue and charged them a certain fee for the venue. At first, the three of them were a little worried that the Orc Butcher would suddenly have ulterior motives. However, later on, they realized that the Orc Butcher had never cared about what they did. Over time, the three of them also felt relieved and treated the Orc Butcher as if he didn't exist.
However, the situation this time was different from the past. In the past, the three of them were at most playing around. This time, however, it involved a treasure that was worth tens of thousands of gold coins. With such a large sum of money placed in front of them, few people would not be tempted. It was possible that the Orc Butcher was now thinking of taking advantage of them.
Although the three of them had never seen him in action, the Butcher's burly physique was right there. If they were to really fight, he would definitely not be easy to deal with. Goblin Pepe was already regretting that he had gotten carried away just now. He could not wait to share the joy of making a fortune with the world.
