GOR Chapter 177: You Sweep The Altar, I'll Clean The Toilet
There is actually someone who dares to stir up trouble?
Gu Luo does not dare to provoke someone, yet there is someone who dares to make a bid at this moment? Is this not a blatant provocation?
The crowd immediately parted automatically, revealing the face of the guy who spoke at the end of the line.
A tall and thin man with an indifferent face like a boulder. It was as though he did not care about anything. His eyes were a rare grey colour …
However, when everyone saw the clothes he was wearing, they all sucked in a breath of cold air!
This fellow was wearing a long robe. Judging by the style of the robe, he should be a servant. However, a symbol was clearly embroidered on his robe …
That symbol was very familiar to everyone! Because that was the symbol of the Shrines!
A member of the Shrines?
When Fatty Gu Luo heard someone trying to stir up trouble at this moment, he became furious. He was about to unleash his fury when he turned around and saw the person who made the bid. The roar that had reached his throat was quickly swallowed back down!
Shrines?
He dared not provoke them!
More importantly, this fellow in Shrines robe was clearly just a servant. Behind him, at an unknown point in time, the originally crowded square had become empty.
Two snow white horses pulled a carriage to a stop at the back of the crowd. There were several attendants around the carriage with serious expressions on their faces. They wore the robes of the Imperial Family and wore the emblem of the Shrines on their chests.
The window of the carriage was covered with a light gauze. A small crystal clear hand casually rested on the edge of the window. Even the fingertips of the hand were extremely delicate.
Gu Luo had been around the Imperial City for a long time. Naturally, he recognized the carriage. He glanced at it and the cold sweat on his forehead that had just faded away immediately reappeared. He turned around to look at Du Wei and then at the carriage. His face revealed an incomparably awkward expression.
As for Duwei, he squinted his eyes and sized up the carriage.
Because Du Wei had seen this carriage before! Not too long ago, it was right before the Imperial Palace's gates!
She was the daughter of the late Crown Prince who died in the rebellion. She was the Holy Maiden of the Shrines. As a direct descendant of the royal family, she was willing to enter the Shrines to serve the gods.
Just like the last time, Du Wei stood there and could clearly feel a pair of eyes looking at him through the veil.
Last time at the entrance of the Imperial Palace, she seemed to have peeked at him from inside the carriage. Now, she was also looking at him … That meant that she clearly recognized him, but …
Hmph … Looks like they're here for me!
Du Wei smiled and looked at Sandy: "Can people from the Shrines buy slaves?"
This quick-witted kid was already a little dumbfounded at this moment. He stammered, "Seems like … there is."
•
Frankly speaking, Du Wei did not want to quarrel with anyone. However, the other party was obviously coming for him. Despite knowing his identity, the other party still dared to provoke him so openly …
If it was just for a few slaves, Du Wei might have laughed it off and left.
However, since the other party is deliberately provoking me, why should I endure it?
"One hundred gold coins." Du Wei did not even bat an eyelid as he continued to bid.
The servant walked to the side of the carriage and said something in a low voice. Then, as if he had received an order from the master of the carriage, his originally cold expression showed a trace of surprise. He coughed and opened his mouth: "One … one hundred and one gold coins."
Du Wei smiled, this time it was a sneer!
"Two hundred!"
"Two hundred and one." The servant seemed to feel that this method was a bit too aggressive.
Du Wei narrowed his eyes: "Three hundred."
"Three hundred … one gold coins."
The slave trader's face was already sweating like rain. Originally, the higher the price, the better. But now, it seems that both sides are people with great backgrounds. This money … will be a hot potato!
Du Wei had already bid five hundred gold coins.
He was not doing this purely out of anger, but to fight for face. Otherwise, if word got out that this young Duke was suppressed by the Saintess of the Shrines, then his reputation in the noble circle would be affected.
The surrounding people, even if they were stupid, could see that something was wrong. The originally crowded square had already been separated, leaving a large empty space in the middle. Only Du Wei, Guro, and the people from the Shrines were in the middle of the empty space, especially eye-catching.
At this time, Du Wei was absolutely unwilling to back down! He was not willing to do something that would cause him to lose face in public.
This was not because Du Wei was reckless. Since the other party was deliberately provoking him, then he could not back down!
Otherwise, even if he backed down today, the other party would continue to cause trouble for him in the future! It was better to shed all pretense of cordiality today and avoid the trouble of hiding!
When the price was raised to a thousand gold coins, the other party suddenly stopped talking.
In the quiet square, a leisurely voice suddenly came out from the carriage. The voice was very delicate, but without the charm of a woman, instead, it had a trace of indifference: "Since the Duke is not willing to part with your treasure, then forget it … Alas, originally I only took a fancy to the youth on the stage, thinking that he was very clean and could clean the altar for me."
Duke?
When these words came out, many people immediately understood Du Wei's identity!
There was a young Grand Duke in the capital recently, who shone brightly on the day of the coup. At the same time, he was also a powerful genius mage, who did not know this?
At this time, the surrounding people looked at Du Wei with a lot more respect.
The voice in the carriage seemed to laugh, but it was a very calm laugh, then slowly said: "Duke, since you are so insistent, then I can only back down."
After saying that, the other party was obviously about to leave, but Du Wei suddenly shouted: "Your Highness Saintess."
His address was neither fish nor fowl, but the other party was both a Saintess and a Princess, so it was not wrong to call her Your Highness.
"Duke, do you have any other instructions?" The Saintess in the carriage said in a very flat tone.
"Since you want to clean the altar, I can send a few people to you another day, but this youth is also someone I took a fancy to, he is also very useful."
"Oh?" The Saintess had originally thought that she had made the young duke suffer a loss and was somewhat proud of herself, but after hearing this, her curiosity was piqued. She couldn't help but ask, "Your Grace, could it be that you want this young man to be your magic apprentice?"
"No." Du Wei laughed, then deliberately said loudly: "My house just happens to be lacking a servant to empty my toilet."
In my opinion, the person who cleans the altar is only worthy of emptying my toilet!
Everyone understood the meaning of Duwei's words. Many people could not help but want to laugh, but at this time, who would dare?
The Saintess was silent for a long time, then her voice finally revealed a trace of anger: "Let's go!"
Watching the carriage go away, Ruo Lin could not help but whisper: "Young Master, are you a little angry? A thousand gold coins … … "
Du Wei shook his head, his voice was very serious as he lightly said: "A thousand gold coins to make the Saintess suffer in public, I think this business is very good. If I could, I would rather spend a thousand gold coins every day to see this Saintess suffer in front of me every day. It's not like I can't afford it. "
After pausing for a moment, his fox tail was revealed, and he smiled slyly: "Besides, do you really think I want to spend a thousand gold coins? Humph, how could these slaves be worth a thousand gold coins? Just now, even a fool could see that we were competing with each other. Now that my identity is known by this slave trader, in this case, would he dare to sell these slaves to me for a high price of a thousand gold coins? Humph, even if I was willing to pay a thousand gold coins, would he dare to accept it? "
Sure enough, the next thing that happened was not outside of Du Wei's expectations. Trembling with fear, the slave trader sent someone to deliver the sign to Ruo Lin. When Ruo Lin was about to pay, the slave trader expressed in fear and trepidation: "This is a small gift for the Duke. My master said that if I knew that the Duke's residence was short on manpower, I would personally send a batch of the best slaves to the Duke tomorrow!"
Gu Luo saw this from the side and could not help but sigh:
Who said that the Duke was being reckless?
Look! He did not spend a single copper coin, and he made the Saintess suffer in public!
Since his identity was exposed, Du Wei felt that there were thousands of pairs of eyes staring at him. There was no point in continuing to stroll around like this.
Just as he was about to leave with Ruo Lin, Du Wei walked through the slave market. Originally, the "Official Slave Market" was the main purpose of this trip, but at this moment, he did not have the mood to continue strolling around. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a sharp voice coming from above the platform of the Official Slave Market.
"Du Wei! Master Du Wei! Your Excellency the Duke! I beg you, please buy me! Buy me!! "
