The Eyeless Man
The Magus' teasing gaze scared the little mermaid so much that she began to swim around in the cramped water tank. Her panicked expression only made her look more vulnerable, which made the crowd even more excited.
Angor simply watched on. The tragedy of mermaids lay in their beauty, but so did their beauty. Mortal ferries sailed across the sea, while mermaids used their beauty and gentle singing to seduce sailors, which eventually led to the sinking of their ships. From a macro point of view, no one was right or wrong.
In the end, the mermaid was sold for 320 magic crystals.
Immediately after, the black cloth of the second iron cage was also lifted. Inside was also a slave, but it was a dwarf covered in crystal scales.
"Crystal People from Grand Plane. They're born as craftsmen. They're the best helpers in building buildings and underground fortresses," Twilight explained in a casual tone.
A humanoid from another world? No wonder I feel like it's being rejected by the world.
Angor decided to buy it if it wasn't too expensive. Then he could use it as an excuse to ask how to prevent the crystal people from being rejected by the world's consciousness.
In his mind, he even praised himself for his quick wit. However, the cruel reality slapped him hard in the face. In the end, the crystal people were sold for 1,500 magic crystals. Angor only had 600 magic crystals left after buying the Blackgold Nightmare's Horn. He could only weep silently in his mind.
One after another, the black cloths were lifted, revealing otherworldly beauties and local slaves. However, all otherworldly creatures were sold for at least 1,000 magic crystals. Angor couldn't even find a way to bid.
He had heard people say that they could earn dozens of magic crystals by selling illegal otherworldly creatures to the adepts. He always thought otherworldly creatures were cheap, but reality was far from ideal.
What Angor didn't know was that all the otherworldly creatures in Twilight Auction were carefully selected. They all had talents, and they entered the wizarding world through legal channels. The Supreme Cult couldn't interfere with this, so it was reasonable for them to be expensive.
Soon, it was the last three items of the auction.
Generally speaking, the last three items of the Twilight Auction were the most precious. But this time, it was a little strange. In the previous big auctions, the final three items were all real objects. This time, there were actually two iron cages left. In other words, there were still two slaves and an unknown item in the final three items?
What kind of slave could be used as the last item? While the crowd was discussing, the black cloth covering the third last item was lifted up.
Angor raised an eyebrow. Another beautiful woman, but this time, it was a blonde woman with a pair of pure white wings.
The woman's face was pure and holy, just like what Jon described as an angel. However, it was clear that she was not an angel. Even if she had the face of an angel and the holy temperament of an angel, her eyes could not deceive anyone. Her eyes were filled with bone-deep hatred.
Almost all the slaves in the iron cage had hatred in their eyes, but this one was different. The target of her hatred did not seem to be anyone present. Furthermore, her treatment was different from the other beautiful slaves. She was dressed neatly and was not even chained up. She just sat quietly in the iron cage with her wide wings wrapped around her.
Angor also sensed mana ripples coming from her.
This was a supernatural being of the humanoid race.
Twilight pointed at the woman in the cage. "Her name is Gabriel."
Angor noticed that many wizards were whispering to each other as if they were discussing something.
"Lady Twilight, you're talking about Gabriel? Which Gabriel is it? "
Twilight said, "There is no doubt that she is the one you think she is, Gabriel Fodor Ysandre. The current saintess of the Parmigi Winged Clan. "
The saintess of a clan?! The saintess of the Parmigi Winged Clan, who had a close relationship with the Subhumans?
Everyone was shocked.
The Winged Clan's territory was the sky. However, one of their clansmen was persecuted by the Karabits and was forced to move to the underground world. After nearly a thousand years of reproduction, the ancestors of the Feathermen tribe had a very close relationship with the underground people. Later, this tribe of Feathermen settled on a floating island north of the Parmigi Plateau and called themselves the Parmigi Feathermen tribe.
"Lady Twilight, I don't think it's a good idea to sell the saintess of the Parmigi Winged Clan as a slave," said a Subhuman wizard who was born and raised in the underground world.
The other wizards were already looking at Gabriel with lustful eyes, but they still nodded in agreement for the sake of their dignity.
Gabriel smirked as she looked at the shameless behavior of the wizards below. She nodded to Twilight and closed her eyes.
Twilight sighed inwardly. "I'm sure all of you know who Gabriel is. She's the daughter of the Holy Feather, and we don't dare to sell her. She's willing to sell herself. Her only condition is to avenge her and kill the Lord of Night, Moodick. "
Twilight continued, "As long as you can avenge her, she'll sign a contract and surrender herself to the Lord of Night. You can do whatever you want to her."
Sariye the Holy Feather, the former saintess of the Parmigi Winged Clan, was also a formal wizard and Gabriel's teacher.
Unfortunately, she was killed by her husband, Moodick, three years ago. Moodick only admitted that he had killed Sariye. So far, there was no other news.
Twilight didn't say anything about why Gabriel would rather surrender herself to the Lord of Night than kill Moodick. She just looked at the other wizards. "There's no reserve price for this item. Anyone who's willing to accept the task can sign a contract with Gabriel."
Following Twilight's words, the discussion grew louder. However, no one was willing to accept the offer. Moodick, the Lord of Night, was famous in Sleepless City. No one dared to offend him.
Twilight glanced at Box 19. If that person was willing to accept the task, perhaps Gabriel would have a chance at revenge.
Five minutes later, no one said a word.
Box 19 didn't say a word either. Twilight sighed and announced that the item was not going to be sold.
Gabriel didn't sit in the cage and wait to be pushed to the backstage. Instead, she opened the cage and bowed to Twilight. There was a trace of desperation and determination on her face. She flew down the stage and left the hall in front of everyone.
After Gabriel left, the hall fell into silence. Lydia sighed. "I hope the power of despair can give her the courage to go mad. She doesn't want to be a dependent woman. Men are always unreliable. "
…
After Gabriel left, there were only two items left on the stage.
One of them was a slave in a cage.
When the last black cloth of the cage was lifted, everyone frowned.
It was a strange … person?
He was tall, with short gray hair, dark skin, a tall nose, and pale lips. He was wearing the uniform of a waiter, and his green bow-tie was particularly eye-catching.
Most of the descriptions were normal. However, there was one thing that made everyone frown.
He had no eyes.
He wasn't blind. His eyes were just bare skin. It couldn't be said that it was completely bald. At the very least, someone had used a paintbrush to draw a watery eye like a Barbie doll where the eyeless man's eyes should be. It was both cute and strange.
"What the hell is that thing? It's not rejected by the world's consciousness. It doesn't look like an otherworldly creature. "
"Is it the Eyeless Clan? Are there Eyeless Clans in the wizarding world? Why haven't I heard of them before? "
"What kind of talent does he have? He's going to be the finale of the auction? "
Angor frowned and rubbed his temples while the others were still trying to figure out what was going on.
"What's wrong, Angor?"
Angor hesitated. "I think I've seen this slave somewhere before. He looks familiar … "
"Familiar? Really? " Dave craned his neck to take a better look, but he couldn't find anything familiar no matter how hard he tried.
Did he see it in the Nightmare Realm? That didn't sound right.
Toby, who was nestled in his inner pocket, suddenly moved. Earlier, Toby was noisy because of the music box and fell asleep under Angor's coaxing.
Seeing Toby awake, Angor no longer paid any attention to the auctioned slaves. Instead, he chuckled. "Two more items to go. You woke up just in time."
Toby murmured lazily. Angor grinned when he heard what Toby was trying to say. After this nap, Toby's emotions had completely stabilized, and he even knew how to retort.
Meanwhile, Twilight began to introduce the eyeless man in the cage.
"As you all know, there are two holy places for gourmet wizards in the southern wizarding region. One is Felicia's Butterfly Tavern, and the other is Greya's Barbie's Restaurant."
Twilight's voice echoed across the hall, which surprised Angor.
"If you read the latest issue of Expedition into Endless Planes, Greya got into a fight with Granny Shikaku in Haunt Plane. Later, both of them were dragged into the Nightmare Realm together with 'Sprout', an expedition wizard. So far, Greya is dead, and her Barbie's Restaurant has fallen apart. "
Cold sweat dripped down Angor's forehead. He finally remembered who that man was.
"All of his employees are gourmet wizards. Apart from the ones who escaped to Candy House, the rest all went to different places. This is a former waiter of Barbie's Restaurant, captured by a wizard by accident. I'm sure you all know how valuable a gourmet wizard is. He's not a wizard yet, but his dishes are as good as alchemy potions. So, let's start the bidding. The starting price is 10,000 crystals, and each increment must be at least 5,000 crystals! "
Images flashed through his mind. Back then, he followed Mara and the others to Barbie's Restaurant for a meal. On their way, they met a lot of strange workers, such as Tom Weasel who loved to dance ballet, the ghost cleaner who talked nonsense, the sloppy and greasy Supervisor Neo, and … the eyeless waiter who hopped around stiffly!
Inside the cage was the eyeless man Angor saw earlier.
