Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

What's more, she felt that Beth was much more beautiful than the host, with silver hair, blue eyes, fair skin, dignified and elegant manners, and profound knowledge. Her attitude towards others was completely different from her attitude towards herself, giving people a sense of the contrast between her cold exterior and warm interior.

Hearing the admiration in Anten Meiko's heart, Ronia couldn't help but turn her head to look at Beth wearing a mask, touched her chin and nodded in agreement.

Beth noticed Ronia's little action. Seeing that she was looking at her and nodding, she tilted her head in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing." The little princess quickly lowered her head and stopped looking at Beth.

Just as Beth was about to continue asking questions, the first item was pushed onto the stage by another staff member on a cart, and her attention was diverted again.

She had heard about auctions when she was learning about humans, but she never thought that she would one day participate in one.

The cart was two meters high and was covered from top to bottom with a red cloth, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Although Meiko Anten could check the content through the "Moyu Radar", since she was here to attend the auction, knowing the content directly would be like cheating in a game, which would always lack a lot of passion and fun.

"The following is our first item. Our caravan was ambushed while delivering goods. We finally managed to capture the victim. To recoup our losses, we decided to sell it as a slave through auction."

As the girl introduced herself, she grabbed the red cloth and peeled it off seductively. At this moment, Beth clenched her fist on her thigh slightly.

This cart was actually an iron cage, and imprisoned in the cage was a girl with short silver hair and a pair of animal ears. Her arms and calves were covered with fur, and her big furry tail hung limply on the ground.

There was a hollowness in her eyes, and around her neck was the same slave collar that had once bound Beth.

Meiko Anten had never expected that the first item at the Tianshang Association auction would be a young slave girl from the Silver Fox clan.

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 116: My Hometown People

Beth's body shook violently, her pupils shrank slightly and were filled with boundless hatred, her hands clenched into fists, and her teeth were clenched together.

Meiko Ando and Ronya both noticed Beth sitting in the middle, and they each reached out a hand and gently held Beth's hands.

The warm and cool feeling was like a bottle of clear water that extinguished the pain and burning hatred in Beth.

She looked around and noticed the worried looks the two girls cast at her from behind their masks. She shook her head and said softly, "I'm fine."

Then she leaned her head close to Ando Meizi's ear and continued, "Can you help me buy her?"

Her voice was so low that only she and Ando Meiko could hear it amid the surrounding discussions. The latter agreed without thinking.

She used her magic to transmit her voice: "Don't worry, I should still have enough money."

Although it seems that Ando Meiko earns a lot of gold coins every time she completes a mission, and it seems that she needs dozens of gold coins to buy a set of clothes, in fact, the purchasing power of large gold coins is very strong.

In fact, the prices you will see in Soul-Slaying City are nearly three times higher than the market price. This is not only because Soul-Slaying City is located on the border of Lans Country and is threatened by the attack of the demons at any time.

At the same time, it is because the Soul-Shattering Dungeon happened to be opened here, and many adventurers flocked in regardless of the cost. In order to make a fortune, the merchants raised the price to such a high level.

Under normal circumstances, some people would definitely sneer and show disdain, but because the danger level of the Soul-Shattering Dungeon increases layer by layer, the degree of equipment wear and tear becomes extremely severe, and simple repairs are no longer sufficient to maintain its use, so ready-made high-quality equipment has become a necessity.

Therefore, adventurers who venture into the Soul-Shattering Dungeon have no choice but to bite the bullet and buy the equipment or even suits that are sold at high prices by black market traders.

Although they spent a lot of money, the benefits they gained were actually slightly reduced. In fact, the benefits they gained in the Soul-Shattering Dungeon would be even greater. The reason is that this dungeon is so special. It has special monsters that can be resurrected infinitely. Hunting magic cores alone can bring in a considerable amount of income.

If Ando Meiko stayed here for a few months regardless of the time and desperately hunted for magic cores on the sixth or seventh floor underground, she would probably become a super nouveau riche.

That's why after Ando Meiko conquered the underground level of Soulslayer, so many adventurers wanted to get rid of her with red eyes, not only because of the bonus awarded by the emperor and the suspected mythical item in her hand.

Moreover, her actions harmed the interests of many people, shattering the fantasies of adventurers who came from afar to Soul-Slay City and wanted to make a fortune through the Soul-Slay Dungeon.

"Well, the Silver Fox Clan is a lower class of the Demon Clan. They have good magical talents and strong bodies that can withstand all kinds of torture. Moreover, with slave collars on, they won't make any moves to resist. If you are interested, please don't miss it."

"Stop keeping me in suspense! Give me your quote!"

Many people were already shouting, and even more men who liked exotic things had their eyes shining and were swallowing their saliva, rubbing their hands tightly and holding the number plates in preparation for bidding.

This world still has a feudal monarchy, and slave trading is not uncommon here, not to mention that the slaves are from the demonic forces that all human beings are hostile to.

"Since everyone is so anxious, I won't keep you in suspense. The starting price for this authentic, unopened Silver Fox girl is three gold coins."

When everyone heard the offer, they hesitated, because three gold coins was not a high price to buy a demon slave, but the problem was that this slave was an orc from the demon tribe.

Among the demons, orcs are inherently low-level beings, and there is no such thing as rare things are valuable. The starting price of three gold coins does seem a bit like a profiteer.

But what is this place? This is the underground auction house of the Tian Shang Association. Those who can come here are all high-ranking officials, nobles or wealthy nouveau riche.

"Three golds and five silvers!"

"Four gold coins!"

"I'll give you six!"

"Seven!"

Except for the initial bid that only increased by five silver coins, the other people who raised their bids raised the price by one gold coin, and soon pushed the price directly to a high price of two large gold coins.

The orcs are indeed a low-level demon tribe and are not rare, but it is not easy to catch them. They are indeed not worth the price for ordinary people, but they are extremely important collections for some guys with special hobbies.

The bidding lasted for five minutes, and the two large gold coins were sold for five large gold coins.

The people who participated in this auction were not short of money. They spent money far beyond the value just to satisfy their own personal desires.

However, everyone's desires also have corresponding values. When this value reaches their bottom line, no matter how much they want it or how much money they have, they will not continue to compete.

"Five big gold coins once, are there any more people bidding? Five big gold coins a second time, five..."

Just as the hostess raised the hammer to strike, Meiko Anten raised her number plate at the same time: "Ten big gold coins."

This bid immediately shocked all the participants. Perhaps if they added the bid one by one, they would still feel that a little more was not too much and continue to compete, but when it was doubled in an instant, they all began to think of backing out.

"Ten large gold coins sold for the first, second... and third time. Congratulations to bidder number 27 for winning this item."

When An Teng Meizi saw that everything was settled, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Ten large gold coins were not a small amount for her, but it was not something she could not afford.

The price she offered might seem like a brainless nouveau riche act to others.

But don't mention that this was Beth's request. Even if Beth didn't say anything, she would still help save Beth's people. Moreover, she was already prepared to pay a higher price. It was already a profit to close the deal with this amount of money.

Not only Anten Meiko, but also Beth, who saw that she had successfully photographed her people, slowly breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned close to Anten's ear again and whispered in a voice that only they could hear: "Thank you. I will tell you everything when we get to our place."

Melinda was sitting next to her. In order to prevent her from noticing their actions, Anten Meiko nodded calmly and then continued to focus her attention on the auction.

The cart carrying the girl was sent down, and then the second cart was pushed up immediately after, but this time the red cloth was only a small piece, and the area covered was only the size of a plate.

Volume 7: Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 117: Slave Collar

Apart from the first slave transaction, most of the items auctioned at the Tianshang Association's underground auction house are precious luxury goods obtained from foreign countries.

The only thing that caught An Teng Meizi's eye was a special suit made by a master craftsman of the human race. Unfortunately, even though she offered eighty gold coins, there were still people who matched her price, so she gave up the idea of ​​competing.

Although An Teng Meizi has a lot of magic cores from the Soul-Slaying Dungeon that can be used to exchange for a considerable amount of money, she does not want to use these magic cores unless it is absolutely necessary.

Because the magic core is not just liquid capital for her, but a very good research material. It is also a way to conceal what she did in Soul City.

The most fiercely contested items at this auction were a special suit of armor and a quasi-epic weapon. Although An Teng Meizi had competed for both, she was no match for the direct descendants of the nobles.

Soon the last item was auctioned off, and Melinda took Anten Meiko out of the auction hall and returned to the ground floor.

"How do you feel, Ruby?" Melinda asked Anten Meiko how she felt. As a professional businessman, she did not deliberately ask why Anten Meiko spent a lot of money to buy the Silver Fox slave.

Meiko Anten didn't mention the only thing she bought. She smiled and replied, "It's pretty good. There are surprises from time to time. It's a pity that I don't have as much money as others, otherwise I would like to buy one or two more."

"But congratulations on buying the item you wanted. I'll take you to the pickup location shortly. I've already arranged accommodations for you. Just go there and tell me my name."

Melinda smiled professionally, then took out a note from her bosom and handed it to Anten Meiko, who took it and pretended to glance at it.

She raised her eyebrows imperceptibly and said hesitantly, "How can I trouble you with this?"

"You saved the lives of our entire caravan from the eighth-level monster. I feel that the reward I gave you is too little." Melinda waved her hand, hoping that Anten Yazi would accept it.

"And don't worry, this hotel is owned by our headquarters. It's my privilege to book a room in my name. It doesn't cost anything extra."

"In that case, I'll be honored to refuse." After saying this, An Teng Meizi handed the note to Beth, "Wait for me at the door first. I'll be back after I'm done with the handover."

"Good."

Then An Teng Yazi followed Melinda to a room next to the back door of Tian Shang Guild. The window here faced a back alley where few people passed by. The Silver Fox girl that An Teng Yazi photographed was holding an iron rod and staring at the people who came in with bared teeth.

"Just hand it over here. I'll wait for you outside."

"Okay." Meiko Anten looked back at the silver fox girl with a gentle look in her eyes.

The eyes of the Silver Fox girl were filled with anger, hatred, unwillingness and other negative emotions, but because of the slave collar, she could not use magic or commit suicide, and could only wait for her fate to come in this small cage.

"Sir, welcome. The slave handover procedure is rather complicated. We need to change the owner of the slave contract to you, so please be patient."

An Teng Meizi nodded without objection: "No problem."

At this time, another person walked in. From his clothes, Meiko Anten couldn't tell his occupation, but he brought in a lot of different props.

Meiko Anten simply pulled the chair next to her and sat down, waiting quietly and watching the actions of the person in front of her intentionally or unintentionally.

He took out a pen, dipped it in the prepared ink next to him and dotted it on the collar. As a surge of magic power seeped in, the magic pattern on the collar instantly flashed out.

The silver fox girl was completely unable to resist despite being so close to someone. Her movements remained the same as if someone had cast a time-stop magic spell and had not changed at all, but her expression had become extremely ferocious and terrifying.

Anten Meiko's eyes flashed, and the slacking radar that was activated in secret instantly covered the two people in front of her, carefully memorizing all their subtle movements in her mind.

The magical pattern on the slave's collar does not form a formation, but a kind of spiritual word. This spiritual word contains countless silk threads crisscrossing each other, and it is as complicated as a hemp rope made of many ropes entangled with each other.

The man lightly tapped the pen, and one of the threads in the spiritual words was directly erased.

"Guest, please inject your magic power into it." As he said this, the man had already extended the pen in front of Anten Meiko.

Meiko Anten, who had been following all this for a long time, immediately reached out and touched the animal hair brush, injecting a little of her own magic power into it, causing the tip of the pen to emit a faint red light.

The man moved the pen back to its previous position and drew a new line. The complex word became complete again, and the silver fox girl's eyes became empty.

She took a step back and knelt on her knees in front of An Teng Meizi who was sitting beside her in the cage. She called out respectfully in a clear voice, "Master."

Although this is what Meiko Anten heard, she couldn't really hear the language the girl was speaking because of the translation magic, so she continued to wait in silence.

"What the hell is that bastard saying..." The man cursed softly, then stood up and bowed slightly to Anten Meiko. "Sir, the handover is complete. This item now belongs to you."

"Please prepare a more conservative dress for me. I don't want to take her out like this. It would be too obvious." After saying that, An Teng Meizi immediately took out a large gold coin and handed it to the man, "The extra is for you."

As soon as the latter received the big gold coin, he immediately smiled happily and bowed respectfully to An Teng Meizi again. He patted his chest, made a promise, and then turned around to prepare for An Teng Meizi.

The silver fox girl's silver snow fleece was too obvious, and she was only wearing a piece of rag that was so thin that it could only cover the key parts.

If she were to take her out like this, she would definitely become the focus of attention, and Anten Meiko didn't want to do such an embarrassing thing.

When the man came back, An Teng Meizi opened the cage and released the silver fox girl. She tore off the rags on her body with her own hands and put on the dress.

Seeing the silver fox girl's tail and ears perfectly hidden, with almost no flaws except for her silver hair, Anten Meiko nodded with satisfaction.

"First, tell me what your name is."

The Silver Fox girl replied respectfully, "Yes, Master. My name is Ain."

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 118: Where the Stone Ball is

Ando Meiko asked another irrelevant question and then canceled the translation magic. After confirming that Ain was using the language of the demons, she nodded with satisfaction, then led her out of the secret room and met Melinda through the back door.

"Ruby, I'll be busy sorting out the merchandise and won't be around for a while. If you want to buy anything, just use my card. The clerk will give you a discount when they see it."

After that, Melinda handed another card to Ando Meiko, who thanked her and took it. The job was done, so Melinda said goodbye to Ando Meiko and left.

Ando Meiko brought Ain back to the front door of Tianshang Guild, where two girls, one big and one small, were waiting for her outside the door.

Seeing Ain's blank eyes and dull expression, Beth's smile faded a little, and worry appeared between her brows. Seeing this, Ando Meizi comforted her, "She's fine. Let's talk about it when we get back to the residence."

Beth nodded, her eyes calmly shifting away from Ain and looking at Ando Meiko: "Are we going back directly from now on?"

"Well, but before that, I want to confirm something." After saying that, she walked into the Tianshang Guild, caught a clerk and chatted with him in a roundabout way, then took out the fairy tale book she had prepared long ago from her arms.

"Look, this is it. It's just a fairy tale, but I thought if I collected all these stone balls, maybe they could make my wish come true."

Meiko Ando's expressions were changing all the time. Her acting skills were pretty good. When communicating with the store clerk, she was full of the liveliness of a young girl, chattering non-stop about the things she liked.

Meiko Ando was brought in by Melinda and treated so politely. Although her true identity could not be guessed, every clerk and even people like the lobby manager did not dare to neglect her.

"Even though this is a fairy tale, I still feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

"Oh? Really? Where have you seen me before?" Meiko Ando clasped her hands together and looked at the clerk with her bright eyes, her eyes full of anticipation.

The clerk blushed when she saw this, and began to think with a worried look on her face. Ando Meiko pretended to be anxiously waiting, but in fact she didn't have much hope in her heart.

Then the clerk suddenly clapped his hands, as if he had grabbed a rag buried in his memory and pulled it out: "Oh, I remember where I saw it."

After that, she walked out, and Ando Meizi followed closely behind. She stopped at the door and slowly raised her head to point to a place: "Look, this is it."

Ando Meiko looked in the direction she pointed. She was stunned for a moment, and then the magic covered her vision and the magnification of what she could observe continued to increase. She was completely shocked.
