The nobles and merchants below the stage gradually quieted down upon seeing this, and all looked towards the scale lamp at the same time. The light emitted by the lamp made each of them feel extremely comfortable.
"This lamp... is made of special mermaid scales. After testing, it was found that the light it emits... can eliminate all negative effects." The boy didn't dare to cry out loud, so he could only explain to everyone with sobs.
"Clear negative effects? You mean those magics?" an older woman asked in a low voice, obviously calculating the value of the item.
"Yes...all negative conditions...whether it's curses...magical erosion...or toxins...can quickly disappear under the illumination of this lamp." The young man glanced secretly at the woman with the ring while speaking, his face full of nervousness, fearing that he might make some mistake.
The nobles in the audience, who had been somewhat nonchalant, began to have a gleam in their eyes after hearing these words.
If there is anything they fear the most, it is naturally the fear of death.
After acquiring a great deal of wealth and a superior status, what they fear most is that they will suddenly die on the street one day before they have the chance to enjoy it.
If what the boy said is true, then this item is simply a life-saving artifact.
After all, it was those arrogant wizards who could take their lives with just a curse. If they got this lamp, at least they could sleep more peacefully at night.
"Starting price...10000 gold."
The young man then tremblingly read out the astronomical figure that he had never dared to think of before.
There was a brief silence in the hall. The boy's hands trembled slightly due to nervousness, and his fingers almost pinched into his palms.
Is it because I said something wrong just now? Or is it because my speech was not good enough?
At this moment, he was extremely panicked, cold sweat was already running down his forehead, and he felt as if he would be crushed by the invisible pressure in the next second.
Just when he thought the silence would last until he collapsed, someone in the audience finally spoke.
A slight cough broke the silence, and then low whispers gradually spread.
After a while, the atmosphere became lively again and the nobles seemed very interested in the auction items.
Although 10000 gold is not a small amount, it is almost the tax of a territory for three years or even longer.
But for the girls in the audience, it's just a slight pain in the body, and it's far from the limit of their wallets.
The boy also breathed a sigh of relief, but his fingers were still trembling slightly.
"13000" a lady in a purple silk dress held up a sign
"20000" followed closely, and another wealthy businessman quoted the price indifferently.
"50000." The third bidder was a young woman. She smiled coldly and raised her number plate without any hesitation, believing that she had a sure win.
But the next second, someone raised a sign with a higher price again.
As the bidding continued to rise, the atmosphere in the auction hall seemed to become tense and solemn.
It was not until an unpleasant sound like a broken bellows was heard from the audience that the noisy hall finally fell silent again.
"10."
It was the withered old woman who had just reserved the mermaid's blood. After she quoted this horrifying price, everyone fell silent. After all, they also knew how rich the old woman's financial resources were.
The reason why the old man wanted this lamp was actually to give himself more protection.
Among all the people present, she should be the one who fears death the most.
After all, her ungrateful daughters had long disliked her and were ready to attack her and succeed her at any time.
The woman with the ring stood in the shadows with a sneer on her lips.
It was well worth the money she spent on creating this product; the old man finally fell into the trap.
Of course, there are more than one such items. After so many years of investigation, the ring woman has already secretly understood the needs of almost everyone in the audience.
This annual auction has actually become the transaction that makes her the most money in a year.
"My lord, everything is ready." A servant came behind the woman with the ring and whispered in her ear.
"Hmph, I get it." The woman with the ring snorted and waved her hand to indicate that she would go later.
But the subordinate did not leave, but lowered his voice to a very low whisper, "Sir, you'd better take a look first, we just found..."
The woman with the ring originally had her eyes on the stage, but after hearing those words, her expression suddenly froze, and her pupils even began to tremble slightly.
Then she turned around quickly, walked away from the venue quickly without looking back.
Several nobles in the audience were puzzled by the sudden departure of the woman with the ring, but they did not pay too much attention to it and continued to focus on the special items on the stage.
The atmosphere in the venue gradually heated up with the fall of each item, and the carefully arranged items appeared one after another.
Exquisite handicrafts, rare magic props, each one just hits the private and secret needs and desires of these people.
When the auction was halfway through, the nobles in the audience gradually became tired.
However, everyone still forced themselves to cheer up, because they all knew that the highlight of the auction was coming next - the mermaid auction.
The value of mermaids far exceeds that of any other item just auctioned. Because they are extremely rare, every time they appear, there will be an extremely fierce bidding war. Many people come here specifically to buy these mermaids that are in short supply.
Of course, what they usually buy is only fresh fish that can be cooked.
And this was all done intentionally by the woman with the ring. After all, if a living mermaid was bought, there was a high possibility that information would be extracted from her.
Although the mermaid's tongue was cut off when she was caught ashore, she was still worried that these people would find a way to make the mermaid speak.
While everyone was looking forward to the upcoming products, the ring woman suddenly came to the front of the stage from behind the scenes and stood next to the slave boy.
She gently stroked the boy's trembling head with one hand, with a gentleness that was almost unlike her.
The boy had never seen a woman like this before, and was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe.
The woman with the ring just smiled slightly, slowly took her hand off the boy's head, and spoke to the audience with a hint of mystery.
"Dear guests, before we officially start the mermaid auction, a very special item has just arrived today."
The nobles were whispering in the audience, looking a little impatient, and obviously didn't want the main event to be interrupted.
A fat noble in gorgeous clothes was the first to raise an unhappy question:
"What is more precious than a mermaid?"
The nobles in the audience also echoed that their biggest purpose for coming here was for those mermaids.
However, facing the dissatisfaction and doubts from the audience, the woman with the ring remained calm.
Her eyes narrowed slightly and her gaze swept over the crowd leisurely.
"It's a man."
...
Chapter 178 My Offer is Your Life
"He's just a man, what's so special about him?"
A noble lady sneered, with obvious contempt in her tone.
She has played with so many handsome men.
What's more, at this moment in her house, there are several toys kneeling humbly in the hallway, waiting for her to return, so she is actually not very interested in men.
There were many similar voices echoing from the audience, and the situation was somewhat out of control for a while.
A middle-aged noble sitting in the front row suddenly stood up and said, "5000 gold, I'll buy it! Hurry up and get the mermaid out, we don't have time to waste on this kind of thing!"
You know, 5000 gold is already an extremely high price for a man. Paying money to buy him without meeting him is actually giving him enough face.
But the woman with the ring on the stage smiled and shook her head.
She waved her hand, signaling her subordinates behind her to bring the main character of tonight to the front of the stage.
Several burly waitresses walked out first, and the people they escorted caused the audience to fall into deathly silence. All the nobles focused their attention on the center of the stage.
I saw a silver-haired beauty wearing an extremely gorgeous robe kneeling on the stage.
The silver hair that had not yet dried was spread out behind her, like the silver light flowing in the galaxy, and her flexible and slender figure made the nobles present, who were used to seeing beauties, swallow their saliva.
Although the man's eyes were covered by a blindfold at the moment, it could be seen from the exposed facial contour that he was a stunningly beautiful man.
However, even such a beauty had shackles on her hands and feet, and an extremely rough tongue cudgel in her mouth, forcing her tongue to hang out and ooze water like a dog.
The nobles in the audience felt itchy and their desire was slightly rising.
"1 gold, I want it!"
The noble who had just expressed his disinterest in men spoke up.
"Dad, you already have several at home, and you're still not satisfied!" The woman on the side scolded angrily, and then hurriedly offered a price, "2 gold, give him to me!"
However, someone raised his right hand at the same moment: "5 gold! Plus a manor!"
"..."
The bidding sounds from the audience rose one after another and gradually became more intense.
Xing Feng knelt on the stage, whimpering from time to time. Listening to the bidding from the audience, his body began to tremble slightly.
The woman with the ring stood in front of the counter and shook her head. She sighed as she listened to the prices and coughed lightly a few times.
Although the sound was not loud, it was particularly clear amid the noise, and the bidding from the audience gradually stopped.
At this time, she finally spoke slowly: "Dear guests, please calm down first. I never said I wanted to sell anyone."
"Huh? You brought the person out but you don't want to sell him? Are you deliberately playing tricks on us?"
An irritable nobleman asked angrily, and the people around him echoed him.
What is your purpose in bringing people here but not selling to them, deliberately keeping them in suspense?
The woman with the ring bowed to apologize, but she no longer bowed 90 degrees like she did when she opened the door. She just leaned forward slightly and expressed her apology very deliberately.
"Look at what you said, how dare I do that." As she spoke, she slowly raised her eyes, with a hint of cunning in her eyes.
"Dear guests, what is being auctioned today is not him, but..."
"A chance to spend a great night with this kid..."
"Of course." The woman with the ring paused for a moment, and the smile on her face deepened. "The starting price is 20."
As soon as these words were spoken, the nobles in the audience were stunned, and then the entire venue fell into an uproar.
Spending a night with a man costs 20. Is his stick made of gold or silver? No matter how good-looking he is, he won't cost 20 gold for one night.
The noble who had just questioned was obviously angered by the exorbitant price asked by the woman with the ring. They were rich, but they were not fools. Who could afford 20 for one night?
With so much money, you can buy an island on the sea. If you use it to buy men, you can even gather a group of male servants. Although they may not look as good as the one on the stage, their quality is still very high.
Seeing the emotions of the people below the stage, the woman with the ring did not answer, but walked slowly behind the trembling Xing Feng, gently placed her fingers on the blindfold on his head, and then took it off.
Xing Feng closed his eyes tightly and didn't want to open them, but the woman with the ring whispered in his ear.
"If you don't open your eyes, I'll have someone fuck you right here, right now!"
After hearing this, Xing Feng finally opened his eyes reluctantly and looked at the people below the stage.
When his azure eyes were finally exposed under the light, almost everyone stood up from their seats and stared at Xing Feng on the stage in disbelief.
The holy seal represents masculine qualities. The closer it is to the eyes, the more precious and rare it is.
Now, the holy seal actually appeared directly in the pupil, and in double form. This was a miracle that only happens once in a century.
You must know that in the past hundred years, only the Son of Sword had possessed it.
At that time, all the women who bred children with the Son of the Sword had their offspring inherit extremely pure blood talents and reach the peak of strength. Their families rose rapidly in the following decades and became extremely powerful forces in the world.
At this moment, the nobles in the audience could no longer remain rational and forgot their dissatisfaction with the price.
After all, such a great opportunity is hard to come by, and two hundred thousand is definitely not enough!
"I'll take 20!"
Several nobles in the audience screamed excitedly, as if they couldn't wait to rush onto the stage.
"30 gold! I'm willing to pay 30!" another noble shouted, and she even started to take off her clothes in public like a lunatic, ready to go on stage at any time.
"Don't compete with me! I want it no matter how much money you offer!" The old man who wanted to buy the mermaid's blood just now shouted at the top of his lungs, his old eyes filled with madness.
She was well aware of the fact that she was too old to bear children, and at this moment she was rapidly calculating in her mind how to get her youngest granddaughter to come as soon as possible to seize this godsend opportunity. After all, this was a blessing from God that could purify the family bloodline!
But this time, no one gave in to the old guy, and the situation in the audience seemed to be completely out of control.
All the nobles were crazy about the appearance of Xing Feng, and they bid desperately, fearing that they would lose this opportunity to change the fate of their family.
