"Welcome, gentlemen and ladies, tonight's auction is about to officially begin. I hope everyone will have a satisfactory harvest." The auctioneer's words were very brief. He bent down and saluted, clapped his hands, and the black knight in the background left.
The first exhibit is delivered.
The items at the auction are naturally much more precious than those sold at stalls outside. They are at least more technologically advanced than the mushroom ring. Even the love potion is a high-end product that can penetrate into the flesh and stay there all year round. Apply a bottle on your toes.
I can even lick your bald skin.
But for Owen, it was just like that. Not to mention being excited, it was troublesome to even look at it more, and he even started to feel a little bored.
Although Count Dekra is a high-ranking nobleman, it does not mean that he does not know how to observe people's emotions. He immediately realized that these auction items could not even attract more attention to Owen, but he decided to participate in this auction.
The meeting was not without reason, so I smiled slightly and waited for the final thing to appear later.
Magical equipment, rare potions, special materials, beautiful slaves regardless of gender, and even titles and land, but it wasn't until the last three auction items appeared that Owen became interested.
First of all, there was an elf, not a half-elf or a wood elf, but a rare high elf. I don’t know where he got it from the secret auction.
No matter where they got it from, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became lively. Many rich women couldn't sit still on the spot and raised signs to shout out the price.
It's not because the rich woman has a conscience and plans to give her husband a benefit, but because this is a male high elf.
Compared with humans, high elves are superior in appearance, smell, and feel. The most important thing is that there is no need to consider the problem of middle-aged people, so they can be used sparingly and passed down from generation to generation.
Of course, there are some rich women who sneer at this. After all, what's the use of good-looking men? Thick, tall, muscular men with lots of meat are the best ones to quench addiction and thirst.
What's interesting is that many rich women bid in front of their men, which makes Owen's openness to the nobles amazing. This is no longer just for everyone, it's simply abnormal.
Count Dekra was not surprised. After all, the marriage of most nobles was for the purpose of marriage, and the purpose of giving birth to offspring was just to complete the task. As for after that, of course, they were allowed to have fun, and no one cared about it at all.
In the eyes of the young noble, these slaves purchased are just living tools, and it is not worth getting angry for tools.
Well, Owen said that the auction didn't make him see much, but the daily life of the nobility opened his eyes. Then he decided not to marry the daughter of the nobility. He would marry anyone who bought toys from home every two days.
, what is the difference between this and drinking, dancing, dating, and claiming to be a good woman.
Although Owen's behavior after traveling through time was no longer a serious person, it did not mean that he was willing to accept that his other half was not serious either. So he shook his head and then looked at the second auction item. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a coffin.
"Here we come." Count Dekra suddenly said, obviously knowing what was in this coffin, and he might even have come here for this purpose.
"The count is interested in this coffin?" Owen asked.
"No, I came here just to meet the famous legendary assassin, the Death Sword Vanessa." Count Dekra said with a smile.
When I heard this name, Irving didn't know where to start complaining.
Since he is an assassin, how can he use a big sword? Is this the legendary violent assassin who kills all witnesses and successfully sneaks into hiding?
Perhaps for the convenience of display, the coffin was not laid flat, but stood up facing the customers, which looked quite scary.
The auctioneer carefully took out the key and inserted it into the secret lock in the coffin. After hearing a click, he quickly stepped back and asked the black knight on the side to come over and lift the lid of the coffin.
The black knight also hesitated before stepping forward, obviously fearful.
The two black knights stepped forward together and opened the heavy coffin lid, revealing the legendary assassin inside.
The auctioneers sitting in the front row had already known about this, so they were eagerly waiting for it. But when they saw what was in the coffin, they were immediately disappointed, and many people even yelled.
No wonder these people were so rude. I thought I had the chance to buy a legendary assassin. Even if there was a risk of losing control, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages. But right now, what was in the coffin was a man who had lost all his limbs and didn’t know how to live or die. An iron rope had been pierced through the wound.
Hanging inside, even the blood accumulated at the bottom of the coffin continued to flow out as the coffin was opened.
Is this a legendary assassin? Then isn’t the cook holding a kitchen knife a legendary warrior?!
"Sure enough, the rumors are true. Vanessa did fall into the hands of her sworn enemy and was sent to the auction to humiliate her." Count Dekra nodded and said, not surprised by the situation in the coffin, and then
After seeing Owen's curious eyes, he explained to him.
Vanessa is indeed a legend, and just like Owen guessed, she likes to use a big sword as a weapon and is extremely powerful in combat. She even had an astonishing record of killing a legendary swordsman head-on.
It's a pity that the tree attracts the wind. As an assassin, he is so arrogant, so it is not surprising that he ended up like this.
Naturally, such an auction item will not have much value. Even a necromancer will not be interested in a legendary assassin with missing limbs, so there is a high chance that the auction will fail.
But there may be surprises. After all, Vanessa's appearance is as famous as her strength. Even if she is so mutilated, she will still attract some perverted nobles. Unfortunately, Owen has also taken a liking to her.
Thanks to Qun Shan and his entourage, Owen really has no shortage of gold and gems, and those nobles cannot compete with him.
In fact, it's mainly because Vanessa doesn't have much value now, otherwise a legendary assassin wouldn't end up in this low-class secret auction, at least it would have to be an imperial capital-level secret auction.
After taking the photo, Owen couldn't wait to pay the money, and then came to the room where the coffin was placed.
The lid of the coffin was not closed, so Owen could directly see his mutilated body, which was only covered by blood-stained blond hair. In addition, it was hung in the coffin by iron ropes, which gave people a strange impulse.
Owen stretched out his hand and touched it. The skin was still elastic. Although the body temperature was low and the heartbeat was extremely slow, the vitality was still there. He suddenly understood.
Even though the opponent looks so miserable right now, in fact, he won't die if he hangs for a few more days. After all, looking at the capital, you can tell that the reserves are abundant and can withstand consumption, and if he really dares to act recklessly, the opponent may not be able to fight to the death.
The simplest way is to crush a tooth and spit it out. With the ability of the legendary assassin, it is enough to penetrate the hardest human skull. As for other methods, he can name at least a dozen of them after being taught by Shinobu, so he has always been vigilant.
