Son of the Olden Days

Chapter 530: Main City Auction (8)

The auction house was quiet again, and people would rather just chat and wait, and no one would leave. On the one hand, it is because the auction is not over yet, on the other hand, because it uses food as a bargaining chip and it is suspended. No one has played this way in previous auctions.

Even the many small vendors who sell cat meat and dried fruit have done a lot better. Although the auction itself also provides drinks and snacks, it is not affordable for everyone. After all, not everyone who enters the auction floor is here to buy things, and there is never a shortage of people watching the excitement.

Speaking of cat meat, it is also a feature of this era. When I first lived in the monastery, there were all kinds of eggs and various insects. When the group of Sol orphans could not eat enough, they almost caught what to eat. After all living alone in the world, if you don't take care of yourself, no one will care about you.

Later, he gradually improved his survivability, and Thor once wondered why people would rather eat cat meat but seldom eat dog meat. Almost all remote villages and towns on this continent have the custom of eating cat meat, and it has been followed for many years.

As a wild chef, Sol naturally knows that dog meat must taste better than cat meat. After all, cat meat pantothenic acid, although there are many unique cooking methods in the folk, the sourness of cat meat still cannot be effectively removed, but it is nothing for people who are used to it.

After leaving the monastery, Sol also deliberately learned about the phenomenon of eating cat meat, and the truth behind it made people a little dumbfounded.

Survival in this era has always been difficult. Compared with cats and dogs, people think that dogs can look after the house and also take care of the flock. They are also considered to be meaty when they are fattened by famine. Cats are somewhat useless. Apart from catching mice and flying over the walls, they can only make noise.

The point is that almost all rodents are rare meats on poor people's tables. After being caught by cats, I still eat a fart.

When Thor thought about the cats, cats and dogs, the bidders in the southern border were not in a good mood. If the returning potion falls into the hands of a large family in the southern border, after all, everyone is eating in the same area, and in the end, it will be a bit thin.

But it's not the same in the hands of the northern border. Although the disputes between the northern and southern borders are not as fierce as they were in the past, there are even cooperation between the two borders in many parts. But when it comes to real interests, the former opposition will inevitably come to mind.

In the unlikely event that the North Realm really came up with a ninth rank with this potion, others would come over when you were not in a group at the eighth rank, and they would really bully you if they said to bully you. So in the final analysis, the bottle of unknown origin that Thor threw out may really affect the situation between the two realms.

Therefore, the big figures in the southern border will inevitably send people to connect with each other, and everyone can do it, but they can't fall in the northern border. An ordinary auction has suddenly risen to a strategic height. If Saul knew that he would have laughed at the night owl, because it meant that the auction price would rise.

When the black robes filled with tea and wine returned to the battlefield after Wenqing's bottom line, the pace of bidding instantly accelerated a lot. The same reason is that there is as much food as there is, and it will never be made out of nothing, so the last thing to fight is to store food or to say their own confidence.

In the final analysis, the southern boundary has some advantages in terms of Qi, after all, this place is also considered to be its own ground. But the people in the North had arrived in a hurry, and it was vague to estimate how much food they could mobilize in their hands. Even if they immediately sent someone back to implement the estimate, it would be too late.

As a result, the auction price continued to be pushed up, and the speed was not too slow. In the end, there were still three contenders at the time of the 85th car.

"A hundred cars!" At this moment, one of the black-robed men suddenly uttered, and everyone in the audience was choked upon hearing the offer. This is undoubtedly a big deal, even if the bidders know that this may be a kind of deterrence, they have to admit that the deterrence of others is very effective.

The remaining two contenders fell silent in an instant, and it is not difficult to guess their unwilling faces hidden under the black robes.

"Damn it! I'm the Lumbite family, are you sure you want to grab it? Who are you?" a black robe asked angrily.

Lumbit? That was the family of Pallad, the chief elder of the Dark Council, and the crowd in the auction room instantly became a little commotion.

Although the auctions depend on financial resources, there are people who dare to confront the chief elder on the ground of the South Territory, which still shocked everyone. But the most puzzling thing is that there are people who can be richer than the chief elder, which arouses everyone's strong curiosity.

Everyone is well aware that if this is a coin auction, it is not impossible for a rich businessman who has been committed to trade for many years to suddenly jump out and pretend to be an invisible rich man. But the particularity of this transaction is that the bargaining chip used in the bidding is food.

How much food is for a hundred wagons? Although everyone does not have a specific concept, they can imagine a lot. In today's situation, does a certain family really hold so much food? Those who think deeply know that this can only be food for one family.

Because if it is not the financial resources of a separate family, you have to find someone to borrow or make it together. Even if Sol is tolerant for two days to raise money for you, but since you are in the invisible opposite of the chief elder, you would have been willing to borrow from you. Maybe he stopped borrowing suddenly.

Nobody has anything to say about fair competition at the auction, but it's different outside the auction. Whoever borrows food from you is equivalent to standing opposite the chief elder. Even if the elder doesn't say anything, I earn you some favor, but the elder silently remembers it in his heart, which is obviously not worth it.

Just when everyone thought the black-robed man who shouted out a hundred carriages of food was going to regress, the black-robed man suddenly spoke unexpectedly.

"Sorry friend, I'm just following orders, business should be business." The black robe man's tone was a bit neither humble nor overbearing.

"Okay! You are fine!" The tone of the deflated black-robed man was a little trembling, and it was a bit of bullying to carry out the chief elder's name. The key is that he hasn't scared the opponent back, I don't know if he hasn't bought the medicine. Will you be scolded if you go back without authorization?

Everyone on the scene was also a little shocked. For many years, I haven't seen anyone hard-top the chief elder. This auction really didn't come in vain.

Saul didn't think so in his heart. He suspected that the two black-robed men who were in dispute were sent by the chief elder. The purpose of biting each other was to muddy the water, making people think that the medicine did not finally fall into the hands of the chief elder. It's just that Sol has no evidence.

Some people at the scene may have thought of this, but like Sol, if the conjecture is not verified, it will always be a conjecture.

"Since no one raises the price anymore, it seems that the medicine has finally found a buyer, and one hundred cars is just a whole number. Then, my friend, when are you going to pay and give it to another location." Sol announced the ownership of the medicine on the stage. , Asked about the payment method.

"Just tomorrow, my friend, bring your potion, and we will decide the location after the auction ends." The black robe man quickly replied.

"Okay, then I hope the two parties will cooperate happily for the first time." Sol also responded to the black robe man.

Everyone at the scene thought that Saul would let the other party report the family behind them, and they all waited eagerly, but they didn't.

Since the payment is made locally, Sol actually doesn't care about who made the deal, anyway, the goal has been achieved, as long as you don't squander the bill.

The other party's answer has actually revealed something, and it must be a certain family in the southern border that will choose to trade locally. And it can be paid tomorrow. To be honest, if a family wants to take out these food independently without borrowing, Saul is not convinced.

Borrowing must be borrowed, but the key is that the other party has the certainty of borrowing, and relying on the connections and energy in this, no accident must be one of the three elders. Coupled with the vague judgment before, Thor is at least more than half sure that he is the chief elder.

There are also low-ranking people who will definitely not spend huge sums of money to buy such a promotion guarantee, only the eighth rank will be so urgent.

The scope is constantly eliminated and narrowed, and even if it is covered up, there are still many traces. The chief elder should be the chief elder, Saul still doesn't care, even if he once stood on the opposite side, but business is business, and returning to medicine does not guarantee promotion.

Eating a bunch of demons in a hurry, and then failing to fall asleep, use the medicine to save his life. In the end, nothing happens. Obviously, it is possible, and the possibility is not small. Even if the opponent really succeeded in being promoted to the ninth rank, that was the opponent's ability, and Saul had nothing to say.

The auction ended here... Oh, no, the auction is still going on. It should be said that Sol's performance has come to an end.

Standing on the stage, he said some scenes, and then comfortably preached the city of freedom to everyone in the audience. Saul waved his hand to the young lady on the stage contentedly, and flew back to his private room in the form of a bat group, leaving a chic back to miss the young lady.

After Sol left the auction table, the auction process continued to get back on track. Sol's episode took up most of the afternoon at the auction, but no one among the onlookers said anything, and even everyone still faintly felt that it was still unfinished.

After seeing the wonderful bidding that went up and down, and then looking back at the half-dead small commodities on the stands, everyone always felt a little bit passionate. Sol didn't understand the people's thoughts. In fact, after returning to his private room, he suddenly became busy.

At first, some large and small families in the southern border ran over to visit with some unrealistic gifts. Sol turned his head and raised his eyebrows at Faith, meaning that he was afraid that others would see Faith being mixed with himself and would not affect Faith, and Faith shrugged and said that he didn't care at all.

Although Thor was once the enemy of the Southern Territory, for these visiting profit-seekers, stance is something that only the big men need to consider. What everyone really cares about is whether or not you are profitable and whether there is value in making friends with you.

Although Thor's good things have been shot, what if this guy brought back more good things from the treasure chest in the secret realm, but didn't show them one by one on the stage? Even if you don't get any benefits, you don't have to lose anything if you pull the friendship, right?

Sol's excuse is still similar to when he was on stage. It is nothing more than to promote how beautiful the City of Freedom is. If you don't go there, you will live for nothing. It may be unrealistic to attract others to settle in the City of Freedom, but it must be attracted. A few businessmen are also good.

After receiving two batches of unfamiliar visitors casually, to see if there were others coming, and thinking about how the next auction would last for more than two days, Sol was a bit dull in an instant. Hastily pushed out the old goblin who was keen on this way, and let him come forward to deal with it.
