Chapter 650 (1/2)
”What's that?” Yorko stared at the illuht ”Is it also so you sell in the exhibition?”
”It has several naht Crystal but we prefer to call it Magic Stone because it's said the stone comes from demons' lair” No 76 explained in a low voice ”'Black Money' once sold the price was around 2,000 to 3,000 gold royals They're expensive and rare, so they won't be sold in every exhibition At least, it's not included in the list of products for sale tonight” She paused for a second and asked, ”Sir, is this your first time to come here?”
”Well sort of” Yorko stroked his nose to conceal his uneasiness If one stone cost that ic stones used for illuold royals This was just such a lavish exhibition!
The guide seemed to perceive Yorko's uneasiness She drew close to him and whispered in his ear like a perfect lover ”That's nothing, Sir Every guest who attends the exhibition for the first tih which 'Black Money' showcases their power”
”You're also one of their means, aren't you?” Yorko had probably not presented hireat nobles had, but he kne to talk to woradually faded aith the soft whisper of the guide, Yorko wrapped his arirl's waist and drew her to his chest
”Not until I get your approval”
”You've got my approval already Well, after the exhibition”
”I'll still be at your service, sir” She gently nodded
Yorko started to slowly like this place
By the tie, he had missed two rounds of the auction The products for sale were apparently not that appealing to the audience, for few people showed interest in them
Just like the exhibitions he had attended with Denise, the first few rounds were nothing but the less savory aspect of the auction The main course usually came at a later phase
Otto reckoned the sale of the witch should not be too close to the end and esti price would be no ht more thrills and stimulation than pure beauties
The audience finally stirred a little bit when the first person up for auction was pushed to the stage
It was a young woman, pretty plain overall except for her fair skin
Yorko noticed the girl, unlike slaves sold in the slave laarments only nobles could afford In other words, she looked exactly like a highborn lady
”What's that about?” Yorko pinched the waist of No 76 ”To dress up a slave as a noble so that you can sell her at a higher price?”
The guide corrected hi as a noble, but a noble slave”
”What's the difference Hold on” Yorko's eyes widened ”What did you say?”
”She's a true noble” No 76 gestured Yorko to tone down his voice ”Not a real heir of a big family”
”Gentlemen, do you see this lady here?” The host announced in a loud voice ”Aphnie Tanfek, the daughter of the Earl of Rubble Woods frodom of Wolfheart Since her father was unfortunately killed in the battle against the church, she's now legally the new Earl of Rubble Woods The Tanfeks is a proo However, compared with their family history, I believe everybody is o This is a good chance to retaliate!
