64 Princes Diana (1/2)
With the first offer finally revealed, everyone reacted with excitement and anticipation. Elric, on the other hand, was dumbstruck at the sudden shift of the situation. It wasn't that long when they captured him for being an intruder, but now, these people are betting on his left eye!
”I bet 12 golden pearls for his right eye!”
”Don't spew crap, I can afford him with 20 golden pearls!”
”Shut up peasants! I'll take 50 for that eye and another 50 for the other eye!”
”huek!~”
This greedy merfolks, they are even fighting just for Elric's body parts.
As it appears, golden pearls are like a sort of currency in the Wate Realm. Unlike in the fire elemental realm where every fire elementals spent their time devouring each other like savage creatures, the Water Elemental beings are like nobles on a royal court. They act with pride and elegance while keeping their savage intention in their smiles which is in one way or another, the same with the natures of the fire elementals.
The water realm revolves around the trading of golden pearls which is produced by rare golden clams. Each golden clams can produce 1 or 2 golden pearls every year and can is an essential material in creating various foods and components for powerfull enhancing elixer. Despite its shiny metallic sheen, the golden pearl is soft and delicious just like a regular-sized grape. As such, it is no mystery that every one of the noble merfolks currently in his royal courtyard owned their farms of golden clams.
It is one of the most precious commodities in the water realm, especially for the noble merfolks, as it helps in improving their overall quality. If eaten raw, it gives tremendous temporary strength and defense boost that allows them to become twice as stronger as they are. The more golden pearl they ate, the power they become as its effects stacks with each golden pearl they consume.
Of course, there is a drawback. The more golden pearl they eat, the slower and heavier they become. This is due to the heavy elements that are accumulated as the golden pearl grew inside the clam. Victims of overeating the golden pearls would greatly slowdown in their movements and traces of excess rocks would form on their body like unwanted craggy shells.
”100 golden pearls for the right eye! Going once!” being a bored lord, Aghus took delight in his authority not just as the lord of the water elemental realm but as the auction host as well. With his people crazily betting to get hold even for a small part from this human, Aghus could not help but smile in satisfaction.
You lay our kinds in your so-called market and you humans with pay for us as well. Now, how does it feel being sold like a fish?
With, a victorious smile, he continued...
”Going twice! Anyone?... ” Aghus scanned the facing and he could see the greed in their eyes shone in anticipation. Perhaps, their fish folks are reserving their money for the best parts. Knowing this, he was about to end the bet when suddenly, a loud voice from a mermaid resounded across the room.
