Chapter 59: Dwarf (2/2)
Black Hammer frowned at hearing the voice and replied in a cold tone. ”Why so much nonsense? Bid more than me if you want to buy them.”
”Then I won't be polite,” the middle-aged man who looked like a merchant smiled and said. ”Ten thousand.”
”His name is Ofor Irable,” Elora explained. It seemed she knew quite a bit about the market. ”He is the largest dealer of the herbs inside Lower Town.”
”Someone from House Irabel?” Kadyn said as he glanced at the man, who had an evergreen smile on his face. Though Kadyn could tell that this man was more cunning than a fox.
”Yes,” Elora nodded.
”I wonder if Black Hammer would like to increase the bid,” Ofor said. ”If you can increase the bid, I would forfeit.”
”Hmph!” Black Hammer snorted but said nothing.
The slave-dealer saw their confrontation and smiled before announcing. ”Does anyone want to bid higher than Sir Ofor?” he waited but no one replied. ”1...2...3...SOLD!”
”Thanks for letting me win.” Ofor turned towards Black Hammer and said with the sincerest smile on his face.
”Humph!” Black Hammer's eyes turned cold. Though his voice sounded sincere, he could see the mockery in his eyes.
Just as everyone was about to scatter, the slave dealer said. ”I've got an announcement to make.”
Everyone halted and looked at the smiling slave dealer in confusion. The man looked around and said. ”Tomorrow there will be a slave auction in the Upper Town. This auction isn't something that could be compared with this puny auction here. According to my sources, I've heard that there is a dwarf.”
An uproar broke out in the surrounding area. No one had ever guessed that a dwarf is going to be auctioned tomorrow. Dwarves were the legendary existences in the eyes of these people.
”How's that possible?” someone couldn't hold himself and asked. ”There're no dwarves on our continent'
”Yeah, I've also heard that there are no dwarves on the Eozen Continent.”
”I wonder how someone was able to capture one.”
”Furthermore, why would someone auction him in Avibria City? He should have gone to one of the great cities and he would have earned a fortune from this.”
”Dwarves are born artisans and have great knowledge in the way of forging. Any artisan would go crazy to get his hands on a dwarf and their secrets.”
The brother-sister duo looked at each other in shock. Kadyn had never thought that he would be able to hear such shocking information here.
