The King Chapter 168

  Chapter 168 Soul of Water Moon

   "Miss Isabel, some things can't be said indiscriminately. Just because I have a fiancée and I can't marry you, it is too vicious to try to slander my reputation just because I have a fiancée."

   While speaking, Hudson held Isabel's chin with one hand, full of warning.

   Seeing this scene, Isabel was dumbfounded. Such a shameless throwing away the pot clearly shows that he doesn't intend to admit it.

   "Love breeds hatred", this is to let her bear all the notoriety.

   But this statement is in line with mainstream thinking. On one side is a well-matched aristocratic fiancée, and on the other side is a beautiful singer, which one to choose is self-evident.

   Deny?

  The Holy See wants to silence her, but this seemingly lecherous guy in front of him may not necessarily want her to leave alive.

   Didn't directly attack, probably out of reputation considerations. Aristocrats can be passionate, but nobles cannot be ruthless.

  Even the "lover" around him can be killed at will, not only will it make the followers feel insecure, but even the Holliser family will doubt whether this marriage is correct.

  People are blindly obedient, and many things cannot be avoided. Hudson and Isabel have been in contact so many times, and everyone has long believed that there is a lover relationship between them.

   "Sorry, Your Excellency, Viscount. My mind is a little confused, can you let me go first. You can easily make me stupid!"

  Isabel said bravely.

  Knowing that Hudson is acting, she can only cooperate. Her intuition told her that whether she could escape unscathed depended on the next conversation.

   "Miss Isabel, what you said is insincere. You are obviously lying in my arms, how can you beat me back?

   Now I need an explanation, an explanation that can make up for my damaged reputation. If my fiancée finds out, she will be upset. "

   While speaking, Hudson's hands became more and more aggressive. Tell Isabel with practical actions that if he continues to flirt, he will not be polite.

  The nobles will only make judgments based on their own integrity. A beautiful woman came to the door several times, and if Hudson said he didn't do anything.

  I'm afraid what people think is definitely not that "Master Hudson" has a high moral character, but to suspect whether he is not healthy.

  This kind of loss cannot be eaten for free, and if you can't wash yourself off, then you can only make true rumors and enjoy a good fortune first.

  Isabel, who is used to all kinds of routines and knows men very well, has already secretly complained at this moment.

   This guy in front of him is really too sensible. Mingming's eyes are full of desire for her, but he still doesn't forget to take the initiative, as if he wants to play with her in his hands.

   "You are all acting in front of you?"

   Isabel asked in a trembling voice.

"Ha ha…"

   "Miss Isabel, Bingxue is really smart, and found the problem so quickly.

  However, today's loopholes are indeed too obvious. The guards let you in without any hindrance, and if you think about it for a while, you know there is a problem.

  Now the people from the mysterious organization have left with their things, and I have also received the traded items. Everyone is getting what they need.

  The only hidden danger is you.

  Don't be afraid, I am a person who loves fragrance and loves jade, and I still can't do it with a delicate beauty in my arms.

   Just for your safety, you will not be able to leave for a long time to come.

  I know that Miss Isabel is strong, and she definitely doesn't want to be idle. Why don't you show some value and let me see..."

  Hearing this explanation, Isabel rolled her beautiful eyes, leaned directly against Hudson, and whispered in his ear: "I'm already like this, what else do you want?

  I have limited knowledge about the mysterious organization. Tell you all, and there won't be anything substantial.

  Talent show, I'm afraid that before the performance is over, some people will not be able to bear the beast. Neither will other people! "

  This is the truth. What the diva group seems to learn is talent, but in fact it is a means to deal with men.

  For example, now, Hudson is a bit overwhelmed by the **** scene.

   "After spending so long in a mysterious organization, I should learn something. For example: How to collect intelligence and train intelligence personnel?

  Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't. Take out your means of serving others, my lord, I..."

   Halfway through speaking, Isabel's tears fell watery, and she lay on Hudson's neck and cried non-stop.

  Professional acting skills let Hudson understand that the woman in front of him is not so easy to conquer.

   It's easy to embrace a beautiful woman by taking advantage of the void. It is not so difficult to want her to work hard. Being abandoned by a mysterious organization made Isabel wary of the outside world.

   After all, he came out of that kind of place, and he is used to the scene of exchanging his body for survival resources. Now he would rather be taken advantage of by Hudson than get involved in new disturbances.

   Hudson had already expected this scene. If he could be subdued easily, he would wonder if it was an undercover agent sent by a mysterious organization.

  The adverse effects have already been caused, and the only thing we can do now is to follow the trend and reduce the effects as much as possible.

  If the outside world thinks it is, then it is good. As long as there is no new big news, a mere affair will be quickly forgotten.

   If Isabel's ability is not needed, then keep it as a vase to show his master Hudson's charm.

  Talk about feelings, that is to bring shame on yourself. For a woman to be able to thrive in the Diva Group, her heart is already dead.

  The only trouble is that the fiancée needs to explain, but this problem is also easy to handle. As an aristocratic young lady, it is definitely not uncommon to see this kind of thing, and her inner ability to bear it will not be too bad.

   Gossip with the same diva is better than getting involved with other noble ladies. No matter how beautiful a diva is, the threshold of status cannot be crossed.

  The opening of the auction disintegrated the eclectic atmosphere in the room. Looking at the lively melon-eating bears, he was lost in thought at the moment.

  In the world of bears, there is no such scene. When you meet a female bear you like, just go up to mate and it's over.

  The scene in front of him left Bear Stearns at a loss. With Xiong Sheng's experience, he can't understand the relationship between the two at all.

  Perhaps in order to attract more people to participate, the war horses were not sold in a package, but were auctioned in groups of one hundred horses.

   This made the big bosses who secretly agreed to divide the horses very upset. After the dismantling, the little nobles also had the capital to bid.

   Maybe it will be a little difficult for a family to buy a hundred war horses, but when a few relatives and friends get together, it will not be a problem in an instant.

  As more people participate, the price will naturally go up. After tentatively quoting a price of 1,500 gold coins, Hudson became a spectator.

  After the price of the first group of war horses exceeded 2,000 gold coins, the number of people participating in the auction suddenly decreased a lot. In the end, it was sold at a sky-high price of 2,800 gold coins.

  Hudson's face gradually turned ugly, this price exceeded the market price. The cost-effectiveness of buying a war horse at such a high price is really too low.

  Although he made a fortune from the mysterious organization, it still couldn't change the fact that he was poor. Instead of taking out a lot of gold coins to snap up war horses, it is better to go back and train infantry.

  Watching group after group of war horses being looted, Hudson knew that the previous agreement was void.

   Compared with the people in the box, the little nobles below are the majority. Because the demand is small, it can afford a higher premium.

  If a family purchases ten and eight war horses, even if the premium is 50%, it will only increase one hundred and eighty gold coins.

   But Hudson can't do it. If there is a shortage of thousands of horses, if all the horses are purchased at a premium, the excess budget will be an astronomical figure.

   Not only did Hudson not make a move, almost all the nobles in the box did not participate in the competition.

  The war horses fell into the hands of the small nobles of the counties, which also enhanced everyone's survivability on the battlefield. There is no need to compete with younger brothers to be a big brother.

  The main reason is that the price is too expensive, and the strong financial resources are slowly accumulated by the ancestors, and the prodigal family is not allowed to toss.

  After the auction of the war horse, the atmosphere of the venue was also pushed to a climax. The sky-high transaction figures kept stimulating Hudson's nerves.

   No wonder these businessmen like to hold auctions. If it was sold outside, without so many potential customers competing for it, these war horses would definitely not be able to sell at such a high price.

  If you build an auction house, you can earn money from the handling fee alone...

  Suddenly, Hudson discovered that this profitable business had nothing to do with him.

   The reason why so many people attended the auction is because this is Beida City. As the capital of the Southeast Province, it has the strongest purchasing power in the province.

   Put it in the corner of the mountain, who is full and wants to go to the backcountry to trade?

   "The next auction item is our finale today, a magical wand—the soul of the water moon!

   It is said that it was created by the number one alchemist in the mainland, Master Kempey.

   There is an eighth-level magic core inlaid on it, and it is also equipped with an energy replenishment device. As long as the magic power in the magic core is not exhausted all at once, it can be replenished with magic spar.

  When releasing water magic, it can reduce the consumption of magic power by 30%, and increase the original power by 20%, except for forbidden spells!

  The minimum starting price is 8,000 gold coins, and each increase should not be less than 500 gold coins. Bidding starts now. "

  The auctioneer's words instantly detonated the audience. A magic wand that reduces the consumption of magic power by 30% and increases its power by 20% is rare to see on weekdays.

  Whoever has such a treasure in their hands will keep it for their own people. Even if it is not used now, there will always be someone who will use it in future generations.

   It was most likely because of the war that it ended up in the auction. A certain nobleman who treasured this object couldn't afford it financially, so he could only reluctantly part with it.

   "Ten thousand gold coins!"

  Hudson raised his card without hesitation.

  As a magician, it is really unreasonable not to participate in the competition when encountering such a high-grade magic wand.

  Although it is a bit tasteless to Hudson. But it is still very good to take out as a gift.

  His fiancée is a water magician. Although it is used by a junior magician, it is pure waste. Who made Hudson feel wronged?

   What's more, even if this kind of gift is given out, it will still be brought back in the future. The meat is in the pot after all.

   "Twelve thousand gold coins!"

   "Thirteen thousand gold coins!"

  The price went up slowly, and soon broke through the 20,000 mark, but it still didn't stop.

   "20,500 gold coins!"

   "Twenty-five thousand gold coins!"

   Raising the card again, the price was increased by 4,500 gold coins at one time, which was already a low price in Hudson's heart.

   To spend so much money, just for the Pomeranians to smile. Deep down in his heart, he couldn't help secretly complaining that he was crazy.

   It's a pity that it's not just Hudson who is crazy. The family with the water magician is the real madness.

   "Thirty-five thousand gold coins!"

  As soon as this number came out, countless people on the field gasped. A one-time price increase of 10,000 gold coins is clearly inevitable.

   "The distinguished guest in the third box is offering 35,000 gold coins, is there a higher price?

   This is the work of Master Kempey. Not only the power of the magic wand itself is valuable, but also the production method of the wand is of high research and collection value. "

  The auctioneer tried hard to encourage.

  Unfortunately, what everyone values ​​now is the practical value. As for researching the collection value, it is completely dispensable for a magic wand at this price.

   "Thirty-five thousand gold coins once!"

  The hammer of the auctioneer sounded, and Hudson had become a spectator. If there is a water magician in his family, maybe he will fight hard, let's forget it now!

   "Thirty-six thousand gold coins!"

   "The distinguished guest in the second box, the price is 36,000 gold coins, and there are even higher..."

   "Forty thousand gold coins!"

  The battle became more and more bloody. Watching the nobles in the box increase their prices wildly, Hudson suspected that his offer was not gold coins, but copper coins.

   It rushed all the way up, and finally sold at a sky-high price of 83,000 gold coins. Seeing Hudson shouted: incredible!

   After calming down, Hudson quickly accepted the reality. The price of magic weapons has never been lower.

   This "Soul of Water Moon" magic wand can reduce the consumption of magic power by 30% and increase the output of magic power by 20%.

  Water-type magister takes this thing to the battlefield, and it is not a dream to fight two against one. If you play a sneak attack, you might be able to stun the enemy all at once.

  It is equivalent to adding the combat power of an extra magister out of thin air, and it can still be passed on. Is 83,000 gold coins still expensive?

  The main reason is that there are not many water system magisters in the southeastern province, otherwise this battle will probably be even more cruel.

  If it is brought to the imperial capital for auction, it is possible to rush up to 100,000 gold coins. For some veteran aristocrats who have accumulated a lot of money, maybe gold coins are really just a number.

  After the climax, everyone's enthusiasm for the next auction dropped a lot. Several items in a row failed to sell for a good price.

  Hudson also took the opportunity to buy two excellent elf bows. As the famous "Bow Knight", it is really unreasonable not to prepare a few good bows.

   The number of elf bows that flowed out was not many, but it was not too small. It's not a magic weapon, and it doesn't have a magic power bonus. Everyone's enthusiasm for fighting for it is not high, and Hudson is cheaper.

   "Now the second finale item of the auction is rightly these two beautiful elf ladies.

   There are not many pure-blood moon elves in the entire continent. Take it out, it will definitely save face.

  Originally, the employer wanted to split the auction, but the two elf ladies were unwilling to separate.

  The employer is a great knight, and he is unwilling to do such a difficult thing. So this pair of fairy sisters put them up for auction together.

  The starting price is 5,000 gold coins, and each increase should not be less than 300 gold coins. The auction is now open. "

  After hearing what the auctioneer said, Hudson almost sprayed Isabel with a mouthful of water. Slave traders can also be related to chivalry.

   I don't know where this auctioneer is the best from the Dalton family, but he is so shameless.

  Of course, a thick skin is also a necessary quality for hosting an auction.

   Regardless of the quality of the auction item, it must be blown out in order to be able to sell for a good price.

   "Five thousand three hundred gold coins!"

   "Five thousand six hundred gold coins!"

   "Six thousand gold coins!"

  Watching a crowd of boxes constantly vying for cards, Hudson directly watched the excitement. The pair of elves and beauties on the stage were indeed beautiful, but this was not enough to make him join the bidding.

   Vaguely, Hudson noticed something was wrong. The soul of the water moon appeared in the southeastern province, and it may be a collection brought out by the local nobles.

  The outside world is easy to sell at a high price, and the outside world is also very dangerous. Ordinary nobles simply don't have the ability to bring home large amounts of gold coins.

   But the flowers of the elf sisters are different, and they can't be sold at a good price in the southeastern province. The fighting on the front line is so fierce, even if you have money in your pocket, you can't squander it casually.

  Don't look at the active participation of the nobles, just look at the speed of the price increase. Everyone has no intention of winning.

  Even if you buy it, the probability of taking it home to enjoy yourself is not high. Either take it out as a gift, or take it out to make a deal with others.

  Under this background, it is simply impossible to sell at a good price.

  A shrewd slave trader cannot fail to see this. But it still has to be sold in the southeast province. Isn't this a problem with money?
