Chapter 254 Slave Auction

\'That way, I can have enough money to pay off my debt and buy some more medicinal herbs to nourish myself.\'

Remembering the debt repayment, Alec gritted his teeth in anger: \'Damn it! If I didn\'t have a contract with that damn doctor, I would have burned him to ashes.\'

In fact, at first Alec wanted to kill the doctor who treated him in the Enchanter Tower\'s medical room, but luckily Medos stopped him.

The contract is not something that can be easily dismissed. There is an energy connection between the two people. If Alec kills the doctor, the contract will explode.

To be more precise... if the doctor died, Alec would also lose half of his life.

That\'s why Alec didn\'t dare to take any risks. He could only wait until the debt was paid before he could kill him.

\'Huh! Wait until then; after he dies, this money will belong to me.\'

Alec thought of a bright future and his perfect plan.

…

In VIP room 1, Lathel felt extremely sleepy after looking at each item being brought up.

Even though this was an auction for slaves and prostitutes, there were still a few items or medicines up for auction.

That\'s why Lathel felt a little bored and sleepy.

"Next item, the manuscript of an ancient sculptor."

Suddenly, the voice of the auctioneer rang out, making Lathel feel a little interested.

You must know that he also has a profession called \'Master Sculptor\'. That\'s why everything related to sculpting interests him.

The auctioneer continued: "Although it is not clear who the owner of this manuscript is, according to expert assessment, this manuscript definitely comes from an ancient master sculptor."

"The starting price is 100,000 gold coins; each price increase cannot be lower than 10,000 gold coins."

Hearing that, Lathel frowned and muttered: "Heh?! Why is the manuscript of an ancient sculptor so cheap?"

Akna wanted to explain, but before she could, Miconia laughed and said: "Hahaha... Duke Lathel, that\'s because you rarely come into contact with auctions like this."

Hearing that, Lathel looked towards Miconia, frowned, and asked: "Ah! What do you mean…"

Miconia continued: "Most of the people who frequent here are nobles, and nobles don\'t need to know how to sculpt."

"Besides, that book hasn\'t been thoroughly examined yet, and it might just be a normal manuscript."

"Therefore, it only has collection value and does not have great use value, so it is normal for the starting price to be very low."

Hearing that, Lathel also understood why the manuscript had a starting price of only 100,000 gold coins.

However, he still wanted the book; if it was valuable, he would use it. If it has no use value, it can be placed in a glass cabinet as a collection.

"The auction begins." The auctioneer tapped on the table and spoke.

The hall was silent, and it seemed like not many people were paying attention to the manuscript.

Seeing that, Lathel touched his hand on the armrest of the chair, and a magic circle appeared in front of him.

"200,000 gold coins."

After he finished speaking, a board placed outside the room also displayed the number he had just said.

The host saw someone offering such a high price and happily said: "Vip room 1, guest number 27 offers 200,000 gold coins. Does anyone offer a higher price?

"250,000 gold coins."

Suddenly, another sign belonging to VIP Room 1 displayed a higher price.

"Wow!" Seeing this, the host happily said: "The other number 28, VIP room 1, bids 250,000 gold coins."

Hearing that, Lathel frowned and glanced at Miconia, his eyes carrying a bit of confusion and discomfort.

"Hahahaha…" Miconia covered her mouth and smiled: "Sorry, I\'m also interested in that tattered book."

He did not answer, but immediately offered a higher price.

The host saw Lathel\'s sign change, laughed again, and said: "Hahahaha... Guest number 27 offered a higher price, 300,000 gold coins."

Miconia laughed contemptuously: \'Huh! Man, are you pretending to be rich to make me interested in you? You are wrong; if I say I am only the second richest, then no one would dare admit that they are number 1.\'

"Guest number 28 offers an even higher price, 500,000 gold coins."

"Wow! The other number, 27, increased the price to 1,000,000 gold coins. It\'s so exciting, those two guests really have extremely clear eyes."

"Wait! Guest number 28 changed the price, 1,500,000 gold coins."

"Guest number 27 also offered a higher price, 2,000,000 gold coins."

Knock!

The auctioneer couldn\'t hide his joy. In fact, he just thought that this book could increase to 500,000 gold coins, which was extremely high.

However, out of nowhere, two idiots appeared, constantly fought over this tattered notebook, and raised the price to 2,000,000 gold coins.

Of course, the higher the price the manuscript is sold for, the higher the commission the host will receive.

"2 million gold coins going once."

"2 million gold coins going twice."

"2 million gold coins for the third time."

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"Congratulations, The manuscript of the ancient master sculptor will belong to guest number 27 in VIP room 1."

Lathel sat in the room, frowning. He knew Miconia intentionally raised the price to trick him into offering a higher price, causing him to spend more money.

However, he did not pay attention to that. He liked that manuscript, and he wanted to have it.

But... he also has limits. If Miconia continued to raise prices, he would give up.

However…

Lathel glanced at Miconia and saw her covering her mouth and smiling triumphantly. In his heart, he was both annoyed and worried: \'This girl looks very stupid, but in business, she is very smart.\'

\'She knows what her limit is, so she knows when to stop at the worried: \'This girl looks very stupid, but in business, she is very smart.\'

right time like that.\'

\'Looks like… Alec will have a business genius to back him up. That way, he won\'t have to work much in his life in the future. He just needs to stretch out his palm, and this girl will give him unlimited gold coins.\'

Lathel felt a little jealous in his heart, however, he knew clearly that a supporting character like him would never have the same luck as the main male character, Alec.

Knock! Knock!

There was a knock on the door, and Akna knew the staff of this place had arrived. She opened the door, received a tray from the staff, and then brought it in front of Lathel.

Looking at the old notebook with countless traces of time on it, Lathel felt a bit satisfied.

"Hahaha… I didn\'t think Duke Lathel would like such items." Miconia covered her mouth and smiled.

Lathel glanced at her, then paid her no more attention. He didn\'t want to talk to her, and he was too lazy to do so.

Although the notebook was very old, it seemed to be well preserved, so Lathel could still turn the pages.

As soon as he saw the first page, Lathel was startled, as he didn\'t understand anything.

"Hahaha… how funny." Miconia smiled disdainfully: "Someone thinks he can read a notebook from ancient times, hahahaha…."

Lathel frowned and silently asked Cauldron: "Oy! Do you… know ancient texts?"

"Of course. However, I cannot help you right now." Cauldron said: "There are too many powerful existences here. Their power is very great, so it will be easy to detect me."

Lathel heard that and smiled: "It\'s okay, I\'m not in a hurry. When we return home, we\'ll slowly study it."

After he finished speaking, he carefully placed the notebook into the system\'s storage space.

Even if this manuscript has no value, to Lathel, it is still valuable as an antique, as he also loves antiques.

Therefore, he plans to create a room displaying items that he feels are meaningful in terms of time, such as antiques.

The auction continued, and after four items were successfully auctioned, finally, the performance that Lathel was looking forward to the most arrived.

"Lady and gentlemen, the auction continues with the auctioning of slaves and prostitutes." The auctioneer smiled as he spoke as this was the most important part of today\'s auction."

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain behind him opened. Behind the curtain were 11 cages, and in each cage were two girls.

However, only Rolen is kept alone in a cage. On her neck and on her legs, she wore a bracelet made of some kind of metal that he did not know.

Most especially, Lathel felt that the necklace Rolen wore was a bit familiar.

At this time, Akna explained: "Young master, the necklace Rolen is wearing is a special necklace for slaves."

"If you try to destroy or remove it, it will immediately explode, killing the slave carrying it."

Hearing that, Lathel took a deep breath and began to worry about Rolen.

"So… if I buy her, how can I remove that necklace?"

Hearing Lathel\'s question, Akna bowed her head and said: "In fact, you can do that, Young Master. However, without the collar, the slave will no longer be loyal to you."

"That means… after you remove Rolen\'s collar, she will regain her freedom, and… she can continue to serve Alec."

Lathel understood what Akna was talking about. However, he has no intention of competing with Alec for Rolen. What he wanted to do was just rescue her.

But... if the male lead Alec appears, he will let Alec do this, and if Alec does not appear, Lathel will save Rolen.

\'Alec… A heroine was captured and sold at auction; I can\'t believe you didn\'t show up to save her.\'
