Seeing two guys who were out of place in the surroundings rushing straight into the cabin, the man guarding the right side of the passage finally couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.
However, it was not known whether it was because of the expensive and high-profile clothes on Zuo Si's body, or because the fully armed appearance of the soldiers created enough deterrence, in any case, he did not choose to draw his weapon.
"Tell him who I am!"
Zuo Si waved his hand with a deliberately arrogant look.
The soldier immediately understood what he meant. He stepped forward and coughed forcefully, then said loudly, "The one standing in front of you is Master Hardman! The only heir to the Hardman family's wealth and title!"
"Do you know who I am now?" Zuo Si asked with his chin slightly raised.
"ha?"
The man who blocked the way was instantly overwhelmed by the drama performed by the two of them, and quickly turned his gaze to his companion.
It seems to be asking, "How do we handle this situation?"
The latter also shook his head in confusion.
Seeing that this pair didn't seem very smart, Zuo Si suppressed his smile, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
With a crisp sound, the soldier immediately put down the heavy leather bag filled with gold coins.
moment!
A large amount of golden light that could blind a person's eyes leaked out from the mouth of the bag.
The duo who were still in a daze in the previous second, had their eyes shining and kept swallowing saliva in the next second, and even their breathing became rapid.
You should know that this bag contains 5,000 gold coins.
Just hearing the rustling sound will make many people's heart beat faster and their faces turn red.
Zuo Si said nothing, and directly grabbed a dozen coins from the bag and threw them at the other party's feet. Then he pretended to be impatient and urged: "I know what you want. Take these rewards and leave quickly! I still have to participate in the auction tonight, and I don't have time to waste time with you here."
I have to say, his performance really scared the two people who were blocking his way.
After all, such a large bag of gold coins cannot be fake! After hesitating for a long time, the two finally chose to pick up the gold coins that fell on the ground, and respectfully let Zuo Si and the soldiers into the cabin with a smile on their faces.
There was no check of the token, let alone verification of the identity.
When you arrive at the bottom of the cabin, you can see more than 40 guests gathered there, sitting on chairs and patiently waiting for the auction to begin.
Since the auction was an illegal one held on a boat, the environment could not be described as good, and could even be described as terrible.
Although the organizers lit some expensive incense to try to dispel the odor, one could still feel an indescribable weirdness when breathing.
In addition, no drinks, food or other services are provided.
But for some reason, these participants expressed strong anticipation and excitement.
Just as Zuo Si found a chair at the back and sat down, the door leading to the upper deck suddenly slammed shut.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man in gray scaly leather armor came up, bowed with an awkward gesture, raised his hands high, smiled and shouted, "Dear distinguished guests!
You are all welcome to attend the auction tonight.
My name is Warren Paris, the captain of this ship.
I guarantee with my reputation that the products I sell later will not disappoint you."
"Damn it! Stop talking nonsense! Get started!"
A fat man weighing more than 300 pounds was waving his arms vigorously, almost crushing the chair.
"That's right! We don't want to listen to your long speech! We are here to sell products!" Another person also echoed loudly.
Seeing the scene getting agitated, the man who called himself Warren Paris did not get angry. He immediately smiled and said to comfort the crowd, "Don't worry! The auction will start soon! First, let's take out the first item for today's auction.
A terrifying female drow from the Underdark! You know, I took a lot of risks to get her."
Her hands and feet were tightly bound with metal shackles, and there was even a hollow wooden ball of unknown purpose stuffed in her mouth.
Except for a few key parts covered by small pieces of cloth, the rest of his body was almost naked.
Since dark elves are a typical matriarchal society, women are usually taller than men.
At the same time, their bodies are not as thin as other elves on the surface, but rather very fleshy and strong.
Moreover, when she was dragged up, this female drow kept cursing incoherently, struggling violently, her eyes filled with anger, unwillingness and strong murderous intent.
But the more this happened, the more excited the men in the audience became.
Some of them could no longer hold back and stood up from their chairs, their eyes revealing a hungry gleam as if they wanted to devour the female drow alive.
Warren Paris undoubtedly noticed the reactions of the "buyers" and immediately raised his hand and announced: "Female drow slave from the Underdark! The starting price is 1,000 gold coins! Each increase in price must not be less than 100! Bidding begins now!"
"1200!"
"1500!"
“2000!”
“2400!”
“3000!”
…
As the prices kept rising, the cabin was suddenly filled with the smell of hormones.
Obviously, the reason why these "old perverts" are willing to pay such a high price is entirely because they "simply" want to "in-depth" study the differences in physiological structure between female drow elves and women of other races such as humans, surface elves, and half-elves.
After all, compared to the number of other surface slaves, the dark elves living in the Underdark are definitely "scarce and valuable."
In addition, the lifespan of elves is hundreds of years, several times that of humans, so there is basically no need to worry too much about aging and they can be "used" repeatedly.
All in all, it’s no surprise that men are willing to pay a high price for this.
However, Zuo Si was obviously not interested in this at all.
Because his body has not yet entered the second stage of development.
Physiologically, they do not have the ability to secrete the corresponding hormones.
So no matter how beautiful and charming a woman is, she cannot influence his brain and thinking.
Impotent men are so strong and invulnerable!
At this moment, Zuo Si suddenly understood why there were so many talented wizards who transformed themselves into liches at a young age.
It's not that they are stupid!
Rather, they were tired of the fact that the human body was easily affected by various hormones and physiological desires, and was unable to concentrate on studying magic for a long time.
Every once in a while, you need to use the "Pleasure Golem" or summon a succubus to meet your physiological needs.
He simply abandoned his human body and achieved eternal life as an absolutely calm and rational undead.
From this perspective, the young wizard's transformation into a lich might just be the magic version of "women only affect the speed at which I draw my sword."
Just as Zuo Si was daydreaming, the auction price had soared to 6,500 gold coins.
With this price, one could buy about 30 to 40 young and beautiful female (anti-harmonious) slaves and more than 100 strong male (anti-harmonious) slaves who could do heavy physical labor in the slave market.
