Chapter 87 Entrusted by others
The animal skin bag in the middle of Dongye Central Square is very large. I don’t know how many animal skins were sewn together to make it.
Different from other fully covered animal skin bags, this one only has a high roof. Below the roof is a three-layer stone platform, about three meters wide, surrounded by a circle of stone steps that are higher than the other. There is a person-high distance between the topmost stone step and the top of the animal skin bag, and the enclosed stone steps are divided into four by horizontal and vertical aisles.
In this way, the auction venue can accommodate a large number of orcs, their vision is not blocked, and the ventilation is good! Ji Liang grabbed the middle seat in the third row. He stretched out his beast form on the stone steps, and the seats of a dozen orcs were firmly occupied.
As soon as Si Shuo arrived, he was caught by his tail and pulled over. He also changed into a human form, chuckled, hugged her and asked: "Are you having fun?"
Although he was occupying a seat, Si Shuo would put a portion of whatever he ate into the space, so he never stopped eating.
The males who were also occupying the position were growling with hunger, but he took advantage of the cover of the animal skin bag to take out various foods and ate them slowly.
Snacks, many of them are very tempting, and they are hot. In the animal skin bag where the wind is not fast, they are like naughty cats, flirting with this and teasing that, making the greedy people's stomach growl even more happily! Tsk, so the choice of females is very important. Some females are fickle and don't know how to feel sorry for males, and just ask for more.
As time goes by, such a relationship will fade sooner or later, and the male's passionate heart will gradually cool down.
Si Shuo hummed, took out the paper, and whispered his plan in his ear: "Let's go and take a look at the situation first. We don't know the location, size, and age of the manor and the store.
Zhuangzi must have farmed and raised poultry and livestock, opened a shop and restaurant, and sold all kinds of delicacies..."
Ji Liang was most interested in these, “Sure, if there is a chance I can buy more shops and fields.
But, Xiao Shuo Shuo, I think you shouldn't have too high expectations for the farm and the shop.
If the city lord is willing to give away the manor and store that he acquired with so much difficulty in Guangshou City, they must not be very good, and there may even be something fishy going on. "
Si Shuo took out the two deeds recognized by all the families in the Central Continent and authenticated as authentic by Master Xu and Ji Liang, and pursed his lips, "No matter how bad the situation is, we can't be left without a place to stay, right?"
"It shouldn't be that serious. Anyway, we have enough crystal stones. Guangshou City is so big, is there really no place for us to stand?" Ji Liang was open-minded. "At worst, we can go to the border town to make a name for ourselves!"
The orcs arrived one after another. Although it was night, there were orcs with fire powers controlling fireballs to provide lighting everywhere in the animal hide bag.
There were many fireballs and the temperature was controlled. The entire auction hall was as bright as day, with almost no shadows. It was comparable to the shadowless lamps used on the operating tables that Si Shuo often visited in his previous life! She hadn't thought about her previous life for a long time, and couldn't help but pursed her lips and snuggled into Ji Liang's arms again.
Ji Liang chuckled and kissed her cheek. "Xiao Shuo Shuo, buy whatever you like later. You don't have to save it for us. Crystals are earned to be spent."
Si Shuo chuckled in response, nuzzling into his arms, his smile growing wider as he listened to his slightly excited hissing.
Not long after, the red-haired ape orc Xie Shi came up to the stage with a smile and poured his spiritual power into his voice so that all the orcs in the auction could hear it clearly.
"Welcome all the distinguished females and males who have come from afar to our auction at Dongye Zhongfang!"
All the orcs clapped excitedly and it took a long time for them to stop.
Xie Shi smiled and briefly explained the rules of the auction, then had the first ten items to be auctioned brought up. He explained each one and the orcs sitting on the stone steps bid for them.
There are rare and beautiful animal skins, exquisite jewelry, high-quality seeds, and effective elixirs, but Si Shuo is not very interested in these.
However, at the end of the auction, there were even listings for female beast husbands, food recipes, and deeds to fields, shops, and houses in various beast cities!
The orcs were so excited that their faces turned red and their necks became thick, and they shouted loudly.
Zhile took out a piece of animal skin, which was a map of the Central Continent that he had bought from other orcs. He translated the animal characters on it into phonetic notation, and burned them with his lightning-powered nails, stroke by stroke.
Si Shuo came over to take a look. Every time Xie Shi read the name of a beast city, they would look for the corresponding location on the map.
The land being auctioned only had a general location, and they hadn't been there to check it out, so they had no idea of the specifics! Although they didn't have the title deed to Guangshou City, they could still fight for the land in the surrounding cities if the situation was right.
But how do they know the situation of the land?
When they heard about the title deed of a farm with about 500 acres of land, only two beast cities away from Guangshou City and close to a water source, they were more or less excited, especially since many beast people held up signs and excitedly shouted out prices with red faces.
But at this moment, a squirrel beastman came over with a hunched back, waved his hand to set up a protective shield, looked at Si Shuo and said respectfully: "Female Si Shuo, I was entrusted by someone to solve your doubts.
Although this piece of land sounds good, it is a place where no grass grows. The soil is barren and not suitable for planting and breeding. Moreover, the orcs who stay there have a bad temper.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
If you want to buy land, you can go to various beast cities in the Central Continent..."
After his introduction, everyone understood that the land being auctioned today was basically not even suitable for building houses. It could be said that those lands were undeveloped, not very safe, and far away from the Beast City. After being divided up by the big families and tribes, they were sold in pieces to the foolish orcs who ran to the Central Continent without knowing the situation.
Gong You sneered: "The Central Continent registered and produced land deeds for land that cannot be used at all, and used them to deceive crystal stones! Those who know the situation are gloating over others taking the bait, and even instigating and driving up the price, creating the illusion that the land is in good condition and is being fought over by others?"
The squirrel orc bent his waist and whispered, "Yes, some of them are hired by our auction to buy crystal stones."
Si Shuo understood, isn’t it just a proxy?
She couldn't help but look at the stage. She had seen Xie Shi, Xiao Shisi's uncle, but she knew that the squirrel beastman was referring to Xiao Shisi when he said he was entrusted by someone!
Although they were in the third row, each row of orcs was close together and densely packed. At a glance, she saw hair of different colors everywhere, which made people dizzy.
Si Shuo's eyes moved slightly, leaving the squirrel orc to explain to Ji Liang, Gong You and the others, while she slipped to Xu Chi's side, gave him a look, and the male immediately snapped his fingers and set up a protective shield.
Si Shuo... the finger snapping joke is not going to work, right? "Xu Chi, let's go out for a walk. When everyone isn't paying attention, you can be invisible and bring me in! I always feel that Xiao Shisi is weird..."
