Chapter 140 Auction Item—Pluto Rayleigh
Chapter 140 Auction Item—Pluto Rayleigh
The adventure journal of a famous explorer!
The appearance of this first auction item did not cause much excitement.
First of all, it was because Montblanc Nolando, an adventurer from the South China Sea four hundred years ago, did not have a very good reputation. Most people's understanding of Montblanc Nolando comes from the widely circulated story of "Nolando the Great Liar".
In this story, Nolando's image can be described as a mess.
This made many people doubt what he recorded - can such a big liar's adventure notes be trusted?
However, Profic had no such concerns. Because he knew that Nolando did not lie. The golden land that disappeared was an empty island above the White Sea that was washed up by the sky current. In addition to being a great adventurer, Nolando himself was also a great botanist.
By studying plants, he saved the Sandia clan who were suffering from "tree fever". He also fought for the Dongdongta tribe in the new world and gained the respect and friendship of these dwarfs.
The adventure notes of such a great man must contain many secrets unknown to ordinary people. What's more, if some valuable plant information can be obtained from it, the value of this notebook will probably be much greater.
"I'll pay 550,000 beli!" An old man dressed as a scholar took the lead in making the bid.
These cultural relics have an irresistible appeal to the scholar, but his bid is also quite limited. After all, being a scholar is not a wealthy profession.
"Nana, remember this person's appearance and contact him after the auction. If he is really a scholar, try to win over him. We need such talents." Profik told Molana while bidding, "Sixty Wanberg!"
After Profik's bid, the crowd fell into silence.
Faced with this somewhat embarrassing scene, the host immediately came out to smooth things over:
"A customer bids 600,000 Beli. Friends who want to continue bidding, please hurry up!"
"Six hundred thousand berries at a time,"
"Six hundred thousand berries twice!"
"Seven hundred thousand berries!" The old man who held up the bid this time was still the old man from before. He gritted his teeth and added another 100,000 berries, obviously spending all his wealth on it.
"Seven hundred and fifty thousand berries!" Profik naturally continued to bid.
This time, no one bid against Profik, and he successfully bought this precious manuscript for 750,000 beli.
Seeing that the dust had settled, the old man who had previously bid sighed, stood up directly, and walked out of the auction house with some helplessness. As a scholar, he came here just for Nolando's manuscript and was not interested in other auction items in the auction house. Since the manuscript is no longer with him, there is no need for him to continue to stay at the venue.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as he walked out of the venue, a few gangsters stopped him.
"Old guy, hand over the money you have, or don't blame us for being rude!"
Seven hundred thousand berries, not much, but still a considerable amount of income. These low-level gang members who are "struggling to survive" in the Shampoo Islands don't care about the old man's status as a scholar. They only know that an old man with cash but no fighting ability is an excellent target for robbery.
Just when the old man was at a loss, Morana, dressed in black, stood in front of the old man: "I heard that 'I am the old man and the old man, the young man is the young man,' you guys, How can you rob an old man?”
……
In the auction house, several more auction items appeared next.
For example: a certain great pirate’s training secret book, the treasure map of the legendary Wu Nan treasure, a section of the trunk of the treasure tree Adam, beautiful shining gems, slaves of different races...
The atmosphere of the auction gradually became lively.
All of these things fetched a higher price than Nolando's logbook, especially the slaves.
However, Profic made no further bids. He's not interested in any of these things.
Looking at the poor slaves on the stage who were being auctioned, Matifa couldn't help but want to ask Profik to bid for them several times, but Profik rejected them all.
"Sister, if we don't clean up the scumbags in Mary Joy, we won't be able to buy all the slaves in Shampoo. Paying money to buy people will only make those slave traders more rampant." If there are valuable slaves, Pu Luo Fike didn't mind bidding for them, but for these relatively ordinary slaves, Profik had no way to help. His money does not come out of thin air and must be spent wisely.
Matifa naturally understood this truth, but she still couldn't bear to watch the miserable situation on the stage, so she simply closed her eyes and plugged her ears to be out of sight and out of mind.
"The twenty-fifth auction item!"
As the host called the number, two staff members in black pulled out a muscular middle-aged man with blond hair and glasses from the backstage. Unlike other slaves, this person looked very indifferent. Although he was being auctioned, he did not have the slightest fear or any resistance at all.
"Although he is just a human, it is not common to see such a strong human slave. After buying it, whether it is used as a bodyguard, a thug, or a coolie, it is an excellent choice! Everyone, hurry up and buy it, you will make money... …”
"The starting price is 20 berries!"
Human slaves are not high-quality products. In terms of strength, they are not as good as fishmen, in terms of beauty, they are not as good as mermaids, and in terms of rarity and specialness, they are far inferior to fur people. Attractive human slaves are usually young and beautiful women, or people with special status and powerful strength. No one is willing to pay a high price for a middle-aged man.
Therefore, although the host tried his best to promote it, the interest of the customers was still not high.
However, Profik was very interested in this "auction item". Because he recognized this human slave.
"30 berries!" Profik bid decisively. As soon as he opened his mouth, it was raised by beli.
Profik's bid aroused Danjuma's curiosity: "Why..."
In order to prevent others from hearing him, Profic whispered: "This is a big shot! The right wrist of 'Pirate King' Roger is Silbarz Rayli, known as 'Hades'."
"How could such a guy become a slave?" Gao Shifu asked in disbelief.
The right arm of the Pirate King, "Pluto" Rayleigh, is so famous that even people in the most remote sea areas have heard of it. Such a big shot should be incompatible with slaves.
"I heard that after the Roger Pirates were disbanded, its members lived in seclusion all over the world. Now it seems that Rayleigh is probably hiding in the Chambord Islands." Profic explained, "It is said that this person is addicted to alcohol. Maybe he sold himself to the population exchange because he was short of money. Anyway, for such a big shot, it is extremely easy to escape."
After listening to Profik's explanation, a few people realized that although Rayleigh was being auctioned, he was calm and composed, and his eyes revealed the aura of a king.
There is no way such a guy can really become a slave.
"What's the point of buying a guy like this?" Star was puzzled.
