Chapter 203: Young Human-Wolf Women
Human slaves?
Tens of thousands of demon bidders couldn't help but wonder, Do human slaves even have the right to be auctioned in this kind of major auction? Everybody has human slaves, what’s so special about these?
"Please don't be hasty. You will understand after I explain. These human slaves were born to vassal families. However, the Demonic God Transformation they awoke is low-level, only at the first or second order, and it cannot grow further. Therefore, they were not recognized as vassals. Normally, such beings would be killed, as they don't deserve to live. But due to their uniqueness, they were preserved.
"Specifically, the bloodline of these eighteen slaves originates from our Crimson Fox race, and they are all females."
While speaking, she grabbed the black cloth with her right hand and gave it a gentle shake. The fabric immediately slipped off, revealing the large metal cage underneath.
Inside the cage, several human girls were curled up and huddled together. Their faces were filled with terror, yet they were incredibly beautiful. Their minimal clothing did little to cover their fair skin and slender figures. When the black cloth was lifted, they simultaneously let out cries of shock, trembling as they crowded together.
As he witnessed this scene where humans were auctioned off as commodities, Tang San's fists clenched instantly. The fate of these human girls was easy to imagine if they ended up bought by demons.
Zhang Haoxuan's voice transmission immediately rang in his ear, "Don't act rashly."
The Crimson Fox girl, Yuan Yinxin, said with a sly smile, “I believe everyone now understands their value. Though they are naturally not considered members of our clan, they still have some measure of our Crimson Fox blood. This inheritance makes them more beautiful! In addition, they are all around sixteen years old, the prime of a human girl's youth. Whoever buys them as slaves or concubines would make an excellent investment. I'm sure you can tell that at first glance.”
The eighteen human female slaves with Crimson Fox lineage instantly heated the atmosphere in the auction hall. Although there wasn't loud shouting like before, the buzz of discussions clearly showed that she was right—the interest was there.
Each girl was beautiful in face and figure, and the Crimson Fox bloodline, faint though it was, promised even more beauty in their future. Such female humans, unable to attain the status of vassals and seen as rare and almost forbidden delights, were considered top-tier slaves by the demon race. Many demons enjoyed collecting such female slaves, which perfectly explained why these lowly mixed-blood creatures had been brought to the auction.
Yuan Yinxin continued, "Everyone seems eager now, so I won’t hold it off anymore. Let’s start the auction! If you take a look at the light beam scale, you can see the current price of the items!"
While speaking, Yuan Yinxin walked over to a cart, at the front of which was a round-shaped piece of ore.
"The auction begins!"
Zhang Haoxuan was stunned momentarily, then nodded vigorously, "Do what you wish to do."
Tang San reached his hand into the metal sleeve before him.
By now, the auction price had been raised to thirty naturae coins. Yes, not even a minute had passed and it was already more than double the market price. With that, however, the bidding also slowed down. It was several seconds before the light beam jumped up another notch.
Surprisingly, the light beam didn’t stop there, but instead jumped up another four notches.
Indeed—with no hesitation, Tang San had just pressed the button five times, increasing the bid by five naturae coins in one go.
A whole thirty-five naturae coins to purchase a few human slaves. This was a sky-high price.
"Thirty-five coins once, thirty-five coins twice, sold! Congratulations to the lucky bidder! After the auction ends, please bring your number plate to pay and collect your purchase~"
Yuan Yinxin clapped her hands, confirming the final transaction was complete.
Tang San's gaze fell on the Crimson Fox Clan girls, his eyes twinkling as if he was contemplating something.
In any case, he was now the proud owner of no fewer than eighteen female human slaves. Since they were the first auction item, the price was not all that high, but they had still sold for more than twice the market price, which was a good start for the auction considering that the original estimate was only twenty-five naturae coins.
And this was just the opening appetizer of today's auction, mainly to stir the blood of the male demons.
The auction continued, and the second item turned out to be a custom suit of armor created by a master blacksmith from Kali City. This master blacksmith could only make ten sets of armor each year. The materials would be provided by the customer, but the armor would be made to fit them specifically, so it was well worth it. Typically, one would have to wait at least ten years to have such armor forged, but what they were bidding for in this auction was basically a queue slot that allowed the winner to request the armor right away.
"Do demons also use weapons? That's rare!" Tang San said.
Zhang Haoxuan nodded and said, "Some demons do use weapons. Ordinary weapons are of little use to them, as the demons skilled in combat consider their bodies the best weapons—and rightfully so. However, weapons and equipment created by such master blacksmiths are made from very high-end materials and bring the user great power, so they are sought after even by high-level demons. They generally come with up to three types of item effects.”
