Dark Redemption of Elf

"Brother, this mask is so ugly." Ariel pulled the black and white mask on her face dissatisfied. They had already arrived at the underground auction. With Glick and Ravel joining in, he could safely let Lan Keke , Iluli stayed with them, while he and Ariel entered the underground auction first. According to regulations, everyone had to wear a mask.

"Keep your voice down, don't take off your mask." At this time, they were in a VIP seat, a certain distance away from the crowd, and had a view of every corner of the auction.

It was said to be an underground auction, but in fact they were still in an ordinary building on the ground. However, the curtains in both places were closed and magic lights were dotted on both sides, making the scene look a bit gloomy.

"Oh... Got it"

"Well, I will make you a better-looking mask in the future."

"Really!" Ariel said in surprise, her voice almost startled Ayton, and he hurriedly asked her to keep her voice down.

Fortunately, the auction had already started and no one noticed them. A coquettish-looking and scantily clad woman introduced an ‘ancient famous sword’ on the stage.

But in Ayton's opinion, this was just a 'rare' sword, and the hilt had signs of wear, so it was probably stolen goods.

"Brother, what kind of mask do you want?"

"It depends on what you like." Seeing that nothing happened, Ayton also started chatting with Ariel. He also learned a lot about tailoring in the dark cave, and he was the one who made the two backpacks.

"Brother, I remember you once told a story about an ordinary person who was bitten by a mutated spider, and then gained superpowers. From then on, he put on a spider mask and performed heroic acts."

"Ahem" Ayton choked twice, looked at Ariel, imagining how she would look like wearing a Spider-Man mask, and shook his head repeatedly: "No, that mask needs to match the spider tights to look good, and you don't suit it."

"What about the Batman mask?" Ariel blinked and asked.

"Batman's words are not appropriate either." Ayton thought carefully and refused. At this time, the second item was placed on the auction house, fruit wine brewed by forest elves. It is said that forest elves can only drink it during festivals, and it has the effect of lasting beauty.

And there are few rumors about forest elves like this, it is extremely rare.

"The beauty lasts forever!" Upon hearing this word, Ariel's attention instantly shifted from the mask to the auction item. Dark elves have a lifespan of 500 years, but only in the last 100 years do they enter the aging period, and their appearance slowly fades away. But as long as you are a woman, no one cares about your appearance.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. A bottle of fruit wine can last forever, so what's the use of the legendary fountain of life?"

"Oh." The golden light in Ariel's eyes gradually faded, and she could understand this kind of thing once she thought about it.

"It's okay, Ariel will always be the most beautiful in my eyes."

"Really, compared with that Iluli and Lan Keke."

"Both of them combined are not as good-looking as you," Ayton said without hesitation. In fact, they cannot be compared together at all. They can only be said to have their own merits, but he must say this in front of Ariel, otherwise... Ayton cannot imagine the consequences.

"Hehe, of course." Ariel happily leaned on Ayton's arms and looked at the third auction item. A female slave is a human being and has been specially trained. The most basic sense of shame and dignity has long been worn away.

Unlike the dullness of the first two auction items, people in the audience instantly became excited and started bidding. This is the main theme of the underground auction.

After a fierce price competition, the female slave was bought by a fat nobleman for 1000 gold coins. The gorgeous and neat clothes could not hide the ugly and disgusting look on his face.

After that, several human female slaves were auctioned and bought by some human nobles and big businessmen. They did not care about other people's eyes and directly acted on the scene.

Seeing that a nobleman seemed to want to 'demonstrate' on the spot, Ayton quickly held Ariel's eyes. "No viewing allowed"

"What can't you see?" Ariel didn't care, but she still didn't break away and lay obediently on Ayton's lap. Later, a strong male orc slave was auctioned off and bought back by a noble to serve as a servant.

"Are there no forest elves?" Ariel finally couldn't help but said, "Then our work is in vain."

"Wait a minute. The forest elves are said to be God's favorites. Their average appearance is the best among all the races in the mainland. Naturally, they will appear last."

The auction is drawing to a close.

"Next is our grand finale item." The charming auctioneer stretched out the last syllable: "A pure forest elf... girl!"

As she finished speaking, an iron cage containing a forest elf was pushed onto the stage. She looked about 13 or 14 years old, the same age as Iluli. She had short emerald green hair, skin that could be broken by blows, and an emerald-like figure. There was a hint of fear in his eyes, which was pitiful. Although the elf's appearance is indeed outstanding, the crowd below did not react much as usual.

"It seems we came to the right thing this time, Ariel" Ayton whispered. You may have all heard that a few days ago, a group of nobles bought forest elves privately, which aroused the anger of the Elf Kingdom. In order to maintain diplomatic relations, the Yaolan Kingdom arrested a group of nobles and prepared to throw them to them. To put it bluntly, whoever dares to buy will be punished. Just die.

Seeing that the audience was completely silent, the charming woman had obviously expected it: "Don't worry, we will hide the information for our customers, and the matter has been settled, so everyone can rest assured."

"And that forest elf is still a virgin. Trust me, you can use it with confidence."

rest assured? I'll let you go, that's what you said last time, but as a result, you're still staying in the Marquis' Mansion. People in the audience remained silent on the surface, but secretly cursed in their hearts.

The charming woman secretly sighed, but she was not disappointed, because the order given to her by the master behind her was to sell it if she could, and try to win over another nobleman as much as possible. If that didn't work, she would give it to the nobleman who was imprisoned in the Marquis Mansion as a plaything.

"1000 gold coins" a person suddenly said, attracting the attention of the seductive woman, and she felt happy. After operating in the underground auction for so many years, she knew everyone's voice and information clearly.

His name is Rusty Willy. He is about fifty years old. He is a great nobleman in the southern part of the Land of Thorns near the Emerald River. He is also one of the two earls of the Land of Thorns (the other one is still drinking tea at the Marquis Mansion). He is young. Shi was extremely lustful. I heard that he once secretly captured a female forest elf and made her pregnant. However, he did not come to the auction last time for some reason. If he can successfully win over him this time, he will definitely get it. Rewarded by adults.

Ayton frowned, someone actually dared to buy an elf slave under the nose of the special envoy, and then said: "2000 gold coins"

The charming woman was just about to finalize her decision to sell the forest elf to that earl, when there was another bidder, and the voice turned out to be a young man. Although she didn't know him, she couldn't blatantly break the rules of the auction. The highest bidder would win.

The count hesitated for a moment and said again, "2500 gold coins."

"Hiss" Ayton took a deep breath, he couldn't afford more money.

"It's just looking for death." Ariel sat up and said coldly. According to the plan, if she couldn't buy the forest elf, she would have to go to his house at night and 'steal' it.

"2500 gold coins, is there anyone who offers a higher bid? If there is no one, this pure elf will be the property of that adult." After a pause, when no one bid again, the woman instantly became happy, but she was still in her heart. I would rather the earl bought it.

Ayton did not speak again, and his attention was always on the nobleman. The latter seemed not to want to leave yet, and the two of them continued to spend time with him.

.......

"Next is the last auction item, a mutilated treasure map." Because the forest elf was bought, the charming woman sounded very relaxed.

The audience burst into boos. What's the use of a mutilated treasure map? Who knows, this is a real treasure map. Maybe it was scribbled by a little kid, or this so-called treasure has already been excavated.

The host seemed to understand their thoughts and continued, "This treasure map was given to us by a large team of adventurers. It is said that it was dissected from the belly of a large sixth-order monster."

Everyone was noncommittal. This kind of thing that cannot be proved can be said as long as there is a mouth.

"I guess it is very likely that a certain strong man was swallowed alive by this monster, and his belongings were also entered into his stomach. Moreover, according to the identification of our appraisal experts, there is no trace of corrosion on the surface of this treasure map, and it was burned by fire. Roasting or washing will not cause any damage to the surface of this treasure map, and even an ordinary sword can't cut it."

"Then why is it still called an incomplete treasure map?" Someone in the audience finally couldn't help shouting. They felt that this was too ridiculous.

"This is a good question, sir." The charming woman did not get angry at all: "According to our appraisal experts, this treasure map requires at least a fourth-level expert to use a 'rare' weapon that can inject fighting spirit to deal with this treasure map." cause damage"

She couldn't help but emphasize her tone, "I have never seen paper with such strong toughness, so this must be a rare treasure map. If someone discovers the secret, he will definitely be able to soar to the sky and become a peerless master."

"10 gold coins," someone in the audience said, making the woman's eyelids jump. Such a low price was just looking for trouble.

"2000 gold coins"

The young man's voice sounded, making the charming woman look happy. She thought that the young man had been successfully fooled by her, so she quickly said: "Congratulations to this distinguished guest, for offering 2000 gold coins. Is there anyone else who offers a higher price?"

In the end, the 'treasure map' successfully fell into Ayton's hands, and others secretly laughed at him for being so stupid for spending two thousand gold coins to buy a harder piece of paper.

But Ayton didn't think so. He bought this treasure map just so he could follow the noble. As far as he understood, items bought at underground auctions would be exchanged in special rooms, and he had an excuse to follow the noble to find out his identity.

After a while, the count seemed to lose interest and stood up to leave the place.

Ayton and Ariel followed him and came to the next aisle together. They were stopped by an attendant on the way, "Are you two here to pick up items? This way please."

The two had no choice but to give up. Remembering the noble's clothing and body type, they followed the attendant into another small room and received the treasure map.

"What kind of treasure is this? A drop of water." Ariel looked at the water drop shown on the 'treasure map' with confusion. It looked like a tear. It was surrounded by a criss-crossing maze and several dangerous areas marked. But they have no idea where this place is, and what the missing other half is.

"Whatever, let's go out and meet them first." Ayton put the treasure map in his arms and quickly left the building with Ariel.

"Brother, how are you? Are there any of my clansmen inside?" Iluli asked eagerly when she saw the two people coming out.

"There is indeed a member of your tribe, but it was bought by a nobleman at a higher price." Ayton whispered: "We have memorized the size of that nobleman. He will come out soon. Let's avoid it first."

In order to avoid attracting attention, only Lan Keke was following her at this time. Ravel and Glick were on the other side of the building, always observing the movement. Once they found someone with the characteristics of a forest elf, they would immediately join them.

After a while, a slightly fat nobleman with gorgeous clothes walked out, followed by several family guards, followed by a petite figure wearing a cloak, who looked very much like the forest elf that was auctioned.

"Iluli? Are they from your tribe?" Ayton looked at Iluli.

"Yes, I can feel that she is one of my tribesmen, and I seem to know her," Iluli said. The forest elf seemed to be looking at Iluli, and the two eyes met instantly, even though they were separated by two people. Despite the layers of cloak, they still felt each other's presence.

Just for a moment, a guard blocked the line of sight between the two of them. The forest elf seemed to say something, but he was still forced into the carriage.

Iluli couldn't help but stand up. Ayton took her hand and whispered, "Iluli, sit down first."

"But, big brother" Iluli looked at Ayton anxiously, but it was impossible for them to rob people in public. He knew very well that this city was mainly ruled by the Marquis of Thorns, Fnovic, even if Even if you succeed, you won't be able to get out of this city gate.

"Ayton, I know that nobleman," Lan Keke suddenly said, "It seems to be named Rusty Willy. He is a big nobleman in the south of the Land of Thorns. It is said that he was extremely lustful in the past and even captured a forest elf woman. This almost caused a diplomatic conflict."
