Team villains except me

Chapter 248 Lucky Man

As the auction began, Lacey looked at Carone's map and poked at Carone's center area with his fingertips.

All the nobles want this place. Only the central area of ​​Carone is prosperous, the transportation is convenient, and the buildings are not so dilapidated.

She and Gemma Wright will try to take pictures here - if unfortunately they are snatched by other nobles, then they will push in from the outermost area of ​​​​Carone.

Roland said he didn't care if the industry here in Carone was profitable, so he volunteered to photograph all of Carone's border areas.

Gemma Wright, an astrologer who chose locations with special magnetic fields, did a divination before the auction - and her divination told her those areas were more likely to be bought.

The auction will begin soon.

As a water magician, Lacey is very sensitive to the flow of water vapor in the air. She noticed that there was something different about the auction house.

“Dear guests, the auction for the rights to use Carone is about to begin.

But this time it will be a little different than before. Our new reform plan is regional in nature, meaning that different regions treat civilians differently.

As partners, you do not have the power to change the way civilians live. I hope everyone knows this.

You need to filter according to the play style of each area, and I hope you can find the area you like. "

The transformed atavistic host had a formulaic smile on his face. He ignored the comments and protests of the nobles in the audience and clapped his hands.

The scarlet curtain was pulled aside, and there was a sudden silence.

On the auction floor are ten iron cages.

There are many people in the cage.

They were panicking, not knowing why they were brought here, and desperately calling for help.

Cries and calls for help filled the entire auction, and Lacey looked at the field with an ominous premonition.

Before the scene calmed down, spikes suddenly crossed the iron cage on the far left. There was no living, intact person in that iron cage.

Blood splattered, the call for help was stopped, and the nobles in the audience stared blankly.

After the suffocating silence, screams came one after another.

Some of the nobles in the audience vomited, and people in other cages were frantically trying to escape from the cages. Some of them were beating the cages, while some had accepted the reality and sat in the cages with empty eyes.

Lacey was retching.

She had no idea those people in Carone would do this - how dare they? How could they do this?

Gemma Wright wasn't much better, her face was pale and her whole body was shaking.

Roland's face turned cold, but he stared at the movements of the transformed Zuko host.

The changes in the cage were controlled by the host, and he saw the host press something in his hand.

"What kind of auction is this! Where is your master! Get him out! What is this going on!"

The first person to stand up was actually the Lulitya noble who mocked Albersig and Mehdi.

His face turned pale, not daring to look at the blood on the field.

"If you find it unacceptable, you can leave at any time. I also said that this is to show the 'play' of different areas in Carone. Only when you see it with your own eyes can you use it based on these characteristics, right?"

The host of Zuko said this with a smile and pressed the control button in his hand again.

A raging fire broke out in the second cage. The burning smell was not pleasant, and many nobles left the place directly.

Lacey couldn't hold it in any longer.

She immediately put out the fire and walked closer to the Zuko host step by step.

The host was laughing, with a sense of enjoyment and confusion. He looked at the severed limbs on the field for a while, and then looked at the unbearable expressions of the nobles.

He is a pervert.

Lacey wrapped water magic around his neck.

"You really want to die that much?"

The atavistic host let out a low gasp.

"There is no need for you to be angry with me. My life is cheap, and it doesn't matter if you take it away. But this auction will not stop because of my death. Even if you save these people on the stage, the auction will not end. The next group of people will be found to continue the demonstration.

You have to understand that the more people who leave, the greater the possibility of being able to buy the area you like. You can’t guarantee that the adults present will find it intolerable——"

The perverted host laughed loudly.

"Don't you want to do this business? If you want to do it, you have to endure it. In the end, you may get what you want at the best price. Don't you look forward to this?"

Lacey looked at him in disbelief.

"——Hey, why don't you start the next one? If you don't want to buy it, just leave. Don't delay us. We have other things to deal with."

Someone off the court shouted at Lacey, asking Lacey not to stop the display on the court.

Lacey looked at the indifferent faces in the audience, and she felt that Andre was right. She couldn't stand this kind of business, she felt it was dirty.

The people in the cages on the field looked at her expectantly, knelt down to her, and shouted to her.

In the distance, Roland shook his head slightly at her.

Lacey gritted her teeth and let go of the atavistic perverted host, and slowly walked back to her seat.

Sophie looked at her and suddenly asked.

"Do we have to do it their way?"

Lacey was stunned.

"if not?"

Sophie lowered her eyes, her waist was straight, and her sitting posture was elegant and ladylike.

"I haven't thought about it yet. But they shouldn't think that all the nobles who come to the auction are fledgling young heirs who are well protected by their families."

As soon as Sophie finished speaking, the Zuko host pressed the control button again.

The fire ignited, but he climbed out of the iron cage and chased the Zuko host.

The atavistic host shouted wildly.

"Who is it! Who is it!"

Sophie looked away and looked at the Carone map in her hand, letting the atavistic host be swallowed up by the flames.

In the end, the flames were extinguished by a water magician present. The Zuko host looked around in confusion. He didn't know who did it or who saved him.

He gritted his teeth and pressed the control button in his hand, but whatever appeared in the iron cage would eventually fall on him.

There were many magicians among the nobles present. They stay here, but that doesn't mean they accept this approach, and now this is their counterattack.

At the end of all demonstrations, the atavistic host collapsed on the ground unable to move, and the people in the cage were safe and sound.

No one steps up to take charge. Roland stood up, walked slowly to the atavistic host, and took out the key from him.

When he was about to open the iron cage, someone stood up and told him to mind his own business.

The man was from mehndi and was sitting in the front row, not with other nobles from the mehndi academy.

Roland pretended not to hear, he released all the people in the cages, and sang a requiem for the people who died in the first cage.

During this process, the mehndi noble who told him to mind his own business was beaten up by two men from Lulitya.

No one stopped. The nobles of the Mehndi Academy watched in silence, and occasionally said, "The beating was gentle."

Lacey looked nervously at Roland on the field, feeling that it was time for the organizer behind the auction to show up——

"Dear guest, you ruined our display and now you are disqualified from the auction."

Another modified atavism.

He was no different from the atavistic Zuko lying on the ground.

Roland didn't react at all. He even nodded gently and returned the key to the host who was lying on the ground unable to move.

The newly modified Zuko took out the roster and asked Roland's name politely.

"Roland Alambert."

The new host found his name, but he paused, then quickly leaned over to apologize.

"It turns out that you are a distinguished guest from Alan Bell. Of course you will not be disqualified from the auction. Please return to your seat. We will start the auction now..."

Roland looked at Zuko who was respectful to him and asked another question thoughtfully.

"Is it okay if I let those people go?"

"Of course it's okay! It's an honor for those people to be saved by you, and they are the lucky ones today."

Roland returned safely to his seat.

Gemma Wright watched what unfolded on the field and lamented.

"With so much respect for Roland...it seems those old stubborns are still in control of Carone."

Lacey asked confusedly why.

"Because only the older generation of nobles believe everything. Nobles doing business don't dare to go too far when they meet Alan Bell's family. They don't want to get in trouble with the goddess of luck."

It was Sophie who answered Lacey. She circled the area to be auctioned and glanced at Roland, who was already drinking tea slowly.

"Roland Alainbell will definitely get whatever place he wants. But Roland can't take pictures of very good areas. The older generation of nobles are stingy and greedy. They firmly believe that descendants of gods will have preferential treatment that no one else has... They don't want to see it. Roland makes so much money."

Gemma nodded. She took off her black-rimmed glasses and looked calm.

"The most central area will probably be photographed by Ivansto Ruichi of Lulitea. The Ruichi family is determined to win Carone, but they only want this piece of land, and their family members only care about the land when doing business. The feeling given to them... But Ivansto Ruichi is not a bad person.

Although he was a little weird, he had just gone with Umati Ball to beat up the mehndi noble who asked Roland to stay out of his own business. "

Gemma Wright spoke methodically, speculating on the final ownership of each area.

Lacey looked at Gemma Wright in surprise and sighed.

"You are amazing! You actually know so many people?"

Gemma put on her black-rimmed glasses and smiled sheepishly.

“My mother is unreliable and my father can do nothing but make my mother happy.

So I followed my grandmother to handle family affairs very early, and I got to know some people by watching her negotiate and auction. The western continent is so big, you will always meet people you know. "

Gemma Wright looked at Lacey with a slightly lonely expression.

"I also know that your father and mother... they are very good to you. They said that they should wait until you want to accept family affairs and will not be hurt before letting you come out for exercise."

Lacey paused for a moment, with a smile on her lips and wanted to say what good parents her parents were... But when she saw Gemma's lonely expression, she felt that her words were like showing off and should not be said.

Lacey didn't know how to comfort her.

Then she heard Gemma Wright's faint voice.

"Why can't you give me another sister...I want to retire after raising the next heir!"

Lacey: "...I thought you wanted to complain about your parents being unreliable."

Gemma let out a confused "Huh".

"No. Although they are not good family heirs, they are good parents. I agree to follow my grandmother out to see the world. If I don't agree, my mother will insist on watching her no matter how painful it is. I don’t understand the accounts.”

Roland suddenly spoke.

"I remember you had a brother?"

Gemma Wright: "His IQ is not enough to be the heir of the family."

Sophie, who had been listening quietly, also joined the conversation.

"What if your brother wants to take your place in the future?"

Gemma Wright was stunned for a few seconds.

She understood something.

"That... our Wright family has always been inherited by women."

Gemma said shyly.

"So logically speaking, my brother has no right to inherit at all. But if he wants to marry someone in the future, I will give him a lot of pocket money!"

Sophie sighed deeply after hearing this.

Why hasn’t this good tradition been carried forward in Jeremy’s family? While maintaining the image of a lady, she also had to fight for power with her brothers and uncles from the side branches.

However, she and Qiao An agreed that after they graduate and get married, she will be in charge of the Calholm family.

-

"Joan? Why are you here?"

Norvia looked at Joan Calholm who was buying milk tea in the alley in surprise.

She knew Joan would be there. Hueter had told her that Sophie was here to attend the auction. But what she found magical was that Joan appeared in this area - this is the base camp of the "bandits".

Norvia came here because both "Morning Star" and "Heiga" were looking for her. She had just destroyed an underground trade of illegally selling small elves.

Joan looked at her nervously.

"Classmate Laili...why are you here!"

Qiao An dragged her into an empty cafe.

"Classmate Laili, this is the base camp of the rebels. It's very dangerous here. Have you joined any force?

I joined ‘Tempest’ and they asked me to find the mysterious figure that both ‘Heiga’ and ‘Morning Star’ have been wooing recently. ‘Tempest’ needs to suppress the development of these two forces. "

The third force in the rebel army that Norvia has never found appears here.

"Then... take me to the 'Storm'."

Norvia made a preliminary judgment on "The Tempest". Joan Calhom yearns for peace. His joining the Tempest shows that this force, at least on the surface, seems harmless.

"Classmate Laili, this is really dangerous--ah?"

Joan reacted.

He looked at Norvia and wanted to persuade her not to get involved in this political whirlpool... but he quickly remembered that Hute Remyatz was her teammate, the scary wanted criminal with a high bonus on the wanted order, and also Her teammates.

Joan was silent for a moment, then lifted up a piece of floorboard and pressed a red button.

Norvia suddenly lost weight. She fixed her figure with water magic, and finally landed lightly on the ground.

Qiao An wanted to use the artifact to catch Norvia, but when he saw the opponent landing handsomely, he put away the artifact and rolled on the ground a few times.

Then he stood up, dusted himself off, and bowed down to introduce him like a gentleman.

"Welcome to The Tempest."
