Chapter 409 The Siren Queen
Chapter 409 The Siren Queen
Few of the most wealthy men and women in the hall had called out their prices for the Siren Queen. Even if some of them might lose a ton of wealth, how could they resist themselves after hearing the allure of gaining the power to sabotage their enemies without much effort?
And if they missed their chance, who knows if it would come again in their lifetimes? A Siren Queen couldn't be a rarer being.
Because of this, the initial auction price was raised and raised till it reached 700,000, and nobody else was able to raise it again due to how insanely high the price already was.
Not everyone was willing to go dirt poor since they knew that there was no sure-shot chance of gaining the Siren Queen's power. It was a complicated process and might not be worth the risk.
There was also no solid precedent of anyone gaining such powers.
But right when everyone thought the buyer was set, a hand suddenly rose up, only for people to be surprised that it was a rabbitman. However, upon seeing his handsome face and muscular build, they easily recognized him as the Goblin Slayer who had recently got famous in this town.
"What the hell? It is the Goblin Slayer?"
"I thought he was simply here for fun."
"I know, right. How can a rabbitman like him be loaded? There is no way he has more than 700,000 coins to spare. I bet my wife on that, hmph."
"Maybe he is trying to get a discount due to his 'title'?"
"Then he can't be more foolish, heh."
Narin only slightly pulled her brows together before relaxing as she asked, "Sir Goblin Slayer, since you raised your hand, can I know the price at which you wish to buy her, considering the current auction price stands at 700,000."
Narin was simply asking to be polite and thought that the rabbitman probably wasn't paying attention to the price because of which she made it clear in her words, thinking he would sit down after realizing his mistake.
Viktor subtly smiled as he walked towards the platform, much to Narin's surprise, wondering what he was up to. Was he going to try something to lessen the embarrassment?
"I don't have that many greater odic coins to spare, but…I have this. Perhaps someone as experienced as you would understand its value once you see it," Viktor said as he showed the shiny blue stone to Narin, whose eyes immediately got pulled towards the stone.
Viktor handed over the stone as she took a careful look at it while the people in the hall squinted their eyes, trying to get a closer look at what was going on.
Some laughed, thinking that the rabbitman was offering a fancy-looking stone in hopes of it being some treasure. There were so many beautiful-looking stones available throughout the realm, but most of them didn't have any substantial value, while the very rare few which had real value wouldn't surely end up in the hands of a rabbitman.
Narin also thought the same at first, but the moment she held it in her hands and felt the highly concentrated aura of odic force emanating from the stone, her eyes widened in astonishment since this little stone was clearly worth more than 700,000 greater odic coins…a high quality treasure in its own right.
She was really curious how this rabbitman came upon such a precious stone since this surely didn't seem to be something anybody would come upon. But she knew better than to ask him as she gave a pretty smile and said, "I can see that this beautiful stone is quite a valuable odic treasure, it's worth higher than the current auction price for the Siren Queen. Can you confirm that you wish to proceed with this transaction, sir?"
"Yes, please," Viktor nodded while taking a look at the Siren Queen, whose cold eyes momentarily looked in his direction, making Viktor feel the faint killing intent and bloodthirst hidden behind those eyes.
With just one look, he could see that this Siren Queen would slaughter everyone here if she got the chance. So beautiful yet the deadliest creature he had set his eyes upon.
He could only hope Seraphina was right about her gut feeling.
The others clicked their tongue in frustration, seeing how a rabbitman beat them all to it. They couldn't help but wonder if this rabbitman had the goddess of luck by his side to be so lucky. He had a stunning beauty with a great figure as his wife; he was lucky enough to deal the killing blow to the Goblin King, and now he was lucky enough to possess a precious stone that allowed him to buy the Siren Queen.
Meanwhile, in the center roof box above, a handsome young-looking man was sitting on a comfortable yet grand chair, looking down at the rabbitman buying the Siren Queen.
Beside him was a young-looking beautiful woman who was hugging Mevron's arm in an affectionate way. She was none other than Ara Anath, the Mermaid Princess and Mevron's prized wife.
Her gaze was also on the Goblin Slayer as her lips parted before saying coyly, "Dear, you seem to show a great interest in the Goblin Slayer? You still haven't told me why. Don't tell it's because he killed the Goblin King when it was already on its last breath. Besides, I know you can kill ten Goblin Kings in your sleep."
While asking this, her gaze momentarily shifted towards the hooded woman who was none other than the Goblin Slayer's wife, rumored to be even more beautiful than her.
She obviously wasn't the one to get influenced by any gossip or rumors, even if she didn't like them. But this rumor she simply couldn't ignore, especially since she could feel what her husband was thinking about, and it surely wasn't the Goblin Slayer.
Mevron gave a soft chuckle as he said without a change in his expression, "You overthink things. I always appreciate the strong. You know how the nature of our race is. Now…I have a surprise coming up. Wait and see."
