Chapter 28 Street Fighting
The decoration of the auction hall is similar to that of the opera hall. The seats on the first floor are spread out in a semi-circle, and where each seat faces is the auction platform that everyone can see clearly.
On the second floor, there are independent boxes embedded in the wall. Each box has a sloping ladder that points directly to the auction table.
At this time, the venue was overcrowded.
Even the second-floor box with harsh conditions is full of seats.
On the splendid auction stage, a middle-aged auctioneer with a calm face was congratulating the buyer who had just bought a female slave in a passionate tone.
In the seat near the front row, Sol's eyes were chasing the female slave who had just been photographed by others, and his wolf-like gaze swept over the sensitive part of the female slave.
"Gollum."
Sol couldn't help swallowing.
It was not until the female slave was sent back to the backstage that he smacking his lips regretfully.
Beside him, Arthur silently moved to the side.
"It's so white and so big."
Sol sighed, wiped the saliva that came out accidentally with his hand, and then wiped it on Arthur's clothes.
"you……!"
Arthur looked at Thor in shock and anger, resisting the urge to put the seat over Thor's head.
Saul looked as if nothing had happened, and the old god was holding Erlang's legs.
Arthur endured it, only blaming himself for having to sit beside Thor.
"Later, it's probably going to get lively."
Suddenly, Arthur heard Thor whisper to himself.
"What's the meaning?"
He looked at Sol in confusion.
Sol grinned and whispered to himself, "Anything that can easily touch people's hearts..."
"Um?"
Arthur's face was straight, as if he realized something.
Then, he heard Sol's next words.
"It's often like shit, it's easy to blind some people's eyes."
"..."
On the auction table, the middle-aged auctioneer opened his arms and his tone was always enthusiastic and powerful.
"The next product will be the last slave to be auctioned tonight. As the final product of the slave category, it must not disappoint you, so please take a look."
As the last byte fell, he suddenly waved his arms and pointed to the left side of the auction table.
With the rumbling sound of the wheels rolling, a cart with cast iron cages was pushed to the center of the auction table by two powerful staff members.
Inside the cage, a khaki-colored murloc sat cross-legged, with chains wrapped around his sturdy body that couldn't break free.
The murloc lowered his head, as still as a dead thing.
He was in good health, but there was an aura of ashes all over him.
The auctioneer walked to the edge of the cage and smiled:
"This is tonight's final product of slaves, the bevel-toothed shark man. I know that customers who like this product must come well prepared, while customers who hate this product are not interested."
"So, allow me to skip the introduction and go straight to the next step in the merchandise presentation."
As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, the staff member on the other side of the cage pressed a button on the cart.
Zizi-!
All of a sudden, a bright electric current rushed through the murloc.
"Ahhh!"
After receiving this electric shock, the murloc, who had been dead a second ago, suddenly twisted his body crazily and screamed with his mouth wide open.
Because of this, the big mouth revealed the characteristic he possessed as a conical-toothed shark man—a dense vertical and horizontal sharp tooth.
In the seats, the buyers who came for the murlocs have long been eager to move. As long as they enter the auction stage, they will raise their placards and bid as soon as possible.
Kaszt is one of them.
This murloc slave will be his inevitable commodity.
.........
In the backstage behind the curtain of the auction stage, there are cages that hold slaves in disorder.
These slaves were almost all women of first-rate stature, and of course, there were also a few strong male slaves.
Regardless of whether it was a female slave or a male slave, at this moment, when they heard the shrill screams from the auction platform, they all bowed their heads and said nothing, and their eyes were full of ashes.
Among these cages, there is a cage that is more like a pet box, and a skunk with a white body and a slender body is held in it.
Strangely, this skunk is not only not smelly, but even exudes a strange aroma.
The skunk curled up in the cage, and the humanized black eyes stared at the human slaves present.
Those eyes that are no different from human beings have no sense of being a caged prisoner at all.
He looked at the slaves as if he were looking at a bunch of poor bastards.
.............
The night is getting darker, and the coolness comes with the wind.
Maud quietly followed the three prey.
Not long after they left, a few more drunken men walked out of the tavern and walked towards the street in a certain direction.
After the men walked some distance, Sabo pushed open the door of the tavern and walked out.
He glanced at the men who had walked a certain distance without a trace, but he acted surprisingly in line with Maud, and quietly followed behind the men.
Maud, who was in the opposite direction, knew nothing about this.
He followed the three prey all the way, but never found a suitable opportunity to get off.
However, he was in no hurry.
It doesn't matter if you wait until dawn, as long as you can secure your income.
This is one of his hunting principles.
Maud hangs far behind his prey.
Time passed quickly, half an hour passed.
At this time, Maud finally waited for the opportunity.
Seeing that the three prey finally stopped hanging out, but turned into an alley, Maud's eyes lit up and quickly followed.
The three men who were hanging on their shoulders had no idea that there was a god of death hanging behind them.
They walked aimlessly in the alley, and for some reason, they saw a bar with business lights at the end of a narrow alley.
"Hey, there is actually a bar in this place?"
One of the men rubbed his eyes, a little surprised.
"Want to go have a few more drinks?"
"Okay."
Jiu Xing was aroused, and several men came to be interested.
bang bang-
At this moment, two shots were fired without warning in the alley.
The hot lead bullet cut through the air and hit the backs of two of the men, bursting out two eye-catching blood flowers and falling forward.
"Um?"
The last man who was not shot reacted abruptly, and without hesitation, he pulled one of the shot companions who were about to fall to the ground as a shield, and at the same time looked in the direction of the buckshot.
boom--
Another shot.
Another blood flower was added to the back of the companion who was used as a shield.
At the other end of the alley, Maud, who fired the third shot, was quite surprised.
He carried three guns in total, so he was able to fire three shots in a short period of time.
The first two shots were left and right, and the flintlock pistols hit the two prey with guns on them.
Of course, in order to harvest experience, he deliberately avoided the key points.
Then, he quickly switched to [Usopp] and shot at the last knife-wielding prey.
It's just that he didn't expect that the last knife-wielding prey would react so quickly and so ruthlessly that he would use his companion as a shield without even thinking about it.
Thinking that the two shot prey would bleed to death in a short period of time, Maud decisively threw away [Usopp] and rushed towards the man with the knife who used his companion as a shield.
The man with the knife saw Maud rushing over, his eyes changed, and he hesitated for a moment. Instead of pulling out the flintlock gun that was slung on his waist, he pushed the shield companion away, and then pulled out the long knife.
At this moment, Maud was already close, holding a dagger and attacking the man with the knife.
The man with the knife did not retreat but advanced, took a big step forward, and without hesitation raised the knife and stabbed Maud straight.
He wanted to take advantage of the length of the weapon to kill Maud with one knife.
However, Maud was abruptly short, and he avoided the straight stabbing knife in a dangerous and dangerous way. Then, two knife lights flashed by in an instant.
Maud crossed the man with the knife, turned around suddenly, and slowed down with his heels, while looking at the back of the man with the knife.
A moment later, the man with the knife spewed blood arrows from his wrist and throat.
The whole process to the end, is between the electric light and flint.
Seeing the man with the knife spewing blood, Maud rushed forward a few steps, took a knife to the back of the man with the knife, and pushed the man with the knife to the ground at the same time.
Afterwards, he quickly found the bounty from the incompetent prey and glanced at it.
After confirming the names, he immediately summoned the notebook, and before the three prey took their last breath, he quickly wrote down the information of the three with a quill pen.
"Catch up."
After writing the last word, Maud slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tsk."
At this moment, a surprised sound suddenly came from the end of the alley behind him.
Maud was shocked when he heard the sound, and removed the hunter's note like a conditioned reflex.
The blood stained on the notebook immediately turned into droplets of blood and fell to the ground.
After that, he squatted down with one step, pulled out the flintlock pistol from the waist of the prey, and immediately turned around, aiming the muzzle at the owner of the voice.
