——This guy is also a caster.
The young girl below introduced herself while announcing the opening of tonight’s slave auction.
And with Ronald’s current exaggerated perception ability.
He had already confird the girl’s identity before she finished speaking.
In fact, judging solely by the level of Magic Fluctuation, the auctioneer girl’s strength was comparable to that of an ordinary investigator.
"The Rudny Kingdom, has already reached this level..."
Ronald muttered softly.
The auctioneer girl’s abilities, in the world before its transformation, would definitely not have been considered ordinary goods.
For backward places like the Rudny Kingdom, becoming a leading mber of a power was not surprising. Yet everything changed dramatically within half a year of the world’s transformation.
Casters who could have beco leader-level figures.
Now could only work hard in the slave market, at the position of auctioneer.
"Firstly, tonight’s first item!"
"She is the descendant of northern bay nobility, both her appearance and figure are top-notch. Especially her maternal lineage, which is from a long-standing caster family. With such exceptional conditions, even if used as a tool for lineage continuation, she will definitely be an excellent mother..."
"I bid 170 Runi!"
"203 Runi!"
"210!"
The auction began imdiately.
The currency used here is the sa as what Ronald saw on Anluo Island, all being new coins recast by cult magicians after collecting previous generation currency.
The largest denomination, Runi, directly mixed nurous precious tals into the coin, and the coin surface was engraved with the cult magician’s emblem.
If soone were found holding such a coin in Greider.
Ronald thought people would most likely not consider them a rchant intending to trade, but rather a cult magician preparing for evil deeds.
...
As he silently pondered, the first auction below had already ended.
The auctioneer girl displayed the item for the winner on stage, with a rather good smile on her face:
"Alright, Mr. Lerna, with a price of 285 Runi, you have obtained tonight’s first item. Surely, after reaping such lucky early gains, you will have a wonderful experience tonight..."
Watching the scene below, Ronald tried to keep his mindset calm.
However, hearing the auctioneer refer to the slave girl, not even using the human ’unit’ asure, but rather an object asure ’one’, Ronald still shielded his sight.
Even if cult magicians were vigorously implenting their policies on this land.
But it probably won’t take long.
In a world with reorganized pathways, countries like Greider or Entrodite would inevitably transform this place into a completely different landscape again.
"Now, the second item of the night!"
"He was transported from the distant Numan Continent, a warrior with innate great strength and a robust body. Guarding ho, training martial arts, fighting for entertainnt, he’s the top of the top! Achieving his transport here was successful only under Lady Luck’s favor..."
"..."
The auction continued, but Ronald already had no interest.
So he turned to the side, and asked the spirited slave trader who was seriously observing the auction:
"By the way, didn’t you need our help earlier, so how to proceed next?"
Hearing Ronald initiating a conversation, the slave trader, aware of his extraordinary status, promptly replied:
"Sir, you just need to enjoy the auction below."
"If a target appears that I wish to purchase, I will give you a price I can afford, you just need to help bid with your new mbership status, not able to buy items doesn’t matter."
Ronald raised an eyebrow:
"So... you had a target before coming?"
"The auction here typically sends us rchants a booklet before each auction." The slave trader explained, "Initially, I didn’t have a strong purchasing inclination."
"But with your two’s status assisting, I might consider trying."
The slave trader had already regretted it.
Although Ronald had not extended his emotion perception ability widely, he maintained his perception for soone so close.
Initially, this slave trader approached with an intention to earn a fortune.
But as the interaction went on, his ntality shifted.
His plan changed from the initial intention of selling Patricia to using Ronald’s status to fleece so profit from the slave trade.
And in the final conversation, due to his remarks, the slave trader no longer dared to guess Ronald’s identity. As for those petty intentions... none remained now.
For the slave trader, considering safety is always essential.
And after tonight’s events, his sole thought now was how to quickly sever ties with Ronald and Patricia.
Too dangerous.
Engaging with these individuals of high status, and highly likely powerful casters, is extrely perilous!
The Rudny Kingdom’s upper echelons, those cult magicians’ true conduct, how could he, as a slave trader, be unaware?
The issue of vision limited the slave trader’s imagination.
He could only judge powerful casters based on the cult magicians he’s seen.
Thus, the outco was quite straightforward.
In the slave trader’s current view, even if it ans incurring certain losses, severing ties with Ronald and Patricia must be done as soon as possible!
"The third item of tonight!"
At that mont, the auction for the second slave below had ended.
When introducing the third slave for auction, the auctioneer girl struck a pose before continuing with the introduction:
"Here is a caster from Greider, sold into slavery due to inability to repay gambling debts. Gentlen, this is a rare item! A caster from the world’s strongest nation, Greider, who could guess how much mysterious information is hidden within him?"
"..."
"400 Runi!"
"450 Runi!"
"600!"
"611!"
The voices calling bids below rose and fell, so even becoming distorted with excitent, the lively scene resembling a party.
But amongst the waves of continuous bidding.
Ronald’s gaze was firmly fixed on a man.
The reason Ronald focused like this was not because the man was an enemy of Ronald, nor because the man was particularly powerful, nor even because he bid so boldly.
It was because through a trace of familiar subtlety.
Ronald discovered this man—was Heloise in disguise!
