TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

Chapter 194: The Last Slave

The values quickly began to become astronomical. In just one minute, the value has already reached almost three hundred thousand gold coins. This value is too high for a high-level slave.

For ordinary nobles, this would be considered a great value, but for the wealthiest and most powerful nobles in Silkhall City, the value was average. Because the amount of money they can earn from it is very high, but there is also a great risk.

Other nobles can see her as someone who will be a competition, so she can be murdered and all investments will be wasted. Because of this, many powerful noble families had agreements with other families to prevent this from happening.

Many entered into profit sharing or fee reduction agreements charged by portals. Some even give free portals in exchange for help.

Overall, leveling a slave with portal skills was quite risky and dangerous, but it was profitable in the end.

If the person with the skills to create portals was anyone else, that was not a slave. It can simply hide and level in peace.

At the same time that bids were skyrocketing to try to buy the slave with the ability to create portals, noble families were making deals with each other in an attempt to lessen the danger.

Ten minutes later

"Ladies and gentlemen, we thank you for your purchases. Customers in VIP rooms will receive slaves purchased in your respective rooms." Lillia announced.

The top four bids were listed in the table. The four buyers were customers of the VIP rooms, as they were the groups with the most money in the auction.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now, I will announce the last slave in the auction. I had said at the beginning that I was also one of the slaves for sale, right?" Lillie reminded everyone on the spot.

Some had even forgotten that.

Lillie's words aroused curiosity in everyone, as no one knows what kind of skill she has to be considered the most outstanding slave at the auction.

In all the auctions that took place on the market, the last slave to be auctioned was always the most precious and expensive slave in the auction. Their ability was so rare that it overshadows any other ability of previous slaves.

If the Warp Portal skill was already rare, what kind of skill would be considered even rarer? That is the doubt in everyone's mind.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the information for this slave" Lillie waved her hand and the projection showed her statistics.

Name: Lillie

Level 1

Strength: 6

Agility: 0

Vitality: 3

Intelligence: 5

Skill

Future Night Vision (Active) (Level 1) - The user can mark someone with his energies. During the darkest hour of the night, the user will have visions about the future of the marked person. The skill only works during the darkest hour of the night. The higher the level, the longer the visions. The skill can only be used on one person at a time.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The crowd was startled to see Lillie's skill. This is something that defies the heavens.

Everyone finally understood why Lillie is the last slave to be sold. Her skill is much rarer and more powerful than the Warp Portal.

Seeing the future is something that can be of great help in times of life and death.

"How did the slave market get a slave like her to sell?!!!!"

"Who was insane enough to sell her as a slave??!!!!!!"

"I need this slave !!!!!!!"

Thousands of screams echoed through the auditorium when the projection was shown.

Lillie's skill was too shocking.

No one believed that the slave market could sell her as a slave. If they used her, they could earn a lot more money. Nobody understood why the slave market decided to sell Lillie.

If the news about a slave with the ability to see the future is being sold at a slave auction was spread, the big shots of the capital and other kingdoms will appear at the auction.

Silkhall City would be in a big mess because of so many powerful people showing up.

(Why didn't the slave market sell her in a richer place? They could earn a lot more by selling her in that type of place. Is it possible that she saw something about the future of the slave market? That's why they decided to sell it at this auction??) Many questions arose in the minds of everyone at the site. They want to know why the slave market is doing this.

A slave market has the objective of making profits, no matter what slave they sell. They need profit.

Selling Lillie at this auction is more advantageous than at other larger auctions. They have some hidden reason for doing this.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time, the sale of this slave will be different from the previous ones. The slave market will not accept gold coins, what will be accepted are items of value equivalent to this slave" Lillie explained.

For a slave like her, gold coins were very cheap. What the slave market is looking for this time are rare and precious items with values equivalent to Lillie's skill.

"..." No one commented on Lillie's words.

Customers were thinking about this. They thought this was a reasonable thing, as the slave market has already obtained many gold coins by selling previous slaves.

Selling a slave with a skill like Lillie's for gold coins is a big waste.

Exchange is the most sensible thing to do.

The problem is: What kinds of things is the slave market accepting to trade for Lillie? These items also need to be extremely rare and precious.

"Ladies and gentlemen, to keep customers confidential. The slave market will place a special booth for you to show your items. Market managers will decide which item will be accepted in exchange for me" Lillie explained. She waved a hand and a wooden booth the size of a chemical toilet appeared on the stage.

The cabin looked ordinary, but each part of it is reinforced with extremely powerful defensive spells to prevent curious people from seeing what was going on inside.

"Ladies and gentlemen, managers have set a five-minute negotiation time for each client interested in doing business. Customers will be called in order of tickets" Lillie already knows the outcome of the auction, but she doesn't know what will be given in return or who will be the winner.

The views she sees are quite vague because of the low level of the skill. If she levels up and gets stronger, her visions will be longer and easier to understand.

"The esteemed customer of the VIP room number XXX will be the first to make the offer. If in one minute the esteemed customer does not respond, managers will assume that this is refusal and the next one will be called."

When Lillie finished speaking, a man appeared in the middle of the hall and walked towards the stage. He is the noble who was in the VIP room number XXX, he was the first to buy the ticket.
