Chapter 128: Admission
One Eye was very nervous, “Lord Hun Ton has already said that after the beast tide, Two Eyes Island needs to recover. Fights between humanity is strictly prohibited.
Zong Ge coldly snorted.
The pirates’ eyes shined, each of them pleasantly surprised.
The first mate turned to shout at once, “We are all good people that solemnly follow Lord Hun Tong’s orders!”
“We don’t want this catch of fish; they will be set aside for you.”
“Return now!”
Although the ten chosen pirates had courage enough to not fear battling on an enemy ship, if they didn’t need to fight, why would they fight?
In the pirates’ plan, Two Eyes Island was a leisurely trip, they weren’t here to make war, but rather to conduct business matters.
The pirates all took a big step back.
This time, it would be harder to start fights.
When One Eye saw this in the distance, he immediately let out a breath and brightly laughed, “Impulse is the devil! Two Eyes Island welcomes every friend that participates in the auction.”
“This really isn’t righteous conduct.” The dragonman youngster sighed softly and gave the order to drop this fight.
According to his temper, he would attack these pirates will all of his strength.
As a believer of the Justice God, pirates who killed and plundered were the dragonman youngster’s natural enemy.
Dealing with them was keeping to the path of righteousness.
But as leader, the dragonman youngster also had to consider the others and the overall situation.
Zong Ge was unable to implement his training plan and coldly snorted with displeasure.
Before leaving, the youthful Dian Wan left behind some ruthless words, “I will remember what happened today. Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps, pray you won’t run into me on the seas in the future!”
The first mate yelled at once, “Captain, can’t you talk a bit less?!”
“Don’t provoke trouble, especially on the island.” One Eye warned as he gazed at the departing pirates’ backs.
Dian Wan coldly snorted, “We are leaving!”
The small ship overtly sailed towards Two Eyes Island.
As the countdown to the auction ticked down, more and more people arrived at Two Eyes Island.
They assembled on the old island.
Because Hun Tong had regulated that the new island wouldn’t admit outsiders until the auction day.
Compared to when the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps arrived, the old island had sunken much more. The port was completely packed, and the ships were lined closer together, this was the time of year when there were the most ships berthed.
If it were not because of the beast tide damaging many places, Hun Tong would have ordered people to widen areas to serve as temporary ports. The port typically couldn’t handle this many ships.
Two days after the Lightning Pirates arrived, the equally famous Stench Pirates arrived too.
Before too long, someone at the old island sale saw the frogman “Da Zhang Hu Li”. This silver level pirate was the leader of the Applause Pirates.
The five great merchant alliance ships were also entering port.
If it weren’t for the beast tide, they, like in previous years, would have come here before the pirates.
As if by prior agreement, they all brought their respective merchandise. According to their discussed business agreement with Hun Tong, this merchandise would be sold during the auction.
The merchant alliance members escorting the goods were at least iron level, with some silver levels too.
Each of humanity’s six great merchant alliances were a colossus, and deploying silver levels was not the least bit difficult. Every essential stationed manager needed to have at least a silver level cultivation.
During this time, solitary heroes similar to Shi Fa and Hong Zhu also appeared in succession.
The gunman Mei Ban, a female dancer from the owlman clan Yue Ban, the dwarf Men Shi, and so on.
Following Song Shou paying a visit, the auction floor was in turmoil.
Song Shou was a gold level fighter and a newly promoted imperial noble. Information stated that he planned to copy Hun Tong and choose an ocean island to serve as his domain.
After Song Shou arrived, people began to guess whether the Ten Touch Pirates would come too, and if they did, when they would come.
The Ten Touch Pirates were the only large scale pirate group around Two Eyes Island that had a gold level fighter, their commander Qi You.
In previous years, Qi You had always shown up. But because of Song Shou, would he cancel his trip?
As the old island sank, Hun Tong had no choice but to relocate from his city government building.
People were flowing all over the old island, but since all of the industry had already been located, it looked both prosperous and desolate.
Since the people present was growing increasingly complicated, the problem of law and order on the old island was magnified.
The dragonman youngster constrained his subordinates to the ships as much as possible.
The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps’ discipline surpassed the other two mercenary corps, and more so the other pirate groups.
In this respect, Zong Ge’s contributions couldn’t go unnoticed.
In this environment, the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps, who had once dominated public opinion, gradually faded into the background.
The survivors were all waiting surreptitiously.
They were waiting for the Bai Zhen Clan’s reply.
On the first night, Zi Di had gone to the Wisteria Store’s magic messaging unit to deliver a letter.
Based on the timeframe, if there was a reply back, it would arrive in the next few days.
In addition, they were also waiting for the auction to come.
There were many goods they needed.
They would be used to construct the Bloodline Purification formation in the future.
Some wouldn’t be used for that, but Zi Di and Fei She upon analysis, due to their familiarity with the market, suggested to the dragonman youngster to also seize those goods too.
These goods could be first stocked up on, awaiting an appropriate opportunity for them to be used. Not only could they be used to make money, but many times, such valuable and rare alchemy materials could be used to exchange for other such things.
Upon reaching the gold level, this kind of phenomenon began to appear.
The higher one’s level, the more widespread this phenomenon was.
With everyone looking forward to it, the Coral Auction finally arrived.
The new island opened.
The dragoman youngster, the half beastman Zong Ge, Tripleblade, Lan Zao, and Fei She arrived together at the auction meeting place.
The auction venue was guarded by a massive military force.
At the entrance, the five people showed their admission tickets.
After the entrance guards carefully inspected their authenticity, they let them through.
After passing through the hallway, the five people arrived at the main auction venue.
The auction venue was very big and expansively vacant.
The auction stage looked like an arena, and high above, several lights shined downwards, one would believe that any product would be seen clearly in this radiance.
There were many seats for the audience.
There were also a second floor with many private rooms. The private rooms circled around the auction stage in a gigantic annulus.
Upon seeing the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps’ five people walk in, an attendant immediately came up to greet them cordially, “Lord Long Fu, Lord Shi Qi!”
On Two Eyes Island, the dragonman youngster’s and the half beastman’s reputation had already been spread far and wide.
After seeing the admission ticket in the dragonman youngster’s hand, the attendant grew more respectful and he deeply stooped in salute, “My Lords, you will be sitting in room 14, please follow me upstairs.”
There were a finite number of private rooms, and such seating was a scare resource, thus not everyone could get one.
With the help of prior relationships, the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps had made a deal with Hun Tong.
The five people arrived at room 14.
Lan Zao and Tripleblade stayed outside and didn’t enter the room to instead serve as bodyguards.
On the contrary, the ordinary Fei She accompanied the dragonman youngster and Zong Ge to keep watch inside the private room.
With the auction about to begin, they needed Fei She’s business acumen to fiercely compete against others.
The private room faced the auction stage through an immense floor-to-ceiling window.
“That, that is a unidirectional lens, an alchemy item. We can, can clearly see through it, but outsiders cannot see us inside the private room.” Fei She presented.
The dragonman youngster directed his gaze and immediately noticed the advantages of the private room. It had a high location with a broad field of view.
When they came in, admissions had been taken care of and the audience was taking their seats.
Some people were masked, others weren’t.
The masks disguised their identities, for not only were there pirates, but there were also some who were worried that after they bought something, flaunting that they had would provoke trouble.
The dragonman youngster and the others weren’t wearing masks.
Mainly because his body features were too distinct.
Furthermore, they had the Deceptive Disguise spell on them, and it wasn’t necessary to disguise themselves further, besides such a disguise would never fool Feudal Lord Hun Tong.
Since it was so, it wasn’t necessary to be superfluous.
On the contrary, exposing his identity in this situation would benefit him in this auction.
Just as the dragonman youngster and Zong Ge sat down, the attendant gave them prepared tea and pastries.
At this time, a group of dauntless pirates entered the auction venue.
At their forefront was their leader, a man with a head of conspicuous blue hedgehog hair, it was Dian Wan.
Dian Wan hurriedly and excitedly walked towards the second floor.
The attendant receiving him rushed to overtake him, “Your Lordship, your private room is not in that direction, take the stairs closest to us.”
The first mate shrugged and stated that this was how Dian Wan usually behaved. His impulses were too strong.
Dian Wan’s yelled in displeasure, his voice quite loud.
Many people recognized who he was but pretended not to know him.
