Grand Dad Is The Pervert God-Chapter 124 The Auction Begins
Lady Frostbite had seen all that had happened so far and sighed lowly.
She could really understand the emotions that Amanda and Shade were feeling.
The love for family had its way of charging through one's heart, and confusing one's decisions.
Unlike Eros and Baron Bolos, Lady Frostbite was not interested in soliciting for the attention of the Viscount.
It was true that she was a Baron under him.
But that did not mean that she liked him, or wished to.
When it came to Viscount Peter, there were just toosny weird and unexplained things.
She prefered keeping to herself.
As long as he knew that she had been filial by attending his birthday party, it was enough.
Then again, these days, there was nearly no noble without one form of atrocity or the other.
Eros took both women, Amanda and Shade in hand as they walked towards the Auction room.
While Dan accompanied lady Frostbite and Penny behind.
He had so much gist for Penny. Much of which he was sure would blow her mind.
After all, he and Eros had been on quite the adventure.
The Auction room. Reminded Eros of what the cinema houses in his former world used to look like.
Except that it was more spaced out with a high podium for displaying the items of interest.
Far off on the high walls, Eros could see luxury boxes. These places were most likely for VIP.
Of course, VIP in this kind of Place would mean Viscount ranked nobles and above that had come for this party.
The master for the auction was a slightly elderly man with a monocle on one eye.
He had a strong astute accent. Evidence that he was not from this side of the kingdom.
Nearly as soon as the guests were seated, the Master of the Auction stepped forward. He had a broad smile in his face,much like a show man.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my humble self will be your Master of the Auction to grace the occasion of the Viscount's birthday party."
As he talked on stage, waiters went around with trays still serving wine from the dinner party.
"Without a moment's time to waste, I will get on with the show. And please note that all transactions happen in cash before you leave the Viscount's territory," he waved his hand and the curtain behind him opened up.
"Our first item for display is not so rare but due to the conflict with the Beast kingdom, securing such an item of value has increased tremendously."
As he talked, some men in black with the Insignia of the Black Axe guild tattooed on their bodies pushed a small cage forward.
Within it was a little beast girl, or as the nobles loved to refer to them, a furry.
She had the lower body of a horse and the upper body of a human.
If Eros was to guess, he would say that she was around fourteen or fifteen years of age.
In her cage, she looked frightened and looked around nervously.
Her upper body was clothed but not her lower body.
"Uuuu!!!" Some perverts in the crowd were obviously excited by this.
"This here, ladies and gentlemen is a centaur. As you you all know, they are the tribe of the Beast kings Cavalry. Born with noble blood and bearing. Everyone of them, not so hard to see but a very difficult specimen to acquire."
The master of auction introduced carefully.
"For the gents that have a hard taste for exploring such strong creatures, this one is a good opportunity for you. This bidding will start with 100 bronze coins."
"120 bronze coins!" Some one suddenly shouted.
"150 bronze coins!"
"200 bronze coins!"
"Oh! 200 bronze coins. That is two silver coins from the old gentleman in the back. Any more, do I hear 300 bronze coins, or maybe 250. Okay! 200 going once, going twice. Do I hear any more!?"
Meanwhile, Dan had his eyes glued on the centaur from the moment she was pulled into the room.
His eyes glowed to the beauty that she was.
Eros was the god of love and lust. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝓂
The moment Dan felt the peng in his chest, he knew it.
He turned to him, squinting his eyes.
Eros knew did not want to bid, and he did not think they should lose focus for the reason they were here.
After all, it was for the Medusas and the Nagas.
However, this was the first time he had seen this look in Dan's eyes.
Then again, now that he thought about it, he had never seen Dan hang around people his age.
Even in the Estate, it was either he was with Penny or reading a book somewhere.
In fact, if Jimmy the butler had not imposed it on Dan, he would have never learned swordsmanship.
After all, Dan was genetically incapable of cultivation.
From the moment the boy discovered this, he had recused himself to the life within the Estate walls.
This was the first time he was seeing Dan taking an interest in any one around his age.
Eros wanted to bind for him, but he knew how the world worked.
Dan would have to do this by himself.
"Hey boy!" Eros called to him, "that looks like a really pretty girl. Why don't you bid for her?"
"Huh!?" Dan was taken aback by those words.
He really had not expected to hear those words from his Granddad.
"Bu...but... she's a...a" Dan stammered a bit. This was obviously from his nervousness.
"A pretty girl! Yeah, I know, right!?" Eros winked at him.
"But what if...!?"
"If you don't bid for her, one smelly old noble man is going to take her back home and..." Eros leaned in and whispered into his ear.
Penny had heard the conversation between the two of them.
However, she had not heard what Eros whispered into Dan's ear.
The only thing she knew was that after the whisper, Dan's eyes shut open and looked at the old man that had bid for her last, far off behind.
Instinctively, he raised his stood on his feet as he raised his bidding card, "ONE THOUSAND BRONZE COINS!"
"HUH!!?" that amount of money took the entire crowd by surprise.
Eros on the other hand could not help but burst into a hearty laugh.
However, the master of ceremonies immediately got hooked by that amount.
"That's one thousand bronze coins from the young man with silver hair! That's ten silver coins. Ten silver coins going once, going twice, and sold!"
*Bam* he hit the gavel hard.
The Centaur girl looked in Dan's direction. Both their eyes made contact, and then she immediately averted her gaze.
This made Dan realize what he had just done.
He removed his eyes from her, and his cheeks suddenly turned a good shade of red as immediately sat back down.
Eros patted his head.
"You did good boy!"
However, the nobles were already whispering amongst each other.
How couldn't they?
Many of them had come from different parts of the kingdom, all to curry favor with Viscount Peter.
This meant that they did incredible investigation about him and how to please him.
This naturally included the Barons under him.
Eros was so poor, that it was a wonder how the title of Baron had not been stripped from him a long time ago.
However, he had firstly made an incredible entrance with beautiful women, and then he had gifted the Viscount a pearl that was worthy of being an heirloom in the royal family, and then he had embarrassed a fellow Baron by actually gifting gold coins.
And right now, his grandaon was spending ten Silver coins on a mere Centaur girl.
Nobles were observant by nature.
They knew that Eros had not even so much as blinked when he gifted the Viscount the amount of money he did.
This meant that they was more to meet the eyes than they could see.
The Master of the Auction chuckled lightly, "ladies and gentlemen, we are off to a very good start. If you loved the Centaur, then you will definitely love what we have next!"
As he spoke, a cage with a muscular man with cat ears and a tail was brought forward.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, our affiliate guilds only hunt the best for you. This one might be more appealing to the ladies of the house, or maybe to some gents with very different taste buds. If you know what I mean," he winked at them, and the crowd chuckled lightly.
"The binding starts a bit different this time, at 500 bronze coins!"
"550"
"550 good! Do I hear a 600!?"
"600."
"600, to the gorgeous madam in the back. Do I hear a 750."
"800" someone else spoke.
"800, do I hear a 850. No! No 850!? 800 going once, going twice, SOLD to the gentleman in the back!"
Seeing that it was a man that finally bought the man, the crowd gave a round of applause.
"Next my dear men and women of sophistication, is a more spicy outlet to the taste. You see, these creatures are not so easy to capture, and they come from just next door. Because of very particular reasons we cannot disclose, the Medusas like their Sister tribe the Nagas cannot live for more than a few days out of the Snake Forest. Which means you only get a few days to enjoy them to your heart's content."
As he talked, the first Medusa was brought out in a cage.
The moment Shade saw her, she stood to her feet, " one hundred Silver coins!"
"HUH!!!" The crowd gasped.
