Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god.

Chapter 969: Reasons for the Auction

"You two, we're here!"

In front of a tightly closed heavy metal door in the corridor, which looked like a sealed door on a ship, the Siren Supervisor stopped, made a "please" gesture to Lin Yu and Siyue, and opened the heavy sealed door for them.

Lin Yu and Siyue stepped in, and in front of them was still a flat silver-white iron door.

The sealed door behind them slowly closed, and the seawater where the two were located slowly drained away and air was injected.

Lin Yu was a little surprised: "This place... is it actually an airlock?"

The iron door will not be opened until the seawater between the sealed door and the iron door is completely drained.

The two men took off their helmets and entered the private storage room.

In this private storage room...

It is indeed filled with air, not sea water!

The rows of display cabinets are even more densely packed than the bookcases and desks and chairs in the classrooms of large classes in key middle schools. Everything displayed on them is a collection that looks very valuable, and there are also many top-notch ingredients that have been preserved with advanced magic.

The two squeezed through the narrow aisle divided by display cases and arrived at the middle of the storage room.

Here, there is a low square table.

In front of the square table, there was a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged at the table. He was wearing a red brocade robe inlaid with gorgeous pearls and jewels. He looked so thin that he seemed a little withered.

Lin Yu and Siyue were both a little surprised when they saw this scene.

because……

This man has legs.

The Sirens have no legs - in Jingxu, the only races with legs are humans and sea dwellers.

So, April spoke with some uncertainty.

"May I ask if you are Haimu Zun?"

The skinny middle-aged man raised his head while holding onto the table. His dark eyes flickered from side to side before he spoke, "Of course, this is my private storage room... I don't have the habit of letting my servants in."

"I am Haimu Zun."

Compared with the previous Guyazun, Haimuzun’s self-introduction seems much simpler.

Siyue and Lin Yu's eyes fell on his legs again.

While April was still hesitating, Lin Yu had already asked the question directly.

"How did you manage to get the suffix 'Zun' among the Siren Clan when you have legs? This is exclusive to Siren nobles - aren't you a Siren?"

Not only his legs, but Haimu Zun's other physical features are also completely human.

Hai Mu Zun looked at Lin Yu, seemingly unsurprised by his question. "Of course, I am undoubtedly a pure-blooded siren, and a noble siren who inherited the bloodline of the Seven Surnames... You see me approaching humans now because my body was invaded by the accident where the artifacts in the ancient ruins went out of control."

"Legend has it that when the Lost Kingdom still existed, mermaids, murlocs, sirens, sirens, and naga were all one tribe, known as the Tail Tribe... Humans and underwater dwellers were also collectively referred to as the Human Tribe. And while the Sea Beast Tribe possessed intelligence, they weren't strictly distinguished from the Sea Tribe, and were all referred to as the Sea Tribe."

"The daughter of a prominent figure in the Tail Tribe fell in love with a young man from the Human Tribe. However, that young man only wanted to marry another Human. So, the daughter of the Tail Tribe leader used her parents' connections to have the Tail Tribe mages develop a device that would allow her to grow legs."

"This legend was originally hard to tell whether it was true or not. I also thought it was fake when I was young, until I was excavating some ruins... well, now I know it's true."

Listening to Hai Muzun's words, Lin Yu was a little surprised: "Oh, it's true... But doesn't the device have the side effect of making people lose their voice or turn into foam?"

Hai Mu Zun was a little surprised: "No, why do you ask?"

"Oh, there are some different versions among our human race. It is said that the girl of the Nawei tribe grew legs but lost her voice and finally turned into foam." Lin Yu shrugged. "These should be true legends. Just ignore what I said."

Hai Mu Zun shook his head, feeling somewhat pleased for some reason. “No, no, although most legends are fictional, there is truth hidden behind the fiction… This is a very interesting version, the first time I’ve heard of it. It’s really great that you can share a version with me that I haven’t heard of before.”

Hai Mu Zun, feeling relieved, leaned back slightly. "Two humans, Yayu and Siyue, right? I know you two are very eager to meet with me... My first impression of you is good, so let's talk directly. Are you looking for me mainly to sell or buy?"

"I know you possess a delicacy of the 'world's greatest' caliber, and you're also searching for 'lost treasures'... Which is more important to you? I need to know this before I can trade with you."

Haimu Zun asked directly.

Lin Yu was a little surprised when he heard the other party's words.

This guy is a very old-fashioned siren - casual, straightforward, focusing on motivation rather than results, and emphasizing position rather than identity.

He was the first guy who didn't seem to care that they were from the Middle Sea.

And there is no doubt that the Siren who was responsible for the notification at the auction house could not have failed to emphasize this point.

"Of course we hope to buy it. There's no shortage of buyers for that delicacy," Lin Yu responded with equal candor. "However, besides the 'Lost Treasure,' we'd actually like to buy another piece of your collection. I heard you're interested in selling... the 'Mermaid's Teardrops.'"

As Lin Yu spoke, Hai Muzun looked at him and Siyue again, and then spoke.

"I see. So you two are here for the Mermaid's Tears?"

"I do have this intention, but I plan to auction those."

Haimu Zun said.

April looked at Haimu Zun and said, "We'd like to conduct the transaction privately... After all, auctions are too uncertain, and we don't want the Mermaid Royal Family to know the identity of the 'buyer'. Another reason is that we have many interesting collections that you might be interested in. Rather than selling them first to earn currency and then purchasing the Mermaid's Teardrop, I think... perhaps we should show you what we have first to see if you're interested."

As April spoke, Haimu Zun shook his head.

"Then forget it. In my opinion, the Mermaid's Teardrop can only be auctioned off. I didn't just decide to sell it for money. I chose to do so because a public auction would infuriate the Mermaid Royal Family."

"I hate mermaids, especially the mermaid royal family. This Tidewalk Festival is a rare opportunity to anger them."

Haimu Zun said bluntly.

"Is that so," Lin Yu looked at Hai Mu Zun and laughed, "It looks like we will have a lot in common."

"Then, Lord Haimu... if you don't want to make a private transaction, could you please show me those [Mermaid Tears]?"
