I traveled to another world and became a princess kidnapped by a dragon

She's not that strong yet.

Sophia coughed slightly in embarrassment and said, "This, I know."

While talking, she turned her head to the side. Of course, when she moved her head to the side, she also reminded: "I said, Isabella, you, you must pay attention in the future, and you must pay attention when changing clothes. You This will have a bad influence." It is easy to provoke people to commit crimes, Sophia complained in her heart.

Isabella nodded with a smile and said: "Don't worry, I know. It's not that everyone is a woman, it's just me, and I pay attention to it outside." This guy completely forgot that before fighting, he often used It's about getting naked.

Isabella changed her clothes very quickly, and she changed her clothes in threes and fives.

After changing her clothes, Isabella said to Sophia, "Sister Sophia, let's go."

Sophia nodded.

Isabella said to Dietrich, "Do you want to go?"

Dietrich shook the book in her hand and said, "I won't go for now, I'd better stay and study hard, and you should pay more attention to yourself."

Isabella nodded and said, then picked up Christina who was lying on the bed and followed Sofia out.

Christina was the person she cared about the most, and she still didn't want to let her out of her sight.

Sophia looked at Christina in Isabella's arms and said, "You really like her, you really don't want to part for a moment."

Isabella looked at Christina who was moving in her arms with a smile and said, "Yeah, I like it very much, well, I think I might not be able to do without her." That's right, it's not Christina who really relies on her but Yi Sabella.

It was Isabella who couldn't do without Christina.

I don’t know if this is also a kind of Stockholm syndrome. Isabella doesn’t know when she developed this feeling, maybe after being rescued by Christina again and again, it was when Christina showed her After being strong, anyway, as long as Christina is by her side, Isabella will feel an indescribable sense of security.

"That's an exaggeration, but have you ever thought that one day you will have to separate?" Sophia said casually.

But this sentence made Isabella's heart tremble slightly, but Isabella recovered soon, she thought for a while and then said with a smile: "If... really Let’s talk about it then.”

Sophia glanced at Isabella, and then at Christina in her arms. She didn't say any more, but sighed softly.

She always felt that this kind of relationship seemed a little bad.

Coming out of the hotel, Sophia took Isabella into a carriage.After the two people got on the carriage, it started to move under the driver's driving.

After the carriage drove for a while, Isabella glanced outside through the window, and then asked Sophia: "Sister Sophia, where are we going?"

Isabella has also stayed in this city for a long time, and she has a certain understanding of this city. Therefore, judging from the way they have traveled so far, they should go to the central area, which is the upper area of ​​the city. It is an area where only powerful beings in this city can move freely.

Because Isabella doesn't like to deal with nobles very much, she doesn't come to this area very much, and she only came here a few times after receiving some missions at the beginning.

Sophia said with a slight smile: "Although this is a secret, there is no need to hide it from you. In fact, in this city, there is a secret auction house that is regularly held for the upper class. This auction house is not that kind. Regular auctions, so they are also called black market auctions, where things that are clearly prohibited by the state are usually sold here."

"Things that are clearly prohibited by the country?" Isabella frowned.

Sophia nodded and said: "For example, some precious magical materials, or rare monster materials, or rare slave monsters, etc. In the past, there were even auctions of slaves such as elves, beastmen, etc., but later, the Empire United The elves and orcs worked together to uproot the underground auction sites that dared to sell elves and orcs, so that everyone could understand what the bottom line was, so there was no auction of elf orc slaves. And slaves of other races had no auction value. , so now it is basically impossible to see slave auctions. Instead, there are some stolen goods of unknown origin and rare materials. In fact, this kind of black market auction is not only in Essos City, but also in all parts of the country , and it is managed uniformly, as for who is behind the black market auction, hehe, the legend is that the royal family is behind the manipulation of the black market auction, although it is a legend, it is basically clear."

Isabella was a little taken aback.

Sophia smiled mysteriously at Isabella and said, "Do you think it's strange why the country banned those things on the surface, and why did the royal family manipulate these black market auctions to make those things go out?"

Isabella nodded, she really felt very strange.

Sophia seemed a little casual and said: "You know? Sometimes the more prohibited things are, the more they can arouse people's desires. This is not only to prevent precious resources from leaving other countries, but also a marketing method. And The top management of the empire is very clear about one thing. Even if it is banned, it is absolutely impossible to prohibit clean transactions. Under the shadows, these transactions must also be prohibited. Thirty years ago, the empire’s black market auctions were not When the imperial family was under the control of the imperial family, various problems were endless. Although the empire spent a lot of means to remove them, these underground auctions still sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain, and soon revived again. Therefore, 30 years ago, the empire After further cleaning up the underground black market across the country, they secretly took over the power of those black market auctions and re-established the underground black market by themselves. Since it cannot be eradicated, it is better not to eradicate it, as long as it is under control. That's good. And the effect is remarkable. The underground black market not only brought unexpected tax revenues to the empire, but also put an end to many things that had caused headaches for the empire before, and also greatly reduced expenses. It can be said that Counts in one fell swoop.”

After hearing this, Isabella swallowed and said, "These...these should be secrets, right? Is it really okay to tell me?"

Sophia smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Although this seems to be a secret, in fact, basically everyone with a little bit of status knows this. Everyone just keeps silent. You can know it yourself. By the way, You don’t want to talk about it everywhere, after all, it’s not made public, and if the empire finds it out, it’s still not good for you.”

Isabella is not a fool, of course she will not talk nonsense, she is well aware of how terrifying the state machine is, and she has no idea of ​​confronting the state machine, especially such a behemoth as the Caesar Empire.

But Isabella couldn't figure out one question. She frowned and asked, "I'm curious. Since everyone knows that this is controlled by the imperial family, why are you still here? Are you not afraid of the difficulty? Wouldn’t it be troublesome if the higher-ups track it down?”

"Hahaha, even though this is the case, there are really good things in it. With the empire cracking down on other black market transactions, and there are good things here, everyone will still choose to come here even if they have concerns. , Moreover, sometimes the upper echelon of the empire is also the guarantee of quality, at least you don't have to be afraid of being cheated."

Isabella nodded knowingly.

While Isabella was chatting with Sophia, the carriage stopped, and the voice of the driver came from outside.

"Miss, we have arrived."

"Understood." Sophia responded, and then took out two things from the small bag on the side and handed them to Isabella.

"Bring this." Sophia said to Isabella.

Isabella took a look at what Sophia handed over.

It was a masquerade-like mask and a metal sign.

There is nothing to say about the masquerade mask, but the metal plate is different. It has extremely complicated patterns on it, and it also has a special magical atmosphere. Obviously, this brand is not only a brand, but also a magic item.

"This is?" Isabella looked at the thing in her hand and asked suspiciously.

Sophia said: "This is the membership certificate of the underground auction. It is an extra piece of mine. I have replaced the above information with yours. Only with this brand can you enter the auction. Tell you where to go to find the registration place of the black market auction, and I will not be by your side at that time, and you can operate it yourself."

Isabella nodded and said sincerely, "Thank you, Sister Sophia."

Sophia laughed and said: "You don't have to thank us, which one of us is with whom, haha, if you really thank me, you can go to my side more often, you girl, you don't know where to go when you are free. "While speaking, Sophia looked at Isabella with some resentment.

Isabella smiled awkwardly and said, "In the future, I will definitely, in the future."

Chapter 180 Three Auctions

Getting off the carriage, Isabella found that the carriage was parked at the entrance of a very inconspicuous building.

There are not only the carriages of Isabella and Sophia, but also many other carriages.

But after these people got off the carriage, the grooms of these carriages left here quickly.

Isabella glanced at the people who got out of the car. There were men and women, but they all wore masks in common. Not all of them wore masquerade masks, anyway, there were all kinds of masks.

It seems that this is either a regulation or everyone wants to hide their identities.

After all, it is an underground auction, so these people probably have taboos.

There was no greeting among the people, and they basically walked into the building without saying a word.

Sophia whispered to Isabella: "Let's go too."

Isabella nodded.

Since Isabella was not familiar with the place where she was born, she followed Sophia closely at that time.

Isabella followed Sofia into the building. In contrast to the unremarkable exterior of the building, the interior of the building was simply extraordinarily luxurious.

Isabella was shocked by this huge gap.

The decoration inside is absolutely no less than the interior decoration of any palace.

After all, Isabella was once a princess of a kingdom. She had never seen other palaces and palaces. She also knew the palaces of the Kingdom of Belem. This place was definitely comparable to the decoration of the royal palace of the Kingdom of Belem.

Isabella sighed in her heart, a big country is a big country, but it is different.

After Isabella and Sophia entered the building, a young man dressed in a tuxedo, who looked like a servant butler and wore a masquerade mask covering half of his face, came over.

The young man said respectfully to Sophia and Isabella: "Miss, please show your membership certificate."

Sophia took out the same metal plate that was given to Isabella and showed it to the young man. The young man took it and looked at it, and then respectfully handed the metal plate to Sophia.

Isabella also took out the metal plate calmly.

The young man had the same result, looked at it, and respectfully returned it to Isabella.

The young man showed a professional smile and said, "Two young ladies, please come with me. I have prepared a room just for you."

Sophia nodded.

Then the whole young man led Sophia and Isabella towards the side.

The young man took Sophia and Isabella upstairs, and brought them to a door.

The young man said respectfully: "Two distinguished ladies, if you have any needs, just press the bell on the table, and there will be dedicated personnel to serve you, and can meet any needs."

Sophia nodded and said, "Well, I see, you can go down."

The young man bowed respectfully, and then withdrew.

Sophia swiped the metal card in front of the magic circle in front of the door, just like swiping the door card in another world, the magic circle was automatically released, and then the door opened.

Isabella was no longer surprised.

As I said before, this world has a magical civilization, and its upper limit is very high, and even some fields are far beyond the other world, such as medical treatment, not to mention saving the living, it is to resurrect the dead, as long as the conditions It can be achieved.Not to mention some other aspects, but whether these things are for the nobles and the rich, the lower class citizens cannot enjoy these things, and they cannot afford these expenses, precisely because of their high cost and high consumption , so many things cannot be popularized,

Isabella followed Sophia into the room.

This is a place similar to a private room, not very big, it can only accommodate eight or nine people. Of course, for only two people, this space is still very large.

The room is a bit dark, but the faint luminous stone keeps it from being dark. The light is soft and makes people feel quite comfortable. There is a small bell on the table, and there are many foods, such as snacks, fruits, drinks, etc. On both sides of the table are It is a two-row sofa that is very soft at first glance.

On the other side, Isabella noticed a large wall made of transparent glass. She walked over and was a little surprised, because the other side of the glass was facing a large hall.

There are many people in the hall, all wearing masquerade masks, sitting there facing the stage.

Sophia also walked in front of Isabella, and she had already taken off the mask on her face at this time.

Sophia smiled and said: "That's the auction venue. This time, because of the attack of the Dark Council last time, many families were hit hard. Many families took out a lot of under-the-box items to relieve the pressure. Things, I took a look, there are many good things, if you want something, you can also take pictures. Money is not a problem, your sister and I have plenty."

Isabella was stunned for a moment: "We can also bid in the room?" Seeing Sophia taking off the mask, Isabella took it off herself.

Sophia nodded and said: "Of course, this box was originally prepared for bidding. If you are interested in anything, you can click the button over there, and then say your quotation to it. .”

Isabella took a look, and sure enough, she saw a red button on the glass.

Isabella nodded and sighed again, this place is really advanced.Although she may not necessarily photograph something.

Since the auction has not officially started yet, Isabella was attracted by the food on the table after looking at it.

She just got up and hasn't eaten yet, so she is a little hungry now.

Seemingly aware that Isabella's eyes wandered to the food on the table, Sophia said with a smile: "These are all you can eat, if you don't have enough, you can order more, um, just eat at ease, it's free."

Isabella widened her eyes and said in surprise, "Really?"

Sophia nodded and said, "Really."

"Then I'm welcome."

Isabella smiled and sat down on the sofa and began to eat.

Well, the dim sum tastes good, the fruit is also very fresh, and the juice is also good, sweet and sour.

Well, the enjoyment of the nobles is really good. If you buy these things, the price is quite expensive, and I am afraid that ordinary people will not be able to eat them for a lifetime.

Damn rich, hateful aristocrats.While enjoying the delicious food on the table, Isabella slandered inwardly, completely forgetting that she was also a nobleman, no, it should be said that she was a royal family.

Of course, Isabella never treated herself as a royal family.

And as her from another world, people are equal, so she can't understand the kind of noble lord who thinks of herself as superior.

Sophia looked at Isabella's pretentious appearance with a smile in her eyes.

She would care so much about Isabella, although it was indeed because of Isabella's appearance and temperament that she was attracted at first, but in the subsequent relationship, she really cared about Isabella as her own because of Isabella Bella is a very real person, she has her own principles, and she never shy away from her likes and dislikes. Although she is smart and cautious, she is inherently clumsy, lazy and casual.

That cute temperament always makes her feel uneasy.

Noticing that Sophia was staring at her, she mistakenly thought that she wanted to eat it too, so Isabella handed over the cake in her hand and swallowed the fruit in her mouth and said, "Sister Sophia, you can eat some too. It's so early, aren't you hungry?"

Seeing Isabella's serious expression, Sophia smiled lightly and said, "No, I'm not hungry, you can eat."

Isabella said with some seriousness: "You should eat something. Breakfast is very important to a person. If you often skip breakfast, it will affect digestion, affect thinking, affect physical health, and make you mentally unstable. Concentration, affects mood, causes depression, and accelerates aging, Barabara..." Isabella murmured a lot, all of which she acquired in her previous life, and finally said, "So, you'd better eat something."

Seeing Isabella, Sophia said dumbfoundedly, "It makes you feel like you're going to die if you don't eat breakfast."

Isabella smiled and said, "Haha, whether it's true or not, it's better to eat something."

"Okay, you've said so much, if you don't eat some, I'm sorry for your concern." While smiling, Sophia took the cake that Isabella just took a bite of, and Isabella Bella handed over the juice.

If someone who knew Sophia was here, she would be shocked. After all, Sophia would not eat food that others have touched, let alone food that others have touched.

While Isabella and Sophia were enjoying their food, the lights in the hall outside suddenly went out, and then the lights on the stage came on.

Sophia put down the half-eaten cake and said to Isabella, "The auction has begun."

Isabella nodded, then swallowed the food in her mouth, licked her fingers and said, "Let me see what the auction here looks like."

A handsome blond middle-aged man in gentleman's clothing walked onto the stage from below with a smile. He glanced around and said loudly, "Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to this auction."

The middle-aged man stood on the stage and said some routine opening remarks, but the host also knew that everyone came here for the auction items, so he quickly ended his words and announced directly The auction begins.

"Thinking about it, everyone can't wait to see the items in this auction, and I won't say anything official to offend you, haha, this time, everyone will definitely not return empty-handed, this time the auction will be scary It is unprecedented since the establishment of the underground auction in Essos, not only in the number of auctions, but also in the value of the auctions. As for the reason, everyone knows it, well, in a sense The rats of the Dark Council have done a good thing, at least, they have given many rare treasures buried in those families a chance to reappear." The host said with a smile.

The people below also laughed.
