Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

When the host said this, there was warm cheers and applause in the hall. Some people also whistled at the girls in the iron cages, but the girls looked dazed and did not respond.

Herbert sat up straight. Long-distance communication?

Although Capet already had this technology, it had always been controlled by the military, and ordinary nobles could not use it at all. But Anjou actually sold this technology directly?

It seems that Anjou is more short of money than he thought. After all, there is a big gap in productivity between Anjou and Capet. If he wants to raise enough money amid internal conflicts, he must use some special means.

The host on the stage continued his introduction. He picked up a stick and poked the nearest caged girl, saying, "These girls are absolutely loyal and will only serve you in their lives. However, loyalty has its price. They may not be that smart, and the long-distance communication function must be used in conjunction with your extraordinary magic."

Then, the host moved closer to the caged girl and asked, "Hello, hello, hello? Sir Cassius, can you hear me?"

After saying that, the host took out a dagger and cut off the ears of the girl in the cage. He also inserted an iron skewer into the girl's ears and stirred them. Then he held the bloody skewer high up to signal to the audience that the girl could no longer hear.

The girl seemed to have no sense of pain and just let the blood flow. She looked at the audience in the cage with lifeless eyes, and the audience burst into warm cheers.

Even Herbert was a little dazed for a moment. Herbert felt that although the scene was a bit bizarre, the reaction of the audience in the stands was even more bizarre and even more wrong.

Originally, he thought that as an old noble, he should have been accustomed to such bizarre scenes, but now Herbert suddenly felt a little disgusted with the scene before him.

Herbert suddenly understood why the Governor hated the old nobles so much. It turned out that from the perspective of "normal people", the behavior of these old nobles was so disgusting?

At this time, the lights flickered and gathered on Cassius on another high tower. There was also a girl beside Cassius. The girl was imitating the host's words and said, "Hello, hello? Sir Cassius, can you hear me?"

Cassius responded to the caged girl beside him, "Of course! Own the caged girl, own the future life!"

The light returned to the still bleeding caged girl next to the host. The host used amplification magic to come to the girl's side, and then listened to the girl repeating the words from Cassius, saying: "Of course! Own the caged girl, own the future life!"

The lively girl was like a cold machine, completely ignoring the pain in her body, but even imitating the tone of voice perfectly.

"Ahhhh!"

"Long live Anjou!"

The nobles present burst into warm applause.

This performance still has many loopholes, but it doesn't matter to the nobles present. Even if they do nothing, these nobles will believe that the communication function of these caged girls is real.

After all, this auction was in a sense guaranteed by the king.

The girl in the cage whose ear was completely destroyed left the stage, and the host pushed more girls in cages to the front.

"Two thousand gold shield coins!"

"No, five thousand gold shield coins!"

"Eight thousand!"

The auction of the first caged girl had already driven the nobles into a frenzy.

Herbert fumbled with the ring in his hand and shouted out his offer.

When the auction was over, Herbert got on the carriage with his "trophies".

Fortunately, in addition to the activity funds approved by the Governor, Herbert also had funds supported by his family, otherwise he would not have been able to get this girl who was enthusiastically bid for by the nobles.

Each of these caged girls has a unique pressing method. If others want to contact you, they only need to press their own caged girl using the unique pressing method to achieve communication - in fact, it is a human phone.

The girl next to her was still wearing revealing and sexy clothes, but her eyes were lifeless, like a dull doll.

“Can you hear me?”

Herbert tried to ask the girl next to him, and the girl nodded silently after a long time.

"What's your name?"

After waiting for a long time, the girl in front of him said slowly: "Girl in the cage, try type two."

Herbert asked several more questions but found that he could not get to the point. No wonder the other party wanted to sell this technology for money. It seemed that they were not worried at all that the girls in the cages would leak the secret.

The girl in the cage can conduct simple question-answering and communication, but is very dull. Her intelligence in answering some questions even remains at the child's level. She can only carry out simple following and daily activities.

After that, it became a trend among the Angevin nobles to bring their caged girls to various parties or to stroll on the streets with their caged girls.

Herbert has been looking for an opportunity to leave Anjou, but recently Herbert seems to have attracted a lot of attention because of his purchase of the girl in the cage, so Herbert decided to continue lurking in Anjou for a while.

"As expected of Sir Herbert, he is really generous. I also want to buy one for fun, but unfortunately my wife won't allow it."

A noble who introduced the factory to Herbert followed Herbert to the factory area and kept circling around the girl that Herbert bought.

"I heard that these girls have more fun playing than ordinary people. Is that true?"

Looking at the lewd smile on the nobleman's face, Herbert could only smile politely and respond with an expression that said "you know".

But at this moment, a worker who had been watching from a distance suddenly came to Herbert and stared closely at the beautifully dressed girl in the cage beside Herbert.

"Sarah! Is that you Sarah?"

The guards immediately stopped the two workers, who were covered in dirt and dust, but the worker kept shouting, "Sarah, do you remember me? I'm your father!"

The worker looked excited and shouted to Herbert:

"Sir, this noble sir, this is my daughter!"

The nobleman who was following Herbert immediately ordered the guards: "Throw this thing away, don't spoil Mr. Herbert's fun!"

Herbert had a blank expression on his face. He estimated that the origins of these girls in cages were not clean. However, when the girls in cages heard this name, there seemed to be some fluctuation in their eyes. Herbert felt that he had long been tired of this kind of drama. Would the next scene not be some clichéd father-daughter recognition plot?

But at this moment, the worker said, "Sir, this noble sir, those people clearly said they would give us two silver coins, but in the end they only gave us a few copper coins. Sir, please be kind and give us a little more money for Sarah's sake!"

"..."

"Wine, wine is fine! Master, for Sarah's sake, give me some wine!"

The girl in the cage still had a dead look on her face, but her eyes seemed to be a little moist.

"Give them two silver leaf coins."

For some reason, Herbert suddenly hoped that some clichéd plot of a father and daughter recognizing each other could be staged now.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

After getting the money, the worker left happily, but he did not leave towards the factory, but towards the pub. Or maybe not necessarily the pub, but maybe the casino next to the pub?
