For some inexplicable reason, Zaroth was hit with a powerful wave of déjà vu.
Long were the days gone when he thought that he was rich or even well-off. If the opening ceremony of the auction house started with ten thousand of gold coins per slave, then he could only imagine how much the most expensive ones were worth.
He had been skeptical when Zoe told him the elf hadn't been sold yet because it was too expensive. But now, he was reluctantly starting to believe her.
Even if it was a member of another race, one would need to have a vast amount of funds for it, and even fewer would part with their money to do so.
At this point, he wouldn't be surprised to learn that the elf was worth more than a million gold coins.
Which raised the question: his persona, Ghost, had a bounty on his head of a million gold coins, so was Zaroth more valuable than the elf? Now the question began to dawn on him.
