Chapter 65 - Auction Hall

The man was suddenly frightened and replied instantly, "Y-yes! I will take you to the Royal Library!"

And after saying this he drove the wagon at a much faster rate towards the library.

"Finally, I think I will be able to know how all the 12 companions of mine lived, fought and died..."

The carriage was being driven quite fast and now they had entered another city after which they would be heading towards the royal library which contained many historic details from thousands of years ago.

Rex was a bit tired and was lying in the wagon to rest his body a bit. Bandis and Zor were chatting with each other about something which Rex didn't mind much.

He was almost asleep when he realised that one of his crests was reacting to something.

"Weird... why is it becoming so unstable right now?"

Rex was feeling some abnormal energy from the city which they had just entered. It was called the city of Rhuio one of the largest cities in the kingdom.

The famous thing about the city was that it had the greatest adventurer hall of the entire continent and one of the largest auction house.

Rex want being impatient but he was damn curious about the Royal Library so he didn't want to visit any place in this city at least that's what the plan was but after feeling the reaction of the red Crest that belonged to the red dragon, he felt as if there was something important job to do in the city.

"Stop!", he asked calmly to the couchman who was already frightened from earlier.

He immediately stopped since he couldn't possibly disobey Rex or the others.

"Master? Is something wrong?"

Bandis and Zor looked towards Rex as they asked this but Rex didn't reply to them. It was as if he was in his own world thinking about something.

"Did the Crest get deactivated or what?", was one question that was bothering him.

But it was impossible since he had sealed them with 7 different layers so the seals couldn't have been lifted on their own.

"Hmm... I guess there is something here that is making the Crest panic..."

'L' rank Crest that is the Legendary Rank Crest we're not normal by any means. Those were the highest ranking Crest that could be formed and has tremendous amount of buffs and powers including abnormal abilities.

However the most unique feature of these crests which Rex realised was that these crests were alive. They weren't like the other crests that one given didn't change and remained with owner forever.

These crests could evolve with its owner and grow depending upon the owner's power. It was the same when the user was weak they too would get weakened.

Also they had their own wills and out of them the red dragon's will was trapped inside the Crest. It was trying to cause a commotion and was trying to be freed from the seals that Rex had placed earlier.

But his seals were too strong for it to break and on top of that it could even vanish if it exerts too much force so it calmed down immediately.

But this made Rex restless. He used his mana sense and divine vision to scan the whole city while expecting to find something extremely important.

In the end he couldn't find much about it but he felt some traces of ancient magic towards the north area.

"Um, can you take us towards the north?"

The coachman immediately nodded and asked a question too.

"Are you going to the auction house?"

"Auction?"

The man immediately nodded again and said, "Yes! There is an auction hall ahead where you can buy many rare items! Even slaves are auctioned there."

Rex was happy when he heard about the items but was sad at the same time because of the slavery.

Slavery was deemed to be right in this world and no one specifically objected it. Even king Alexander who is Rex's father didn't think much about it.

Many noble families and other rich men had many slaves who were abused and killed at a very large scale.

Rex didn't want this since this could also lead a prosperous kingdom to its downfall.

"Sigh... slavery..."

The coachman wasn't able to understand the reason for Rex's expression.

"Anyway, take me to that place."

The man nodded his head yet again and start driving the carriage towards the auction hall which was no more than 6000 meters away.

After 10-20 minutes they arrived near the auction hall which was greatly decorated. It seemed as if some amazing item was going to be shown today and to see that many rich men had come in their grand wagons.

The wagon in which Rex was traveling was a normal commoner class wagon which didn't have much decoration or unique features.

When rexngot down from it, the people who came in a bigger wagon looked down on him.

Bandis got angered easily and wanted to punch their faces but thanks to Rex restricting him, he stopped and calmed down himself.

"So this is the Great Auction hall..."

It somewhat looked like a colosseum but that was only the outside view. Inside it was very big and was somewhat similar to a theatre of the modern world where the seats were arranged with numbers on them and the items and slaves were presented on the stage.

Fortunately Rex had arrived a bit early since the auction was going to start within 40 minutes.

First of all, one had to take a ticket as a ID for entry. Those who were very rich, got VIP passes and went ahead directly.

It was soon Rex turn who had waited in the line for quite sometime.

"Next..."

The receptionist looked up and found that it was some man wearing a tattered robe. His height was not that great nor the body build up was seen so she judged him to be some poor beggar.

"Excuse me, I guess you might have come to wring place."

Rex looked at her and asked, "Isn't this the auction hall?"

The lady nodded her head after seeing which he immediately replied by said, "Then I have come to the right place."

The lady was dumbfounded and immediately said in an arrogant tone, "This is no place for beggars! You need to have at least 1000 gold coins to enter!"

The lady smirked while saying this since she expected him to not have even a 10 silver coins.

"So? I have more than that. I qualify to enter then...", Rex answered back with politeness.

The girl didn't believe him and immediately asked the guards to chase him away when suddenly Bandis flashed a bag to her and trashed it on the table on which she was working.

The bag tore and it had many gold coins rolling out of it.

Bandis immediately said, "Is this enough proof? Can we go?" Immeditely after saying this all three of them move and enter the auction hall entrance.

The girl was completely baffled to see someone just throwing away one whole thousand gold coins just like that as if it had no value.

She and some more people started a small commotion in order to collect the money.

It was full of chaos for sometime. But suddenly everything called down when a certain individual made her appearance.

A blonde haired girl wearing armour entered elegantly and walked straight towards the auction entrance.

Everyone of them were baffled by her beauty and her elegant way of walking. They even forgot any reasoning and didn't care about the gold coins anymore.

"M-miss Emilia has arrived!", a butler from the back announced that with full vigour and all of them backed off while giving way to her.

Just as she entered the door she said just one thing, "Trash..."

She went and chose a seat and sat down on it immediately. The butler came after her and asked, "What happened your highness? Were you dissatisfied?"

"Of course! The people outside were complete trash! There was no one worth my time...", she seemed a bit arrogant but whatever she told was indeed true.

She turned her gazes here and there when she suddenly found Rex.

"Eh...? W-who is that boy!!?"

The butler immediately looked that way and tried to figure out the person who was being mentioned by Emilia.

Rex sat down at the same moment and Zor did the same. The only one who was standing was Bandis.

"Huh? That middle aged man caught the young princess's attention?"

It was rather odd since he was thinking something else.

"Don't tell me... the princess is into older men!!?"

But it was Rex whom she was looking at earlier. For some reason she felt different kind of feeling when she saw him.

"That was... wierd..."

Emilia has the blessing of the Goddess of light due to which she can see the light that is emitted by a person. She is able to see the exact colours but for Rex, nothing was visible at least that's what she thought!

But never would have she imagined that the Rex's light was COLOURLESS!
