CH 116

: Gehena Auction House (2)

Mana was felt in the device that restrained the elves' limbs. It was an artifact that sealed power.

Elves are a powerful race. As well as magic, his friendliness with spirits was incomparable to humans.

In fact, it was close to impossible to capture an elf with human power, but there were cases where that was the case.

"Elves often overlook the tricks of humans."

Mostly young elves.

He believes in his own power and thinks that humans are nothing. I can understand. Even when they reach adulthood, any talented human being has the ability to steam up.

And humans understand the habits of elves better than anyone. In particular, hunters specializing in heterogeneous races knew more about elves than elves.

All you need is some taunts and traps.

The young elves couldn't stand the insults and tried to punish humans, which was what humans wanted.

The captured elves were turned into slaves and exhibited at these secret auction houses as they are now.

Hmm.

Because of the mask, Siegfried's expression could not be seen well, but only the atmosphere could tell that he felt uncomfortable.

He was also a slave. He knows better than anyone how slaves are treated.

Especially if it's an elf slave.

Because they were the most beautiful race in the world.

"The starting price is 100,000 gold!"

10 million gold.

It was a huge amount of money that was about the cost of operating a small estate for a year.

It was an exorbitant amount to charge a slave, but if the slave was an elf, it would be a different story.

"Shall we try raising it by 5,000?"

The moderator's voice looks happy.

To the extent that the smiling clown's mask is actually his original face.

As soon as the moderator finished speaking, he began to raise bid signs in various places.

Wow! fifteen thousand! this much! Twenty-five thousand! I can't! I will raise it to 50,000!"

Still, the pickets continued to rise.

"400,000! 450,000!"

100 million. 200 million.

The bids are rising at a staggering rate.

The pigs struggled to obtain the rarest elf slaves.

Jamie didn't like the sight very much.

But that's where the secret auction is in the first place. So I thought I would keep my eyes closed until this bidding was over.

" ."

Then I saw a man and a woman who were sitting diagonally across from the scent of the forest. Exactly, it was a woman. His shoulders were trembling and he looked angry.

The man rubbed the woman's shoulder and gave her a warm hug.

'Are you a real elf?'

I was only skeptical, but seeing that reaction, I thought it would be weird if I wasn't an elf.

'You want to save them?'

Seeing his people endure even when they are subjected to such cruelty, it seems that he has quite a bit of patience.

'Maybe he's grasping reality.'

It is true that the elves are strong, but the security guards stationed here were quite talented in Jamie's eyes.

In particular, a black man in a black suit is watching from the second floor railing.

His muscles that were about to explode were so great that he could not hide them with his clothes.

'Master Class.'

He is trying to capture his strength as much as possible, but his surroundings are distorted by powerful power.

Judging by the public eye, it was clear that Beiryl Onyx, called the swordsman of the gale, was on the same level as the strong man.

I don't know how big that elf is, but unless it's definitely not a master class, I'm only going to get killed if I jump on it.

Wow! 4.3 million gold!! Any more?!"

The moderator looked around the audience with excitement.

No one lifted a picket.

The presenter exclaimed in a voice full of excitement.

"Winning bid!!"

earth earth-

"Good."

The voice of an old man who had won an elf slave was heard from behind. Seeing her voice trembled slightly, it looked like it was overkill.

'It's like a pig.'

Jamie chuckled and rolled her eyes to see the woman who was supposed to be an elf. She, too, glanced at where the winning bidder's voice was heard, and her eyes through the mask were clearly full of anger.

Then our eyes met Jamie, and he naturally turned his head back to normal. Did he think he didn't know because he was wearing a mask, or was he trying to hide his embarrassment?

Either way, Jamie continued to care about her.

"Let's see the next thing!"

Next were beautiful ornaments, said to have been treasured by the last princess of a kingdom that existed 4,000 years ago.

He added that the fact that it did not rust even after a long time was thanks to the fact that it was made of special metal.

I was only interested in it, and it wasn't interesting, so I turned it off.

After that, several more auctions appeared on the stage, all of which were useless.

But for the next one, Jamie had no choice but to focus.

"The next item is said to be harder to find than picking a star in the sky! Do you all know Shadow Sheep?!"

At the word of the shadow sheep, the surroundings became noisy.

Siegfried, who was watching the auction with a bored face, also corrected his posture.

"It is our turn. I almost got tired of waiting."

In fact, Siegfried's neck was slightly locked.

It looked like he had just fallen asleep.

"How much did your grandmother give you?"

"I didn't pay much."

"So?"

"It's a blank check."

The ultimate banknote standing at the pinnacle of money that becomes money as much as you write it down!

Wow.

"Aren't you very surprised?"

"I have no sense of reality."

"It is so. It was the first time I ever received a blank check."

Siegfried chuckled and laughed.

If it was enough to give him a blank check, it seemed that Kiriel was really desperate.

So, it must have disrupted the contract of the soul.

"This item is the heart of the Shadow Sheep!"

The helper carefully opened the box, revealing a beautiful marble that looked like the Milky Way.

A series of brief exclamations followed.

The shadow sheep is a beast that is no less than a spirit. Naturally, the heart was different from the biological heart.

To be honest, it would be closer to a dragon heart than a real heart.

"I think everyone gathered here knows the scarcity value of the shadow sheep. So the starting price of the auction is... Let's start with 1 million gold!"

Even elf slaves had a starting price of 100,000 gold.

10 times that amount.

But that wasn't the end.

"I will not set a bid price. Please feel free to call me."

The moment the host said that with a smile.

"Three million."

"Three hundred and fifty thousand."

"Five million."

"Six hundred."

seven hundred.

"Ten thousand."

It jumped tenfold from 1 million gold in an instant.

The bids went up at a staggering pace.

It was an unreasonable surge that made me wonder if some force was manipulating the bid, but it was possible with the heart of the Shadow sheep.

Siegfried muttered, stroking his chin under the mask.

"Hmm. Is the competition very fierce?"

"Gyeongdo should participate."

right. But it's not fun to just participate."

"What else do you mean?"

Jamie sometimes didn't know what Siegfried was thinking, and that's it now.

Siegfried said.

"Confucius is still young, so he may not know."

"What?"

"How exhilarating it is to set the mood."

what kind of bullshit is that?

But it didn't take long to find out what the bullshit was.

"Four thousand and three hundred!"

"Four thousand three hundred and twenty!"

"Four thousand three hundred and twenty-five!"

When it crossed 40 million gold, the increase in bids sharply decreased as people became burdened.

In a situation where everyone was raising their bids as if throwing jaljal, Siegfried finally lifted the sign.

1 million.

There was silence in the auction house.

The host, who was dancing on the stage with excitement, also looked at Siegfried with a sloppy posture.

Then he came to his senses and faithfully performed his duty.

"Can you tell me again?"

1 million.

Siegfried said it again without hesitation.

Suddenly the price more than doubled.

Those who competed fiercely in the 40 million gold band could no longer lift the picket.

100 million gold was such an amount.

"It came out to be 1,100 million. Do you have any more?"

there can be no more

No matter how much the shadow sheep's heart had, there was no pig that would invest 100 million gold.

Jamie looked at Siegfried with a tired face. Although hidden by a mask, he must have been smiling very happily by now.

"Isn't 100 million too much?"

"Because I told you to use whatever you want."

The more I looked at Siegfried, the more certain he was crazy.

* * *

The heart of the shadow sheep was won by Siegfried.

It was so natural.

"Are you going to quit?"

"I want to see more."

There's still a lot of excitement left.

He said it was obviously going to be in a secret auction. If he doesn't come out, he will find the man who lied to him and turn him into a body that can neither die nor live.

Of course, that person would have done nothing wrong.

Whether or not he knew Jamie had such a terrible thought, Siegfried replied indifferently.

"Then it is. The ugly side of humans takes a long time to get used to."

That's a valid word.

Of course, Jamie has seen too much of the ugliness of these secret auctions, to the point of getting tired of them.

This place is like a kid's play area.

'When will my shingi come out?'

Perhaps the auction will come to an end soon.

So Siegfried was also obediently allowed to watch.

A few more things passed.

Except for the heart of the elf slave and the shadow sheep, all were expensive jewels.

The ancient fossils were interesting, but that's about it.

"Huh. Can't you just stop? I'm a little tired.

"What are you tired of?"

"You know how hard it is to bid? How my heart was pounding when I sang 100 million gold."

Siegfried's heart rate has been beating steadily since before he came here.

Siegfried coughed as Jamie looked at him coldly.

"Of course, as an adult, I have no intention of ignoring a child's request."

He turned his gaze back to the stage.

A beautiful necklace was sold for 80,000 gold.

After listening to 100 million gold, 80,000 gold felt like money stuck in my nose.

That was then.

"This item is 'presumed' to be worth more than the Heart of the Shadow Sheep at today's auction. Bring it to me!"

The men pulled out a large box with several seals on it.

Jiying-

Perfect Cell vibrates.

Jamie put her hand on the Perfect Cell to put it to sleep. He didn't take his eyes off the box with a nervous look on his face.

"Open it, please."

At the instructions of the moderator, a man placed a stone infused with strong magical powers on the box.

Then, the stacked sealing magic began to break one after another.

"I don't know who it is, but a great wizard has locked it down."

Siegfried was also slightly admiring whether he recognized the sealing magic.

And when the box was fully opened, a brilliant stone of five colors appeared in a small stone block.

Everyone was attracted to her beautiful appearance.

The presenter exclaimed with an excited voice with his left arm outstretched.

"Open! The ultimate stone! All Might!"

Jamie's eyes widened under the mask as the name was mentioned.

'How do you name it?!'

An artifact with the power of 'absolute defense' among the three new gods created by Diablo Volfir.

However, Diablo, who sensed defeat in the battle with the 12 gods, scattered them all over the world in order not to be deprived of the three gods.

As a result, all the gods wandered around the world without even losing their names.

Obviously it should have been.

No one should have known the name.

When Jamie was distracted by embarrassment, the moderator started bidding.

"The starting price is 3 million gold!"

It was a great starter, but no one picked up a picket.

He just mumbled with a bewildered face.

It was natural. Because it was just a beautiful stone from the outside. No one who knows its value will, I guarantee, exist in this auction house.

The moderator also added with a smile, whether he expected such a situation.

"By the way, this is the ultimate stone."

Everyone pricks their ears and listens.

"A large amount of energy has been condensed that can sustain the Saint-Dermain level for more than 10 years."

"Ten thousand!"

"Twenty million!"

"Forty million!"

"Fifty million!"

A huge energy source capable of rolling the Great Territory for 10 years is hidden in that small stone.

The people gathered at the Gehena auction house were all the owners of one estate, or only the rich people who were widely known in the kingdom or continent.

They knew the value of energy better than anyone.

It was incomparable to the time of the Heart of the Shadow Lamb.

"130 million!"

"150 million!"

Bids continue to soar.

Jamie couldn't remain perplexed.

It didn't matter how they knew the name. You'll find out later.

Now I had to somehow get that stone back in this hand.

"Two billion!"

"200 million!"

It quickly crossed the 2 billion mark.

It was at that moment when the absurd amount resounded to the point of being insane.

There are many crazy people in the world besides Siegfried.

"500 million!"

A woman's cry.

The voices that had exceeded 200 million were silent in an instant.

Siegfried was also shocked by the 500 million won, so he looked at where the woman was.

There, a woman with voluminous pink hair up to her waist stood vigorously holding a picket.

Jamie saw her and smiled under the mask.

it was bena
