: Gehena Auction House (3)
All Might.
When Diablo Volfir created it, he nicknamed it 'The Unbreakable Roar'.
A stone that neutralizes all physical power. Just possessing it increases your defense, and the moment you activate the artifact, it becomes almost invincible only in terms of physical strength.
Together with the Perfect Cell, it was the ultimate artifact that had a profound impact on making Diablo Volfir impeccable.
It was not something to be used as a source of energy in the territory.
'Are there any competitors?'
All those gathered here belonged to the upper classes, but no one was able to raise a picket recklessly.
500 million gold was such money.
Daeyoung, such as His, had a one-year operating cost of just over 100 million gold.
Considering that Heis is a manor that dominates the eastern part of the Kingdom of Seldam, there were not many realities with a similar level in the whole world.
But five times that. A large sum of money that could have rolled hiss for 5 years was only bid for that beautiful stone.
" Aside from the large barrel, this one is a little."
Siegfried didn't seem to understand either.
It is said that it has the power to supply Daeyeongji's energy for 10 years, but in that case, it is better to use an energy source with good cost performance at a low price.
If it was simply a concentrated energy source, Siegfried's idea would have been justified.
Even the Archmage, who reigned as a genius before Jamie, could not appreciate the true value of All Might just by looking at it.
'I'll get it easily... .'
That was the moment Jamie thought about.
"500 million."
someone said so
In the silent auction house, that voice echoed in my ears so clearly.
Jamie unknowingly checked the bidder.
It was a man wearing a black silk hat and a colorful mask depicting a peacock.
'Damn it. I thought I'd just eat it.'
Hopefully there will be a competitor.
The moderator, who had to react immediately, stood still with a puzzled face. If the helper hadn't shaken the moderator, he would have thought he had hardened like a stone statue.
Alas. I couldn't speak unprofessional. I'm really sorry.
The presenter said so and cleared his throat.
Although I had served as a moderator of the Gehena auction house for many years, it was the first time I had such an experience.
It's a bidding competition of over 500 million.
It was so unreal that I thought it might be a dream.
But what if it's a dream? As a pro, help put an end to an auction that will go down in history!
That's the mission!
"500 million came out! Any more?!"
Bena looked a little confused.
I glanced at where Jamie was.
- Master, what about it?
'Lift it up little by little.'
Anyway, there's no limit on this either.
I don't know how Kiriel will react later, but for now, all I can do is call him whatever he wants.
"520 million!"
"530 million."
"550 million!"
"600 million."
Bena flinched.
But he opened his mouth again.
"700 million!"
This time, the man was stunned.
He didn't seem to know that he would raise 100 million gold at once.
He was wearing a mask, so he couldn't see his expression, but he couldn't fool Jamie's eyes.
The slight tremor of the shoulder and the leg that seemed to shake at any moment were pressed tightly with both hands. But the young tension in his arms gave some indication of his condition.
'I'm overworked. But I won't give up.'
- I think so.
don't give up like that
A human who bid 600 million gold. 100 million gold has been added, but more than that, you will definitely have the ability to bid.
The reason for worry is probably to calculate the value of All Might. And the calculations were not long.
"73 million."
There Jamie was convinced.
'Raise it to 800 million.'
"Eight billion!"
Bena spit it out as instructed.
"800 million came out!"
Without the mask on the presenter's face, the saliva would have splattered all the way to the front seat.
Jamie looked at the man again.
The man thought for a moment, then shook his head and threw a picket.
"Eight billion! The ultimate stone, All Might, has been sold for 800 million gold!"
earth earth-
The sound of wooden hammers echoed through the auction house.
Jamie sighed and flopped into the chair.
Siegfried looked at Jamie like that and tilted his head.
"Why does Confucius look tired?"
"Because I saw a sight I couldn't even imagine, I was exhausted."
"Confucius is really refreshing."
"It's too much to say to a kid."
"Well, my hands were sweating too."
Then he lifted up the white cotton gloves he had in his hands. In fact, my palms were slightly wet.
"I saw you spilled water while drinking."
"Great."
Siegfried coughed and lowered his hand.
And then he grinned.
"Shall we go out? I'm hungry, so let's go eat something delicious.
good.
There was nothing more to see here.
I still care about the men and women sitting diagonally, but first things first.
As the two of them were just about to get up, the next item was introduced.
"This item is an artifact unearthed near Mt. Daehwa in the Kelton Mountains. I saw it too, and it was pretty weird. It's like a key, and sometimes it's not. Anyway, let's see!"
Auctions on stage.
It was a small cuboid made of gold, with ancient words engraved on its surface.
Jamie's high eyesight was able to read the engraved ancient language without difficulty.
[Sleep here. so as not to wake up again.]
And all the lights in the auction house went out.
"Uh, what Whoa!"
As if someone had pushed it, the host's embarrassed scream was heard.
At the same time, the sound of thunderbolt was heard from all over the place, and several footsteps rang out loudly.
"Ahhhhh!"
"Ahhh! Run away!"
Screams erupted from all around, and I could feel the rush to get out of the darkness.
Siegfried held Jamie's hand effortlessly in the dark.
"Stay close to me."
In such a situation, you have to move for nothing, and you will only get swept up and hurt.
Siegfried spread a round shield.
And made light. It brightened up in an instant, and I could see the surroundings at a glance.
Siegfried said with a frown.
"Hey, you're very upset."
In that brief moment, the auction house was a mess.
The chairs on which the participants were sitting were all smashed, leaving only debris left, rolling on the floor, and the door leading to the exit was torn and torn.
Some, who had not yet escaped, hurriedly disappeared through the half-opened door.
The presenter was standing on the stage in vain.
"Uh, what happened ."
He took off his mask and looked at the messed up auction house.
He looked quite annoyed that his nasolabial beard was trembling.
What's happening!!
Suddenly the light went out.
The Gehena auction house was one of the most secret auction houses in the whole continent. There is no possibility of such a trivial issue as a power outage. And the loud footsteps heard right after the power outage.
"What what?
The pedestal where the auction was supposed to be placed was empty.
The high-quality cushion on which the auction items were raised was roughly lifted, but the auction items were not visible even below.
"What, what? where did you go... ."
"Miju-sama!"
One of the staff came running calling the host's name.
The staff whispered something into Miju's ear with a very bewildered face. And Miju looked at the staff with unbelievable eyes and opened her trembling lips.
"The rest of the items were stolen?!"
Siegfried, who had been silently watching those words, opened his mouth.
"What the hell."
The mana around him began to fluctuate.
* * *
"Damn it!"
A woman screamed and slammed her fist against the wall.
The man behind him patted the woman's back with hollow eyes.
"There was no such thing!"
The woman, Braha, removed the man's hand and said so.
Braha's ears were pointed, and her skin was like white jade.
The arms and legs were slender and stretched out, and the overall look was very beautiful. They were the most beautiful race, the elves.
"Why were my people there as slaves?"
" It's impossible for Alex to know everything."
The man, Izaya, shook his head with a sad face.
Alex was the magician in charge of their team's intelligence, and was responsible for keeping track of items for sale in secret auctions.
However, the list did not include elven slaves.
Braha remembered his people being sold to someone in front of him.
Oops, my teeth are chipped.
I thought it was a mission and I wanted to kill them all and save them.
I was angry at myself for not doing it. His hands and feet trembled, and he had an urge to kill the people who bought his people and all the people involved in the Gehena auction house.
"Alex is working hard to locate the elves, so news will come soon. So we have to leave first."
"Damn it ."
Still angry, Izaya was right.
I couldn't do anything about the items that the buyer had already picked up, but I stole all the remaining auction items.
Among them were 'Shadow Lamb's Heart' and the ultimate stone 'All Might'.
"It's really amazing~"
At that moment, the man who was squatting on the floor, alternately examining the Shadow sheep's heart and All Might, said in a cheerful voice.
It was a man named 'Ramu' who was on the same team with Izaya and Braha.
"Ram. See you later."
"Yes, yes, yes"
Ramu put the items back into his bag and stood up. Then he tapped Braha's sombre shoulder.
"Don't worry, Braha. Hahaha!
"Shut up, you ignorant child."
Braha clenched his hand and strode forward.
Ramu just shrugged.
Izaya said to Ramu like that and moved forward.
"There was a master class."
Wow. Are you going to run away at the risk of your life?"
Master class.
Ramu licked his lips.
Two people and one new elf picked- and disappeared.
And there were two men watching them from heaven.
The fucking cubs splashes with our stuff.
Siegfried spit it out with a cold face.
The space shakes again.
"I can't let that happen, you bastards."
The space shrunk in an instant.
Jamie, who was next to him, swallowed a smirk as he watched his space magic.
'This guy's skills .'
The space that has been reduced in an instant,
" Who are you!"
"Braha. backwards.
"Are you so fast?"
Siegfried and Jamie were placed in front of Braha, Izaya and Ramu.
Siegfried snapped his fingertips and smiled at them.
"Give me my stuff. Before I kill them all."
space expanded.
