Chapter 73 Dawn Creed Auction House (Part II)

Jennifer, the host of the auction, left the podium, this was my first time going to an auction, so the only thing I could think of was that she was trying to bring out the item.

It didn't take long for her to leave. She held a cart, but an expensive-looking cover covered the item she was showing.

"The first item we will show is the magnificent Dark Drake Skin. The Dark Drake is a rank-four monster that lives in the country of Etheal. This material is very durable, not to mention. It helps increase the speed of the wearer." Uncovering the material, everyone could see the item.

It was very dark skin, with an excellent scale. What surprised me was that the host showed something perfect for the first item.

"Starting from 250 gold, the lowest bidding price would be ten gold!"

Many of the people in the seats were raising their hands, prices were increasing, and it was not stopping.

"Senior! Are you interested in this?" My neighbor had asked.

"They are indeed good, but I don't think I would need something like this." It would cover my weakness of speed, but I don't think black would look good on the current me. I'm pretty nitpicky with my clothing, even as a boy.

She looked at me and said, "Is that so?" She raised her sign and bid for it for a price. "1500 Gold!" Fay had increased the price of it by six times.

"Do you really need something like that?" Fay didn't seem like the person to use it, so I had no idea what she wanted to do with it.

"I don't really need it, but because everyone bid for I want it. Teehee!" She stuck out her tongue, trying to pose. I didn't know what to say to that.

With Fay bidding for the drakes skin, no one else had bid for it. The price was already more than what it was worth.

"Does anyone else want to bid for it? I guess that's a no, then it's sold to VIP 5!" Jennifer replied happily, glad about the price it was sold in.

The next came out with someone else carrying the item like the previous item shown. It was also covered for the suspense. The co-worker dragged the holder for the Dark Drake Skin.

"Senior, what do you think the next item would be? Do you think the price would be higher or lower?" Is she trying to make a bet with me? Despite being pushy, Fay seemed like she knew what would be sold.

"Since it was the first sold item, it would probably be higher. It would be bad if the first item would be more valuable than the rest." I explained my reasoning.

"Is that so?" I couldn't tell anything from her reaction, and it seemed she wouldn't tell me.

"Now that we're finished with the first item, it's time to begin the second!" The sheet of red cloth was covering it, and unwrapping the cloth, the item was shown.

"This time, we have the eyes from the monster Evil Eye!" Looking at it was pretty disgusting to look at. Even Fay, who was pretty happy, was creeped out by it. Not to mention the audience also didn't like its appearance.

"Even if the eyes scare you, the item is pretty useful. Once consuming it, not only would it fix the blindness of someone who lost their vision, but it has a chance to give you an ability of the evil eye!" The host tried to convince someone to buy it with her words.

My monthly allowance was about 150 gold. It was a lot to the average person, but I was considered dirt poor to people here.

Everyone who heard Jennifer's words was shocked. It was pretty valuable to gain an ability that wasn't magic that they were born with. This item would help someone's versatility.

With the crowd cheering, "The starting price is 800 gold, and the lowest bidding price is 50!"

"1000 Gold!" Someone from the crowd raised his sign and instantly raised it to the thousand mark.

"Are you not going to bid for it? I thought you wanted something that everybody wants?" I tried to tease her from her previous words.

"Sorry, even though I may not look like it, there are things even I don't want." She looked away, remembering what she had said.

"1500 Gold!" Another person shot up the price for the eye.

"3000 GOLD!" An old man screamed, trying to obtain it with certainty. Everyone was silenced by the price. Unless the old man was blind, or someone he knew was blind, it was worth getting this by all means.

"Wonderful! Does anyone else want to bid for it?" Seeing no one else raise the price, it was sold.

Now that I think about it, Fay probably didn't know everything sold at the auction, seeing her reaction to the Evil Eye.

Only two items were sold, and each was pretty uncommon to see. If more items were shown, then the unique item would be precious.

The co-worker then dragged away the Evil Eye and brought out another one. Like the other two, everyone couldn't tell what was inside.

Jennifer then took out the sheet covering the item. "This time, we would be selling an artifact!" The artifact shown was jewelry tailored for your ears. It was an earring being shown.

Unlike every earring that was shown, this one was the one that stood out to me the most. Not only was the design appealing, but I could feel that it was something good.

"This is an earring found in a dungeon bordering the Star State, Etheal, and the country Avadris." Like Etheal, Avardris was bordering Star State.

Avardris is a country known for its beast men. Their country is the biggest, and their population is the highest. Most nations are in terrible relation to them since monsters and their outer characteristic are similar. There were theories that they were monsters at one point in time.

The earrings shown were blood red that is crystallized. The fact that it was shaped like a cross is pretty amusing.
