2958 Interesting Item
As the twins watched from above with the many other participants, the auction's host came up to the stage to announce the start of the event. "Hey, it's Senior Fubel!"
"The one from the Werldem Empire Inquisitors?"
"The one and the same!"
" To think the auction house would convince him to host..." N/nêw n0vel chap/ers are published o/n n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m
"They must have paid quite a sum."
"Well, the Royal Capital's Auction House has never been the type to save money. And with Senior Fubei hosting it, many will be even more assured of the event's fairness."
"Indeed, the auction house would never dare to go against the auction's rule with him here."
Fubei heard all the conversation and smiled at the crowd. "Welcome, everyone! Many of you probably already know who I am. But for those who don't, I'm Fubei, one of the Werdlem Empire inquisitors. I just so happened to be passing by when the auction house invited me to this event."
Rean and Roan looked at each other. They had checked their CDs before. The Werdlem Empire Inquisitor is usually the one responsible for making sure the laws of the Empire are being followed. For example, the contest of who will take over the country every 1000 years is carried by them. They are soul-bound to the Empire's laws, so it is guaranteed that everything they do is within the Empire's interest. However, in exchange for being soul-bound to the Empire, they enjoy many benefits. For example, Fubei's allocated resources for his own cultivation are no less than the Queen herself. Besides, the Queen has to be respectful to him and not the other way around. Inquisitors are above everyone except the Planet's Lord, who is also a direct member of the Werdlem Empire.
Seeing the bow, Rean couldn't help but ask. "Why have we never used bows before?"
Roan shrugged. "It is not that I can't teach you how to use it, but that bows truly don't make my style. Of course, if you want to try, go ahead and buy it. I think it would be a waste of time, though."
Rean pondered a bit and gave up. "Forget it. If I ever decide to try, I'll make a boy myself. It will be much better than that thing."
In the end, the bow was sold for 430 Rank Four Spiritual Stones. What surprised Rean was the number of Wood Element Affinity experts who bid for the bow. Any Elemental Affinity out of the main five is extremely rare back in Lisan. Here, however, it isn't as common as the normal affinities, but it isn't anything that rare either. Rean saw five bidding for the bow, and there were probably more who simply didn't care about it.
One item after another continued to be auctioned. Finally, the rarity of the items increased to the point that Rank Four Spirit Stones weren't accepted anymore, only Rank Five. Rean and Roan had no interest in any of the items, though. Pills, Equipment, Devices, Treasures, etc, they were very good for the context of a Mortal Planet, but of no use for the twins.
However, that didn't last long.
"Hum?" Suddenly, Rean and Roan's perception caught something as soon as the new item was brought up to the stage. Finally, Fubei removed the cover, allowing the twins to take a good look. "Here we have a Special Ore. We aren't sure about its properties, but it was found in the Dark Ruins of the Rodtel Country. Since that's the case, even its owner isn't very sure about how much to sell it for. The auction's appraisers weren't able to identify it either. That said, the initial bid will be only 50 Rank Five Spiritual Stones."
Rean and Roan looked at that. Even though it didn't seem to have much power left, they were pretty sure about its origin. "Isn't that a Universe Foundation Fragment?"
And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
