Chapter 67: The Auction Starts!
Miles lay down on his bed, as he thought about what he experienced at the family dinner. Firstly Mercers words. He said when Marcela reaches Form-Rank, she will be a one-woman army. Marcela had no ability to fight when she was alone, but according to Mercer, in the next rank, Marcela would be so strong on her own.
Anything Miles could associate with Form-Rank was energy and unique abilities come with it, then it means energy will make Marcela so strong, just by herself, she will be capable of fighting an army all alone.
What did father say again?'' Energy had different branches. And one of them is using energy to create attacks with elemental energies in the air at your will. But you can only bend the same type of elemental energy with your superpower. So a person with Fire Superpower can only make use of the fire elemental energy in the air.
Then what is Marcelas energy type? She can mix the superpowers. Does that mean she can combine every elemental energy in the air? If she can, isnt it too overpowered?
Miles didnt have enough information to opine about the outcomes of the superpowers. Some superpowers are as simple as they seem. Fire-related superpowers will end up as fire elemental energy control, and water will end up in water-type elemental energy. Then what about Mercer and Malcolms? Their superpowers to cancel other superpowers. How does their energy work?
Miles had no idea.
There was also his mother Evelyn. Her power was Data Sort, allowing her brain to become a supercomputer where she can save any memories and bring them up as she likes. It also makes her brain faster and stronger. What would her energy do?
Then what about me? I am unable to awaken, and it seems like I will not be able to awaken my superpower anytime soon. I would be depressed if it wasnt for the notes I have found in the secret lab where I found the armor. But now that I know the harder it is to awaken a superpower, the stronger it will be. But if I am unable to awaken my superpower before I enter Form-Rank, which element will I possess?
Miles had lots of questions but no one to answer. He could call Malcolm and ask, but he would rather not.
Miles woke up the next morning and went to the Portal World once again. The year ended, and there were things he couldnt delay anymore. First of all, the auction. He already informed the clerk about the Lone Cave honey, and it was on the list. He had to deliver the honey to sell it in the auction.
Miles didnt care if Tian Ling would buy it all or not in the end because since he refused to sell it directly, he kinda achieved what he wanted to do. He gave everyone a fair chance to fight for the honey.
Miles arrived at the stronghold and walked to the auction backstage with his armor donned. This was where the people who wanted to sell their stuff met with the auction house officials. Miles entered and met with the same guy he first met when he wanted to auction the honey. The guys name was Idris and was a talkative man. As a merchant and auctioneer, his talkative nature must have helped him with his occupation.
Hey, my man th-th-the Marooner, one and only in the house! He greeted Miles exaggeratedly.
Hey! Miles answered with his husky low voice. I brought the goods.
Why are you acting like it is a drug exchange? Idris shook his head and looked at Miles, Have you brought the goods? He asked by imitating Miless voice. Because I have the money.
Cut the crap. When is it starting? Miles asked.
Man, you are no fun at all. Did Starve Cleric steal your humor while fighting you? Idris asked and looked at the cold metal face of the armor. In the end, he could only sigh and say, It will start in an hour. Go and find a seat. Your item will be auctioned close to the end, but there are other things you may take fancy of.
The items will be delivered at the end of the auction and you will only be asked to pay at that time, so if you know how much the item you put would be worth, you can calculate that amount and auction for other items. We will just deduct it from the total amount.
