110 Lesson 13: Infiltrating the Dark Market District (2)

When I went out to the Dark Market, I was surprised how many people there were.

So many people? Oh, my God, that's huge!

It was just called a city, and it was big enough to be called a city.

It's an underground city, but with street lights, it feels like a city at night.

There was an astonishing line of suspicious shops in such a city.

Take a peek at the pharmacist...

Hydra's Blood.

Poison so highly capable of killing as it is said to be the most in this world

You just smoke a little vaporized, and you're dead.

Incubus Blood

The strongest ecstasy in this world alongside the blood of a sacubus.

It has special effects on women and requires careful attention to be used

Tears of the Mermaid

Tears shed by mermaids

Tears I shed when I was happy and sad made it work differently.

When you're happy, drinking will cure all your illnesses, injuries

When you're sad, drink and die instantly

I shed these tears when I was sad.

All of them, if they were selling on the ground, they'd be arrested instantly.

Or I wonder how you got all of them...

It's a hell of a price, so I know that was tough.

I left the drugstore praying these pills weren't in anyone's hands.

The next store I'm in is a magic shop.

I decided to come in because I wondered what kind of magic equipment I couldn't sell if it was on the ground.

When I came in, three magic fixtures were embellished in prominence.

The Sword of Madness.

Anyone equipped with this starts slashing everything in their eyes like crazy.

All stats are ten times higher when equipped

Creator: Unknown

Summoning Stone of the Devil

Connect the demon kingdom to space and summon a large number of powerful demons

Once used it breaks

Creator: Unknown

The Coma Orgol.

If you hear the sound this Orgol plays, any person will fall asleep

Note that once the sound starts, it will never stop for half a day

Creator: Unknown

When I appraised them, they were all magical items.

It's just that when they use all of them, they're just crappy.

Does the store know that, too? The price was set to be very high.

I don't think anybody can buy this... even nobles can buy it?

Well, maybe it's a product I'm not going to sell.

With that in mind, I left the store.

After all, this city is dangerous... there are too many dangerous things to sell.

Before we crush this city, we need to keep this dangerous drug or magic item from going out on the ground...

Walking around thinking about that, I saw a big building.

(Anna, what's that?

(This is the auction venue in Dark Market City. rare objects from all over the world will be collected and millionaires from all over the world will participate for it)

(Do you also have an auction...... What's sold?

(Various. uncommon weapons, medicines, magic items, although it seems like slaves are particularly popular)

(I see... What are the terms of participation?

(If you have a membership card, you can participate. It's the rule to hide your face)

(I see. Well, I guess I can join you, too)

Well, I'm not gonna do it because if I join you, you're going to be an accomplice.

In the meantime, why don't you infiltrate?

Approaching the entrance to the auction venue, two soldiers in armor were blocking the entrance.

Don't touch these two. It's hard to get inside......

That's what you think.

"Can I see your membership card?

"Huh?"

Are you seeing me?

And I didn't think so.

"Is this a problem?

A guy in a pretty flashy mask was showing his membership card to a soldier.

"Yes. It's okay. Okay, go ahead."

When the soldier checked his membership card, he returned it to the man and paved the way.

Oh, my chance!

I succeeded in getting inside, confused by a man.

Once inside, the auction had already begun.

"Millions of vectors!

"A million vectors!

"One million two hundred thousand vectors!

"A million, three hundred thousand vectors!

Just as the two men spoke out loud, they were competing.

Neither of us gave in a single step, we were competing in 100,000 increments.

Are either of these two going to win like this?

And I thought...

"Three million vectors!

The guy who came in with me raised the price all at once.

……

We both shut up about this.

"Yes, I've made up my mind! One hundred and fifty for three million vectors!

Wow, because one vector is about thirty yen, did this guy put in ninety million yen and use it right away?

Where are you rich......

"Continuing, I am a slave. Gender is female. The race is human, the age is sixteen, and the name is Sierra Moreland. As some of you may have noticed by name, this is the daughter of the Moreland family, the Duke of the Kingdom of Alber."

It was a very beautiful woman who came out on stage when she was introduced to me like that.

"Ooh."

The venue turned.

"I heard he was kidnapped while traveling from the territory to the King's Capital, was that rumor true..."

"If you can get that beauty, I'll give you as much as I can."

"Damn...... If we leave more money..."

The venue was very exciting.

Meanwhile, Mr. Sierra, standing on stage as a product of the auction, was trembling with fear.

I'd love to help you... but that's a little hard...

There's nothing you can't do with metastases, but the anti-escape chain is wrapped around your leg...

My face will be seen by the time I move over there, cut the chain, and move to the castle......

Or because it's widespread for me to be able to use metastases, even if I hide my face, I'll find out too...

I don't have a choice. Do you want to watch for now?

Once I gave up, I decided to see who she would buy it from.

"We will now begin with two million vectors."

Sixty million yen from the beginning... that's all she's worth?

"Three million vectors!

"Four million!

"Five million!

"Seven million!

"How about a million!

"Twelve million!

"Fourteen million!

"Fifteen million!

"Thirty million!

……

An incandescent battle ensued and it looks like man number 46 won.

Of course, I don't know who it is because I'm wearing a mask.

"Yes, I've made up my mind. Thirty million vectors, number 46."

About 900 million yen...... Is it cheap for the Duke's Lady... expensive...

"Damn. I didn't expect it to be this high"

"I have no choice. That forty-six would be the head of the Moreland family himself. If I were to help your daughter, I would have given her the whole fortune."

Huh? Did you?

"Oh, then you have no choice. There's no way the Duke's entire estate can beat a boulder."

Apparently, Mr. Sierra can make it home safely.

Yeah, I'm glad I didn't do anything extra.

Still, you know who knows when you're wearing a mask.

I think it's okay because you're wearing a mask, you should stop.

"Now it's the last item of the day. Many of you are here today for this, aren't you? This is the appearance of today's eye-catcher, the Demon Gem of Illusion."

With the introduction of the facilitator... something familiar came along.

(That's the demon stone I instilled in you, right?

(Yes, that demon stone has the magic of Leo)

(That's the eyeball of the day?

(Yes, I don't think Master Leo knows, but no demon stone with that much magic will ever be on the market)

(Oh yeah...)

I'm going to have to use it a little bit more.

"The size is a normal demonic stone, but the glow, the amount of magic is said to be illusory, and it is called a demonic gem. Normally, it would have been auctioned off on the ground, but for the record, it would have been at this venue."

Translation? What's the translation of my demon stone?

"Sure, I heard you can't sell it on the ground because it's stolen."

"Oh, yeah. If it was on the ground, wouldn't it have been a hell of a lot of money?

When I was wondering, my uncles just told me.

I see, is it stolen?

(Anna, do you know when it was stolen?

(No, that looks like it was stolen after Leo sold it at the material store)

(Materialist? Oh, speaking of which, you sold it to get a misrill when you were little)

Sure, it must have been ten white gold coins.

About 30 million yen... maybe it was really more expensive...

Father of the material store, you tricked me into being a kid, didn't you?

"I don't think this place is that different either. Didn't you notice? That there are many women in this venue today."

"Oh, sure. If you ask me, that's a lot of women..."

When I was remembering my father at the material store, my uncles heard me talking like that.

Sure, don't even think about that if you ask me...

"You, definitely get that one, don't you?

"Oh, okay"

Darling, I want that.

"Oh, I'll take care of it"

I just looked over a little, and I heard that voice.

This is going to be another incandescent battle.

"We will now begin with five million vectors."

From 150 million yen... Is my demon stone worth that?

With that in mind, the auction started.

"Ten million vectors!

"Twenty million!

"Thirty million!

"35 million!

"Forty million!

"Fifty million!

"Sixty million!

Men keep saying higher and higher sums because there are women next door.

I wonder how far we're going to go......

"One hundred million!

……

Everyone in this room has turned a blind eye to the man who said 100 million.

And no one had anything to say.

"Yes, I've made up my mind. Oh, my God, it's eleven in a hundred million vectors."

Three billion yen...... To the extent you can't count, you have the same demon stone in my backpack as that one...

Absolutely not worth three billion yen.

"Damn...... Have you become a princess's again..."

"These days, all the jewelry will be won by the princess's men. I've never won a bid for an unlikely amount before."

Also, my uncles gave me information.

Right, was the eleventh one of Princess Alber's men?

So I guess whoever was in the venue gave up looking at the eleventh who made a hundred million remarks.

There's no way you can beat a national opponent.

The royalty of that country is famous for its greed.

I guess he was telling his men to come and win no matter how much it cost them.

"Well, it's over, and we're going home."

I could collect the information there, and I guess I'll leave the rest to the rats.

I let go of a few rats I had in my pocket and then transferred to the castle.
