Chapter 433 Auction trap (10)
Since I had obtained the bag, I naturally couldn't just leave it alone.
I pulled the bag out again and started looking it over, as if I was trying to find something specific.
Shaka peeked over from time to time to see if I could find anything, but I didn't in the end.
Or rather...I was deliberately not finding anything.
The symbol that was on this bag was a dead giveaway of what this bag was.
The symbol that was on this bag was the symbol of a famous magician, but he had long been forgotten because of the passage of time. His name was a name that only existed in history books and was known by famous magicians of this era.
That was because he had once been the strongest magician in the world and the one that had laid the foundation for the current system of magic.
It was the symbol of the first magician, Merlin.
Of course, it wasn't that Merlin from my world. Other than the name, they didn't share anything in common...well, other than being known as the greatest magicians in the world.
The Merlin in this game world had been a slave who had awakened his magic powers when he was a child and had slowly developed them until he became the greatest magician in the world.
With that, he was able to create the current Magicians Tower, which was the strongest magician organization in the world. The holy land of anyone that claimed to be a magician.
The reason why I recognized this symbol was because this bag was something that I had obtained in the game before.
But the place that I obtained it was different from here.
This was an item that should have been found in the eighth prince's treasury during the noble main quest line.
After the eighth prince was defeated, this bag was supposed to be claimed by the player with the rest of the eight prince's treasures.
But this bag didn't play a role until much later when one unlocked the Merlin quest line.
It was only then that the player would be able to find the real use of this bag.
It was a bag with spatial magic, just like the Storage Ring of the elves.
However, this was a bag that was created by the greatest magician, so there was a large difference in storage space.
There was a special way to open it, but I wouldn't open it here while surrounded in danger.
I would wait until I was alone to open this bag.
So for now, it was time to watch the auction.
The auction continued for some time after that.
I had thought that they would be running low on items after the lull with the bag, but it seemed that this item was just considered an intermission. After this bag, there were many special items that were brought out one after another.
There were some that I was even interested in, so I didn't hesitate to bid for them.
Since it wasn't my money in the first place, I didn't care. If someone else was paying, then my wallets were quite loose.
The crowd was surprised to see how much I was spending, but there were people that looked at me with thoughtful looks.
These were most likely those that knew that I had obtained the trade deal with the dwarves.
The way that they looked at me made it clear that they were surprised that I had this much money to spend. It was as if they didn't expect me to earn this much money from trading with the dwarves.
At the same time, it was clear that they were planning on talking to me about this.
But that was too bad for them since I wasn't interested in them.
At the same time, it wasn't as if this was my money.
So that was why I didn't hesitate to spend it.
But seeing all the attention that I got, it was clearly a good sign.
It just meant that our plan was working well and hopefully the ones that we wanted to lure in would take the bait.
After a long while, it was finally time for the final item.
Since it was the final item, it was naturally a very special item.
When it was brought out, there were several guards that came with it. They set up a perimeter around the stage so that not a single person was able to approach it.
It was as if they were going all out to protect this thing.
For the auction house to do all of this, it was clear that whatever they were about to bring out was beyond normal precious.
When it was brought out, it was even surrounded by four powerful looking guards that wouldn't let anyone approach.
This thing covered by a cloth was brought right up onto a stage.
When it was covered like this, one could clearly tell that it was some kind of tall case that held something.
As for what was underneath that cloth, we would have to wait and see.
But as this happened, I could see the looks of a few people in the crowd.
It seemed that some people had already received leaked information and knew what this thing was.
Judging by how excited they were, it should be something that was very special.
Once the thing was brought onto the stage, the auctioneer revealed a wide smile.
It seemed that even he was excited about this.
So this thing that they had saved for the finale should be something that even the auctioneer didn't get to see that often.
With all of these signs, I couldn't help feeling a bit excited.n(-Ovelb1n
If it really was something that special, then I might have to buy it.
After all, I currently had a special black card that would let me buy anything I wanted.
All I could do was apologize to the fourth prince's wallet.
The auctioneer came forward to the item brought up and reached out for the cloth as he said, "Now everyone, please get ready for our final item."
