Chapter 119 It’s A Pleasure To Meet You, Little Friends
The day of the Auction had arrived.
Thirteen and Cristopher made their way towards the Auction House with the assistance of Norris.
Since he had ordered Jubei to accompany Rianna and her Hunting Party to the Houdini Desert, he needed a Guardian to follow him to the auction house, so that he would be allowed to enter.
Fortunately, Norris was planning to sell several of his slaves in the Auction House, so he was given a VIP room.
This was also one of the favors that the seven-year-old had asked the Slave Master when he met with him last time.
Norris agreed because he knew that Thirteen planned to bid for the Chad Skunk, which was one of the Monsters that the boy had chosen, alongside the Pocopoco, whom the boy named Vassago.
When they entered the VIP Room, the seven-year-old noticed that there was already someone inside it.
However, he wasn't able to see what the person looked like because they were wearing a black hooded robe that covered their entire body, including their head.
"I'd like to introduce you to an acquaintance of mine, Zion," Norris said. "Her name is Adira. She is a Shaman, so if you are in need of shamanic services, you can talk to her while she is still in the city."
The woman named Adira nodded before taking off the hood that covered her head.
Thirteen's eyes narrowed, while Cristopher's eyes widened in shock.
'A Drow,' Thirteen thought. 'Norris has interesting friends.'
"D-Drow!" Cristopher gasped in shock.
Unlike Thirteen, who generally had a good grasp of his emotions, the chubby boy took a step back and even hid behind the younger and smaller boy, who did his best to keep the corner of his lips from twitching.
An amused giggle escaped Adira's lips as she walked towards the seven-year-old, who was looking at her with a calm expression on his face.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, little friends," Adira said as she looked down at the two of them. "My name is Adira, and I'll be staying in Gronar City for a month. I have heard many interesting things about you from my friend, Norris. It is an honor to finally meet you, Zion."
"The honor is mine, Lady Adira," Zion replied with a respectful bow. "This boy behind me is Cristopher. He is my direct subordinate."
"Cristopher?" Adira eyed the chubby boy, who was peeking at her from behind Thirteen's back. "I'll try to remember him."
"Lady Adira, please don't tease Cristopher too much," Thirteen said. "He gets scared easily."
"Forgive me, little one," Adira replied. "My teasing went too far. Well then, sit and make yourselves comfortable."
Thirteen nodded and sat on the couch in the center of the room.
Cristopher hurriedly sat on his Young Master's right side, while Adira, sat on the seven-year-old's left side.
Norris, sat on the couch beside them, having it all for himself.
"I heard from Norris that you plan to bid for the Chad Skunk," Adira said. "Aside from that stinky Monster, do you plan to bid on other items?"
"I do," Thirteen answered. "But, I don't think I'll have enough funds to bid for it."
"Oh? What are you planning to bid for aside from the Chad Skunk?'
"The Five Leaf Clover."
Norris and Adira exchanged glances before a faint smile appeared on the Drow's face.
"Excellent choice," Adira commented. "Although it may not be as powerful as an elixir, it can certainly save someone who suffered from a serious injury. I'm sure that there will be a lot of people who will want to bid for it."
"I know," Thirteen replied. "If I don't get it now, I'll just find another way to get one."
Adira eyed the black snake coiled around the boy's neck with an appraising gaze.
Tiona was also paying close attention to the Drow and flicked her tongue in her direction repeatedly.
She knew who this Drow was because she was the one that handed her to Norris to be put on auction.
If not for the fact that Thirteen had managed to get Norris' interest, which allowed him to look at the slaves that he wanted to auction, the Domini Mortis might have been one of the creatures that would be displayed in the Auction House today.
Adira asked Thirteen a lot of personal questions, and the boy answered those he could answer.
In exchange, he also asked Adira a lot of questions about the lands surrounding the Sumatran Kingdom, which the Drow also answered to the best of her abilities.
