Leave Me Alone, Heroines!
111 Chapter 111- First Day Auction And Mysterious Person (Part 3)
The room was finally filled up to the brim with people and the auction was finally about to begin. It had been already 15 minutes since Acht reached the building so he was getting bored and also nervous because of one simple reason.
'Why is she staring at me?' He thought to himself as he feigned ignorance of the continuous glares she was directing at him.
It seemed that Lein had found him interesting for some reason. Acht couldn't recall doing anything that could make him look suspicious or worthy of attention.
'Maybe the fact that I'm attending this auction is the weird part?' He tried to process all kinds of possibilities but he still didn't get a clear answer so he just kept staring ahead of him silently with his usual cold expression.
Then, the room suddenly dimmed and the only source of light was focused on the stage where a man was standing now. He was a scrawny old man with a short height and somehow presentable clothes. He didn't look particularly rich but he looked well-off enough for him to not be an eyesore for the rich audience that was watching him.
The man then picked up the microphone and said.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the Annual First Day Auction. We are very happy to see all of you attend our humble auction. You all must be aware of the rules so without further to do, let's get our first item of the day."
Then, another man came out with a box in his hand. He then put it on the table and opened it up. Inside, there was a white spear made out of some kind of metallic material and decorated with lines and runes.
"The first item is 'Wind Spear'. One of the best C-Rank weapons you could find in this world…."
The man then went on to describe the spear's abilities and power before looking at the audience again.
"Now that you took a good look at it. The bidding officially starts. The initial price is 7 gold coins…"
Immediately after saying that, many hands rose in the air and the initial number started rising.
It went from 7 coins to 19 coins in a few moments before it settled there and no one gave a higher bid.
"19 coins…19 coins…going once…going twice…Sold! Congratulations sir." He said loudly.
Then, the auction continued and many items were presented accordingly. All of them were in C and D-Rank with some being lower than that. As it could be seen, the auction didn't show any important items which was slightly underwhelming for Acht since he expected a little bit more.
Then, as he was entertaining the idea of leaving, a new item came out that made him halt his thoughts for a split second.
It was a cube made out of wood that looked like a chess board. It was very plain with nothing fancy in its decoration nor its shape.
But, it made Acht squint his eyes since this cube had an abnormal amount of soul force. No, to be more precise, this amount of soul force shouldn't be here since it was equal if not higher than an S-Rank item.
"And for our last item today, we have something that many of you might've not heard off. It's called 'Dungeon Sensor'. It's an object that gives you the ability to sense not only the exact location of a dungeon but it also gives you a very decent map of the dungeon itself when you enter it. This alone is a great feature but we have another thing. It also can give you the best route to take inside the dungeon."
Acht heard gasps of admiration from the audience seeing this object and he couldn't blame them since this was something amazing. The boy knows very well how hard it is to find dungeons and navigate them since he spent the last few months going in and out of dungeons for training and the biggest chunk of the time it took for him to complete the dungeon was finding the best routes to go from.
With this item, that time will be shortened and he could even enter more dungeons in one day rather than getting stuck in one for long hours. As he was thinking of bidding on it, he heard a little sound beside him.
Lein seemed to also be interested…very interested. Her eyes glowed ominously and she seemed to mutter some kind of words that he couldn't understand.
'What is she doing?' He thought as the bidding started.
The initial price was a whopping 1500 gold coins. This was enough for anyone to buy 5 A-Rank weapons with a lower quality.
The price rose quickly from 1500 to 2000 coins and the number kept on increasing rapidly. Then, it happened.
"8000 gold coins," Lein said as she raised her hand.
"8000 gold coins! Our lady over there bid 8000 gold coins! Is it going to get any higher?"
"10000 gold coins!" A sound came from the cockpit in the back where a mysterious man or woman was sitting.
Lein seemed to be quite displeased but she still raised her hand again.
"13000 gold coins!"
The old man was about to comment on the massive number but the person inside the private room spoke before him.
"16000 gold coins!"
Lein was now gritting her teeth in frustration. It seemed that her cool attitude was finally crumbling down.
'She was never someone to be calm and composed! This is going to be bad.' Acht thought as he tried to find a way out of this mess.
She stood up with a huge frown and looked at everyone before settling on the old man.
"30000 gold coins! If anyone bids higher than this, I will fucking kill him!"
A weird silence fell down on the room like a veil and you could hear some of them swallow their saliva under the glare of Lein.
But, instead of keeping silent, another voice spoke.
"35000 gold coins!"
