Chapter 194: Chapter 194 - The Auction Starts [ Part 1 ]
"Without wasting any more of your time, let's start the show now, shall we?"
Nigel didn't find any kind of disregard to his words so he took that as acceptance and hit with his cane on the stage again and said, "Alright then, Gentlemen before we begin showing you the fine items that I will be selling to special guests like I would like to say a few words."
"First a thanks to the wonderful and courageous team of Frontiers that have gone on many dangerous paths for the sake of finding many magnificient items that I will be showing you today.
Please give a warm thanks to the frontier group called 'Gang Jack'."
Nigel said and pointed towards the second floor on the left side.
Adam and Carl looked to their left to see a room on the second floor which was being lit by a huge flashlight and a group of people who were waving their hands dismissively as if they wanted the flashlight to be turned off quickly.
The guests invited to the auction house gave their pleas no attention as they clapped like they were taught to in occasions like this.
Carl also clapped to the huge rhythm as he looked at the frontier group while Adam just sipped on his drink to find out that it was finished so he called the waiter to refill his drink.
"Now on the second matter, Another thanks to the Sypmore Great House for helping us by sponsoring this event and also our thanks to the Lieti Family for helping us with the security for today's event."
The huge flashlight that was on the frontier group shut off as two lights of the same caliber turned on a room on the right side of the second floor and a table besides Adam and Carl which was the one in front of them in the first row.
Except this time the two people on the second floor waved heavily towards the crowd as they felt the flashlight and heard the claps of the people.
While the Lieti Family that was being clapped for helping with the security merely just smiled a little before they tuned out the thunderous claps being generated by many people.
Adam looked at the two groups of people as he thought.
'Well the Sypmore Great House acted like the rumors surrounding them said.
A very strong house made of many mana users that had helped in some matters, mostly political and the family which likes to stay in the spotlight.'
Then he looked at his front as Adam's eyes securitized the back of the man who was giving of a strong aura.
'The Lieti Family… the only thing that I know about them is that they are a strong family ranking in the top 10 of the families in the Tudor Kingdom.'
'Besides their obviously strong ranking, they are very loyal to their birth kingdom.
Almost all male members of their family had either participated in some war or had joined the military and some might even say that they are in cahoots with the royal family.'
Adam suddenly looked at the man with a dark look on his face.
'So I'm 99% Percent sure that they also work like a spy for the royal family too. Best to stay away from this loyal fanatics.'
Nigel hit his cane on the stage as both the huge lights turned off as the auction hall's natural light turned on and he said.
"With that done, I will now officially start this year's grand auction for the special people invited to this event."
William hearing that had a strange look on his face as he said, "So this auction they are having is something so grand that they do only once a year?"
Delmar nodded, "Yes, It is a tradition of most successful auction houses to do this every year when they get something crazy rare in their hands."
"And they also decided to invite us to this event and not only that but also give us quite the privilege… now doesn't that smell fishy, Delmar?"
Delmar also believed his words, "Yeah I also thought that it was quite strange of them to invite us and give an edge to us, later didn't think much of it but now that you put it like that it does smell fishy, boss."
Then he smiled dangerously and said, "Still… something tells me that whatever the reason they invited us will only turn out to be a profit for us."
William looked at him, "I suppose you know something that's making you give that judgment."
Delmar nodded slightly, "I do, but it's not completely factual so I am going to keep it to myself until I am absolutely sure that it was what I heard it is."
"Alright but tell me before something happens."
"Will Do."
Nigel inside the auction house turned back as he pointed to his assistants, "Now for the first item that I will show to you guys."
Nigel pointed towards the two bunny girls who were holding on to something which was hidden by a white cloth that seemed to hover above the item.
"But before I show it to you guys, I would like to take a simple precaution."
Nigel then pushed on the head of the cane he was holding and banged it on the stage.
"As a security measure because of the unfortunate event that had taken place on last year, the Heaven Defying Auction House has decided on a new safe that would guarantee the items safety from unseen events."
The cane gave a dark glow as it enveloped the stage and a blue barrier appeared around the stage as it blocked off any kind of spells or machines that would get close to the barrier.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this over here is the Baloi Gew Cane. A cane that has the ability to erect a small barrier but very effective one that would block off any kind of spells or electronic device from getting inside the barrier."
"Now the item that I will be showcasing to you is…"
The bunny girls didn't have to do anything as the white cover automatically floated off as it revealed an item sitting on a silver plate.
It was a four inch glass bottle with some pills inside it.
"What I am showing to you is the miracle pills called Mudhorns Speed. As some of you might know that the Mudhorn is a ferocious beast which is known for two things.
One, They have strong offensive power that is able to penetrate through a steel wall with very little force and Second is it's meats highly valuable effects."
"The effect is scientifically proven to be very effective in fastening the speed of any mana user under the level of FOUR and also has slight effects on the FOUR'th level."
"The item we have right now is the pills that is made from the Mudhorns which has the same effects one would get from a mudhorns meat but much easier to digest."
"The price of the pill bottle starts at 28 Million Dollars and will increase by 1 Million in each bid."
"Alright I will start the bid now. If anyone is interested please raise your table number."
Carl looked at the price tag and thought, 'Who would but such an overpriced ite-'
