Chapter 210 – Auction
#210.
When I went through the door, I saw a large room. There was a bed to rest on, a shower to wash off fatigue, and there was a hologram window in front of the sofa that relayed the auction.
And the front is made up of glass windows, and the whole view of the auction house comes in at a glance.
There were many people who heard rumors and came because they did not receive an invitation in person.
It’s an auction for magic cores, but you can’t offer just one of them. Of course, other than magic cores, various items will be auctioned off.
Since each of them were ancient relics, it was only natural that they gathered like this even if they didn’t have enough funds to buy magic cores.
There is only one room for Louisiana at the top, a space for VVIPs below it, and facilities for lodging and other work are built below that.
Perhaps Rivera, whom I had just met, was still losing his temper in the space right below this.
“Incredible. As expected, Lucipheon’s energy is amazing.”
“Thank you for the compliment. Sit on it It’s time to start slowly.”
Taking her compliments lightly, Rougiena beckoned her couch and took a seat on the edge of hers first.
Gaon, who gathered the people who were looking around, sat next to him and waited for the auction to start.
And after a while, a host with a smirk appeared in the hologram window that illuminated the stage of the auction house.
-Hello. Ladies and gentlemen! 1st time! Welcome to Lucipheon Auction! My name is Ludio, and I am the moderator of this auction. I look forward to!
Clap clap clap clap
The sound of applause filled the surroundings as soon as Luvio, the host, finished his words.
The presenter, who bowed in different directions and bowed, waited for the applause to stop before continuing.
– I don’t want to drag you out for a long time. Let’s start the auction right away. The first auction item is the famous space wizard in ancient times. This is the last Arcane Spellbook that Vitoli left behind before his lifespan ended. The auction price will start at 100,000 gold!
The auction started, and the enthusiasm soared in an instant with the enthusiastic support of the people. At other auction houses, the main item was coming out from the beginning, so it was understandable.
Gaon, who was happy to watch the products being sold at the price of the ceiling lot with fierce competition following, whispered softly to Lujiena, who was sitting next to her.
“Lugiana. By the way, are you acquainted with Rivera Dracanis, whom you met earlier?”
“Huh? Rivera? She just happened to know her. She made her request 15 years ago saying she was looking for her grandfather.”
“Fifteen years?”
The grandfather of Rivera Drakanis is a Transcendentalist who has reached the 11th level. It was all thanks to him that she hadn’t had anything wrong with her even though she had put forward the condition that she would grant any wish to her challenger.
Even in her previous life, her wanderlust was so severe that there were more times when she was not attached to the grand duke’s family than when she was not.
While Gaon was thinking about the transcendental beings he should be wary of, Lujiena suddenly changed her words.
“You said it wrong. It’s not 15 years, it’s 1 year and 5 months.”
“Yes? You just said 15 years.”
“Well, you just have to accept that you found out like that! Anyway, not 15 years. Okay?”
“All right. Anyway, it wasn’t all that great. Fortunately, the.”
Rouge, who was glaring at her with a sullen expression, wondering what she didn’t like so much, I let out a sigh of relief at her and asked her in reverse.
“Are you okay with that? The woman is much stronger than she is on her own. She’s human on the outside, but she’s no different from a dragon.”
“I already know that. Anyway, she’s only a 10-star after all,”
“Aren’t you looking at 10 stars too funny? You are only 8 stars right now. Do you think it’s possible to jump over the second level?”
It’s already been a year since I’ve been stagnant at 8 stars. It can be said that it is impossible to reach 10 stars beyond 9 stars in 3 years.
But that’s just a matter of common sense. It is different when a variable called a regressor intervenes.
“Don’t worry too much. Because there are ways Ruggiena, do you think I would do something without thinking?”
“… It’s not like that, but it’s not normal. Rivera really doesn’t put ejaculation in her hands. I intend to kill you.”
“Say so. Then you will be treated worse.”
Although Gaon also went over for the sake of her auction, she did not forget her resentment for recklessly attacking her first.
Even if she had no real intention of striking, the act of recklessly sticking her tail in front of the opponent’s eyes was unpleasant.
You need to give your soul firmly.
At Gaon’s confident words, Lujie made her bizarre expression as if she didn’t understand, then let out a sigh and shook her head.
“Yeah, do whatever you want. I’m not stupid, so I’ll do my best. I do not know.”
“Look at me from the side. You will know what I mean.”
“Joy…”
Ruggiena snorted at her.
This is because the words to watch by Gaon’s side were interpreted as meaning to be together forever. It’s disgusting to see her say things like that casually.
‘I’ll give you an answer.’
She confessed, but Gaon still hasn’t said a word about him. Of course, she has no choice but to be impatient for her own sake, but she has no choice but to hurt her sarcasm by saying such an embarrassing thing casually.
Rouge I glanced at Gaon again, who was concentrating on her auction, then buried her body deep into her sofa.
.
.
.
Time passed, and finally it was our turn.
– Did you all have fun? Finally, the long-awaited final auction! Probably everyone who came here had their expectations. We will reveal it right away!
Papa papapat!
Several spotlights installed on the ceiling lit up at once and illuminated the center all at once.
There, a blue gem encased in hard glass enchanted with magic was shining brilliantly.
Admiration flowed from the audience at the figure that evoked the deep, dark yet profound magical power.
-Oh oh! That’s it!
– It’s so beautiful!
– That’s great!
Among the people here who have considerable money and power, not many people have seen the magic core in real life.
All of them are admiring, but they scan all directions with greedy eyes.
But she couldn’t have neglected her vigilance in Lucipheon. Above all, since those who had the financial power to purchase the magic core had their eyes wide open, they couldn’t move hastily.
After the announcement, the moderator, who was silent for a while, continued speaking as soon as the cheers of the people subsided.
– This is an item found in the mines of the Priscilla estate located in the western part of the empire. The default auction price will start at 10 million gold! Then the auction starts right away!”
At the same time as announcing the start of the auction like that.
– Aaah! 1 million! That’s 100 million gold! Customer number 17 presented 100 million gold!
A total of 30 people received invitations from Louisiana. If it was number 17, it was definitely the number assigned to Rivera, whom she had met earlier.
Longevity. Among them, he threw 100 million casually as if he had tremendous financial power, befitting the grand duke of Dracania, a country of dragon tribes.
Since then, other VVIP guests have joined the auction, but nothing compares to Rivera.
-3, 2, 1! With this, the magic core has been bid for 300 million gold!
In the end, the ownership of the magic hack ended with Rivera taking it. When the auction ended, the guests scattered to their respective destinations.
Those who won the auction headed to the reception room according to the guidance of the auction house staff to hand over the items, and those who did not leave the auction house.
And VVIPs wait for the winning bidder to arrive in their respective spaces.
And each member of the Gaon party was immersed in the afterglow of the auction.
“Turn it off! It was kind of fun!”
“300 million gold… How much is this?”
As always, Ha-yeon stretched her arms and judged the auction for fun, while Cho-rin couldn’t keep her mouth shut as she counted the amount she had earned today.
Only the magic core was worth 300 million gold, but there were countless other things sold, so if you put it all together, it would probably be around 350 million gold.
Since it was the first magic core auction in my life, the price was inflated by adding the symbolic meaning, but it must be an amount beyond imagination anyway.
‘With this, the empire is natural and I can expand my power to other countries.’
There are not many things in the world that cannot be solved with money. If this overwhelming financial power is mobilized, the plan can be accelerated.
His purpose is to prevent the end of the world. In order to do that, cooperation with other races, not just humans, was also an essential task.
Gaon left the room with his party.
“Then I’ll just go. Contact me if anything happens.”
“… Okay. Come in well You did a good job today.”
“What am I? See you next time.”
After a brief greeting with Rougiena, they left the auction house and returned to their quarters.
‘Tomorrow is the moving day.’
All the buildings to be occupied were already under contract. Tomorrow is the turn to find a new home with everyone.
Gaon closed his eyes with anticipation.

“Priscilla. I’m fine. I will come often.”
“Are you sure you come once a week? I can’t raise a child without a father.”
“Of course. Silion You shouldn’t make it hard for mom because you don’t have a dad either. Got it?”
“Flattery?”
The next morning, before leaving for the capital, Gaon was saying goodbye to the people he had a relationship with.
Priscilla already knew it, so she didn’t show a big reaction, and Silion tilted her head with an expression of ‘I don’t know what’s going to change since she doesn’t usually come anyway?’
After gently stroking the boy’s round hair, Gaon headed towards the Barrymore 3rd guild leader.
“Everyone has been very indebted. Especially Millenia. Living in the guild is over now.”
At Gaon’s words, Milenya laughed.
“Pu-huh! Certainly it is. It was a lot of fun, but I’m a bit disappointed. Will you come often?”
“Sure. Aren’t there guild members?”
While answering, Gaon looked at her brother and sister.
Raoul seemed to be a bit nervous because there were so many people, and Hazel was rolling her eyes, as if this situation was awkward.
“Brother… I’ll be waiting for you.”
“Don’t worry, I will protect you.”
Gaon smiled at the answers that matched their personalities and continued.
“Yes, the next time we come is the real battle. You should be as strong as you can until then. Got it?”
“Yes!”
“…”
Raoul responded loudly and Hazel nodded quietly. Gaon patted the shoulders of the two and looked at Simyeong.
Shim-young said she would take care of Raul and Hazel, but she refused to go to the capital. She says that whether she goes to the capital or she stays here, her own role is the same.
The truth is that she just wants to stay with Rubia, but since she doesn’t have any problems, she accepts.
“Simyoung, please take good care of the two of you.”
“Yep! Guild Master. Leave it to me.”
“Miss Rubia too.”
“Yes, thank you as always.”
As they continued their relationship for a long time, their affection for each other built up.
Maybe that’s why, these days, Shim-yeong seemed happier than ever. I hope that feeling lasts long.
Next up was Archbishop Antonio the Elder, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, but was not happy to see.
“I hope the Archbishop is doing well too.”
“Yes, if you find demons again, please tell us in advance. We are willing to cooperate.”
He was always one-sided towards the demons.
Gaon, who greeted everyone like that, went up to the gate with his party.
In fact, I don’t think it’s necessary to say goodbye without a promise, but isn’t it a bit like leaving without saying anything?
Finally, we exchanged smiles with everyone and moved to the capital.
