Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 208: «Blood Stone».

The room we were going to occupy was a very large room. The room was beautifully decorated with a long sofa in the middle. That long sofa could at least accommodate up to fifteen people without any problems. In front of the sofa, there is a long table with snacks and tea that has been prepared.

This room has a large window that occupies one of the walls, facing right towards the auction room. The owner of the room can choose whether the window will be a one-way closed window so that the contents of the room are not visible from the outside, or windows without barriers that are not limited by anything so that the contents of the room can be seen from the outside or vice versa.

The first mode is usually chosen by people who want to maintain confidentiality, while nobles tend to choose the second mode to show their identity. Thus, the higher the level of nobility, the fewer there will be rivals. After all, it was not worth offending top-tier nobles just for auction items. They preferred to be on the good side of the upper class nobles and cultivate good relations.

The servants stood behind the sofa, while I sat in the middle. On my left was Felmina and mother, while on the right was father and mother. I beckoned to the waiter standing beside the door a bit away from us. The servant was a servant that the trading guild had prepared to serve the guests.

Seeing my gesture, the maid came forward to us and bowed respectfully. I flicked Alterion's gold coin, which was worth fifty continent coins at the moment. The coin circled in the air heading towards the servant. Seeing something coming towards him, the servant reached out to catch him.

As he opened his hand, he was surprised to see the gold coin in his hand. His hands trembled with eyes wide in shock. The servant did not speak as if his spirit had disappeared.

Filia:"I want to buy a list of auction items."

Only after hearing my request did the servant wake up and hold the coin tightly.

"S, I'll tell lady Lydia. Please wait a minute."

I nodded and let the waiter go. Father and the others saw my actions, but said nothing but a little surprise at the beginning.

For ordinary people it is impossible to buy an auction list, but if you have enough position and money, you can buy an auction list easily. The auction list not only contains the objects to be auctioned, but also contains all the information of those objects and the seller. Customers who purchase the auction listing will have complete information about the auction. That way, customers can choose objects to buy first and not waste money.

In addition, by knowing who the person who auctioned the item was, the customer could directly contact the seller for a private discussion so that the customer would not need to compete in the auction.

Moments later, Miss Lydia came along with the service. The servant walked behind Miss Lydia carrying a silver tray on which was a thick book.

Lydia:"I wonder who would dare to put out such a high price, it turns out that it was the Duke master and the family. Forgive me for not giving a worthy welcome."

Miss Lydia stopped beside our seat and bowed to pay her respects.

Rovell:"No. We came because we were accompanying Filia who wanted to see the auction."

Lydia:"It turns out that way."

Miss Lydia gestured to the maid using her finger. The waiter came forward and bowed respectfully in front of me while thrusting the tray. I just nodded and took over the book on the tray.

This book has over a hundred pages.

On the first to third pages of this book are twenty lists of items to be auctioned and the order of the auction. Perhaps because they did not know the name of the item to be auctioned, some things had very simple names, such as red stone chunks or others. Just from the name alone, it was hard for me to know what that thing was.

But I'm not worried. Right on page four, there is a picture of the object to be auctioned in the first order, and on page five there is a full description including the name of the seller and where it was found. Then on the next few pages there is a picture of the second auction object and on the next page is a complete description. The entire book contained such a thing in the order of the auction.

I slowly read every description of those auction objects. Although it was some interesting stuff in the beginning, but I think it was just some trash.

Up to the fifteenth page, I saw a picture of a dark red stone. The stone looks ordinary and inconspicuous, but it is said that this stone is obtained from the fog forest in the north which is very dangerous. There are ancient ruins that look very old recently discovered by several powerful adventure teams.

The ruins are not the ruins of a city or a palace, but they are the ruins of a temple. According to what is recorded in the description of this object, the temple was a temple of blood warriors who worshipped the god of war. Blood fighters fuse blood from monsters or other more powerful creatures to gain strength.

Their union is not perfect, so they need to keep adding various blood to be able to rise to the next level. For example, an ordinary human fused the blood of a Tier one monster, then if they wanted to increase the strength to Tier two, they would have to use the blood of a Tier two monster, instead, either monsters of the same type with Tier one or different monsters. That was why their blood was so mixed and would eventually damage their own bodies. For such blood warriors, it was extremely impossible for them to reach Tier five, even to become Tier four would be extremely difficult due to the impurities in their blood.

Different from a blood player like me. A blood player like me fuses blood perfectly and makes that blood grow with us. That was why when I became Tier four, all of my blood would be purified and unified into true blood essence, because it was not too complicated and that blood had already become my own blood, not a separate existence like those flawed blood warriors.

I don't know when the blood warrior concept came into existence, but according to father, it was, the blood warrior appeared around twenty thousand years ago during a time of chaos where all races fought each other and elves were still enslaved and hunted by humans.

The stone found in the rest of the temple was inconspicuous in addition to its extremely strong blood scent. If the stone had not been placed on the altar of worship, the adventurers would not have carried the stone.

They had already tried various ways to benefit from the stone, including forging it. But the nature of the stone is not very suitable to be made a weapon, so they undo the idea and prefer to send it to a certain expert place to be examined. According to the researcher, this red stone is a blood essence beast that is so strong that it is worshipped by blood fighters.

Feeling that the stone was of no use to them, the adventurers ended up sending the stone to the auction house which was going to be at auction on the fifth order.

Other people don't know, but maybe I know what this rock is. If my guess is not wrong, the stone should be the precious «Blood Stone». It seemed like before the blood warriors went extinct, they found a better way to become stronger than having to continue fusing the blood of other beasts that would eventually drive them crazy and die.

Blood stones would only be born in a place where there were once many people who died in that place. In other words, blood stones are born in former battlefields or places deliberately made to give birth to blood stones for the benefit of some parties.

Blood stones were a collection of the blood essence of many of the purest living beings. To use that blood essence requires a special way. If diluted using special water, then the blood essence liquid can purify or strengthen the blood. If I use that liquid to soak, then my blood will become stronger. But the presentation of its success is only about 10% because the stronger the blood, the more difficult it is to increase its purity.

But that way of use is the most wasteful way. My own blood includes a combination of three very pure blood types, so I can only purify it by continuing to become stronger. The best way to remove a blood stone is to give it to the blood race. In this case, then Upirina is the best choice.

Although it looks the same as a blood stone, but I'm not too sure because I haven't seen it myself. Never mind, I can keep buying it. I am not short of money anyway.

I kept flipping through the pages on this book and looked at some valuable Tier four and five medicinal herbs. There are at least a dozen of them sold in packages.

Many objects or jewels were found in the ruins of the ancient empire, but I did not care about the trash. I ignored those things and headed straight to the last page. On the last page is a picture of a glass bottle with white liquid inside.

The description said that the liquid was a healing potion from a very powerful ancient time. In this book it is written, this liquid is able to regrow limbs that have been severed so that the effect is slightly stronger than the top-tier military potions that exist at this time.

Filia:"Miss Lydia!."

Lydia:"Please tell Philia's daughter."

Filia:"Last auction, why is something like this at auction?."

Miss Lidia looked at the page of the book I saw that still showed the potion image. Miss Lydia smiled and explained:

Lydia:"The early owner of the potion sold it out of desperation. He is being hunted by gambling houses because he has so much debt. He hoped to sell the potion at a good price and pay off his debt. But, that person was a gambling maniac. He mortgaged his wife's house to gamble. That guy is really trash... Oh, sorry I'm being disrespectful."

Filia:"It's okay, I understand. In that case, I want the fifth, tenth to twelfth auction item. I'll bid it at a higher price than the highest auction price."

Miss Lydia made some notes in the little book she took out of her pocket. Rather than me needing to discuss the price with the original seller which was definitely troublesome, I would rather bid higher than the highest auction price.

For the latter, I will go to the auction and press the lowest price possible. I'm fine for money, but giving money to a gambling maniac?. Sorry I didn't want to do it.

I handed the book to my father to see. Dad seemed interested in a few things including some jewelry and some magic materials. For mom and mom, they were both very excited to discuss jewelry and others, looking very harmonious. After everything was settled, Miss Lydia left our room.

After waiting for a while, the auction finally began. I walked to the window and looked at the venue directly. Downstairs a lot of people were sitting for the auction. They came from some interested people or low-class nobles who did not get to the place.

In some of the other VIP room windows, I could see some of the noble families I had met at the party. They smiled at me, so I responded to them with a polite bow. After all, I am the son of the Duke family who is of course a lower position than a real noble. But they still have to respect me because of the background

my family is much stronger than them.

An old man came to the venue. The old man was a trading guild person who served as an auctioneer this evening.

"Good night to the visitors, welcome to this year's spring auction. As of tonight, the trading guild has collected valuable and rare objects of high historical value for you..."

After finishing giving a few words of welcome, the auction finally really started. The first auction was a blue gemstone the size of a baby's fist. The gemstone is only pure as jewelry without any particular function. But blue gemstones of such size are very rare and almost impossible to find on the market. Being able to gather such a thing, the trading guild actually had a strong relationship.

"These "blue gemstones were in the direct mines of the imperial sea mines. Seeing from the color and brightness and size, gemstones like this are impossible to find on the market... Without me explaining much, of course you already know the value of this stone. So let's start the offer right away. The initial price is one gold coin and the price is fifty percent and above."

"Of course we know how much it's worth. I think this price is too low. I bid two gold coins."

"Humphs. My family has been in the jewelry business for a long time, of course I know how valuable the gem is. I bid two gold five silver."

"..."

The fishing words of the auctioneer had actually aroused the arrogance of some people which made them want to accentuate themselves and bid at a high price grab flaunting their own knowledge. I have to say that the way is pretty good for fishing deals.

In the end, the gemstone was bought by people from the largest jewelry store in the capital at a price of five gold and eight silver. The price was already very high and unaffordable for ordinary people. But even though it is expensive, the jewelry store will never lose money. Aside from the free publicity, they will also be able to attract more attention of customers to come to their jewelry store.

Of course the nobles were able to bargain, but the nobles did not lack such things. Even if they didn't have one, they could obtain a gem similar to relying on their strong relationship.

The second thing at auction is a painting made by a famous painter several hundred years ago. His paintings are very much in the interest of the nobles. Therefore, this second auction was controlled by nobles who were eventually won by nobles from the empire at the price of ten gold coins, or one continental coin. Very high price for personal satisfaction.

I saw that imperial noble. He was an old man about thirty years old with an arrogant face. Beside her was a blonde girl with green eyes who was the same age as me. For some reason, when I saw the girl I felt like there was a certain relationship. I don't know why and stop thinking about such irrelevant things.

Grab...!

Suddenly I felt like someone was pulling on my sleeve. When I turned my head, I saw Felmina who was holding onto my sleeve. He looked towards the girl with a strange and surprised look.

Filia:"Felmina, what's wrong?."

Felminas:"Ah... No, there's no."

I feel weird about Felmina, but I don't think about it too much. I looked again at the girl and she gave me a smile. I just returned his smile and refocused on the auction.

Mama and mother also joined the auction and managed to obtain the third and fourth auction items. The two objects are some beautiful jewelry found from ancient imperial ruins. Being able to survive until now, it proves that the jewelry is not an ordinary object. Therefore, no less than five continental coins managed to burn for each piece of jewelry.

Finally what I was waiting for arrived. At the fifth auction, a blood stone finally appeared. A maid pushed the trolley over which was a tray. On the tray, the stone was lying there and covered with a red cloth.

When the cloth cover was opened, I could immediately smell the scent of blood from the stone. The stone was quite large with a powerful aura. This surprised me because a normal blood stone should not have such a powerful aura.

«Omnicient eye»

...----------------...

«Blood Stone»

The stones formed as a result of the accumulation of blood from countless high-level living things around 10 billion years ago. This stone contains blood origin energy that is very beneficial to the blood race and is able to increase their understanding of the creation of the world.

...----------------...

Bang...!

The edge of the window I was holding shattered due to the grip of my hand that was too strong.

It can't be...!!.

Too shocking...!!.

Seeing such a description, I was really surprised. What does it mean to be able to increase the understanding of world creation?.

That meant that the stone could help the blood race to advance to a Tier six God. Not just an ordinary Tier six, but a Tier six with the world. The difference between Tier six with the world and Tier six was as ordinary as the comparison between fireflies and the sun, very much different.

"This blood stone was obtained from _"

Philia:"Ten ancient coins...!"

After the riots at the academy, there will be a time skip. I don't know what you think...
