Sword King
#24. Selling the Results
That morning, the One rame restaurant was visited by people from the peach forest for breakfast. Lindu didn't eat breakfast. He only drank a glass of bitter coffee and three grains of sala lauak. He sat down to accompany his friend for breakfast. The cup actively captures various chats of restaurant visitors.
From one of the tables he heard there was an auction event that would be held tomorrow there would be an auction event at the Ivory Tower Auction Hall. He thought he would ask that when visiting Ustano Ivory Tower later.
After breakfast, Lindu, Wisesa and Nirmala went to Ustano Ivory Tower. The three of them walked around casually while chatting. The people on the street looked at them with admiration. A very beautiful woman and two truly handsome young men attracted attention.
Many young men and women were looking at them. The youths were almost all fascinated to see the beauty of Nirmala so stunning. But they did not dare to disturb, there was Wisesa who looked like a swordsman with two handles of pepper mashed daggers sticking out on his waist.
The sun had risen as high as a piece, the warmth of the sun began to feel. People are getting more and more passing by. Many entourage from the various sects and clans seen walking might enjoy the atmosphere of the city.
Lindu, Nirmala and Wisesa continued to walk leisurely towards Utano Ivory Tower. Of course Nirmala knows where the Ivory Tower is located. It did not feel like they were in front of Ustano Ivory Tower. The Utano resource shop of Ivory Tower in Pariaman city looks magnificent. Standing at a busy crossroads. It consists of two large buildings. The first building is a three-story building. It is better than any other building around it. The building has two faces facing two streets. In front of the building there is a signboard shop written with a gold-colored embossed letter USTANO MENARA GADING.
The second building is larger than the first. Almost twice. Although the height of the building is almost the same, the second building is only two floors. It is behind the first building but faces the side road. There was a large courtyard in front of him with eight nyiur trees. In front of the building there is a signboard AUCTION HALL IVORY TOWER.
A shopkeeper approached Lindu's entourage as soon as they entered the Ivory Tower.
"Please Tuangku, please Rangkayo, Ivory Tower will be able to meet what you need." The waiter greeted me kindly.
Lindu looked into the store that was already crowded with visitors. He handed over the gold tokens he received from Limbubu. The servant received the golden plate and the servant bowed deeper.
"Sorry, my Tuangku, please follow me" the shopkeeper brought Lindu and the others to a room on the second floor. The room was not large, but the impression of luxury reflected from the order of space and table chairs inside.
"Please wait a minute. I'll tell Angku Tambusai the head of the Ivory Tower."
The waiter left after providing drinks and small meals. Lindu with Nirmala and Wisesa sat down while sipping a drink of sweet-tasting niro water. A gentle breeze flowed into the room from the open window.
Not so long ago, the shopkeeper returned with a man in his thirties. Appearance like a cultural and unpretentious. Yet from his body emanated the energy of a sky-level swordsman. Lindu, Nirmala and Wisesa stood up to and slightly lowered their heads in welcoming him. The man smiled kindly and introduced himself
"I'm Tambusai, please sit down ?"
The man said kindly seeing Lindu and his two friends standing up. Tambusai pulled out a chair and sat in front of Lindu. The man looked at them for a moment in turn. There was a glimpse of admiration flashed in his eyes when he saw Nirmala and Wisesa. The genius of young genius thought. Admiring Nirmala who was already at the king level despite only eleven years. But he hesitated a little when he was unable to read Lindu's level. The handsome young man introduced himself and Nirmala and Wisesa to Tambusai. Angku Tambusai stood up from his chair, bowing to Lindu while handing over Lindu's gold token.
"It is a great honor for me to be able to get acquainted with the Sword King. Is there anything I can do for a young swordsman ?" Angku Tambusai asked kindly. All managers and leaders of Ustano Ivory Tower have received information about Lindu. A handsome young man with extremely high abilities. He was given the title of King of Swords by the Lightning Sword.
Lindu received back the gold token and kept it in his pocket.
"Sorry Angku Tambusai, is Ustano Ivory Tower willing to buy spiritual beast skins ?"
"Yes.we buy skin, flesh and silver-level spiritual crystal stones and above. Is the Sword King willing to sell his quarry ?" My lord Tambusai asked Lindu. Lindu took out the skin of the Iron Horned Diamond Buffalo along with its horns. Angku Tambusai was surprised to see it. The Iron Horned Intan buffalo was a sky level spiritual beast. Only the sacred swordsman upwards is capable of killing this animal. Is the Sword King already at the holy level ? Angku Tambusai wondered in his heart.
"Is this young man the level of the Patriarch of the Gold Marungai sect, or higher ? Who is this young man who holds the title of Sword King actually ? The age of his bones was still a dozen years old but his strength was like a swordsman who was over hundreds of years old...??!" Many questions raged in the head of Angku Tambusai.
"King of the Sword, if you agree this skin and horn we value twenty-five thousand gold pieces." After a moment of silence Lindu nodded his head in agreement with the price offered by Angku Tambusai. Angku Tambusai handed over a storage bag containing twenty-five thousand gold pieces. Lindu receives and saves it to his universe ring.
"Lala, take out your hunting" Lindu asked Nirmala to release the hunting results he got in the Rimbo Toboh forest. Nirmala flicked her hand. In front of them appeared six Fire Wolf skins and three Green Sanca skins and five White Horn Deer skins, along with their horns. Angku Tambusai looked at Wisesa. Understanding the meaning of Angku Tambusai's gaze, Wisesa let out a voice.
"I have no quarry" The young man smiled and shook his head.
"Thank you Angku Tambusai for accepting my hunting. Oh yes call me Nirmala only" Angku Tambusai smiled at Nirmala and handed over the storage bag of thirty thousand gold pieces.
After the transaction of the hunted, hunted Lindu asked about the auction.
Angku Tambusai explained the auction ceremony to Lindu. What are the rules that must be obeyed by auction participants. Also what kind of goods can be auctioned. The three of them heard Angku Tambusai's explanation seriously.
"Are we allowed to attend the auction ?" Lindu asked Angku Tambusai. "Can I nitip this for auction ?"
Angku Tambusai received a small pottery bottle containing five tanchi pills. He opened the bottle cap and took out a light green pill. A strong herbal aroma filled the room. They feel fresh when inhaling the fragrant aroma of the herb. Angku Tambusai hastily stored back the pill.
"Is this a tanchi pill ?!"
"Yes.it's a hundred percent purity tanchi pill" Lindu explained. Angku Tambusai was very happy. The auction hall will have two main products for the auction tomorrow. After storing the small pottery bottle, Angku Tambusai gave an auction invitation plaque to Lindu.
"This is an invitation plaque for VIPs" Lindu received an auction invitation plaque from Angku Tambusai. After saving the invitation plaque, Lindu said goodbye with Nirmala and Wisesa to Angku Tambusai.
Arriving at the One Inn, they returned to their respective rooms. Wisesa immediately met his teacher Datuak Batungkek Ameh.
"Teacher.... It turns out that the King of Swords who during this trip we heard the person was with us" Datuak Batungkek Ameh looked at Wisesa with a questionable gaze.
"Yes... Lindu is the King of Swords whose name we hear so often." Wisesa then told all the events in Ustano Ivory Tower this afternoon to his teacher. Datuak Batungkek Ameh heard all the stories of Wisesa with his mouth half open.
In the evening, Red Seriti invited everyone to gather. They were treated to a special drink of talua tapai tea and snacks. Red Seriti explains that she's at the auction tomorrow. He asked anyone who would come. Ni Nur will buy an invitation to attend the auction.
"Teacher.... Is that the auction that the Ivory Tower auction hall held ?" Nirmala asked Seriti Merah. "If so, don't buy invitations."
Seriti Red looked at Nirmala, then looked at Lindu and Wisesa. Datuak Batungkek Ameh also did the same. Wisesa didn't tell me what the auction was about when she came home this afternoon.
"Suda Lindu already got the VIP invitation plaque from Angku Tambusai" Nirmala explained. Lindu nodded confirming what Nirmala said.
"What would you buy at the auction ?" Lindu asked the Red Seriti.
"The auction this time there is a spirit plant flowers Vijaya Kusuma purple color. I've been looking for that flower for ten years. I should get the flower" the Red Seriti's face exuded a very strong determination as it said. Lindu nodded his head at Seriti Merah as if to convince Seriti Merah that his intention would be carried out.
