Sword King
#25. The Auction Event
The sky was a little cloudy that morning. The wind is a little bit tight. But that did not deter many private people and entourage from heading to the Ivory Tower auction hall. They were all hoping to get the item they wanted from the auction this time.
Lindu along with the new troupe entered the courtyard when a voice greeted.
"Young master Lindu and Miss Nirmala ? It's so nice to meet you here." Lindu and Nirmala turned towards a voice that had quite a familiar energy aura. Lindu smiled seeing Binu who was smiling widely standing next to the Goddess of Death and the three others. Nirmala frowned a little still there was a little annoyed at him seeing Binu.
"Let's see the King of Swords" the Goddess of Death greeted Lindu.
"It's great to see you again" said Lindu smiling kindly. Then looked at Binu who was smiling excitedly.
"You are developing a lot Binu" said Lindu while patting Binu on the shoulder. Lindu felt the aura of a golden-level swordsman radiating from Binu.
"He changed a lot after meeting you the Sword King" the Death Goddess chimed in.
"Yes, young master Lindu is my role model now. Hopefully there will be an opportunity later to follow young master Lindu wandering" Binu said expectantly. He looked at Nirmala.
"Miss Nirmala, thank you for the opportunity you asked me to give to young master Lindu. This opportunity I apologize for my actions first" Binu bowed his head to Nirmala. His attitude and speech felt sincere. No more arrogant and contrived aura. Binu the young man had changed, amazingly. What an amazing attitude Binu showed. A young master of the great Caniago clan could be sincere in apologizing.
Lindu introduced Seriti Merah, Datuak Batungkek Ameh and Wisesa to the Goddess of Death. They quickly became familiar. They already knew each other's names, even though they had only met the person this time.
The door of the Ivory Tower auction hall was opened. Guests and invitations began to enter one by one. A female servant greeted the arrival of Lindu and the entourage. The waiter looks at Lindu's invitation plaque and drives Lindu and his entourage to VIP room number three.
To reach the room, they passed through a fairly winding hallway. After going up to the second floor, they turned to the right. After passing through the hall wide enough and long they stopped in front of a wide door that was only closed with a thick curtain.
Lindu with the group entered a large and luxurious room. There is a thick Meranti wood table carved on the edge and base of the table legs. There are five seats facing behind the table. There are kettle and cup of pottery. There is also a bamboo roof filled with niro water and cups made of coconut shells. There are also two large plates of small meals and one pottery plate containing various fruits. From that room they could clearly see onto the auction stage.
On the first floor there is a bench in the stacking circling the stage. The back bench is higher than the front bench. The bench was already occupied by the guests
VIP room on the second floor. All VIP rooms face braids. There are four special VIP rooms with larger sizes than other VIP rooms, namely VIP 1, 2, 3 and VIP 4. The smaller VIP room is on the right left of the special VIP, lined with five rooms. The Caniago clan is in VIP room 11, across from Lindu's room.
The event opened with Indang dance a welcome dance dedicated to the invitees. After the Indang dance, a man took to the stage. A sky high level energy aura seeped out from his body. He bowed his body saluting the guests.
"Welcome all brothers."
"Include me Angry Zainal. I opened this auction. There are 125 items of goods that we will auction. We'll auction the goods in two sessions."
Angry Zainal was an elder in the Marunggai Ameh sect. He was a tier six alchemist. The level is very high, because the level in the alchemist world is only up to level eight. Nevertheless tier six alchemists were the highest, for the time being in the Golden continent.
Enraged Zainal headed the alchemist unit in the Marunggai Ameh sect.
His arrival to the Ivory Tower auction hall was related to the purple Wijaya Kusuma flower. He must ensure the authenticity of the flowers Vijaya Kusuma purple color. As a tier six alchemist, he was well versed with that extremely rare spirit plant.
Angered Zainal came to the Ivory Tower auction hall two days ago. Last afternoon Angku Tambusai showed the tanchi pill left by the main Lindu at auction. As the alchemist king of the Golden continent of course Angry Zainal was shocked beyond measure. He felt like he saw a god-made pill. Seeing the color and aroma of the tanchi pill, Angry Zainal was blown away. As an alchemist king he was only able to make tanchi pills with 75% purity%. It's not easy to make it either. So the price of a 75% purity tanchi pill is very high. It can reach fifty thousand gold coins.
"Alright, the auction show is about to start. For that we call the auction guide Miss Yu Lien."
A woman with oriental beauty took to the stage as an auction guide. Yu Lien was a native of the Tionggoan continent. Beautiful face with white skin and body. Most of the men who participated in the auction were fascinated. Yu Lien was taken from the auction hall of the central Ivory Tower in Gadang. The sensual woman was the supreme leader of the entire Ivory Tower auction hall. Yu Lien was an extremely strong female swordsman. The sensual woman was already at the peak sky level.
"This first session auction we start with a sky-level heirloom." A young man was carrying a carved black wooden box. Put the box on a small table near Yu Lien.
"This heirloom is Kerambit Kumala." Everyone present was shocked to see the tiny weapon when the wooden box was opened.
There is a Kerambit with a handle of bluish-green Kumala stone. Warangka Kerambit is made of shiny black ulin wood. There is the size of a butterfly perched above the lotus flower. That little gun is beautiful.
But not the carving or the shape that makes a scene. The Kumala Kerambit weapon has been missing for almost a thousand years, along with its owner. Everyone in the jungle knows that the treasure weapon belongs to the Angel of the Holy Moon. A beautiful woman and never grow old. The Angel of the Holy Moon is also a very powerful female warrior who lived more than a thousand years ago. He was the one who created the Punch Without Ujud and the sword style of the Angel Dance.
The Weapon of the Holy Moon Angel was twofold, a sword not too long. That sword was the sword that Lindu now belonged to, that was the Dew Mustika Sword. The weapon in particular but very rarely used is the Kumala Kerambit which is now auctioned.
"You know who these heirloom weapons belong to... This Kumala Kerambit is the weapon of the Holy Moon Angel. We started the auction price at a price of a thousand gold pieces with a minimum increase of a hundred pieces."
"A thousand hundred" came the female voice from room VIP 2 bidding.
"Thousand-five hundred" a soft melodious voice sounded from the VIP room 15. Almost all the men present looked towards the VIP room 15. They had one wish, wanting to know who the owner of the voice was. From the VIP room 24 came another sound of bidding.
"One thousand eight hundred"
"Two thousand" was heard again an offer from the VIP room 7
"Two thousand five hundred" again came a soft melodious voice from the VIP room 15. VIP Room 15 is occupied by the God's Palm sect. They had arrived in Pariaman for about three days. Because the event in the West Alang sect is still one week long, they used to live in the city of Pariaman. When they heard there was an auction they delayed the trip by following the auction first.
Wisesa looked at her teacher Datuak Batungkek Ameh. The gray-haired man nodded. Wisesa asked Lindu for permission and then offered.
"Two thousand seven hundred"
"Three thousand" came another sound from VIP room 7. VIP room 7, occupied by the middle sect of the Duo area sabaleh Anam lingkuang. Kerambit Sakti Sect. Kerambit Kumala prices continue to soar higher. Actually, the price of twenty-five thousand pieces of gold is worth it for the heirloom weapon.
"Fifteen thousand pieces" again sounded the voice of Inyiak Karambit Sati, Patriarch of the Kerambit Sakti sect.
Lindu looked at Wisesa. The young man had already stopped bidding when the price quote had already reached ten thousand pieces. Wisesa shook her head in response to Lindu's gaze. The atmosphere began to heat up. The entourage of the God Site is a little confused to see Dhamma Mayang the Angel Suvarnabhumi so want Kerambit Kumala. They all know the Angel Suvarnabhumi never used kerambit as a weapon. The angel Suvarnabhumi was also bigung with himself. He felt there was closeness to the Kumala Kerambit. He also heard a subtle whisper, that he should have the Kumala Kerambit. That's all !
Inyiak Karambit Sati also really wanted Kerambit Kumala. He had faith, by obtaining Kerambit Kumala, his sect would develop into a large sect. This is Karambit Sati when he heard a very high offer from VIP room 15.
"Twenty-five thousand pieces of gold" the Angel of Suvarnabhumi again gave a very high offer. The auction hall became quiet hearing the bidding. Suddenly there was a coughing sound from VIP room 7.
It turned out that the Karambit Sati Inyiak was sending an intermediate sky level profound energy attack to the 15th VIP room. But the sneak attack was returned. As a result, Inyiak Karambit Sati coughed up blood. The fifty-year-old man was unable to accept that return. His face turned pale.
The auction for Kerambit Kumala was won by VIP room 15. The Angel Suvarnabhumi received Kerambit Kumala, who was delivered by a servant and paid for it.
Inyiak Karambit Sati with the group left the VIP room 7 that he occupied. However he sent two sect elders towards the VIP-2 room occupied by the Bone Tambun Demon sect, and the VIP-13 room occupied by the Poison Cell Sect.
