Chapter 13: The Auction
At night in Shakrun...
"Good night ladies and gentlemen! as always, the day we will hold an auction for the purchase of legendary-level gear and above! therefore, without further ado. Let's start with the first gear!" Speak the host.
*Applause
*Applause
The audience applauded.
Augustus and Lina were following an auction conducted at night inside the merchant city of Shakrun. Because Augustus wanted to buy a gear with a legendary rating using his money.
The auction itself was held underground, located in one of the night markets located within the city of Shakrun.
There are many auctions held, but according to Lina, the place where the sale of gear called Lorentz is the best place with quality and complete gear.
Therefore, now Augustus was inside the basement of the Lorentz store located in the night market.
"The first gear to be sold tonight is a legendary ranked boot item with level 1! the price starts at 1000 Gold! does anyone want to add?" Ask the host.
"1200 Gold!" Shouted number 20
"1400 Gold!" Shouted number 67
"2000 Gold! Shouted number 34
"Number 34 offers 2000 gold! does anyone still want to add?" Ask the host.
The audience fell silent in response to the host's question.
"Then it's decided! legendary gear boots rank 1 will be sold to number 34! let's start with the next gear." The host gave a signal to the event organizer to bring the next item.
The show women immediately brought new legendary gear in the form of bright blue heavy armor covered by a glass box.
"This is a legendary Gear that comes from the Skydos sky city! level 2 and have pretty good quality! you can see for yourself with the shiny blue color because it is made of sapphire!"
The audience was stunned by the blue-colored beauty of the sapphire that came from the heavy armor.
The auction is about to begin.
"This beautiful legendary gear with tier 2 will be on sale starting from the price of 2000 Gold! does anyone want to add?" Ask the host.
"2100 Gold!" Shouted number 2
"2200 Gold! Shouted number 5
"2300 Gold!" Shouted number 90
"2700 Gold!" Shouted number 78
"4000 Gold! Shouted number 34
"Wohoooo! number 34 started bidding again for 4000 gold! does anyone want to add?"
"4100 Gold" Shouted number 78
"4500 Gold" Shouted again number 34
"4500 Gold! will number 34 win the auction again?" The atmosphere at the auction began to heat up.
Number 34 in the right corner of the auction chair laughed at the number 78 who was trying to fight him.
Number 78 was desperately adding another offer he wanted to take for the legendary blue heavy armor gear.
"5000 Gold!" Shouted number 78.
"5000 Gold! does anyone want to add more?"
"5500 Gold" Shouted Number 34.
"Ughh! you bastard!" Shouted number 78.
"Oops don't bring violence in this auction okay? number 34 offers 5500 Gold! does anyone want to add more?"
Number 78 threw away his face in annoyance. While number 34 laughed happily because he saw his opponent lose.
No one wants to add any more.
"Then it's decided! the legendary Saphire ranked 2nd gear heavy armor will be sold to number 34! let's start with the next amazing gear!"
"It looks like the person number 34 is a collector, it would be hard to deal with him." Lina.
Augustus shocked his eyes. "Collector? what do you mean it's a person who likes to collect things?"
"Yes that's right. Such people usually tend to be arrogant and like to make others upset because of the gold is quite a lot. When he locked onto the item he wanted to buy, there was usually no one who could fight against him."
"Hadehhh... Did I deal with the P2W guy this time?" Grumpy Augustus.
"Huh? P2W what is it?" Ask Lina
"N-it's nothing just ignore my talk earlier. Look, the third gear auction is about to begin."
Lina turned her gaze towards the auction stage again. "You're right. Looks like this time it's going to be hotter than ever." Lina.
This time an emerald-colored armor was brought into the middle of the auction stage that was covered with a golden box. The Augustus who saw it already knew that the gear was quite valuable and would be expensive.
"Let's start with our third gear! this time, I will introduce you all! the original gear that came from the Elf forest! made of real and 4-storied Emerald diamonds! A masterpiece made original by an Elf craftsman!" Shouted the host.
*Applause
*Applause
Lina was an Elf race, therefore Augustus asked her directly.
"Yes that's right, no doubt it's a masterpiece from one of the Elf's best craftsmen. I don't know how they can get that with the relationship of Elves and humans that are less harmonious, but that's why I said that Lorentz store is the best shop here." Answer Lina.
"That's it.." Augustus again directed his gaze towards the auction stage.
"Look! this best masterpiece! This level 4 Light Armor would be sold for a starting price of 5000 Gold! does anyone want to add?"
"7000 Gold!" Shouted number 34.
Instantly all buyers immediately undo their value when they see number 34 bid 2000 gold at once.
That's because they knew from previous auctions, that it was useless against number 34 who was a collector.
"Number 34 bids 7000 Gold! does anyone want to add more?" Shouted the Host.
The spectators were silent.
"My grandfather, it looks like the next one will be easy." Say Number 34.
"Then it's decided! the legendary Zamrud gear of rank 4 will be sold to number 34!" Shouted the host.
The buyers started one by one leaving the auction because they already knew they could no longer bid because the next item would be sold at a great price.
Of course number 34 was still in his seat, including the others who were still capable.
"Then let's start the highlight of the event today!" The host ordered the event organizers to bring the final gear which was the main gear to be sold at the current auction.
A diamond box was removed, and inside it contained a white Armor surrounded by sacred Auras like the MMORPG Game that August had seen.
Glossy, elegant, and definitely of very high quality. Everyone who saw it must have thought of it that way.
The host immediately began his final auction.
"This is a level 5 legendary Holy Sacred Armor that came directly from the Sanctuary!! that's true! a place different from the dimension we live in and is a dwelling place for the Angels!! sales started at 7000 Gold!!"
"7100 Gold." Shouted number 34.
"7500 Gold." Shouted number 15
"7800 Gold." Shouted number 11.
The buyers began scrambling over the price to get the armor.
While August was still thinking what he should do.
"Oi Lina, that level 5 armor doesn't cost much different from the previous level 4, can you tell me why?"
"It was because tier 5 was basically not much different from tier 4, it was just that its graceful appearance that made it different from tier 5.
"Hoooh yeah, I get it."
"8500 Gold!" Shouted number 81
"8800 Gold! Shouted number 34.
Augustus waited for the right time for himself to bid, because he intended to directly bid and get it instantly.
"9000 Gold!" Shouted number 94
"9050 Gold!" Shouted number 34
"Heeeh, it looks like number 34 has started to slack because of his finances that may have been stuck. Am I really Lina?" Ask Augustus.
"It seems like yes.different than before, this time he bid less. It's likely that he's been thinned for buying 3 gear before." Lina.
"Hoooh yes, then.." August prepared his number board.
"Number 34 bids 9050 Gold!!" Does anyone want to add more?!"
Buyers began to fall silent because they did not have more money.
Number 34 laughed at him.
"My nails, it looks like the people here can't fight me..." Say number 34.
In the midst of that silence. August raised his number board.
"10,500 gold!" Shouted number 2.
"What?!" Number 34 was shocked to hear Augustus.
Likewise with other spectators who were shocked to hear a fantastic number from number 2.
"10,500 Gold!!" Does anyone want to add anything?!" Shouted the host.
The audience was silent, including number 34 who could only bite his lips in annoyance.
"That guy!!! how dare he!!" Number 34 wanted to add more, but he could not because the money was up because he had bought 3 gear before.
No one added the price.
"Then, our final auction that is the 5th level Holy Sacred Armor today was won by number 2!! congratulations!!"
A standing ovation filled the auction room, while number 34 was still irritated as he stared intently at Augus.
