The Birth of the Black Death God (Remake)
Ch. 28
“Next! This is our second item! [Demon Scales Armor]. An armor made from the scales of the strongest monster in the Asgar forest, Demon Snake!”
“Armor is made by a reliable craftsman in the City. He had gotten the high quality Demon Snake scales from someone mysterious youth on the black market two days ago.”
“Unlike iron armor in general, this armor is very light and easy to use. You will still be able to move freely due to the flexibility of the scales of Demon Snake.”
“In addition to being flexible, this armor also gives its users magic resistance, as well as damage reduction due to physical attacks!”
Whisperers!
All the auction guests started talking about it.
“Who was so crazy that he defeated the predatory Demon Snake Apex? Even the best teams from this City will find it difficult to handle them.”
“The mysterious young man is definitely not from this City. Maybe he was from out of town, a bigger city like Jisa City.”
“Demon Snake is very famous for his cruelty and cunning, even if my level is higher than Demon Snake, I do not want to face the creature. That's creepy!”
In Aiter City, everyone in this city had a bad look at the apex predatory monsters in the Asgar forest.
Everyone looked badly at Demon Snake, not without reason. Two years ago, when there was a massive monster invasion of the city.
The city of Aiter suffered severe damage, and enormous losses. The casualties were numerous, and the injured people were countless. Whether it is the people who are native to Aiter City, or even those who come from outside the city, like other cities or people who come from villages.
Two years ago, there was an enormous Demon Snake, considered by everyone to be the leader of the invading monsters.
At least, at that time the Asgar forest was still stamped as a dangerous forest because the number of monsters living in the forest was very large.
That Demon Snake led over six thousand monsters to attack Aiter City. Two years ago, Aiter City was still in the development stage. And the people had no preparations to deal with the invasion of the monsters.
Until the invasion had lasted for ten days, someone from the Kingdom led a strong army consisting of the Royal army, and great adventurers from the Kingdom.
The blue flag bearing the symbol of a free-flying dove in the sky was raised by several front and rear winged soldiers.
Along the way, people saw it. Troops from the Kingdom came to overcome the invasion of large monsters that were declared very dangerous.
Everyone had expected their arrival long ago, yet they had only been able to come to this moment.
A nobleman led thousands of such troops to face the monsters that were still inside the City. And the city was cleared and secured.
However, the news of the monsters' deaths reached the ears of the leader of the Demon Snake's monsters. That makes him angry. As lowly creatures, how could they, humans defeat his troops who colonized the City.
As the leader of the monsters, Demon Snake instantly deployed his entire army to attack Aiter City again and exterminated the human army that had repulsed his army.
There was a great war on both sides. However, the monster Pinak was unable to stop the army of trained Humans. The abilities of the Royal soldiers were extraordinary, in that war only a few of them fell. Although many were injured, it was not life threatening.
He realized that he could no longer continue. The injured Demon Snake retreated with his remaining troops. Of the roughly six thousand monster troops, only about hundreds of them survived.
That day was a day of crushing defeat for the monsters. Of the ten days of the invasion they had carried out, this was their first and last defeat. Because since then until now there has been no more monster invasion that hit the city of Aiter.
As a reward for daring to lead the troops and solve the problems in Aiter City. Nobles who were then participating in the extermination of the monsters in Aiter City's reward for him.
Which Aiter City became his territory. And until now, Aiter City was still under the leadership of the nobility.
Right now, all gazes were fixed directly on the Demon Snake's scales armor. It seems like everyone wants it so much. This was a very step item, and it probably would not appear again at the next auction.
“The Starting Price is 1000 Gold Coins, and each raise is 400 Gold Coins!”
After that it was said. Everyone immediately raised their hands High and started bidding. Everyone seems very excited to have it.
Prices continue and continue to rise. From what was originally only 1000 Gold Coins to 7000 gold coins. It can be of great value, and how valuable the item is in the eyes of all of them.
At a time when everyone is bidding crazily. The back guest had absolutely no chance to bid. Because, they did not have enough money to bid. Even for the initial price alone it was already very difficult for them. It would be better if the money they save and to buy something more useful but cheaper.
Their small amount of money, and that small amount of money would not be able to compete at this auction. All the people in this place are people who have a lot of money. You can call it rich.
“Are you also not going to bid?” Mina asked Xi. This time it's better than ever. Obviously this was very useful for Xi because he was an adventurer.
Xi let out his breath, how could he possibly want to buy it? The item came from the scales of the monster that had been defeated, of course Xi himself knew the weakness of the armor.
“Although valuable, but those people have no chance to get it.”
“Ha? Why?” Mina bends confused.
“See Guest Number three in Black Zone. Until now he has not opened his voice.”
“Then?”
“Yang means he will bid at the last moment. He forced everyone in the Red Zone to take out the money, until he knew as much as they could, which was when he would bid higher, so he would, and after that there will be no more people who can compete.”
Mina began to understand Xi's line of thought. It's not about how good the goods are, but Xi is currently observing every opponent in this place. If now he started bidding, and provoking those people, then Xi would be hard-pressed to get something he wanted in this place.
Right now, Xi was letting everyone compete to find out what nominal money they could spend, and forcing the people in the Black Zone to spend the money.
If someone from the Blue Zone seemed to start bidding, then it would attract the attention of every single person in this room. All eyes will be on him, and it is not a good view.
“Congratulations to Honorable Guests of Black Zone No 3! You have obtained the Demon Armor scales!”
Surprisingly enough the person can still spend a lot of money. He bid for 12,000 gold Coins, and made everyone present in each Zone unable to rival him anymore.
Time passed quickly, of the eight items that were at auction, seven items had been sold, and all of them were taken by someone from the Black Zone No. 3. It was inconceivable how much money he had to be able to buy all the items at auction.
And now, there's only one left. This is the last one.
“Gentlemen and ladies! Attention please!” With a loud voice. Make all eyes on him directly.
“And this last one, we have a beautiful girl from the Beastman race Golden Fox.”
When it arrived. Curtains are open. Everyone could see it clearly with their eyes.
The ears and tail of the fox are golden in color. The ideal body posture is desired by all men. Her blue eyes were as beautiful as the moon shining at night, so beautiful and beautiful despite wearing only dull and shabby clothes. It does not diminish its value in the presence of those people.
“This girl is young and beautiful. He was a prima donna in his hometown. Her beauty is matchless with the other girls in her village-“
“I bid 5000 Gold Coins!”
Before the organizer finishes delivering. Suddenly someone from the Red Zone shouted and bid.
The organizer smiled faintly, looking down on the man with a cold gaze.
“No, no, no don't rush like that sir... Please bring with you someone who speaks to the end and don't interrupt.” His face smashed with an indescribable cold smile. “I have not mentioned the price, and the starting price is 10000 Gold Coins!”
When that price drops. Everyone was so surprised. It was not a small amount of money, they did not have that much money. Even though there were, those in the Red Zone were unlikely to be able to compete with the people in the Black Zone.
“ Se ten thousand..”
“Secantik it... It's only natural.”.
People seemed disappointed that they couldn't possibly get it. Even if they were to sell their own house, it would be impossible. It is far from enough.
Glancing to the right and left. Not the red zone he saw. However, the people from the Black Zone. And none of them have bid until now. Xi concluded, it seems like there should be someone who first bids new they will open their voice.
Xi raised his hand and immediately bid at a great price. “30000 Gold coins!”
As the voice echoed, everyone present in every Zone except the Black Zone was greatly shocked. And immediately set their shocked eyes and expressions on Xi.
“Gosh!”
“Who bid that big?”
Everyone was so surprised. Who bid not from the Black Zone, but from the Blue Zone. Even the waiter and organizer were so shocked.
“What?!” The waiter and organizer in unison.
Mina looked at Xi. His facial expression looks disappointed.’Xi looked very serious... But, indeed all men really like women who are more beautiful’ even though they do not want to think about it, but his heart still hurts. She thought Xi was different from the other men, and it turned out that her thoughts were wrong. He is the same as the men in general. He was very fond of satisfying his lusts with a slave. Mina threw her face away from Xi.
‘No need for further ado, let's see how high you can bid.’ Xi without a doubt. He challenged the people from the Black Zone to raise the price.
“30000 gold coins any others?”
Black Zone No. 3. He was a young man who looked the same age as Xi. He stood up from his chair and looked at Xi with a condescending look from up there.
“People, you're making me sick! Alright, I will follow your path, I will show you the difference between nobles and commoners like you! I bid 45000!”
Xi was silent but he smiled. Since the people from the other Black Zones looked uninterested in this one slave, yet he managed to lure people from the Black Zone No. 3. And that person blatantly mentioned himself to be a noble. With that, Xi knew that the one he was going to face was a person from a noble family. However, Xi did not intend to retreat this time, he would obtain it despite having to spend the Gold Coins system.
Yeah, that's not possible anyway.
“Why just that? Have you run out of your money? One hundred thousand gold coins!”
The young man of the Black Zone was shocked by the price Xi mentioned. That obviously makes no sense. For a commoner like him, how could it spend that much money? Does the money really exist?
The price drives him crazy. Even his family's finances aren't that much. He held his head, it hurt too much.
That kind of money could be used to buy a big castle, or even a small town. Hundred grand? Who can face it now.
Clenching her teeth in annoyance, she muttered ‘Is this girl really worth a hundred thousand gold coins? He's totally crazy!’
“Aaaaa, forget it! I surrender!”
“Is there anyone who wants to bid again?” Everything's silent. Large room with many people so quiet.”One hundred thousand, one... Two... Three... SOLD!”
“Congratulations to the young master there! You have got beautiful flowers!”
Everyone is dumbfounded. No one dared to bid more. They were thinking, what exactly did the Black Zone people do?
“Completed yes? Good though. Now I've got a Swodman. Let's go and grab.”
Mina surprised. “Ha? Swordman?”
“Job is Swordman. He also has some abilities. That will help me in the future.”
“Ja so... You bought it because he has talent?”
“Sure, what else is it?”
Mina smiled awkwardly. ‘I think I know what he's thinking... From the beginning, I didn't understand it at all. And also, it turns out that all this time I just misunderstood.’ His face turned red just from thinking about it. He was embarrassed, fortunately he did not reveal it at that time. Otherwise, Mina already did not know anymore how to show her face in front of Xi.
Xi looked back. Just then he saw Mina who lowered her head in embarrassment. However, Xi did not know about it, and could only show a puzzled expression.
They arrived in a room. There someone is waiting for their arrival.
“Honorary guest, please sit.” This middle-aged man spoke politely. He invited his guests to sit on the sofa that had been provided by the auction house.
The sofa is very good, and of high quality. And it seems that it is made of leather, you can see every side of the sofa sparkling. This sofa is always cleaned every day.
“Thanks.” Xi and Mina sat on the sofa. As they had expected from a famous place in the City. This sofa is really quality. Very soft and comfortable. Unlike most chairs or sofas in general.
“Please wait a minute Mr and Mrs. Your goods will be as late as arriving, the owner of the auction house himself who will deliver them to you.”
“Hmm, alright.”
Because the owner of the upcoming auction house delivered it himself. It is okay to be patient waiting. At least they should show a good impression to the host.
