The Birth of the Black Death God (Remake)
Ch. 29

Waiting for the man to come. Xi took off the mask he was wearing. It had been a long time since the auction began. And it made her feel uncomfortable, hiding her face in the mask's trunk was quite tiring. Although good because his identity is not known by people, but sooner or later people will also know.

Seeing Xi take off his mask. Mina also took off her mask. There were a few specks of water on his face, it was sweat. This is natural, because continuing to wear a mask without removing it will make the face become sultry, so that sweat will wet the face to keep the face moist.

The old servant approached them. And give them each a towel to clean their sweaty faces.

“Please.” Give.

“Thank” Accept.

Xi looked around the room. It looks like there is a lot of stuff in it, it looks like it is the stuff that should be at auction.

Of all the items neatly arranged on the table there, there was one item that caught his attention.

However, before he picked it up, Xi asked the old servant.

“Is the stuff on sale?”

Looking towards Xi pointed. The old servant nodded and replied. “True young master.” The items that were on the table there should have been items that were sold at auction before. However, it still remained there probably because the items did not sell well or were of no interest to the auction participants. “Is there something you want?”

Xi nodded in confirming. “Iya, Please. Can you get that thing?” The servant was quite master so Xi spoke politely. Although the status of the middle-aged man was a servant, Xi still looked at him as an old man. Since the middle-aged man was older than him, that reason was enough for him to be polite. That's why he asked for help.

Xi did not want origin to act to cause trouble to the old man because he carelessly touched the other person's goods, after all the old man was a good person, so it was only natural. Who knew that stuff could be touched? Of course there was nothing, except the people who took care of this auction house.

“Sure, please wait a minute. I'll get you.”

Xi nodded in agreement. After that, the old servant walked away leaving the two of them and quickly picked up the item Xi wanted.

The curious Mina asked Xi. “Is there anything interesting with iru objects?”

Xi shrugged both of his shoulders together. He didn't know, just that his instincts told him it was a good item. “Entahlah... Just follow my instincts.”

Sure, who believes that. Even a fool would not believe his words. Just relying on instinct to get something good that sounds absolutely impossible. Although luck exists, but it certainly cannot be triggered by it. There will only be stones, or misfortune.

Mina developed her cheeks. That looks really funny. However, he did that not because he wanted to be cute. It was just that he was quite upset that Xi was like hiding something from him.

Xi who saw that was confused. ‘Actually what is he doing?’ very wonder. But there is no intention to ask.

The old servant arrived with the item Xi wanted. It is something or an object that is quite heavy and hard, is round like a ball, and has a fairly rough surface. And it looks like an ordinary rock and nothing special-istimewanya at all.

‘Ha? Isn't that just an ordinary stone that's on the edge of the road?’ Mina wondered. He was astonished why Xi was interested in this ordinary stone? Even the step item that had previously appeared at the auction did not attract his attention.

“This is it, Young master.” The old servant gave something similar to the stone to Xi.

Xi accepted. And hold that thing in both hands.

When Xi held it, it felt strange to him. This stone is at least as big as a ball of foot, but why is it not as heavy as a rock in general. The weight of the object is not even four kilograms. And that was very strange.

System notifications appear and provide information or records about the object. The moment it appeared, Xi was about to read it while pretending to observe. However, before he started reading, Suddenly the sound of the door opening sounded, and his gaze was instantly sidetracked.

Xi also abandoned his intention to read the information the system provided. Even though he really wanted to read that. However, the person he was waiting for had already entered this room. It would be uncomfortable if he continued to pay attention to the objects he held without seeing the owner of the auction house.

The old servant saluted the owner of the auction house. However, for Xi and Mina to have not moved a single bit from her place.

Something Xi did not expect was. The owner of this auction house was a beautiful woman. However, his age is quite old. About 27 years old, and his status is unmarried.

She walked gracefully, her clothes were neat and she also wore a scarf made of animal fur. Hmmm, it was made of silver fox hair, and even the tail was still hanging there. He was not wearing a skirt, but trousers. There is no chance of you seeing the bottom even though he stumbled and fell. Because it's completely closed.

“Sorry to make you wait long esteemed customer.” A sweet voice came out of his mouth. And who heard it felt a million.

After he arrived, sit on the sofa right in front of Xi. Sitting on the sofa as gracefully as a queen.

They started talking about payment. The owner asked “How will you pay?”

Xi bribed in his shirt and picked up something. A small pocket. Hmmm, that's not convincing enough. How can a hundred thousand gold coins be stored in that little thing? That's very suspicious.

Everyone in the room raised their eyebrows and was confused. They don't think this is a joke, do they?

Yeah, that's. Xi gave the bag and put it on the table.

Stare at each other. Doubt it.

“Is everything here?”

Xi nodded slowly “Ya, look at yourself.”

Still doubtful. ‘Is this a trap?’ The owner of the auction house hesitated to take it.

“Wait a minute Miss, let me have a look at it.” A bodyguard who worked for the security of the owner began to raise his voice.

Stupefied. Nodding. “Ya, do.” Permission granted.

“Understanding.”

He took the little bag. Then open the straps. After the strap was opened, he began to open the bag and see the contents inside.

For a moment nothing happened. Nothing comes out of there. Like poison gas or something that can endanger a person's life.

However, Suddenly the bodyguard fell down and trembled.

Everyone was shocked, but Xi was not. Spontaneously they stood up from the chair, and some of the bodyguards pointed their weapons at Xi.

“Damn it! What did you do to our colleague?”

Xi can't go anywhere. Every spear in this room had pointed at him.

Mina who saw this was so frightened that she approached and held Xi's hand.

Someone approached to check on the state of his pale-looking companion. They still did not know what made his comrade up to this point. In fact, nothing had happened before even after he opened it.

“Are you okay?”

With a trembling body, he raised his hand and pointed at the pouch.

Her lips shook violently, as she spoke up. “i that... That bag... That was... Item space..”

Everyone's eyes opened wide after hearing that low voice. No one could hide his shock from their faces.

WHWHAT? SPACE ITEMS?

Everyone's faces were blackened and full of sweat. An item like a space item was more step in comparison to other types of magic items. There are not many people who have it, especially from its rarity, the price of the other one is very expensive.

Only ordinary gold-ranked or higher-ranked adventurers had one. Or a great witch, and a noble family.

WHO EXACTLY IS THIS GUY?

‘Who exactly is he? Want to see from anywhere, he looks ordinary and like an ordinary boy in general. Only, what distinguishes between himself and people his age is his calm attitude. Even after so many weapons pointed at him, he was still acting calm, and even he had been staring at me for so long The whole body is sweating. Seeing such a calm yet cold and sharp gaze frightened him.

In this situation, even though he was being strung but he was not sure he could win in case of a fight.

Seeing from Xi's eyes, that he was ready to kill in case of a fight. And if that happens, even if Xi dies, I'll it die with him.

“All, lower your weapons.”

“Ta but... Missy... Dia...”

“What are you doing? Why not drop your weapons? This master is my guest!”

Stare at each other. With hesitation every guard lowered their spear eyes. This was an order from their superiors directly. There was no reason for them to refute, and point their weapons at their superior guests again.

Bending and bowing his head. “Master, please forgive my subordinates' impoliteness!” close his eyes, hoping Xi can think maturely and not get angry.

A few moments the room became quiet. Everyone was silent. There was not the slightest sound, not even movement.

The owner of the auction house was aware that he had offended his guests.

Xi did not say anything that long, not even responding to it. The highlight of his eyes was still sharp, and the fiery red color was still clearly visible in both of his eyes.

This atmosphere is so awkward. Even Xi was at a loss as to how to start the conversation. But, since it had become like this, then he had to melt the atmosphere.

Taking a deep breath, then Xi opened his mouth and said “That's okay. I understand.” Calmly and gradually the fiery red eyes with killing intent within began to fade. Xi has calmed down. He also did not feel any aura or feeling of hostility between them. “So, how about mine?” Asked Xi to the owner of the auction house.

Hearing that, the owner of the auction house immediately stood up straight. “ya, yes. I'll bring it soon.” Panicked. “You bring him here soon!” He gave orders to the two guards behind him to bring the slaves that Xi had bought during the auction.

“Understanding!” Hurry away.

Both of them left this room.

The atmosphere was calm as before. However, the current owner of the auction house looked at him differently. He looked at Xi with more respect and courtesy.

“At the carelessness of me and my subordinates, I'm sorry.”

“Yes, didn't I say it's okay”

Nod in understanding. He was grateful that Xi could forgive them. “As a sign of our apology, sir, you can pick up any item you want in this room.”

Inside this room there were so many good items, and it was certainly useful for adventurers.

“You can think of it as a gift from us for having given a great investment to us.”

Xi sighed and held his head with his right hand. ‘Somewhat these people think... Ah, whatever's up'

“Because it's a direct request from the homeowner so I won't turn it down. And I'll take this item with me. Doesn't matter?” while showing the stone he was holding.

Everyone in the room was confused.

Of the many items in this room, he chose the stone instead?

Everyone was confused and did not understand what Xi was thinking.

To be exact, Xi's path of thought was already far ahead of them, and it was impossible for them to reach.

With an awkward and doubtful smile, the owner of the auction house asked Xi. “Are you really sure you'll choose that? I don't even know what it's useful for. You can still choose the others.”

“hmm~ what's wrong with this?”

“Master, even though it was obtained from inside the dungeon. But in fact it has no use value. Unless you throw it at the monster's head... Probably still a little useful.”

The hard and rough surface of the stone may be able to injure the monsters it touches.

Heard the dungeon. It sounded foreign in his ears. He did not know what a dungeon was, and what a dungeon looked like.

However, Xi could sense that a dungeon was something or a place that contained many monsters.

If his estimation was indeed correct, then it would be a good place for him to level up and train some of his skills.

It would be easier if the dungeon was near here, too far away to go to the forest just to test a skill. And for farming and leveling up in the forest is also not too how, because of the small number of monsters.

“Dungeon?”

The owner of the auction house nodded confirming his statement. “Iya, in this city there is a dungeon named Cave of Grim. Put it outside the city, around the east side of the city wall. And the dungeon was run over by the city lord, and guarded strictly. Although it is open to the public, but you can not enter by force there.”

“So... Yea? So, how do I get in there?”

Hearing Xi's question, naturally made her happy. Maybe this is an opportunity that will not come twice for him to work with Xi.

Smile “If you want to go there, I can help you to enter it.”

Xi thought. It would definitely help him because with that he did not have to bother taking care of anything troublesome. But, Xi did not know what purpose the owner of this auction house was helping himself.

“Then, what do you want?”

“Ya?”

“Do not pretend to be stupid. No geratis goods in this world, so what do you want?” Xi was sure, the owner of the auction house must have wanted something from him.

The owner of the auction house smiled happily. Of all the people he met, this Xi was something interesting. In just an instant he was able to figure out his hidden intentions.

“You are very smart.”

Xi raised his eyebrows and said “What is a compliment?”

The owner of the auction house nodded slowly”iya, you are an interesting person.”

“Although I don't know who you are, but I'm sure you'll be a great person in the future. So, before that day comes, I want to be the first one to work with you. You can be sure, that this cooperation will be mutually beneficial.”

‘How, so he intends to make me a big help for him in the future huh? That's not too bad, it's still worth considering.’ Mumbled Xi. “Alright, I understand.”

“It feels good to be able to talk to people like you. So, from now on please help sir.”

“Ya, hope everything goes well.”

Shake hands with each other, indicating their cooperation has been established from now on.
