The Moon In Darkness
Ch.25 Auction (2)
"so.. how much do you want?" The man with the beard looked at me with eyes that had been shaped like money, the bottom of a double eye!
"well..what is the price of one coin?" because his gaze was inevitably I had to buy it even if only one, right? maybe this is his last day.
"one coin is only 100 Dang!"
Duars! it sounded in my head the rope that maintained my sanity was cut off completely.
"hoi.." I went forward and grabbed his collar firmly.
"you're going to rob me, old man?" I looked at the man annoyed, over time my grip grew stronger.
I don't know, I don't know why I'm upset right now, even though the price is out of normal range, my gut feeling is that something fun is happening somewhere, and I could have missed it.
"hii! l-lord! relax sir!" the beard man's body trembled, his sweat started pouring out.
"what? you obviously want to trick me just because I'm new. Looks like you underestimated me for not being a noble huh?"
"no-no!! never the master!! ta.but.the price of 'coin' is indeed very expensive here! 100 Dang is the cheapest price I have ever given!!" the man shakes his head quickly.
"ho.. cheapest huh?"
"yeah!!"
"then give me a cheaper price."
"yes?" he looked at me like a fool, maybe that beard guy didn't understand what I was saying.
"one 'coin' one Dang."
"yes?!??" the man's eyes were perfectly rounded when he heard my words, was something wrong? I just subtracted two meaningless zeros.
"can't do that sir!!" the man shouted, as his screams of attention of everyone were now on us, whispers by whispers began to be heard and it made my head become very sick.
I brushed off my arm and the man's body fell to the ground, "hey.. do you want to die?" I whispered slowly under his little stall.
The beard man swallowed the coarse salivary, I could even hear it clearly. Damn it, I need to find a way to reduce this excessive hearing.
"a. ah. ma-sorry. I do not mean sir. si-please take as you please! please forgive me!!" pinta The man trembled, he did not even dare to look at me and just stared at the ground, but if remembered earlier he looked at me very boldly.
The one who will do anything to survive.ha! how pathetic.
"ha. you spent a lot of my time," I stood up, opened my money bag and took out 50 Dang.
The bearded man rushes up and gives me a bag full of 'coins', "please please sir. consider it my apology gift"
"hm. are you sure? though you insisted on one 100 Dang coin."
"no-no! ahaha! I was just kidding!"
"yes, thank you, old man!" when I received it, the man let out a long sigh, maybe he was grateful that I was leaving? besides, I can't spend any time just because of this coin.
Just a few steps away, I turned back, "do you know where [Gaoguen de ren ]?"
The man was somewhat surprised when he heard the sentence I said, and at the same time he was able to answer my question calmly.
"there." he pointed directly across the street from where we were, a small shop that could barely be seen as it was squeezed by two shops beside him.
"uh.thank you!" I took a step and walked across.
When he arrived, An was greeted with a very chaotic room, dusty floors, broken windows, even the roof and floor were almost destroyed. Only a few people sat there and talked.
"give me the cheapest alcohol." An offered some money and a ticket with the name of the store on it.
The waiter just glanced and gave the alcohol that An asked for, he sipped the drink in just two gulps. The waiter smiled slightly and whispered, "follow me."
An nodded and the waiter first went towards the bathroom, when he stood up and followed the waiter for a few minutes.
When he arrived, the servant was waiting for him beside a ladder, "just follow this ladder and you will arrive." the servant then went back to his place.
An was a little surprised but he kept walking and entered the stairs. Upon entering, the door he passed closed and turned into a wall again.
"magic yes.." muttered feeling interested, An had been impatient to see what would welcome him later.
One by one the stairs he began to go down, it had been about 10 minutes and An still could not see the end of this hallway.
"fuck, why so far away?" An then has a crazy idea to jump straight down, this ladder is only straight forward can even be said to be quite steep.
Without thinking for a long time, An immediately jumped and continued to jump, it could save some stairs. When he wanted to make the third leap, he had unwittingly reached a magnificent room with a golden board that read [Gaoguin de ren ].
"it seems like I've seen the same place" An murmured without showing his surprise.
"you are the first person to come by jumping like that." said an old man while giving a number to An.
"well, I love being first.." I smiled and took his number.
"hoho.you are also the first person who is not amazed by this place.usually everyone will widen their eyes with what they see." continued the grandfather.
"hahaha, I'm so flattered to have been the first for the second time tonight.."
The grandfather then smiled faintly, he bowed politely and invited An to sit wherever he wanted, "please choose the seat that most comfortable young master.."
"alright."
I'm glad I can weigh my voice, but why 'young master'?' an Inner confused.
So far everyone who met with An would call him using the term 'master' and only the grandfather who called him 'young master', did the grandfather know if he was still a teenager?
An had a look around and some people covered their faces either using a mask or veil, but some were proud to show off if they were 'beautiful people'. He took out his fox mask and removed his black veil.
As An sat down, the auction began with an enthusiastic reception from the guests.
