The Night King: The Asura
Ch-02a. Auction Event (1)
Imperial city of Wu.
Despite having a little trouble at the entrance gate of the city, but Lin Feng finally managed to enter the imperial city of Wu and at this moment, he was enjoying a plate of food in one of the restaurants there.
As usual, while eating the food he had ordered, Lin Feng always sharpened his sense of hearing to get information from the conversation of the restaurant visitors.
But, after being there for quite a long time, Lin Feng still hadn't gotten any information he thought was important, either, except for the information regarding the tournament held by one of the top sects in Xuanwu Mainland to select disciples.
"It seems like finding God Huo isn't as easy as I imagined" murmured Lin Feng.
After finishing the food and drinks he ordered, Lin Feng then moved from his seat to pay for the food and drinks, and not to forget, he also asked about the inn to the restaurant's waiter.
"Not far from here is a quite luxurious inn, if you want to stay there, I can show you the direction" the maid replied.
"Wouldn't that interfere with your work?" asked Lin Feng.
The waiter shook his head, "Of course not, sir. After all, there are still other waiters who will serve the diners."
"Alright, thank you for helping me" said Lin Feng, then he left the restaurant with the waiter.
Not too long later, they finally arrived at the inn that the waiter of the restaurant meant, and it was true that, judging from the outside, the inn was indeed quite luxurious as the waiter had said.
"Thank you, this is for you" Lin Feng said as he handed over three platinum coins.
"Sir, this is not necessary, after all the amount is too much" said the restaurant's waiter.
"It's okay, just think of it as a thank you for helping me."
"Thank you Master" said the waiter of the restaurant, then picked up the three platinum coins given by Lin Feng, then after that, he immediately bid farewell to Lin Feng as he had to return to the restaurant immediately.
Inside the inn.
"Welcome sir, do you want to stay?"
Lin Feng furrowed his brows when he heard the question posed by the innkeeper, "Isn't the purpose for people coming to the inn to be staying over?"
The servant smiled kindly at Lin Feng, "You're right, Master. But my point is, maybe you want to join the auction we're going to hold tonight" the waiter replied.
"Auction show, huh?" muttered Lin Feng while thinking about the auction event the waiter was referring to, and since he was in no other activity, he finally decided to attend the auction event, and just maybe, just maybe, he would find a good item that could catch his attention at that auction event later.
"It seems interesting, then I'll come and stay for a week at once" said Lin Feng.
"Okay sir, then do you want to book a special room at the auction later?"
"Provide me with one special room" replied Lin Feng.
"Okay sir, so the total cost is 50 gold coins."
Lin Feng nodded slowly, then he took out fifty gold coins from his storage ring and directly handed them to the servant. After which, the inn's floater then escorted Lin Feng towards his room which was on the third floor of the inn.
***
Her night.
The inn has five floors, the first floor is used as a place to welcome guests of the inn, as well as a gathering place for guests of the inn, while the second and third floors are used as rooms for guests of the inn, then the fourth and fifth floors are used as a special room to hold an auction.
The innkeeper deliberately made the fourth and fifth floors as one room, so that when the auction event took place, they could distinguish which were ordinary auction participants and which were special auction participants.
Those who are ordinary participants will attend the auction event on the fourth floor, while those who are special guests will attend the auction event on the fifth floor, because there have been provided some private rooms that are specifically for honored guests.
Half an hour later, all the seats of the auction participants were finally fully filled, either ordinary chairs or chairs in a special room. Then, a middle-aged man who was none other than the inn owner, appeared from backstage and immediately started the auction event.
"Welcome to my guests and welcome to this auction, but before the event starts, I will introduce a special guest who will attend the auction tonight" said the inn owner, then set his eyes on the number one special room.
"Welcome to the second prince, it's an honor for me because you've been willing to take the time to attend the auction event held at my place" he continued, then bowed towards the number one special room.
The innkeeper's words suddenly made the entire auctioneer excited, the reason was, they really did not expect that the special guest in question was the second prince of this Wu empire. But, this existence also made some parties feel less happy, because there was no way they would be willing to compete with him.
"Thank you, Mr. Li. You don't have to be that shy" said the second prince, but he didn't show himself to the auctioneers.
"Can the show start now? I came to attend the auction, instead of hearing you guys chat!"
The words of the auctioneer who was in the special room number three suddenly made everyone shocked, because from his words just now, it could be interpreted that he did not give the slightest face to the second prince, either, but the question is, who is so brave not to give face to an author?
"Master! Can't you be patient, everyone also wants to join the auction event, but they can still wait patiently"
"Master Li, that Master's words are indeed true. After all, the sooner the event starts the better, don't you think, Mister?"
At first glance, the words of the second prince did sound ordinary, even sounding like a very understanding of the words of the guest in the special room number three just now, but in fact, it was, he was very upset that there were people who were so brave not to give him face.
"That's right!" the guest in the special room number three was none other than Lin Feng.
"Alright, because the beginning has said that, then this auction event will start now" said Mr. Li.
After Mr. Li finished his sentence, a beautiful girl went up on stage to officiate the auction, her perfect body shape and charming look, managed to attract the attention of the male participants who attended the auction event.
"Good night everyone, I'm Mr. Li's assistant who will be presiding over the auction this time, and there's no need to linger any longer, let's just start auctioning the first item" said the beautiful girl.
Then, from backstage appeared several two men carrying a fairly large box, at the same time, Master Li's assistant directly explained the first item they were going to auction. In addition, he also explained what advantages the goods have.
The first item to be auctioned was a sword that was not very large, and according to the explanation of Master Li's assistant, it was extremely strong and capable of cutting through extremely hard iron with just a single slash, he also explained that the sword had the basic power of the fire element, so it would be very suitable when used by cultivators who mastered the fire element.
"The initial price was two hundred gold coins" said Mr Li's assistant after he finished explaining the sword.
"Two hundred and ten!"
"Two hundred and thirty!"
"Two hundred and fifty!"
"Three hundred!"
The auctioneers started vying to bid a price for the sword, but for now, only the participants who were in the ordinary seats made a bid, as for those guests who were in the special room, they still remained silent and none of them had made an offer for the sword.
