"Number 2, 105 Gold Coins!" Seeing Richard raise his bidding card, the auctioneer shouted out as if he'd seen a savior.
The crowd was slightly stunned, casting curious glances toward the box where Richard had raised his card from. If it weren't for the fact that Richard was in Prince Gelo's box, one would really think that he was a "plant" hired by the auction house. Nevertheless, they still thought Richard was a fool, hence they remained disinterested in the Silver-White Ring.
Consequently, with the auctioneer calling three times, Richard easily obtained the ring.
After paying, he received the ring from the assistant at the auction house and examined it carefully. Just as the auctioneer had mentioned, there were no decorations on the ring, both the outer and inner bands were smooth. The material was indeed neither iron nor silver.
Originally, Richard had speculated it might be something like an Os-Ir Alloy.
