Yu Zhen made it back to the Town, and after turning in his quest for a total of 5 completions, he went straight to the auction house and put up the equipment he got for sale. He bought a mask and a cloak, then he put a message in the forums.
[Fallen Arrow]:{I will be auctioning 2 skill books and 2 pieces of equipment in the marketing district, two streets away from the auction house in 30 minutes. Do not come with the idea to recruit me because I will not accept even if you offer me a country and your wife. However, I am willing to take on commissions to do various things, ranging from boss raids to assassination.}
While Yu Zhen was preparing to go and set up his stall, various 1st rate guilds and and even some of the 2nd rate guild had begun to move, and many players were discussing Fallen Arrow and his post.
"Does this mean that we'll finally get to see what Fallen Arrow looks like?" Asked a guy who had just read Yu Zhen's post. He was an archer.
"Most likely not. He will probably be wearing a mask and a cloak since you can get them really easily by killing low level mobs." Replied another person who seemed to be his teammate. He was a swordsman
"What class do you think he will be?"
"Why are you asking that question? If he isn't an archer then what would he be?" A elementalist girl in their party replied.
"Why not a summoner? He has phoenix after all."
"I guess you're right but a friend of mine said there are summon's contract and familiar contracts." The girl said while shrugging her shoulders.
"What equipment do you think he'll be selling?" The guy who looked like the tank asked.
"Probably the ones from the field boss." Their ditsy looking priest answered.
"Not that! I meant what Grade and weapon or armour type." The tank replied.
"Oh! but why are you worrying? You probably won't be able to buy it anyway!" The swordsman said with a grin on his face
"Hey, is it wrong to at least dream?" The tank said with a bitter smile.
Similar conversations were happening all over the Rising Flame Kingdom. Most of the 1st rate Guilds' leaders were based in the towns in Rising Flame City's area.
'In the Adventurers' Hub, Frozen Sparrow Guild Room'
"Guild Leader Lazy Moon, would you like me to go and participate in the auction?"An enchanting and cold voice asked.
The man whom the voice spoke to held a wooden staff with runic carvings on the head of the staff. He had short black hair that was neatly done and an extremely handsome face with thin brows and black eyes.
"No need, I will go myself Vice Leader White Mist. I am quite interested to see what this Fallen Arrow is like."
"Understood. What would you like me to do in the meantime?"
"You are your own person, you don't need my orders for everything." He said with a sly smile."If you really do want my orders, then why not become mine?"
"Please don't joke like that Guild Leader. I will excuse myself." The enchanting and cold voice said, containing hints of hatred and anger as the door sound of the door closing filled the room.
As White Mist left, Lazy Moon's expression changed to a frown as he thought.'You are just a b*tch who thinks too highly of herself. Who would want a mutant like you if not for me. Sooner or later i'll have you warming my bed. We'll see how cold you act then.' A smile creepy smile slowly arose on his face as his eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness.
'In the Adventurers' Hub, World Serpent Guild room'
"Prepare some money for me to spend. He's definitely going to be selling some good items. He probably post it in the forums to get the 1st rate guilds' attention." The man named Empty Throne said in a clear and firm voice.He had shoulder length brown hair and thick eyebrows with thin eyes and black irises. He had a defined jawline with small ears and a big mouth.
"Yes Guild Leader. Would there be anything else?" A young man who looked to be in High School asked.
"No, Just Go." Empty throne said, a bit annoyed.
'In the Adventurers' Hub, Smiling Sword Guild.'
"Vice leader Lovely Rabbit, please prepare some money and get ready to go out. We need to make friends with this player. My gut is telling me that it's the right thing to do." A mature woman's voice said.
It was a woman with long and curly black hair. She had narrow eyes, small, pink lips, snow white skin and well done eyebrows. She was like a work of art that was meant to attract people. Her aura was the big sister type making her very attractive, but the huge sword on her back would probably scare people as much as she attracted them.
"Yes Guild Leader Heartless Angel."
...
Back where Yu Zhen was, he was wearing a mask and a cloak that was covering his body, head and face. He had finish setting up and was ready to do business.
"Yanyan." he called through his familiar communication skill.
"Yes, stupid master?"Yanyan replied lazily with her previous voice.
"Could you come out? I need you to come out and lay beside me."
"Why?"
"Because I need you to be here so people can recognise me."
"Ughhh, Okay." Yanyan replied annoyed, as she came out of Yu Zhen's soul space.
The moment she come out and lay beside him, it attracted a lot of attention.
"Look over there, is that Fallen Arrow?"
"I think so look at the black bird beside him looks just like a phoenix. It even has the tail feathers."
People started gathering around Yu Zhen who was sitting at his stall. When the appointed time came, he took out the equipment and skill books and placed it on his stall. After seeing the equipment everyone gasped.
"TOP TIER SKILLS AND MASTER GRADE EQUIPMENT!" multiple people exclaimed at the same time.
The group of people around Yu Zhen parted and multiple people walked down the middle. There were 8 people, each of them represented one of the the nine 1st rate guilds of the Rising Flame Kingdom.
"Good day Mr. Fallen Arrow." Heartless Angel said politely.
"Good day Miss Heartless Angel, and good day to all of the other major guilds' representatives here."Yu Zhen said in a polite tone.
"Without any further pleasantries, I would like to begin the auction as I am sure that you all are as busy as I am. The first Item is the [Blurring Sword Skill Book]. The item will start at 5000 credits and the minimum bid increase will be 500 credits. Let's Begin the bidding."
After showing the skill effect, the bidding started.
"6000"
"7500"
"10000"
After the bid of 10000, everyone shut up. The skill was good but it was barely top tier.
"10000 once, 10000 twice, SOLD to Broken Orchid guild representative. Congratulations. The next Item will be the [Earth Breaking Sword Skill Book]. This is a true top tier skill so the starting price 10000 credits while the minimum bid increase will be 800 credits."
Once again, after showing the skill effect, everyone started to bid.
"12000"
"14000"
"16000"
"23000"
Another sky rocketing bid came and stopped everyone's bidding. After some hesitation someone bid again.
"24000"
"26000"
A reply came instantly. No one bid after that and the skill was sold to Empty Throne.
"Congratulations to Smiling Sword Guild for winning this skill. The next item will be a leather armour chest piece, [Goblin King's Pride Level 8(Grade Master)]. This item will start at 12000 with a minimum bid price of 800."
After showing the options, the guilds went crazy.
"15000"
"18500"
"20000"
"35000"
Everyone stopped for a second but continued at a slower pace as this was a level 8 master grade chest piece.
"36000"
"37000"
"40000"
"40000 once, 40000, twice, SOLD to World Serpent Guild. Congratulations. The last Item will be a heavy sword, the [Goblin King's Slaughter Level 8(Grade Master)]. This Item will start at a price of 15000 and the minimum bid increase will be 1000 credits.
After showing the Item's options, the bidding started but a shocking number came out as the first bid.
"45000"
"..."
"..."
"Smiling Sword Guild bids 45000. 45000 once, 45000, twice-
"50000" Empty Throne said before the bid was sealed.
"60000" Heartless Angel replied instantly."Empty Throne just give up. You know that you won't win right?"
"Tch" Empty throne sneered as he conceded.
"60000 once, 60000 twice, SOLD to Smiling Sword Guild, Congratulations. This Marks the end of the auction. As I have stated before, I also take commissions to do various things. If anyone needs help with something, just send me a message and the right price. If that is all then I will be excusing myself." Yu Zhen said after he confirmed the transactions and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Exclaimed Heartless Angel as she walked toward Yu Zhen.
"Sure, send me a request and i'll accept it. You seem to have nice intentions at least so we can become friends." Yu Zhen said after he glanced at her and turned around.
"H-How did you...Know?" She mumbled in shock.
The reason for Yu Zhen's golden irises and amazing archery talent was actually a mutation in his eyes and brain which doubled his sight, increased his sensitivity to detail, his perception of the things withing his view, his thinking, response and deduction ability to things he is seeing. It also makes it easier for him to understand things he sees and gives him photographic memory. This is the reason people think his irises are simply rare. He had taken note of the behaviour and reaction of the people around him and knew that if he told too many people, he would become an outcast. Someone he trusted actually spread this when he was younger, making his life hell in middle school. He was forced to learn to fight to protect himself. From then on, he made sure to hone his ability to deduce someone's behaviour as best he could, but even then he was still only human and could only go off what he was shown. That was before his reincarnation however. After observing animals in the wild and going through many near death moments, he could tell a person's true nature after observing them enough.
Yu Zhen just smiled at her and said "Observation."
