Chapter 42 - Chapter 42 : Auction 5

Meirino , a black robed mage, the old chef of a famous restaurant in colos city known as ' meat&spice', a clothes maker who is expert making hand bags for womens , an alchemist of this city , a mage who works for colos city monitoring , a moon mother goddess clergy clothes wearing old men and a young men wearing clothes of a nomad horse-men , these 8 are the one who can afford to get this magic beasts corpse at 25 gold coins .

After the events of Melena , every who previously bought a ticket of today gone back to the auction house to see who will buy the kobold magic beasts corpse.

Most of the 8 are also very hesitant to buy this rank 1 magic monster for more than 25 thousands of gold coins .

Normally a magic beasts dead body is sold for 10 - 20 thousands of gold coins. But because this beasts body has no visible bad blemishes and wounds , it turned out to be a most sought after corpse.

Most of the hunters risk their lives to catch this kind of dangerous magic user beasts. In the process of hunting , they leave behind a lot of wounds and causes amputations to the beasts, so there were lot of ugly bandage and stitches in them .

"26 thousands." said the famous ladies bag maker in this colos city, borgonous .

He is a well known Lady's handbag maker . Most of his customers are the noble and rich women's of this city and in it's sorrounding's .

Women's loves things made from animal hides especially hands bags made from the leathers of a magic beasts.

Borgonous usually buys magic monsters leathers from the big cities which are costly and time consuming. But he still buys from outside because those hides or leathers are guaranteed to be in good shape .

Today he founded a rare kobolds in his city which has almost no piercing or amputated parts in it's body . So he will not give up so easily. Also all rich and noble women present are also in love and jealousy of this kobold womens beauty . So he will definitely receive a lot of orders from them . How can he miss this opportunity?

"Huh , 27,000 gold coins. " Meirino said after a huge sigh in pain .

She only has 27,230 gold coins with her now.This is the highest she can go in this bet . This kobold not only is a speed type but it can also use a transformation spell which make her turn into a full body dog . This thing would be very useful to her 2 friends , but it seems that it is hopeless now.

'How unlucky, if i had my main storage bag with me , this kobold would be mine by ! '

" 30 " The nomad boy raised 3 fingers and said difficultly.

The nomad horse-men is Chegedai .He grew up in a small nomadic tribe north of this kingdom. They mainly raises cattle and hoarses .They dependents of grazing of harviborus animal's in large grasslands . The nomads are not liked by the ordinary people's of this kingdom. In winter they would rob villages in group like hungry wolfs .In this kingdom they are a minority group which has almost no participations in kingdoms ruling.

Chagadai came here to sell some goats and horses that they usually grows to make a living . When he had finished selling his goods,he was walking around this cities .

Nomads can only raise harviborus animal's for living .They have little to no talent other than animal foraging. So they are considered brutes and barbarians to the common people.

Chagadai has a deep admiration for civilized people's life style since he first came for seeling some animals in a town with his father .

His clans people's don't like civilized people , they mocks them as weak earth diggers who grow crops . But he didn't think so. He would often visit to colos city to sell animals despite being warned not to mix with civilized people by many of his clansman.

They don't like to sell their animals to the civilized people because of hatred against each other. But Chagadai however is completely the polar opposite.

He loves their life style and wishes to live among them . His tribesman don't have any concept of currency at all . They don't use coins like like civilized people . They use 1 horse = 10 cattle like things which is not good at all . They will starve and forced to attack human village in winter to survive if thier grazing animals die unexpectedly.

If not for his mother , father and his younger siblings, he would have long left this nomad life .

He can understand Hartage kingdoms language but has trouble while speaking. He is learning since last year and he is confident to speak fluently by the end of the next year .

He is interested in this beasts because he wanted to use it to offer to the shaman of his clan . Their clan worship a big dog god name 'Doogickey'. So he is confident to earn the trust of his clans shaman and receive the blessings of their god .

Hearing the nomad boys bid Merino's face darkened and she became sad .

Other participants are also feeling troubled now . Normally a dead magic user rank 1 beasts corpse are sold for 10-20 thousands coins . If a rare one appears ,it will be 20-40 thousands coins. But if a very special one appears, the price will go to 50 thousands or more . Like rank 1 Titanoboa with good shape will reach 100,000 gold coins .

" this is as far as this old man can go ,31 thousands." ,Said the old chef of the famous food restaurant in this city in a heavy voice .

He has a huge demand for magic monsters meat as a lot of traveling people's loves to eat to recharge and replenish their strength after a long journey on the roads . Having meat of different magic beasts is also important as many traveling people has their own favorite magic beasts which they love to eat .

Dog type beasts demand in also not bad ,so he wanted this beasts meat to add a new menu is his restaurant.

" 32 thousands ." said the unknown mage in black robe in a mechanical voice .He is definitely using a prop to alter his original voice .

" thir..tu fi...vee thou.sands ." said the nomad boy Chagadai with difficulty.

" Sir ,Thirty five thousand ?" asked the bald guy who is monitoring the process of this auction .He is helping the nomad boy who is facing troubles saying the exact words .

The nomad boy nodded quickly.

Damn it , the unknown black robed men become angry and left the stadium.

" 40 ."

the mage who's job is to monitor this city said in a carefree voice .

He is Fasimeiu , a rank 1 transformation path magi .He is looking for some transformation path magic inheritances and material. The colos city offered to provide the inheritance of regarding paths they have .He has been in this city for 4 years now . He has to work another 6 years to receive the promised inheritance.

In this small city ,it is very hard to come in contact with magic monsters let alone magic monster of his path .He feels that he will soon breakthrough to rank 2 if he can have some more knowledge and material in his path .

Today is a golden opportunity he is waiting for . He just monitors the city for 12 hours a day and research for the next several hours . He receives 50,000 thousands gold coins every month which never used much .

Today he will not give up no matter what ! This beast can use a skill to transform into a full dog .If the information is right ,then he will hit a jackpot .

For him skills this is very important .He has just 2 transformation type skills ,which he brought from the magi school at a high price . one is to enlarge his hands and make them as strong as rocks . The last one is to transform his hairs into sharp long spikes .

If he can learn to transform into a dog ,it will be very helpful for him .So he will not care even if he ends up spending 100,000 gold coins if necessary. Well these coins are just extra weight for him with no real value for him .

"Looks like this young guy Fasimeiu will go any length for this beast .Well he sure is lucky to encounter his paths skilled beasts corpse unlike me ,who has no chance of finding anything of value in this dilapidated area . Sigh ."

Rank 3 mage ,salvo sighed after thinking about rank 3 magic monster corpse .In this region there are very few rank 3 beasts which are very shrewd and cunning . It is very hard to kill high ranking magic beasts as they starts to gain human like intelligence.
