Chereads / Oberon / Chapter 6 - The mysterious cube

Chapter 6 - The mysterious cube

After Olivia, Alexander also bought Silas, a level 1-beginner earth mage.

Silas was one of the elite soldiers of the Abba kingdom, one of the neighboring kingdoms of Artemis , after losing the war, he was captured and sold, his family has not been found yet .

Silas was the most cooperative of all the slaves, he directly accepted his status, asked no questions about Alexander and the Others

He also bought Henry level 1 fire mage - beginner and Remy level 1 water mage - beginner.

Once the teams were:

Team 1 soren earth, Levi fire, James fire Olivia fire

Team 2 Lucas land Gwendoline water Henry fire

Team 3 silas earth Remy fire Anna light

team 4 Theodore earth Atticus fire

Alexander will go with a team, attack the rat queen and after an hour will come out, he will then join the second team and do the same until the fourth team, the treasures were put  in his space ring

  the rats by their rapid proliferation were a big problem for the inhabitants of emerald, they were located mainly on the outskirts of the city and therefore do not threaten the rich and powerful, although a group of level 1 mages or a level 2 mage could easily take care of the threat that was the rat Queen, nobody did it, Alexander therefore by his actions saved the life of several inhabitants

After taking care of 8 rat queens, he left the dungeon and returned home, he obviously bought several animal skins and some herbs  to fake the fact that he spent his time in a dungeon

he told his family  that he was safe and that everything was going well that he had hunted a lots of different animals and that he was going to leave and come back after another month because the hunt was really fun and fruitful.

Seeing him full of energy and without a scratch  his family couldn't stop him but he had to come back after a month because  his big sister will come back from her magic school

He agreed and after breakfast left with Soren for Emerald City, he therefore continued his hunt of rat queens and after more than 20 days he had killed more than 80 rat queens, (there were only 100 rat queens) After selling all there was to sell and taking all there was to take he left the rat dungeon.

While walking on the streets , he Did spot a flyer for an auction in the Emerald City, it took place each year at the end of the summer, knowing that many foreigners came to the city especially for this occasion, the auction of the end of the summer was a popular one and was held by the Raimond family.

it was a level 4 family specializing in auctions, business and selling information

After reading the ad and hearing people talk about it Alexander decided to go to the auction but while taking some precautions, first he would wear a  mask, second  rent a special room and third  soren would address him as a young master, the auction would take place in one day, so he had to quickly find a private room for himself.

Fortunately, he found one at the last minute, the auction house had auctioned three private rooms, the price of each was 50,000 gold coins, the rest was divided between the different clans, Alexander was able to rent one narrowly, a reduction in the commission that the auction house take  on the various objects put up for sale comes with the room (15 %)

the Raimond house took 30% of the price of each object put up for auction, Seeing a profitable situation, Alexander decided to auction 20 different plants he had discovered in the lair of the different rat queen, some increased  the concentration of the mind, others the concentration of the elements in the body , others helped in the increase of the level , he had found many types of plants and it was Time to auction them.

It was already dark when he bought the private room, so he went to the inn to meditate, level 2 and even level 1 mages could  live without sleeping for 6/7 days without any problem

so alexander spent the next  day meditating to and only went to the auction  in the afternoon, Olivia and the others were shocked by the attendance of this young child who exceeded that of adults.

Once outside, he took advantage of the afternoon to buy different elixir and other plants, he bought energy elixir (a mixture of different plants and element stones, the energy elexir make it possible to increase the concentration  of the elements in the body) Elixir of wisdom (reduce the impurities in the body ) he didn't need all those elixir because he just didn't have any impurity in his body thanks of the system, it was for his team.

Once his shopping was over, he attended the auction, The room had simple decorations,a painting of a forest, a sofa facing a balcony which faced the scene, some tea and various fruits were placed on a small table which was located in front of the sofa.

the auction had just started and the crowd was electric, everyone wondering what items would be on sale this time, the head the Raimond house, Archibald Raimond was the host of the auction.

(crowd noise) ( Silence) Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce myself Archibald Raimond and I will be your host for this auction, as the first lot I present to you a space ring of 100 cubic meter

''Wow'' the crowd was in awe , 100 cubic meter, the equivalent of a warehouse, until then only the chiefs of the different clans had a ring with such a space, Alexander was also surprised, he needed this Ring

Archibald : the Bidding starts at 100,000 gold with a minimum bid of 10,000

2,000,000 shouted soren

2,200,000 yelled a young man from the Hill family (the Hill family was a level 3 family) a ring of 100m3 was worth between 2,900,000 and 3,000,000 and even at this price it was difficult to find people who would sell it

3,200,000 shouted another young man (crowd noise)

Alexander wanted to bid but couldn't because drawing too much attention might get him in to trouble

3,200,000 once, 3,200,000 twice 3,200,000 three times award to VIP number 2

The crowd was delirious 3,200,000 gold coins, what a figure, 3 to 4 gold coins could feed a whole family for 1 month so what meant 3 millions of gold coins, what an astronomical sum of Money

Now ladies and gentlemen, I will present to you a complete level 1 armor, bidding will start at 5,000 gold.

I present to you the level 2 elixir of wisdom, bidding will start at 10,000 gold

I present to you the level 1 fluidity elixir, it helps a mage go from  level 1 to level 2 500,000 gold coins etc...

With all his items sold at high prices, Alexander had amassed a fortune , over 8 million gold coins

Then came the turn of the slaves, among the slaves offered was a level 2 slave of the light type put for auction, Alexander once again wanted to buy such a slave but he did not want to draw attention on him He therefore passed on the slaves, then came the last objects (during an auction, the last objects are the most important and therefore the most expensive)

He unfortunately also mentally  passed on the last  objects, he got up to leave when suddenly he heard the voice of his father, John

All eyes were focused on one particular object, a mysterious cube that could increase the concentration of the elements around it by 200% if some elixir was to be watered on it  , it would Rise to 400%, such a concentration would be equal to consuming an elixir of energy all the time

Human beings cannot take elixirs continuously because of their corrosive nature but with this mysterious cube the effects were the same.

30,000,000 said jhon

40,000,000 said another young man from the Hill family

50,000,000 says a young man from the Raimond family

Prices only increased until

John: 160,000,000

Raimond family youth: 200,000,000

John: 250,000,000

Raimond family: 350,000,000

John: 400,000,000 Everyone was shocked, that was 400,000,000 gold coins, a level 2 clan could gather 100,000,000 gold coins if they sold all their assets, a level 3 clan 250,000,000 gold coins so Jhon was betting the future of his clan on this mysterious cube

Archibald: 400,000,000 once, 400,000,000 twice, 400,000,000 three times, awarded to Mr. John Davis

(crowd noise) Jhon had therefore won the bidding, he sent a message to the mansion asking Jasper Davis, Alexander's great great great grandfather to come and take the cube because he was too afraid  to be attacked on the way back.

Alexander was happy for the Davis family, with this cube the family would finally be able to exceed level 3.

Going back to the inn, he was full of energy, what a wonderful world, so many extraordinary objects unfortunately I couldn't take any if them because of my level but it's only been 5 years since I came in this world while the Davis or Raimond family have a legacy of many years, my turn will come thought alexander
