Third POV
Vergil and May made there way towards the Auction house, normally they would need an invitation in order to enter this Auction, which is quite expensive, but since Vergil's family is the ruler of this territory they will be enter just by showing there identity.
There was a quite a lot of people waiting to enter the Auction, It was a large five story building, I could feel a powerful barrier protecting the Building, there were also many defensive formation attached to the building.Â
Vergil May went to the Entrance bypassing the long que of mages and swordsman. There were high level knights standing guard at the VIP entrance, May showed them the Emblem, each family has a unique emblem that is made from special fabric that can not replicated and can only be produced by a special method it is also infused with a special inscription, that is unique to each family. The guards were able to see the authenticity of the token
"Welcome young noble" The knights bowedÂ
Vergil nodded to them and made is way inside the establishment, his entry made the crowd gathered outside uproar in discussion
"Who was that" a random person said
"Probably son of some bigshot" another one said
"by any chance is he son of the nobility here"Â
"The only nobility that could receive this level of attention from guards is...."
"Shh ... don't speak you can get in trouble" the person reminded
"Well whatever..." annoyed he said
As the crowd were discussing in the corner of the alley, two people in black robes were observing the sceneÂ
"Hey, it seems that person is loaded" one of the person in robe saidÂ
"But he could be nobility" The other person was cautious
"Unlikely, I have seen noble kids they are full of pride and arrogance. He seems to be son of some rich businessman, A big fat sheep" the man in black robe grinned
"Lets inform the boss" other one said
Vergil POV
Well the guild does not only have auction house, but it also sells a variety of other stuff as well. There is also a gambling house here, but it is different from the one I saw previously
On the second floor there were myriad of different shapes and sized rocks, and placed on different isles and many people where carefully observing the rocks
"May what is this?" I asked May
"Well young master if I am not wrong this is Stone gambling, basically each stone has a rare chance of having a metal block or gemstones inside the stones- a game of chance." May explained
"Very well said Miss, but this is not all" A Man's voice sounded from the side
I looked at the person who said this, he was a middle aged man, he wore a simple dress, yet the aura he gave was of an high level warrior. He came to me and bowed
"Greetings, young noble, My name Simon, I am the head of the Winchester territory  Sorcerer Society guild house" He introduced himself
"Greeting Mr. Simon " I nodded back
"Young Noble, this stone gambling is not only for metal and gemstones, but if your luck is good you can also find Mana crystal" He explained to me as he smiled
"Mana crystal, that extravagant" I said, clearly mana crystal are very expensive even the lowest of grade mana crystal would easily fetch for hundreds of gold coinsÂ
By the way Each mana crystal/stones can be ranked according to there purity
Low grade< Intermediate Grade< Advanced Grade< Top grade
mana coins are made by processing advanced grade mana crystals, whereas top grade stones are the most rarest of them all
"Yes, although most of them are low grade, but who knows you may also find Intermediate ones" He explained like a true businessman
"Ohh ... so how much does it costs" I asked curiously honestly I'm a bit tempted to try
"Young master each row costs differently ranging from 10 G to all the way up to 1000 G, Each isle has different number of mana crystal hidden the more you pay the more chances for you to win" He said as he had a sly smile on his face
"young master we should go to auction, we will only waste money here" May said as she frowned, clearly she does not like this shady game
"young noble there still an hour left before the auction start, if you would like I will take you to the VIP room" Simon said clearly saying there is still time before the auction
"Alright May lets try for fun" I said as I smiled at her, as I made my way towards the isle
"Young master... fine" May just sighed as she follow me
I made my way towards the Isle, there are special inscriptions around the isle preferably intended to hide from perception's of the warriors and mages, but When I spread my senses I was able to feel that some stones were giving off a different aura some were dense some were faint most of them had none, I was surprised
'Is my sense different from others' I thought, Honestly I somewhat expected this my senses had a much wider range than others, I was able to sense the guards at the Marquess estate as well, plus even now I could easily tell strength of other as well
I decided to test it I choose the stone giving of the densest aura in the first isle
"This one I would like to cut this one" I pointed
"Yes young master" May obliged as she picked up the stone, she also observed the stone but she was puzzled as she could not sense anything from the stone
"Please wait young noble I will call the special jewelers in order to cut the stone" Simon said as he hurriedly went
'does Simon think I am an easy target' I amusedly thought
Few minutes latter an old gentleman came he also brought a special device to cut the stones
"If you would, young master" The jeweler asked for stone
May passed him the stone, he observed the stone and then shook his head, may be he found the stone uselessÂ
He placed the stone on the device as the stone was surrounded in a circle and then it split in the middle, a white light was seen in the stone startling the Jeweler and Simon
"W-W-W-What " The jeweler shocked
"What is it Master" He asked the jeweler
"I-I-I-It's a Low grade Mana crystal..... infinitely close to intermediate stone" He struggled to finish the sentence
"How is this possible" Simon exclaimed after listening than he began to observe himself
Many people who were browsing the stones came towards as they were also surprised seeing someone succeed on there first try
I was also shocked 'It worked' I thought, clearly my senses were different from others
"Wow young master your luck is awesome" May exclaimed happilyÂ
Simon quickly collected himself as he also congratulated
"Congratulation young noble, you are truly blesses getting the best piece on your first try is simply unheard off" He flattered me, but I could notice bitterness in his voice
"How much would this Stone cost" I said as I played with the stone, honestly not interested, father has already given me some intermediate stones for my practiceÂ
"Young master this stone is best among the low grade stones, It would cost around 800 G, 900 if you find the right buyer" he said as he gave a guess
"Well I will sell you for 800G " I said clearly not intending to go any further
"Of of course young master, Would you like to continue? " He asked a bit eager for me to continueÂ
"Sure" I said as I made my way towards the last Isle
I also sensed for stones at the isle, there were clearly more denser aura on stones than the previous ones and there were also more, I choose twenty stones with normal ones mixed in them
May brought those stones to the Jeweler
The first one was a blank, Simon sighed in relief as he watched the stone, many people were disappointed as they were expecting this one to also mana crystal in it
"Its Okay young noble maybe next one would have one" Simon consoled me
"Its fine, continue" I said clearly unfazed
The next one was also a blank one
"It would seem it was beginner luck"
"Clearly it was one off thing"
The people began to chatter among themselves
May was clearly annoyed but I motioned her to stop as she might just kill them
But then the next one it was Even clearer crystal than the previous one
"A-An I-I-Intermediate grade stone... Oh my god"
"Are my eyes playing tricks on me" A person rubbed his eyes
The jeweler was also gobsmacked and Simon was clearly speechless, they both have never seen such situation
They cut all the stones except the last one among them there were five intermediate stones and nine low grade stones, Each Intermediate stone can easily soled for 5000G or 100 Platinum coins
Many people sought to buy these but clearly Simon was not foolish to give them the chance
"Young noble a total of 715 platinum coins , I have already deducted the cost" Simon said as he gave me my card, as his face had a bitter smile
'A good haul' I thought it would seem I can try to buy something in the auction
"Young Master would you like to cut the last one" Simon inquired
"No I would like to keep this as a souvenir " I said, the Aura on this stone was clearly stronger than all the previous one combined, if my guess was correct it would be an Advanced grade stone, It would be unwise to cut it here
"As you wish young noble" Simon bowed
"Okay take me to the Auction room" I said, I had my share of fun and made some money along the way
Simon obliged as he took us upstairs to the auction room
