Chapter 23 - 23) Auction

After listening to the Elven woman I waited for the evening to come. I spent my time looking around the Heavenly Complex. This complex was so big that it was already evening before I finished looking at half of the Complex. The elven woman called me to the auction area before the auction started. I asked her " What is the average amount of money used to buy items in the auction? ". She replied, " All the items are sold for around 50 platinum coins on average. If you want to buy a good ring then it would probably cost more ".

Right, I forgot I am broke compared to these rich people. I suddenly heard a familiar voice " Are you also here for the Auction mister? " said Minerva. Minerva came to the auction with her father and Mr Jack. " I heard what happened after I woke up. Thank you very much for what you did " said Mr Jack.

I replied, " It's nothing don't worry about it and please don't call me Mister I am not that old you can call me Ben ". Minerva said, " I got it, Ben then are you here for the auction too? ". I nodded my eyes and the pope's face turned into the face of a greedy businessman. The pope said, " Would you like to come with us and attend the auction? We were unable to fully repay you as you left in a hurry so we will buy you anything you like".

This old man is probably planning on making me owe him a debt. This way He is making sure that I would help him in the future. I hate this but I am broke so I don't have a choice. I accepted his offer and went to the auction with him. The elven woman politely took us to the VIP room.

The auctioneer was a Werewoman. She had the werewolf bloodline. She started the auction and the first item was a spear. She said, " This is the Meteor spear. The level requirement to use this spear is 40. The user of the spear gets +30 in both Str and Con stat. This spear also contains a skill called Meteor rush".

The audience started their bidding. Finally, the spear was sold for 60 platinum coins to someone from VIP room 3. The VIPs are given an individual room with light-proof glasses. This makes it so that no one will know who the VIP is.

Many rare items came to the auction. The Pope also bought some good items for her daughter. " Auction item number 13, This material is made using a dragon's core but no one has ever been able to identify the other items that were used to make this Ring. This ring is a growth-type ring but no one has figured out the condition for the ring to grow ".

The normal audience chose to give up the ring but the one in VIP room 3 chose to bid 4 platinum coins for the ring. He is probably one of the rich guys who like to collect them and have them as antiques. I chose to bid 5 platinum coins as this is the only way I could get my hands on the ring.

The one in the VIP room 3 bid 10 platinum coins. Now I have no way to get the ring. Before the auctioneer sold it the Pope increased the bid to 15 platinum coins. " I don't know why you are interested in this but this is the only item you chose to bid so I will help you buy it ".

The final bid for the ring was 40 Platinum coins and the pope bought it. The guy in the VIP room 3 chose to give up on the ring that had no value other than being an antique. The pope bought me the ring and I chose to keep it in the inventory. I thanked the pope and came out.

Mr Jack who was waiting for me outside said " I am one of the renowned magicians in this city so if you need any help you can come ask me. You can send me a message by crushing this Message stone, Keep it ". I thanked Mr Jack and left the complex to do some hunting.

There was another reason why I bought this ring. It was because Eclipse recognised this ring. Although she refused to say anything about it a ring that caught the eye of a dragon is probably a good ring so I bought it.

Time flew by fast as I prepared for the Academy Entrance exam. It has already been 5 days after the Auction and it is now time for the Academy entrance exam.
