Without looking behind, Myles kept following the direction provided by Vincent to reach the auction house.
As time went by, the number of
Nearly an hour passed away in the blink of an eye.
Myles had finally arrived at his destination. He was now standing in front of a large black building. There were around more than a dozen fighters guarding the building.
The sight of so many fighters was very rare in the outer edges of the kingdom. Specially when spotting even a single fighter was very difficult in the outer edges of the kingdom.
Hundreds of people were walking near the auction house but none caused any trouble.
With so many fighters serving as guard, no one dared to cause any trouble around here.
"Let's try to enter the auction house" Myles mumbled as he walked towards the auction house.
He was noticed by the guards just a few seconds after he started to walk towards them. The guards stared at him like trying to gauge the depths of his soul itself.
Myles ignored the intense and continued to quietly make his way towards the gate. When he got close enough, an authoritative voice resounded through his ears.
"Halt!!" The voice of a guard resounded through his ears.
Myles did as he was asked, hence halting his steps. It wasn't long before two guards surrounded him and asked him questions.
"Have you come here to attend the auction?" One of the guards asked.
"Yes," Myles replied.
"You will have to pay the entry fee if you want to enter," The guards replied.
"How much do I need to pay?" Myles asked.
"Around 500 universal coins" The guard replied.
Myles winced at that price, even though it wasn't much for those who visited the auction house. It was still quite costly for a beginner like him.
Though, Myles knew better than to cause trouble for such minor issues. Hence, he wordlessly took out his pouch and took out roughly 500 universal coins.
Afterwards, he handed it over to the guards. One of the guards wordlessly took the money.
"I have paid, can I enter now" Myles asked.
"First answer some of our questions" The guard remarked while taking out a piece of paper and a pen.
Myles nodded his head signaling them to proceed with the questioning.
"Have you been referred by someone to visit the auction house?" The guard asked.
He was certainly referred to by someone since he had come here after reading the post online. He nodded his head since there wasn't any reason to lie.
"The name of the person?" The guard asked.
"Juilian646" Myles said.
"Also, do you wish to remain anonymous?" The guard asked.
There was no way in hell that he was going to reveal his identity to anyone. So the answer was quite obvious.
"Anonymous" Myles calmly replied.
Although Myles chose to remain anonymous. He didn't know if it applied to the auction house.
Almost like reading his thoughts, the guard cleared his doubts just moments later.
"Don't worry, our house prioritizes privacy above all. Hence you don't need to reveal your identity to the house" The guard replied with a chuckle.
"Also wait for a few minutes. You will be granted entry soon" The guard said as he walked away.
Myles heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He lifted a burden from his heart. Nonetheless, he diverted his attention towards the guard.
The guard had entered the building. However, it didn't take long for the guard to return. Just a few minutes later, Myles saw him exiting the building and walking towards him.
When the guard got close enough, he extended his closed fist and opened up, revealing a small badge.
"This badge indicates your guest number. Wear it all the time inside the auction house if you don't want to get kicked.
Also the no. written on the badge corresponds to your seat number and quest number. Hence, look for the seat with the same number as your badge to find your seat." The guard exclaimed.
He glanced at its number before taking it.
"Hmm, number 201" Myles mumbled
Afterwards without uttering a single word, Myles took the badge from his palm and put it on.
"Can I enter now?" Myles asked.
"Yes, walk in a straight line. If you do so, you will reach the auction room where the auction is going to start in an hour, "the guard replied.
Myles nodded his head, without uttering a single word. He entered the auction house after just a few seconds of walking.
Upon his arrival, the door behind him closed down with a bang.
He briefly glanced around his surroundings. He saw that the inside of the place was lit up fairly by some bulbs powered by electricity.
The floors were made up of shining tiles and the walls were also painted white. Numerous decorations were seen around him.
There were also some guards patrolling the interior of the building.
"Let's keep going," Myles thought to himself as he started to walk.
As he walked, he came across dozens of guards patrolling. But they ignored each other, like they didn't even exist in the first place.
He soon spotted a big gate in the distance which was widely opened after walking in a straight line.
He assumed that it was the entrance to the auction room. Hence, he continued to walk forward.
He passed through the big gate a few seconds later. Beyond the gate laid, a big room which was full of hundreds of seats.
Around a few hundred seats were already occupied.
"Let's look for seat number 201" Myles thought to himself.
He began to look for seat number 201 a few seconds later. It didn't take long for him to find his seat.
The two seats besides him were already occupied. Like him, they were also wearing masks so he couldn't see his face. It seemed like a lot of people wanted to keep their identities hidden!
Myles shook his head and sat down on his seat.
"Now all I need to do is wait for the auction to start," Myles thought to himself.
Myles waited patiently for the auction to start. As he was waiting more people were arriving at the auction room gradually filling the vacant seats.
Time passed away in the blink of an eye. He saw that one person was walking towards the stage. They quickly took control of the microphone there.
They announced something that everyone was eagerly waiting for.
"Hello everyone, I am happy to announce that the auction is about to officially begin !!" The person declared his voice carrying seriousness.
