The beautiful hourglass figure was complimented to its full extent, accentuated by her walking and the movement of her gorgeous back.
...
Terias was seated together with Robert and Hexter, watching the auctioneer tempting and energizing the audience.
The room was like a cabin only available to VIP's. The room had two sofas facing the window with a table in between them.
The table had a small notebook and a pen at the side with delicious looking refreshments in the middle.
The window in the room was made of glass and it allowed them to see the stage.
...
The total area occupied by the audience did not exceed ten meters. The total number of people attending the event amounting to be less than hundred.
It was an exclusive event for a reason and not an official auction. Only a member invited by another member of the group could attend it.
"Gentlemen, I am Tasha, the lovely host of the event today and I assure you that you would not be disappointed with the items today." Tasha, the auctioneer winked playfully
Her beautiful natural voice was clearly audible to the VIP rooms.
'It would have been fun to get a seductress like her for my Ying Yang technique.' Terias thought imagining the skills she would have used to pleasure him.
...
Robert was not the one to be interested in these things, he appreciated a beauty when he saw one but he was not at all tempted by them.
Being a Viscount and a fifty years old at that, he have had enough of the sexual pleasure.
'Is he perhaps interested in indulging with the auctioneer ? I could use this opportunity to make him owe me a favour.' Robert looked at the desire in his new ally's eyes.
He was confident that the Viscount was interested in the woman on the stage. He was waiting for the opportunity to subtly bring up the topic about woman and maybe help Terias get acquainted with this one.
...
'Should I pretend to be a friend of the auctioneer? No, I should first get the relevant information about the lady on the stage.' Robert thought that there was a possibility the woman on stage might have some important connections with people up the ladder.
It was a wise choice to first have her background investigated and then maybe propose a deal to her. The chances of any sane woman declining the favour from two Viscounts werre negligible.
Not to mention the ages of people in noblility and warriors rarely mattered, as long as they were adults.
He took a pen and paper from the notebook and wrote something on it. He glanced at his back, the attendant was standing there. He signalled the guy to pass on the paper to the guard outside.
The attendant took the note from Robert's hand and went outside the door. He informed the guard from Robert's side and passed the paper note to him.
The attendant then went back inside the VIP room.
...
Terias noticed the small event but he did not put much attention into the act.
He was more focused on the items coming out in the auction. The items really broadened his horizons, once again pointing out that he was in a supernatural world.
The Viscount's notes did not have any mention of super natural items and artifacts.
It was safe to say that he did not bother delving into anything except his research into martial arts.
This world's technical advancement was really limited, starting from the mode of transport to the limited means of communication.
The world was really backward in some of the most basic things. However, the reality was vastly different from what he knew, at least for the rich.
The nobles all had access to their little circles, within that they shared the artifacts especially made by their families and exchanged it within the group.
From what he could see, it was an open knowledge to most of the noble families except for the new one like his which only gained a title three generations ago.
...
Some of the artifacts that drew in his attention were :
Black sword
"This sword is called as Black sword.
The weapon is an artifact which was made from a demon beast.
The weapon can channel KI and enable you to fire KI slash outside of the body, an attack only possible by level 5 warrior." Tasha explained
Recall stone
"This is an artifact made for long distance conversation, unfortunately the effect of the artifact differed from the creator's intent.
It can record and any event within 10 meters of it's radius and then can be played again and again." Tasha displayed a white stone
The human body
"This is not a normal book I am holding in my hands, the book has the information on the human physiology in detail with many theories by Doctor Eren, a prodigious talent.
The book has no written words but physical constructs of the body" Tasha said as she pointed at a heavy book encased in glass.
...
Terias wanted the Recall stone and The human body book, as both of them had the feature of making physical constructs, which intrigued him.
Time passed and the servant from outside the room had brought in a paper and handed it to Robert.
The auction of the items successfully took place.
Terias had highly contested for the Recall stone, the cost was hefty almost leaving him penniless. He had brought some close to 100 gold coins, and only barely bought the recall stone for 200 gold.
The pricing was difficult for him to assume, he did not know the market for these artifacts and had no idea if he had overpaid.
He only knew that a family of five could be fed for five years with 100 gold coins.
...
And from where did he get the extra hundred coins for the artifact? He wrote a cheque in the name of his Viscount title, the cheque was worth the amount and can be withdrawn by the establishment from his province.
From what Robert and Hexter explained, everyone was here for the book called ' The human body ', massively reducing his competition as they saved their gold for it.
The book actually contained the knowledge from Doctor Eren who was a level 5 warrior before he disappeared.
He was a miracle doctor, able to cure most of the ailments. At the same time his research on the human physiology was so deep that he reached level 5 with effective methods, in his fifties.
The people in the auction were mostly here for this and since they were exclusive members only, all of them had prepared to contest for it.
...
The book finally went to Robert with a total of six hundred and twenty gold coins. He could only get it because of his competitors fear that they were bidding against a Viscount.
Robert looked visibly excited and happy than the tense and sweating appearance during the bidding.
Since the Recall stone was auctioned before the book, the competitors didn't wish to put their money to waste on a recording device, which made it easy for Terias to acquire it.
The trade off event was about to start when Tasha, the auction host entered their room.
...
Robert got informed that she was a level two warrior and was proactive in looking for backers.
She sold information to Barons and such to gain favour which also helped the establishment, advertising their items.
She was a woman who ruthlessly climbed into the group of nobles, joining the event as a host.
She was a good host, a beautiful lady and also a powerful fighter, which helped her to maintain her position.
...
Robert had already informed Terias that he was acquainted with Tasha and called her to attend to them for the trade off.
He also made a subtle suggestion to Terias meaning he could take a break and get closer with the woman as him and Hexter went for the following event.
The trade off was only available for the VIP's. Hence, a room was arranged for their safety and privacy, leaving only Terias and Tasha.
...
As everyone left, after introducing herself Tasha sat on the table across him within a hand's reach.
She signalled for the attendant to go out of the room. It was only her and Terias remaining in the room, facing each other.
"Why didn't you sit beside me, it seems uncomfortable for you to be seated on the hard table." Terias said to her looking at her legs crossed, as she adjusted her dress
She had a slit at the back of her dress, almost showing her thighs to the onlookers from the back when she walked.
Now that she was seated in front of him, on a table which was a few inches higher than his sofa. He could get a clear view of her plump thighs and the visible panty.
"Would that make you not sit me on your hard thing? If yes, then I might as well as sit beside you." She said with a playful smile as she played with a banana on the table.
"Are you suggesting you want to do it here? " Terias asked, shocked inside.
"What a gentleman. Were you planning to take me out? Sir Viscount." She naively asked a question as if she was not playing with a peeled banana and licking on it .
The erotic act was enough for his healthy body to react, his pant grew tighter around his crotch, giving a rise to the bulge.
