Capítulo 13: My deduction abilities frighten me
(MC's POV)
Bustling sounds of a lively city greeted my ears as I walked along the main square of Black Rock City with Lily.
Black Rock City was one of the many major cities existing in the territory of Rein Kingdom that served as vassal to the Qing Shan Empire.
As such, its main square was marked by the presence of numerous street vendors opening their business atop the stony-paved ground below, and many gambling spots which nested their dealings inside the brick houses with a bell and poster hanging on the front.
It had been five days since we arrived here, however, the workings of a crowded city still seemed foreign to me who had stayed in relative isolation from population for many years.
Especially the reaction of these people as they saw me coming was rather unexpected.
"Run, It is the crazy fox masked guy and his loli minion."
"Heavens, what else does he want to rob from us."
The merchants of the street vender hurriedly started closing their shops as my line of sight aligned with them.
Currently I and Lily were hiding our face with similarly matched fox mask to hide our appearances as it could warrant unwanted attention.
So, these words could only be for us.
But I don't think I have done anything to cause such a reaction among masses.
There was even a merchant who was spreading salt in front of his stall as if to ward off evil spirits.
My fragile heart is shattering.
(๑′̥̥̥▵‵̥̥̥ ૂ๑)
I was even kind enough to point out their defective products and fix their broken balance to make more accurate measurements.
Sure, the customers who were surrounding them at that time were furious and beat them black and blue, but it is not like I had anything to do with it.
They should be thanking me instead.
Such ungrateful brats.
Shaking my head like an old man filled with disappointment towards the new generation, I moved towards my destination.
Still,
I wonder why those suspicious shops are closing the moment I walk through the streets?
I don't think I ever came near them before.
I can vaguely make out the words they are saying in fear.
Demonic Loli?
Whom could they be referring to?
It couldn't be Lily could it?
I thought as I looked down to see Lily's face half-covered in fox mask.
Noticing my gaze, she lifted her head to meet mine and said in a cute voice.
"What happened master?"
Nah.
There is no way someone as cute as her can be called as a demonic Loli.
They must be referring to the girl crying over her dropped candy next to me instead.
Her cries are indeed demonic.
My disciple is obedient and the epitome of being well-mannered.
...…
Strolling aside, our purpose of visiting the city was to attend the yearly auction which takes place in the city every late summer.
To be precise, it is to obtain the luminous crystal which has not been auctioned off for the past thirty years.
Common sense would dictate the auctioning hall to lower the price and sell them through other platforms.
But these were the people whose young miss formed amiable connection with Young Che five years from now when he first sold his garbage pills, so I can't say common sense applies to them.
Well, their stupidity is to my favor, so I can't blame them for being stupid.
In fact, I am glad.
Thank you, Young Che.
May your stupidity continue to grow from now on.
Not that it needs to anymore.

...….
The annual auction of the auctioning hall is one of the most prominent events in the Black Rock City and its neighboring cities.
Hence, several people in rich and ostentatious clothing could be seen entering the premise of the hall to buy items of their liking.
Not to look shabbier than these people, I and Lily wore clothes which were worth more than their net worth.
I mean, why encounter an arrogant guard by dressing commonly when you can meet a sexy receptionist instead?
Besides, I have a lot of clothes in my arsenal and see no reason to hide them.
Ignoring Lily's tight grip around my arm, I followed the sexy receptionist who came to receive me till the top floor of the auctioning hall.
She even gave me a wink.
Ha ha.
This lord is finally living the Riajuu life.
… Why am I feeling a chill behind my back?
Must be my imagination.
Anyways, the event followed smoothly.
So smoothly that I quickly felt sleepy.
After barely managing to contain my sleepiness, the auctioneer finally called out the thing I was waiting for.
"And next is the mascot of our auctioning hall- The luminous Crystal."
"No one knows the use nor ability of this crystal other than the fact that it cannot be destroyed."
"However, it was excavated from the ruins of Evergarden. Due to the difficulty of obtaining this mysterious crystal, the starting bid is 500 low grade spirit stones."
Unlike the deafening bids of the previous items, this one was met with a resounding silence.
Not surprising I guess.
Who in their right mind would buy a single crystal whose only use was equivalent to a lighting stone costing only 5 low grade SS?
No one.
Unless, they knew the use of it that is.
That stone is a rare item even in the heavenly plane which goes by the name of Luminous fairy.
As many of you may have guessed already, the crystal is used to create weapons.
In particular, light weapons.
I can use it to create one for Lily and me.
The only catch of creating a weapon through this crystal is that it needs to be refined in a special way which is only popular in the heavenly plane.
I wonder how Young Che got to know about it?
Although, I think it probably has something to do with that grandpa who stays in the ring he wears every time.
As for how I know he has something in his ring?
Unless he has a serious case of depression or mental illness (which he may have), I can't see any other reason behind him talking to his ring and replying to it every day.
In the trial alone, he did it 5 times.
I wonder how other people ignore it.
As for how I know it is a grandpa?
Although it shames me to say this, I know Young Che well.
If it was a beauty, he would occasionally tease it.
If it was a handsome lad, he would treat him as a semi-BL brother.
But he treats him normally, which means that he must be a grandpa.
Damn.
My deduction capabilities even frighten me.
I thought with pride as I placed my bid and smiled at the sexy receptionist who brought the crystal later.
For some reason, my disciple was staring at me.
I wonder why?
