In-room 217
"Who is that guy in room 117? I want to kill him!" A man angrily said while looking at room 117 with killing intent in his eyes.
"We will find it," one of his subordinates says.
"As soon as the action begins later, quickly ambush him and grab the stone." The man ordered.
"Yes," His subordinates immediately disappeared.
"You are lucky this time" The man looked at room 117 and said.
Although he could still try to fight the bid and potentially win, it might raise suspicion among others if the price continues to rise significantly. People may become vigilant and suspicious about the stone if this occurs.
And that stones were just one of his purpose.
…
In-room 117
There's a person knocking on the door.
The middle age man became vigilant and prepared something and then said: "Come in!"
The door opened, and he saw a strong man holding something.
It's a Crown Stage!
"Here is the item, sir. But you must pay here first, "The man was holding a box then he passed some mobile device to him.
So, it's an auction personnel!
The middle age man took sighed in relief and took the device but remain vigilant against this man.
He logs in to his account, it's an unknown account, and pays the payment then gave it to him.
The man received the notification and saw that the payment had been received. He nodded and then handed over another card for the person to sign.
The middle-aged man signed the card randomly, sneering to himself as he thought, 'Hoho, do you really think you can fool me? Making me sign this so you can trace my handwriting?'
After signing, he returned the card to the personnel man. The man nodded and handed over the box, then left. The middle-aged man opened the box and disappeared, upon seeing that there were no traps, he reappeared.
He took the stone and take a look and said: "So, this is the one?"

"And now we move on to the special item, as I mentioned earlier…" Samson stopped and then
"This will be the greatest auction ever, and one of the most exciting ones" Samson whispered again to make his sound more mysterious.
Oh, what is it…
Most of the audience and some bidders felt curious.
"Ho, I can see how eager your look, so let's not prolong this any longer. Let's Start! Ladies! Enter!" He snapped his finger and said.
They saw two beautiful ladies assisting the handler in pushing the veiled item covered in cloth.
"This is the first time we veiled an item, do you know why is it?"
It must be special!
Some audience thought!
"That's because we are already at the rare, expensive, and unique items! And this is only the first one. Let's unveil it!" Samson said.
A dark stone with a slightly dark red color, about the size of a marble toy, was revealed.
"Do you know what is this?" Samson asked them.
No!
Some of them shook their head but others widened their eyes in surprise.
"You do not know? Then I will tell you, this is a Dragon Obsidian!"
Dragon Obsidian!
Blood of Dragon!
"That's right, Dragon Obsidian comes from the blood of the dragon. You know the body temperature of the dragon was astonishingly high, especially in the high-rank stages. Once they bleed their blood will dry and form into Dragon obsidian."
"Only the Dragon in King stage and above can form a Dragon Obsidian. The King stage is dark red, while the Disaster stage is half red and half dark. But why is this one dark? Do you have any ideas?" Samson pretended to be confused and asked them.
Could… Could it be?
My Goodness!
Legendary Level!
Everyone stood up, including some people from the VIP room, in shock. They took a deep breath, trying to calm themselves, but they couldn't stop their hearts from racing.
Legendary Beasts are extremely rare to be seen, and the Legendary Dragon is the strongest of all, the strongest creature in Retus, and even some people cannot deny it. Dragons are symbols of strength, fear, might, and glory in all people.
And if someone is able to get a contract with a beast that has a dragon bloodline, or even a dragon itself, they must cherish it. These are S-Class contract beasts with great potential.
So, the rumors were true. There really is a dragon. They thought it was just hype, but now seeing it in front of their eyes, they suddenly remembered what Samson said. This auction must be the greatest auction to ever happen in Artheran.
Seeing their eager expression, Samson said: "Do not worry, we have 7 pieces here, anyone can get it" He took the 6 pieces behind the handler.
So Generous!
Unexpectedly, there are seven pieces. They thought, if there are seven pieces here, then how many did Ceras and their team get? It must be a lot. It's really deserved to be a Champion.
"This Dragon Obsidian is a wind element, you know Dragon only has three elements, Wind, Fire, and Lightning, and we get the Wind one"
"So, let's not wait any further and start the bid! The starting price of Dragon Obsidian is… 1 million! With a bid increment of 100,000, so start, anyone, come on, I want a noise, Do I hear 1.1 million?"
"1.5 million!" Room 13
"1.5m at the start, brother from room 13, I will remember you!" Samson pointed his index finger and said.
"1.6 million!"
"1.7 million!"
"1.9 million!"
"2 million!"
"2.3 million!"
…
"3.3 million!"
"3.5 million!"
"3.5m from room 33, Going once, going twice, is there any noise? Any high offers?"
"3.8 million!"
"That's why I said room 13, I will always remember you! Come on anyone, Going once, Going twice, who will give me 3.9m?"
Minute later
"Final call, for the first dragon obsidian, 3.8m! Going once, Going twice, Going thrice… SOLD! Congratulation Room 13!"
"let's not wait any longer. Let's start the second one, starting at a price of 1 million, Do I hear 1.1m?"
"1 million!"
"1.1 million!"
"2.7 million!"
"My goodness, you're in the limelight now room 13!"
"3 million!"
"Room 117, I still remember you!"
"3.1 million!"
"3.8 million!"
"Again, with the same price earlier, room 13, you're so domineering"
"3.9 million!"
"Room 117 and Room 13 in the battle, I already remembered you two"
"4 million!" Room 13
10 seconds later…
"4.1 million!" Room 117
15 seconds later…
"4.3 million!" Room 13
10 seconds later
"4.5 million!" Room 86
"Is there any call, room 117? room 13? Don't worry I will be waiting"
20 seconds later
"No… Then Final Call-"
"4.5 million" Room 117
"Oh, room 117 is still fighting back! Don't worry room 13, I will give you a fair time, I will wait"
This is the last of the cash he has saved from all of his savings. If Room 13 continues to bid, he will be helpless. The middle age man thought.
10 seconds later
Another 10 seconds
Another 20 seconds
1 minute
20 seconds
"Final Call! 4.5 million from the second Dragon Obsidian! Going once, Going twice, Going thrice… SOLD!"
"Congratulation room 117 for having the Dragon Obsidian! You know, you're famous now," Samson said to him.
"Now let's move on to the third Dragon Obsidian, with a starting price…."
…
Room 13
"Let's get the third one," The man said.
"Yeah, Two were already enough to build a weapon! A higher grade" Another man said.
…
Room 86
An old man cupping his chin and said, "Dragon Obsidian can also be used in making elixir, I must get one or two or even three"
...
Hour later
The third Dragon Obsidian was sold at a price of 4.4 million.
The fourth was sold at a price of 4.5 million
The fifth was sold at a price of 4.8 million
The sixth was sold at a price of 5.1 million
The seventh was sold at a price of 5.7 million
…
"Now, let's move on to another one, Ladies, Enter!"
"Do you know what is this? It's a dragon berry!" Samson unveiled it while saying.
There a spiky dark red color the size of a fist of fruit appeared.
"If the Dragon Obsidian can use to provide external strength such as creating a weapon, dragon berry can help to supplement the internal body, especially to the Crown Stages and below."
Another Dragon Item!
And this was the only second one, what's the next, could it be…?
"Don't worry, we have five here, so let's now wait any longer, I will start now, starting price of 1.5 million, anyone, once again let's make a noise, Do I hear 1.6 million?"
"1.5 million!"
"1.6 million!"
"1.8 million!"
"2.1 million!"
"2.4 million!"
"2.5 million!"
…
"4.6 million!"
"4.7 million!"
"4.8 million!"
…
"5.4 million!"
"5.5 million!"
"5.6 million!"
Silent!
"5.6 million for room 86! Don't worry about the others, I will wait and give all of you a minute to think"
Minute later…
"Final Call! 5.6 million for the first Dragon Berry! Going once, Going twice, Going thrice… SOLD!"
"Congratulation room 86…"
…
Hour Later
Second Dragon Berry was sold for 6 million
Third Dragon Berry was sold for 6.4 million
Fourth Dragon Berry was sold for 7 million
Fifth Dragon Berry was sold for 7.7 million
…
"To make you not bored, Let's change the theme of the next item, Again, Ladies, Enter!"
This time the handler was more than double the size compared to the previous one. It also veiled with a black cloth this time.
"You guess, what do you think it is? Weapon? Pill? Or -"
"Dragon!" Someone shouted.
"No, no, no, let's move on to the dragon first, well, let's not wait any further, unveil!"
There's a long weird staff with a scope.
"Throughout history, gun weapons have only been used in low-ranked stages, despite their fame. In high-ranked stages, it is difficult to fight with gun weapons because they have low damage, are brittle, and have low durability compared to other weapons. "
"Additionally, there are already quite a few Grade 6 weapons, such as spears, wands, gauntlets, boots, swords, etc. I can only count on my 10 fingers or maybe just 5 fingers."
"But now, I will tell you some good news, there are two great masters who" Sampson didn't even finish what he said when some interjected.
"We made that!"
A man shouted coming from room 13.
"Oh, could it be, you, room 13, is it Master Ishaan and Master Hauron?" Samson was surprised.
"Hehe, that's right" Hauron voice sounded from room 13.
Hearing these two names appear, other people couldn't help but be surprised.
So, it's these two.
No wonder, they've bought two dragons' obsidian before. These two people are the greatest blacksmith and mechanics in Artheran. Most of the designs of weapons that appeared were mostly made by them.
Ishaan is a Rank 5 Mechanic and Hauron is a Rank 5 Blacksmith.
(Profession: Rank 1 Lowest and Rank 5 Highest)
"My goodness, disrespect, I felt disrespect before, please forgive me, master!" Samson apologizes.
"No, no, continue what you're doing, we like it, it feels interesting!" Ishaan's voice sounded.
"That's right" Hauron
"Oh, thank you, thank you, master, thank you for appreciating, haha, did you hear that? Two Great Masters praised me" Samson said proudly to the audience.
Yeah, yeah, you are great!
Other people just rolled their eyes at him.
"Now, let's continue, this is the new invention created by Master Ishaan and Master Hauron, a combination of wand and gun, I will tell you, this gun grade is comparable to a Grade 6 Gun, and the power was so much stronger compared to the other grade 6 weapon, I tell you, although I don't see a Grade 7 weapon I guess when it comes to the power, this weapon will not lose to anyone…"
"Bastard, can you stop bragging?"
"You're shaming us"
Ishaan and Hauron's embarrassed voices sounded in room 13. Does this bastard really dare?
"This… Master, I apologize" Samson just smile helplessly.
Other people sneered at him.
They just praised you earlier and you exaggerated their weapon. This person was excessively flattering.
"Well, I apologize to the two masters, but I said, this was comparable to grade 6. Its name was MSFOS- Sight Shot! The starting price was 7 million! With an increment bead of 200,000, come one let's start, makes a noise, Do I hear 7.2 million?"
