章 249: 249.Wrong

"High priest, how fortunate we are to see you here. I am surprised that you have brought some young adventurers with you this time." Markus had assumed that these were guests of the high priest when they had all entered.

"Actually it is the opposite, today I am the guest. These young ones made an offer to bring me along and I just could not refuse. What can I say I am easily tempted." He laughed a bit showing his charisma. 

Markus was caught with surprise; he had not ever expected them to have a ticket to this auction at such a young age, it was even rare for a nobles child to have one for themselves. "It has been a little while since we last saw each other, treasurer Raven. You are looking well, I hope that the wine you bought last time proved desirable. We had a little trouble getting it out of the ancient ruins."
