Capítulo 25: The Auction House
Lin Cian set out for Chai city which is in the distance of a week traveling. Although Lin Cian can use special measures to reach out the Chai city in a day he insisted on traveling by foot because that's how he learned many things.
After a week of travel, Lin Cian was finally in Chai City. On his way, he saw an auction house and decided to have a look.
The Auction house is not very congested. He saw many empty seats. So he decided to stay in to watch the scene. And finally, the auction starts.
A woman entered the stage. Her face was pink as a rose, her clothes were red as blood, her pupils were brown and were glittering, her hair is black, her long legs and curvy body made her stunningly beautiful. When the people saw her they were mesmerized by her beauty. She started to make her call.
She bought in a set of dazzling brown 'armor'.
"This armor was made with the skin of 'Rocking earth Python of grade-2'...."
Wwwwooooowwwwhhh
The crowd went crazy at once when hearing the armor is of grade 2. Because in these areas a 2nd grade is a great deal and also only the first three grades are open to the public. The high grades can only be possessed by bigger families and well-known figures.
The women continued' "This armor comes in a set of a helmet, chest piece, a pair of gauntlets, and a pair of greaves. Anyone can bid and the minimal bidding is 5000 silver coins"
The crowd didn't go crazy for it. After all, they are commoners they don't have enough money to buy this armor.
However, some people bid for the armor, and finally, it was sold for 6000 silver coins.
There were nearly twenty products among them there were some underrated antiques.
"Shining Blue Grass"
...
"Congratulations to the lady in black"
.....
"Axe made of Dragons horn"
...
"Congratulations to the young man in blue."
....
Lin Cian sat calmly because he has seen many things greater than that. So this is not something worthy of him. But after a few rounds there seemed a worthy product.
"This is a whip made of the tail of a blue glittering porcupine ray of an unknown rank and the end of the whip is made by a cold iron dart.... "
This time there seemed to be a commotion. But no words can escape Lin Cian's ears.
"Whip, tsk who in the world will need it"
"yes yes, you are right. The whips cannot be used against a sword or an axe"
"sigh, I am not going for it"
"Antiques, antiques, antiques hahaha"
There were laughing, criticizing, curses but no one is willing to bid over it by then the lady added a prize.
"The whip will be accompanied by a grade 3 whip skill book. Its total cost will be 2 gold coins"
Lin Cian's eyes widened. After all, it is a grade 3 book. Its price should be much higher than that but due to the disfavor of whips, it became a useless piece of parchment. The whole crowd could not help but sigh.
Lin Cian just activated the 'demon's eyes.' He couldn't believe that the whip of the unknown level was emitting a terrifying aura. Lin Cian couldn't help but smile
'Idiots, no one knows the value for real treasure the whip is more valuable than the skill book. If it were to be sold on the second province or if someone from great academies were here, they will be more than ready to get it for hundreds of gold coins. Fine I will get it.'
Some collectors were bidding but they are not much interested so they were going on very small bids.
"2 gold and 1 silver"
"2 gold, 1 silver and 5 copper"
"2 gold and 2 silver"
"2 gold, 2 sil..."
"2 gold and 5 silver" Lin Cian raised the bid which astonished the audience.
Due to the lack of favor, the bid didn't go high. So it was an end.
"2 gold and 5 silver going for the first time... second time..... third time. Congratulations young man"
But the young maiden was telling inside 'Thank you young man you saved my day'. That's because this was her first auction and was a contract based so if she wanted to be a permanent staff it depends on the performance of that day. After all not everyone will get a chance to be an auction manager.
after that, some grade 2 skill books and weapons like spears and swords were called out for bidding and many items incredibly fetched a fortune.
After some time "This is a grade 4 hammer skill book. It will be wonderful for the muscle men like to hold a hammer. Let's start the bid with 1 gold"
The particularly not a big crowd started to laugh.
"Hammers? Darling, I am not a blacksmith "
"Woah, if I had a hammer bloodline I would have bought it for all cost....sigh"
"This is the third boring stuff today" sigh
The hammer is not out of favor. But it cannot be used by simple muscular men. Only the people of hammer bloodline can use it. So people could only admire but not dream about it.
Someone without a hammer bloodline can also use the skill but they should be able to hold a large size millet with ease. Mostly swords and spears of heavy size are mostly favored by muscular men.
It was obvious that no one is interested because one is it is useful for no one and the next one is if a person with hammer bloodline knew it they might get robbed and even get killed.
The auction manager was praying inside and was very nervous because she won't get another chance. It was an awkward moment on the stage.
All of a sudden a small figure raised his hand and said
"1 gold and 2siver"
She was shocked to hear that and it took her some moment to come back from her shock.
"am..... ah... Congratulations young man for owning a skill book"
The whole crowd had only a single thought at that moment "Is he a person with hammer bloodline? "
The auction manager the lady also had the same thoughts. But she was happy because she can continue to be the auction manager.
After a few moments, the young woman announced the conclusion of the auction.
"This is the moment I am waiting for" Lin Cian muttered with a slight smile.
