Arran spent the rest of the day touring around the main area of Fort Crawford with Elena in his company. It had to be said that even though the station was in its night cycle, the main area was still as bustling as it had been earlier in the day when Arran had flown over the city.
This was literally the definition of a city that never slept.
Before Arran started his tour officially, Elena had first taken him to sample a few of the local delicacies of the main area.
Arran had visited the most popular restaurants and eateries both inside and outside the auction house. There were different types of foods and ingredients that originated from countless planets and realms. Each was prepared following traditional recipes native to the worlds they originated from.
The meals Arran had tasted were varied and exquisite, and each had its own unique exotic tastes. With Arran's appetite, that had gotten increasingly larger since he started training, it had taken very l
After hearing Arran's question, a look of surprise flashed through the eyes of Sadie and John. They seemed surprised that Arran did not understand the reason for them coming to meet him fully armed.Trapp himself was smiling inside his hood as he looked at Arran and said, "I almost forgot you were ignorant of these things, so I didn't explain it to you sooner. Anyway, since we are already here, you'll get to find out the reason for these arrangements later. As for now, we should get going and enter the auction house. We don't want to miss anything."Arran listened to Trapp and did not ask again. Instead, he followed Trapp's lead and entered the auction house while admiring the new equipment Sadie and John had gotten.Elena hung back and hesitated for a moment on whether to follow them in. She had already contacted madame vera to inform her about Trapp's arrival and she was waiting on further instructions from her. Since she had gotten any instructions yet, Elena
"These daggers are the only weapons I need," Trapp said, after revealing his daggers. There was a hint of pride in his tone and it was clear that Trapp was very proud of his daggers and he had a lot of feelings for them.That pair of curved daggers had probably been with him for a long time and they had followed him through thick and thin.Unfortunately, Arran's mind was not here, so he didn't hear what Trapp said. He only gave a perfunctory grunt in answer to Trapp's proud words."Hmm."Trapp finally caught onto Arran's current mood. He was no longer as cheerful as he used to be, and it was clear something was going on in his mind.Curious, Trapp asked, "What's up with you? What's with the sudden glum expression on your face?""Nothing," Arran answered."Just feeling a bit sullen is all.""About," Trapp asked further."Well," Arran began."It's really nothing. It's just seeing your daggers suddenly got me thinkin
Arran, Trapp, Sadie, John, and Elena entered the auction house and arrived at the first-floor lobby.This was the first time Arran had been on the first floor. Before, when Arran had entered the auction house, he had directly flown in and out of the upper floors using the mini cars. Now, seeing the atmosphere on the first floor, Arran realized it was very different from how he had imagined.The place was teeming with people from different races, each going about their own business. It was like Arran was entering the lobby of a large mall and there were different spaces where people gathered to carry out various tasks.Arran looked around and he was overwhelmed by the activity that was carried out in this place. The first-floor lobby of the auction house did not lose out on the streets outside in terms of traffic at all.After taking a quick look, Arran followed the group and went ahead to a certain part of the lobby. There were a few people gathered over
The bidding war... This was a way to decide the results of an auction by displaying one's own strength in order to win the bid. There was a saying that might make right and the bidding war conducted in the auction house completely embodied this saying perfectly. Only with the strength of a person's fists could they claim their intended reward? But not just anybody could participate in a bidding war simply because they wanted to. There were a series of due processes that needed to be followed before a person gained the qualifications to win a bid in the auction house using their strength. First, one would have to register with the auction house before they could participate in a bidding war. You could register by yourself alone or together with others to form a battle squad and fight together. Naturally, the bidding war was divided into single matches, group matches, and team matches. The single matches were only for single participants to comp
The Myths and Fables battle Squad!!!Everybody looked at Arran when he mentioned the intended name of the battle team he was about to register. They were all thinking the same thing... that the name was too casual.Trapp, who was more familiar with Arran, thought the same way and he straight away asked him."The Myths and Fables Battle Squad... that's such a casual name. why did you come up with such a casual name for our new squad? is it that you are too lazy to think of a proper and cool sounding name for our squad and you couldn't be bothered so you randomly thought of a casual name for us?""Tell me, if you can't think of a good name yourself for our squad, how about you let me do it? I promise I will come up with a truly grand name befitting of the squad I will be joining."Hearing Trapp's suggestion, Arran shook his head and replied, "No, it has to be this name. I insist on this."Trapp was surprised that Arran was seriously going to n
Arran finished explaining the origin of the name he had chosen. Now nobody in Arran's team had any objections to using this name as their team's name to participate in the auction house's bidding wars.Even Trapp could only sigh before agreeing reluctantly."Sigh! I understand now... although it's still such a casual name, there's nothing I can say. I guess we can only use it as you like. You're the boss, anyway."Seeing as Arran's team had agreed with the name, the staff member that was registering them immediately went to work getting everything set up.Registering a team for the bidding war did not take a lot of time. In only three minutes, the staff was done, and he handed Arran back his identification token as well as another along with it. This token had the symbol of Fort Crawford on one side and on the other, there were the words, Myths, and Fables Battle Squad.This was the official token of the battle squad that would participate in the b
The elevators in the auction house were really fast. It didn't take long for Arran and his group to get to their destination. In at most three minutes, they arrived at the five hundredth floor.Ding!With a clear chime, the elevator came to a stop and its doors opened. Arran, Trapp, Sadie, John, and Elena stepped out into a whole new world...The five hundredth floor was completely different from how the first floor of the auction house had been. When Arran stepped into the five hundredth floor, it was like he was entering an ocean world.A vast expanse of clear blue skies and a tranquil blue ocean appeared in Arran's view, stretching off into the distance and beyond the horizons of Arran's vision. It was like Arran was looking at a picturesque painting possessing incomparable beauty and rich essence.Arran was stunned by the beautiful sight in front of him, but most importantly, he was confused...For a moment, Arran believed that he had so
The elevator was located on a barren island somewhere on the five hundredth floor. There was nothing noteworthy about this island on the island, so the group of five quickly left the island and made their way further inwards towards the center. On the edge of the island, there was a small wharf where people could rent vessels to navigate through the floor. The five of them rented a medium-sized boat to carry them towards the center of the island. On the way, Arran and his group encountered a few islands that seemed inhabited, along with others that sported different kinds of facilities. They could even see people on these islands as they lounged around their island. Along the way, Elena tried to explain some of the unique features of the various islands and their occupants due to the information she had. Arran and his group opened their ears and listened with the attitude of familiarizing themselves with their environment and potential competitors. By the tim
