The man decided not to bid more as there was still a chance that he could win the other batches. It would be silly to spend more money on this single batch alone."360,000 ONE!" Vilma announced, she was pretty satisfied with this price."360,000 TWO!" Vilma announced again, her gaze sweeping through everyone writing for someone to raise the price. But no one did."360,000 THREE!" Vilma said and slammed the hammer. Someone promptly came and knocked on the door, Mayra opened the door and a male servant came in with a metallic box that had runes engraved on it."We will have more of these potions, so come again with all the potions that we buy once the potions are all auctioned off," Karma said. The servant nodded and left, leaving behind the box full of potions.When Karna opened the lid, the runes glinted with a slight glow revealing the tightly sealed ten bottles. The material of the bottle was like plastic but the amazing thing was that it was transparent. Meaning that it wasn't frag
Karna then proceeded to acquire all six batches of the potions. The man from before did try to get but no matter how many bids he raised, Karna would bid even more.The others just watched awestruck by the turn of events. All the mercenary groups also wanted the potions but the truth was that not many people needed Spiritual Force Recovery potions as there weren't many people who used Spiritual Force in such high demand as Karna did. When the two madmen started bidding like crazy, it was wise of others to not be stubborn. However, Karna garnered a lot of attention from everyone as he was spending money like water on something like Spiritual Force Recovery Potions."Why did you buy so many?" Sophia asked wide-eyed. "Well, I had a use for them. For training..." Karna answered vaguely.Sophia looked at him suspiciously as of trying to figure him out. Karna felt the awkwardness and tried to change the topic,"Well, should we leave now? we have got what we came for," Karna said. He had f
Up next, a few more weapons were auctioned off. The special one in them was a bow made of a special kind of wood that had a high affinity with the wood element. The gentleman who at first was trying to get the 'Time-Lass' acquired the bow for a hefty price. After that, some magic items were auctioned off which were more like luxury items to make life easier. Many nobles and highborn ladies were interested in such items and finally, an Earl who had come for Noble's gathering similar to Karna bought a few luxury items. Many others also got a chance to have one thing or another. And with all these items being auctioned off, this particular segment of the auction was also done. And now the time had finally arrived for which everyone was eagerly waiting. The special items for the auction now were about to appear on stage. "The moment is finally here where the most awaited Special Items will now be shown to all of you. These are the most valuable of today's auction and you must not miss
"It's him!" Karna suddenly exclaimed."Who's who?" Sophia asked, she was still somewhat in shock from before. "It's that Brycen guy from the House Carlstine. I remember him well." Karna said. Sophia frowned when she heard of House Carlstine and looked at the VIP room in which the man probably was. 'God damn it! What the hell is his problem?' Karna thought, He needed the Manual at any cost. It was very critical to his progress. Sophia seemed to have understood Karna's concern as she said, "I'm sure he doesn't know that it's us in here." "So he really wants it then?" Karna muttered while knitting his brows. He had a great headache coming in. Although the Zarx family was rich to the point that it was ridiculous, the wealth of a Duke was not to be underestimated. Karna did not want to spend an impossible amount of money. "There's no need to worry My Lord, I don't think the Duke would hand that dimwit a large amount of money. The reason we can afford to spend so much is because of
A servant came in with the fancy box in which the manual was stored. Karna decided to keep the manual inside his ring for now and check it out later. The auction was now almost over as all kinds of items had been auctioned off until now. Only the final special item was left. Although Karna did not need to stay anymore, it wouldn't hurt to see what the last item would be. "It's time for today's last item everybody!" Villa said and clapped. This time it wasn't an art piece or a sculpture that was brought, nor it was some jewelry, potion, or a rare item. What was brought in front of everyone this time was a cage. There was a magical creature in it. The creature seemed to be the cub of a Quilin. It had a body like a deer, a single horn and white hair like a unicorn, the tail of a lion, and a head like a dragon. It also had tiny immature scales on its body with black and large puppy dog eyes. The creature looked pretty cute as it was small right now. Only that it appeared to be very
The auction was over and people began leaving. Some tried to inquire as to who might the person be that was full of riches. While some of them had purely curious motives and some of them didn't. Karna was still there waiting in the VIP room for the Qilin cub. Sophia was also there with him and she seemed to be still pondering on something. The door opened and Karna saw someone who he absolutely didn't want to see. "Oh-hoo~ Young Master Rudra. You sure made your debut quite glorious." Vilma said smilingly as she entered the room. Two servants with the cage also appeared from behind her and entered. The Qilin looked to be very despondent inside the cage. Karna did not pay any heed to Vilma and simply looked at the little Qilin. Vilma was no amateur and understood when her charm worked and when it didn't. However, she looked between Sophia and Karna for a bit and smirked, "My oh my, intriguing," She thought. Sophia shot her a suggestive glance hinting at something and Vilma seem to h
The auction was officially over and now it was time to get back to the castle. Everybody else had already left. The carriage was parked in the backyard of the Auction House, although it would not harm to reveal that it was 'Rudra' who spent money so lavishly, he decided to keep it under wraps for now. Especially now that he had Eirwen with him. Sophia did not speak much while the whole journey back to the castle. Eirwen was not in the cage anymore. In fact, she was sitting in Karna's lap. She was a newborn and despite her intelligence, she was still a child. Her body wasn't mature and big like an adult Qilin and so she looked like a rather unique puppy with a horn on the head and a strange tail. It took around an hour for them to get back to the castle. Sophia said goodbye and left, Karna had much to check and think about and so without any delay, he went back to his room. Sophia got back to the same chamber as before. The doors were still closed and some kind of meeting still seem
The special banquet or noble's gathering was now just one day away. When returning to his room, Karna saw that the castle's look had changed significantly. It looked like it was built yesterday, everything was clean and polished. The castle was fully adorned and in full-on festival mode. But Karna had other things to worry about, he had the Spirit Soul Force Manual in his possession and that took priority first and foremost. Karna, first of all, closed the door tightly and brought out the box in which the Manual was placed. "This is important so stay at a side somewhere and don't disturb me, okay?" Karna said as he patted Eirwen. The little Qilin nodded and jumped off Karna's arms. She went where the basket of fruits was and gracefully sat down on the floor with the basket hanging from her tiny mouth. She put down the basket and looked at Karna as if telling him not to worry and that she would keep an eye on him. Karna also sat down on the ground cross-legged sitting on his speci
