chapter 38
38 – Sunstone Fragment-4
“The item coming out this time is <Sword of Lucius>! A hero of the Eastern Kingdom of Ascent 300 years ago! This is the sword favored by Lucius! A hero’s sword with a noble history! Let’s start with 1,000 gold!
“1000!”
“1100!”
“Why is that thing coming out of there?”
As expected from Arteil, the kingdom’s largest trading city, high-quality items emerged from the underground auction house.
300 years ago, the sword of Lucius, a hero and knight who suppressed the rebellion of the Eastern Ascent Kingdom in half a year.
It was an item that anyone with even the slightest interest in history could not help but covet.
“I feel an unusual energy.”
“Because it is the sword of a hero.”
“Do you like that sword?”
“Not really.”
It’s something you can’t have now, and you shouldn’t have it.
That sword has a different owner, as it is an important key that should not be obtained right now.
For now, it was right to go with the flow, like the original story.
“So when will the sunstone come out? If this continues, the woman’s feathers will fall out first.”
“Hang in there, it’ll come out soon.”
The three-legged crow seemed to be uncomfortable, poking out his lips and expressing his dissatisfaction.
The sunstone I was looking for did not appear, but only the weapon appeared, so it was quite boring.
“Fifteen hundred! It was sold for fifteen hundred!”
Soon, Lucius’ sword fell into someone’s hand, and the auctioneer immediately sent the next item up to the stage.
“The item shown this time is a decoration favored by a noblewoman in the empire! A necklace made of red diamonds…”
Row after row.
A sparkling necklace.
The three-legged figure stared at the jewelery, drooling at the dazzling appearance of the red diamond.
It seemed that he had not completely abandoned the crow’s habit of being fascinated by shiny things.
“Three-legged crow?”
“Huh!”
It was only after hearing Harvey’s words that the three-legged crow came to his senses with the cry, “Huh!”
“I’m sorry.”
“No, rather than over there.”
The three-legged crow turns his neck to where Harvey pointed with his finger.
There was a strange stone on display there that was unsightly but gave off a strange atmosphere.
“That’s…!”
“It’s a sunstone fragment. It’s smaller than I thought, but it’s definitely the real thing.”
The three-legged crow’s eyes begin to get bigger and bigger.
As the hope that had been sought for a long, long time appeared before their eyes, the three-legged figure burst into flames with a burning desire.
“Not yet.”
However, Harvey calmed down the three-legged crow by stroking its head.
It was not yet the time, when the organization was directly involved in the work.
It was time to legally extort sunstones.
Soon, the accessories of a noble family are sold by someone.
The long-awaited sunstone has arrived on the stage.
“Now, the item I’m going to introduce to you this time is a mysterious relic discovered in an ancient ruin! At first glance, it’s an ordinary stone, but the mysterious fact is that it contains the power of an ancient ruin! Now, the lowest price for this historically valuable stone is 100 gold. Let’s start from here!”
“100 gold!”
“110 gold!”
The auction price goes up immediately after the detailed explanation.
It was quite popular among enthusiasts who collected ancient relics as a hobby, but most people seemed uninterested.
“1000 gold.”
However, someone on the other side charged an exorbitant price.
“1,000…1,000 gold has been awarded! Is there anyone who wants more?”
Murmur.
Attention is instantly focused on the man who gave 1000 gold to that stone.
Although his face was obscured, the man was confidently raising his hand and staring at the sunstone.
“2000 gold.”
At that time, someone on the other side raises the price.
Soon the man frowns and raises his hand again to raise the price.
“3000 gold.”
“I got 3000 gold!!!”
“You can’t believe they put that much money into a piece of stone.”
“These guys don’t even know how to look at things.”
“…Who the hell are those guys?”
The excitement at the auction house gets even hotter.
Suddenly, people’s attention turned to Harvey and the man, and Harvey, enjoying the gaze, leisurely raised his hand and opened his mouth again.
“10,000 gold.”
“I got 10,000 gold!!!!!! Is there anyone here who can ask for more?”
“Honey, that’s too much money…”
“This is nothing to the Artur family.”
“You must be crazy!”
“What is that rock?”
10,000 gold is enough for 5 years of living expenses for a decent nobleman.
Who on earth is this man who just throws away such payment?
Wow.
The man’s teeth begin to grind horribly.
How dare someone try to steal what they were aiming for?
” hey…! “
“Don’t you have 10,000 gold?! 3, 2, 1 The gentleman over there won the bid for this stone from the ancient ruins!”
However, the man’s cries were drowned out by the auctioneer’s cries, and Harvey put down his glass with a satisfied smile.
“My dear! You have finally obtained the sunstone!”
Seeing that, the three-legged crow jumped up and down in his seat and was so happy.
We can finally recreate some of the glory of the past.
A new beast from those glorious days
You can go back again.
“Not yet.”
“What did you say?”
“Not yet. What kind of kids are they? Do you think they will try to take it away by force?”
“You guys are crazy.”
“That’s right, they’re crazy people. They’re a group of crazy people who will use any means necessary to achieve their goals.”
Harvey slowly got up from his seat and walked over to receive the sunstone he had won.
The three-legged crow also walked after Harvey, and the man whose sunstone was stolen right in front of him turned his head, looked for Harvey, and sent a deadly force.
However, Harvey leisurely enjoyed the gaze as he shed his life without any problem despite the mixed life.
Instead, Harvey slowly disappeared into the back of the underground auction house, sending a subtle look towards the man, as if telling him to attack.
“You little brat…”
The man also got up from his seat, following Harvey, and the people around him looked at them strangely.
“The item that appears this time is one that was favored by one of the five stars of the empire!”
With the sound of the auctioneer, interest soon slowly disappeared below the ground.
******************************
“Oh! Welcome!”
As we entered the back of the underground auction house, the manager greeted Harvey and the three-legged crow.
From the manager’s point of view, Harvey, who paid 10,000 gold for a meaningless stone, was a rich guy.
I am sure that if I can somehow persuade him to visit the underground stem store next time, I will be able to somehow extract a large amount of money from him.
Therefore, the manager greeted Harvey by rubbing his palms together.
“What about things?”
“Oh my! It’s here!”
The manager hurriedly orders his subordinates to bring the goods upon hearing Harvey’s words.
Eventually, when the employee safely brought the sunstone, the manager handed it to Harvey.
“That’s right.”
“The reliability of our Arteil auction house is so high that word of it has spread even across the empire! If customers visit the underground auction house in the future, we will provide the best service… “
When Harvey receives the sunstone, the manager immediately praises his auction house.
However, Harvey simply ignored the manager’s words and walked away.
“If something similar comes in next time, please include a message.”
“Oh my! Yes! Yes! I understand! Just trust me!”
High heels and high heels.
The manager bends down to the waist to see Harvey off.
“Oh, and.”
” yes? “
“It seems better to increase the number of escort troops.”
“The security of our auction house is the best in the kingdom! There is absolutely no way it can be breached!”
“You have to go to find out.”
In the future, the Arteil underground auction will collapse due to the organization.
The organization, seeing the potential of the auction house, assassinates the manager and quickly takes control of the auction house.
And the auction house turns into a dark auction house that sells not only accessories and weapons, but also slaves.
“Do your best.”
The tyranny comes to an end when Orphée and his party destroy the underground auction house, but there is no telling how the story will change now that the Sunstone is in their hands.
It was Harvey who gave a simple piece of advice to the manager.
After parting ways with the manager, Harvey went out straight away with the three-legged crow.
The manager was perplexed, but this was all the information he could give.
Jump and jump.
“Honey, I can’t wait to touch the sunstone!”
“…wait a minute.”
” ? “
“The time has come.”
He held out his hands to Harvey asking for the sunstone, but Harvey flatly refused.
They will come in a little while.
“What do you mean?”
“Those guys, they’ll be here soon.”
And as soon as Harvey finished speaking, someone started approaching the group.
A man with a rugged look, a man whose entire body is full of muscle.
Two people approached Harvey and the three-legged crow.
Two men approached with a sneer saying, “hehehehe.”
“It would be better to hand over that stone.”
“You’re here.”
“It would be better to give it when you have kind words to say. We are pretty scary people.”
“What are you going to do, dear?”
“I have to kill you.”
“So quickly.”
The conversation doesn’t flow at all.
The man was trying hard to say something, but the three-legged crow and Harvey were just looking at each other and talking.
“Just die.”
As if he couldn’t stand it anymore, the muscular man walked straight towards Harvey.
The man slowly walked with the intention of killing Harvey in front of him.
“It would be better to organize it here.”
Harvey also raised his spiritual power and prepared for battle.
