That person has about 300 chips.
If it was more, it was a lot, if it was less, it was a small amount. Their eyes met each other in the air. It was also seen that the person who had just called 140 chips was also estimating the number of chips that Jain had.
“150!”
Jain immediately shouted. The opponent immediately caught up with 160. Ren looked around with an anxious expression, so Jain placed his hand on Ren’s and sent a signal to be calm. The race was overheated. The auction amount, which soared in an instant, increased to 185 chips. Jain exclaimed loudly for the last time.
“190 chips!”
It ended there. The opponent was knocked out of 190 chips. The number of chips that Jain and Ren had was over 400, even at a glance. Of these, about 250 chips were tied to the need to buy the essence of the demon, but from the opponent’s point of view they had no way of knowing, so they would have thought that they would lose even if they went to the end.
“190 chips are out! Is there anyone out there to bid above?”
The bidder did not appear until the hammer was struck three times. The magic sword and leather slash were put in a fine sheath and handed over to Jain. A merchant dressed in a white festival mask politely handed the sword. He took the slasher out of its sheath and told Jain, who was checking the sharpness of the blade here and there. It was a soft tone.
“The customer got it at a reasonable price. The previous owner only won the bid after investing 320 chips.”
“Well. It doesn’t sound that reasonable, considering that one crazy woman will be chasing you from now on.”
Jain replied bluntly. At those words, the merchant’s face hardened, and he could see through the mask. When he heard the information that the sword spirit Soya was looking for the owner of the leather chopper, the previous owner was terrified and sold the leather chopper. That’s why it was put up for auction. The merchant said something casually.
“It’s the first time I’ve heard of that.”
“How much was the bounty on Soya the sword spirit?”
I couldn’t deny it any longer. The merchant let out a long sigh.
“Did you know everything and buy it in the first place? Are you going to catch her?”
“If you catch it, I will hand it over to your top. So, I wish I could issue a membership card or one at this place.”
“Since it is a membership, it is difficult if the contribution to the denomination does not exceed a certain number… ”
“Then there may be rumors that the top of Obertin sold defective products by cheating.”
was an outsider. The man, at the top of the Demon Realm, where he made a deal with the Church of Crooks, was the constant owner of the top of Obertan. After listening to the words up to that point, Budan-ju changed his complexion and asked for a handshake with a big smile.
“Your negotiation skills are not normal. good. It’s always a pleasure for us to establish a kite with such a noble person.”
“Your noble is filthy.”
Jain led the leather cutting, and received the membership card written by the owner himself and put it in his pocket. Of course, he had no intention of grabbing Soya and passing it over. This membership was also a pass for a slave auction to be held in the next half year. There was an elf that had to be rescued from the slave auction house. It was reserved for that time. Putting the membership card in his pocket, Jain sat arrogantly and shook his head.
“Go.”
Despite his arrogant attitude, the constant man greeted him politely and disappeared. Ren listened to the conversation between the two with surprised eyes, and asked.
“Did you mean something else?”
“ok? Well, yes. Even this sword itself is quite high quality.”
“You mean that swordsman, a woman, right?”
“right.”
“Pretty?”
Zain pondered for a moment. In the original, it appeared as a very beautiful illustration, so I thought it would be pretty in this world as well.
“ok? What, maybe?”
“than me?”
“I am. What kind of joke are you?”
When Jain was unsure, Ren slightly inflated his cheeks. It looked like a couple’s love affair no matter how you look at them, and Marlon, who was sitting next to him, clicked his tongue out loud once again. However, he soon lost his time and sat down. It was because the auction of the item he had been waiting for, the essence of a higher level demon, had finally begun.
“Then, the Auction of the Advanced Asmodian Essence begins! The starting price of the auction will be 50 chips. Anyone have a bid?”
“200 chips!”
Malone raised his hand and immediately shouted loudly. At that amount, the intestines trembled. The last successful bid for the essence of a high-class demon was about 150 chips. However, he had called a high sum of several percent at a time. Malone looked around with bloodshot eyes. Every time those eyes met, people turned their heads. It was best not to intervene in such an auction. Even if they were to win, they could face retaliation.
“200 chips! Do you have any more?”
The auctioneer, who sensed the atmosphere in the hall, began to recite the closing line of the auction as if to end the transaction quickly. He had hit the hammer twice and was about to declare that he had now won the bid.
“248 chips.”
Jain raised his hand lightly and said. It was only one chip higher than Malone’s total fortune. Malone looked at Jain with bloodshot eyes. And growled.
“What are you doing?”
“what.”
“Put your hands down now. Otherwise, I will freeze the limbs and give them to dog food.”
Although it was the most blunt possible, Jain grinned. There was a clear smirk on his lips.
“Have you tried?”
“Two minutes! Fighting inside the auction house is prohibited! So, 248 chips came out!”
The auctioneer cunningly attached the clue ‘in the auction house’. It was said that it would be okay to fight as long as you go out. With that said, Malone calmed his anger and sat down. After a while, the high-level demon essence that won the bid was delivered to Jain in a large crystal bottle.
“This is the end.”
Ren looked at the high-class demon essence contained in the crystal bottle with curious eyes. It had an oval shape slightly larger than the essence of the succubus queen he drank, and had a whitish light.
“By the way, where did you buy this?”
“I want to give you a present.”
“Nana?”
Ren’s eyes widened as if in bewilderment. Zain swung the crystal bottle. Ren whispered in Jain’s ear with a small voice.
“Are you addicted to acting? How do I use this?”
“You have the power to absorb the essence of the demon and transform it into your own magic.”
“What? really?”
Ren’s eyes widened. Jain nodded his head. After the mission was over, I was planning to feed this essence to Ren.
“Interesting.”
“what.”
“No, sometimes I think you know me better than I do.”
Ren said with a playful smile. And, abruptly, he kissed Jain’s cheek. Jain frowned slightly.
“What are you doing?”
“A sign of gratitude. Karin did it too, so I should be fair.”
“I mean, what… ”
“It is forbidden to make a dislike expression. We’re acting right now.”
At Ren’s words, Jain sighed. Marlon, who had lost his essence and was alone, was only grinding his teeth, staring at the scene with blood-stained eyes.
Soon the auction came to an end. No more expensive items with more than 100 chips. It was the procedure of sorting out the junk that was barely registered in the auction. Zain was the monster’s broken horns, and he was watching as his claws were sold. And at some point, he changed his posture and sat down.
“Then, the sheath of this ruined ancient sword! Let’s start with one chip.”
It was a scabbard that had been terribly damaged, and the light had faded to the point where the shape was unrecognizable. But Jain was able to find out what it was through his emotions. It had to be won, even at a cost of billions of dollars. However, there were only two chips left. Everyone looked uninterested, but if Jain tried to win the bid, he didn’t know if he would intervene in the winning bid even for fun.
‘Especially that guy. ‘Cause I’m holding on to 247 chips, so I can’t bring anything back.’
Jain glanced at Malone, and soon began to act calm. And when the auctioneer’s wooden stick rang twice, he relaxedly raised his hand.
“Two chips.”
“Two chips have arrived! Is there anyone out there to bid above?”
Of course he didn’t show up. The sheath was roughly wrapped in a cloth and delivered to Jain. But Jain was smiling inwardly. It was because the identity of this sheath was clearly displayed in Jain’s emotions.
‘Why the hell is this here?’
A broken sheath of Gramhild that was used 400 years ago.
In the original work, it was a very difficult item to obtain, as it was difficult to find one after searching the wreck of the Pirate Falls for three days and three nights.
The difficulty of restoration is very high, but when restored, it is enough to buy all the items on this auction house with this alone.
“This is the biggest harvest.”
If this sheath was completely restored, the owner of Gramhilt could use a unique baldo skill. It is a pedestal technique that deals special additional damage to demons. Ren looked at Jain, who was holding a broken scabbard and smiling with satisfaction.
“Well then, let’s go now.”
Finally with the sheath, the auction was completely closed. Zain grabbed Ren’s hand and slowly walked out of the venue. For someone to follow or catch up with.
*
And the moment I got out of the old town of Rottern with Ren, I could feel the tail following me, as expected.
Malone of the Ice Wall, who changed all his wealth into chips with the intention of escaping from Rotern. It was definitely the guy. This guy, who had lost his sight, was almost ready to attack Zain and Ren and steal the essence of the higher-class demons.
“I see everything.”
Ren muttered as if pathetic. Marlon was a warrior even though he looked like that. The hide-and-seek with that heavy body seemed just a play on the house to the thief Ren.
“Pretend you don’t know.”
Jain said so and moved on to lure Marlon in. The place was a secluded square in the old town where no one would see it.
