145 The greatest show on earth! (4)
It was the first time I had an experience like this. I’m not even an invisible person.
“Miraculous.”
I murmured.
I was walking alone in the downtown area, but no one was paying close attention to me.
It was thanks to the ear cuff that erased the presence for 15 minutes.

Occasionally, there was a passerby who made eye contact, but they only greeted and passed by.
He didn’t stumble or fall to the ground.
Until now, Benjamin and Canael were always by my side, and I had never gone anywhere without a carriage.
Going around like this somehow felt like I had returned to the body of ‘Jesse Jung’.
– Beep beep!
“Yes, thank you.”
From the sky a wren signaled. I cautiously headed towards the back door of the upper building.
Actually, it wasn’t hard to find.
The road was full of traces of the freight wagon in question spilling water along the way.
“hello.”
“It’s a lot of work.”
When I greeted the upper-level staff, the other party was also rude.
He and his colleagues quickly forgot me and passed by quietly.
I glanced at the back door, which looked more modest than the front door. There was no time.
He quickly opened the door and ran inside, then hid the bravery flying in his arms.
“It’s real from here. Let’s find it quickly, Shinsoo.”
-beep

In an instant, they entered the darkened stage below.
It was here after diligently running along the supply country.
In fact, I didn’t even know it was a location close to the stage, but I noticed it after listening to the staff talking back and forth.
Seeing that it was delivered in time for the start of the auction, it seemed that it would be unveiled as the first product.
There was no such content in the catalog…
After activating the ear cuff, 12 and 13 minutes seemed to have passed.
I stared anxiously at the tank of cubes.
It was covered with a dark cloth so that the inside was not visible.
“Creatures are timid!”
“You are lucky to be the boss. I guess the Crown Prince’s safety has revealed a rare magical beast. You look fine in the water.”
“You must be lucky to catch Miriam. You didn’t even get attacked this time, didn’t you?”
“Blessings! You almost lost an arm when you folded.”
I hid behind a thick wooden post to organize the conversations of the staff.
A person named Miriam seemed to have captured a precious beast before and handed it over to the top.
It was said that they were lucky to have been captured without being injured, and they seemed unaware that the mysterious creature was a divine beast.
In fact, even Cardinal Bootier said that it was the first time the Red Panda Three Musketeers had actually seen Shinsoo.
Even the mountain keeper Agnes misunderstood them as demons.
Unless the Shinsu showed his abilities, it was highly unlikely that ordinary people would recognize it first.
“When the deployment is over, let’s go.”
“okay. Do you want the Crown Prince to win the bid?”
“How come today is more fun than the opening day?”
The workers smiled and disappeared from the side door. I swallowed dry saliva.
“·················ogue.”
Perseverance was strangely very quiet. By now, the ear cuffs must have been in effect.
After repeatedly making sure that no one was around, I quickly approached the tank.
Then he carefully rolled up the cloth. His tense fingertips trembled finely.
What if a mermaid appears? Talking to people, just.
“uh······.”
Soon, black eyes and a white body greeted me.
I forgot what to say and made eye contact with the stupid little boy. My mind went blank.
His short beard fluttered in the waves.
A nose that looks like chestnuts, a plump, streamlined belly, and cute fins.
“No, in some fantasy novel….”
Even harp seals come out? is this still sold?
– beep
I woke up to the call of perseverance. This was not the time to stumble in shock.
When I closed my eyes tightly and opened it again, I saw an iron ring attached to the guy’s neck.
I thought it was a magical beast and caught it, so it must have been a mana constraint.
It must have been to prevent them from making a fuss in front of the guests.
“hi······. Hey, would you like something to eat?”
I spit out the first words that came to mind.
The harp seal looked very impatient, apart from showing my curiosity.
It could have been that they had been forcibly captured, or it could have been frustrating being confined in a narrow tank.
In any case, the divine beast was an existence that took the ether as its food.
And providing ether was my specialty. I think it would be around 111100 as my main number.
“Hyung is an ether restaurant.”
– Paaah!
A small sanctuary containing only the water tank was opened. The harp seal blinked its large eyes.
The water glistened with gold.
In order not to frighten him or pretend to be, I slowly released the ether.
I wish I could give you strength.
– Visit!
Then the little boy came up to the surface and struck his tail. Subsequently,
“I eat well.”
Naturally, laughter erupted.
It was pleasant to see the ether flowing out of the body. I was happy to confirm that Shinsu was right.
It was necessary to increase the supply rate several times because of how much a child less than 1m ate.
The courageous man poked his face out of his jacket and chimed in. It looked happy.
“Yeah, you and Demi did a great job. I must have been hungry.”
I complimented him by rubbing his forehead with my finger. at that time,
– Bump!
“If you’re not here, go to the break room, Heo Eok!”
I was sober, I looked towards the door. He was one of the workers who went out with his colleagues a while ago.
When she saw me, she fell to the floor in shock. His broad back trembled.
“Wow, Prince, how could the Marquis be in such a place like this…”
It was not an unexpected development. Immediately expanded the sanctuary.
– Whoa!
“Ouch!”
The woman was stunned to see the circle wrapped around her feet.
I smiled bitterly and lowered the oracle.
[Sorry to startle you. Notify your top shareholder. The Beast brought in is not a Beast Beast, it’s a New Beast, and it shouldn’t be put up for auction.]

Emil de Ases was a man who knew no tension.
To be precise, even tension sublimated into confidence, and with this attitude, he was good at selling the best products at the highest prices.
At a young age, I was also praised for being excellent at improvisation.
I have seen the great aristocrats called the inner circle of the ecliptic since childhood.
He was not shaken for a while, and he was going to be strong in the future.
So it was the same today.
The upper lobby was overgrown with sparkling nobles and numerous attendants.
It was a place where expectations and interest just before the event were born.
“I see you, Your Majesty the Crown Prince.”
Emile gave an elegant example. The imperial family was the first.
Compared to the imperial palace where he lived, the upper part was shabby, but the upper part was never broken.
The rare beast that came into the ship at dawn had no flaws and was a superb product even when it was young.
It must have been the first time for even the crown prince to be called ‘the greatest heir of the empire’.
If he even wins the bid, it was clear that the price of Asth’s name would rise beyond comparison with the current one.
A remorseful smile came to mind.
“·················ogue.”
As rumored, the prince did not even respond to the words of his subordinates.
His attendants didn’t even look at Emil.
Emil maintained a smile and guided the prince into the auction house.
There was not a single particle of dust on the high-quality carpet that was prepared in haste when the news of the imperial family was coming.
Everything seemed perfect.
“I will take you to the center of the first row.”

Obviously it was. Until the auctioneer grabs his sleeve.
“Lord, this is urgent.”
“What is this doing?”
Emil whispered reproachfully. She was nothing more than interrupting the procession of the prince now.
Besides, the clothes he was wearing were old, and the smell of the sea vibrated from his body because he was in charge of the ‘surprise product’.
The subordinate did not back down despite the sharp eyes of the upper-level attention.
Rather, he hurriedly put his hand to his ear.
“The Marquis Serenite is below the stage. You said that the surprise prize is a divine beast, not a magical beast. You have been told to buy auction items. I heard clearly with both ears.”
She whispered quickly and low, just in case something was wrong.
Don’t forget to put power in the last sentence.
Emil looked into the prince’s eyes without changing his expression.
Behind them were the people of the Duke of Sarnez.
Christel, who felt the gaze, smiled beautifully.
“… any evidence?”
“Yes?”
“Isn’t there evidence that it’s a divine beast? You didn’t just believe what he said and come up with it, did you?”
Emile smirked at her and whispered. Then the subordinate was greatly perplexed.
“There was no such thing. But isn’t he a royal priest? You have to believe it unconditionally.”
“When are you talking about enemies? It’s pathetic.”
He shot softly. Somehow, I thought the Marquis didn’t appear.
From the looks of it, it looked like the gears from the top to the bottom were trying to harm him.
As a commoner, I was terrified of losing Kristel, and that the prince’s interest was likely to be lost sooner or later.
The reason why he pretended to focus only on food and showed a strict attitude toward his sister’s sins became clear.
That was then.
“I heard that he raises a rare magical beast.”
The father’s low voice interrupted his thoughts. Emile gestured towards his seat with a friendly face.
“Yes. I hope it will be a joy to you.”
The imperial family gave him a glimpse and sat down silently. The duke’s family then sat down.
Emile politely kissed the back of Kristel’s hand, then stood up and shouted to his subordinate.
“Let’s put the product on stage as it is.”
“Yes? Upper lord,”
“It will be a great spectacle.”
He raised the corners of his lips dazzlingly.
The prince of an enemy country has deceived many people by getting sympathy votes, but he was not as good as himself.
Today was the opportunity to show his cheap and light side to the world.
Emil turned to look at Kristel waving her hand with a recalled cheek.
. . . and Kristel glared at him from behind.
Then, he wiped the back of his hand on his pants and asked the prince next to him.
“What do you think?”
“·················ogue.”
“I heard from Sir Elizabeth. The Marquis said that he was a god. Then you just have to let the auction go down,”

Oh my gosh. Kristel stopped talking and widened her eyes.
The real fire fox was also different.
“Did you dig a trap?”
“It’s a simple strategy.”
“Isn’t that a royal battle?”
“It would have been a wonder to have insisted that the honor be tainted.”
Cedric replied indifferently. Kristel smiled and nodded her head.
The prince really liked to feed others.
If you feed me soybean rice while swearing at Sang Sang-ju, I’m sure they’ll be happy.

“Why is no one coming? Are you Hamheung Chasa?”
– Beep?
– Chambangbangbang!
Courageousness and I tilted our heads at the same time.
The harp seal, which had been drenched in ether, seemed to be in a good mood, backstroke and splashing with its tail.
It seemed cramped, so I removed the cloth covering the tank, and the eyes looking at me became even brighter.
he’s cute too
“Shinsoo has to be cute, right? Maybe it’s a water attribute?”
I talked to myself.
It is certain that he is a divine beast, so I had to let someone with divine power lead him to the divine.
But out of the four gods of the Empire, we had as many as three.
Two of them have a master or are absorbed, so it is difficult to detect, and then only perseverance remains…
– Kurreung!
At that moment, the ground shook. huh?
“Why is this, billions!”
-Rulleung…!
I quickly grabbed hold of the tank and sat down. The place vibrated softly.
A whole flat wooden floor was rising up. Courage pierced his collar.
It’s definitely not an earthquake.
“The greatest show on earth! Welcome to Arthur’s Auction House’s Holy Week. Let me introduce you to the first auction.”
I heard a familiar cavernous voice. Applause poured out from the audience.
The ceiling ripped apart from side to side, and colorful magic lights enveloped me.
A rope was wound somewhere, and there was the sound of levers and wheels moving.
It was an unbelievable situation. The surprised harp seal fell asleep.
At that time, I hadtily picked up the cloth, but it seemed too late to cover him again.
“it’s okay. I’ll be with you. Calm,”
– Aww!
The terrified kid poured water on me. It was cold and I was blown away.
I was drenched in sea water from head to toe!
“Sigh.”
– Clap!
The pulley stopped. I wiped the salt water around my eyes and looked straight ahead.
Unlike the bright white stage, the auditorium was dark and nothing could be seen.
Damn, what is this!
“It is a rare beast that survives underwater. I caught it at dawn this morning on the coast of Ashu. They are healthy pups, and their white hides are great. The person next to you is… Are you a trainer? It doesn’t look good from this side.”
Emile said scornfully. A roar spread throughout the hall. I hurriedly looked for the top share.
Standing on the other side of the stage, his eyes were sour and astringent like lemons. My teeth were ripped apart.
“It starts at 500,000 francs.”
“stop. This guy is not a beast,”
“Two billion.”
what······? I blinked, wondering if I heard it wrong.
The room became cold as if they had gotten into ice water as a group.
“Do it in a lump sum.”
I opened my mouth and looked to where the voice came from.
The orange eyes that were probably insane were piercing through the darkness.
