Death… And Me Chapter 2958 Interesting Item

2958  Interesting Item

As the twins watched from above with the many other partic.i.p.ants, the auction's host came up to the stage to announce the start of the event. "Hey, it's Senior Fubel!"

"The one from the Werldem Empire Inquisitors?"

"The one and the same!"

" To think the auction house would convince him to host..."

"They must have paid quite a sum."

"Well, the Royal Capital's Auction House has never been the type to save money. And with Senior Fubei hosting it, many will be even more a.s.sured of the event's fairness."

"Indeed, the auction house would never dare to go against the auction's rule with him here."

Fubei heard all the conversation and smiled at the crowd. "Welcome, everyone! Many of you probably already know who I am. But for those who don't, I'm Fubei, one of the Werdlem Empire inquisitors. I just so happened to be pa.s.sing by when the auction house invited me to this event."

Rean and Roan looked at each other. They had checked their CDs before. The Werdlem Empire Inquisitor is usually the one responsible for making sure the laws of the Empire are being followed. For example, the contest of who will take over the country every 1000 years is carried by them. They are soul-bound to the Empire's laws, so it is guaranteed that everything they do is within the Empire's interest. However, in exchange for being soul-bound to the Empire, they enjoy many benefits. For example, Fubei's allocated resources for his own cultivation are no less than the Queen herself. Besides, the Queen has to be respectful to him and not the other way around. Inquisitors are above everyone except the Planet's Lord, who is also a direct member of the Werdlem Empire.

"I've personally checked all the formations and items of the auction as well as the rules it abides by," Fubei continued. "I can guarantee everything is within the reported conditions reported by the auction house to the entire country. Remember, today's auction only accepts Spiritual Stones, so refrain from intervening in case you can't pay for it. Now, I know you didn't come here to hear me talk, so let's get it started. Please bring the first item."

One of the Auction's Workers went up the stage and left the item for Fubei to introduce, which was covered. Fubei quickly pulled out the cover, revealing the item. Sparks of Lightning came out, and a rich Concentration of Lightning Elements filled the surroundings. "This is a Yal Hawk Thunder Bead. It is nurtured by the Yal Hawks of the Comertias Mountain over fifty years until it gains these properties."

He continued. "Of course, if it was only that, it wouldn't be worth being in this auction. This bead here, however, was nurtured for over 500 years! You all can imagine how hard it is to happen since one would expect the bead to have been taken way earlier. The methods don't matter, though, only the result. This is a great item for those who cultivate Lightning Element Abilities and have Lightning Element Affinity. The bids will start with 320 Rank Four Spiritual Stones."

"320!" Instantly, a cultivator got up from his seat and spoke.

"350!" Another one quickly followed.

"Hmph! 400!" Too bad there was no lack of Lightning Affinity Cultivators in this auction house.

The bids continued to go up until they stopped at 510. "Are there no more bids? Going once, going twice, sold to the gentleman in the back. You can get up now and acquire your item with the auction house or wait until the end of the event to take it. The bead is already yours, so I recommend staying to watch the rest of the show."

Another worker from the auction house then came on the stage and took the item before sending it back. As for its new owner, he didn't seem to be interested in the rest of the auction, so he quickly got up and went to the back as well.

Fubei didn't mind that and called the next item. When the cover came up, it revealed a bow that emitted a feeble wood element energy. "Next, we have a Trark Wood Bow from the Forest Life Sect in the east. It is especially good for Wood Element affinity cultivators, even though they are rare. Well, there should be a few of you here anyway. The initial bid is 250 Rank Four Spirit Stones. The bids must be at least 10 stones apart from each other."

Seeing the bow, Rean couldn't help but ask. "Why have we never used bows before?"

Roan shrugged. "It is not that I can't teach you how to use it, but that bows truly don't make my style. Of course, if you want to try, go ahead and buy it. I think it would be a waste of time, though."

Rean pondered a bit and gave up. "Forget it. If I ever decide to try, I'll make a boy myself. It will be much better than that thing."

In the end, the bow was sold for 430 Rank Four Spiritual Stones. What surprised Rean was the number of Wood Element Affinity experts who bid for the bow. Any Elemental Affinity out of the main five is extremely rare back in Lisan. Here, however, it isn't as common as the normal affinities, but it isn't anything that rare either. Rean saw five bidding for the bow, and there were probably more who simply didn't care about it.

One item after another continued to be auctioned. Finally, the rarity of the items increased to the point that Rank Four Spirit Stones weren't accepted anymore, only Rank Five. Rean and Roan had no interest in any of the items, though. Pills, Equipment, Devices, Treasures, etc, they were very good for the context of a Mortal Planet, but of no use for the twins.

However, that didn't last long.

"Hum?" Suddenly, Rean and Roan's perception caught something as soon as the new item was brought up to the stage. Finally, Fubei removed the cover, allowing the twins to take a good look. "Here we have a Special Ore. We aren't sure about its properties, but it was found in the Dark Ruins of the Rodtel Country. Since that's the case, even its owner isn't very sure about how much to sell it for. The auction's appraisers weren't able to identify it either. That said, the initial bid will be only 50 Rank Five Spiritual Stones."

Rean and Roan looked at that. Even though it didn't seem to have much power left, they were pretty sure about its origin. "Isn't that a Universe Foundation Fragment?"

And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
