Chapter 236: King Under The Mountain
Chapter 236: King Under The Mountain
Inside the main Auction theater, several figures of high standing began to take their seats dialing down the festive atmosphere of seeing old friends once again.
"Hm?" As two figures walked down the steps seemingly looking for their designated seats, one stop aburbtly and stared intently at an old man with wrinkly skin and a silly look on his face.
Noticing the gaze, the wrinkly faced old man turned to the man and smiled kindly as if wondering what the man wanted.
"Hmmm, I must have been mistaken" the man shook his head and turned around, "Hey big guy, where did you go?"
He noticed his companion wasn’t in sight so he called out with no regard for the other individuals present.
"Here" from inside the crowd, his companions raised his hand indicating that their seats were there. So the man rushed over and took his seat next to him down below.
"Hehe, you really have some pull to get us such nice seats huh big guy?" The man said to his companion with a relaxed look on his face. They were much closer to the stage than half of those present. It denoted a form affluence.
"Don’t call me that, my title is Divine kang" his companion complained revealing that he was indeed Divine kang.
"Divine my ass," the man scuffed..kang didn’t know what was good for him. Calling himself Divine would someday put him in alot of trouble with some powerful beings.
However, that had nothing to do with him right now.
He then turned to where the wrinkly old man was seated and shook his head once more.
(It’s not the same feeling, definitely not)
The man shook his head. Right now, he felt a familiar presence emitting from the wrinkly old man seated at the back, so he was wondering if it was who he thought it was.
Unfortunately, the feeling was subtle and quickly disappeared making him think it was a figment of his imagination.
"Shut up Bran, it’s about to begin" Divine Kang said to the man before Turing back to the stage.
Meanwhile,
(Very effective.....I wonder)
The wrinkly old man at the back smirked evily while looking at Brans back. Clearly he had some malicious intent.
This was easier said than done tho.
"10,000 phase 1 blood gems"
"12,000 phase 1 blood gems"
"12,500 phase 1 blood gems"
Whoever placed this in the auction, intended to do harm to the water clans...or at least extort them a little bit. The politics behind it was complicated, it might even be another water affinity clan trying to swindle the rest.
This was their burden though, the sacred lands were unforgiving.
After a bit of haggling
"Sold at 25,000 phase 1 blood gems"
This was BloodRock city, everything was done with blood gems and the celestial merchant group made sure of that.
"Now, going to our next item" the king under the mountain smirked. No one knew this, but he was the one who put the drought liner there to mess with the water clans.
He just wanted to piss a few old monsters off. What could they do? Chase him off the stage? Impossible, he already had a contract with the celestial merchant group.
"Uhhhh what is this?"
"Oh yeah liner bow"
They continued bidding item after item each of varying quality and importance in about 30 minutes of the auction items worth 6 million phase 1 blood gems had been sold.
This auction was supposed to go on for the who night.
"This one.....no description, if you know of its value then bid on it....starring price is 250,000 phase 1 blood gems"
After a while, the king under the mountain pulled out a black metal dagger emitting a strange hue and presented it before the crowd.
The person that had placed it up for auction didn’t seen to care about whether or not it got sold, he just wanted to see if he could get rid of it and make some money....but if that wasn’t the case then it was not a problem to him.
"That’s soul energy" At the back of the auction, a wrinkly old man squinted his brows in contemplation before slowly raising his left hand.
