Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 680 Auction of Victor Waid

[OP: ]

[ “Hello? Hello? Can everyone hear us? Hello?” ]

There were many underground auctions that happened in the capital city of the Lakmer and many of them were backed by the government secretly.

They were secret auctions that not just anyone could participate in since the products that were sold in these auctions were all so unique ones that not just any person had the authority to participate in this auction.

Many things had to be checked before they got an invitation to one of these places however, the biggest auction that was held all three days during the annual alchemy competition was unique among all of these auctions.

Anyone who could decipher the information or hand connections could attend all three days of these auctions and there were all kinds of items appearing in this auction.

[ “Alright, looks like everything is ready. Then… welcome everyone on the first day of the annual dark gold auction! We will begin without any further delay after a five-minute preparation time! Everyone present in their booths can know about the processes of the auction and the basic details of the special item present in the middle of the rooms resembling a crystal record player.

We will begin with the first item so be ready everyone~!” ]

“Haaa. I don’t like these boring places and they are just cheap bastards that don’t have any good items. Is this place any different, Elle~?”

The four of them had made it to their booth which was a little more luxurious than the other regular booths and, there were all kinds of snacks and equipment for their ease in here.

In the center, there was a large couch with a white wall-like screen present before them, and, all the items and their information would be visible on this screen.

Others couldn’t see the actual item until and unless they bought it themselves, however, since this was pretty much gambling and the ones that participated in this specific auction were not normal people, every year, the average purchase price of every item in this auction house was at least more than a few hundred golds.

They sold all kinds of things, from rare materials to rare beasts, and even rare ‘beings’ as slaves, artifacts that were made by grandmasters, and materials that could be used in the creation of great artifacts of high levels. .𝒎

This place did not have any restrictions on what they sold since they had the powerful backing of the government themselves, so, as long as something had value, they sold it in this place.

And sometimes, the things they sold were so questionable one could not fathom just how the hell they would have even got those things.

“It is different from Hiraani, Del. The thing is, we can say the things that they sell in the Hiranni are mostly legal and backed by an openly acknowledged powerful authority.

People trust their items and many things happen on this base of trust, and they make them sign the agreements that the things that are being sold by them would not be used in any way that would harm the other people or the nature beyond set boundaries.

The normal folks could know of the dealings that are happening there however, this place… what do they call it, darling?” She looked at Eon with a lovely questioning gaze when he was going through the information they had provided about the auction.

“Auction of Victor Waid, the person that allegedly started this annual auction. People say he is a wizard, is old and is still alive, and attends the auction every year. They say he is one of the richest people in the world. Well, I say there would be a thick book’s worth of data on his criminal records if one really tried digging deeper into his business. But, he has a solid backing, or at least that is what is believed by most of them.”

He answered her question without even looking back at them and continued going through the stuff that he was reading.

He was fascinated by how this place worked and he certainly found it interesting.

“Yes! Victor Waid~! You know Del, I have been hearing about this guy ever since I was active on the battlefields~! They used to talk about how he was a commoner who became the leader of some small underground syndicate. But after tasting a fraction of power, he went on his own quest to create a vast criminal empire.

They say he is a master at disappearing from one place to the other and they say he had even escaped from the (Trigon tower) at one point after being captured as one of his fake identities.

Hehe, I would love to meet that guy if I can~. He sounds a lot more fun person than most of the boring oldies that we meet every day~!”

She had stars in her eyes as she told all that their vice president Cradel, and, she loved it.

She loved her as well, however, the way Rein told her all that made their vice president take her to a private space right this instant and bite down every last bit of her prettiness until she was begging for more.

Her throat was already dry and her lips were as well, the three of them could see how desperately she was trying to control herself.

However, even after knowing her feelings, Rein continued being casual with her in an attempt to make it clear that she only wanted him, and no one else.

Vice president knew the two of them did it again when there was no one present here, she had sharp intuition so she could tell from the little clues present all around them, and that made things even more painful for her.

She liked someone genuinely for the first time… but she could never have that person as what she wanted.

She was trying to not cross the line, her head was blown away the last time she did it and the pain she had felt that day, was certainly not something she liked. Not one bit.

She wasn’t strong enough to forcefully take her away, and, Rein had made it clear that she did not want that either.

She was happy as things were, and, the only place their vice president could have in all of this, was being a good friend of Rein’s. Going beyond that…

[ “Alright folks~! We are going to start the auction now~! Be prepared, the hosts have prepared a special item as the opening one of this fine night~! Keep your cash ready~!” ]

The announcer announced the start of the auction and Eon had finished reading everything so he sat back on the long red couch before the giant screen with the image of the announcer wearing a funny mask, and a royal blue curtain hanging right behind him.

It was an attractive setup, he admired the aesthetic of the place as well, so, he could tell the organizers of this auction were not some normal people. Each one of them must be just as unique as the mysterious Victor Waid.

“Alright, alright everyone~. Let’s enjoy the auction for now~.”

The only curry accepted in this place was cash, the special global currencies that the buyer had on hand, and resources of a fixed value.

They didn’t accept checks or the digital money of a certain region like the Wisdom coins of the island of magic’s wealth.

The word ‘cash’ in this place meant the ‘money’ that the buyer possessed at this moment. That was the cash, and that was the only way to pay for the things you buy here.

And, payments happen before one gets their hand on the item through the special portal present in the middle of the room before their couches.

There wasn’t any bidding stick or anything similar with a unique number for each customer, but, each chamber was a number itself.

The four of them were one entity when bidding, so, they had to avoid fighting for the same item.

There will be instances they would come to like some items that more than one of them would want sincerely, just like this first item… and, they had to be careful of how they decide the one that will take the item, if they win that is.

[ “So everyone~! Please get ready and feast your eyes upon this magnificent creature~!” ]

The first item came from behind the curtains… a cage with a small creature trapped inside of it.

It was easy to distinguish that this creature was something like a bat however, this creature was purely white instead of being the usual dark colors of bats.

Those who did not know of this beast were lost in the bright red eyes of the creature, however, those who did know what this being was, were astonished to see a rare kind like this one in a place such as this.

“That’s a [Ruby Vampire bat], isn’t it? How the hell something like that is here?!”

“I will be taking that little-”

“Like hell, you are taking it, you bastard! Who do you think are?! What would you do with a creature like that anyway?! You’re not even half of a vampire!”

“Does it matter? I will have it.”

“No!”

They were going to have to talk things out and decide on who was going to have that being quick if they wanted it.

The auction here doesn’t stop for anyone, as they knew it.

There were people who wanted this being as much as they did, so, if they really wanted to have it…

They will have to spend a lot of what they currently possess, and, win against the ones that were the same as them.

This was a battlefield, and, the enemies weren’t going to stop for their internal quarrels.

If they can’t figure out who the things will belong to…

They won’t be able to have them.

They could only have six items tonight anyway, so, they will also have to be veryyyy careful of what they get.
