"19,000." Christopher said calmly and everyone was surprised by the development. Both because they were surprised by how bold this newcomer was to enter a bid war with the Elven Queen, and because the two of them were fighting over the seemingly average dagger.
"23,000."
"30,000."
"35,000."
The price kept getting higher and higher until the Queen eye twitched and she said decisively.
"90,000." The price shocked a lot of people.
It wasn't all that expensive. After all they could all procure such an amount with relative ease. Still they didn't expect the Elven Queen to be so fierce. But even then.
"200,000." Christopher said calmly and the place went silent.
Aisha paled and she looked at her mother, however, she simply shook her head and leaned back in her seat, showing no indication of raising the bid any higher.
"Going once! Going Twice! Sold to the Gentleman over there!" Sinestra said with enthusiasm and there was a small round of applause by the crowd.
"Master. Why do you want that dagger so much. It doesn't seem all that impressive." Silver said with confusion
"You guys will see." He said calmly and everyone watched as the dagger was stored and taken off the stage.
In truth, Christopher did not have 200,000 Stellar Coins by any means. But he knew that the amount of money he would gain from his items being sold would be a whole lot. So he wasn't worried about not being able to pay.
Soon, the next item appeared. This time it was a consumable item that was said to be able to raise one's constitution. This drew quite a bit of attention and the bid for it rose very quickly. However, Christopher's interest vanished when he saw it as it wasn't all that impressive to him.
In the end, the Darius Family head Paul managed to buy it at 150,000 Stellar Coins and seemed satisfied with the purchase.
Time passed and more and more exaggerated items appeared. There was a cloak that boasted near perfect stealth, several powerful Artifacts and consumables. And so on.
However nothing had managed to pique Christopher's interest until the 12th item.
'I see, nurturing her is more expensive and uncertain than buying her in general. As such it isn't worth it in the eyes of most. Interest.' However, Christopher smiled behind his mask.
'Well, it doesn't matter. After all, I'm different from everyone in this hall.' As he had that thought, he raised his sign.
Sinestra was about to call a Null Bid when everyone heard a voice.
"100,000 Coins." Everyone turned in surprise to see Christopher's sign raised.
All sorts of questions ran through their minds as they wondered what could possibly be going through his mind. After all, there was no way he didn't know why it wasn't wise to buy such a slave.
Still, Christopher didn't pay attention to these gazes and just did his own thing. No one tried to stop him or try to interfere, including the Vampires.
No one here was dumb. They already had plans of their own. Sure they had a fallout with Christopher and his group, but they weren't dumb enough to forego their plans just to spite him.
So without any incident, Christopher obtained the MirrorSpawn slave.
'That went well.' He thought as the cage was once more covered by the cloth and taken off the stage.
Christopher was confident in his choice for the simple reason being his dimension. It didn't discriminate and enhanced everything that entered inside as long as Christopher had brought that thing in using his own ability.
So it didn't really matter if she was from another realm. He was pretty sure he was stronger than her and when she entered. She would make a great addition to his squad.
Though more than that, the premise of the different Realms had piqued his interest. He knew what they were since he'd spent a lot of time reading within his Dimension, and he didn't only read books that spoke about creating stuff and read on the world as well, and among the things he learned about, the realms were one of them.
The realms existed on another plane. But at the same time overlapped with their world as well. It was strange to think about but it was kinda how there were different wavelengths of light that overlapped with each other.
Each realm had its own unique trait making every realm different. And Christopher planned to traverse these realms when the Auction was over.
He had a new spell in development which would make the journey easier. But besides the Auction there were other things he was still thinking about. Like those guys who had tried to kill him.
Christopher assumed they were the ones that had threatened Titus' life in the carriage and thought they wanted revenge since he had made them fail to steal whatever it was they were carrying. He appeared quite lax towards their advances but the truth was that he was being extremely cautious. That's also why he knew whenever they were around as his senses were always peeled and ready for an attack.
He told himself that he would deal with them when he wasn't busy, and after the Auction seemed like a good time. Though he wasn't sure if he wanted to go to the different realms first before attacking them.
But for now, he would simply sit back and watch the rest of the event. After all, it was time for the more important items to appear. And among them would be the things he had produced.
'It's about time the real show began.' He thought with a smile.
