The Darkness System

Chapters. 31 Auctions

There were a lot of people sitting on the first floor. As for the second floor, there were only a few people

"Bakin' it all. First I thank you for coming to the star auction tonight…"

"Include my name Tora, I'll be driving the auction tonight"

"For the opening item here there are 4 green-level stamina pills, these are made master alchemists from the western city of the kingdom of Celsia.." Tora said as she put aside her hand pointing at the red box that the beautiful woman was carrying.

"The starting price is 25 Gold, for an interested master master to be able to raise his hand"

"26 Gold.." A man raised his hand.

"27…"

"28…"

"29…"

Many were bidding just for the green level stamina pill, this left Rei confused

"System, why are those pills so many ?"

[In this world there are some people who are highly respected by others.].

[It was an alchemist master, an array master and a forging master. They were very rare, so they were highly respected and of course the works from them were sold at a great price]

Rei just heard the system explain

"29 one…! 29 two…! 29 three…!!"

"Congratulations to the master over there getting these 4 stamina pills !"

"Next the second item, here is the red wind-level magic-element manual. The starting price was 50 gold !!"

"52…!"

"55…!"

…

This was even more horrendous than the first, finally it was obtained by a woman at the price of 65 gold

The auction resumed, but none of it caught Rei's attention. For him he can buy it in the system at a cheaper price

"Next is a stone sword. Our star auction party has already confirmed, this is not an artifact at all this is just a sword-shaped stone…"

"But this is still good to be used as a decoration at home. The initial price was 50 silver !"

"Huh !? Don't waste any more time, just go on to the next better one…!" One from the second floor spoke out loudly

"Isn't that a person from the Vins family ? True as well as he said, this was just a waste of time for the stone"

"I don't want to spend my money on useless things"

Hearing a lot of bad words from the guests who came, Tora did not want to waste any more time

He doesn't want to add to the fuss

"I thought this stuff wouldn't sell…! This part is just an old piece from the warehouse" Tora smiled and muttered inwardly

[Master, that stone sword is not arbitrary. By unsealing it, the sword would become a purple-level weapon]

"Seals ? how do I unseal it ?"

[Master could pay to the system to unseal, it cost 3,000 points]

"Alright we will continue to the next" continued Tora while instructing the woman who brought him to go back

"5…! I'll buy that stone for five gold !" Rei spoke for the first time

"…"

Tora and the other guests were silent for a moment and looked at where Rei was, as well as the woman carrying the stone

"Is he crazy ? Spending 5 gold for a piece of stone ?"

"Who's up there ?"

People started talking about Rei

"God…!!! There is one idiot here ! It's my lucky day !!" The Tora Guman who looked very excited

"Ehm... Ehm... Are you serious about what you said ?"

"Of course, is 5 gold too little ?"

"Who…! No-no. Then this stone belongs to you, sir !" Tora immediately agreed, she was afraid that Rei would change his mind

Then the auction continued until the moment the items that Rei auctioned were issued

"This is a special item at the auction tonight.A plate and glass glass of the highest quality ever found…"

The glitter of glasses and plates was never seen before

"Look at the carvings, maybe some of the masters present already understand this carving is not a carving that can be done by ordinary people"

Everyone was amazed by the rows of glasses and plates, their eyes shining looking at the glass

"It won't take much longer, we opened it starting from the price of 300 gold for one glass and 310 gold for one plate !"

"This is a precious discovery, what a pity, but this fight is not something I can follow" said the woman on the first floor

So did the others, they realized this item was not intended for them. This is only for the nobility on the second floor

"320…"

"340…"

"390…! I'll buy it with 390 gold" Someone on the second floor spoke out loudly

"Finally, the first-class families in this city are interested in this luxury item !!" Tora muttered that looked with a big smile

…

The commotion lasted for an hour, Rei earned 2,500 Gold more than his glasses and glass plates

"Why are these people so obsessed with such an ordinary item…"

"But it doesn't matter as long as I can get rich…!!" Muttered Rei whose eyes shone with light

"Now we're at the end of the show…"

"The last item and the closing of the auction tonight.This is it !"

2 Men brought in a big cage with red curtains, everyone was very confused

What is that stuff ? Is it a valuable item ? And there were still many other questions that came out of people, including Rei

"System, what stuff is in that cage ?"

[The cage contains a master human, probably they were sold as slaves]

"…!!"

"It's not just a mixed race made into slaves ?"

[Right, but this is not impossible. Usually their own parents sell them for the sake of earning some money]

They were not surprised because they were upset, but they thought the same thing that 'Good' slaves were'

The woman with only a thin cloth covering her, kept her head down

"Well listen to me sir. I will briefly explain this woman"

"First, she was a woman that her own parents sold, so this was a legal item"

"Second, he's only in his 20s"

"The last one.. He is still holy…!"

"The price starts at 150 gold !"

The storm sounded so loud at the auction tonight, everyone wanted to have this beautiful woman

"200…!"

"250…"

270…"

…

"1.000…!!"

Everyone was on him, he was the number two Vanstroong family in Zelda city after the Robetto family

"Do you guys still dare to compete with me !!?" He said very loudly

Everyone was silent, they couldn't possibly go against the Vanstroong family. If they were desperate to compete with that family, then his family would be destroyed instantly

"Why is my life like this ?"

"What is my sin until the gods punish me with the Vanstroong family ?"

"My family was so crazy about money that they sold my brother and me…"

"Can anyone help me ? Ah... It seems impossible, no one can go against the Vanstroong family" The woman continued to cry as she muttered inwardly

"1.500…"

"…"

Everyone was shocked, including the woman who had been crying. Which madman dares to deal with the Vanstroong family ?

All eyes were on the room on the second floor

"Again that man... Does he not know the Vanstroong family ?"

"Wasn't that person there also picked up the stone ?"

The person from the Vanstroong family was furious that someone dared to go against him

"Who are you…!!! Have you dared to go against the Vanstroong family ?"

"The Vanstroong family ? Are they great ?" Rei answered him with a faint smile

Feeling humiliated, the person again uttered a word to Rei

"How dare you talk to me like that !!? Stop playing with me or you'll die !!"

Rei answered him casually

"Then raise the price. Isn't your family great ?"

He really did not accept being played by Rei

"1.700"

"1,900" Rei continued to raise the price

"2,000" The person from the Vanstroong family was furious with Rei

"3.000…"

People from the Vanstroong family fell silent, however it was not good that 3,000 gold coins were spent only for a slave

Tora was actually reluctant to do the calculations now, but since no one else raised the price she was forced to do the count

"3,000 One…"

"3.000 Two…!"

"3.000 Three…!"

"Congratulations to you for getting this woman !"

"You... Do you know who he is ?" Asked the man from the Vanstroong family to his bodyguards

"I'm sorry my master doesn't know, his face is covered with that robe"

"Then get the hell out of here, get some of you to kill the boy and get the girl for me"

"Okay sir" The bodyguard immediately walked out of the auction house

The show finished, Rei headed backstage to pick up his belongings

"Ah.. It turns out sir" Tora was surprised to see Rei.

"This is the master's item, the master must pay 3,000 and also 5 gold for these two items"

"Master also managed to obtain 2,500 of the items that you sold"

"Just cut the money from my sale to pay for it, and this is for the extras" Rei threw some gold at Tora

"The money is too much" said Tora

"Take the change." Rei took the sword stone and put it into the storage ring and walked towards the woman.

"Thank you, sir…!! Then you can give a slave bond for free to this item." Tora said happily.

Rei didn't care about it, he extended his hand to the woman

"Why ? Does God still give me time to live ?" He muttered while shedding tears

"Let's get out of here" Rei smiled warmly.

The woman welcomed Rei's hand

"Yes sir…"

"Although I will die, at least I die not in the hands of the Vanstroong family" he murmured

"So how lord.I will give you free to put up this forbidden bond of slaves…"

Rei suddenly stared inside Tora

"No, I don't want her pretty body ruined by something dirty "

"Well, then be careful in your way" sir"

"I don't expect him to let me go, it's been so good for me, too." muttered the woman.

Rei and the woman came out of the auction house
