THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapter 43. Auctioneers

After the girls took their dresses and left the mansion, Philip and Sam sat in the living room.

"Sam, can I ask you something?" Philip asked him hesitantly for a while.

Sam just looked at her and nodded without answering. Philip took a deep breath and said.

"I want you to teach me something."

"What's that?" Sam was surprised for a moment and asked with a funny smile.

"I want to be an Artisan. I once wanted to try my luck with the head of the Artisan Tower, but you came. What intrigued me, were the various techniques you used. The things you do. And you can create things that go beyond what your cultivation rank allows. I want you to teach me how to be an Artisan." Philip said while letting go of his doubts.

"Why do you want to be an Artisan?" Sam asked as he looked at Philip with a faint smile. He really knew that there would be someone who wanted his technique. But he really did not think that the first person to come after his technique was the first friend he made after rebirth. Although, they were not that close, he really did not have a bad impression of Philip. But one thing that bothered him was that Philip was not as simple as he described, there must be a veil of mystery.

Philip thought deeply and loudly about the question Sam had asked him. He understands that Sam feels something is wrong with him, but he doesn't really care because he told Sam himself by unsealing his cultivation.

"Because, I like to make things." Philip finally found an answer.

"Explain yourself. You want to make something or make something?" ask Sam again.

"What difference?" Philip was left confused. 'Is it not the same in both cases?' He thought inwardly as he asked.

"Although the meanings of the two words are the same, in real life they are different. The difference is also very thin like the wings of a cricket but makes a huge variation between maker and creator. If you want to create something, all you need is to know the answer to the 'how?' question?' for whatever you want to make.

Creation differently. You need to know the answers to more questions than 'how?', you have to know the answer to 'why?' and what?' also." Speaking up to here, Sam looked at the bewildered and brooding Philip. "If you have clarity about what I'm asking for, meet me again and ask? Since I'm your friend, I'll teach you. But there will be a certain price to pay." Then he walked towards his room leaving Philip alone to think things through.

At night. Evergreen Pavilion. The place was filled with people as the guests arrived. In any case, a monthly auction will be held. Sam and his friends were already inside the private room, they were sitting earlier while looking at the guests who filled the auction house. Officers from the Evergreen family greeted everyone as they guided them to their seats. Soon, the auction house was filled and only private rooms had yet to be filled.

All the spectators were waiting for the auction to begin. Immediately, the crowd became in an uproar when they saw who had come to the auction house. The head of the Crimson Fire family could be seen. They were shocked beyond belief. Although the monthly auction was a big event and the other noble families also had to show face to the Evergreen family, but the head of the family would never come to the monthly auction, either, only they will come to the annual auction. But now, the head of the red fire family had come to the auction this time and everyone felt that there was something special in the auction this time around.

The head of the Crimson Fire family was greeted by the Evergreen family head and then walked into the private room reserved for his family. He looked into the private room. Sam had previously sat down and felt confident that the room was occupied.

Soon, when the audience would come out of their shocked state, people from other families arrived. And the situation was the same as the Crimson Fire family and their heads also arrived. Even the city lord and the head of the tower also arrived at the auction. The spectators were completely convinced that there must be some special items in the auction today.

Although, their thinking was correct, they did not know that all great people had various reasons for it. The head of the red fire family came to make up for it, for the past. The head of the family and the other city lords on the other hand thought that the head of the red fire family had sniffed something precious in the auction that he needed to come to the auction personally. So, they did not want to lose the treasure and go here. As for the head of the tower, they only came because they wanted to see what Sam put in the auction.

Soon, the auction begins. Philip's beautiful older sister was still the auctioneer. He enthusiastically started auctioning off items one by one. Final's coming.

“Now the auction has reached the final. This time I will not explain or describe the product. You can see the demonstration yourself.” Eva said with an alluring smile and left the stage.

The head of the red fire family also knew the time had come. Although he initially had no idea what item Sam was going to sell, he pulled out some strings and finally got the answer. The item is final. He immediately became a concern. Although, he was preparing to bid on any item, he still wanted to see, what item Sam had to sell in the auction and it was also worthy of the final.

Everyone, immediately became serious and watched the stage, then a maid witch came onto the stage wearing a red robe. This is the robe Sam wore this afternoon. While demonstrating the product. Then another maid and a Samanera entered the stage and the demonstration took place in the same way that Sam did in the afternoon.

The guests were amazed by the robe. Although, the armor would work, if the opponent was really too strong, he would definitely deal great damage. So, they had to maintain high quality armor which was expensive but obviously also not good and might even look great. But when they saw that beautiful robe, they were completely dazzled by its ability.

Just when they thought that the demonstration had been completed, six people in almost the same clothes entered the stage and this time a mid-level beginner also entered as their opponent. This time the crowd became even more shocked to see. There were only seven Acolytes and the opponent was a Beginner. They can't possibly deal with him. Or so they think.

When the Beginner moves, the seven people also move at the same time. One of them directly attacked the opponent directly, while the other six people surrounded and took a certain position. Suddenly, their robes began to shine and a binding formation appeared, stopping the novice's movements for a split second where he was hit by the punch of the remaining seventh person. They then immediately took a step back and immediately took another battle formation the moment the beginner attacked them. Their robes glowed dimly again and then a barrier appeared to fend off the attack. This was a pure defensive formation. Finally, they took another position and this time their robes shone brighter and the energies of the six people gathered towards the person in the middle as a huge fireball appeared.

The demonstration is over. But the spectators were completely dumbfounded and still in a daze. They understood the first two formations but they did not understand the third attack at all. Even the big guys like the head of the family and the head of the tower, did not understand.

All the heads of the noble families and even the city lords felt extremely shocked. They should get this robe. If they could train this group of Acolytes specifically, they could benefit greatly. Although there seem to be some newbies in town. Everyone knew, that the combat power of the city or even the nobles relied heavily on Acolyte. Anyway, this is a retarded place. So, they were pretty determined to get this.

Eva returned to the stage and a set of seven robes were neatly displayed on the mannequin. Sam made two sets of fire and ice. So, the Evergreen family came to an agreement to get a set for each type. So, the other two sets will be displayed.

As soon as they saw the robe, they just wanted to snatch it. They saw a notebook also on display along with a robe and felt confused. Then Eva went on stage.

"Dear guests, this is a set made by a special guest and comes with a notebook containing instructions on how to use it properly. The initial bid of the set was 50,000 spirit stones. The minimum increment was 5,000 spirit stones. "

As soon as he finished, the audience became agitated and then started bidding.

"50.000"

"55000"

"65000"

"70000"

"85000"

Some wealthy merchants began to bid. Although they were not so rich, if they could pay some money, they could sell it to a higher city and could profit from it and thus they tried their luck.

"100,000" suddenly a voice silenced everyone. The city lord bid the price and the merchants were aware. The noble families still had to bid. Soon, they started to bid.

"125000"

"135.000"

"140000" All the noble families began to compete, but there was still someone who was silent, it was the head of the red fire family. That doesn't mean he's giving up. But he was even more determined because he knew who the seller was and he came specially for it. He's just waiting for time.

"200000" finally an offer came for this and was still the ruler of the city. Everyone became silent. They don't want to pay more than that. Eva looked around and just as she was about to announce. Another offer came.

"250000" this is the head of the red fire family. He raised the bid by 50000 making even the city lord grit his teeth and remain silent. He did not expect there to be competition.

"250000. Once, twice and sold." Eva confirmed the purchase and many people were very disappointed. There were only two people smiling. They are Sam and the head of the Crimson Fire family. One for money and the other to settle grudges.

Just like a silent and gloomy auction house. A set of blue-colored robes came making all the other noble families see hope. They immediately became vigilant and started to bid. This time the head of the Crimson fire family was completely out of the situation and then the price of the robe reached the same 250000 and this time the city lord actually bid because their family had many ice-type Acolytes. The remaining noble families felt angry and they pulled the rope to get the robe set maker. But the Evergreen pavilion gave them the answer, they immediately rejected the idea.

They understood clearly, why the head of the red fire family came and bid so much even to fight against the City lord. He not only pursued the product; he also completed a grudge. They understood it because, they clearly knew about his visit to Sam. They immediately connected the dots and regretted not making the visit themselves to reach an agreement. But it's too late.

Sam grinned widely in his private room. Philip said from the side. "Sam, you're rich. The noble families you sold have been sucked dry and your money can now be equal to half the savings of the noble families. We'll have to extort some profits from you."

"Yes, I heard you gave gifts to those girls. How is that fair? You can't be that heavy. Why don't you give me some presents too?" marvin said from the side.

"Don't involve our dresses in this. Marvin, are you ashamed? You can even be small in that? If you try to use my dress as a lever, I'll hit you. What's more, we paid for it." Freya soon lost her composure. This time even Haley didn't stop him.

"Hmphs. Freya, how can it be so shameless? You can even call that payment. Have you seen the demo before? Ordinary robes can be very tough, though, if it was made by Sam and I heard from Philip that the dress was 10 times more beautiful than the robe and from Sam's character she would make a more powerful trick for them. However, you can shamelessly say that you paid for it just by giving away 10 spirit stones. You better not pay it. Are you really from a noble family?" Marvin immediately replied.

"All right, you better shut up. I'll also give you guys something to sell later. Don't be annoying." Sam said as he watched the situation become uncontrollable as they began to argue. He almost regretted not selling anything to Marvin and the others. He almost judged their EQ by his standards and forgot that unlike him, they were actual teenagers.
