"So so! Since you have said that, I won't ask you again, but if you want to buy a Soulbound Weapon, I'm afraid you can't! Even though I have it now, I can't sell it to you! Elmer said slowly.
"Why not?" david asked with a frown.
“Because even the lowest level Soulbound Weapon is a treasure. Over 80% of the Eternals in Star Kingdom did not possess a Soulbound Weapon and many of them would not possess it throughout their lives. Such treasures can only be found at auction. They will not only sell at a higher price, but will also increase the reputation of the company. If you want to buy Soulbound Weapon, you can only go to the auction.”
“There shouldn't be Soulbound Weapons in public auctions, right?”
"of course! Treasures of the same level as Soulbound Weapons would only appear at auctions held by large trading companies. However, it is not absolute. Several small trading companies will jointly hold auctions to attract attention, and there may also be Soulbound Weapons on sale there.”
“Is Treasure Trove holding an upcoming auction?”
“Yes, but not here."
As soon as he heard there was an auction at Treasure Trove, David was immediately interested and asked, “Where will it be held?”
“In the super large trade zone in the west. The real Treasure Trove headquarters was there. There would be a massive auction held soon, and there would be many treasures sold. A low-level Soulbound Weapon could only be considered average in this auction" Elmer said proudly.
As someone who worked in Treasure Trove, Elmer would certainly be proud of the strength of Treasure Trove.
David was excited. 'A low-level Soulbound Weapon could only be considered average?
That is, there are treasures that are more advanced than Soulbound Weapons?
Does that mean I can spend more money and earn more fancy points?'
David did not think of going to the Saint Realm for now. He had to increase his strength to the Sovereign Rank first. That way, he will be appreciated by others. His current strength was still too low, and he was still young. Therefore, it would be difficult to make people believe what he said.
"Old Master Whitlock, can I participate in this auction?" ask David expectantly.
“Sorry, David! The auction invitations had already been sent out three months ago, and they were all allocated according to the number of seats. You're so late. If you come early, I can still get one for you" Elmer said apologetically.
“It's okay, Old Master Whitlock! As long as I can enter the auction, I can stand and do not need a seat.” said David quickly.
He didn't care if he had a seat or not. As long as he could enter the auction venue and participate in the bidding, even if he were to be asked to kneel, David would probably agree, much less stand up. David never wanted to experience helplessness and feelings of being manipulated at will when facing Nek in the Iridescent Sect again. This increase is only the first step to overcome this.
As long as he managed to participate in the auction this time, he could increase his strength to the Sovereign Rank. Furthermore, he would have to consider how to earn more luxurious points and go to the Saint Realm.
“David, those who could follow the auction were all prominent figures in Star Kingdom. There is no way that a trading company would make our guests stand. That would make Treasure Trove seem stupid, and if this news were to spread, it would give us a bad reputation." Elmer shook his head with a smile.
He's correct. Those who could accept the invitation and enter such a large auction site were not simple. Even if David didn't care, Elmer wouldn't let him in and stand up. Otherwise, if word got out, Treasure Trove would definitely be ridiculed by other trading companies. Furthermore, even if Elmer wanted David to enter, the people at the headquarters would not allow him. If he did not have an invitation, he would not be able to enter.
“Old Mr. Whitlock, this auction is very important to me. As long as you allow me in, I, David Lidell, will owe you a favor, and I will prepare a great gift for you in the future" David said in a serious manner.
His participation in the auction was directly related to whether he could quickly become a Sovereign Ranker. Time is very important for David now. Therefore, he had to hurry.
As long as Elmer could take him to the auction, then he would be the man holding his words. Even if he became a Saint master in the future, he still owed Elmer a favor.
Elmer might not know at this point. If he were to reject David now, he would refuse the help of a Saint or someone in the higher realms. This assistance was enough for him to prosper and become an existence that no one in the Star Kingdom dared to mess around with.
“David, I'm sorry! All the invitations have been sent, and there's nothing I can do." Elmer finally said helplessly.
Frankly, if they hadn't finished sending out the invitation, he also wanted to get someone to help David. He wanted to see if what David said was true and whether he was a disciple of a True Saint master and would also become a Saint master in the future. However, all the invitations had already been sent, and he could not help David even if he wanted to.
"Old Master Whitlock, is there really nothing you can do?" david asked disappointed.
He could only slowly accumulate luxury points if he could not participate in the auction. He would now know how long it would take for him to reach the Sovereign Ranker. Elmer shook his head, meaning he had no other way.
“In addition to Treasure Trove, have there been any major auctions held by other trading companies recently?” ask David again.
“David, large-scale auctions like this are very hard to come by. After all, there were only so many precious treasures to collect, and trading companies also needed to consider everyone's shopping habits. Treasures were not cheap, and except for a few great powers, most people would not buy any more in a short period of time after they bought a piece or two, so the interval between large-scale auctions is relatively long to give everyone time to accumulate funds. Usually, they will only hold the second one at least in the next few years." explains Elmer.
David understood, but at the same time, he was a little disappointed. But he did not give up. If Elmer has no other way, it doesn't mean the others don't. After all, the auction had yet to be held, so there was still a chance for him to participate.
Next, he planned to go to the super large trading zone to see if he could figure out how to get the invitation. David believed that not everyone who received the invitation wanted to buy the treasure. There must be people who don't want to buy anything.
He only needed to find such people and buy invitations from them at a high price. However, finding this person wasn't easy because David couldn't get a list of people who accepted the invitation. Treasure Trove was also unlikely to give it to him. Therefore, he could only search for it slowly.
"Old Master Whitlock, may I know how long it will be until the auction is held?" ask David.
"Maybe over a month" replied Elmer.
‘One month! There's still time!'
“Thank you, Old Master Whitlock. Then I won't bother you anymore, goodbye!” David will leave after he finishes speaking.
He still has time. If he missed this auction, he would lose the chance to increase his strength quickly. When David woke up, suddenly a crisp voice called out to him.
“Do you really want to participate in this auction?”
David turned. The veiled woman standing next to Elmer was the one who spoke. David had been watching this woman for a long time. She was wearing a veil, so either she had a pretty face and did not want to surprise others and cause trouble, or she was so terrible that she did not want to scare others.
Judging from his perfect figure, David felt the former was more likely. It would be a pity if it was the last. He is young but he is not weak. He was stronger than David, and he was at least a Mid-Ruler Ranker. It was possible that he was even a late stage Ruler Ranker.
However, the woman stood beside Elmer and poured tea for him, so David guessed that he was Elmer's junior. He just followed to learn and gain some experience.
'Did he have a way to take me to the auction when Elmer couldn't?'
David couldn't believe it. However, he still replied, “Yes! This auction is very important to me. As long as anyone can help me participate in the auction, I, David Lidell, will owe them a favor and will never renege on my promise.”
"You'll know in the future!"
“It looks like you are very confident."
"of course! If I don't even have this confidence, how can I become a Saint in the future?”
'A Saint?
How dare you say it!’ Both Elmer and the hooded woman felt that David was a bit overconfident.
Who in the Star Kingdom can guarantee that they can enter the Saint Realm? Even the heirs of those superpowers would probably not dare to say that. When one reached the Saint Realm, foreign objects would have no effect. One can only realize their own potential.
If one had a thorough realization, one would enter the Saint Realm. If they could not, they would remain at the Peak Eternal Realm or the Partial Eternal Realm. Even if Master David was a True Saint, he could not help David reach the Saint Realm. Therefore, how could David dare to say that?
“I can help you get an invitation card and allow you to enter the auction place ” said the veiled woman.
David looked away from the hooded woman and looked at Elmer suspiciously. Clearly, he did not believe that the woman in front of him could do what Elmer could not.
Only then did Elmer explain, “David, I forgot to introduce you. This was the third young Madam of Treasure Trove. It's easy for him to give you an invitation with his identity.”
‘Third young lady?’
David is even more confused now.
‘If she's the third young mistress, why is she standing?
How can a servant sit while his master stands?
Shouldn't it be the other way around?’
Elmer seemed to notice David's curiosity, so he kept explaining, “He's here to study so he doesn't want to unlock his identity.”
‘So so!’
David understands a little more now.
These great people have a special way of thinking and they like to hang out with ordinary people in disguise.
Therefore, he asked, “Nona, can you give me an invitation?”
"of course! Didn't Elmer just tell you? It's easy for me to give you an invitation with my identity. Even if you don't trust me, you have to trust Elmer! He is also the person in charge here.” As he spoke, he walked up to David and sat down. Marlee had been sitting in that chair before.
“Don't worry, David! As long as our third young mistress is willing to help you, you can definitely enter the auction site." added Elmer.
"What do you need from me before you help me?" ask David.
He knew that since the other party had exposed himself to him, he was definitely willing to help him. Despite this, he did not know what he wanted. As long as it doesn't go against his principles, David will say yes. After all, once he entered the auction, he could quickly increase his strength, thus saving him a lot of time.
“You're not from Treasure Trove, so you don't have to be polite to me. My name is Alba Fellowes.” said the veiled woman.
“OK, Miss Fellowes! What should I do to help me?”
“I can help you if you want, but you have to prove yourself.”.
“Prove yourself? In what way?” ask David.
“You must prove that you have the financial resources to participate in the auction, of course. The people who received the invitation have very rich family backgrounds, so we don't have to worry about them not paying for the treasure. But we don't know you. What if you bid indiscriminately but have no money to pay? If that happens, I will have to bear the consequences even if I am the third young mistress of Treasure Trove. I cannot shoulder this responsibility ” Alba said.
'Prove that I have the financial ability to attend an auction?
How should I prove this?’ David is in a dilemma.
He couldn't show the other party his quadrillion Dollar Star balance, could he?
He might scare them to death if he did.
The entire Treasure Trove was not worth a quadrillion. Moreover, once he exposed so much money, he had no idea how many strong people he would attract. His strength was not enough to fight them all. If he could not explain the source of the Star Dollars, he would be dissected and studied.
'What should I do?'
He was unable to show his balance, but he had to prove that he had the financial resources to attend the auction so that the other party wouldn't worry about him not paying the auction.
'What is the most precious thing I have right now?' David recalls that when he was in the Milky Way, he spent five trillion Galaxy Dollars to buy the Life Stone, which he kept with him the entire time. This thing should be a treasure. Therefore, he took out a wooden box from his hand and handed it to Alba who was sitting beside him.
“Nona Fellowes, there is a rock here. Please check if you can use it as collateral to take me to auction.” Alba took the box that David had given her and opened it without hesitation.
The moment the wooden box was opened, the room was instantly filled with boundless vitality. Even some of the flowers and plants growing on the window sill suddenly became full of vitality and grew a little bigger. The newly grown flower buds bloomed in just a few seconds, emitting a scent that was several times stronger than before. Elmer and Aiba were stunned.
‘What a strong vitality. If a normal person inhales a little, they can definitely add a few more years to their lifespan.’
Alba immediately looked at the wooden box and saw a smooth and round stone lying quietly inside. Infinite vitality was actually emanating from this small rock.
“Elmer, see what this is.”
After Alba finished speaking, he threw the wooden box in his hand at Elmer. Although this thing had powerful vitality, its effects on Eternals were limited. After all, Eternals could continue to form vitality, so they did not need this thing.
However, the effect was still quite good for people under the Eternal Realm. One must be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.
