419 417 Demon Stone Auction (1/2)

The day after he left the Hamulus raid.

We talked to Bermelia, and we were coming to the auction venue as planned. Bermelia asked me to go straight to the auction. Whatever the thoughts of the Marquis Ashtoner family, it seems to be the decision that spending the day normally is not in the way of the Count Baileys family.

It's the Demon Stone we're after today.

”At first, you're the demon stone of goblinking.”

”Mmm.”

In the auction, the prior appraisal mostly reveals the name of the Warcraft who was the owner of the Demon Stone.

I just don't know exactly what my skills are. Naturally. It's information that doesn't make sense to normal people, and it'll be hard to know in the first place. Even my appraisal with celestial skills doesn't know the skills sealed in that demonic stone.

Maybe I have the skills to analyze it or something, but I've never heard of it. It seems convenient when you get it.

So, what we're after is a demon stone with a threat C or higher. Or it was the demonic stone of a human warcraft. I'm still clever when I'm people-shaped, and I'm likely to learn new skills by doing workouts, etc. Even now, warcraft close to the human form, such as goblins, oaks and demons, often possessed many skills.

The ideal is the Devil's Demon Stone, which will appear at the end of the morning section, but I wonder. There 'll be a lot of the ones you're after, and it should be a tough fight.

No, there's 20 million gold in hand, and if you just drop it, it's fine. I just don't want to give you dozens of times the market, and if you ignore the market too much, other participants and auction organizers might stare at you. Worst case scenario, even if that makes it too conspicuous to be eyed by the Marquis Ashtoner family, it may not be zero.

So I was going to give up if the price seemed to get too high.

”Shall we go then?”

”Mmm.”

Fran, you're gonna listen to Codart today?

(I know)

Actually, we're not the only ones today.

To keep an eye out, I had a deputy in the Adventurer's Guild. If a kid like Fran bids on expensive demon stones, he'll definitely get noticed, and if he wins a bunch of bids, there 'll definitely be guys out there exploring his identity.

Concerned about it, when we talked to Eliante, he introduced some of the adventurers to the auction.

I'm a rank e adventurer named Codart, but what an appraisal skill I had and I was the holder of a background that I was originally an auctioneer. But I have yearned for adventurers for many years, and I am the owner of an interesting background of being equipped and adventurers with the funds I have saved.

Therefore, he was also a late blooming adventurer who was too young to say that he was 35 years old but still had just risen to rank E. He himself seems to enjoy doing this with the extermination of the Miscellaneous Fish Warcraft and chores in the King's City.

He also had an admiration for strong adventurers and was very polite to Fran. He seems to respect the young, aliased Fran from the bottom of his heart.

I guess Eliante added those parts and introduced me to Codart.

”So you don't mind winning the bid for what's on this list, do you?

”Please.”

While sitting next to each other, the bid is to be made by Codart. The products to be bid in advance are determined by looking at the catalogue, and the ceiling is also set in consultation with Codart. I plan on getting Codart to win the bid within that ceiling.

If the maximum bid is likely to be exceeded and further bidding continues, Fran is supposed to sneak up on wind sorcery and instruct how much to exceed.

If there's anything else we want new, we can win our own bid. It's rather odd that you come to the auction venue and you don't bid on anything.
