Chapter 18: [18] Start Of The Auction
[18] Start Of The Auction
The main auction hall.
Inside of a VIP compartments.
Levin D'razure stared at the glass wall and saw the palace owner going up to the middle of the stage and standing behind an auction block. Even though the auction had started, his mind was somewhere else.
The huge stage was encircled by many huge rooms and nobody could know who was in which one. Even the voice of them wasn't needed and their offered price of any product would be shown as a hologram in the middle of the stage, right in front of Old Swine.
It was for safety reasons so that later, the nobles or royals of less influential lineage wouldn't be attacked for the bought things.
"Honorable guests, sorry for the inconvenience. I, the organizer of this once-in-a-century auction, Old Swine, thank you all for attending this event. I won't waste all of your precious time and start the auction right away!"
The old man stood straight on the stage and declared confidently. In that place, his confidence surged out like boiling water. All those arrogant royals and nobles of high status had to listen to him while he spoke, that thing alone fed his vanity.
Alberto Del'virmanos walked beside the glass wall and stared at the stage. He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath. Levin D'razure went beside him and stood shoulder to shoulder.
"Do you sense the blood crystal?" Levin D'razure asked while looking ahead.
Alberto opened his crimson eyes and replied with a devilish grin, "I can't. Either it is hidden by concealing technology or…"
Levin D'razure turned to him "Let's wait and see."
Both of them turned to look ahead and waited for their desired things to show up.
...
"Let us show you the special objects of today's auction!"
As soon as Mr. Swine shouted, pictures of 50 objects were displayed on the glass wall of each compartment.
Levin and Alberto glanced at each object but they didn't find the said blood crystal of Ichor Planet.
Levin D'razure's eyes turned sharp as he saw a cage with a white rabbit in it. As a member of the dragon clan, his intuition was sharp, and felt he should get this tiny thing.
Alberto noticed his slightly interested eyes and asked playfully, "What? Wanna buy it? If this little thing can be brought here to be sold, then she must have hidden skills! I can lend you some if you are short on money."
Levin D'razure returned a sharp look and then explained, "How can I be short on something?! Just that... This rabbit looks familiar…"
At this remark, Alberto turned his attention to the rabbit and clicked on the information about it. Instantly, a brightly smiling Hellrina's picture showed up.

Info: Former maid of Prince Bok Guzzen of the Guzzlion Planet. 170 years old, virgin…]
"Ah, I remember. On your last birthday, she accompanied the princess of the Guzzlion Planet when the latter came to give you a gift!" Alberto smirked as his sight went to his brother.
"She's a beauty~ Do you want her? The soft feeling of fur will be good against the touch." Alberto suggested and winked at his brother.
At the side, Theo Glacior's lips twisted as he saw Alberto poking his master's tolerance. From time to time, he would be speechless by this highly intelligent man who would turn childish and get beaten by the lord.
Levin turned to Alberto and frowned, "Soft… Is that so?"
"Yes! Yes! Soft~" Alberto bobbed his head, again and again, assuring Levin D'razure, suggesting him to vie for Hellrina later.
In truth, he was curious to know why his brother gave it a second look earlier. It wouldn't be a bad thing if she could become his cousin's side mistress. Alberto was worried for this monk-like cousin of his.
At his reaction, Levin D'razure replied with a deep tone, "A rabbit? Too weak. Not befit to become my pet." Then he moved his eyes on the screen and the grey eyes darkened, "I prefer rabbit meat instead of feeling the fur. Been months since I have eaten anything..."
'This monk…' Alberto sighed. To save the rabbit girl, Alberto mentioned buying the rabbit girl and moved his fingers to slide the screen to check other objects. He wished his cousin would forget about eating rabbit meat~
'As expected of my master…' Theo Glacior shook his head and glanced at the wall as well.
After sliding through all the information, Alberto kept three pictures on the wall. He retracted and stared at those sharply.
"The heart of a holy crane, blood pearl of East coast and 1-liter blood of divine duck… these have the properties to hide things related to blood…" Alberto analyzed and turned to his cousin.
"Brother, does that Old Swine want us to buy all of these and that's why he refused to tell us where the blood crystal is?" After saying that, Alberto Del'virmanos frowned. The sharp fangs of his were threatening to come out.
In his life, Alberto hated if someone would try to take advantage of his weakness. The dead bodies in the dead sea, oh please, don't ask him about those shits~
Levin put his hand on Alberto's shoulder and grabbed hardly. At that, the chaotic heartbeat of the vampire calmed down.
Levin glanced at the pictures and whispered, "All these three auction objects are from Doctorio Planet."
Alberto Del'virmanos blinked his crimson eyes and smirked evilly, "Surely those mad researchers would do this, heh~"
Levin concentrated ahead as the objects were emerging from underneath the stage. Each object had a pillar supporting them and those pillars displayed the objects.
Old Swine stood behind the auction block and clicked on a button.
Whoosh~
A robotic hand came down from above and picked up the veil covering the first object. At the same time, a metallic voice of a lady rang out on top of the stage. Some people stared at the shiny horn curiously which was engulfed in fire.
[Horn of a fire rhino.
3000 years old.
Help to relieve hangovers and other small terminal diseases of the fire attribute people.
The auction price starts from 100,000 Az!]
