0.01 Second Sword Master
Chapter 38
“My lord. Here is the attendance list for today.”
Violetta, who arranged this auction and the head of the Charlene family, received the list given by the butler and examined it.
“Hmm-. It’s the same as last time.”
“Yes. Again, the majority of customers who received invitations participated.”
“Of course it is. It’s because people of high status from each kingdom rarely gather in one place.”
The Charlene Auction was a good place to consume to satisfy the desires of the aristocrats who liked to pamper themselves with extravagance.
And it was also a good cause for nobles from each kingdom to gather like a social gathering.
Leaders cannot afford to miss this opportunity.
Thanks to this, the Charlene auction has become a privileged place where only a select few high-ranking people can gather as a culture.
“Well?”
But at that time, there was one name that stood out.
On the list of attendees today,
“Aslan?”
The name, Aslan, who had sent invitations many times but had never attended this meeting.
“I can’t believe Lee is attending here.”
If you were asked to choose the person who draws the most attention on the continent these days, Aslan’s name would come out first in nine out of ten.
Even after suddenly killing Yuhan one day and becoming a sword master, he still shows various performances. there now,
“Did you even get a nickname called Demon Hunter?”
“Yes. There are so many people who say that I am Rahal’s chosen Knight of Light.”
“It’s something to live for a long time and see. For Aslan to hear such an evaluation.”
As befits the top tier of the continent, the amount of information coming into the Charlene family is staggering.
There was even a collection of information about each character.
And, of course, there was information about Aslan.
But he
“I was told that he was obviously bluffing and petty.”
Of course, the latest information has changed a lot.
He knows how to be for the people without talking about petty and petty, and his support is so great that he is revered almost like a god in the Kingdom of Eli.
In addition, the loyalty of the knights towards him was so high that even a single soldier standing guard resisted the temptation to give him a large sum of money and never did anything harmful to Aslan.
“Isn’t information merchants supposed to do a water change? Information changes like flipping the palm of your hand.”
“It won’t be just us. The Reyes Church is also in trouble because of Aslan’s sudden change in behavior.”
The Church of Reyes had information power comparable to that of the Charlene family.
If it’s enough to be embarrassed there, the information merchants won’t be a problem.
“After all, Aslan, that person is the problem.”
“Yes. He is someone whose next move was never expected.”
He was a man of some interest.
In particular, the most curious
“I heard that the reason why he had been silent until now and suddenly started to draw his sword was because of the devil?”
“It is not certain information, but given the progress so far, it is quite possible.”
“yes?”
Violetta had an impatient personality when she had questions.
Suddenly, an interesting idea occurred to her.
“Put Regilotte’s bracelet up for auction.”
“…But isn’t that an unsold auction item?”
“yes. It’s not something that looks ugly. It’s a bit pricey compared to what it looks like. Rumors aren’t good either.”
These high-class aristocrats value appearance.
It didn’t matter how good the items that came up as auction items had a good effect. If it looks good in your own eyes and looks good in the eyes of others, you buy it without hesitation.
If there is a bidding competition like that, you raise money to get the product until the end, and when you finally defeat all competitors and put the product in your hands, you feel a sense of accomplishment for a while.
This was the primordial pleasure of an auction.
“Take a look.”
To him, Regilotte’s bracelet was far from the luxury of nobles.
Because the equipment is old and even if it is restored, the appearance is not good, especially
“Are you okay? Customers won’t even notice. Aren’t there rumors going around that if you buy this bracelet you will be cursed?”
It was because the option attached to this bracelet was related to the devil.
Exactly which options were not known in detail.
To find out, you have to analyze it magically, but even that magic tower couldn’t find out what effect this bracelet had.
As soon as they learned that the bracelet was related to the devil, they immediately stopped testing it.
As rumors spread among the nobility, everyone turned away from this bracelet.
“Aslan must have a lot of money.”
I have heard that the Berak family has great financial power.
That’s why we send invitations every year.
“I wonder how you will look today.”
Like other aristocrats, will he be greedy and spend his money on luxuries, or will he be interested in other things?
I just wanted to satisfy this curiosity.
* * *
“Aslan, the standby division commander. There is an event being held in our family this time…”
“I enjoy listening to the performance of the commander of the Grand Air Division every day. If the Berak family interacts closely with our family—”
“Does it make sense that a person like the commander of the grand headquarters has no spouse? Actually, I have a beautiful daughter…”
Before the auction began, the nobles talked while holding their glasses.
I thought I would just stand awkwardly in the middle, but more people than I thought gathered around me.
There were quite a few stories that were quite tempting, but because of this guy’s bluff, I just listened to them with a blank expression all the time and didn’t respond.
“The auction starts soon. Everyone please have a seat.”
And the auction started.
I found a random seat and sat down, but several people fought nervously to sit next to me.
“oh. The seat is empty. May I sit down?”
However, one of them quickly pushed in from the butt, kicked out the person who tried to sit first, and sat down herself.
“… that’s right. It’s not even a set seat anyway.”
At first I tried not to pay much attention to it, but
[Raphael]
Power: 50
Intellect: 87
mana: 87
“!?”
I almost shook my shoulders at the information floating above it.
Raphael.
There are so many names that attended the auction here, so it could be overlooked, but Raphael is a little different.
Because she is a person who cannot attend here.
You probably didn’t even get an invitation.
But that appearance…
‘Is it metamorphosis?’
The character Raphael I know didn’t look like this.
That means that she is transforming into someone else’s appearance through her special skill.
“Why are you like that? What’s on my face? Or are you mesmerized by my beauty?”
“…”
“Ho Ho. just joke. See you for the first time. My name is Elisha from the Nerville family.”
It’s a song I’ve never heard of.
Probably one of the noble families.
“Nice to meet you.”
I just said hello and turned my head.
Raphael is one of the main character’s companions, and she is of elven origin. A harp similar to that of the main character.
Of course, the Dark Elves were not born between humans and elves, but between the techina tribe and elves.
‘Did I come because of Alexander?’
But the two still don’t seem to have a connection like this.
“Twenty million! Up to 20 million linens!”
While I was thinking deeply alone, the auction was heating up.
There are a lot of kids with a lot of money.
[The open sea of Rione]
– Makes the viewer fall into deep thoughts.
The artwork, which had little effect and was only slightly gold, went up to 20 million linens.
How much is 20 million linens?
But this was at the level of aegyo.
“Fifty million linens! Do you have another person? Then we win the bid for 50 million linens!”
Nobles were pouring huge amounts of money into items that had no effect.
But it definitely seemed fun to watch.
Should I say that it’s fun to see how much money goes up on one of those trash items?
And at the same time, it was also sad.
‘under. If I played as the name of the Charlene family.’
Then all the money here is mine!
Even if you bring only 10% of the money spent here, you will be able to complete the kingdom’s maintenance perfectly and live without worrying about money for the time being.
Furthermore, he spent a lot of money on the maintenance and military expenses of the kingdom, so the money he could spend here was limited.
‘It’s a big deal.’
The condition for clearing the Charlene Auction is to buy one auction item here.
However, it was questionable whether these crazy people would be able to get one thing right if they raised money like this.
Even if I had the money to pay, I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on useless things.
“Doesn’t the commander of the Grand Order have anything you want to buy?”
Raphael spoke softly to me.
What do you want to buy?
Not yet.
I would buy one if it had a good effect, but today’s auction was nothing.
‘but. It’s not really random like this.’
It was a common occurrence in games.
The items obtained from the Charlene auction were random, so there were many times like today, there were many trash items that were pretty only on the outside.
‘ah. So, do I have to buy a really useless one?’
The auction continues, and soon it’s time for the last item to come out.
If you don’t buy anything by then,
‘The quest failed.’
Should I buy one now?
However, things that are not really worth buying and are expensive are still coming out?
“This is the final auction.”
this.
After all, I’ve come this far.
“The last auction item is the one that has always been a hot topic.”
What has always been a hot topic?
“It’s Regilotte’s bracelet.”
Regilotte’s Bracelet?!
Finally, something worth writing comes out.
However, the atmosphere in the auction house was very cold.
There were even some nobles who murmured at each other and openly expressed their displeasure.
“The exact effect of Regilotte’s bracelet has not been revealed. It is only said that it has something to do with the devil.”
The moderator also sensed the atmosphere and his voice became a little quieter.
“There are rumors that if you wear this bracelet, you will be cursed by the devil. But that’s an unconfirmed fact. This bracelet was created by Regilotte, the legendary blacksmith, so the effect on the bracelet must be amazing!”
Nevertheless, the reaction of the nobles was still the same.
oh yes.
It’s because of the ghost story attached to Regilotte’s bracelet.
Originally, Regilotte’s bracelet is obtained through a hidden quest.
‘That ghost story was a bit bloody, though.’
As you progress through the quest, rumors spread that Regilotte’s bracelet was cursed by the devil, so no one wants to wear it.
It is obvious that our noble nobles would be reluctant to say that it was an item related to the devil.
But anyone who has played this game a few times will know.
That Regilotte’s bracelet is a very useful item.
because,
[Regiloth’s Bracelet]
-A bracelet made by the legendary blacksmith Regilotte.
– Convert all attacks to light property.
-Inflicts 200% additional damage on dark units.
-When wearing a bracelet, one more option is given randomly.
This is because it is a crazy item that can change all attacks into light attributes and applies 200% additional damage to dark-type demons, such as the Techina.
“Let’s start with one million linens.”
The question is, how high does this go?
“…”
No one was placing a bid.
“Is anyone there?”
really nobody?
Does anyone really buy that honey item?
Even if it’s because of a ghost story, you’re just passing that over?
“If no one is there, I’ll take down the auction.”
As the moderator was about to lower the auction, I quickly raised my hand.
However, because of this guy’s bravado, I couldn’t even raise my hand quickly.
I raised my hand slowly, in the most dignified and dignified manner possible.
“ah! Customer number 7 placed a bid. Don’t you have 1.1 million linens? 1.1 million linens?”
please don’t
3, 2, 1.
yet,
“Customer number 7 has won the bid!”
Clearing the quest, as well as obtaining useful items.
I barely resisted the urge to clench my fists and scream.
But all eyes were on me, so I just nodded with a calm face.
The aristocrats gathered at the auction house showed curious eyes mixed with questions about why I had bought such a thing.
“How amazing. I wondered what kind of things Aslan-sama would be interested in, but to hear that he was bidding on Regilotte’s bracelet instead of something else.”
At that time, it was Raphael who was talking to me next to me.
I had forgotten her existence for a moment.
I glanced down at Raphael.
“No one knows what effect that bracelet has. Aslan, do you know what it is? Or does Aslan-sama see something that others cannot see?”
I pondered for a while.
Will there be any good things from my close relationship with this woman, or will there be more downsides?
But before you even consider it,
“Well.”
Aslan’s bravado flowing down my back first impulsively made my emotions boil.
“Does it look different to the eyes of an elf?”
“!?”
Then Raphael’s eyes began to shake violently.
“Yes? uh, elf? Suddenly, what is that…”
I didn’t even give her a chance to make an excuse.
“You’re trying to fool my eyes with such a crude shapeshifting technique.”
Rather, he looked down at Raphael arrogantly and warned him.
“If you play a joke like this one more time, then I won’t let you go.”
After saying that, I got up from my seat.
It seemed that the relationship with Raphael, one of the main character’s colleagues, was completely ruined by this.
and at the same time,
[You have completed the quest.]
