It’s getting harder and harder to be a villain these days

The auction started, but Youra in the audience frowned.

"Blue and white porcelain vase, 10 Galleons three times. Congratulations to VIP No. 666 on the transaction!"

She was diligent and frugal in life, and even hesitated for several days to buy a fur coat. She didn't quite understand Vickrey's squandering behavior.

"Ring of Life, No. 666, sold for 55 Galleons!"

"Really..." Yula shook her head.

Ordinary people may think he is cool and envious, but in Yula's opinion, his luxury is sad.

As a professor in a college, he cannot have so much money. Weekley's luxury is entirely based on his status as the heir to the Pod family.

However, because he wasted the family's wealth on these useless things for his own selfish desires, he was obviously unqualified as an heir.

Their engagement may have been a mistake from the beginning.

Even though she tried hard to find a way to make Vickrey change, Yula realized that this was impossible due to his unrestrained behavior.

"He's beyond help."

At this moment, a noble man next to Yura's seat spoke to her with a gentle smile.

"It seems you came here for that thing too."

Guessing what she was thinking, Yula's shoulders trembled violently.

"……Um."

Oliha steel.

This is a legendary metal that contains great magic within it.

It is considered to be a kind of magic. If it is an ordinary craftsman, even smelting is a problem.

"It's time for me to prepare my own weapons."

This is the reason why the frugal Yura appeared at the auction. As a knight, she would only spend money on her own weapons.

Oliha Steel is her best choice.

Of course, this is by no means a luxury.

Ever since she became a knight, she had been looking forward to owning a sword made of Oliha steel, and had been saving money for it until now. Even now, she still doesn't have a decent sword.

Because Yora had saved all her salary as a knight and the pocket money given by her family over the years. She had been saving for more than 10 years just for this moment. She finally saved 500 million Galleons!

"Haha, as expected, I can only wish you good luck. You are not the only one targeting Oliha Steel today." The man narrowed his eyes and pointed.

"What do you mean?"

"Your fiancé seems to be too..."

"He is not my fiancée."

Youla's eyes narrowed suddenly, seeming very angry.

The man smiled apologetically, then quietly stepped back...

Youla took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and waited patiently for Oliha Steel to appear.

No matter who it is today, she will never give in!

Chapter 22 Beauty’s Disappointment

After another half hour, the much-anticipated Oliha Steel finally appeared.

"Oliha Steel is a collection of nature's magic power. Even in the history of the empire, it has a prominent position as a symbol of heroic weapons! The starting price is 100 million Galleons! The quoted price is 1 Galleons!"

"VIP No. 521 bids 101 million Galleons!"

Youla stood up excitedly and made the first offer without hesitation.

However, many people present came for it, and the price quickly climbed from 100 million to 150 million, 200 million, 250 million, and finally stabilized at 300 million.

"VIP No. 521 bid 310 million Galleons! Is there any higher price?"

Fortunately, most of the nobles present chose to give up after seeing that Miss Yura from the Claire family was bidding.

After all, no matter how good the Oliha Steel is, it cannot offend the Claire family, which is very powerful in the empire's military. Putting aside Yora's story, her sister will definitely not let them off easily.

"310 million galleons a time!"

Seeing this, Youla couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. 310 million was cheaper than she thought...

However, at this moment, Vickery made a bid!

"VIP No. 666 bids 350 million Galleons!"

"!"

Yura opened her eyes and looked behind her.

In the VIP seat not far from her, Vickery was sitting there with an aloof expression that seemed indifferent to everything.

Youla clenched her fists, what the man just said was true...

But she won't give up!

"VIP No. 521, 360 million Galleons!"

"VIP No. 666, 380 million Galleons!"

……

From this moment on, it was only the two of them competing on the field.

The auctioneer on the stage was constantly bidding, and the audience below the stage was not idle either. While they were watching this wonderful show, they were filled with admiration and cheers.

On the one hand, the collision of money is the conflict between the two families, Pod and Claire, which excites them the most, not to mention the relationship between the two of them as an unmarried couple...

"VIP No. 666, 450 million Galleons!"

The price reached 450 million, which was more than enough for Vickrey, but Yora's hands began to shake, and she was almost running out of money...

But she doesn’t want to lose yet!

"VIP No. 521, 500 million Galleons!"

This is all the savings she can currently put out.

However, Vickery immediately caught up with him.

"VIP No. 666, 550 million Galleons!"

Yula's shoulders trembled.

The scene fell silent, and everyone held their breath and looked at her.

After taking a few deep breaths, Youla quoted a price. If the private residence in her name was also sold...

"VIP No. 521, 650 million Galleons!"

After a brief uproar, the scene fell silent again, and the pressure came to Vickery.

'Does Yola really want this piece of Oliha steel too? '

Vickery hesitated for a long time.

If he forcefully buys Oriha Steel, he may be resented by Yula and trigger the death branch. However, if he gives up, the danger he faces may double as he cannot improve his strength in a short period of time.

Oliha Steel will not always be available. If you miss this time, you don’t know when the next time will be...

Instead of pinning his hopes on such illusory things as luck, Weekly is more optimistic about holding the power in his hands now.

Well, Yura, I'm sorry, I hope as a knight you won't want to kill him for such a trivial matter...

"Whoo~"

At the same time, the huge pressure almost made Youla breathless. She was happy and angry, with anxiety written on her face.

"Oh? It seems that the owner of Oliha Steel will be VIP No. 521..."

30 seconds passed.

"650 million Galleons for the first time!"

After hearing this, Yura collapsed on her seat with relief, enjoying the fruits of victory calmly and peacefully.

however……

"Oh oh oh! No. 666 is back! The bid is 700 million Galleons!"

"what!!"

Yura jumped up from her chair, unable to believe what she saw.

"..."

Youla wanted to continue bidding, but in the end she lowered her head helplessly and closed her eyes.

She has no money anymore...

Although she didn't want to admit it, she did lose. The helpless feeling of having her beloved thing taken away by others gradually spread throughout her body.

"Is there no higher one? So in the end, 700 million Galleons once, 700 million Galleons the second time, and 700 million Galleons the third time! Congratulations to VIP No. 666 for becoming the owner of this legendary metal, Oliha Steel! "

The winner was determined, but Weekly was very calm about it.

He was more concerned about the shaky figure in the front row than the warm applause from the audience.

----

The auction was finally over, and Youra stood up unsteadily from her seat. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, someone blocked her way.

Vickery was looking at her with cold eyes.

"……congratulations."

After saying these words against her will, Yura just wanted to leave here as quickly as possible.

However, Vickery said.

"Is your target also Oliha Steel?"

"..."

For a moment, Yula's veins popped out, and she seemed to know what Vickrey was planning.

I vaguely remember what Vickrey said on the day of the engagement.

"As long as you are willing, I can do anything for you and dedicate everything to you."

Is he showing off his financial resources in an attempt to force himself back to him?

Stop dreaming, she will not marry even if she uses such despicable methods!

"What do you want to say? If you are here to show off, you can go back." Youla said coldly.

"...I'm sorry, I have my own difficulties too."

After saying that, Vickery turned around and left, leaving Yura staring at his back blankly.

what is this?Just apologize and leave?

Just when Yura was confused and wanted to catch up and ask for details, the surrounding discussions reached her ears.

"By the way, why did Professor Weekly buy Oriha Steel? Isn't he a wizard?"

"What else could it be? It's for my fiancée."

Youla heard her teeth gnashing secretly. It was this group of people again. If it hadn't been for these rumors, she and Vickery would never have gotten engaged.

"I see, but in that case shouldn't we have just made a concession?"

"It's not like you don't know Professor Weekly's character. He definitely wants to send it to him in person. And I heard that he has recently planned to make a sword by himself. However, using Oliha steel as the material seems to be too much for him. .”

Although she knew that these rumors were not to be heard, Yura couldn't help but think about Vickrey's conversation just now, could this be what he really planned?

But the magic power contained in the body of Oliha Steel is too huge, and it is impossible for magic to interfere with it. From the moment it was discovered, its only way out was as a sword.

Moreover, it needs to be wielded tens of millions of times to communicate its internal magic power. Only after it is completely tamed can it display its true strength. It can be said to be a very difficult metal...

For what purpose did Vickery buy it?

"Oh, I really envy Youla. In any case, it is a gift of 700 million Galleons. Why don't I have such a good life? I am content with a necklace of 7 Galleons."

"That's right, but even so, Yura is still trying to shirk. She's so arrogant. I don't know what she's trying to do?"
