TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

When the golden cloth was removed, a short sword appeared.

The blade was made of dark blue crystal with some red lines running through the blade. The sword hilt was made of high-quality wood. But why did they use wood to create the hilt of the sword?

A slight red glow shines around the blade. The sword was beautiful because of its distinctive design.

The sword attracted everyone's attention at the scene. For the sword was a little different from the normal ones.

A wooden hilt is very rare to see in a sword. Because it was not strong enough to withstand the strength of the users' hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I know that this sword is a bit unusual, but I guarantee it has great attributes and interesting effects" Talbot announced. He also found the sword strange the first time he saw it.

The screen with the sword information was shown beside the young woman.

Burning Crystal Sword

+15 Strength Attribute

+10 Agility Attribute

+10 Intelligence Attribute

Effect

Increases the power of any type of fire element attacks by 30%.

Increases fire resistance by 25%

Improves healing of injuries caused by fire or something like that.

Requirement: The effects only work if the user is holding the sword. Level 190.

The weapon's attributes and effects were good, but the problem is that they only work if the sword is being held. This is very common in weapons, as it would be strange to receive the benefits of a weapon and have a weapon hidden somewhere.

Any type of weapon works that way. The effects and attributes received by weapons can only be used with the weapon in hand. If the weapon is kept somewhere, whether, in the pocket or the scabbard, the effects will disappear.

The only items that maintain the effects are always the accessories, as they are always being used. Like the rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and other accessories that people wear on their bodies.

"This sword is good and gives many additional attributes. Thirty-five points is no joke, just a weapon forged with rare and powerful items can have that kind of attribute." Someone commented.

"Auctioneer, was this sword forged inside any city in the mine?" A woman with a noble aura asked. She was more interested in the origin of the sword than buying the weapon.

"Dear customer, this sword was forged by a famous blacksmith in the Neutral Zone. Since there are people of level 190 within the city we decided to bring this sword here" Talbot explained.

"I see…"

"Auctioneer, how will the exchange be made?" Another person asked.

"The exchange method will be simple. To keep the items offered secret, a cabin will appear on the stage. Estimated customers who are interested in the sword can come up to the stage and show you the item you want to use to trade. We are accepting crystals from the mine or any other item of equivalent value" Talbot explained how the exchange process will be.

Nobles are thoughtful about it. They were discussing what items they are going to offer to try to get the sword.

The sword caught the attention of many people in the place because the effects of the attributes offered by the sword were very good. Although the effects are against opponents of the fire element, the attributes are already able to enforce the weapon.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you will be called from the number of seats. If the esteemed customer is interested in bidding, you just need to go up to the stage and enter the cabin. If after a minute, the called number does not appear, I will assume that the owner of the called number is not interested in the sword and the next number will be called" He continued with the explanations.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction will leave five minutes for everyone to prepare" As an exchange requires much more than a crystal bid. The auction left a little more time for customers to prepare.

Liu Yang, Aruna were not interested in the sword, as they do not use this type of weapon, a short sword. Whoever uses it is Maev, but she knows she can't afford it, so she chose not to comment on the matter.

Maev still needs to complete her mission, she had no money to buy other things at the time. Besides, she doesn't even have the minimum level to use the sword, so it's a waste of money to buy something like that at the moment.

…

Five minutes later…

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first number called are XXX of the VIP rooms" Talbot announced.

As VIPs were the most important customers in the place, they were the first to be called.

The first customer did not speak up because he was not interested in buying the sword. So Talbot called the next one.

"As the esteemed customer did not respond, I will call the next customer. Dear customer of the XXX number of the VIP rooms "Talbot called.

"I am going!!" King spoke arrogantly. The number called was his room number.

King jumped out of the window and fell to the floor. He didn't want to go down the stairs.

His domineering and arrogant way left people speechless.

(Isn't it easier to go down the stairs? Why are you trying to show something by jumping out the window? Are you an idiot?) That was the thought of everyone who saw this scene.

King wanted to appear more arrogant by doing this, but to others, he looks like a clown.

His walk to the stage was smooth, but he maintained his arrogant and domineering aura. He wanted to show others that he wants to take the sword.

This is to keep competitors away.

Five minutes later…

King came out of the cabin with a confident look. He walked back in the same way as before, but instead of jumping to the window, he went up the stairs. King had no strength in his feet to jump that great height of about ten meters.

"The next number called is XXX of the VIP rooms." Talbot called.

"I am going!!" An energetic voice is heard from inside the VIP room. It is possible to know that it is a young woman from the tone of voice.

A beautiful young woman wearing a long cloth dress appeared in the auditorium hall. She looked like a fairy flying in the middle of a dark forest and her brightness illuminates the place.

"Look. Isn't she the young miss of the Reev family? I think her name is Juleen Reev. What is she doing inside the mine?"

"I remember that she wasn't in town until a few months ago. Did she come to town with the newbies from four months ago?"

"It looks like she was hiding with the newbies"

…

Many conversations echoed around the place when the young woman appeared. Many of them recognize the young woman walking down the hall.

When the young woman passed the row where Liu Yang was sitting, she saw that Aruna and Maev were lying on his lap. She just showed a small smile in his direction.
