Death… And Me

Chapter 641 - It Looks Fishy

Of course, they wouldn't bid for their own weapon, so they only watched the bid go up.

"3200!"

"3500!"

"3900!"

"4000!"

In the end, Rean's only Earth Peak-Level weapon for auction went for 6300 Rank Three Spirit Stones. If they exchanged these Rank Three Spirit Stones for Rank Two ones, Rean could definitely make at least five times the price of an Earth High-Level weapon.

"Great!"

With that, Rean concluded his work to get everyone their Spirit Stones. Before, they were using the Spirit Stones that everyone got by selling the Demon Cores, which was almost gone by now. After this, they would not need to worry about Spirit Stones for a few months before needing to get more Spirit Stones again.

A few more items appeared after that until finally, the last one entered the stage.

"Thank you, everyone, for accompanying us so far. Now, we'll bring the last item of the day. Most of you know our tradition. However, for those who have never heard about it, let me explain. The last item is something always donated by the Imperial Family. Many countries pay their taxes in several ways, and the Imperial Family ends up gathering way too many interesting things. That being said, auctioning them in the Imperial Auction Houses is one way of passing them forward."

The host then looked by his side before saying.

"Show the next item!"

Rean's group did not check the auction's catalog since they mainly wanted the Spirit Stones from the weapons. That being said, they didn't know what it was. However, they could feel the tension in the air as many eyes looked at the stage. It was obvious that most of the participants had been waiting for this moment.

The same female Zasfin once again went up to the stage while carrying a small treasure box. On Maluco's private chamber, he saw his father's eyes lit up in the stage's direction.

After that, the host took the book from the girl before opening it and bringing out a bracelet. Rean's group couldn't understand why people were so excited by that. However...

[Oh! Now would you look at that!]

Sister Orb's voice echoed in all their minds.

"Sister Orb, do you know what that bracelet is?"

Sister Orb responded with certainty.

[Yes. Though, the guy should explain it to you soon.]

Sure enough, the host looked at everyone with a smile before saying.

"You're very, insanely lucky. The Imperial Family gave us one Spatial Bracelet to auction today. For those who don't know, this thing has a Spatial Space of three square meters inside it. It doesn't matter how much it weighs. As long as it is within the size of the Spatial Space, you can store it there. However, the weight of the bracelet itself won't change."

The host then continued.

"Many of you always move with big backpacks or with your trusted subordinates when you need to carry your items. However, with this thing, those problems would be a thing of the past. Besides, there's no place more secure than keeping your treasures beside you during all times. The only limitation is that it can't hold living beings. Other than that, you're free to put whatever you want in there."

"Usually, such a thing would only appear in the hands of High-Level Imperial Family Members. However, this bracelet was a failed product. The space inside is unstable, so it had to be shrunk to the size I mentioned a moment ago."

"That's why it's available for selling. Unfortunately, the damage was so great that it's not even worth recycling it for its material anymore. At the same time, none of the people who would usually be able to afford it wanted this thing. You should feel privileged. It's said that no more than ten pieces of Spatial Equipment exist in the entire Empire. As much as it is a terrible failure, it's still useful for Zasfins at your level."

Rean's group was taken aback.

'Isn't that the same as the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm?'

[They are indeed similar. However, that bracelet is of very, very poor quality. As the host mentioned, I can tell that the runes used to make it suffered severe damage during the forging process. Well, I'm not surprised since Spatial Equipment aren't things that shouldn't be crafted in this world to start with.]

[It is weird. The guy said that no more than a ten exists in the Empire. That makes no sense since only someone who surpassed the Elemental Transformation Realm should be able to barely make this thing. You know how much this planet is lacking in energy, so I didn't think there was anyone who reached that level here... or so I thought.]

Surpassing the Elemental Transformation Realm... That was indeed an immense achievement. Back in Sasamil Empire, they only knew of one person who reached that level, Yulian Sasamil. He was also known as the Sasamil Family's Ancestor.

'It seems like we need to reconsider the level of this planet.'

Sister Orb agreed.

[Yes. Of course, it might be that they found another way of crafting it after the Soul Gem System went to the other half of the Universe. Well, we'll eventually find the answer to it.]

Agis added.

'Then again, it's far from matching something like the Dimensional Realm Rean and Roan have. Not only is it gigantic, but it can also hold living beings and circulate Spiritual Energy.'

[But of course! Don't underestimate the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Anyway, the impressive thing here is to even see a piece of Spatial Equipment in this place. You should be careful in the future since someone who can craft that bracelet might be able to feel the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm's presence. Well, he or she wouldn't be able to do anything to it anyway.]

Rean nodded with a serious expression. That was the first time they heard Sister Orb mention the risk of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm being found. Of course, that is if one didn't consider the attack that forced them out of Sunkan Planet. That enemy obviously knew where it was and tried to destroy it.

Rean then understood why everyone was so excited by that bracelet. The Imperial Family might look down on it, but it is definitely a top piece of equipment in this city. The big powers who came to participate in this auction would be going all out for it.

Seeing the expression on everyone's face, the host felt immense satisfaction as he announced the start of the bidding war.

"Now, then. The initial price is 1000 Rank Four Spirit Stones. Each increase must be of at least 100 Stones."

Everyone's expression froze at that moment. Rank Four Spirit Stones! Sure enough, that was a very, very rare thing in this place. Rean and Agis weren't surprised by that since it was hard for even themselves to get it back in their old world, let alone here.

However, that was to be expected. After all, the Imperial Family wouldn't need to sell this for anything of lower quality. Unlike people here, they definitely didn't lack Rank Three Spirit Stones, which were consumed like hotcakes over there. Only Rank Four and above would make any change for them.

Rean then got up from his seat before saying.

"Well, then. Shall we go back? That bracelet might look interesting and all, but you know that it has no use for me."

Agis and Frandin bitterly smiled in response. It didn't have much use for Rean or Roan, but they could definitely do with one of them. After all, the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm was the twins' property, not theirs. They couldn't access it anytime they want and had to always ask for it.

Nonetheless, they quickly shook their heads and followed Rean to the door. There was no point in staying since they definitely couldn't afford that bracelet to start with. However, as soon as they stepped out of the room, a few Auction House employees came and appeared in their way.

Frandin narrowed his eyes as he asked.

"Is there a problem?"

The guy who seemed to be the leader of that group then bowed to Frandin before saying.

"We are deeply sorry, esteemed customers. However, according to the auction house's rules, the private chamber members must not leave before the auction is over."

Frandin's group found it weird. They had no intention of buying anything else, and there was only one item remaining. Why would they need to be kept behind? However, Rean quickly sent Frandin a Spiritual Sense message, telling him how to proceed. Frandin then smiled as if he didn't mind.

"Very well. In that case, please bring me my payment so that I can count my profit this time around. You should have no problem with that, right?"

The employee was taken aback for a moment before he closed his eyes. A few seconds later, he opened it again and smiled.

"There's no problem at all. I already contacted the administration, telling them to bring the payment for your items here."

Frandin nodded, satisfied.

"Hahaha! Great! In that case, let's go back and watch the last bidding war. I guess the big powers of this city are getting very excited over it."

Frandin then entered the room with Rean and Agis, closing its door right after.

Sure enough, it was, as Frandin said. The city powers were having quite a big fight for the bracelet. They even stopped bidding and began to argue with each other.

This time, however, the host didn't stop them. He knew who the Zasfin people arguing were, and this anger between their parties would probably shoot up the bracelet's price even further. Not that Frandin's group cared much about it, though.

"It looks fishy..."
