Sovereign of the Firmaments

As soon as she finished her words, the entire auction house was filled with cheers.

"The first item for tonight is the Minotaur horn."

A long brown-coloured horn appeared in her hands as she started giving the explanation.

"As you can see this is not a normal horn but a rank 4 Minotaur king's horn. You can turn it into a magical artifact that could control a group of minotaurs."

"The starting price for this Minotaur king's horn is 1000 gold coins with a minimum raise of 100 gold coins."

Soon, she stated the starting price with a beautiful smile on her face.

'What?'

'1000 gold coins?'

'If I have that many coins why would I risk my life to enter the 'Myriad primordial forest'?'

'Shut up. For us, 1000 gold coins might be big but for those sitting inside the chambers, it was just a change.'

'Yeah.'

'The reason we came here was to see the rare items and widen our knowledge regarding the bigshots world.'

'Also, for top families and guilds, they always like the items that could control the spirit beasts. So, I say the price for this horn is not so high.'

Mostly those who were sitting in the normal seats, were just there to see the rare and unique items. For that, they had to pay an entry of 5 gold coins.

Only powerful knights and mages from the chambers would be buying these auctioned items.

"1100 gold coins."

While the low-level knights and mages in the normal seats were muttering and whispering to themself, an old voice came from one of the chambers.

"Here comes the first bid from the Alchemy Guild. 1100 gold coins."

The beautiful host looked at the chamber from which the bid had come and shouted.

"Mages guild, 1200 gold coins."

"Assassin guild, 1300 gold coins."

"Alchemy guild, 1400 gold coins."

.

.

.

"Alchemy guild, 3000 gold coins."

Soon, the bidding war between the top guilds appeared and most of the time, it was the Alchemy guild that was bidding the price as though the Alchemy guild was adamant about getting that item.

"So, the Alchemy guild's bid for the Minotaur's king's horn is 3000 gold coins. Is there no one else you want such a rare item?"

"Just imagine, if you have a group of minotaurs, how cool you look."

The job of the female host was to try to make others bid more and more. So, she intentionally used many lines; however, the price of the horn had already exceeded the actual price. So, no one bade, making the old man from the Alchemy guild reveal a light chuckle.

"3000 gold coins, once"

"3000 gold coins, twice."

"3000 gold..."

"My weapons pavilion's bid is 3500 gold coins."

Just when the lady was about to finalize the deal, an old voice interrupted her as he increased the bid by 500 gold coins.

"Weapons pavilion's bid 3500 gold coins"

"Once"

"Twice"

"Thrice"

"Congratulations to the Weapons pavilion for getting the first item."

The beautiful host was quick this time as though she knew the bid would not be increased further. So, within no time, she finalized the deal.

'Holy heavens. The weapons pavilion is wasting their money.'

'Yeah. Even though the Minotaur king's horn is rare, I think 2000 gold coins is the right price.'

'You don't know a thing, do you? Even though the weapons pavilion spent so much to buy it, they can easily use the horn to earn more than 5000 gold coins with their talent to make weapons and artifacts.'

'Moreover, 3500 gold coins is just a change for them.'

Once again a buzz was created in the dozen rows of sitting.

"Damn this old bastard."

In the chamber that belongs to the mages guild, an old man clenched his fists as he scolded the guild master of the weapons pavilion.

However, in the weapons pavilion's chamber, everyone was happy for winning against the mages guild.

"Let's go to the second item and it is a Strength crystal that can increase the rank of anyone below Lesser knight rank by a minor rank; however, a high-level squire can't use them to break into the Lesser knight rank."

Soon, the beautiful host summoned a small box that was filled with light-red coloured crystals as she continued, "There are a total of 10 strength crystals in this box and they will be auctioned as a whole. The starting bid for this box of strength crystals is 100 gold coins."

The first item of the auction will always be a unique item. So, once the minotaur king's horn is gone, there will be only fewer unique items. That's the reason the price of the item was so low compared to the first item.

'If it was a single strength crystal, I would have bought it without hesitation but now...'

'Damn it...why is my luck so bad?'

Many were shaking their heads in disappointment as they cursed their luck.

"Honorwolf family bids 200 gold coins."

"Windcrusher family bids 250 gold coins"

"Grayeye family bids 500 gold coins."

Soon, the bids were placed on the box of strength crystals; however, currently, only top families were bidding and not a single guild placed a bid.

The guilds were of course not interested in the strength crystals because the guilds only recruit those with talent and skill. So, they don't have much use for such items.

However, it was different for families because, in a family, there would be both genius and a fool. Even though they were fools, since they have the same blood, the family heads can throw some gold coins for their sake.

'Damn it, this bastard increased the price so much in his first bid already. Let's see how he will get that item? Haha.'

The Honorwolf family's family head cursed the Grayeye family head as he planned something..

'Let's leave it. It's not worth being in the bad books of the Grayeye family.'

Except for the Honorwolf family, the rest of the families just stopped bidding.

'I think I can use these strength crystals to increase the ranks of the young squires.'

However, Lucas didn't care about the Grayeye family or any other family. Since the item was useful for him, he decided to bid for it.

"Anyone wants to increase the bid for this strength crystal's box?"

The beautiful host cursed the Grayeye family under her breath as he looked at the other chambers

"510 gold coins."

All of a sudden, a voice came from chamber seven as the bid got increased.
