Death Guns In Another World-Chapter 1096 1041: The Auction

Maria sighed, stopping she stared into the sky before saying.

''I don't know but recently I have been feeling restless as if something bad will happen. My instincts are telling me that soon something will happen but I don't know what it will be and my instincts have never been wrong before, not even once.''

Both Sakuya and Luna nodded in acknowledgment while Gracier said.

''Relax, I'm sure that nothing bad will happen because we are all together no matter what will happen.''

''Yes, she is right to let's go to the auction house and get why we are here,'' Sakuya said urging them to move on, they arrived in this city because they have a goal in mind.

While it's true that they had all progressed, gaining strength, they have a shortcoming which is their mana capacity, compared to Alex it was too little, and even without that, they needed a larger mana pool to last in the fight, to cast many spells. So, after completing the mission of getting rid of Leonardo's crew, they parted ways with others to arrive in this city where the largest secret auction was held, their goal was to find elixirs to increase their mana pool.

''Okay! Let's go.'' Maria said before leading the group to the place the auction would be taking place. On road she chuckled at how none of them said anything about the fact they murdered their former classmates, she understood that it was a pretty sensible matter that nobody wants to bring forward. They have a tacit agreement to keep quiet about this.

Finally, the group arrived at the auction house and after paying the entrance bills and being given the key to their booth they were guided there.

It was a big auditorium capable of encompassing thousands of people. The auction was about to start.

Maria and the others sat in their booth calmly waiting for the auction to begin and it began soon. All eyes were focused on the stage ahead.

This stage was long and wide enough to be considered grand. The front end of it was wrapped by a transparent force field that didn't restrict people on the stage. The force field was programmed in such a way that the fluctuations from the items in the auction wouldn't be sealed.

The chatter in the auditorium has completely died by the time the man dressed in butler clothes made the introductory speech. The female helper dressed in bunny clothes continued to stand beside him, sporting a seductive smile.

"Everyone knows the rule so let the auction begin," the man said to the audience. "The first item for auction is Heart Spring Flower. Let me describe its classification for those who don't know it by its popular name..."

At the same time, the bunny showcased the flowering plant.

Surprised gasps and audible exclamation rang throughout the auditorium as the flower was introduced.

It has heart-shaped seven white petals that were glistening with radiance. Its leaves were alternate, ovate to lanceolate, with a toothed margin, just like a hibiscus.

The vital essence and the potent strength of Heart Spring Flower formed an important component of the liquid gell used in strengthening variable items such as weapons or accessories.

Most people here were either directly or indirectly affiliated with blacksmiths or organizations directing some of the most powerful blacksmiths. Heart Spring Flower was a valuable component and everyone knew it.

"Please start the bidding," the bunny girl requested the audience. "We don't have a minimum starting price as we trust the wisdom of our guests."

"100 Silver" A young man in ordinary seating rows called out.

"300 silver coins!''

Gracier looked on as people bid excitedly.

Many of them had no interest to buy it as they had reasonable confidence that even if they bid at the start, they wouldn't win. They did it so that they could tell their friends and acquaintances how they participated in a bidding war for a precious item.

"500 silver coins!''

"700!" A middle-aged man working for a medical corporation called out.

The flower was valuable but not valuable enough for bidding to go out of scale. As such, he has enough confidence in acquiring it at this price.

"1000 silver coins."

A nonchalant voice rang in the auditorium, making everyone silent by such a brazen jump in price. Many of them peeked in the direction from where the voice came.

Naturally, it came from Maria's group booth and the one who bid on this item was none other than Gracier. She did know the value of money but since she acquired it from working hard and from her pocket money she didn't mind spending it freely. She has no shortage of money thanks to her generous brother and her work as an adventurer.

As for why she bided so high from the start, well, it was because she didn't want to engage in one bidding after another. Such a high bid would prevent the hassle.

It wasn't like she was losing her money so she decided to be open-hearted and generous. She wanted this item to enhance her equipment, the dress her brother offered her and neither Maria nor the other two stopped her as they knew why she was doing this.

In the auction hall, no one made subsequent bidding. This was to be expected given the bid.

The man in the butler's clothes looked at Gracier as if she was the goddess of wealth. He rubbed his hands excitedly and proclaimed Gracier as the winner of this round. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

A female staff walked to Gracier with a smile. She was holding the wooden box inside which the bid item was stored.

She retrieved the money as she arrived in front of her. 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

"Please check," She said, still smiling, as she handed the box.

"No need," Gracier replied while taking the box. ''I can sense what is inside, whether it's the real deal or not without checking.''

"Oh my! You must be really strong then.'' That female girl said but Gracier only smiled to the latter disappointment. She took the money from her and left after the auction and Maria and the others successfully acquired what they came for, everyone without exception.
