2105 Starting to Hate Auctions

The auction started off great and there were no problems. The items that were being sold were items that are not needed by the guild that dethroned the previous monarch. The items are either not suited for them or not in their image. Some have small curses on them as Adrian could feel the energy in some of them. The items were also cleverly masked with a special cloth item that prevents any energy from leaking out.

This might be due to the fact that some of the items have bad energy. If all of the items' bad energy were to accumulate then a Grudge Monster might form. There have been numerous instances of that happening in some auctions like this which is why a lot of people are already aware of it. Adrian did not bid on items that he did not need as there are rarely anything that catches his eyes.

He would sometime see a great item, but it was not enough of a need to buy it. He waited until there were only five items left to be auctioned but he did not feel the unknown stone of power. He thought that it was being used by someone that is here in the auction, but he crossed that out as there was no reaction. Adrian only felt the sudden familiar energy signature when the next item was getting wheeled to the center of the stage.

The cloth that covered the item swayed a little which was enough for his senses to pick up on the energy signature. He was sure that the next item will be the thing that he needs. He prepared himself as he needed to make sure that he will be the one that ends up with the item. He is also not sitting on a VIP room which meant that he would need to pay the auction house a mark up of 25% for the price that he bid.

"Next on the items that are for auction is…" The spokesperson stated as he took off the cloth which ensured Adrian that this is the item that he is looking for.

When the cloth was taken off, the item revealed itself to be a necklace of gold that is adorned with five gems that glimmered in three different colors. The two gems that are farther from the middle glowed in a pinkish hue that enamored anyone that looked at it. The two gems next to them are blue in color and is larger than he previous two stones. At the middle of the golden necklaces is none other than the stone that Adrian was searching for.

A large dark purple stone that glowed in an unusual red light could be seen as the centerpiece of the gold necklace. The room suddenly became quiet as the beauty of the necklace beguiled anyone that sees it. The people were extremely focused on the necklace that they were suddenly surprised that it released this awful and heavy energy of death. Adrian could clearly see that this necklace was made and soaked in the blood of numerous people.

"The next necklace for auction is none other than the previous queen's necklace that is said to have been crafted with the blood of a hundred female virgins and then soaked in the blood of fifty more. They say that its enchanting beauty is due to the fact of the numerous sacrifices used to craft such a marvel." The spokesperson stated as a lot of the people suddenly thought that the necklaces is ugly.

Adrian could feel the numerous resentment and grudges attached to the item. What he did not expect is that the energy of the unknown stone of power at its centerpiece was not emitting as much. It was like the resentment and grudges that coated the necklace masked the real item that grants immense power. Adrian did not care about the details though because this is something that he would need to win.

"As all of you can see, this is indeed a cursed necklace that was commissioned by the previous queen. She believed that the blood of virgins would make the necklace take on the youthful energy of all of them and make her younger with each wear. It is actually said that it was the previous queen's grandmother that commissioned this golden necklace but only the former was the one seen wearing it." The spokesperson stated.

"You can even see that the energy it exudes is something that our patrons that study curses would like to have. It has this thick miasma on it that would allure those that need to research cursed energy. The starting bid for this one would be 10,000 gold coins but you can also trade for a better item that the current rulers of the kingdom will want. You can call an assistant should you want to bid on this item via barter." The spokesperson stated as the guild that controlled this kingdom did not want cash but useful items.

"30, 000 gold coins." A voice from the VIP stands stated.

"35, 000 gold coins." Another voice from the VIP stands stated.

The price of the gold coins kept increasing that Adrian actually thought that he will not be able to buy it with gold even if he empties his personal bank. The only thing that Adrian could do is offer something to trade which he has a lot of. The only problem that he is facing is what item should he offer since it would be something that the current guild officers running this kingdom would need.

"I did have that egg sitting inside of my inventory for quite a while. I do not even need it since it was an egg of a lesser dragon." Adrian stated as he called upon one of the attendants near him and entered the item that he wished to barter.

"One of our participants have come to barter." The spokesperson stated as the gold coins were already in the 60, 000 gold coin mark.

"The participant has entered that he wishes to barter a… a… apologies as I thought I am not reading it correctly, but he wants to barter a Legendary Tier Lesser Dragon Egg." The spokesperson stated as he could only gulp at the item that Adrian offered.

Since Adrian is not always in auctions, he has yet to know the climates of what items are incredibly rare. A Legendary Tier Lesser Dragon Egg would actually cost at least a hundred thousand gold coins. If it was only an epic tier egg, then the price would be at the ten thousand, but a legendary tier egg is something that any summoner would want. It was also a lesser dragon egg which means that the monster would either be a wyrm, a drake, or a wyvern.

Not all players are like Adrian that can tame dragons as they are extremely rare. In fact, the only known players to have a real dragon as a summoned unit or a mount are three. Adrian and Basil are two of the known players while one is a Dragon Knight player. There might be dragonkin in the game but even they are far inferior when it comes to being true dragons. One cannot tame a dragon unless they hatch it from an egg after all.

Even if Adrian offered a Lesser Dragon egg, only a handful of players have lesser dragons as well. They are not creatures that are easily tamed even if you overpower them. Having a guaranteed legendary tier is also a plus that made everyone in the room speechless. If it is a legendary tier upon hatching, then it might become a mythical tier beast with proper care.

"I have been informed by the owner of this item. The one that bid the Legendary Tier Lesser Dragon Egg has won. Unless someone could provide an item of greater value then the one known as Quin will receive the golden necklace. Going once… going twice… sold to the one named Quinn. Please follow the attendant to the exchange room after all items have been bid." The spokesperson stated but the entire compound started to shake.

"BOOM!"

A powerful explosion suddenly shook the entire building, but the inside of the auction house was still fine. Panic did not immediately occur but people from the crowd suddenly put on masks as they stood up. These people suddenly took out a small cylinder which they pressed, and it morphed into a large gun that they carried with both hands.

"No one moves or else all of you will get hurt." The masked men stated as it was not just those below that have them as even the VIP areas were also raided by them.

"Hand over all of them items in this auction and all the gold that you have on you and then all of you will be able to live. Also, you!" A masked man stated as he looked at pointed the gun at Adrian.

"Hand over the Lesser dragon egg as well if you want to live." The masked man added.

"I am starting to hate auctions." Adrian muttered.

Edited as fast as I can. Thanks for waiting
