East Meet West

227- Auction Finale

“45,000 gold coins for the third time.”

“And Sold.”

“Congratulations to the esteemed guest from Silver room no. 18, for obtaining the Foundation Stabilizing Pill.”

Liza Dohm smiled while looking in the direction of Orochi’s room.

She was somewhat surprised after looking at Orochi’s actions in today’s auction. Especially about the fact that he dared to go against powerful clans like the Chan clan, spend lots of money in today’s auction such that his total spending in today’s auction lands him in the top 5 ranks of people who spent money in today’s auction.

Although, she was surprised but it was only for a moment and in the next instance, she moved on to announce the next item on the auction list.

So, like this, the auction continued and the next items that were put for auction were getting more interesting and expensive. So, the prices at which they were sold, also rose drastically.

Orochi, whom Liza Dohm ranked in the top 5 spenders in today’s auction, also lost his ranking, but he still stayed in the top 10 rankings because between this period he also made a few shots and spent more than 70,000 gold coins.

The whole auction event was in a heated frenzy, and many good items [in the eyes of local people] were auctioned.

Finally, after a few hours, the auction reached its climax.

Liza Dohm smiled and announced,

“I know that everyone is waiting for the final item of today’s auction.”

“And let me tell you that this item is also the main attraction on the eve of our branch’s yearly auction.”

“So, now let me introduce to you the final item of today’s auction...”

Clap

Liza Dohm clapped her hands and two servants carried an object covered with cloth and brought it onto the stage.

Seeing this, everyone’s eyes were glued to the stage.

Looking at the object that was being carried onto the stage, few people could not help but take a deep breath. And these breathing sounds echoed in the auction.

Some gulping sounds could also be heard once in a while.

Everyone's eyes went hot when looking at the object that is covered in cloth.

Even Orochi could not take his eyes away from the stage.

Because this is the item that made Orochi, who wanted to relax for a few days in the border city, hurry to the town of Chans.

As soon as the item was brought on to the stage, Liza Dohm stood next to it and held the cloth in her hands while she looked at people sitting in the auction hall and in the VIP rooms.

Seeing that everyone is filled with anticipation, she felt satisfied and finally pulled down the cloth and the item hidden under the cloth was finally revealed.

On the stage, a golden chest armor came into everyone’s vision.

Surprisingly, the golden armor was covered with numerous scratches, dents, cracks, and weapon marks.

And at the center of the golden armor, there was a fist sized brown crystal attached which had numerous markings engraved on it.

Looking at the golden armor, one can only wonder why everyone is excited about it?

The golden armor radiates a kind of ancient aura from it, and if it is because of its ancient style, one can understand why people are interested, as from their perspective-

Rich people have different tastes, so maybe they want to buy this ancient armor to place it in a showcase and show it off to others.

It's similar to how people in Orochi’s previous world would buy antique items and place them in their collection as a hobby or to show off in front of others.

And the same goes for the golden armor placed on the auction stage.

Because from normal people’s perspective, the golden armor is almost broken, and other than the brown crystal there is no other specialty about it.

.

Liza Dohm:

“Let me tell few details about this golden armor.”

“This golden armor was found in an ancient ruin and was bought by our branch at an exorbitant price.”

“Numerous experts belonging to our Golden Cloud Chamber of Commerce and other blacksmiths have inspected this golden armor and came to the conclusion that this golden armor was an Orange grade defensive artifact in its heyday.”

As soon as she said this, numerous discussions broke out in the auction hall.

Seeing this, Liza Dohm requested everyone to be quiet, and then she continued,

“According to the people who have inspected this golden armor, even in the Orange grade, the Level of the armor was very high during its heyday. So, that means in the heyday the Golden armor was an Orange grade Level 7 or higher level defensive artifact.”

“Wheeessshh...”

Hearing this, many people sitting in the auction hall, took a deep breath.

Liza Dohm Continued,

“But of course, as you can see that this golden armor has gone through many wars & battles, and also due to the effects of time, the grade of the armor has fallen to Red Grade Level 4 defensive artifact.”

Hearing, few people’s faces started to show disappointment.

Seeing this, Liza Dohm’s smile did not converge, instead, she continued with a confident and excited tone.

“But don’t be disappointed, because this golden armor is much more special than what it looks externally.”

Hearing this, everyone showed a surprised expression and carefully looked at the golden armor.

Some smart and people with good eyesight caught some clues but waited for Liza Dohm to continue.

Liza Dohm did not make things secretive, she continued,

“I am sure that everyone can see the fist sized brown crystal embedded in the center of the golden armor, right?”

Seeing this, everyone nodded faintly, then Liza Dohm continued,

“And you can also see that many complicated designs are engraved on the brown crystal, right? And many of you might be confused about it.”

Again, people nodded at her question.

“Now let me tell you what the brown crystal is and what these complex designs are.”

Liza Dohm’s eyes swept throughout the auction hall, and then she continued,

“I am sure that many of the people sitting here are aware of Formations and Arrays. And you might also know that the higher the grade of Formation and Array, the bigger they are and more complex they get.”

“And people who specialize in the field of Formations and Array are called as Formation and Array Guru.”

“And on this brown crystal, a high-grade array is drawn by an expert Array Guru.”
