Malevolent Warlock: Sin Of Eternity-Chapter 237: Spice things up
Leon raised his old wrinkly hands slowly, but instead of placing a bid, he simply gave and signal and placed his hand down.
"260,000"
All of a sudden, a female with a white oval mask on her face placed a bid upon receiving Leon’s signal from the back.
"We have 260,000 from the lady in the oval mask...can we get a 280,000?" The king under the mountain spoke while swinging the dagger smoothly as if it were a pocket knife.
The gentle swings, although they didn’t cause any fluctuations visible to the average warlock, it was able the slice through the air and a subtle and quick mana as if cutting through the air itself.
"Hmmm, might be worthwhile I guess" from within the crowd whispers began to fly as several others contemplated joining this bid.
"280,000" someone raised his hand with a gentle smile on his face.
A starting price of 250,000, it was probably worth something. And even though he didn’t know what it was.....he wanted it.
"300,000"
Before he could complete his line of thought, the lady in the oval mask raised her hand and placed another bid, seemingly not wanting to step down even in the slightest.
"Hmmm, 310,000" the man from before upped his bid reluctantly. Even though, he was curious about the dagger, it wasn’t so much that he was willing to spend all he had on it.....
There was also the possibility that this might be a ploy by the auction house to sell some shit product....
Thinking of this fact, the man pulled down his hand and looked over at the lady with the oval mask. He now regretted placing that previous bid and was hoping inside of him that she would get him out of this.
"320,000" after a bit of hesitation the lady with the oval mask raised the bid once more indicating that she would no longer raise the bid after that.
"Pheww" the man smiled and relaxed back into his chair. He hated the thought of being swindled more than that of wasting money. The dagger was probably shit anyway.
He thought in his mind...if only he knew.
*going once, going twice....sold to the lady in the oval mask!!!" The king under the mountain said in a loud and joyous voice.
Then he proceeded to hand the dagger over to a lady to his side.
Surprisingly, as soon as it touched her hand a dent was created on the stage from the sheer weight of the dagger.
It previously seemed light because it was in the hands of someone as strong as the king under the mountain.
"Thank the Gods" the man who had lost the bid for the dagger sighed. Such a heavy weapon, it was going to be hard to wield it, talk less of swinging it around.
It was a shit weapon
At least that was what he thought.
"Stupid"
Above the seats at a vip section attached to the roof, a man with a pale face and bald head commented as he saw the look of relief of the face of the crowd.
They had no idea what they just missed out on. If not for the bet, he would never have placed that dagger in the auction.
"Whatever" the scuffled. He didn’t really need it, he was just a hoarder. But he had to let it go now.
"Next item on the list" after completing the transaction with the dagger, the auctioneer continued with the auction.
"120,000"
"42,000"
The bidding did not stop with several items of interests appearing. Some of which shook the entire auction house....but up till now, there was absolutely nothing that got the reaction of those at the vip stage.
"This is soooo boring, when will something interesting come on sale"
At the vip section above the auction seats, a young looking girl with silver hair and a blue glow in her eyes spoke.
To sit at the vip section, one had to be insanely powerful, at least at the level of the high Arbiter. The people here were not ordinary.
"Shut it old hag, we are trying to listen over here" a voice resounded in response to the lady with the silver hair.
"Asswipe!!!" She turned back and cleared at the person who spoke. Despite her look she was incredibly old. "If I were your mother, I’d be ashamed of giving birth to a shit stain like you" she continued trying to provoke the person whom had just spoken.
"You mean great grandmother?" The man relentlessly ripped through her showing an intense dislike for her.
"It’s enough you two, the auction just started....have a little patience" an older commanding voice resounded forcing both parties to stop and look.
"Hmmm, " they both stared at the figure for a few minutes.
This was one of the organisers of the blood unity auction. A controlling member of the blood clans, he definitely knew what would appear in the auction.

"It better be worth while" the lady with silver hair muttered under her breathe before Turning back to the main Auction.
In as much as she respected him, there was no need for subservience. They weren’t too far apart in strength .
She thought.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"Hmmm? Nice!!!!"
On the stage, the king under the mountain rose up from a listening position with a massive smile on his face.
He could feel the boredom the old monsters were feeling from way over here,
There needed to be a change. After all, they were the main reason this auction was ongoing In the first place.
"Today...we have a surprise for you guys" the king under the mountain said while facing the crowd with all four hands behind his back.
Behind him, a small stage was being prepared, and an old man in his 70’s slowly made his way onto it.
Then, the king under the mountain pulled out a sachet of a gray powdered incense around 5 grams and proceeded to pour it into an incense pot.
Following which he looked up at the crowd and smirked.
