Emperor's Reckoning

Hearing the thirty million golds bid, every other Vip instantly gave up. They were still thinking of counter bidding the Nove sect, but all those ideas got burned down. Noy just anyone could casually bid that much not to mention provoking the Nove sect at the same time.

"They must be from another high-grade sect." said one of the guests

"Not necessarily, they might come from a huge kingdom or even a dynasty." said another.

"But either way, I wonder what the Nove sect gonna do." said another one.

The three old men were livid and ripping the paper apart.

"Thirty million going once ..... twice ..... sold! Congratulation to the VIP with the emotional mask!" said Fergal.

"What are we going to do senior brother?" said one of the old men.

"We should get to know them first so that we can check their background, then we can decide what to do." said the leader. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

*nod

Then the guests started to stand up from their sit attending to leave the auction.

"Wait, cultivators, the auction is not over yet," said Fergal with a smile, enjoying the surprised expressions. Then he continued: "The next items were the best items this auction ever auctioned."

*creak

*creak

Before the guests could ask what the items were, the sounds of wheels rolling, filled the room. It was a wood table, with three scrolls on display. The scrolls itself didn't have any special engraving or some sort, they were the most common scroll you could buy in a regular store.

However, the next sentence from Fergal made the guests and VIPs eyes filled with greed.

"The scrolls before your eyes are three special scrolls. Verified by our inspector Lom, these scrolls are two level nine soul spells..." before Fergal could continue the guests and VIPs opened their eyes wide.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?" said one of the guest.

"Please don't joke about this." said one of the VIPs.

Fergal smiled at their responses because he already expected this outcome. "Yes, I'm not joking about this. These two scrolls are legit, level nine soul spells. On top of that this one in the middle is a level TEN soul spell."

*woahhh

The guests and the VIPs stood on their feet appearing ready to burn all the money they had, to get at least one of these scrolls.

These scrolls could greatly increase the manpower of a kingdom or a dynasty by a significant amount. Basically, an item that could change the course of history, at least at their level.

*ehem

"Good news is that we will sell these items separately so that all of you had the chance to get one." said Fergal.

Hearing what Fergal said, Lyon smirked (Yeah right, he made it sounds appealing, but the truth is, with this strategy he would gain more money than sell it in bulk. But most of it is my money so...)

Lyon was not the only one who had thought this way, most of the VIPs were too. The ones that got riled up were mostly the guests below.

(Now then, this will be fun, will you go for the level nine or will you go for the level ten? or just sacrifice level ten to have two level nine?) thought Lyon.

"Alright, the first item is a level nine soul spell 'Freezegaze', this attacking type spell is an ice-elemental soul spell, the user will gain a blue gaze that if someone looked into the user's eyes, it will have its soul frozen. Which means your enemy will be like a fish on a chopping board. However, if the person you blue-gazed had high soul resistance it might only frozen half or even not, at all. Okay, the starting bid is seven million with a minimum of one million increments per bid."

"Ten Million!" said Hog from below.

"Eleven Million!" said Lepe from the balcony.

"Sixteen Million." said someone from the balcony. She was wearing a long purple robe with a bamboo hat which covered her face along with a sheathed long curved sword like Lyon's on her left hand.

"Hey, that's Riku's balcony." said a poor guest.

"Looks like even the Mist Clan are interested in this." said another.

"Unlikely, I think this spell is for her own, not for her clan." said an observing guest.

"Sixteen Million going once." said Fergal.

"Nineteen Million." said Lepe nervously.

(Wow, I hope I can swim in those money later hehe.) thought Lyon happily.

"Hahaha what an idiot, daring to compete with her will only get your body cut off in many pieces." said one of the VIPs.

"Twenty Million." said Riku calmly, but her death aura was enveloping Lepe's balcony like a thick fog which was unseen to naked eyes.

Lepe's body suddenly grew rigid, he felt chill like the death god was already placing its blade on his neck. He couldn't voice out anything, his legs were shaking and finally, he fell down and wet himself.

With no other guest dared to bid against Riku, the spell finally won by her.

"The second level nine soul spell is 'Giant Soul', this is a defend type spell. The target of this spell will have its soul strengthen like that of an ancient being, a giant. That's right, this spell can be used on the user or whoever he or she pleases. Same price, same increments, made your bid." said Fergal.

In the end, the spell was sold at an astonishing twenty-two million, by the one person people could never guess. He was Hog, even though he wasn't on the balcony, he was rich due to the guild mission of hunting demon beast for a century,

"Then this is the final and probably the best item this auction ever sell, the level ten soul spell 'Hell's Recollection'. This is a special type spell, this spell could forcefully replay the memories of a dead body. No matter how old the dead body is, as long as there is a shred of soul left, it could be dug. I don't need to mention how important this is to a big clan or an empire I presume." smiled Fergal before he continued: "The starting price will be fifteen million, with the same increments like before."

Then before anyone could bid, someone shouted an unbelievable number that even Lyon was surprised. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ

"fifty million!"
