13 My deduction abilities frighten me (2/2)

八(＾□＾*)

...….

The annual auction of the auctioning hall is one of the most prominent events in the Black Rock City and its neighboring cities.

Hence, several people in rich and ostentatious clothing could be seen entering the premise of the hall to buy items of their liking.

Not to look shabbier than these people, I and Lily wore clothes which were worth more than their net worth.

I mean, why encounter an arrogant guard by dressing commonly when you can meet a sexy receptionist instead?

Besides, I have a lot of clothes in my arsenal and see no reason to hide them.

Ignoring Lily's tight grip around my arm, I followed the sexy receptionist who came to receive me till the top floor of the auctioning hall.

She even gave me a wink.

Ha ha.

This lord is finally living the Riajuu life.

… Why am I feeling a chill behind my back?

Must be my imagination.

Anyways, the event followed smoothly.

So smoothly that I quickly felt sleepy.

After barely managing to contain my sleepiness, the auctioneer finally called out the thing I was waiting for.

”And next is the mascot of our auctioning hall- The luminous Crystal.”

”No one knows the use nor ability of this crystal other than the fact that it cannot be destroyed.”

”However, it was excavated from the ruins of Evergarden. Due to the difficulty of obtaining this mysterious crystal, the starting bid is 500 low grade spirit stones.”

Unlike the deafening bids of the previous items, this one was met with a resounding silence.

Not surprising I guess.

Who in their right mind would buy a single crystal whose only use was equivalent to a lighting stone costing only 5 low grade SS?

No one.

Unless, they knew the use of it that is.

That stone is a rare item even in the heavenly plane which goes by the name of Luminous fairy.

As many of you may have guessed already, the crystal is used to create weapons.

In particular, light weapons.

I can use it to create one for Lily and me.

The only catch of creating a weapon through this crystal is that it needs to be refined in a special way which is only popular in the heavenly plane.

I wonder how Young Che got to know about it?

Although, I think it probably has something to do with that grandpa who stays in the ring he wears every time.

As for how I know he has something in his ring?

Unless he has a serious case of depression or mental illness (which he may have), I can't see any other reason behind him talking to his ring and replying to it every day.

In the trial alone, he did it 5 times.

I wonder how other people ignore it.

As for how I know it is a grandpa?

Although it shames me to say this, I know Young Che well.

If it was a beauty, he would occasionally tease it.

If it was a handsome lad, he would treat him as a semi-BL brother.

But he treats him normally, which means that he must be a grandpa.

Damn.

My deduction capabilities even frighten me.

I thought with pride as I placed my bid and smiled at the sexy receptionist who brought the crystal later.

For some reason, my disciple was staring at me.

I wonder why?
