23 Trouble at the Astala Estate (2/2)
”Hello welcome to the Mages Guild, how may i help you? ” A young elf girl asked while reading her book only half looking up at them. ”My name is Alice i came from the Rudham Kingdom and wish to learn some wind magic if i can, ” Alice said hoping to learn something useful.
”Ah well currently all of our Wind element instructors are out at the Auction hall either selling items or trying to purchase items, if you come back after then i would be happy to scheduled a lesson for you. ” The elf girl said getting back to her book.
”Well we were going to go there anyways we may as well go, ” Yumi said taking Alice by the hand and leading her to the Auction hall. ”I actually have two scimitars i obtained from a dungeon that have decent stats I would like to put up for auction, can you help me? ” Alice said following Yumi.
Arriving at the Auction hall and standing in line to speak to an organizer the two chatted and Alice talked about her time in the dungeon and about the last boss. ”Ugh no wonder you agreed to come with me, how could they just leave you like that? ” Yumi said as she started to plot revenge on the group that left her dear Alice for dead. ”Shush I have already forgiven them all that matters now is that I am continuing my journey. ” Alice said as they walked up to the gentlemen in charge of listing new items.
”Please take your item out and set it on the table so I can appraise the item, this Auction hall only takes items of D rank or higher. Anything below that rank wont be scene. ” The young man said casually sitting down waiting to see what Alice has to sell.

Seeing the items the young man just shrugged and took the items, ”D rank weapon set, it just barely passes the only real factor to look at is the stat boost. Keep this ticket on you and turn it in after the auction is over, if your items sell then you can collect your money after we take a 8% cut. ” He said handing Alice a ticket before showing the two into the main hall.
”Where should we sit, ” Alice said completely clueless where to go. ”Since my father donates a lot of items and money to this place we have our own VIP section to sit in, ” Yumi said leading Alice upstairs.
Walking through the long hallway they eventually arrived at their room, as soon as the door opened Alice was able to clearly see the same type of luxury as the Astala estate. A crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, the furniture was made from polished wood with fluffy silk seating, the room even had a fully stocked bar with very expensive looking liqueur. ”Does everything your family has look so expensive? ” Alice questioned.
”It is to be expected from the Duke who saved the Kingdom in financial crisis you learn to live with it, ” Yumi said just shrugging it all off since it was second nature to her.
”There are a ton of people here, must mean that a lot of good things are being auctioned off today, maybe I will be able to get a good weapon to use on our adventures. ” Yumi said looking hopeful as she leaned back in her chair slowly kicking her legs like a little kid who couldn't reach the ground would.
”What kind of weapon do you prefer to use? I have only seen you with a sword so far, ” Alice questioned trying to picture Yumi with different kinds of weapons. ”I am most skilled using a Kyoketsu-shoge. It is a weapon that has a double edged blade, with another curved blade attached near the hilt at a 45–60 degree angle. This is attached to 12 to 18 feet of rope, chain, or hair which then ends in a large metal ring. ” Yumi said as she pulled out her old broken one.
”That's new, i have never seen a weapon like that before, ” Alice said inspecting the weapon wondering how you would even fight using it.
”It is a weapon from my ancestors Kingdom far far away, my father says i could try to travel there but i may not make it before i die of old age, ” Yumi said storing her broken weapon away again.
Alice sat back in her chair trying to visualize her and Yumi fighting together in a party with her using such a weird weapon, 'It's no use I just cant see that weapon being used to fight monsters. ' Alice thought to herself waiting on the auction to start.
”Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for gathering this evening at our humble Auction Hall. As many of you already know we have quite the list of items being Auctioned today, many of the high ranking families have decided to join us today for this Auction as well. I will now explain the rules for those who are new and do not know yet. If you bid on a item and do not have the fund to pay then you shall be sent to the mines to work off your debt, after your debt is paid you will receive your item and be set free. There is to be no altercations in the Auction Hall, as always we have two A rank adventures contracted with our Hall to put a stop to anything you may cause. As soon as you're done purchasing you may head to the receptionists at anytime to pay for the items you have won bids on. Anyone breaking these rules will be subject to a fine and or banishment from the Hall. ” The Auctioneer said speaking loudly and clearly.
”Without further delay let us get on with the Auction..”
