Chapter 225 Searching for demons 5 (1/2)
Mars gave Yel a kiss on the cheek before he said
”happy birthday”
”eh...? But my birthday is not for another 3 months?”
”do you want the spear?”
”...yes”
”then happy birthday”
”...thank you master”
Mars gave a nod, he was very satisfied with his gift giving technique and after he secured the mithril spear Mars spent some time flirting with Yel until something on the stage caught his attention, it was a big cage with a cloth covering it, Mars activated his [Energy: sense] and peeked past the cloth before he stood up from the couch
”bingo”
just then Vanessa began her speech
”for our final lot tonight we have the crown jewel from our conquest of the wasteland---”
Vanessa pulled of the cloth and exposed a cage that held a single person, she wore a traditional demon outfit that Mars would best describe as a belly dancer outfit and had a blindfold over her eyes, around her neck was a slave collar made of pure silver
”--- it's the demon princess of the wasteland, princess Velvet! Bidding starts at 10 million cel!”
Mars was the first to yell
”15 million cel!”
Velvet heard a familiar voice and 'looked' up at Mars from within the cage and covered her mouth as her eyes began to moisten, because now she knew that the nightmare she had faced over the last two months was about to be over but just as she felt her hopes go up she head another yell
”20 million cel!”
Mars gave a slight frown and looked over and saw the mage from earlier that had bidded on the class 16 magic beast core, the mage had an enchanted look on his face as he stared at Velvet, Mars yelled out
”30 million cel!”
the mage didn't even look away from Velvet as he yelled
”35 million cel!”
Mars felt his anger rising but decided to keep it civil for now and continued bidding
”40 million cel!”
”45 million cel!”
Mars clenched his fist, even though he had a lot of cel he was not so happy about them going to the NNE, Mars gave a slight smile and activated his presence
”[50 million cel!]”
the entire venue went silent as a dominating pressure descended onto it, this also finally caused the mage to look away from Velvet and over at Mars with a look of confusion on his face, he suddenly got cold feet about bidding and stopped up bidding Mars so after a few moments of silence Vanessa spoke up
”congratulations to the gentleman in the box number three for winning the princess of the wasteland!”
after that the auction ended without any problems and after a rather long ending speech from Vanessa, a servant showed up in Mars' box and showed him and Yel to a backstage room, after waiting for a little while a servant showed up with a card reader and spoke
”your total comes to 93 million cel, please swipe your crystal card here”
”...sure”
Mas swiped his crystal card and just like that he was 93 million cel poorer
”now then please follow after me, I will show you to your won lots”
Mars and Yel followed after the servant that first showed them to where they received the mithril spear and the magic beast core, Yel hugged her new spear and Mars hugged his new magic beast core
'this should be enough to bring me to level 114'
then Mars and Yel were shown to where the slaves were kept, Mars walked up to the fist cage and unlocked it, the demons inside walked out and one of them recognized Mars at once and called out
”son!”
Mars gave a smile and hugged the old demon before he said
”I'll explain later for now get into this portal”
”okay son”
Mars did the same with the other group of demons he had brought and then finally turned to Velvet's cage and walked over with a smile on his face
”sorry I'm late”
Velvet was all slimes as she 'looked' at Mars but she remained silent as suddenly she looked at something else, Mars followed her line of sight and saw Vanessa that walked over towards him with a smile on her face but before she reached Mars Yel walked in front of her and stared her down, Vanessa gave a wry smile and called out to Mars from where she stood
”Mars can I talk with you for a moment?”
Mars turned away from Vanessa and looked at Velvet before he spoke
”Vanessa did you know that the demons I brought this auction were my friends?”
”eh...? you friends?”
”yes and to you that sold them to me I feel both garditude and hate... beyond that we have nothing to talk about”
Vanessa's smile disappeared before she turned and walked away, Mars ignored her and opened the cage Velvet was in before he gave her a hand while bowing slightly
