Chapter 370 - The real auction begins (2/2)

Unknowing to him that Ray had tried that and miserably failed.

”Well, I don't think we need to ask any more questions.” The bald headed man snapped his fingers and in came a mage wearing yellow robes. In his hand he held a crystal ball. The ball was placed on the table where Ray sat along with the card.

”All you need to do is place your hand on both the card and the crystal ball. It will register your magical or Ki pattern into the Ball and link it onto the card. Every pattern is unique to each individual. Once linked the ball will only light up if the registered person is holding onto the guard and ball. This is all for your safety and no harm will come to you.” The bald headed man explained.

Ray did as asked. He wasn't too afraid of the whole thing being a trap. So far the system had been quite reliable even if it was made by that Witch. IT always warned him if something bad was going to happen.

The process didn't take long and was complete. He was given a gold card and some of the rules were explained to him. Just as Bob was allowed to bring one guard inside with him. Ray would be allowed two to the VIP part of the auction.

He wouldn't be allowed to attend today's one as they needed his time to register in the system, but auctions were done daily, and he assured Ray that the best items came through here.

”So about these items, why display fake ones?” Ray asked.

”All these items at some point had originally passed through the auction house. Replicas were made before they were sold off and these items were kind of the pride of the place.” The bald man explained. ”Anyway, if you want, there's still time for you two to catch the end of the auction, and now that I know you are not a Silverfish. Feel free to bid on whatever takes your fancy.”

With that all done, Ray and Bob were led out of the room and back into the auction house. The group of people were surprised to see them return after being taken out like that. Many of them were regulars and when a person was taken out, not many returned.

They knew this meant that Ray really was the real thing.

Ray had already achieved his goal of being invited to the VIP area. He no longer needed to waste his gold and was now just watching to see if the last few items would catch his eye.

While doing so Bob was looking at Ray in a different light after what he had just seen. At first, he thought that perhaps Ray was just some brute, a strong Adventurer but that didn't seem to be the case.

'How did he get so much gold, Who is this guy?' Bob thought. He started to think about Ray and it was even strange he had such an advanced carriage. It now made sense why he also would have so much gold. But if he was someone famous and had this much wealth. Then Bob was sure he should have heard or seen his face somewhere.

But when looking at him, there was nothing that came into his mind.

”Ladies and gentleman, it has been a wonderful evening tonight, but I'm afraid that the auction must come to an end as always. But as usual, we leave a certain event right to the end.” As the announcer said these words, Ray could see some of the men and women rubbing their hands or licking their lips. Just what was about to come on stage.

”Let us begin tonight's Slave auction!”

On stage, walked on ten chained up slaves. They were the same group of people that Ray had seen outside and it included the girl that he had saved previously.
