Chapter 383 - Changing an era (2/2)

The auction had begun, and the announcer returned to the stage once more. The first set of items were brought out, and it seemed to be some type of pills. The auctioneer explained the benefits of such pills, but it seemed to be a whole load of rubbish in Ray's opinion.

The pills were sold for four gold coins, and that's when Ray started to realize that the level of bidding here was a lot higher than the regular auction house.

All he could do was hope that his carriage sold for enough gold coins for him to use. The next item to come on stage was high-level beast armor. To be more precise, it was a pair of special boots. The equipment looked good, and if Ray could, he would have liked to purchase them. The only problem was, once again, he didn't know how much gold would be needed.

The boots were sold off for 15 gold coins, a lot higher than the item before it.

”And next, we have decided to add a special additional item that's not on the list. Surely we don't do this, but today we have chosen to make an exception since this item has come from our new VIP member.”

The others started whispering to each other as they looked over at Ray. They wondered just what item could be so precious to be suddenly added to the auction. At least one that they didn't have yet.

The sound of gears churning away could be heard in the background and suddenly out from the side. The carriage appeared onto the stage. A single man was riding it on top carefully. He had been testing it for a while at the back but hadn't quite gotten the hang of how to use it yet.

After seeing a large vehicle move onto the stage without the help of any horses or equipment, many of the VIP members had jumped up from their seats.

”This is a revolution. This type of technology will change human lives as we know it.” One said.

The auctioneer described how powerful the carriage was and explained how the top speed of the vehicle could even exceed that of horses.

”We need to buy it, whatever the cost. It will be sold to every merchant in Bronzeland.” Another said.

Steven, watching what was happening, was smiling away and could tell an intense bidding war was budding.

”Maybe I'll be able to buy a few things after all.” Said Ray.
