13 Thousand Arms Auction House (2/2)
”Welcome to the Thousand Arms Auction house honored guests” a beautiful woman wearing a kimono greeted the two of them, she had a bright smile on her face just as her hair was made into a bun style.
”I am Yuki honored guests is there anything I can help you with”
”Ah yes my co-worker and I came across a magic core, so we thought we sell and have ourselves a drink ”
Uncle Dior didn't take off his hood but he conversed with Yuki like talking to a good friend which made Yuki smile brighter.
”Of course, of course, let's go to the reception so we could appraise it and pay you a good price”
They went straight to the reception and Uncle Dior took out the spotless red magic core they got from the black panther
Yuki's bright smile was replaced with shock and surprise she lost her previous demeanor and looked at the magic core like a kid drooling for a candy
”Is is that a great master magic core” her eyes sparkled while she looked at the magic core and reached out her hand
Uncle Dior knew she wanted to touch the magic core but he didn't give it to her
”Yes I want to know how much I'll get by selling this”
Yuki recovered her senses as she took back her hands and cleared her throat
”I am not authorized enough to make this transaction so if the honored guests allowed me I can bring my senior to help you in a second
”Alright we wait here”
Yuki gave them a happy smile and went inside the door behind the reception, the duo looked around the hall and waited for Yuki's senior.
After a while, Yuki brought two men with her, one was a bald old man in a golden robe and the other was a middle-aged man with short white hair in a brown robe, the white-haired man was the manager according to the badge he was wearing on his left chest side.
”Yuki these are the gentlemen with the great master magic core?”
The manager asked Yuki
”Ah yes sir they are the one”
”Gentlemen if you could please show us the magic core please”
The manager reached out his hands towards them
”Ok here it is” uncle Dior handed over the magic core to the manager
The manager looked at the core carefully and gave it to the old man behind him, as the old man took the core from the manager's hands and held it over his head and looked through the light then he weighed it in his hand and closed his fist tightly.
The manager and Yuki looking at the old man expectantly just as the old man nodded and confirmed
”Yes this is a genuine mid-level great master magic core and I'll bet it came from a black panther”
The manager looked happy but not as happy as Yuki, it seemed she get a commission from transactions made by the customers she handles
”Gentleman we could buy this from you for let's just say” the manager considered for a bit
”Two hundred silver coins” but before Uncle Dior could respond to the manager's offer
” you can also choose to auction the core but we don't guarantee about the selling price”
Uncle Dior acted as he considers the options
”What if no one buys the magic core in the auction? do we need to pay you for your troubles?”
”No you don't have to but of course there will be a small fee if your magic core is sold”
Finally, they had a way into the Auction to see Minister Brian.
”We try our luck in the auction”
Yuki was a little disappointed in her customer's decision but she couldn't do anything so she retrieved a token which was made of pure silver and handed over to uncle Dior.
”I'll take this magic core to the auctioneer, Yuki you take these gentlemen to the auction hall”
The manager left carrying the magic core with the old man while Yuki led Don and Uncle Dior to the auction hall on the second floor and showed them the door.
”Minister Brian here I come” Don calmly said and opened the door.
