223 The Oracle (1/2)
”You said, slave traders? How many auction houses are there?”
”Only one auction house, your majesty, multiple slave traders come to this auction house to auction their slaves ”
”Hmm, what's this auction house called?”
”Unicorn Hair”
”How does someone become a member?”
Thanks to the dragon king and Reghys, he didn't lack wealth and since attacking an auction house that might serve the most powerful beings in the may have some unknown consequences, he planned to take a subtle approach first before picking a fight with the auction house.
”That too, I don't know, your majesty”
”Then I should personally go and ask them”
WIth a heavenly level being like Reghys beside him, he was almost untouchable and since he was not going to a battle, he didn't worry about his current state.
”Can you release him now?”
Don whispered to Reghys as she closed her eyes and muttered something under her breath.
When Reghys opened her eyes, the glimmer in Clemo's eyes disappeared.
Lord Clemo saw Don and Arwen staring at him and he had no idea why
”Your majesty?”
Lord Clemo tilted his head like a puppy and asked
”He won't remember anything”
Reghys waved her hand.
”Let's go back to the castle”
Don stood up to leave the tea house as Reghys and Arwen followed him behind.
”What just happened?”
Lord Clemo asked himself and rushed behind them.
***********************************
Just as Don returned to his castle, he saw Ken and a blonde-haired girl waiting for him in the throne hall.
”Its Amaryll”
Arwen whispered to Don as Ken and Amaryll bowed
”Your majesty”
”Ken, Amaryll”
Don nodded at them as he climbed the stairs and slouched on his throne lazily.
”Lord Ken, where did you come from? And this is”
Lord Clemo looked confusedly at Amaryll
”Meet Amaryll, Lord Clemo, she��s going to oversee the hotels and the tea houses”
”Oh?”
In Lord Clemo's eyes, she seemed too young to run these precious establishments but since Don himself said so, he wasn't going to question.
”Miss Amaryll”
Lord Clemo slightly bowed as Amaryll let out a gentle smile as a sign of respect for Don's subordinate.
”Lord Clemo”
”Leave us alone”
Don said as Lord Clemo gave a quick bow and left the throne hall leaving them alone.
After seeing Lord Clemo leaving the throne hall, Ken stepped towards Don and retrieved a diamond-shaped metal that had metal wires coiled around it and some kind of blue liquid flowing inside.
”Your majesty, you're not going to believe this”
Ken couldn't hide his excitement as he held the device out towards Don.
”I see you attached that weird thing into the glimmer”
As usual, he attached the glimmer to the chain on the neck and placed it on his chest. The new glimmer was lighter than the previous one and the surface of this glimmer had a cold chill to it.
Besides the lightweight and the chill, he didn't feel much different but when he looked at Amaryll, his eyes went wide.
Reghys wondered what made him surprised while Ken rubbed his hands in excitement.
”Amaryll, are you still wearing the mask? And you're a peak master?”
Hearing Don, she was confused and shocked at the same time as she rubbed her cheeks and pinched them.
”The mask is still on and how do you know I reached the peak master level?”
Don's mind froze hearing Amaryll as he looked at Arwen and then, it happened again. The effects of the magical mask disappeared before Don's eyes as he could see Arwen's real face with elven features and he somehow sensed Arwen's cultivation level as it just appeared in his mind.
”Peak Great master?”
Arwen wondered why he looked so confused and shocked but he slowly nodded.
”Tell me what's happening?”
Don heard Reghys's voice and when he turned to look at her, he almost fell from his throne as he saw a huge golden scaled dragon staring back at him.
And just like before, Reghys's cultivation level appeared in his mind like a flash. Even though he knew Reghys's cultivation level, the sudden thought felt different as he could even tell that soon, she would reach the mid-level.
He was somehow able to sense it and what more importantly, he could see her real self.
”Ken, what is this?”
He sensed Ken's cultivation level as the Mid Master when he looked at him.
”Your majesty, I've never seen such a device in my life or even heard such thing exists”
When they were in the underground with Aathreya, he thought he only grabbed the golden elixirs but he accidentally took a rusty circular device and a few strands of hair.
