Chapter 26 - Henrys Diary (2/2)

After listening to their conservations, Shad finally realized why the auction section was void with people. According to Lisa, the auction was supposed to start about an hour ago, but because she heard that Viviana was coming, she had to postpone the auction to an hour late. Furthermore, there Said to be a big auction today with many and rare items, treasures and rare magic book spells. As such this place was filled with all kinds of people.

The people that came earlier was kind of upset but they couldn't do anything about it, who made the Bennett family be that wealthy and powerful.

Just like the Kalel family, the Bennett family was an imperial noble family or ancient noble family. However, unlike the Kalel family who invests into politics, military affairs, and government offices, the Bennett family prides themselves into commerce and businesses. They were the richest family within the Empire and almost half of the shops in the business district belong to them. From the tailor shop to blacksmith shop and Auction house, they invest in everything and over the years, they have built a business empire covering the whole Djage empire.

As for Lisa, she was the young miss of that family and also the daughter of the head of the Bennett family. She was said to be a prodigy when it comes to commerce and business, and in her hands, the Bennett family's business continues to grow faster. At such a young age, she had a big say in every big decision in the family. Aside from that, she was also known the second most beautiful girl in the Empire.

As for why she was best friends with Viviana, it was still a mystery.

in less than a minute, Lisa guided them to the VIP box, reserved for only the two of them and the imperial knights.

After some chit-chat with Viviana, she left a hurry.

inside the VIP box, Shad was sitting next to his sister, watching the movements of everyone present below. the main hall of the auction house was filled with people. there was not even an empty seat.

As he was watching those people, Shad had a perplex look on his face. it was because there were many young ladies presents at the auction main hall. most of them were unfamiliar to him and seemed as though they're from someone else.

Seeing the expression on his brother's face, Viviana had already guessed what he was thinking and quickly cleared his doubt.

” Don't make that innocent face, all those ladies you've seen down there came for you. Tomorrow is your coming of age ceremony, which means you will be a full-fledged single adult with no fiancee or girlfriend. Those sly nobles came to participate in the ceremony and brought their daughters with them hoping you will fall for one of them. Even though you have no intention of fighting for the throne, your heaven-defying talent is enough for those young ladies to go head over heels for you. Not to mention, you've become the strongest junior mage throughout the whole empire.” Explained Viviana with a slight smile on her face.

Shad could not help but to shake his head as he listened to his sister explanation.

Finally, a person came out from behind the stage and everyone's eyes focused on the stage. Walking out was a girl that was around nineteen years old with a faint smile on her face and a plentiful stature. Her body exuded the aura of a mature woman and her appearance made everyone's eyes light up. This young girl was none other than Lisa.

”Hello friends, I welcome you to our Bennet Auction House. I am the director of this auction house, Lisa, as well as the auctioneer. We offer our sincere gratitude to everyone for picking our Bennet Auction House today and we also deeply apologized for the delay…..” After this girl name Lisa finished speaking with a faint smile, she got to the main point, ”Then, I won't be wasting everyone's precious time and we'll start the auction now. As the director of the auction, I want to first say that according to every one of friend's trust in our Bennet Auction House we will bring out the best items possible. Now, the auction will begin!”

”Now, we will begin the auction for our first item. It is something suited for warriors, and it is fire battle skill which is able to transform a warrior's battle qi into a fire battle qi, the battle skill is known as Dragon's Breath .”

Just like that, a storm of excitement instantly swept over the main hall of the auction house. In the main hall, countless warriors were completely stunned because they know how rare it is for a battle skill that can transform their battle qi into an elemental battle qi to appear within the continent. All warriors' battle qi are the same, however, it is pretty rare for them to possess battle qi with elemental property and those who possess them, have a huge advantage over those who don't because it can increase their overall strength by at least 10%. so one imagine how important this battle skill was.

” The bid will start at 10 000 platinum coins.”

15 000!” As soon as Lisa's voice fell, a person with a warrior appearance quickly stood up and loudly shouted his bid. Before coming here today, he never thought that he would be seeing such a powerful and rare battle skill he could never obtain even in his dreams. Not only him, no one thought it would happen.

”80 000 going twice...”

”80 000 going thrice...”

The metal hammer fell, closing the bid. Lisa said with a faint smile, ”Congratulations to this sir. This battle skill is yours now!”

80 000 platinum coins was a huge amount of money, it was enough to make 80 commoners to live a life of luxury for the rest of their lives. And, it was the price of the first items, no wonder those people were filthy rich.

As the Auction continues, Viviana kept asking Shad if he wanted any of the items so she can buy it for him, yet Shad was uninterested of them. After some time, Vivia was getting discourage and complained about his dull little brother.

Soon the auction was coming to an end and Lisa was going to present the final items.

” ladies and gentlemen, the auction is about to an end but before that, we are to present the final items. this item will make everyone's feel like as though their trip today was not in vain.

With that, she took a book from her magic pouch. it was more like a notebook.

” This Notebook was retrieved from the corpse of an ancient powerful warrior within the Great tower. the language in this book is something we've never seen before. with the resources of the Bennet family, we were still unable to find an expert to decipher the language in this book. some expert even said that language might have been the language of the Gods. however, we know one thing for sure and it's that book contains the secret and the Mystery of the Mystical Great tower.”

” The open bid for this book is 200 000 platinum coins.”

As soon as Lisa's voice fell, the auction hall became silent and everyone was in dazed after listening to the explanation of Lisa.

Within the VIP box, Shad was trembling with excitement for the first time when he saw that book.

”I want that book at all cost,” said Shad to Viviana with an impatient look on his face.

' God's language my ass, this book is clearly a diary and it is written in English.' thought Shad while he was looking at the title of the book.
