Chapter 31 - What Did You Say?



About three days after departure from Nostria. Lyon and the companions entered a road full of greenery. The cloud was traveling slowly and the wind crashed on to the chariot gently.

"We are entering Lecryst city in about two more hours." said Jugen.

"Yeah we need a good rest at the inn." said Lyon.

"Lecryst city is famous for it's auction, you might want to check it out." said Karina from the window.

Two hours later, the city gate came into view. There were other caravans or chariots beside them and the guards appeared to be accepting money from them.

"Big bro we have to pay a fee entrance to enter this city." whispered Jugen.

"Sure enough." said Lyon. (This is nothing new, I expected this to happen. Maybe there will be something interesting in the auction later on.)

"Stop, please pay the fee." said the guard.

"How much is it?" asked Lyon.

"Oh, you must be new here then, it's um ..... 2 golds" said the guard.

"But the chariot before us was only 1 gold." said Lyon.

"Those guys were a regular so of course it is only 1 gold." said the guard flatly.

"Somebody actually dares to stop me for entering Lecryst city?" said Karina suddenly from the window.

The guard was stunned seeing Karina, he began to sweat and staggered backward. The Golden Demon was a legendary figure in Lecryst city.

"L-L- ... Forgive me lady Karina! I didn't know it was you. You may pass no questions ask." said the guard hurriedly.

The chariot slowly entered the gate. Lyon was giving Jugen a look of doubt, only to see Jugen hand gesture meaning that he also didn't know what just happened.

"Looks like you are full of surprise Karina." said Kyoko.

"Oh please, this is nothing." said Karina modestly.

The chariot stopped in front of the inn along with other luxurious chariots.

The inn was the best in town, complete with high grade food and service. Even the horse could get treatment and the best fodder. Only a handful of people with high status, power and money could reside in this inn. The name of the inn was 'Luxury', this inn was not an ordinary inn, this inn was the only one that had branches all over Deo.

Only the members of the inn could get inside. The members would receive a card, that resembled the rank and facilities. There were bronze, silver, gold, and platinum, just like the currency.

*tap *tap *tap

The five of them walked inside with Karina leading the way, apparently she was already familiar with this inn.

She casually retrieve a golden card from her spatial ring and gave it to the receptionist.

"Ah Lady Karina, long time no see." said the receptionist girl.

"Yes, it's been a while, Stella." said Karina.

Stella was a petite girl with an attractive face. Her talkative personality was perfect for the job that handle customer directly.

"Ah you are not alone this time, who are these two beautiful women and young men?" asked Stella,

"The blonde hair boy is my little brother, Jugen." said Karina while pointing at Jugen.

"Hello." said Jugen.

"The woman with dual axe behind her is Ryona, and the fox girl is Kyoko." said Karina.

"Then is that young man your boyfriend? aww." asked Stella before getting pulled by the ear by Karina.

"No he is my student." said Karina.

"Well here is your key to your room and the girls, and this is the key to one other room." said Stella. before she continued: "By the way, you might want to go to the auction tonight, there are some interesting items, rumor say that there is one item from a half divine expert tomb."

Lyon and the rest of them shown an interest toward the info they just received. People would go crazy over an item found in half divine expert tomb. This lead to a question as why the owner of the item auctioned this item?

Inside the girls room, Lyon and Jugen were also inside to discuss the auction tonight.

"There will truly be hotshots from other places at tonight's auction." said Karina.

"I don't think it will be a threat to us with Royan and Kyoko here." said Lyon.

"Well that might be true, but do we have the money to buy things there?" asked Kyoko.

"Well I have one hundred thousand golds in my saving, so maybe we can pull trough something." said Karina.

"Don't worry about the money, I have an idea. but I need your help Ryona." said Lyon.

"You don't need to ask, L-Y-O-NN <3." said Ryona while hugging him.

"Okay, Jugen, get me five cloaks, five masks and bunch of scrolls." said Lyon.

"Okay big brother!"

--------------------------

The auction was owned by Treas family, and the Treas auction in Lecryst city was just one small branch of it. They had an amazing fame and fortune across Deo. The auction they threw was always fair and just. No matter what background one might be, they would think twice to rob the Treas Auction.

Today in front of the Treas Auction stood five people wearing a cloak and a white mask differ to one another. But one thing in common was that the mask resembled the human emotions.

The middle one wore an expressionless mask,.

The right end one was wearing a joyful mask.

Between the right and the middle one was the crying mask.

The left end wore a curious mask.

The last one wore a in love mask.

The guest receiver walked up to them normally, since he knew that most people wanted to keep a secret of their identity.

"I'm sorry sir or madam, our auction is still closed at this moment." said the receiver politely.

"We came here to sell something." said the middle one with a deep voice.

"I'm sorry, but if sir or madam want to sell something, yesterday was the last day to do so." said the receiver politely.

*pak

The middle one slammed a scroll on the receiver's hand. "Let your owner or whoever is in charge, to take a look at this."

"Y-Yes." the receiver instinctively run back inside to the manager's room.

--------------------------

Inside the manager's room was two old men. One was skinny while the other had pot belly. Apparently they were discussing the upcoming auction.

*knock

*knock

"Hmph! what is it?" said the fat old man.

*creak

"S-sorry to interrupt your discussion manager Fergal and inspector Lom, there are people who insisted to sell this scroll." said the receiver before giving the scroll to Well.

Fergal then opened up the scroll.

There was nothing exciting inside the scroll, there was only one spell written there, among with the drawing of a brand magic. Then he passed it to Lom to inspect the scroll.

The more he inspected the spell, the more his eyes became serious, and finally his hand was shaking that even Fergal notice this.

"What's wrong Lom?" said the fat Fergal.

"I-I-... IT'S A LEVEL NINE SOUL SPELL!" shouted Lom.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
