Primordial Soul's Rebirth

The Auction held by the Association sometimes presented some kind of items that could not be inspected by the Association. These items were something they couldn't determine the value of, so they let the buyers decide the price.

One such item was being sold today and Luna displayed the item on the stage.

"This item here is a strange piece of metal we found inside one of our mines. We couldn't find what it could be used for as we were not able to melt it no matter how much heat we applied to it.

We could have used force to try opening it up or breaking it up and making it into something, but the thing is that we only found a single piece of this metal in the whole gate."

Luna looked up at the compartments in the hall where the high-ranking guilds were seated.

"You can bid and buy this thing if you think it's useful," She smiled lightly, turned towards the general audience, and continued.

"Or you can just tell us the use of this item, which will get you 100,000 credit points for free."

The crowd started making a commotion as they heard her words.

100,000 might not be much for the high-ranking raiders, but it was for the general audience sitting there.

Luna did this because she didn't want to lose the chance to keep the item for the Association. She knew it was a weird item, but weird always means special when it comes to anything related to the gate.

This item was put here because the Association thought of selling it instead of it being kept in storage as they could at least get some money from selling it.

However, before anyone in the Audience could raise their hand to try their luck two buzzers rang one after another causing everyone to turn towards compartment number 1 and 2.

When people saw who it was, there was nothing but pin-drop silence in the hall. Luna was also surprised as she kept looking at the two compartments, but things didn't end there.

One after another, all the other compartments also made the same sound.

The general audience or the low-ranking raiders who wanted to try their luck silently put down their raised hands. They knew that the game had just turned serious, and they would simply be killed if they even stepped on that battlefield.

However, they were far from being sad, instead, they were excited to see the fight between those giants.

The buzzer that rang was the indication which showed that the one in the compartment was going to participate in the bet.

That was why everyone was surprised when the person in the first compartment rang the buzzer, except Alex, of course.

After all, the person in the first compartment was none other than Argon Hart who was said to be a man with the best eyes for people and items.

Be it the members of his guild or the items bought by him, every one of them shines brighter than others.

Now, some of you might question – Didn't he create an Empire? Where did the guild come from?

The answer to the first question is yes and for the second one, well, even though it might sound a bit arrogant and stupid, he just wanted to have the number one position in the guilds ranking.

There might be some other reason for that as well, but this is what he told to in an interview.

So, when the guy who was said to have the best eye for people and items pressed the buzzer everyone else did as well. They knew that if the item caught Argon's eye, then the item was special.

No one other than Argon noticed that Alice's compartment was the first one to press the buzzer, even if they were just a second faster.

Luna, who was standing on the stage had looked towards Alice's compartment with a deep look and then she pressed a button below the mic in her hand.

This action was not noticed by anyone as everyone still had their mind occupied with one thing or another. But if someone were to focus then they would notice that one or two people who were supposed to be the Auction staff entered the hall in civilian dress.

This is what Luna wanted as she would do this when she thinks some item is better kept to themselves rather than sold. Right now, the value of the strange metal is elevated even higher in her mind as she also heard about Argon's feats.

Those people were going to increase the bid whenever the bids were about to be concluded, which means they were going to use the Association's money to buy an item from the Association, for the Association.

Looking at the situation, Luna smiled and finally spoke in a melodious voice, bringing everyone out of their thoughts.

"Looks like there is going to be a big competition for a small item, so let's start the bidi-"

"2 million credits."

Before Luna could complete her words, she was cut off by a calm, mature, and deep voice that would make people automatically follow that person.

It was Argon who raised the first bid.

The hall turned silent once again. Many were shocked, especially the general audience as the first bid itself was something they couldn't even earn in years.

"2 million and 500,000 credits!"

Then a loud voice was heard which caused many people to press their ears with their hands. It was clear that the guy who spoke used mana to amplify his voice.

.........................................

"That metal is called Starshard, and it is a rare metal that is very useful for any profession, but mainly mages," Alex spoke.

Alex was explaining the details about the item as the whole thing was going on because he knew he needed to tell them how good the item was so that they could decide how much money they should spend on this item.

"This metal can't be melted normally with flames as it only has one weak point that needs to be concentrated at, and once you find it, melting the metal is as easy as child's play.

Then there are the uses which include mana absorption, 100% mana conductivity, toughness, flexibility, etc.

If you want to make use of this metal then you need a good blacksmith, and when I say good, it means better than any blacksmith you will find in this world."

\\\\Alex stopped for a second and let them absorb his words.

"Where will we find that blacksmith?" Ann asked this question as even if she was shocked, she knew they were not in a situation she could dilly dally.

"That is where I come in. You guys don't need to worry about the blacksmith, I can make something for you guys even if it takes some time." Alex spoke.

This was all they heard as the girls exchanged glances and nodded their heads before they placed their first bet.

"5 million."

Alice voices out and just after that another feminine voice is heard.

"5.5 million."

Alex turned towards the compartment where the voice came from, but then he raised a brow.

It looked like he found something interesting, but then he just dismissed it and focused on the Auction.
