In a Different World with a Smartphone

Chapter 530

The Felsen Central Museum, which serves as the auction venue, had a large hall for the auction.

Surprisingly (if I may say rude), there were many guests, each of whom had already arrived at a designated seat at the venue. Are these all participants? They all look rich...

"Er, our seats are..."

The cuckoo pulls the sleeve to the next Frey. Nh, that way?

Father, there's His Majesty King Felsen.

Huh?

Looking at Frey's pointing finger, there was probably someone who thought it was King Felsen waving his hand at us.

Probably because he was wearing a domino mask. He's hiding his identity because of his patience.

I wanted to go and say hello, but it was quite far away, and even though I was trying to hide my identity, the king might find out, so I only kept it to a light meeting.

Let's go say hello again when the auction is over. We need to find our seat. If I had, the auction would have started.

Looking closely, like King Felsen, you can see the aristocrats in masks. Probably troublesome people if they find out they won the bid. With a husband whose wife is holding his wallet.

Our seat was near the stage in the middle. Quite a nice seat. Here you can see what's up for auction. The seat was marked with the same number tag "Paddle" as the seat number. Give me this and I'll show you my intention to bid. Looks like it's not that different from the auction on Earth.

Sit alongside Frey and reopen the inventory of auctions handed over.

Not only magic objects and artifacts, but also artwork and antiques will appear in this auction.

Just looking at it, I don't have anything I want.

The catalogue only contains a detailed picture of the product and its origins, and it doesn't say how much to bid for. It seems that there is a minimum amount required by the seller, and the bid cannot be won unless it arrives.

"So, are you really going to win this bid...?

I once again saw "Hero Darmuel's Armor" in the catalogue. You really don't like your armor... I'm going to be cursed. No, I'm cursed.

"Well, the curse can be broken by de-cursing magic....."

"I can't! De-cursing is worth less! Because it makes sense to be what it was then!

"Er...."

I don't understand what my daughter is saying. Normally, I'm afraid of curses. I don't know if this is what you want, but I don't know what to do if it's your real daughter.

Frey suddenly raised her voice as she looked through the catalogue.

"Ah!? Matrak's dagger is on sale! Ukuku...! I want this too... but I need the money...! Money...! What the hell!

Why are you looking at me like this? Well, I know what you're trying to say.

"... you can't be so expensive."

"Father, I love you!

Ah, Hilda's mad at me... That's how many nails I got. My daughter gets mad at me for being sweet...

When I got back, the auction began with the auction representative Auctioneer.

The first one that came out was a pot I didn't know well. It seems to be a work of art about 3,000 years ago. The auctioneer explains that it belonged to the King of the Destroyed Land and that there was a war over this pot, and the country was destroyed as a result.

Who wants such a bad luck? As I was wondering, bills rose one after the other from the participants, and the bid was quickly won at a fairly high price.... I don't understand.

After that, a variety of unusual items are listed, and the auction heats up.

It looks like we can only pick up gold coins in this auction. The earth feels like at least 100,000 yen. Well, it's annoying to get a silver bullshit. Thanks to this, the amount goes up in the meantime.

Some of them have a huge amount of money, and I suspect that the people here have a strange sense of money. They say hobbies cost money, but this is what happens when you go deeper.

"Father! Next! Next is Matrak's dagger! Absolutely!

... is my daughter okay?

How worried I was, the next product was brought into the venue.

It is a dagger. There is a slit in the middle and the right and left blades are separated. It's like a two-fold fork that stabs fruit. Is this Matrak's Dagger?

An auctioneer on stage with a magic device like a loudspeaker starts talking.

Once prosperous mercenary kingdom katsun. Matrak, a brave general, was called the King's right arm in that turn. This is the dagger that Matrak is supposed to have given to his young son. The blade is mythrilled and decorated with Orihalcon. More than a thousand years later, the glow has not been lost at all. Worth it or not! Let's start the auction!

"Hundreds!

Hundreds of gold coins!? Ten million yen for such a dagger!?

I was stunned by the sudden release of the money. [M] I can't believe it... I think I can make it too...

"Ten!

"This is 120!

"Twenty-five!

Eh...!? It's going to cost more and more...? Do you want this much?

"Father, Father! We need to raise the number tag Paddle!

"No, I told you not to be expensive..."

"If Matrak's dagger starts with a hundred gold coins, it's a conscientious price! Somebody's gonna get it if we don't get it up!

... is that so? I don't know, but maybe that's what Frey said.

In fact, the money Frey got by defeating the Dragon is higher than that. Maybe it's the cheaper one.

"Well then... 130,"

"Thirty-five!

Another customer put it on before I finished the money. [M] The fat nobleman who raised the bill looked at us and smiled. Mh... are you motivated?

"One hundred and forty"

"150 pieces!

"One hundred and sixty"

"Hy, 165 pieces!

"170 pieces"

"Seventy... two!

The momentum of the fat aristocracy has dropped. Probably close to the limit. At some point, only me and the fat aristocrats were competing. Let's jump up here and decide.

"200 sheets."

"Kh...!

The fat nobleman sat on the chair in frustration without raising the bill. Fu, I bought it. No, I won.

Then the number tag 65 won the bid for 200 pieces!

Khan! and auction hammers echo through the venue.

"I did it! I won the bid!

... oh no. I got on my feet and got on my feet. I didn't expect to buy it for twice the amount.

Frey is happy, but this definitely won't make Hilda angry... Your wife's smiling angry appearance makes her tremble unexpectedly.

Well, King Felsen of the same weapon mania didn't compete. Why would you do that?

"His Majesty King Felsen would be less interested if it weren't for the weapons and armor that heroes and braves were equipped with. Matrak's dagger wasn't Matrak's own..."

Speaking of which, there was such an explanation. He gave it to his young son. That's why. Things themselves are good.

Anyway, 20 million yen per dagger... Well, I don't think it's much money. Even if my daughter says it's sweet, I can't argue with it...

But this kid can usually earn more on his own if he wants to... We don't give you pocket money.

We're feeling a lot weird about money, too. I can't talk to these people easily.

Afterwards, there was a surprising amount of money auction, and inside me, "I'm going to make a lot of money auctioning...? The nasty idea of 'has brought Kamaha.

My Storage and Babylon's Warehouse are full of useless magic tools and materials. I wonder if releasing these would be a lot of money.

I'm not interested, and I think there are people who want it. [M] I wonder if there would be an unexpected amount in the auction format.

Why don't we do business with the Kings at the next World Congress?

Now I will go to the next product. An artificial magic stone used in the ancient magical kingdom. Never before have we discovered anything this big. Unfortunately, the magic has already run out, but it's also worth a lot as a gem. "

So the auctioneer brought in a huge red crystal stone about the size of a balance ball.

Artificial Magic Stones? Surely it's an artificial magic stone made in the ancient magical kingdom, right?

Magic Stones can accumulate, amplify, and release magic. I used it to increase the power of magic and power magic tools, but even during the Magic Kingdom era, I couldn't find any natural magic stones and it was of high value.

Instead, the artificial magic stone was created. However, the artificial magic stone had drawbacks and could not be accumulated except for the magic that had been put in it at the time of production. In other words, it is disposable.

Magic cannot be stored in artificial magic stones. Therefore, even if it is found from ruins, it will not help if there is no magic left.

... well, to tell the truth, my doctor has made artificial magic stones that can accumulate. They are used in the Tower or as a power source for Babylon.

Further refinements to the artificial magic stones he made will bring them closer to the G Cube of Golem. It captures magic from the atmosphere and light, amplifies it, and turns it into a power source. Fraser's wafer has a similar effect.

That stupid artificial magic stone must have been used in factories and special facilities. It's just a beautiful stone without magic, but it's worth it.

Let's start the auction!

"One thousand seven hundred!

I begun with 170 million yen!? I can't use it anymore, and it's not even a natural gem, this! It's just a beautiful, big stone, isn't it? I think it has some historical value...

But to my surprise, the amount goes up again and again.

They said it was worth a lot as a jewel, but it's true that artificial magic stones aren't often this big.

It's just a glass ball from me... But to see this enthusiasm, I think the seller is more certain than I am. [M] I wonder if the value of things is rarity and demand.

"One thousand eight hundred eighty!

"One thousand eighty-five!

"2,000."

The venue groans at a fixed amount of money. Looking back, the nobleman wearing the blue domino mask, who was right from our seat, raised the number tag "Paddle".

2,000 gold coins. Two hundred million yen? You're a lot fat.

"Two thousand... a hundred!

A flashy teething merchant on the opposite side raised his voice as he squeezed it out, and the venue sighed again.

The merchant, who seems to have money anyway, peeks at the cheerful face that rises up at the venue.

"3,000."

The venue groans further up to the amount released by the masked aristocrats without getting a haircut. The out-toothed merchant trembled in anger and sat in his seat with regret, throwing a number tag, Paddle.

Then 3,000 gold coins is the winner of the bid!

Khan! And the mallet sounds.

3,000 gold coins. Three hundred million yen. Isn't that the best amount today? If magic had accumulated, it would have been a huge sum.

But there are 300 million yen jewels on earth, and it may not surprise you. There's money somewhere.

"I can't believe I'm paying 3,000 gold for that."

Yeah, I wonder if there's a mirror here.

I want to crush Frey's words back as they were.

And then, looking behind me, I saw a nobleman in a blue domino mask take his beloved away from the venue. Apparently, he's only interested in that artificial magic stone, and he's not interested in anything else. Well, normally, if I spend 300 million yen, can I participate anymore?

The tight teeth of the merchant also left. Was he after a single magic stone?

The auction continued afterwards, but my index finger didn't move much. I was wondering if it would be a good gift for my wives or a pair of necklaces, but in my case, I have to give them nine.

Well then, the last thing I want to do is wear the legendary armor of that hero, Dermuël! This armor is cursed to corrode you! Magic armor that inflicts suffering and great power on Summoners!

Spooky blue and black armor was brought to the venue. Is this the armor of the hero Darmuel? Looking up close, I knew it was creepy. Are you sure you want to win this...?

"Father! Don't lose to His Majesty King Felsen!

"No, this item will win from Frey's money, so you can't exceed the limit?

There's a limit to the amount Frey got by hunting the Dragon. I can't help it if it costs more than that.

Suddenly the maximum amount of money you have may be able to win the bid without a competing buyer, but I think it would be better to raise it in small increments if you could get it as cheap as possible.

Now let's start the auction!

"500!

500 pieces!? From 50 million yen. Don't do this...

"Five hundred and ten!

Let's get ten more. The person who raised the number tag "Paddle" was still His Majesty King Felsen.

You got a little fight going on over there? I wonder if the unit of one million yen is a small amount.

"520 pieces!

530!

Oh? I thought King Felsen and my Weapon Mania's daughter were the only ones who wanted this horrible armor. I wonder if they call friends...

"Father! Move it up! They're taking it!

"I know... 540!

I'll take ten pieces at a time. Frey's gold holds eight King's coins. Eight hundred pieces of gold, about 80 million yen.

I don't want to go that far...

Six hundred!

One of the people who was raising the number tag "Paddle" jumped the amount. Damn it, if you do that, everyone else will come up!

"630!

"670 sheets"

Look, I don't know what's really going on, but 'I can still afford it? with the stance'.

"Seven hundred and fifty!

When I was in a hurry, His Majesty King Felsen suddenly jumped the money. [M] Hey, are you okay!? Why don't you use it so much and get mad at the Chancellor later?

The sudden jump lowered the number tag "Paddle" of several people. I got off. Oops, I think I got off too if I didn't get on any more.

"Seven hundred sixty!

Ten more! I think I can hear the voice. "800 pieces at once!" If you win the bid, it's ok, but there's also a way to give up if you put it on even more...

Seven hundred and seventy!

Huh? King Felsen has also put ten on board. Probably saw the other side as close to its limit. Let's go somewhere between 1 and 8!

"Eight hundred!

"Nh, gu...!

His Majesty King Felsen said, "Really? Look at me with the eyes. Eventually, he raised the number tag" Paddle "and shouted as if he had decided.

"850 pieces!

Mm, gu. That's right... I can see King Felsen's face in front of my eyes. Uwet...

When I looked at Frey, I was shaking my neck unfortunately. That's right, there's nothing more...

I can give you an extra sword, but there was something about the dagger just now, and if I join Frey any more, Hilda will really get mad at me.

I lowered my number tag with a sigh.

Then the bidder with the number 25 will win with 850 gold coins!

Khan! and a wooden hammer echoes through the venue. His Majesty King Felsen's face turned into a smile drawn from Doya's face when he said he won the bid. Quite impossible, that's... I'm in a hurry to talk to the people around me, but maybe it's not enough.

Even if he were king of one country. I don't suppose I can't pay you, but I'm pretty sure you're over schedule. I can say it's my fault, but... don't.

"Ugh... in this case, I should have endured Matrak's dagger..."

Nh... well, if it hadn't been for that dagger, I would've put it on. The difference between Frey cheating on something else and King Felsen's readiness for it.

I wonder if he was ready to see His Majesty the Blue King.

Well, it's okay if you just get the dagger.

Guests leave the venue after one auction. One day, the winning bidder will go to the exchange to pay and receive the goods.

Then we'll get Matrak's dagger, too.

? ? ?

The three men who came out of the auction hall walked out with the goods they had.

The item was in a large box with tight cushioning. Of the three, a big man who is about to reach two meters in height is holding it with great care.

"Didn't you ever pay 30 king coins for something like this? You should've attacked the venue and blew it up."

A boy with grey hair complains to a threaded young man who leads. The young man who had previously hidden his face in a domino mask looked back with astonishment.

"What if I raid the venue and get scratched? And here's a Felsen called the Magic Kingdom. I don't know what kind of magic equipment is stored in the venue or the merchandise. Until I thought I'd be sure to get it with a straight shot."

A young man with brown hair and threads walking in front replied sighing at his short-circuited companions. Thank you. This boy is short circuited. I hope it doesn't pull my leg.

"Besides, there was a little trouble there."

King Brunhilde, Winter Night of the Moon. A world mediator who inherits the legacy of ancient civilization. And the enemies of the apostles of the devil.

The young man with the thread, Indigo, was relieved that he had successfully completed his mission. If they had discovered who they were and entered the battle, they would definitely not have obtained this artificial magic stone and would have had to retreat.

If that happens, I won't have the face to see Scarlet, and I'll have to rethink my plans.

"It didn't look that strong. Hey, Hazel?

"Ohh, ooh, smell, do you hear me?

"Don't hang up, please hold it securely. Never drop it."

Wow.

The big man called Hazel held the big wooden box back firmly.

A few men stood in front of three people trying to move out of the unseen alley. Indigo looked at the opponent surprisingly and saw that he was a toothed merchant who had argued with the artificial magic stone earlier, and the strong men who were the guards who had acquired the weapon.

A merchant with teeth hoisted the edge of his mouth and laughed lewdly.

"Quiet, give me the box. If you don't want to hurt your eyes."

Soon the men with the weapons appeared behind them, and the three of them were surrounded.

"What are these guys?

"Probably trying to kill us and take the Magic Stone. It's a shallow idea that comes up with scum. It would be no use explaining that this is not an artificial magic stone."

A young man with gray hair answers. In response to the words, the boy gladly threw a spear out of his waist. In an instant, the spear stretches and turns into a metallic purple spear.

"Does that mean you don't mind killing? What is self-defense? It's a bad thing to take people's belongings, right?

"But, smell it?

"Take the box. [M] I've told you many times, but don't drop it. Let Orchid clean up the garbage."

The three plain merchants found themselves surrounded by men with weapons.

"Kill them and take the Magic Stone!

The men surrounding the three attacked at once. But in the next moment, several swords were dancing in the air.

A boy with a spear flew all the men's weapons in the early hours of the lightning.

A metallic purple spear penetrates deeply into the chest of a man who doesn't know what happened.

"Ha!?

"Ufu...!?

"Yes, one."

The boy groaned with joy and flashed his spear even more. Several purple flashes run into the alley.

Afterwards, several demons echoed in the alley of Pharma, King Felsen's capital, but none of them noticed it.
