20 talets!
20 talets 200 silver!
40 talets!
!
Bahamut was carefully examining the woman in the maroon robe.
It was a woman who doubled the price and silenced the other participants in an instant.
That person is definitely the person who bought that big gemstone the other day
Bahamut couldnt easily forget it, considering that the gemstone still held the spot of most expensive item they had sold amongst the countless items being sold in the entirety of the auction.
Even though she spent so much money, she still doesnt hesitate to raise the price to buy thingswho the hell is she? A famous merchant? Or a rich lord?
There were a few characters that came to his mind. However, it was impossible to identify a person who was hiding their identity with a robe, depending on just their spending of money.
If I could see the color of her hair or eyes, Id be able to tell
Intrigued by such curiosity, Bahamut continued to pay attention to her actions.
30 talets 240 silver!
50 talets.
A very aggressive rise in price!
If the woman decided on something she wanted to buy, shed wait until the price had reached a moderate hight, and then blocked the mouths of her competitors by crushing them with an overwhelming price.
A clear indication of intention that there would be no concession for what she wanted.
She was pressuring her competitors in a different way from the silver-haired woman who just annoyed her competitors by raising the price by one silver at a time.
Someone with a of moneyand a domineering personalityconsidering what I know about the original story, there are a few people like that, but
While thinking about that, Bahamut continued to look at the things that woman was buying with interest.
Deer antler, wild ginseng is she trying to brew some kind of medicine? Other than that, shes buying a little bit of rock salt and sulfurit seems that shes not interested in spices.
As Bahamut was observing the womans winning bids the words he had been waiting for finally reached his ears.
Now, for the item you have been waiting for a long time! This item is the highlight of todays auction! Only those in the know know its true value!
With those words, something gigantic was transported to the center of the stage on a cart. It was wrapped in black cloth, but it gave off a strange stench that even Bahamut, who is quite far away, could smell.
The host also frowned slightly, but soon he showed a professional spirit and raised his voice again.
It is an item so valuable, that even a small piece is said to have a value surpassing even a jewel! And, we finally have one in our grasp!
As soon as the words ended, the cloth unfurled, revealing a stone the size of an adult mans head.
It was an object that gave off a strange stench and seemed no different from any other stone in appearance.
Then, following the hosts instructions, the helpers lightly scraped the outer surface of the stone and placed it in a glass of alc*hol.
!
Ohhh
In the next moment, the powder melted in the glass began to fill the auction hall with a subtle scent, driving away the previous terrible stench.
It was a refreshing and fragrant feeling, as if they had fallen in the middle of a rose garden from a garbage dump.
Thisthisthey just added the powder, but how could it have such an amazing scent!
What is it? That stone is
Questions and admiration automatically burst out of peoples mouths at the fresh experience they were experiencing for the first time.
And driven by the atmosphere, the host shouted with a confident voice.
This is it! It is ambergris, a rock made from the dragons spittle that only appears in legends!
Hoooambergris?
Thats rightits truly a great item worthy of its nameit deserves to be called a legendary item.
Ambergris.
In fact, it was a substance produced in the digestive system of sperm whales, and it usually looked like a stone that gave off a bad smell. But when it is dissolved in alcohol, it was said to be the best perfume in all ages!
Even in Bahamuts original world, ambergris the size of a human head would cost hundreds of millions of dollars. The value of that huge ambergris in front of him was beyond imagination!
However apart from that fact, Bahamut, who was in the sellers position, had no intention of handing it over to anyone.
Ambergristo produce this much scent from such a distanceIll definitely get my hand on that one.
Bahamut had even chosen to sell things that were too precious for the purpose of avoiding unnecessary troubles, butwith the knowledge he had known from the beginning, and actually smelling it the other day, he made a firm decision.
I must buy that!
As Bahamut made up his mind, an electric atmosphere crackled in the auction house, hinting at an imminent eruption of a financial war!
