BXBX NOVEL Chapter 86 The Day Of The Auction
Outside the grand auction hall, they met Franklin, the vice guild manager from Silver Haven town, who played a significant role in getting David\'s items to the auction. Franklin was dressed impeccably in a black suit.
"David, Luna, great to see you both here!" Franklin greeted them warmly.
David shook hands with Franklin. "Good to see you too, Franklin. Thanks again for helping me get all these items to the auction."
Luna smiled and added, "Yes, thank you! It\'s amazing to be part of such an important event."
Franklin beamed. "You\'re both welcome! Your items have caused quite a stir among the adventurers and collectors. Tonight is going to be a big success!"
During the auction, the main item originally planned for the event was changed, and Franklin asked David if he had submitted another item. David hesitated for a moment before revealing that he had crafted a sword in Silver Haven town and decided to submit it for the auction.
Franklin\'s eyes lit up with curiosity. "A sword? That sounds intriguing! And they chose it as the main piece? That\'s impressive!"
David nodded. "Yes, I crafted it while I was in Silver Haven, and it seemed fitting for the auction. I hope it finds a worthy owner."
As the time for the auction drew near, there was a pre-auction party at the venue. Distinguished faces from all over the countries had gathered, including high-ranking officials, powerful mages, and a few S-rank adventurers.
David used his God\'s Eyes skill to assess their potential and abilities. Among the crowd, he spotted Lady Seraphima, elegantly dressed in red, and they exchanged a shy glance, reminiscing about the intimate night they had shared.
Franklin guided David to the bar where drinks were being served. Holding a glass of wine, Franklin introduced him to a tall man, almost 6 feet 9 inches, dressed in a black suit with a hat.
The man held a cane, but as David observed closely, he noticed it was actually a sword concealed inside. The man had a large mustache and a clean-shaven face, and he emitted a strong aura. Franklin introduced him as the Guild Leader of the Adventures Guild in the City of Eldoria, and they engaged in conversation.
Guild Leader looked at David and spoke "Ah, you must be the famous David, the adventurer from Silver Haven. Franklin speaks highly of your skills."
David taking the compliment replied "Thank you, Guild Leader. It\'s an honor to be here among such esteemed company."
Guild Leader still intrigued about the items Franklin gave to submit for auction spoke "I\'ve heard you submitted some extraordinary items for the auction. Quite an impressive feat for someone as young as you."
David replied "Thank you"
As the conversation continued, David found the Guild Leader to be charismatic and knowledgeable. They exchanged tales of their adventures, and David listened attentively to the Guild Leader\'s experiences.
As the clock struck 8, signaling the start of the auction, the guests made their way to the auction hall. David\'s heart pounded with excitement as he watched his items being showcased on the stage. He knew this was just the beginning of his journey in Eldoria, and he looked forward to every new adventure that lay ahead.
As the pre-auction party wrapped up, David mingled with the attendees, exchanging pleasantries and introductions. Inside the grand auction hall, he presented his platinum card to the escort, who guided him to a luxurious room on the second floor. The auction house had designed the space like a circular theater, with a central display showcasing items covered in cloth, eagerly awaiting their unveiling.
Below the raised platform, elegant sofa chairs were arranged, with bronze-tiered seating at the back, silver in the middle, and gold in the front. Each tier offered its own privileges to the guests. On the first floor, VIP rooms with glass walls provided a more intimate viewing experience for those with diamond cards. Finally, on the second floor, only five opulent rooms were available for platinum card holders, offering comfort and a premium view of the auction proceedings.
As David settled into the platinum cabin, he couldn\'t help but notice the exceptional service provided by the female attendants, dressed in tasteful bikini attire. They catered attentively to every diamond guest, making their experience truly special. Inside the platinum cabin, a mini bar stocked with an assortment of drinks and live food offerings provided additional delights.
The anticipation in the room was palpable as the auction was about to commence. The chatter of eager bidders filled the air, their eyes fixed on the covered items, curious about what treasures lay hidden beneath the cloth.
David felt a mix of excitement and nervousness, knowing that some of the items he had submitted were among those on display. He hoped they would fetch a good price and contribute to the success of the auction.
The auctioneer took center stage, welcoming the esteemed guests and commencing the event. With each item unveiled, the crowd erupted in hushed whispers and eager murmurs. Bidding wars ensued, driving prices higher and higher.
As the auction hall buzzed with excitement, David and Luna enjoyed the soothing massages provided by the attentive female attendants. Amidst the ongoing auction, David turned to Luna with a smile, asking if she wanted anything from the event.
Luna graciously declined, mentioning that she already possessed a divine weapon from her master, which held more value to her than anything the auction had to offer. The attendees continued their attentive service, fulfilling every need of David and Luna.
As the heated auction progressed, all the items David had submitted were quickly snatched up by eager bidders. The event was a resounding success, with the crowd showing great interest in the items he had submitted.
The auction continued with enthusiasm, and only two items remained on the list: the highly sought-after succubus body, perfectly maintained and undamaged, and the masterfully crafted sword, Festering Desire.
The bidding for the succubus body turned into an intense showdown between the Magic Research Association and a high-ranking official. As the two parties engaged in an aggressive bidding war, the tension in the room rose palpably. Ultimately, the official had to concede to the Magic Research Association, and they secured the prized item.
Now, all eyes were on the final item, Festering Desire. The bidding commenced, with adventurers and officials from various countries vying for the legendary sword. The starting bid of 500K gold quickly escalated into a fierce battle, with each bid surpassing the previous one. It seemed like everyone in the hall had their eyes set on possessing the powerful weapon.
In the end, an S-rank adventurer emerged victorious, securing the sword for a staggering 23 million gold, breaking all previous auction records. The room erupted in a mixture of awe and excitement at the historic deal. David, watching the proceedings, couldn\'t help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment.
As the auction reached its conclusion, David felt a sense of contentment with the successful event. He generously tipped the attendants who had served him inside the cabin, appreciating their assistance. As everyone started leaving, carrying their won items, the S-rank adventurer who had won the legendary sword approached David with gratitude.
"Hey, you! You crafted this sword, right?" the adventurer said with admiration. "It\'s a masterpiece! Thanks for such a remarkable weapon."
David smiled humbly and replied, "I\'m glad you like it. It was an honor to create such a powerful sword."
As David and Luna began to move away, the auction owner hurriedly approached them. "Excuse me, David," he said, trying to catch his breath. "Congratulations on your items providing. The auction was a great success, and it garnered a lot of attention and income."
"Thank you," David responded graciously.
The auction owner continued, "In the future, if you have more items to submit, I\'d be delighted to have them. You\'ve certainly made a mark with your craftsmanship."
"I\'ll keep that in mind," David replied with a nod.
As a token of appreciation, the auction owner handed David a ring. "Here is the amount from the auction after a 15 percent deduction," he said, presenting a small storage ring. "Here is the 43 million gold."
David\'s eyes widened in surprise and delight as he accepted the ring. "Thank you so much," he said gratefully. "This means a lot to me."
With the auction now concluded, David and Luna left the premises, feeling a sense of accomplishment and excitement. The city of Eldoria\'s auction house had indeed created history on this day, and David knew that he had made a significant impact.
