In a down trodden voice, Yueliang answers. "I see, I will take care of them. Hahh." Yueliang then recalls. "Wait, the auction we have to get going!"
Hearing that, the three around him imdiately widen their eyes as they had forgotten for a mont. Not knowing how long they have been playing around, they get moving into the living room to collect Shen Hu before leaving the house.
"Shen Hu, are you coming with us, or do you want to stay and sleep here?" Yueliang asks after stopping for a brief mont.
....
Getting no response for a good minute, Yueliang says. "Alright, we should get going." The others nodding in response.
The start walking towards the door, until Yue hears. "Go on without , I will stay here for a bit to look after and talk to Shen Hu."
Turning around to see who was speaking, Qing was standing there, surprising the rest, before Huoli says. "You know what, you have the right idea, I will stay as well. It will not be as fun without my mate being with ."
Yueliang nods and says. "I understand, do what you feel is right." anwhile he is thinking. 'Well, these ladies certainly care a lot for those around them. I just wonder if iren wants to stay as well.' A few seconds later he looks at iren and asks. "Do you want to stay as well or are you coming with ? If you want to stay I do not mind."
"While I am not the most interested in the auction, going with you is always enjoyable, and tends to turn out exciting." iren said with a grin on her cute leopard face.
"I see, well then let us try to have so fun." Yueliang says in reply as he opens the door, and the two walk out.
"Such a puzzling day, Off we go quiet as a mouse, Thence we go on a journey, Too the auction house." iren starts rhyming for no apparent reason, while walking and making their way to their destination. Walking down the peaceful and pleasant morning street, everyone busy with their own work, and most of the children studying, while the rest are playing.
Seeing the sun creeping closer and closer to mid day, Xue iren, and Yue, pick up their pace as they do not want to be late, with the sun already depicting about 11:30 am. Yueliang thinks to himself while jogging. 'Well, it does not look like I will be able to greet our visitors before they arrive, however at least I can greet them afterward. Maybe?'
---- A Few Monts Later ----
'Phew, we made it in ti.' Yueliang thought to himself as he opens the door to the massive building, for the auction. He then turns to his right side to head for one of the flights of stairs, making his way up them to get to one of the rooms rather than the hall for everyone else.
Once he has gone a few flights of stairs up to the top floor, walking towards one of the doors he stops in the middle of the hallway.
"What are you stopping for? I thought we were going to one of the vip rooms?" iren asks.
"We are, just it is my own private room, so that I do not have to be noticed or bothered with others during the auction. Of course the others know, although, do you not rember?" Yue replies with soul communication.
Yueliang then turns towards her and starts pushing in on part of a wall with two hands and sliding it to the left, revealing a hidden room.
irens' eyes nearly pop out of her eye sockets when she sees the hidden room before saying. "Wow, I guess I forgot about this, it is kind of difficult to rember certain parts when you put everything together so fast." She explains.
"Well, I am glad you like, are you coming in or not?" Yueliang asks seeing her still waiting outside the hidden door, while he is still holding it open.
She nods then walks in, and upon getting inside, Yue releases the door. Imdiately after releasing it, it shuts before one can blink with such force that one would think they would get chopped in half. However even then, it still stayed silent as it slams shut.
Seeing this, she nearly jumped out of her skin fearing what would have happened had she been a mont slower.
In the anti, Yue already headed to his seat, and gets ready to watch as the auction proceeds, wondering what all additions there will be to the original list he made.
---- anwhile Elsewhere ----
"Hello everyone, and thank you for coming to this auction. We have nobility or should I say kings from various different countries here today. I hope everyone is as excited as I am to have out first auction today. Thus without further ado, let us begin." Rei says, while thinking. 'This is more fun than I thought, I guess it is not so bad that Ryeah got sick today after all.'
A few monts later a cart cos out and Rei speaks up again. "Before I announce the first item, a few basic rules. First, if you cannot pay, you will be punished painfully for wasting everyones' ti before it goes to the next highest bidder. Second rule, if you try stealing, or causing a commotion, you will be punished accordingly, this may include but is not limited to death. Also everything else should be self explanatory just like at another auction house, but absolutely no using your background to pressure the others here."
"Now with that out of the way, our first item is a Stealth Skill book. Since so of you may not know what this product is. One of our many products is skill books, and the person to open it, has to learn it as no one else will be able to read it, as this is a bound item, also it is a one ti use before disappearing. However if the person who learned said skill is talented enough, or has a deep understanding they can teach others after learning it.
While this book is now for invisibility, it does make it so others will not be able to detect your presence or even you as easily. The bidding begins at 1 large gold coin."
---- At The Sa Ti Elsewhere ----
"Skills can be learned, well acquired? Since when was this possible?" One man asks.
"No wonder that young man said there were other worldly products here, such would be a massive boost to said persons or countries power. Not to ntion depending on the skill, the developnt of such places would be indescribably amazing." A king said to so of the others sitting near by.
However hearing this, King Uther speaks up. "I know what you are thinking. However if you try capturing him, or taking this town it will not work in your favor. He is more powerful than you would think, especially for one so young, however while there are those stronger than him, I doubt even they would have a chance."
"No need to warn us, King Uther. I am sure we have all experienced his strength already. That is if you all found out about him the sa way I did. He helped us in the middle of a war." The king from the desert like country comnted.
"While I admit that such a product is amazing, I hope it is not the only reason he brought us here." The King Chilperic of the physical practitioners replies.
The others in the room just nod in agreent, as they felt that while this is an amazing opportunity, it did not warrant traveling so far practically crossing borders just to obtain. Then one of them said. "Well, they are probably saving the best for last, so we should focus back on the auction.
By the ti they finished, the third item is now being introduced. "Alright everyone, just in case our guest are worrying that this is all we brought them for, place your worries aside, as this is only the first portion of the auction." Rei says after seeing their faces in one of the second floor rooms.
"This is the third item we have for sale, is sothing for those who do not want to solely focus on or even use magic. This bundle of papers blueprints on technology. There are 2 different types here, of course they run on chi, not mana so no need to worry. There is one for a device for long distance communication, and one for accessing a world of knowledge. Of course whoever obtains this, will be able to access a lot of our knowledge, while not our most current it is still millenia ahead of this worlds." Rei tries explaining pc computers and radios as simply as he can, not wanting to introduce anything too ahead of its ti.
Hearing this, if one was to look into the different kings eyes, they would see a deep rooted desire, enough so if that if one wrong word was spoken they were prepared for war. And at this mont only one thought was in their minds. 'I do not care what price, even the kingdom if you ask, just start the bidding!'
Seeing this, Rei smiles and says. "5 large platinum coins will start the bidding."
