Chapter 202
202: The Auction House Robbery (2)
* * *
I had expected Hanalin and Jiyuchan to spar with me shortly after I gave them the interpretations of the Celestial Orbit Technique and the Platinum Sword. However, both of them expressed reluctance—not because they didn’t want to spar, but because they hadn’t fully mastered the techniques yet.
Given that these were grand magic and ascending martial arts, it was only natural that neither Hanalin nor Jiyuchan could grasp them instantly. Understanding their position, I agreed to postpone the sparring for now.
Since practicing incomplete techniques would be meaningless, Hanalin and Jiyuchan decided to return to their rooms to study further rather than head to the Sparring Hall. I respected their choice.
Though they had experienced a moment of enlightenment, they felt compelled to review the texts more thoroughly, so each retreated to their quarters. I remained at rest as well, though I found myself anticipating the next day’s visit to the Auction House.
‘How much stronger will they become?’
From my perspective, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan appeared to be halfway through completing their inner worlds. The newly interpreted texts only reinforced this impression.
This thought consumed me. Where could I possibly stand when my own inner world hasn’t even reached half completion? Objectively speaking, Hanalin and Jiyuchan transcended mere genius.
My Analysis made this possible.
By providing direction through my Analysis and allowing them to develop further based on that foundation, their progress was inevitable. Now their inner worlds were beginning to manifest, while I—who had grown in fits and starts—found myself momentarily blocked by a wall.
‘This is fascinating.’
Within my inner realm, the foundation upon which my inner world would be built, I could sense quite a variety of presences. Analysis, which served as the leader and maintained the center, and below it, Fusion and Usurpation, which gazed down at other entities with similar authority.
And.
‘Those must be the Plague Lord and the Ruin Dragon Lord, right?’
One entity possessed a presence as immense as Fusion and Usurpation—that seemed to be the Ruin Dragon Lord. The other, emanating sinister mist around itself, appeared to be the Plague Lord.
I couldn’t sense the Heavenly Mechanism or the Reaper’s Eye, which suggested they had been completely absorbed into my body and hadn’t reached my inner realm.
Though I couldn’t pinpoint the exact conditions, my understanding was as follows.
‘Only those related to characteristics seem to enter the inner realm—to fill this vessel.’
Just as Analysis had proven accurate before, it resonated and affirmed my hypothesis. Feeling this, I gently closed my eyes.
Contemplating the concept of an inner world, my vessel—which held so many things—appeared remarkably vast even to my own perception. This was despite the fact that the vessel itself hadn’t fully matured yet. I didn’t bother wondering why such an enormous vessel had manifested within me.
Rather, I was determined to do my absolute best with this vessel right now.
As I consolidated my enlightenment and turned it over in my mind, something seemed to click into place.
‘The vessel is vast.’
Sensing a breakthrough, I smiled faintly. Of course, I still needed to lay the groundwork within my inner realm to thicken my inner world further, so I wouldn’t gain anything immediately. Still, grasping this direction itself felt rewarding.
To be safe, I posed a question to the entities within my inner realm.
‘How does this direction feel?’
Though I’d already decided, I asked as if seeking confirmation. The entities within my inner realm responded with intense enthusiasm.
[Fusion eagerly anticipates the day this comes to fruition.]
[Usurpation drools and promises to grant everything you desire.]
[The Ruin Dragon Lord finds this genuinely pleasing.]
[The Plague Lord trembles among the other energies and agrees this is right.]
[Analysis deems this absolutely excellent.]
After hearing even Analysis’s opinion, I smiled broadly.
The fact that these entities had developed consciousness meant I could communicate with them like this. I found this quite satisfying.
Honestly, I’d been burdened by keeping Analysis’s secrets hidden, unable to confide in anyone. Now that I had entities I could speak with freely, I wouldn’t have to wrestle with my concerns alone anymore.
Yes, I’ll continue this way, I thought, tidying my inner realm once more, contemplating my direction, and laying the groundwork. My rest period passed in this manner.
However, I overlooked one thing.
[The Plague Lord appears to have much it wishes to say.]
‘Hm?’
I saw it and wondered what was happening, but I lost interest in the message that followed.
[『Plague Lord』 says it’s nothing to worry about.]
If it was nothing to worry about, I figured I didn’t need to be too concerned.
I thought to myself.
‘Is it because I use the others but not the 『Plague Lord』?’
I wondered if it was subtly asking me to use it, so I chuckled and moved on. I’d probably need to use it soon anyway. Besides, I hadn’t used Virulent Toxin much either, so I should see how it’s changed this time.
So I dismissed it as nothing and moved forward.
* * *
As time passed and the next day arrived, I finally prepared to head to the Auction House and handed deep-hooded robes to Hanalin and Jiyuchan.
Upon receiving them, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan spoke as if they had no choice.
“If you want to hide your identity, you could just use transformation magic to look like a different race.”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
But seeing them like that, I shook my head, saying they had no sense of romance, and spoke.
“What? Don’t you know it’s the golden rule to wear robes like this when going to an Auction House? Of course you apply transformation magic inside them too. Let’s just cast transformation magic to look like Celestials and go.”
“…Sigh. Fine.”
“…Let’s do it.”
Even though the Auction House was openly operating in a Department Store, not some dark underworld or back alley like in the media, Hanalin and Jiyuchan couldn’t understand why it had to be this way.
They shook their heads seeing me act so childishly, but what could they do if the Party Leader wanted it? Hanalin and Jiyuchan went along with it, and somehow they got excited too, decorating their robes to look somewhat impressive.
Once they started, it turned out to be fun, and when the disguise looked quite impressive, I immediately got excited and suggested we leave.
“Alright, let’s go!”
So we left Hezway’s Building, from which Hezway hadn’t yet returned after leaving yesterday, and headed straight to the Department Store. Since I already knew from Hezway that we needed to authenticate ourselves on the Stone Tablet to enter, the three of us showed our authentication without much thought, but the reaction was far more intense than expected.
『C』
『31,572,992P』
『C』
『11,164,218P』
『C』
『10,921,832P』
“Gasp!?”
“What? Over 10 million points!?”
“Look there—that Party Leader has over 30 million points!?”
“They’re insanely rich…!”
“What!?”
As all eyes turned to us, I frowned slightly. I’d dressed up like this to hide my identity, but instead all eyes were on us. Sure, I was using transformation magic so it was more like a game, but still—the fun was completely ruined.
I let out a small sigh and asked the Department Store Guard.
“We can enter, right?”
The guard flinched in surprise and nodded. With this much wealth, if he stopped us, he wouldn’t just be fired—it would be far worse.
“Y-yes, please come in!”
While he had been merciless to others, he showed courtesy to my party, so some might have felt resentment, but they were simply in awe of our wealth.
“Hmm, are they a superior race?”
“I can’t quite tell with the robe covering everything.”
“Even with the robe on, there’s clearly something on their back—aren’t they Celestials?”
“Huh, so Celestials are participating in this auction too?”
“This is going to be quite a fierce bidding war.”
“Tell me about it. With funds like that, they could clean out the entire Auction House.”
While everyone was chattering away like that, a passing party overheard their conversation and exchanged puzzled glances. Then, without the gossipers noticing, one of the party members approached the woman leading at the front—apparently the party leader—and asked.
“Captain, are there any parties operating independently?”
“No, there aren’t.”
“But just now….”
“Hmm, I should look into it.”
When Ines, the woman called Captain—the party leader—answered so curtly, Vera, the party member who had asked with confusion, blinked her wide eyes and felt an inexplicable chill run down her spine as she swallowed hard.
There was an ominous feeling about it, and her expression suggested she wanted to tell Ines to just forget about it, but since she had brought it up first, she couldn’t very well say that now.
Instead.
“We’ll be participating in the auction anyway, so we’ll find out then, won’t we?”
“That’s true.”
“Then, let’s enter as well.”
With that, Ines and Vera also completed their authentication.
They too authenticated several million points per person, causing the Department Store Guard to lose consciousness once more before they were allowed to enter.
* * *
The auction, one of the major events in Safe Zone Baul, was famous enough to attract participation from superior races in several other Safe Zones near the center, making it a grand affair. Since it was held once a month and always drew crowds, the entire Safe Zone Baul was buzzing with excitement.
Only a limited number could enter the Auction House, yet that number was still considerable—easily several hundred by the look of it. As Jiyuchan took his designated seat, he let out an exclamation of admiration.
“The scale is impressive.”
“It really is.”
At Jiyuchan’s exclamation, Hanalin also nodded and glanced around, and the true atmosphere of the Auction House became apparent. It resembled an opera house or concert hall with its stage-like setup and seating that could accommodate easily several hundred, perhaps even a thousand spectators.
Moreover, there was a button on each armrest of the chairs. According to what they’d been told upon arrival, one could press the button to express their intention to bid if they were interested in an item.
And furthermore.
“There’s a number pad here too.”
“I really can’t even guess how intense this will get.”
With the number pad, one could bid up to their desired amount—it was a state-of-the-art auction house. As Dohyun eagerly anticipated what items might appear, Hanalin and Jiyuchan spoke to him.
“If there’s anything you need, just let me know. I’ll buy a few things for you.”
“I’ll pick up some things for you too. You helped with the analysis, so this much is only natural.”
When both of them said this to Dohyun, he nodded in agreement. Thinking it was considerate of them, Dohyun naturally had no reason to refuse.
Besides, both of them thought this was only right. The points they currently possessed were essentially points earned thanks to Dohyun, after all.
As they waited.
A beautiful Spider Humanoid Auctioneer wearing a mask stepped onto the stage and cried out.
-Now then, let us begin the auction!
