Chapter 58: My Spear
"Y-You are Balrug Goldstein. One of the renowned craftsman in Firuman" exclaimed Vergil
"Hahaha… It seems your brother understands my greatness, unlike you brat." replied Balrug happily
"Shut up, old man. You are too loud and drunk." rebuked Angus
"Brat, you should have some respect towards your teacher."
"Like hell, I will respect petty old dwarf like you."
Both of them begin to bickering as they have already done it many times before. Meanwhile Vergil surprise at such relevance that Angus is Balrug's student.
"Hello, my name is Bail Rock." Introduced Bail to Vergil while the master-student keep bickering one with the other.
"Ahh.. yes, My name is Vergil." Vergil shook Bail's hand.
Soon, the master-student stop bickering as the auction start.
"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to Golden Trade Hall. Without wasting more time, let the auction begin!!" said the announcer.
"Woowww…" [The Audience]
After a series of clapping from the audience, they begin auction items one by one starting from the various miscellaneous item such as pouch space storage to the rare monster corpses.
The majority of the audience in the normal seat already try to bidding price. But, none of the VIP class above try to bid for these current items as if it is just an appetizer for them.
"The next is a very special item, a monster egg of Fire Ostrich." said the announcer while the staff took out an adult size of fist egg.
"Monster egg?!" [The Audience]
"From the Fire Ostrich" [The Audience]
"Although this is only monster egg, our client needs to pay a high price to procure it from the grade 4 Fire Ostrich. The start of the bid price is 100 gold with 10 gold coins every increment.
The audience was surprised at hearing such a huge price for the start bidding price. Moreover, every increment is 10 gold coins.
After a while, no one dares to try bidding price. It is not because the price is too high for the current people. However, the is almost no usage of the monster egg to the public besides for few people.
The monster eggs are usually used for research as they will bear their fang towards ordinary people after they grow into adults.
They may have a chance to be tamed during their cub period. After they enter adult and forming their core, they will immediately seek nothing but destruction, especially towards ordinary people.
After a few minutes of silence, "100 gold" someone from the VIP area starts bidding.
"110"
"150"
"200"
Then, more people start bidding especially from the VIP area. Although, its usage may be useless for the public but for certain people it's a rare resource with unknown potential.
From making it as a temporary pet or as research material, all of this could only be achieved in the hand of people with resources and authority. Especially if the monster egg in such pristine condition as this one.
"320"
"340"
The price increase becomes to slow down as the bidding price higher. Although it is a rare material, its usage is still limited with the current knowledge. Not many people want to spend a lot of money on this egg.
"350"
After a while, nobody is try bid the price higher, "500 gold coin" as a deep grunt voice heard from one of the VVIP rooms.
All the people immediately look at the source of the deep voice heard. Not only the price of the people in the VVIP room is high but it also unusual.
"This voice… an orc" said Balrug as he noticed the deep sound they produce.
"An orc?" asked Angus curiously.
"Yes, the only race with those deep grunt voices is from the orc. However, it's quite rare to see an orc in this human kingdom where it is far away from Orchsium" explained Balrug.
"If I am not wrong, Orc is a race with a huge build body and long protruded fang from its lower mouth." replied Vergil.
"You are right, lad. That race may have quite a bizarre appearance. But, they also have strong natural physical power that could match second-grade monster when reach adult. Some of them also quite a fearsome warriors." explained the Balrug more.
"If not because of their barbarian and war-seeking nature, they may become the strongest race after the elf. Unfortunately, their homeland is too chaotic with various factions living there." explained the Balrug more.
"Hmmm… Interesting race." said Angus as he looked back at the stage.
After the orc inside the VVIP room bid, nobody tries to bid higher than him. After a few calls from the announcer, the monster egg finally sold to the orc inside the VVIP room.
A staff bringing the egg backstage, "The next item is a very special potion from the famous alchemist Rondo." said the Announcer as the staff brings a mysterious deep blue-colored potion.
Getting everyone's attention, "This is the famous mana regeneration potion created personally by Alchemist Rondo." revealed the announcer.
"Woaahh… Mana regeneration potion?" [The Audience]
"I-Is that the legendary mana regeneration potion?" [The Audience]
"Hurry, call the others that the mana regeneration potion appear." [The Audience]
Unlike the normal mana potion, a mana regeneration potion will help people that consume it to regenerate their mana faster. Although it may seem simple, its effect could make people combat longer by regenerate their mana.
Unlike Angus who could regenerate mana easily, people in this world could not regenerate mana easily just through rest or meditation. The higher mana regeneration means someone could fight longer.
It could be said high-grade mana regeneration potion could make people have unlimited mana as their mana will keep regenerating for a certain period.
However, to create this mana regeneration potion needs various kinds of rare ingredients and a long hard meticulous alchemy process without any single error.
That's why this kind of potion is always in demand and rare on the market. Especially a high-grade one that was personally crafted by famous alchemist Rondo.
Inside the Angus room, "Woow… So, that's mana regeneration potion." exclaimed Vergil.
"Hoo… that's kind of rare to see this kind of things here." said Balrug.
As for Angus, he only looks at it once before losing interest in it. For Angus who has the cheat of inheritance chi, he could regenerate his mana easily by refining it. Moreover, his breathing technique is also top-notch and increases his mana regeneration.
"The starting bidding price is 500 gold coin with each increment is 50 gold."
"500"
"600"
"700"
"750"
People from both VIP and VVIP areas immediately bidding their prices. They start their own war. Soon, the potion price reaches the 2000 gold coin mark and still increasing.
Even at this point, Vergil also tries to bid on the price but he didn't buy too much money and finally reluctantly passed it. Although the high-grade regeneration mana potion is rare but using his family connection, he still could procure a few low-grade ones.
After few dozen minutes, it finally sold at the 3250 gold coin which many times more than the start bidding price. This shows how important and rare the mana regeneration potion.
"The next item is a weapon. But, this is no ordinary weapon it a mana-enhanced weapon." As a staff brings out a huge long spear with a sharp blade at the end.
"Everyone… This weapon is called Full Spark created by famous crafter Balrug." as the announcer shows the weapon to the audience.
"Ehh… The old man isn't that my practice spear. Why did you sell it?!" rebuked Angus towards the old dwarf.
"Shut up, ungrateful brat!! It's technically mine. So, what I do to it is up to me. I will create another spear for your training later on." replied the old dwarf.
"No way.. I quite like that spear. You can't sell it without my opinion." counter Angus
As the two master-student bickers each other, the announcer test weapon by penetrated strong armor easily while also create a little spark of electricity.
Looking at the spark is created, the audience once again surprised. This kind of enhanced-mana weapon is very deadly as it could produce spark on its end. Moreover, it will be more formidable in the hand of electric-based combatants.
The combination of the electric current and electric attribute mana from the user will make it more deadly towards any opponent.
Soon, another price war start and the price keep going higher even after reach 3000 gold coins. While hearing this, Angus could only lament his situation to lost his favorite practice spear.
Looking at his grumble student, "Brat, if you want to keep the spear, why don't you just bidding it yourself." teased Balrug.
"Shut up stinky old man, just create me another better spear for me after this." replied Angus.
"Another spear!? Ungrateful Brat, Did you think those kinds of things could easily be made?!"
Soon, they start to bickering one another again while Vergil could only look at them.
"Err… Is this situation normally happen?" asked Angus towards Bail.
"Yeah, don't worry about it. As long as they didn't start killing each other everything is fine." replied Bail while ignoring the two master-student as it is a normal occurrence.
Meanwhile, Vergil didn't know what to say looking at the new side of his little brother.
