Chapter 191 All Were Treasures
It was apparent that there were a lot of rich people who were interested in collecting rare things from
the wild spirit-manipted beasts with their fortune. In addition, there were some spirit maniptors
who were aiming at some materials of good quality so that they could use them to forge their weapons.
The power of these spirit maniptors was just between the Mortal Stage and the Earthly Stage. Only
two or three of those spirit maniptors were able to reach the first grade of the Earthly Stage.
In the Evian City, spirit maniptors that were beyond the Earthly Stage were unusual. At the Gehenna
Border, either in the military camps or as leaders of hired spirit maniptors like the man that Rocky
met before, they were regarded as overmatches. Therefore, in normal conditions, it was rare for spirit
maniptors at the Earthly Stage toe and go freely in the city.
At that moment, Rocky noticed that there were several female spirit maniptors at a corner near him.
What piqued his interest were how they were all dressed as maids. Even though they restrained their
auras, with his power at the second grade of the Earthly Stage, it was easy for Rocky to sense their
true power. Furthermore, all of them were apparently between the sixth and the ninth grade of the
Mortal Stage. In other words, their power whenbined was almost equivalent to that of a strong
team.
The female spirit maniptors just stood calmly at the corner like expressionless statues. Their calm
training. There was a woman who was sitting peacefully among the group. She was wearing a dress
made out of pink tissues and it made her look beautiful and elegant. She was wearing a veil over her
face but it could not hide her wless and delicate features. Rocky barely saw the outline of her gentle
eyes and long dark hair. Anyone who gazed upon her became tempted to see the true beauty that was
hidden by her veil.
What attracted Rocky more was the unfathomable aura that was exuding from her. He couldn''t
evaluate her power at all. Rocky was convinced that she was not as weak as she would like people to
assume. There must be some kind of reason for her to conceal her power on purpose.
''I guess those female spirit maniptors are guarding the veiled woman. Who is she? Why does she
have that many powerful spirit maniptors around her? Why is she hiding her true power? She must
be someone remarkable, '' Rocky spected while looking at the woman intensely.
The people started noticing the woman and her bodyguards. They became curious of her identity.
Moreover, the men found it difficult to look away from the group because all of her bodyguards were
also very good-looking.
If they knew that the woman that they were ogling was the Deputy Commander in Chief of the Crimson
Dragon Group, they would surely not dare stare at her in such a disgusting manner.
The woman that was wearing the veil was none other than Isis, the cousin of Marin. No one would have
guessed that the Deputy Commander in Chief of the Crimson Dragon Group would appear at the
auction, so they just assumed that the veileddy must be from a wealthy and influential family.
The reason why Isis was there was very simple. Because of her current status, she was not allowed to
go shopping like other adolescent girls. Moreover, she was so busy with official business and military
affairs that she hardly had time to buy things on her own. Therefore, after dealing with all of her tasks,
she decided to go to the auction house to buy some rare items and advanced materials that she could
use at her leisure. After all, Isis was just another young girl who liked to shop pretty things.
After a few minutes, a new round of auction started and new auction items were disyed. On the
three-feet-high stage, there were several scantily d women who enchantingly walked across the
stage. Each of them were holding a te on their hands and on those tes, different kinds of items
and rare things of the wild spirit-manipted beasts were disyed for the audience to see. However,
they were all worthless because all of the items were only from one-star spirit-manipted beasts.
''How could they auction such rubbish? This branch store of the Super Beast Farm is too disappointing,
'' Rocky mumbled quietly at the sight of the auction items. None of them could rival the ones in his
basket. He despised each one of the items on the stage.
However, it made sense that they would auction such items since the spirit maniptors at the
Gehenna Border did not live on hunting wild spirit-manipted beasts. For them, wild spirit-
manipted beasts were too powerful and dangerous to hunt. Also, wild spirit-manipted beasts
gathered in crowds and it made them much more difficult to hunt. If a spirit maniptor was not
powerful enough, the beasts would kill and eat him easily. That was why spirit maniptors in the city
always avoided hunting wild spirit-manipted beasts in order to protect themselves.
It exined clearly why the materials and the rare things from one-star spirit-manipted beasts were
so hard to get here. As for things from two-star spirit-manipted beasts, they were very few. Powerful
spirit maniptors did not want to kill such weak spirit-manipted beasts. On the other hand, weak
spirit maniptors were powerless against them.
The people reluctantly averted their eyes from Isis and her female bodyguards to focus on the auction
items on disy. Their eyes were lighting up while they indulged in admiring the auction items as if they
were remarkable treasures.
Gradually, the auction started and the heated bidding for each item began.
Rocky, smiling to himself, showed no interest in joining them. His eyes surveyed the room and he
noticed that a middle-aged man, who seemed to be the boss of the auction house, was conducting
something at the side of the stage like a director. Rocky walked over to him.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
"Excuse me, are you the boss here?" Rocky asked him curiously.
The middle-aged man turned to him and inspected Rocky. After a few seconds, he suddenly red at
Rocky and cursed in heart the clerk who had allowed such a country bumpkin to enter the premises.
He could not help but get angry at having a person in rag-like clothing and a basket on his back inside
his precious auction house. Rocky decided to ask him again if he was the boss of the auction house
and to that he replied impatiently, "Yes, I am. What''s that to do with you?"
"I want to sell some things here, so I''d like to discuss it with you in private," Rocky said calmly,
revealing no anger at the boss'' disdainful tone. As a seller, instead of drawing attention to him, he
preferred to stay low key.
"If you want to sell some things, then you better go downstairs. What we sell here are treasures and
not cheap garbage, do you understand? We sell precious things like those on the stage..." the boss
said proudly while staring at Rocky in disgust.
"You call those treasures? In my eyes, they are nothing but rubbish," Rocky said contemptuously. He
was starting to feel a little annoyed at the boss'' rudeness.
When he heard Rocky''s words, the boss looked at him like he was crazy. He became convinced that
Rocky was an abnormal, so he decided to just wave him away and urge him to leave. After looking at
Rocky onest time, he gestured to the women on the stage.
When one of the women noticed his gesture, she walked to the front of the stage and disyed the
auction item on her te. "This is the softest crocodile hide thates from the belly of a one-star
Swamp Crocodile. Neither water, fire, nor any weapon could do damage to it. We start the bidding at
fifty golden coins."
"One hundred golden coins."
"One hundred and fifty golden coins."
There were a lot of people who bid up the hide of the one-star Swamp Crocodile. Finally, to Rocky''s
surprise, the ordinary hide was sold for three hundred golden coins.
The woman stepped down from the stage and gave the hide of the one-star Swamp Crocodile to the
highest bidder in person. After paying for it, the businessman grinned cheekily and then seized the
opportunity to grab the woman''s backside.
The woman cried cutely at having her backside grabbed and surprisingly appeared as if she enjoyed
the attention. She then handed the three hundred golden coins to the boss immediately. The golden
coin circted through the Wild Spirit Land.
"Ha-ha. I bought that for only one hundred golden coins. I earn two hundred golden coins because of
that," the boss said in excitement. When Rocky heard that, he realized that the boss was fairly pleased
with his profits.
"I never thought that the hide of a one-star Swamp Crocodile could be so valuable. That would make
the hides of two-star Swamp Crocodiles inside my basket, more or less, a several hundred golden
coins worth," Rocky murmured to himself while still standing next to the boss. He finally felt that he
came to the right ce.
