Ancient Tears BloodLine

The female receptionist gave me details about the empty room. I looked at the cost. Two thousand credit points for a day. Seeing the number, I couldn't help but furrow my eyebrows. This is bit expensive, but I don't have any choice. This hotel is close to train station. Even if I choose other hotels, they must be as expensive as this one. I took a moment to decide then I told receptionist about Choosing one room.

I transferred two thousand credit points to their account. She gave me key for the room no. 206. After grabbing the key, I immediately thought headed towards my room. I hope it's not just expensive for namesake. Shaking my head, I approached the nearby lift to enter,

A couple of seconds later, I arrived at the fifth floor. After exiting the lift, I looked for room no.206. A few second later, I found the room. After inserting the key and entering new access code provide by the receptionist, the door opened.

I entered the room, after locking the door. I began to check the entire room for any disturbance. A few minutes later, After confirming everything is clean and tidy. I intend to take long shower, it's been days since I have a bath. There is bath facility in the train but I didn't used it. For safety concern, I didn't want to use it.

The room is a bit luxurious, and breath of fresh air. After having long good bath in shower, I changed by clothes. Then I ordered good energetic food from the room service. While waiting for food service, I once again studied this cities map. It will be good if there is few more shop like auction house.

A few minutes later, I marked some interesting shops on the map. Just a going through the map, the room service came with the ordered food. After arranging my food on the table they left the room. As fresh and good smell of food invaded my nostrils. Sensing that, I stopped doing my current work and began to ear food.

After finishing the food couple of minutes later, I decided to go around the city and visit the marked shops on the city map. I was getting ready, I received an call from Granny Park. Seeing that I attended the call.

"Zack, Where are you right now?" Granny Park inquired my whereabouts in gentle tone.

Hearing that I let out a small smile, I sat down in my couch and took some time to talk to her.

"I'm at the baron city right now, My next train will arrive at night. So, I booked a nearby hotel to spend time until then." I said with a smile.

The other end of the call, Granny Park satisfied with the my answer. She then talked about recent news reports. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I too read the couple of news about me in the alliance network.

Then Granny Park commented, "Okay, take care of yourself. Text me after you boarded the train."

"Sure, Granny!" I uttered. Then she ended the call. Its rare for her to call by herself. Usually, I'm the one inquires about everyone. Shaking my head, I stood up from the couch to leave.

After locking door, a few moments later I stepped out of the hotel. The street is still lively, buzzing with the crowd. Feeling positive vibe, I walked among the crowds. From time to time, I sense powerful auras from the people. But no one is leaking out intentionally. Looks like that crime rate is lower in the city.

After walking few steps ahead, I came across the small auction house. Looking at the name "Junior Fred auction house." I remembered the name in my mind. Then I step my foot inside the auction house. Seeing the old antique like structure, my interest piqued further. Though, I'm not hoping to buy anything. I'm here to spend time to quench my interest.

Hearing my footsteps, a shop keeper came forward to greet me. He is a bit old, probably sixty year old man with small white beard and small moustache.

"Young man, Come here inside and looked around, See if you like anything to buy." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

I felt pleased by his words, then without making him wait. I followed him to the main hall. Amazing, there is not much room here. The walls were fitted with glass cupboards. I can see numerous goods in each glass cabin. There were some antiques among few items. It will take some time to go through all the stuffs.

So, I didn't see it immediately. I looked at the shopkeeper and asked, " old man, Could you show me some interesting stuff" I believe this old man knew some knowledge about some goods.

Hearing Zack's words, the old man hesitated for a moment. He didn't know whether the young man is going to buy or not. The old man knitted his eyebrows, seeing Zack's perceiving gaze. The old man nodded and went back private room to bring registration book.

Seeing the back of disappearing old man, I waited for him. A few minutes later, the old man came with huge registration book. This registration book is compilation of all the antiques goods. Its quite detailed with picture and the description of the items.

Seeing the huge book, I felt headache. I hurried towards the old man to help him up. I took the huge book from his hands and placed it on the nearby desk. The old man took sharp breath for a moment. I gave him a bottle of water. After drinking it, the old man thanked me.

I let out a huge sigh, then I took a nearby seat and sat down leisurely to read the book. I opened the first page, thank goodness, it has some index page. I took a few glances towards it. Some were old crude artefacts, some ancient relics, old era decorative items, some worn-out pictures. One by one, I began to read the index page list.

Time passes slowly, Zack is immersed in his reading. While the old man observing him from time to time. Seeing Zack's curiosity, the old man thought may be young man can really buy some items from the book.

Suddenly, as I passed through the section of decorative items. I spotted palm size mirror in the book. The description says it's an mirror found middle-aged era ruin. There are no other specifications other than face looking mirror. But my intuition tells me otherwise. To confirm it, I need to see the item for myself.

I turned around and looked at the old man, On the other hand, perceiving my gaze the old man was startled. "Did you select something?" The old man inquired. I nodded at him. And passed the huge book to him.

The other hand, old man took the book in his hands, at that time I pointed out the item, "I liked to see the mirror , if it's good then I will give it to my granny" I said with a smile. Hearing that old man nodded at me, it was convincing statement. He didn't even doubt me. The old man then went to bring the old bronze mirror.

I decided to wait for him, a couple of minutes went by, but there is no sight of the old man. I began to wonder, why is it taking so long to bring that stuff. Then something strike my mind, did the old guy fainted on the way. Then suddenly I heard footsteps, old man is back with metallic case. Sure, this metallic case is used to protect the relic.

The old man walked towards me and placed the metallic case on the table. I didn't open it, I let him do it. The old man opened the case after entering the access code. He took the small bronze mirror, which is covered in cloth. After accessing the old bronze for any mistake. The old man then gave it to me.

I took the small bronze mirror in my hands, My intuition becomes further stronger. This item is something else. I'm sure, I just need to uncover its secrets. But on my face, I revealed some solemn expression. Seeing my condensed expression, the old man startled, "What happen? Don't you like it?" the old man asked in a worry some tone.

Hearing that I knitted my eyebrows, and said, "Its very old and the design pattern was worn out"

Hearing that old man sighed in relief. He thought that young man would back out in last minute. But fortunately, that's not the case. He looked at the young man with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I will give a reasonable price for it" He really hoping that young man would buy this bronze mirror.

Hearing that I didn't answer it immediately, then touched the small bronze mirror with my hands. Then I asked him solemnly, "How much does it cost?"

Hearing that old man made some calculation in his mind. He said, "It's only thirty thousand credit points."

My heart skips a best hearing him. Its much expensive than expected.. I commented, "This is just face looking mirror. Don't you think it's too much?"
