Chapter 74 Dawn Creed Auction House (Part III)
"The Bloody Cross Earring. A tier five artifact that increases the user's blood flow by a large margin would increase the blood user's magic powers."
"We'll be starting at the price of 800 Gold with the lowest bid of 50." Like the Evil Eye, the earrings would be the same as the eye. Fifth-rank artifacts were pretty rare, and not to mention it would increase one blood flow. With this, healing would be more effortless.
"Does this item interest you?" I asked because, unlike the Evil Eye, she wasn't keen on buying it.
"No, I decided to let everyone else have a chance. If you want it, I could buy it for you." She offered to buy it for me if I wanted it.

She chuckled, heard my answer, and got back to the crowd. The highest bid was currently 1500 gold. The price was rising slowly, it was a great treasure, but most people here didn't want it.
"1700 Gold!" Someone in the crowd raised their sign and offered 1700 gold. With that offer, no one placed a higher bid.
"The highest bidder is at 1700 Gold! Does anyone else want to make an offer?" Jennifer asked, seeing if anyone else wanted to make an offer.
"Bidding at the price of 1700! In 3!" No one had made an offer during this time.
"Bidding at the price of 1700! In 2!"
"Bidding at the price of 1700! In 1!" I guess this was the price that one would usually get an artifact of this tier would be worth.
"Sold! To bidder number 68!" It was a shame that it was sold in this country. If it was sold in Etheal, then the price could've tripled. With that out of the way, I wondered what few items would be sold.
Time passed as more items were going to be sold. Fay found something she was interested in and brought it. She had bought an artifact that would allow her to cast an illusion. Thankfully, it would only be on people with the same or lower mana than her.
Other exciting items were sold. A music box with a range of 1km could make anyone below the fifth rank asleep in a matter of time. It was good that the max range was 1km. Otherwise, no one would feel a bit safe with that around.
"Fay, when do you think the special item will be shown?" I didn't know how long this auction would last, so I asked the person I was sitting with.
"Senior, don't be so impatient. The special item is near. All the people who haven't spent their money would bid on it." Hearing her talk, it sounded like she knew what it was.
"Do you know what the special item is?" I questioned her.
"Heh! That would be a surprise!" She gave me a wink and looked back at the venue.
It didn't seem like she would tell me. All I could do was wait quietly and see what it was. The item that was being auctioned was sold.
"Everyone! Now that everything has been sold, the time has finally come! This is the item that you all have been waiting for!" Everyone cheered loudly, expecting something precious for the item to come.
The co-worker slowly dragged the item out. Everyone couldn't see what was inside it, but the size of the item would be enormous.
Taking out the cover, there was a mixed reaction that everyone could see. Some were too shocked by what it was, while others were disappointed. Not everyone here knew what was so special about this item.
"Folks, this item you see is an egg! You're wondering why this egg is the main attraction! Yes, it is an egg but not just any egg! This egg is from the dragon that attacked our town a few days ago." Had a dragon attacked this town? I didn't know much since I was isolated from the battle.
"Most of you may know the dragon that had attacked us with the monster tide was the group's leader. The dragon that was killed was a rank seven beast! This egg has the potential to reach the seventh rank upon being raised!" The people who weren't excited about the egg were now wanting it.
This egg would undoubtedly be expensive. Fay, beside me, was smirking, seeing everyone's reaction. "Is there something funny?" I asked what she found amusing.
"Oh, it's nothing." She simply smiled as she said that.
"Let's begin the auction! The starting price will be 100 Diamond Coins! The lowest you would be allowed to bid is 10 Diamond Coins!" The price was ridiculously high, and whoever said, "money is not everything to live!" I was pretty jealous that I couldn't obtain it. I doubt I could use my status as a Solaris to get it.
Numerous people tried to bid first, hoping they were on top of the pack. I couldn't do anything but sigh. Fay chuckled, seeing how I reacted.
"Senior, even if you got it, I don't think you could raise it well." Was she calling me poor? Or irresponsible? I couldn't say anything but curse at her.
"100 Black Diamond Coins!" Someone shouted in the crowd. The one who said it was a stern-looking old man, capable of doing business. He probably was a successful merchant or an owner of a company.
Most of the people stopped bidding because the price was already reaching a high point. 100 Black Diamond Coins equal to 100 million dollars in my old world.
"110 Black Diamond Coins!" Another person had outbid the old man, this time, it was a woman in her thirties wearing a fancy dress.
"120 Black Diamond Coins!" The old man then gave a more significant bid than the women
"150 Black Diamond Coins!" Another person had bid much higher than the previous price. Like the woman, she seems like a person in her twenties.
There weren't any bids after this. I don't think anyone would bring billions in an auction. You could get robbed after all.
With 150 Black Diamonds Coins being the max, the auction had finished. Some people were eyeing the prizes of others. I had nothing, so no one was looking at me. Having to do that, I left with Fay exiting the auction.
