The Strongest Wingless Gargoyle

Auction day.

With all the preparations for the trip thrown round Ray, I was still on my normal day for the auction.

The time is already evening.

I even got the job done early today.

Now at the Manzas Pavilion with Lew and the others are launching after work.

It's a little early to eat, but the auction starts at night, so it's also tummy.

There's more than two hours to get started.

Besides, we'll be leaving tomorrow morning for Menardo.

At night, too late, it sounds like the next day.

It will be the last time I am in this city today.

They say this is also my farewell party.

I'm not going to come back because Tris is here...

Depending on Cliff's story, I don't know when he'll be back.

I'm telling Lew and the others that I'll be gone tomorrow.

Exactly, I never even touched on the Demon King thing.

"Thanks for your help... don't forget me"

"It's still early to say... there will be an auction left, but I can't forget it or anything, it's too thick for you"

"Well, Lew can't forget me, Mr. Hutts."

".................. Lew"

Hatsu stares at Lew.

"Why are you telling Hatsu..., don't even stare at Hatsu because it's his usual joke"

"Ha ha... wow"

"Damn it!

This heart-warming touch? Will it be over tomorrow too...

I miss you a little bit.

We'll have a crappy chat with them till time.

"No, are those Flame Lizards still getting a little flirty?

"No, I haven't seen it since, you know?

Lew asks the twins.

"Oh, rumor has it, it was a trip to another city."

Ichi answers our questions.

"Huh? Really?

"Oh, I was embarrassed in front of the public."

"Maybe I'm embarrassed I can't be in this city anymore, man."

Right... have you left the city?

You left like the wind, those guys.

It's a little shameful, and the mental is weak.

I thought you were coming for revenge because that's all I stirred up...

Now I was gonna smash him to pieces with dignity...

I asked the Elf Guard to escort you to an outdoor training area when you came to the hall, but you've been wasted.

Oh, speaking of revenge, you haven't met the gargoyles who broke up in the woods yet.

It's been over ten days since I've been here.

Sometimes you won't see this city because it's huge.

If we stay like this, we're going to end up not seeing each other.

Haven't you had a chance to punish me after all?

It just leaves me feeling a little moistened.

Dinner's over and it's time for us to head to the auction venue.

They say the venue is about thirty minutes' walk southeast of the Unified Guild.

I'm also free to walk in silence, so on the road, I asked Lew about the auction.

This auction was proposed by Ray and has been open for two hundred years, bringing together rare items from all over the world.

Initially, it was on a scale such as a venue for local residents to interact, but rumors spread and now it is not an exaggeration to say that it is one of Kleife's attractions.

It seems that there are no restrictions on items in this auction, basically anything that is listed ok.

However, you are free to hold on to expensive items, but at your own risk.

As a result, many participants who are not confident in their arms, such as merchants, ask mercenary guilds to escort them home.

If you win an expensive item, it doesn't mean anything if you get raided and taken away on your way home.

The listing costs a thousand gold as a fee, regardless of whether or not you have won the bid.

In the event of a successful bid, an additional 10% of the successful bid amount will be collected.

I can sell anything for what it's worth, if not for what it's worth.

Wyburn meat can also be sold.

If you don't greed and set the lowest bid high, you won't be able to sell it.

If you think about it, you should have sold Berea's hair at auction.

Well, I can't help but say what's done now.

I've met a change, an encounter I can't buy with money.

Let's do it.

I arrived at the auction venue when I was talking.

Do an auction outdoors, not in the building.

In the center, a stage of circular stone, which would have been made of earth magic, a step higher than the circumference of about 5 meters in diameter, is illuminated blindly by light demonic stones located on the outer perimeter of the stage.

Behind the stage is a line of uneven and triangular tents, this is the seller's tent.

Lew and I broke up at the entrance to the venue.

The seller is given an appeal time for the product.

As its appealing role, Lew, the twins accompany him as an assistant.

That's why Lew and the twins are on standby in the back tent.

The product has already been transported to the venue.

Nothing I could have appealed to.

Lew and the others stopped me for some reason.

The reason is to say something extra.

I'm not convinced.

Sit on one of the benches for participants, set up several in front of the stage, and wait for the auction to begin.

"Hey Alberto, can I get next door?

Then there was a familiar voice from the side.

"Hmm? Oh Ray, or is the job good?

"I'm done with my work, I'm going to have a rare item on the market today, so I thought I'd take a look, so I guess it's full today."

Ray sits next to me.

"Well... I didn't think the egg shell was getting that much attention"

"No, well... yeah, you are. If it's rare, you haven't lost. But what I'm saying is something different, something that's probably interesting to you too."

Right... no?

But it's something interesting for me too, isn't it?

Start time is approaching.

Ray was right, the bench installed was full, and the people standing by came out as well.

It's time, and a man from Lesser Demon appears on stage who looks like a facilitator who came in a black suit.

"Thank you all for waiting so long, I would like to start today's auction with this"

This is the beginning of the auction.

Looking forward to seeing how much it will cost.
