Chapter 109: Finally Found It
Yet, no one dared to make a move. They exchanged tentative glances, as if seeking confirmation from one another.
Some shook their heads in refusal, while others' eyes gleamed with greed. The badge from Aur, however, made them regretfully abandon their desires.
"Pack this up for me." Aur replied carelessly as he jerked his hand, and the servant girl nodded as she hurriedly gave it to him tentatively.
After Aur took the Adamantite and looked at it with a satisfied expression on his face.
He kept it in his pocket and looked at the other remaining purple stones with a glint in his eyes.
"Break the other ones as well." Aur looked with his crimson pupil that was flickering.
"Well, it looks like there was a hidden gem here that I didn't even look at it from."
"Yes, young master." The servant girl said as she tentatively looked at the tenth master who was at the side with an expressionless face.
The tenth master nodded his head with a business smile slowly forming on his face again.
Seeing the confirmation of the tenth master, the girl started to scrape again. However, this time the rocks were all empty again with nothing in it, which made the tenth master sigh again.
However, in the sixth rock, a small black ring revealed itself.
"Young master." Unlike the Adamantite, the servant girl gave the ring without any hesitation with a confident look on her face.
Aur's eyes glinted as he took the ring, his expression cold, making it hard for anyone to know his thoughts from outer appearance.
"Should I start to cut again, young master?"
"No." Aur replied. "I will cut the others myself."
"Wh… what?" The servant girl was stunned.
"Pack it all for me." Aur asked with a cold tone.
"Yes, yes." The girl hurriedly nodded and packed the things for Aur as quickly as possible.
Before long, Aur left the shop, and the crowd who were watching all of these also silently dispersed with whispers among themselves.
The tenth master remained standing with his body trembling with rage deep down. "Why did one of the purple stones have an Adamantite on it?"
"Damn it, we had checked all these stones too…" He cursed with his body even more trembling with anger.
Although they could check it, it was only a vague one until the stone was actually cut. No one knew what was inside the stone.
Not even they could know it, so unfortunately, some treasure still skipped by.
After all, the people here weren't stupid enough. If looking inside the mana stones was so easy, it would never be a business to begin with.
"If it was a normal person, I could have bought it just then, but since it was a brat from the academy…" He gritted his teeth as he shook his head, returning to the store.
The servant woman trembled as she returned to the shop.
The moment she returned, her vision blanked out as she fell to the ground, face flat on it.
"Kill these whores into pieces and feed them to my pets." The tenth master said with a cold expression on his face.
"Yes, master." The strong man bowed. He was the one who had knocked her unconscious.
The tenth master's eyes turned cold as he looked at the girl being dragged away, having a miserable end for not even doing anything wrong.
However, the tenth master didn't care, as he considered these servants beneath him just a doll he could control and play with as he willed it.
"I lost profit on this one." He sighed.
"No, if my brother knows these, he would definitely use it against me. I need to find another way out." His eyes narrowed.
"Aur, huh? I need to take back that adamantite from you by hook or crook…" His eyes narrowed.
…
Aur casually walked around the caravan with a cold expression on his face as he looked around the place, searching for something.
Before long, he slowly made his way into the auction house, where there were numerous items on display.
Seeing all the items, Aur's eyes brightened.
"Young Lord, what would you like?" The servant looked at the badge that Aur was wearing with his eyes flashing with a smile.
"Hmm, I would like some material for my spell." Aur replied casually.
"Oh," The servant nodded and left the place.
Since the spell was a privacy, it was an unwritten rule for it not to be asked.
Although it was relatively easy to find the magic, the specific spell among the specific magic was still hard to find.
Aur looked at the specific material needed for him to upgrade his spells.
Although Aur was still far away from actually advancing his spell further, it wasn't bad to look for it either for future use.
As he skimmed through the list, he chose the one he needed fairly quickly to upgrade his spell.
"Now for the item I came here for." A small smirk appeared on his face as he went upstairs.
However, he was blocked by the guards respectfully. Aur took out his badge and showed it to them.
By his shining badge, the guards respectfully allowed him to enter the second floor, where there were a few people.
However, they all had robes like Aur or even better, indicating their status was way higher.
Some of the gazes were also drawn to the bulky, white, shoulder-length-haired youth, however, Aur didn't care much about it at all as he ignored them, searching everywhere.
"Where is it?" From the diary of Sebastian, he hadn't only gotten to know the inheritance, there were other news as well.
And the most that interested Aur was about a particular spell.
Finally, he found a strange pattern floating in mid-air, shining in a dimly revealing green light.
"This is the one I am looking for." Aur thought with a smirk on his face.
However, just then, a commotion came from outside, making Aur look back to see a pink-haired girl with a cold expression on her face wearing a simple black robe.
Her sleeves were folded, revealing her delicate, tender white hands.
"Amelia?" Aur had an expressionless face seeing her.
A crowd had already gathered around her, but she was entirely expressionless as she walked. The people side-lined themselves while Amelia walked past them.
Amelia looked around the place with some confusion before her eyes lit up, looking at Aur's direction.
She directly went up to Aur and walked past him, looking at the spell behind him with twinkling eyes.
"I want these. How much would it cost?" Amelia asked in a cold tone.
"This… This can't be bought. It is up for an auction." discover-stories-MVLeMpYr
"Oh, okay." Amelia nodded her head as the servant gave her a note.
"You have to write the number here. Whoever has the highest number will win."
Amelia raised her eyebrows hearing this. "That's new to me then."
"How much mana crystal should I put, hmm… How much is the base price again?" Amelia asked with a curious expression.
"It is written there as 10 middle-grade mana crystals."
