Chapter 5

Suddenly, the lights on the auction reduced, and a tall man walked from the back of the stage, and stand at the center of the small stage. The tall man had a big, bright smile on his face that makes him handsome. He was wearing a black suit, and a black shoes, and he's holding a long solid black stick. He looks more like a magician back on earth instead of an auctioneer.

“What a lovely evening! Welcome everyone to the auction. After a quite long wait, the auction has finally begun! I wonder that everyone here is excited just like me, Klark Oz!” Klark Oz smiled.

Everyone was excited as they all screamed as an agreement.

Klark Oz watched the reaction and said, “A friendly reminder again to everyone that a highly ranked guard stand on every corner of the auction. Once we all start, and your auction is unsuccessful, you cannot create a ruckus here!” 

After he finished his 'friendly' reminder, everyone finally realised why there's such an aura of an Indigo Rank Novice Level, and what's more crazy is there are 8 auras of an Indigo Rank! Now it explains why even royalties didn't make a ruckus that he did not have a private room on the second floor.

“In every seat, and private room had a list of the items available tonight! I know that everyone is excited, so, I declare that the auction has begun! Bring up the first item!” 

A lady dressed in black carried a tray covered in red cloth, and placed it on the auction table. After that, she went back to the back stage.

Klark Oz took away the red clothing and said, “This is the Legend Peridot, it contains strong spirit energy, and if it is forged into a weapon the result would be a Yellow Rank weapon! The strat of the bid is 500 gold coins, and every increase in price must be at 15% increases.”

The people below was in an astonishment! A Yellow Rank weapon can be on par with a Lime Rank Advance level, if you use it well, of course!

Soheila on the second floor was not interested in any of the things in the list instead, she just observed below since it's her first time in auction. It seems no one notice that she occupied one of the private room. 

The two little beast is in their constructional space, they can just listen to everyone bidding and Klark Oz voice. 

In the end, the so-called Legend Peridot was auctioned off for 2,000 gold coins. 

On the next ten items Soheila didn't pay any attention, but suddenly Klark Oz removed the red clothing of the 12th item. 

A bright red circle stone with a beautiful design engraved on it catch the attention of the ladies below.

“Everyone, this is the Garnet Stone that if you absorbed it, you'll level up! To anyone here who's stuck at the peak level, this would be a good item for you guys! The starting bid is 2,000 gold coins.”

Now, not only ladies also everyone below started to bid for this precious item. 

“3,000!”

“3,200!”

“4,000!”

“8,900!”

“10,000!”

Everyone stopped bidding when the Third Princess of the North Kingdom bid. No one dared to fight against a royalty. The people below thought that the Garnet Stone will auction off by the Third Princess.

“20,000.”

However, a calm voice coming from above rang on everyone's ears. They lift their head up to see whose voice is it, but only to see every curtain of the private room on the second floor is closed while the balcony is empty.

On the second floor...

The second floor?!

The people below was stunned when someone already occupies one of the private room on the second floor after thousands of years! It seems that the person is not afraid to be against of the Third Princess.

Meanwhile, Soheila is oblivious that she's the first person to occupy one of the private room on the second floor after thousands of years.

“Master, thank you! Thank you! I really need that item, if i eat that the injury I got for getting stepped on will heal.” Little Black and Sylvie came out of the Constructional Space with permission from Soheila, when he heard tge auctioneer said, “Garnet Stone.”

If anyone can hear that will be enranged. The precious item that they wanted was only to be eaten by a small hamster. Who wouldn't be mad about that?!

When everyone was paying attention on the second floor, the auctioneer rang the bell that means the Garnet Stone is now auctioned off by mysterious man or a woman.

The Third Princess didn't mame a fuss since it was a person from the second floor. Furthermore, her intention for the auction is the pills.

“Your Highness, should we...” 

Before the Knight said something, The Third Princess shooked her head as she says, “No, we didn't know the identity of that person. That person might be higher than us, so don't make a fuss. Besides, we're aiming for the Rebirth Pill.” 

While on Soheila's room, a Shop assistant already placed the Garnet Stone on the small tablein front of Soheila. 

“Thank you, you can go now.” Soheila said straightforward without even giving a glance on the Shop assistant.

“Here's your stone!” Soheila picked the Garnet Stone when the Shop assistant left. She lightly threw the Garnet Stone at Little Black.

“Thank you, Master! Huhu I love you so 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑧!” Little Black put the Garnet Stone inside his mouth. 

After some time, the people below are now in tensed specially for the people with a high status. Klark Oz slowly removed the red clothing, and a bunch of porcelain bottles showed up.

It is now Soheila's items that will be auctioned. She sat straight, and watch excitedly. It was so boring for hours, but now it's her items turn that makes her from being bored to being enthusiastic!

Money! Money! Money! 

That's in Soheila's mind.

“Now, this is what everyone's been waiting for.” Klark Oz picked one porcelain bottle, put it in his palms. “Everyone should know that the purity level of these pills are 80%! It is even higher to the top Alchemist of the North Kingdom! This is called Rebirth Pill, your Rank Level can level up by two to three times! Rebirth Pill can also cleanse your meridians, and make you a genius!” 

Everyone stopped breathing when they heard the description of the pill. However, someone raised his hand and asked, “Is the purity level of the pills are really 80%? Everyone should know that no one here nor the West, South, and East can refine an 80% purity level.”

Soheila's left brow slightly arched when she heard what he said. 

But Klark Oz just laughed and said, “If you want proof then, may I ask the Alchemist Guild to have one representative to come forward to check if it's real or not.”

After he said that, an Alchemist Guild Elder stood forward, he is also somewhat curious if it is real. Klark Oz hand over the porcelain bottle that he have in his palms awhile ago to the Elder.

An Alchemist Guild Elder's status is second only to the Vice President of the guild, so, everyone would believe him.

The Alchemist Guild Elder looked at the pill inside the porcelain bottle, and he was stunned! He almost lost his energy to hold the porcelain bottle that caused the porcelain bottle to almost fall from his hands. 

From his reaction, everyone could guest that the purity level of the pills is really 80%! It made the people stopped breathing until they turned purple. This is the first time they saw an 80% purity level of pills! The man who asked sat quietly while his hand that he raised was shaking. But Klark Oz saw the situation, and clapped his hands three times that made everyone come back from their senses.

“May the Elder of the Alchemist Guild reveal the truth?” Klark Oz smiled, while Soheila grinned when she saw the reaction of these humans. If everyone knew that she can make a perfect pill, they might die. Well, thanks to Little Black's scream, she only made 80% purity level accidentally.

The Alchemist Guild Elder caughed twice, and said, “Ye... Yes! It is really 80% purity level of pills!” 

“Well, then, thank you, Elder of the Alchemist Guild. So, does anyone want more proof?” No one answered, that made Klark Oz smile wider, and finally said, “The starting bid is 80,000 gold coins! You may start now!”

“100,000!” 

From a high status family said.

“140,000!”

“200,000!”

“250,000!”

From one of the Prestigious Clans said.

Soheila's eyes brightened when she heard the bid went higher and higher! Soheila looked in amusement, and shouted: “I'm rich! I'm rich! Money! Money! Money!” 

No one could hear it except the two little cute spirit beasts whose looking at Soheila in a weird look.

They never thought that their Master is this crazy! Looking at that big smile with her white teeth showing while her eyes is screaming 'Money!'

Crazy. Nevertheless, they will get benefit from it, sox I think it's fine being crazy.

“500,000!” The Third Princess finally bid.

“550,000!” One of the Prestigious Clans also bid.

The Third Princess didn't get mad because she know the reason, but most of the people bidding backs out, and didn't participate.

“600,000!” The Alchemist Guild bid.

The people who stepped out was relief that they back out. 

All of them had a great status, one is the Third Princess, one is from the Prestigious Clan, and the other is the Alchemist Guild.

However, the other guilds also bid which are the Beast Tamer Guild, Array Master Guild, and etc.

When the other three Prestigious Clans saw them bid which are the Harter Clan, Finland Clan, Keiya Clan, they also didn't hesitate to call out a bid.

In the end, the Third Princess won when she bid 1,200,000 gold coins.

Soheila was extremely happy about the result. It was just one bottle! She auctioned 40 porcelain bottles! How much will she get?

As a result, the Third Princess got 7 porcelain bottles that cost her 10,350,000 gold coins.

Meanwhile, the Four Prestigious Clan had 2 each that cost all of them 7,000,000 gold coins except for the Kim Clam who had 3 porcelain bottles that cost them 8,500,000 gold coins.

On the side, the Guilds got 5 each that cost them 9,200,000 gold coins.

If we all add it up together, its equals to 

85, 850,000 gold coins!

After the last item which is Soheila's pills auctioned, the auction is quiet, no one dared to talk after the intense battle of bids from the high statuses of the North Kingdom. 

But they composed themselves after 1 minute, when Klark Oz said, “That's it for tonight! See you in our next auction! I would like to remind the owner of the auctioned items to stay behind, thank you!” 

After he said that, he turned around, and get off the stage. While the people below, one by one left.

Meanwhile, on the second floor, Soheila js currently waiting for the Shop attendant to knock and enter her room while holding her precious gold coins. After five minutes of waiting, the Shop attendant knocked on Soheila's door, and entered.

“Prestigious Guest, we ordered one of our men to exchange your gold coins with a Crystal Indigo card. It would be easier for you to purchase in the future, if you use crystal cards.” The Shop attendant said, then he waves his hand, and crystal card appeared on his palms.

“The crystal card contains 83,274,500 golds coins. We took 3% servive charge, so, the original 85,000,000 gold coins decreased.” The Shop attendant respectfully handed the Crystal Indigo card to Soheila.

Soheila nodded, and calmed herself up. She's finally rich! She won't have a problem about money anymore! She took the Crystal Indigo card carefully, and with a wave of her hands, the Crystal Indigo card is now inside her space ring.

“Thank you so much! I will come back again, and I hope you guys keep my identity secret. I need to go now since it's already dark.” Soheila said to the Shop attendant.

“We will surely keep your identity secret, thank you for your trust. Please have a safe trip!” The Shop attendant bow a little to Soheila.

Soheila just smiled, and before she leave, she bid goodbye to the Shop attendant. 

“Finally, I can rest!” Soheila shouted when she entered her room and Sirene's.

“Yep, welcome back! Are you hungry? I cooked dinner.” Sirene shouted from the kitchen.

“I am, but I'm busy right now! The two little spirit beasts are hungry.” Soheila shouted as she entered her bedroom. 

She and Sirene seems to be become close ever since they had a chat together awhile ago. Well, Sirene is friendly while Soheila is crazy.

Soheila sat on the bed, and cleared her mind for one minute.

She needs a plan on how she'll find her parents. Her parents seemed to like hide-and-seek that even her father is hiding. 

Her plan at first, was to get out of the forest. Second, find somewhere to stay in for a moment. Third, is to gather information on ways to get out of this continent. Here on the Outer Realm had tons of continent, and she's at the Sidee Continent. But, since she will enroll at the Blue Moon Academy, which is the greatest academy. Her next plan is to grow stronger, her parents are in the Upper Realm, so, she needs to be stronger. Right now she's at the Yellow Rank Advance level and anytime soon she'll have a breakthrough. Before she leave the Outer Realm, she needs to achieve the Pink or Purple Rank at most. Once she arrived at the Upper Realm, she'll enroll on one of the sect.

Her last plan is to build a force. She need power to gather more information about her parents. This is hide-and-seek where her parents are the hiders, and Soheila as the seeker. But since her parents are hiding, someone out there should be a seeker, too. Just that Soheila is looking for her parents for good while the other one had bad intentions. So, she needs to be ready to this unknown enemy she'll face.
