chapter 36
36 – – 500, wounded young wolf – 2
It starts with 10000 gold.
They’re cheap for a wolf king’s bloodline, but they’re merchants. A merchant is a person who takes profits in any situation.
I can’t afford to give you a cheap price.
“No. 65! 10500 gold!”
“No. 90! 11000 gold!”
“No. 5! 13000 gold!”
“No. 14! 13700 gold!”
“No. 11! 15000 gold!”
“No. 51! 17000 gold!”
“6, number 65! 17800 gold!”
“No. 51! 20000 gold!”
With the price doubled in an instant, the auction house is buzzing. A sinister smile crept across the presenter’s face.
Ah, was it like that?
Auction is, after all, a sport that stimulates competition.
Set the price moderately low, and make as many people as possible pay for it.
they won’t want to lose The race of demons is born with a sense of selfishness. There is no big difference between a power fight that is fought with force and a money fight that is competed with wealth.
The price will skyrocket anyway because of them, so the organizers have nothing to lose. Rather, I would have benefited from it.
After all, the family of merchants is really interesting. When money is at stake, you become smarter than anyone in the world.
I feel the pleasure of fun while grasping their heart.
Alright then let’s see how far it goes up.
“Nine, ninety times! 21000 gold!”
“Number 37! 22000 gold!”
“No. 53! 24300 gold!”
“Number 76! 25000 gold!”
“Number 74! 27000 gold!”
It goes up and down without my intervention. However, it is still far from sufficient.
“27000 gold is out! There is no next person!”
“no. 1.”
Oh yes.
“50000 gold.”
“““… … … !!”””
You’re finally here.
Lilith Klanane. Although she is now the eldest daughter of the Duke of the West, she became the Grand Duke of the West and took the name of the Succubus Queen.
The auction house freezes at the cold voice that pierces your heart. The price jumped nearly 5 times from the initial offer by just one person. For 50,000 gold, which is not a small amount of money, some give up, some grind their teeth, and some become flagships.
Quite surprised, perhaps the presenter was also the same, he shouted loudly without even touching the loudspeaker. Even so, the voice itself was loud and clear.
“5, 50000 gold is out! Is there anyone else you want to call!”
his eyes tremble It was because he noticed that the price, which jumped up at once, dampened the desire to compete with others.
Of course, 50000 gold is by no means a small price, but it is the blood of the wolf king. Even if the price is not as expected by the organizers, it will be 100,000 gold.
Think about it, a piece of Dragon King Derou’s scale was sold for 4999 gold. And the Wolf King was an existence that fought at least once with Horus, the Dragon King, who was on the same level as the Dragon King.
It’s a story in a legend, and the bloodline must have faded a lot, but anyway.
And in fact, Rangwang Lua later becomes as strong as the Dragon King. It’s not for nothing that the nickname ‘the utopia of swordsmen in the shadows’ was attached.
It was Lua who assassinated the emperor of the empire, so what needs to be said?
“(More, stimulate it more! It won’t be seen by the audience! Make it go wild!)”
In the ensuing silence, the host looked at the back of the stage and shouted with an urgent expression.
Apparently, one of the people behind the stage picked up a long skewer, put it through the grate, and stabbed the wolf girl.
The girl, who was crouching on her knees as if she were dead, with her head buried between her knees, reacted violently to that sharp stimulus.
“Kyaaagh! Whoa! kong! I’m sorry! growl… !”
The girl instantly changed her stance into a wolf’s battle stance, and stared straight ahead with her back on the corner.
“Kong! Krrr! Kwong Kwong Kwong! growl… !”
The appearance overflowing with barbarism passionately fascinated the hearts of the demons who were watching.
An indomitable fighting spirit that does not collapse even if the body is damaged or the heart is ripped out. In the beginning, when the demons created the demons, they put the most effort into it.
Right now, the wolf girl vigorously pumped up the temperament of those demons.
“Ouch… ! No. 73! 53000 gold! I should buy that!”
“No. 44! 55000 gold! If you are confident, follow me!”
“No. 36! 56000 gold! Who knows what to be afraid of!”
“Number 24! 60000 gold! If it’s the blood of the king of wolves, that blood alone is a valuable experimental material!”
Anyway, what about the people who eat the marrow and the idiots who are being dragged around. I smiled at the ridiculous sight.
“no. 1.”
“Customer number 1, number 1?”
“One hundred thousand gold.”
“… !”
Until I heard Lilith’s second song, that is.
At the staggering price of 100,000 gold, the host’s face grew more and more ecstatic. It’s because I pulled out the original.
The auctioneers turned their heads and glared in the direction the sound came from. I turned my head as well.
“One hundred thousand gold. Do you have any objections?”
A girl with skin white enough to believe it was a snowflake, hair black like black snow, and red eyes like blood.
At first glance, it looks similar to my sister Adela, but it is different. It feels different.
Adela is pale. The color of the face, the color of the face, everything is like that. But that succubus girl is not like that. The girl, dressed in a luxurious black dress and accompanied by several bodyguards, exudes an air of arrogance.
The arrogant demon aristocrat, Lilith Klanane. A conscientious demon who was in debt to a saint in her previous life and forgot her duty as a demon.
The age group looks similar to me. About 15 to 16 years old in human terms? The Demon King and I, Lilith, were in the same age range. In reality, it must be between the ages of 9 and 10.
Demons grow faster than humans. This is the calculation taking that into account.
“Li, Lilith! I’m here for some reason… !”
“Lilith? Lilith of the Duke of the West? sh*t… !”
“under… How to beat the duke family with capital… !”
“sh*t… Even if I didn’t spend more money than planned because of the guy who was talking about number 99 earlier… .”
Almost all demons are frustrated in front of an insurmountable wall. The value of Lilith’s name, to be exact, the ‘Clanine’ family attached to it is too great.
The auction scene in the previous life was similar to this.
What would you do if you dared to steal what Lilith Klanine wanted and incur a grudge? Ordinary demons cannot handle the wrath of one of the top families in the demon realm.
It was not the money, but the back ship that gave in. terribly unsightly.
The virtue of an auction is to compete only with property and psychological warfare.
“Poem, poetry, 100,000 gold is out! Do you have any more-!”
The presenter, who has been promised the expected price, exclaims excitedly. There is no demon to react.
At this rate, Lilith’s winning bid is final.
“Heh.”
Lilith, who rarely laughed, smiled. it’s a mocking smile
It is also a smile soaked in a sense of victory and superiority that sits heavily on the auction house.
“Kick-kick.”
What should I do, I want to press down on that arrogant nose.
If you act so arrogant in front of a bad boy like me, then I have no choice.
“Hey, number 99.”
The man sitting next to me spoke to me. Turning his head slightly, he said, waving his moustache in a W shape.
“You’ve been meddling in all sorts of auctions since before, are you going to keep your mouth shut this time?”
I answered in a clear voice.
“Gigkick, I guess you were watching me carefully?”
“Because it stands out so much. And that mask.”
“I guess I can’t hide my presence. Alas, this is obviously a headache. Why does this map feel good?”
“… And, while offering such a price, I have never won a successful bid. As if the only purpose was to raise the price.”
“Oh, are you correct? But, let’s talk a little later.”
“… ?”
“I have to auction now. A real auction, not a fake as before!”
Before the moderator sounds the confirmation of the winning bid, I mean.
“yes-! Then, because no one is stepping out-! As it is, the descendant of the king of wolves to customer number one… !”
“No. 99!”
attention is drawn The spotlight that had only shone on Lilith until now falls on me. I proudly stood up, spread my arms wide and shouted.
“One hundred thousand gold!”
“… ! I’m out! Customer number 99! Poetry, one hundred thousand gold!”
Those who had only glared at me until now send me a tearful glance. I guess I didn’t know I had this much capital.
“It’s hard-.”
Or maybe it’s because I etched gold into the proud succubus girl’s pride.
“No. 1, 110,000 gold.”
“No. 99! Ten thousand gold!”
“no. 1. Thirty thousand gold.”
“No. 99! Thirteen thousand gold!”
“no. 1. 150,000 gold… !”
“No. 99! Fifty thousand gold!”
The important thing is not to lose your composure.
Thus, to make our young Lilith feel the fear of the unknown about how much the author’s capital may be.
No matter how well they were treated, there is fear as long as they are demons. Acknowledge it, just don’t realize it.
With only a bright smile on his face, he raises the price without an inch of shade. The important thing is the repetition of 1 gold increase.
‘No matter what price you offer, I will only raise 1 gold. You can’t beat me no matter what price you offer’ psychological pressure.
The method of crushing is to compete all day by increasing 1 gold each, but… Will that proud Lilith tolerate it?
“dare! To rebel against Lilith Klanane, the heir of the Klanane family! Do you even have multiple lives!”
Lilith clenches her fists and lashes out at me.
I think he did that to the saintess when she visited Tartarus.
It was a direct threat that was not allowed in the sacred auction house, but the moderator was not big enough to dare to stop Lilith.
Lilith knows that, so she’s threatening.
“Several? How do demons have multiple lives?”
“Of course not! It means you are not afraid of death!”
“ha ha ha! As long as you don’t die!”
“this guy! The moment you leave this auction house, your five bodies will be cut off and your limbs will be shattered!”
“Oh, are you being too cruel? But why did you talk so much? Aren’t you paying attention to the auction? Oh, are you already lagging?”
“… ! Two hundred thousand! Two hundred thousand gold!”
Lilith, whose face turned red at my sarcastic remarks, raised the price. Are you trying to make people realize the difference in capital?
You’ll soon realize that it’s a pointless struggle. Lilith Klanane.
“No. 99! Twenty thousand gold!”
“no. 1! Two hundred and fifty thousand gold! Wherever you go, keep following me! Until your assets are gone! I’ll shake you off and eat you!”
“Oh my goodness! would you like to eat me? I’m curious about the sweet night with the succubus… We are fluids! Forbidden Love! Deviation not permitted!”
“… ! Mu, mu, what nonsense! Moon, what a sweet night!”
“What? Did you really want a muddy night? Haa, how else should I demonstrate my unparalleled technique… But then, Miss Lilith will not be able to forget her one night with me and will not be able to fulfill her duties as a succubus… For now, 250,000 gold!”
Lilith’s face, which had been dotted with anger and absurdity, gradually matured into red. A arrogant aristocratic lady is inexperienced at night. It is no different from a succubus that feeds on men’s spirits.
In addition, I slowly have doubts about my cheerful shout, where not a single hesitation can be found.
It’s a lot of money, 250,000 gold is a lot of money, so how can you bet money like it’s not a big deal? That could be read from Lilith’s expression.
There is also a sense of embarrassment that cannot be hidden. Nara was embarrassed by the appearance of a strange species that openly rebelled against herself, an extremely rare natural monument beyond the greenhouse flowers that no one had ever treated carelessly.
If it was a mature Lilith who knows how to giggle and use a poker face, it wouldn’t have gone this smoothly. Are you a kid?
*****
Noisy.
it hurts.
so painful.
scared.
Everyone, please stop.
10,000 gold, 100,000 gold… Why is something that I can’t eat become the same value as mine?
I am the king, the king of wolves.
What are you filthy demons, why are you deciding my value?
i will kill them all
Even though they are now trapped in cold iron, I will tear them to pieces and kill them.
I will kill you in the most terrible way in the world.
therefore.
Please stop before I kill you… .
so painful… … .
