61 – Arbiter of Queen Adria 17

The last day of the Benessa Eastern Trade Market.

At this time when the curtain of the finale, when funds and goods flowed so enormous that it could affect the entire continent,

Finally, holding their breath, the black knights hiding in the darkness began to move.

Those who were firmly armed with dark armor of black or purple system.

The sight of dozens or hundreds of them marching forward with combat weapons in their hands in formation, even though they were simply walking along the street, the visual intimidation they gave was really no joke.

“It’s those guys.”

“Sakiel… the guys who are taking over the continent’s underground economy. It’s something I feel every time I see them, but they’re a lot of catchers who come without use.”

To Tilda’s words mixed with deep discomfort, Ophelia also nodded in sympathy.

When they were adventurers, they only heard stories, but none of them were good stories.

The overall evaluation is that if you don’t want to get involved in troublesome things, it’s best not to touch them as much as possible.

The fighting power of each of them was not as strong as most of the tramp knights.

However, there were basically a lot of numbers, and above all, as they were moving as an organization rather than an individual, it was easy to get frustrated by being entangled like candy.

The appearance of Milan Square, crowded with such troublesome things, was also a bizarre spectacle in its own way.

“If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s not an auction, but an armed demonstration.”

“It’s a kind of show off, that no one can touch the Sakiel Knights. At the same time, as there is still a fight going on between them, there is also a part of the fight against the other organization.”

“Anyway, we need to be careful. Even though it is said that there is an agreement, in such a situation, if even a minor mistake occurs, there is a high possibility that it will be a fight right away.”

said Ophelia, feeling as though she were seeing armies confronting each other on the verge of war, to which Tilda nodded and spoke to her with concern.

“Okay, let’s hear it. Your master is also participating in this auction? Be careful. Don’t provoke them for nothing.”

“I know. I hope you and Bertina-sama finish well.”

With those words, Ophelia heads straight to the place where her master is waiting.

Seeing this, Tilda felt a little uneasy, but she too hurriedly began to move to finish the order given by her master.

Sakiels in armor filled the auction hall of Calais Castle

Although all of those who entered this place had their weapons confiscated, depending on the situation, it was possible to engage in hand-to-hand combat using armor as a weapon, so the atmosphere was quite hideous.

In such an atmosphere, Bahamut was observing the situation from a position far away from these hordes.

And, by his side, Ophelia stayed close to him as closely as possible, providing close security.

She is burning with her will not to slow down even for a moment.

It was to the point where even the Sakiels seemed to be secretly trying to keep their distance from that menacing sign.

‘What shall I say? Sachiel is also Sakiel, but to be honest, I feel more afraid of Ophelia because he is like this…’

Ophelia looks like a wolf trying to protect her master.

It is hard to imagine that he is the same person as the very cute person who usually wriggled like a kitten in his arms.

Seeing this aspect of Ophelia, Bahamut involuntarily began to smile slightly bitterly.

And. The auction finally started in front of them.

“Welcome everyone! Finally, the long and long oriental auction has finally come to an end today! The last theme that many people have been waiting for! We will proceed with the arms and equipment auction!”

Even in this atmosphere, the host speaks with a lively voice.

The atmosphere was no problem for him, who already had a sense of professionalism in this field.

As a bonus, there is no reason to feel awkward as there is quite a bit of auction experience with Sakiels.

As the serious atmosphere was relieved a little, the prepared auction items finally began to appear.

“The first auction item is a bow made from elephant ivory! A glorious weapon known to be usable only by the great warriors of India! I will decide who will be the owner, right here and now!”

“60 talents!”

“68 talents!”

“78 talents!”

It was a simple bow at first glance, but a bow that started to have a considerable price from the start.

However, in the current auction, there was another difference other than the fact that the starting price was simply high.

‘Sure.. business, but the root is Sakiel.. To put it our way, they’re gangsters.

In previous auctions, there were frequent cases where 100 to 1,000 units of silver were bet with some caution.

However, the people here are Sakiels who are literally risking their lives on Gao.

The calculation of using silver coins was not in my head from the beginning, and I was only conducting transactions with talent.

“134 talents!”

“damn!”

Short swear words heard at the same time as someone’s declaration

And after a brief silence, the host raised his voice and declared the successful bid.

However, at this moment, Bahamut did not pay attention to the bow that one Sakiel was carrying with a triumphant expression on his face.

What’s getting on his nerves right now…

‘I see… those people were there too.’

Of all the people here, the two are the ones Bahamut is most wary of.

A woman with silver hair and a woman in a maroon robe

They were participating in an auction that did not turn out as expected, and seeing this, Bahamut regained his emotions.

‘It’s okay.. It’s not confirmed yet.. Plus there’s Ophelia. Bertina helped too. I’m sure there will be no problems. And… if they really are, in some ways rather…’

Even as he soothed himself, Bahamut felt a burning sensation in his stomach and waited for this scheduled time to come as soon as possible.

Various auction items followed.

With spears and swords as standard, hammers, axes, armor, and even canvases, the atmosphere inside the auction house began to heat up more and more in many ways.

“The helmet of the prince of Vietnam, which was an auction item this time! It was sold for 400 talents!”

“You damn thing!”

In an instant, a Sakiel loses his temper and starts to run amok.

Even though the people around him came forward and stopped him. Through this, it was a part that everyone could know that the situation was getting worse and worse.

‘After the auction, there’s sure to be an uproar. Maybe it’s already waiting near this castle…’

Of course, they wouldn’t try to massacre unrelated civilians at random, but there’s no law against getting caught up in bad luck.

It’s best to let them bite and bite each other as much as possible, and get away with only money and stuff.

However, it wasn’t just Sakiels who couldn’t accept the auction results and were showing increasingly fierce reactions that were making Bahamut nervous at this moment.

So far, quite a few items have been put up for auction.

But despite all that variety, the two women in question hadn’t bought anything so far.

It wasn’t the same feeling because I was simply not interested.

like. The feeling of waiting for something.

As he thought about it, Bahamut’s anxiety began to grow.

‘No way.. are those people really waiting?.. for that weapon to come out as an auction item..’

To be honest, most of the weapons on display here were focused on ornamental use rather than practicality.

But… that.

The only thing Bahamut had been paying attention to was different.

The weapon that resembles a cutter knife…

Apart from its unusual appearance, it was Bahamut who was aware of spoilers, so I could see its true value.

‘Kaal’s Greatsword.. One of the strongest weapons in the novel Fallen Warrior. It’s an end-of-life weapon that doesn’t break or lose its teeth no matter what, and has deceptive powers that amplify the power of condensation several times when it contains magical power..’

Originally, it was a weapon used by Isaac, the main character of the original work, in the final battle, and honestly, Bahamut, while watching this, was conflicted until the end, wondering if it would be better to remove this item from the auction.

But… he couldn’t do that.

There was also a part about credit, but it was crucially because of those two people.

If I did something that violated the principles, it might spark a fuss.

In order to prevent this, the process of putting out the goods and proceeding with the auction had to go through.

‘In that sense, please.. the auction should go smoothly…’

Bahamut feels so anxious and his mouth feels dry.

at that time.

“master.”

“!..”

next moment. Ophelia calls to herself in a quiet voice.

In response, Bahamut’s gaze turned to the intended place, and at the same time, his face changed very slightly.

And..

“Then the next step is this! A greatsword with a grotesque appearance. The source and use are all unknown, but one thing is certain, the skill of the person who made this great sword is definitely not ordinary! Something for you with unusual tastes! You guys decide the right value for this right now!”

A greatsword resembling a cutter knife positioned in the center of the stage.

At the same time, a woman in a maroon robe began to lighten her eyes slightly.
