Lord of the Truth

Chapter 202 Gold

Grand auction halls... where the most rare and precious items are sold, where the wealthiest and the strongest compete with each other to win them

To hold such an auction and invite the powerhouses of the Kingdom, then it must contain many types of strong beasts hides, Weapons, Natural resources, Tough minerals, and many more....

It is one of the most important practices on the continent and in almost every city there is at least a small hall, especially the auction halls in the ancient Ducal cities are the most prosperous and rich in treasures

But those ancient auction halls often take a year or more to collect enough resources to call for an auction

And of course, the ultimate number one is the Capital Auction Hall, which is an event that takes place every five years and brings together all the nobles of the Kingdom, no matter what they are doing, they must leave everything aside and go to have look there.

However, the main role of the *auction hall* has changed in recent years.

With the emergence of Grand Juraʼs auction hall that contains nothing but Runes, and only recently a few categorized weapons have begun to be sold as well, and it is held once a month which is an extremely fast pace!

And during the rest of the month, the auction hall remains open for selling fixed-price talismans.

Jura auction hall has undoubtedly become the focus of everyoneʼs attention as of late, taking the limelight of the Capital Auction Hall, even as it is selling the same items every month, the high level nobles would rather go there than the Capital Auction Hall of they are both held in the same day!

Actually, there is no noble family inside the Black Sun Kingdom without people who are always In Jura to find out if there is news, and try to buy something useful for them or for their families if the money is available

But recently, as if the Burton family thought this interest in their auction hall wasnʼt high enough... they announced a public sale of a Minor Heavenly law Cultivation technique!!

Billy spared no effort in publicity as Robin recommended, and indeed the whole kingdom has been upended over the past two months by the news.

Regardless of Juraʼs auction, this was the first time in the kingdom and perhaps the entire continent that a Minor Heavenly Law Cultivation Technique is to be sold!!

Civilian merchant families, smaller military families, big gangs and desert bandits, and lone cultivators have been looking for an opportunity like this for ages...

they all resolved to go and have a look.

Even though they all knew that an auction like this will end by selling the Minor Heavenly Law Cultivation Technique with millions of gold coins, even if they were sure that it is impossible for them to even look at it...

But this is still a unique moment in the history of the kingdom and at least they should take part in this, maybe this event will be the spark that will allow for more Minor Heavenly Law Cultivation Technique to be sold in the future...

The noble families from the oldest to the youngest also decided to attend, and with the presence of major family figures this time and not the usual representatives, many families sent their patriarchs personally to Jura!

All the great noble families would like to increase their options, and all the small noble families would dream of one more choice when nurturing a new knight...

12 days later -- Auction Hall reopening day -- Robin Palace

”Robin!” Billy went straight into the Palace and yelled excitedly, ”Where are you? The opening ceremony starts soon.”

About a minute later, Robin climbed down the stairs with a smile on his face, ”Finally...”

”Oh? You seem as excited as me or more, that is rare... you want those 25 million this bad?” Haha,” Billy chuckled, ”but I warn you, an auction of a technique will give you no more than a million or two If the technique is good enough and the guests are in a good mood, donʼt get your hopes up too much, Iʼm afraid you wonʼt be collecting those 25 million gold coin today my friend.”

”Auction ... Who said anything about an auction?” Robin exclaimed with a raised eyebrow and moved towards the gate

”...Hah?” Surprised Billy, no auction? but what about all those advertisements..?! At least tell me what you intend?!”

”Send people to carry the scrolls and tablets from the front of my private room and send them into the auction hall,” said Robin, turning his back to Billy, ”Iʼll be waiting there, when the time comes to announce the technique tell me, I will personally introduce my creation this time.”

Billy furrowed his eyebrows lightly, then quickly sped down the stairs, but soon came to a stop and opened his eyes wide, ”Oh… my God…”

---------------------------

”29 thousand gold coins!”

”The gentleman in the fourteenth row says 29,000, is there any higher bidder?”

”32 thousand, this tablet will not belong to anyone but me!”

”Hmph, 35,000 thousand gold coins, itʼs mine!”

”Dammit!”

”35 thousand... 35 thousand... Are you bidders? .... Single-use thoughts conveying Technique tablet, Sold to Anonymous Bidder No. 641”

”Next time, it will definitely be mine!”

Itʼs already been a few hours since the reopening ceremony, yet the competition didnʼt subside for a moment.

The first bidding started by selling only a Package of 50 Level Six Fire Explosion Talismans, but it was still quite exciting for everyone, and the Package was sold at 3000 gold coins, with means 60 gold coins per one... thatʼs more than thrice the initial price for this kind of talisman!

All those present were either well-known nobles, famous merchants, or even anonymous individuals who wear masks and refused to reveal their identity, but there was one thing that was common among all of them... Gold!

They all came with carriages laden to the brim with bags full of gold!

This is undoubtedly the largest gathering of golden coins that the kingdom has witnessed throughout its history.

Never before has an event been held that called for these numbers of wealthy people to prepare all this money and gather in one place!

Had they not known about the existence of the new car park that was built next to the auction hall and the tight security on it, and the Burton family bears responsibility for securing them on their way out of Jura City, todayʼs event would not have been possible, not with this sight at least...

Even Robin himself, on his way to the auction hall, saw the flashy carriages and the bags of gold and precious stones on them, started to drool, thinking, *All this will become mine today!!*

But he quickly restrained his thoughts and began to think how impractical this method of exchanging resources was.

In the end, gold is just a heavy and flashy-looking metal, why is it used alone in transactions? Why is there no higher-level currency that is easy to carry around to lighten peopleʼs burdens while traveling?

He has no doubt that some of those who intend to come today did not arrive because of the bandits attacking them on the way...

This is simply disturbing and may cause many commercial transactions to be discouraged just because of the concern about the way the gold will be transported!

In the end, he decided to put his thoughts behind him temporarily, and made his way to the hall...

Today, he has a show to host!
