Chapter 134 The Value of One Sword (3)
Blaze, the famous sword.
Listening to the moderator’s explanation, Marquis Valentino recognized at once how great the value of Blaze was.
‘The true value of the blaze is not simply because the mana reactivity is 10 levels. In the meantime, numerous famous swords were sold at the Adelian auction house, but none of them had a level 10 mana response. Step 7 needle. It has a symbolism that it has broken down a 10-step area that not everyone has experienced, rather than being highly valued because it has a three-level higher mana reactivity.’
the first.
The desire to win the bid was infested with the rarity alone.
However, the moderator said that it increases the ability of the aura along with the mana reactivity, and if that was true, it was a shocking performance.
A sword cannot play a role other than its original weapon.
Unless the magicians separately enchanted it, they could not exert the effect of escaping the role of the sword.
Master Sword and Magic Sword.
It was the prosecutors’ dilemma.
In order to express the aura with all one’s strength, a pure weapon must be used, but in the case of incomplete swordsmen, even if they use such a famous sword, the effect cannot be maximized, so they preferred magic swords.
As a popular magic sword, there is a sword enchanted with sharpness.
However, when he rose to the ranks of masters called rankers, the existence of a master sword that could perfectly utilize his aura was worth spending a fortune on.
‘Aura swordsmen would covet it even if they robbed it of all their possessions. And the first also means the next. If the artisan who made this sword sends the second and third swords to the market. The value of Blaze, which has the meaning of the first, will inevitably rise as time goes by. The collection of artisans is recognized for its symbolism just by being the first, regardless of the level of ability.’
The result of considering complex factors.
The Marquis Valentino had a strong desire.
Known as a collector in Cairo, he had the idea that he wanted to take possession of the Blaze somehow.
‘It would be a very happy thing if such a famous sword was included in my collection.’
There was no reason to hesitate.
The winning bid is 600 gold.
Just when people were looking at each other, Marquis Valentino gave a signal.
“AA AA AA! Customer number 53 called for a double, and the winning bid was 1200 gold! This is truly an unprecedented winning price in the history of the Adelian auction house!”
1200 gold.
It was an overwhelming amount.
Except for the screaming moderator, everyone was at a loss for words, and even number 12 couldn’t hide his bewilderment.
Twice.
It did not simply mean acknowledging the value of 1200 gold, but expressed a will to win the bid no matter what amount the opponent offered.
To be honest, I thought I would follow through with number 12 as well.
I decided that it was worth offering more than 1200 gold, but since the opponent was the Marquis of Valentino, I couldn’t act hastily.
Collector of greed.
On this floor, he knew that if he confronted a man with a maddening appetite for collecting, he might see blood.
In the past, a person who was recognized for his wealth in Cairo competed fiercely with the Marquis Valentino and won the bid at an absurdly high price.
If it ended like that, it would have been possible to finish the job as a winner, but after that, the Marquis Valentino put financial pressure to steal the winning item.
The wealthy man, who had already spent a lot of money at the auction, suffered from persistent pressure and eventually sold the items he had won at a bargain price and walked the path of downfall.
The main character is the Marquis Valentino.
When he expressed his strong will, it was good for him to take a step back.
at last.
bang bang!
“Customer #53 won the bid for 1200 gold 1200 gold!”
A treasure that caused an uproar at the Adelian auction house.
The master of the famous sword Blaze became the Marquis of Valentino, a wealthy man in Cairo.

The auction is over.
Marquis Valentino moved to receive the winning bid.
At the huge jackpot of 1200 gold, Maurice, the auction house manager, greeted the Marquis with a smile.
“How can I proceed with payment?”
“Let me pay you right now. That way, we can bring the blaze as quickly as possible.”
“All right.”
It was indeed a way worthy of fame.
Usually, when the winning bid is high, it takes time to make money, but the Marquis Valentino didn’t have to.
let him signal
The subordinates moved the box containing the gold coins.
The Marquis Valentino looked at Maurice and said,
“Exactly 1300 gold.”
“The payment is 1200 gold.”
“How could I not know that? 1200 gold is for the blaze and 100 gold is my personal gift. I’m a sure deal guy. I understand that Adelian Auction House strictly protects anonymous transactions, but people need to be flexible to keep customers like me to the end. Tell me who the craftsman who made the sword is. I would like to meet the artisan in person without ever being exposed to his involvement with the Adelian Auction House.”
It was the devil’s whisper.
Under the condition of a huge price of 100 gold.
Marquis Valentino wanted to meet the anonymous father-in-law.
I was curious about the face of the person who genuinely created Blaze, not what I was trying to do with him.
how the hell
Did you make such a famous sword?
“… sorry.”
Shuk.
Maurice pushed the box away.
100 gold money.
He was also covetous.
In fact, even anonymous owners secretly buy and sell information, but this case was not included in the category of transactions.
Think about it. Blaze’s owner trusted Adelian Auction House and entrusted the item.
The fee for this transaction alone was a whopping 120 gold, but if he kept his trust, he might be able to entrust the goods in the future.
It was a matter of profit and loss.
It was for the Adelian Auction House to keep the trust with the craftsman who made the Blaze to the end, even if it meant losing a big player like the Marquis of Valentino.
in a determined attitude.
The Marquis Valentino took a step back.
“Hmm. Then there is nothing you can do.”
“Thank you for understanding my situation.”
“no. It would be a natural choice from the auction house’s point of view. However, next time the craftsman sends an item to auction, please tell me first.”
“All right.”
The transaction was completed smoothly.
pay the bill
Marquis Valentino, who received the goods, was impressed once again after checking Blaze’s condition.
“amazing.”
It was truly art.
A smooth blade and the ability to respond to mana.
Even the Marquis Valentino, who collected countless famous swords, had never seen a craftsman who made this type of sword.
so that.
He called his subordinates and ordered them.
“From now on, spread the rumor all over Cairo. No matter how great a sword is, its value increases only when it is known to people. And no matter how much you invest, find the craftsman who made the blaze. Perhaps, judging from the fact that it was first traded at the ‘Adelian Auction House’, we need to check Dmitri’s Master Blacksmith first.”
“I will follow your orders.”
greedy collector.
That nickname didn’t come for nothing.
He would definitely find out the identity of his father-in-law, and he would do anything to build a relationship with him.
pure desire.
What he wanted wasn’t that great.

Anonymous owner.
Lucas reacted bewildered at the winning bid amount of 1080 gold, excluding the commission.
“… I never thought I would get this much.”
before auction.
He also used the information network to check the market price.
There was a case of a needle that was successful in bidding for 300 gold, so I thought 900 gold, three times more than that, was the last line of successful bidding.
It was a decision he made knowing how great a sword the Blaze was.
Depending on people’s financial circumstances, he thought that it could drop to around 800 gold, but the Marquis Valentino showed his intention that he could offer more than 1200 gold, which was not enough.
In an instant.
Earned 1000 gold.
Considering that the Barco family collapsed because they couldn’t afford thousands of gold debts, it was an unbelievable value for a single sword.
‘How far will the alternative lord go?’
Roman Dmitry.
It is the monster that defeated Butler.
However, even with such monstrous abilities, he made a sword that craftsmen could not make even after decades of hard work.
At first, I thought it was possible because of Dmitri’s bloodline.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, the effect of amplifying the ability of the aura was a skill that Dmitri did not have, and Roman seemed to have created his own domain.
As time went on, the limits could not be predicted.
If Roman wants to succeed as a blacksmith, Dmitri will face another revival.
‘My master told me to use the money from selling the sword as a fund for the information guild, but 1000 gold is not an amount I can afford. As soon as the lord finishes the closing training, let’s inform him of this and return all the winning bid money.’
he didn’t know
Although he hid his identity anonymously, he knew that the fact that the Dmitri family was famous for their blacksmithing skills would be the reason why their tails were stepped on in the first place.
A month-long hiatus from Roman’s closed training.
Meanwhile, a lot was happening outside.
* * *
About 15 days until the competition.
Time is running out.
In the fast-paced time, Chris was even more eager to prepare for the competition.
hook!
right in front of you.
The sword grazed his face.
Henderson looked for Chris’ loopholes with a sharp attack, but Chris didn’t waver at all.
“It was a reckless attack.”
Took!
Quadang!
I walked my feet.
Henderson rolled miserably on the floor and tried to get up quickly, but before he knew it, he had a wooden sword pointed at his neck.
Henderson gave a pitiful look.
No matter how many sparring he had done, his face was not clear, but it was hard to accept the fact that he had been defeated helplessly rather than the pain from his body.
“… lost.”
“Efforts are imaginary, but the sharpness of the attack is always lacking. When you throw the odds, don’t forget that your opponent may be waiting for it.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
The sparring is over.
Chris said at the sight of Henderson stepping away helplessly.
“next.”
fortnight ago.
Roman predicted infinite competition.
It was the beginning of a war.
After the war with Hector, the subordinates, who had no place to vent their boiling blood, spent a fierce time trying to occupy the six positions from then on.
Chris was by far the most dominant.
Chris had virtually secured a position, and he dealt with other subordinates and made up for their shortcomings.
‘The only definite people so far are me, Kevin, Volcan, and Pookie.’
2 spots left.
It was ambiguous.
I don’t know who will be selected, but Chris hopes that no one will be defeated for Roman’s honor.
“Please take good care of me.”
next opponent.
It was Volcan.
A person who was the first to challenge in recruiting soldiers and was defeated coolly.
One of those people who developed rapidly over time, he certainly pushed Chris hard from the start.
An explosive attack from a giant.
As if he would not give Chris a chance, he pushed on without a break, but it was Chris who developed faster than others.
iron wall.
The attack didn’t work.
After experiencing the war with Roman once, Chris entered a completely different stage.
Took.
tadak.
With a concise action of digging in front while slashing the sword.
It broke Volcan’s defenses.
Seeing how he quickly retrieved his sword, this time he stepped on the side step and tried to attack Volcan’s side.
But then.
Quaang.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Explosions were heard in the distance.
Moment.
Chris’ expression hardened.
The sound of the explosion was common because it had an iron mine, but the problem was that the source of the sound was the place where Roman was training at the closed hall.
“Everyone stop! Go to the master right now!”
command fell
Roman’s sword.
Chris headed to the place where Roman was without looking back.
Roman, who had never appeared before.
Chris and his subordinates had no idea what had happened to him.
