First Elena, Eldriana and Dalia met up with Monika outside her restaurant to go to the auction together. All four of the girls had dressed up as it was a special occasion for them. Elena was wearing a scarlett dress with the design of roses on the shoulder and leg part. Her hair was styled in a bun with several expensive looking hair pins attached to them. She was also decorating her long ears with three beautiful flowers and heart shaped earrings. She was looking absolutely stunning in that dress.
As for Eldriana, she was wearing a black military style outfit just like her regular getup but the jackets and shirts were more decorated than usual. Her hair was also styled in a ponytail just like usual and she was giving off a very valiant aura. Dalia on the other hand went with a bold style and exposed her back. She was wearing a green dress and it went well with her eye and hair colour. As for Monika, she also wanted to dress up like the other girls but according to her mother, she was still very young and so she just made her to dress in a normal shirt and skirt which were a bit more fancy than usual.
...
After reaching the auction house, the girls were escorted to a VIP room after showing the membership card of Hermes there. As he was a valuable member of the auction house and had deals with them quite often, the auction house did not show any disrespect to the people who came here as his proxy and gave them the required hospitality.
The VIP room was very similar to what Elena had expected. It has a large sofa and table in the middle and a servant was writing here to listen to any order that they had. They would also be served free food and drinks and if that wanted extra they just needed to tell the servant and she would bring it and the payment would be automatically paid from the membership card of Hermes.
The front wall of the room was made of glass and from there the stage where the auction would take place was visible. But from the outside no one would be able to see the inside of the room. It was not just that the glass was special but actually this whole room was under the influence of ruins to make it secure of the people staying inside. No one would know about the true identity of the person staying inside this room.
As for the process of bidding for an item, there was a smart phone-like gadget on the table. On that gadget they would just out the amount of money they wanted to bid and that would be shown on the screen outside. If anyone wanted they could also just normally bid by shouting the amount on the microphone kept inside this room too, but not many people used this process as it looked very barbaric.
There was also a large television-like screen on the wall where they could see the stage up close. On the table they could also check the items that would be auctioned off here today and the details about them. The whole system was way more modern than Elena expected.
Elena knew that the technological advancements of this world were greater than RASHTROYNI's but she did not expect it to be this advanced. Normally this world completely looked like a fantasy world but now Elena was able to see several sci-fi elements too.
The reason why these gadgets were not more commonplace was because of their high price. Only a big organisation like the auction house was able to buy and use it so easily. Another example of the advanced technology of this world was the flying air ship that they were going to take very soon. It was not like RASHTROYNI did not have the magical technology to create a flying ship, but the technology of this world was more complex and intricate, so the gadgets from here have a better cost effectiveness.
Even though it was not a new experience for Elena herself, Eldriana and Dalia had never seen something like that. And even though Monika knew about these technologies, she had never seen them before. So all three of them were looking at everything with excited expressions on their faces and only Elena was able to keep her cool.
The girls were talking among each other while eating the things served there and the servant girl waiting in the room was also swept up in their excitement. So currently all four of them were talking with each other with excitement and only Elena was acting like a calm person. It almost looked like Elena was a mother and she had come here with four naughty kids who were not listening to her at all.
Just as all the girls were having excited conversation about when Dalia was able to defeat an ugly monster for alchemic ingredients, the stage where the auction was going to be taken place lit up and two people appeared on them.
One was a handsome golden haired man dressed in a suit and looking like he was here to attend a party. He also had a monocle covering his eye and he looked very stylish with it. The other person was a lady with beautiful silver hair dressed in a green and yellow coloured dress. She was also looking very stylish while holding a paper fan on her hand.
These two were the hosts for today's auction. Not only did they look very good on the stage, they were also extremely powerful individuals with levels well above 400. It was evident that the current auction was a big auction and that's why the auction house was employing such powerhouses to host the auction. As Elena was thinking all that, the male host spoke up first in a loudspeaker-like item.
"Welcome everyone to our Bluedawn Auction House. I'm Alex, your host for the day. Today we are very proud to announce that for the current auction we have managed to gather extremely good line up of items. It is going to be our most expensive auction in the last hundred or so years. So please feel free to bid in whatever catch your fancy and spend a lot of money on them."
"Shut up, Alex. I'm sorry everyone for my colleague's inadequate behaviour. My name is Sarasa and I will be joining this idiot to host this auction. Please look forward to the auction as we have truly gathered an excited line up of items for all of you to choose. I wish everyone a fulfilling day."
With the greeting from the hosts over, the main auction started. It looked like both Alex and Sarasa were famous people of this city and had quite a lot of fan following. So they got a good reception from the participants of the auction and especially from the non VIP ones. And the servant girl in this room also turned out to be a big fan of them.
Soon the first item came out. To start this big auction, the Bluedawn Auction House wanted to bring out something special and they did just that.
"So, we are going to start the auction with a very valuable thing and that is a completely intact body of level 550 Usoen. As you all know, Useon are one of the monsters with an extremely valuable body and the more intact it is the more useful it will be. But due to this monster's incredible strength, it was almost useless to kill it without damaging its body.
But a very powerful individual had managed to kill this Useon with an instant death magic spell, so the body is completely unharmed and we have also confirmed that it also had a corrupted gem inside it. So everyone, don't miss this chance to get your hands on this monster. The bidding will start from 500 red gems and each increment could not be less than 10 red gems. Now let's get started."
