To get rid of this bad taste, Elena decided to be extra lavish in the upcoming auction. So she returned back to the Oshi village with the intention of enjoying the last few days of the grand bazaar as much as she could. She visited the shops again, bought a lot of things for herself, gifted a lot of things to the demon children and had a very good time. With that slowly but surely her mood started to improve.

Just like that few days passed and soon it was the time for the auction to start. The last few days had been busy for the bazaar but on the day of the auction, the crowd increased exponentially. Elena was enjoying the bustling atmosphere of the grand bazaar a lot.

One of the main reason why the auction was so hyped this time was because of the rumours of "Starry Night Pearl" and "Heavenly Nectar Fruit" appearing. Not only the people from other villages were here for them, several city folks had also came to visit the auction to get their hands on those legendary items.

Seeing this, Elena was sure that the competition for those items would be very fierce. Normally if someone had the intention to buy things from the auction, they would be disappointed by this as they would need to spend more money this way. But that was not the case for Elena. The more money she would need to spend, the happier she would be.

...

Before the start of the auction, all the villages put on some shows to show off their culture. It was quite an enjoyable experience. Then Lanchester went to the stage to announce which villages had done exceptionally well during this bazaar. The name of both Yumi village and Conna Village was mentioned by him. This was a very prestigious thing for those villages whose names were announced on the stage.

Then finally it was time for the auction to start. The auction was going to take place in an open plaza in the middle of the bazaar. This auction was the very last chance for the villages to show off before the final end of the grand bazaar. So many villages who had prepared amazing items were ready to show them off.

Surprisingly, the village to take to the stage first were the people of the Conna Village. Seeing them, Elena also became curious about what they were going to sell. Fren was also on the stage and with a wave of her hand, a carriage appeared on the middle of the stage. Seeing the carriage, Elena immediately noticed that this carriage had the same design in which she, Fren and others had travelled while coming to the Grand Bazaar. The one they had used was a little bit plain looking but the one that she had taken out for the auction was very well decorated and looked lavish.

As Elena had already experienced the carriage, she was aware how good it was. It was actually a very high quality alchemical product.

It was Fren who started to introduce the carriage to the audience first but her speech was way too technical which was hard for a regular person to understand who did not have any knowledge in the field of alchemy.

So mid way, a person standing next to her took over the duty to talk about the carriage and he did a awesome job. He hyped the carriage up and even said a few exaggerated things. But the effect of that was amazing and whatever he said were not complete lie, so Elena did not mind this.

She actually perticipate in the auction of this carriage and ended up buying it with a sky high price. The starting bid for this carriage was one hundred thousand R and the callers needed to raise the price by at least ten thousand.

Normally in an auction, at the start of the bid, many people would shout a lot of different prices but that did not happen here. That was because at the very beginning of the bidding, Elena called out "one million" with a straight, slightly smiling face. A sudden raise of ten times the bidding price was too much for the other bidders to handle.

But still one demon from the city called out "one million and ten thousand" before the end of three calling. But before the auction manager could even acknowledge the bid, Elena called out "two million" with the same indifferent face. This sudden double increase left everyone dumbfounded and no one else competed with her anymore.

Fren and the people of the Conna Village had expected the price of the carriage to reach at most five hundred thousand R and nothing more. So they were extremely surprised to get four times that price.

...

After this explosive start, the next few items that appeared did not attracted Elena's attention so the auction became normal again. But this normalcy did not last long and was broken when a beautiful dress appeared on the stage that Elena liked. She again bid "Two Hundred Thousand" for the dress that was priced at twenty thousand R. This time no one competed with her at all and Elena got the item with just a single bid.

Just like that, the auction continued. After the dress there were a few more items that attracted Elena's attention but as their initial price was too low, Elena was unable to pay too much for them even when she increased their price by ten times. After a few bidding, the people had also gotten used to Elena calling large bids so they were not as surprised as the first time.

Just as the excitement of the auction was going down, three beautiful fruits appeared on the stage. As soon as they appeared, everyone present in the plaza scented a very sweet and inviting smell. Immediately the eyes of everyone lit up including Elena. The rumours turned out to be true and Heavenly Nectar Fruit had really appeared in the auction. And it was not just one but three. That was truly astonishing.

Normally with more heavenly nectar fruit, the price of a single fruit should go down as they were less rare this way. But that was actually not the case here. Heavenly Nectar Fruit had a special nature and it became more tasty when there were more fruits of the same kind around. Knowledgeable people knew the reason for this was the competitive instict of the Heavenly Nectar Fruits. With more fruits around, each heavenly nectar fruit would try to become more delicious compared to the others. That was the reason why the heavenly nectar fruits which were parts of a group were more tasty and more expensive.

So with the excitement of the audience reaching the absolute peak, the auction for these legendary fruits started.
