Shiro: The Secret Hero
68. Auction items

Auction's starting.

The lights in the auction hall were turned off. A floodlight suddenly came to life and shone on someone who entered the main stage of the auction.

A woman walked gracefully into the auction stage. Golden yellow hair, sexy party dress with sparkling gold color, adds to the appeal of the auction attendees.

The woman tapped on the microphone and started talking. "Welcome to the Black Market auction. I am Christine, and I will be your Host and auction guide for today."

"Just let's start the auction. Here's our first auction."

Together with Christine's voice, the floodlights reappeared and illuminated a man pushing a large basket covered in red cloth.

The auction audience became curious about the first auction item that was behind the red curtain.

"The first auction item was, Heavy Long Sword."

Along with the mention of the item's name, the curtain opens. A 1.5-meter-high sword stood upright.

After the sword is displayed, the main screen also displays an image of the sword. The beauty of the sword stunned the audience. They craved the sword.

"The sword is a sword made by Master Forging Rodryque. It overrides it with Titan Ore material so it has a high level of hardness and durability. This sword is also quite heavy. The starting price was 10,000 Gold, each increase of at least 100 Gold. Please bid !"

"10,500 Gold."

"10,800 Gold."

"11,000 gold."

"13,000 Gold."

"...."

After the Auction Guide, Christine uttered the initial price of the auction. Any Audience interested in Heavy Long Sword began to press the buttons that were on their seats to bid and raise the price.

The audience that was interested was mainly Heroes who used heavy swords as their weapons. In addition to heroes, many families and organizations are interested. Not with Shiro.

Shiro was not interested in the sword, he already had Katana as his Soul Weapon. He immediately pressed the surrender button for the auction item this time.

The one who gave up would bring out a dark red light in his chair. While those who are still bidding will make their chairs emit a white light.

The auction continued to run, the price of the Heavy Long Sword was increasing. One by one the white light turned dark red. Until finally no one bids.

"Congratulations to Audience number 23 for getting the Heavy Long Sword for 15,800 Gold."

` clap~ clap~ clap~`

Applause rang out in the Auction Hall, Audience number 23 also stood up and raised her hands while clapping.

"Congratulations to Lord number 23. Next we proceed to the second item."

The floodlight again highlighted a masked woman carrying a look covered in red cloth.

"The next thing is Mermaid Tears. A disposable item that can make the user breathe and move in the water for 1 day. The starting price was 1,000 Gold, each increase was no less than 100 Gold. Please bid !"

A transparent crystal the size of a marble was displayed on the screen.

"1,000 gold."

"1,500 gold."

"2,000 Gold."

" ... "

Shiro was interested in this consumable item, he co-offered a price for this item.

Shiro eventually won this item for 3,800 Gold.

Shiro originally wanted to give up if the price exceeded 4,000 Gold. But he was lucky that no one else was bidding.

But Shiro knew the reason, as this item was a disposable consumption item. So many parties are not too interested.

Many medicinal items and potions that had almost similar effects were priced at only 3 digits.

Although many items are similar to Mermaid Tears, most of them are items that have one function and can only last a few minutes or a few hours.

Unlike Shiro, because he wants to adventure to various gates. It did not demand the possibility that the Gate he entered was full of Water.

And this item was very beneficial for him to explore the Gate with such an Air environment.

The auction continued, he did not expect the third item to be the pair of Fang's of Two-headed Hydra he wanted to sell before.

Shiro became excited, but since he was the owner of the item, he was unable to participate in this auction. He could only watch happily each price increase.

The initial price was only 5,000 Gold. Slowly increasing, 6,000 Gold, 7,000 Gold, 10,000 Gold, and continuing to increase until now reached 12,000 Gold.

What makes the price of these two raw goods quite expensive. Shiro could guess.

Probably because of Hydra. The Hydra itself was a monster that was in a Gate a year ago.

Due to the harsh environment, many heroes were killed in the Gate. And only a few Hydra corpses can be brought back.

The total bodies of Hydra were carried by no more than 6 bodies. It was all taken by the parties who participated in the attack.

Once processed, Hydra fangs are quite famous for their poison and have an affinity with certain Elements.

As you know, Hydra can grow up to 7 heads and each head has its own Element.

Even from the ruins left at the Gate mentioned that there was even a Hydra 9 Head called Orochi.

Because of that news, many parties regretted it, there were even those who regretted not participating in the attack.

And now that the item has reappeared, every party would want to get it. Moreover, the affinity contained in Fang's of Two-headed Hydra that Shiro sold berelement Air. So that it can be easily used in the attack and spread of poison.

The price of Fang's of Two-headed Hydra continued to soar, there were still many parties who had yet to give up on this item.

Even the auctioneers were shocked by this incident. If they knew this item would be that popular, they would probably try to charge Shiro more. But everything had happened, they could only regret everything.

The auction continued, until someone managed to win the item Shiro sold.

"Congratulations to Audience number 112 for successfully obtaining Fang's item of Two-headed Hydra for 18,900 Gold."

` clap~ clap~ clap~`

A standing ovation was heard, the number 112 participant also stood up to welcome the applause.

Shiro, however, was surprised. Because the party that won the auction of her item was the gray-haired woman in a weeping clown mask sitting beside her.

Shiro did not expect that the Lady would be able to spend as much as 19,000 Gold on a single auction item.

' It looks like the woman is a rich woman.' Shiro thought.

Ignoring the identity of the woman, Shiro returned happy because he earned quite a lot of money. The balance on the screen also increases following the price of the item sold minus the auction fee waiver.

Shiro ignored the reduction of approximately 1,000 Gold. He continued to look forward to the next auction item.

" The next auction item is..."
