75 - Platinum Equipment

Violet raised her eyebrow slightly at the information of the Rapier, after all it truly is a great weapon for dueling.

But unfortunately it wasn't suitable for her after all she's a mage, and she has absolutely no plan's to change her class in potential to become a magic swordsman class.

Combined with the fact she disdains the thought of getting close and dirty or messing up her cute outfits, yeah there's no way.

But just because she wouldn't buy it doesn't mean that everyone else was of the same mind.

As everyone else who could afford to bid did, as even if they couldn't use it that doesn't mean others in their families couldn't.

"Why would you want such a cowardly weapon." Michael said with slight disgust.

Michael was raised by his father and grandfather to have honour within himself, to be a true symbol of their Knight family and to uphold the family's legacy, after all the Knight name isn't one that can be dishonoured least of all by one who carries it.

So although Michael isn't above doing what is needed when fighting against monsters to a certain degree, there are still things that he would never even think of doing himself.

But this is different as this weapon is clearly designed and made for dueling in mind, making it a cowards weapon in the eye's of those with honour and respect.

And if you think that only Michael will have a huge problem with someone using it, than you're wrong, really wrong.

This is a world of war and death, where everyone's fighting not just for their own survival but their friends, family and their race.

This requires you to place your trust in others, weather that be your fellow man or even another race, especially when it comes to classes like tanks and supporters.

After all your placing your life into their hands, so when you have to, would you rather place it into the hands of a man who's known to be without any or a person with strict standards for themselves as well as taking their honour incredibly serious.

Yeah I'm picking the second without any second thought.

So having honour is a really, really big deal, as it can effect everything about your life.

So using such a weapon is more over a stain than a advantage depending on not only the person but the place.

For example if you where to be found using such a weapon when dueling in Honour Academy, then you can expect a expulsion coming your way.

The Dwarves would treat you even worse, not to mention the Elves.

So it isn't strange in anyway for Michael to disdain such a weapon or those who would use it.

It's actually quite common for mages to be seen without any honour by quite a few, after all there are literally spells upon spells that can be seen as under handed or dishonourable.

This is one of the reasons that magic and physical classes don't get along well all the time.

Hearing Michael, Violet couldn't help but roll her eye's, after all her class is seen as one of the most cowardly classes as she uses illusions.

After all even though she was also brought up with honour and self respect, but it was different from the Knight's family, after all a mage's honour and a warrior's honour are two completely different things.

Even if they both share a lot in common, the both operate differently.

"It's unfortunate that it's not worth buying, as it would have been great to research the enchantment on it. But I don't have the ability to now." Victor said staring at the magical symbols imprinted along the blade.

Victor couldn't understand any of them but even more strange was that he couldn't even recall what the symbols looked like.

Which felt foreign, as he has a near perfect memory. But this did confirm one thing, that is he'll need a teacher to get him started on this path.

Li Yan upon seeing the swords information lost all his interest in an instant, turning away he focused his attention onto his grandson.

And what he saw disappointed him further, as Li Xuan was sitting forwards with fascination all over his face.

"Don't even think about it." Li Xuan heard athese words like they were an earthquake to his ears.

"Umm, what do you mean Gramps?" Li Xuan hurriedly tried to hide his thoughts as he turned away from the swords information.

"You are Li Xuan, you carry the Li clan's name and therefore represent the clan to everyone. Your actions, words and achievements affect more than just yourself but the whole clan.

And I and our ancestors haven't worked so hard with our blood and sweat for you to ruin it just because you want a 'little' advantage in a duel.

Using such a weapon is a spit on everything our family stands for, a very insult to our honour.

So if you have any thoughts on such a cowardly weapon, then that means you are unfit for the responsibility of the Li name...." Li Yan's voice although low was like heavy thunder to everyone in the room.

At the same time sweat dropped down Li Xuan's face as he felt an extreme pressure upon him.

"I was just interested, I would never use such a weapon." Li Xuan hurried to defend himself as he realised that he had touched the old man's uncrossable bottom line.

"Hfph, it's good that you have no thoughts on such a weapon." The pressure immediately disappeared as the room regrained it's earlier calm, while Li Yan no longer looked at his grandson again.

Li Xuan on the over hand had been given a reality check that his position wasn't as stable as he thought, instead he could lose it if he screwed up.

So all he could do was remain silent and watch as the cowards weapon was sold.

Seeing that the crowd took the rapier very well, Rose immediately had the next thing brought out.

This time it was something both Victor and Michael were very familiar with, yes it was the gold Knight Earth set.

And completely unexpected by them both it truly was a popular set, as it immediately garnered the attention of the audience.

After a full matching set of equipment in quite rare not to mention such a great set of armour.

That combined with the fact that it's not uncommon for tanks to be of the Earth magic attribute, well of course this set will be very popular.

Michael watched on as the price grew from 3 platinum coins to 30 in just a few seconds, excitement welled up within him with every bid, he couldn't even begin to imagine the amount of food he could buy with this amount.

Victor on the over hand was contemplating on how to potentially use this money, not to mention the ways he could save this money.

Violet on the other hand, her smile grew larger and larger as thoughts ran through her mind on how to scam, cough help, yes help out them both, well for a price.

If Victor knew her thoughts he wouldn't be surprised as she has expressed such thoughts before but she's never actually gone through with it.

But you can always predict that if she does get given any money weather that be though a life, allowance or has earned it. Then she's like a raccoon who's found food, she never shares it . Actually a better comparison would be a greedy dragon, after all they'd rather die before giving a single copper coin away from their treasure hoard.

Seeing that the price had grown to a whopping 83 platinum coins, Michael couldn't help but voice his excitement.

"With this much we can not only get new skills but also get accessory equipment that matches our classes!" Hearing Michael, Victor's eye's light up in thought.

Michael was completely right, as getting a set of accessories matching them will improve their strength straight away, especially for himself after all with equipment that can improve his mama recovery or mana pool, the amount of spells he can use will improve dramatically.

It wasn't long before finally the armour set was finally sold for a total of 114 platinum coins.

Hearing the final number Michael couldn't help but jump around in happiness, although he didn't know much much that actually was worth. After all before today he didn't even know that Platinum Coins were worth.

But it didn't take a genies to know that it was worth a lot, at least for what his seen today it's worth the same if not more than a million gold coins.

"Settle down already, this amount is nothing. You'd both probably have gotten more for it if you sold it in another auction house or at another time." Violet suddenly said trying to calm him down from his rich high.

"Cut me some slack will ya, after all I've never had so much money before, how can I not be excited?" Michael defended himself but he still obediently sat back down.

Rose feeling happy back her large cut so far called for the last and highest limelight of the auction.

"And now I must unfortunately say but the auction is coming too a close but before we all part ways we have one last item. And as they say save the best for last.

So with that let us present the crown jewel of today's auction!" With that the item was quickly brought out once again on a pillow.

A long spear that looked like it was carved straight from stone into a spear, it was truly a work of art, with simplicity to the extreme in mind when being made.
