20 The 16th Grail
The 21st and 22nd Grails were quite boring being just some random 5-Star Equipment. One of them was a bloody pan.
A red frying pan.
The 20th to 16th Grail announcement, however, I didn't expect.
-{[Now then everyone! We have gotten past the items section and are into the bloodline section! The 20th Grail to the 16th will be bloodlines! I present the 20th to the 16th Grails! I recommend you bid with blood today as it will be very difficult to get anything without doing so!]}-
Five tables were uncovered at the same time.
-{[Now then, I assume you know the rules but in case you don't here they are: Number one! You must say a number before your bid! Number two! You may not bid for more until you've won your bid! Number three is in tandem with two as you may only bid for one at a time!]}-
The five tables had a five flasks on each of them. The first table was the 20th Grail, it had a clear flask with a golden-brown blood-like solution inside.
-{[The 20th Grail! A Golden-Scaled Ursa Bloodline of 25% Purity! Number - 1]}-
The second table had a red flask which contained a red blood that seemed to be bubbling and boiling.
-{[The 19th Grail! An Inferno Iris' Bloodline bearing a massive 78% Purity! Number - 2]}-
The third table had a gold opaque glass that had a dark aura about it.
-{[The 18th Grail! A Shadow Cougar Bloodline with 19% Purity! Number - 3]}-
The fourth had another clear flask but this time containing a black, viscous liquid that looked like tar.
-{[The 17th Grail! A Slick Scaled Snake Bloodline boasting a Purity of 40%! Number - 4]}-
The fifth was a bottle containing a clear liquid that resonated with me. I already knew which one this was.
-{[The 16th Grail! A staggering 0.001% of a Flow Fox Bloodline! Number - 5]}-
-=5 Jade Blood Drops, Number 5=-
My voice echoed across the hall as the bidding instantly began for the others.
-=10 GB, Number 3=-
-=15 DB, Number 2=-
-=14 GB, Number 3=-
-=20 DB, Number 1=-
-=40 DB, Number 4=-
And so on and so forth. The bidding for number 5 ended with me claiming it for 5 Jade Blood Drops, the bidding for the others ended as follows.
1,435 Diamond Blood for Number 1.
Number 2 ended for 272 Diamond Blood. It wasn't worth that much I guess.
Number 3 Ended For 1 Diamond Blood and 19,420 Gold Blood. Or rather, 69,420 Gold Blood.
Number 4 unsurprisingly was bought by the Eunuch Snake in the end for 1,522 Diamond Blood.
-{[Thank you all for bidding so enthusiastically. Now then, we shall present the 15th Grail! The first of the stone section!]}-
I completely tuned this part out and focused on the bottle they delivered to my booth.
In the end, I shrugged, took off my mask and chugged the damn thing.
Letting out a satisfied sigh, I waited for the bloodline to be incorporated. It took somewhere between a few hours to incorporate itself as the bidding was on the 13th Grail by the time I started paying attention.

»M = Million, B = Billion, T = Trillion and so on«
'Well, I better put on the mask again.'
I slipped on the mask and smiled at my gains.
'Hmm, I never asked what Joint, Set and Growth Talents did I?'
»No, no you did not«
'Well?'
»Well, what?«
'What are they!'
»Growth Talents do not have a limit and grow alongside the talent holder.
Joint Talents are essentially Compound talents made from Resonating Talents.
Set Talents are multiple talents that multiply the effects of the talent once it has gathered multiple of the set«
'So pretty much what I thought it was.'
I looked back at the pedestal and saw the bidding of the 11th Grail had started.
I suddenly heard someone calling my name, the voice was familiar but I couldn't place it. I turned my head over my shoulder to see who was calling me and saw it was a GCP.
"This one is Alakandras. Miss Fox, what would the price of a Dragon be?"
"Depends on the Type of Dragon."
"Fairy Dragon."
"500 Bronze Blood Drops."
Many of them instantly drew air through their teeth. I imagine they wouldn't be able to pay that as they, no offence, looked, smelled and had an aura of a poor person.
I hummed as I thought before speaking further.
"I'll ask the 'Serpent' about any Fairy Dragon Eggs or Fairy Dragons he has and buy them off him."
The others perked up before becoming skeptical.
"What's the catch?"
Demetri was the one to ask.
I responded with a serious expression.
"I hate owing people. Especially people I barely know, no offence."
"None taken. It's a reasonable argument. But... what do you owe us for?"
I instantly pulled in Hydra and hugged her tightly while stroking her hair.
"My new doll of course."
They froze.
Then the shouting began.
