*********************************************************

Arther went to the auction building. The building had a huge wooden door with various carvings. There were two women with manly builds standing guard at the door.

Those women were well trained, this can be known by seeing their alertness and stillness. They didn't move even a bit after standing for a long time. As Arther moved inside the building, he was surprised by the grandness of the building's interior and its decorations. There was a red carpet laid from the door on the floor. The wall contained luxury lamps and in the center of the ceiling, there was a chandelier made of glass hanging.

There was a young servicewoman standing on one side, seeing Arther enter she came to greet him, "Hello sir, how may I help you."

Arther was very interested in the products being sold here as they were luxuries he had not seen in his life, but he didn't have time to waste here. So he gave the invitation letter to the servant, the servant looked at the letter and after checking its authenticity she returned it to Arther, she smiled at Arther and led him towards the -1 floor.

Arther observed the products on the floor as he was led, On the auction floor there were many seats arranged with a stage used for auction. Arther sat on a seat in the backside corner. He didn't want to attract any attention.

Slowly as time went by the seats started to fill.

On the first row of the seats were few people who looked different than others, they were surely riches and people with higher authority.

After a few moments, a beautiful lady in red revealing clothes with brown hair walked on the stage. There was an uproar among those sitting in the backward seats, they were those who were lucky enough to gain this chance to visit here without much money. They just wanted to experience these things or wanted to try their luck here.

"Welcome everyone present here in rose company's auction. As everyone knows the things auctioned here are the rarest commodities and today also we have many such things. So I hope everyone follows the rules of the auction. I would also like to make all of you aware that only after payment will we hand over the things. And the identity of the bidder will be kept a secret."

"Let's begin.", there was a female voice full of authority from behind the stage. This voice made Arther interested.

A middle-aged man came on the stage holding a red wooden box, he placed the box on the table on the stage. The lady then removed the item from the box, it was a vase.

"Our first item for auction is this vase from ancient times, it is said to have been used by an old alchemist in ancient times as we have found traces of few unknown alchemist materials on it. It can also be one of the members of some medicine garden. The vase has been in such environment for a long time hence it has many useful specimen samples if able to recognize."

"The starting price is 5000WC and it can be increased in any amount.",

As soon as the lady finished speaking,

"5500WC",

"6000WC",

"9000WC",

"10,000WC", there was an uproar as everyone with little to no knowledge of these things were surprised for a vase to have such an amount of price.

The one to bid was an old man sitting in a corner in the middle rows of a seat, he had an introverted look on his face as if trying to minimize his presence.

Later products in the auction were of no interest to Arther what he was interested in were few of those people who had the strength to bid thousands of WC's for things with little to no meaning to common people.

But Arther knew that few of these things were good things like the vase, and a heavy sword which no one in today's time can use due to its weight, it was sharp and shiny with a faint aura even after being unused for such a long period of time. The auctioneer stated that this was a sword used by a strong person in the Astral kingdom when it was founded, after that person left the kingdom due to unknown reason this sword was placed in the palace but with time it became of no use to the king so he gifted it to a well-known business for huge benefits, this swords now has been obtained by the rose company.

For today's time it can only be used as decoration, but what Arther didn't know was that this sword was bought by a scientist, this sword was made using a special type of metal alloy. The scientist will soon make a great breakthrough in this subject using this sword and will be a part of the team which created the most well-known light beam cannons mounted on the walls of most of the base cities. These cannons were one of the factors for the survival of humans against that higher-level undead and beasts.
