Sunset Auction (3)

Leon entered behind the stage with his VIP pass. He found Willem easily as he stood out with his white suit. He went up and said "Give me a thousand feathers from a fallen fowl. What is the most powerful string that the auction house has? Also what types of special woods does the auction house have?"

Willem without even thinking instinctively responded "the best string would be the thread of the one eye golden silkworm, an Orange soul beast. It will cost ten thousand gold coins for a roll, as for wood we do have hundred year mahogany, black tree wood and red blood wood all for the same price." He then saw Leon, at first he didn't recognise him but then remembered his voice.

"Give me as many logs as you can for all of the wood you have, and I'll have thread as well."

"Everything will be 30,000 , with the ten percent discount it will only be 27,000."

Leon bought the items and tried to leave discretely. However Harlan saw him as he walked towards the door and walked up to Leon. "You should be the person that gave me the money."

Leon responded "Yes I really don't like the Bloodling clan. So I gave you some of the money I recently made."

"So what's your name boy. I can't tell your age but I know you are quite young. You should also be the one who made the low rank spirit weapon that was sold to the auction."

"My name is... Sirius" honestly Leon couldn't care less on how to deal with this clan head. He just said the name he could think of first. There was no way he would ever suspect this Sirius to be the weak bodied Leon Flamesmith. Even if he did Leon was planning on leaving the clan after awakening the soul book so It didn't matter.

The clan head nods, "boy you are talented if you ever are in need of a teacher come find me. With your skill I wouldn't mind taking you as a disciple." He then takes out a token and holds it out for Leon.

Leon accepts the token the clan head gives him and waits for him to leave. "Wow I got this so easily and I had this elaborate plan of sneaking into his office and stealing a clan head representative token."

This token had the authority of the clan head, it can help people who aren't members of the clan meet the clan head. The Clan head probably thought I wouldn't know what this token was for. So he gave it to me without telling me what it does. But he doesn't know that he is just about to get robbed.

Leon saw Mr Tor with his old master looking around outside. They saw him leave and walked towards him. Mr Tor spoke "Leon. This is my master, Dayton Ironswork. He is a high ranking member of the Blacksmith association."

Leon with his identity exposed removed the masks and pulled down the hood. He then respectfully greeted the middle aged man.

Dayton said "My student was right you are very talented. The Blacksmith association would love to have someone with your talent in out ranks how about it do you want to join?"

Leon was not really planning on becoming a Blacksmith so he rejected with an excuse "I don't think I can leave this town right now. I heard to join the Blacksmith association you would need to go to the Blacksmith city..."

"No it is fine I can authorise you joining the association you just need to drop some blood on this token." Dayton took out a metallic token and gave it to Leon.

Leon knew looking at Dayton's eyes that if he didn't join now they would use extremer methods. He dropped the blood on to the token. Dayton took it back. He put in some energy into the token and Leon's name became engraved onto it.

"Now this is your identity token. You have joined the Blacksmith association. I won't make you leave for it now but you should visit within a year. It can also be used as a communication device with me and Tor as well."

Giving the token to Leon he then turned and left with Mr Tor who said goodbye.

Leon left for the Clan. He didn't have time to waste so he ran through alleys and made it in. He naturally walked up to a big ancient tree in the clan. It was known to have been there since the start of the clan. Called as the tree of good fortune. He walked towards it and took out the token he got from the clan head. Leon said a chant and sunk into the tree like how a drop of water enters a pond, so seem less that no one around noticed.

Inside the tree he saw a stair case spiralling downwards. He followed down and then entered a straight path. Leon didn't know how long he had ran for but he couldn't hold on anymore. His body still hadn't had the right training and strength. He sat on the ground took out a body strengthening pill and swallowed it. He felt his body rejuvenate. He sat and cultivated for a minute after completely recovering he ran forward. At the end he saw a staircase spiralling upwards. Leon wasn't someone to complain but even he didn't think he would have to run a marathon under ten minutes. He continued his quest.

At the very top he saw a big open door being guarded by a big dinosaur like creature. It had short arms with big legs and a long tail. A big head and mouth with red scales all over its body. It looked like a red t-rex.

"That should be a Fire Storm T-Rex. The clan heads most trusted beast. He should be inside right now putting the jem deep in the treasury."

Leon used the formless aura as much as he could. The T-Rex was a peak orange soul beast. Making it way stronger than someone who hadn't even cultivated- it would just need to breathe to kill him.

Leon took out the black shadow daggers. He then covered one with the energy form the formless aura technique and threw it into the open door form a blind spot of the T-Rex. Because of his weak and exhausted body he wasn't able to make the throw into the treasury but just in front of it.

He took out the token the clan head gave him. Then activated the shadow blink rune and appeared out of the expanded shadow of the dagger in front of the door. He used formless aura and rolled into the treasury holding the token.

"Anyone with this token can enter any of the treasuries and take two things while being accompanied by the clan head. I only have time until the clan head Is here."
