Show case -Artifacts

Inside the hall, the lavish decoration was all around. Guests were already there, some talking with each other while some quietly waiting for the start of the exhibition. Tonight's theme was an exhibition of Strange yet powerful artifacts.

Sauren and Zeph alongside Boss entered an inside room meant for hosts. There were several men and women were standing there.

"Elven, Haha you are here, at last, I thought you were going to ditch us all at the last moment " A bald man came toward Boss and greeted him laughingly.

"Hmm, who are these kids I have never seen them before with you "

Elven turned toward Zeph and Sauren and introduced the bald man to them,

"He is Morin Vera head of Vera Family, also the chief magistrate of Gephyr City"

Zeph and Sauren hurriedly greeted him, to think the city chief directly came to welcome the boss, looks like the boss is a quite big shot for himself.

Elven casually said to Morin, "They are just juniors of corps wanting to widen their horizon"

"Now let me tell you about others

The lady in a green dress is a female high-ranking warrior in the city council named Sakoh.

The man with a beard is Devas guild leader, a man with distinct blue eyes is kochi -head of Tuver business..."

One by one Boss quickly whispered about introduction on all big shots of the city who are playing host this time. Sauren and Zeph were surprised by their introductions.

Soon it was time for the start of the exhibition, which was announced Directly by Morin to all guests in the hall. Soon the first gallery was opened for guests to view the exhibition.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first gallery contains powerful, old, and collectible artifacts. Remember all these artifacts have their own unique quality of them which qualifies them to be in this exhibition. Some are so powerful that you can't subdue them therefore they are sealed by several warriors together, some are so old that even now there are no exact details about them, some so strange and bizarre, some unique, some trophies from demons and beasts, and some simply unidentified.

You can view them to your heart's content, place bid on those which are on sale, can touch which are allowed to but remember don't take them without

paying...Hahahha"

Morin closed his speech with a joke as to who dares to steal in the martial hall in presence of so many high-level warriors. Moreover, these people here are so rich that they can buy the whole city with their money.

The gallery was so large that a crowd of about 200 guests was so thinly scattered viewing different artifacts placed on stone pillars. There were still most of the pillars without any viewers because of a large number of artifacts.

Sauren and Zeph slipped seeing the first opportunity from the crowd of hosts then began to casually move between artifacts.

"Here see this black jade hmmm... it is written here that this jade is capable of holding a large amount of any energy in it. It can even deliver energy to Ajana stage warrior."

Sauren sucked cold air reading about the description. He was dumbstruck by bold claims written in the description. It is known that Ajana level warrior has so much energy reserve that he can easily fill a large mountain with it but this small jade can store such energy.

Zeph was also surprised by the jade. They moved to the next pillar to see a sword hovering in a glass cabinet. On the surface of the glass, several diagrams and chants were written in an ancient language.

Below is the description, it was written in bold red color 'Do Not Touch'

Sauren read about the warning and was stunned knowing about the sword. Apparently, this sword was refined with the blood of several pure human infants

to give it baleful cursed energy against humans. This was a demon sword also identified by its unique structure of jagged teeths on the outer edge of the sword.

Next, they saw Dragon tail bone whip, cursed Horns of quilin, Poison arrow of the sting of Ajana level Scorpio beast .etc Soon they were so much over by the number of treasures here that both of them understood the true value of invitation ticket of this exhibition and this was only day one.

As they were wandering off they saw the crowd of few people standing in front of a patch of ground with a spear thrust in the ground. Sauren and Zeph went towards the crowd to see young warriors trying to pull out the spear from the ground.

On reading the description they were amazed by the weapon.

Dragonplume Spear, it was famous spear used by warrior of past in slaying of various powerful dragons in beast war with humans. It was a spritual weapon that is it has awakened its spirit.

Spiritual weapons are super rare in the world. Weapons that have awakened their spirit have a deep bond with their masters therefore after their death, they chose their next master only after stringent conditions while if you're powerful enough you can subdue one but usually people try to get acceptance of such spirit.

This Spear was placed as a trial for young warriors by hosts so if they can be accepted by spirit, they are free to take this weapon with them. One by one several tried but the result remained the same no one was able to pull out the spear from the ground.

Sauren signaled Zeph to try it himself but Zeph refused."I'm a sword user and to me even if the spear is powerful it is just a weapon that I can't use"

Sauren rolled his eyes over his statement. Man, he can sell it to someone thought Sauren as he went to try his hand at pulling off the spear.

Sauren took position around the spear handle and was surprised to find its body ice-cool to touch. Its head blade was feather-shaped like a plume and the whole spear was grey in color.

He calmed his mind and tried to establish contact with spirit through mental energy.

Soon he found himself standing in front of an enormous sleeping dragon.

His whole body was frozen by the aura of Dragon alone. Dragon was so enormous in size that he was like an ant standing in front of the hill. Slowly large eyelid of Dragon opened and it breathed out cold air,

"Oh! so someone from young ones knew how to contact with the spirit," said Dragon in a rough voice.

Sauren had learned about this method from his father but never did any practice with it. It was his first time seeing the spirit of a weapon, He was scared senseless by the gaze of the dragon. He broke free from reverie by his words.

But before he could say anything, Dragon interjected

"I'm not interested kid, just get lost"

The dragon blew icy air towards Sauren which obliterated his figure.

Sauren jerked his hand away from the handle of the spear with shock and felt a steep stinging pain in his head result of forcefully terminating mental contact.

He came back to Zeph's side and upon inquiry said,

"Spirit was not interested in taking any master"

Zeph nodded, he knew about the method also as he was told by Sauren during their viewing different artifacts.

A sweet surprised voice came from behind,

"Oh I never thought I would meet you here "
