Chapter 37: The bounty

After people outside saw that a black robed guy entered into the bidding house to sell off a magic beasts there was a small commotion in there.

Many small, medium and big powerhouses of this city stations their people's inside or outside of the bidding house. If they realize that a ranked beasts is about to be auctioned, they quickly informed their superiors to quickly come to the bidding place.

So now there are 10 times more people waiting for a ticket then the last time Aetius entered . It also attracted many outsiders who came to this city to resupply and rest before setting off.

"Hmm they will auction a rank 1 magic beasts? I think I will go and take a look now."

"I am just walking around this small city for something interesting and it looks as if i found one! If lucky, i can found a fire or similar type beasts! "

"Quickly give me a ticket."

" I don't expect to find anything useful in this poor city, but Let's take a look, anyway i have time before set off."

"So this poor city also auction magic beasts? Although i don't think i will found a rare rank 2 speed type beasts, but i can at least have some fun. "

"Hmm, magic beasts auction? husband quick i wanna see a magic beasts. I never saw one with my own eyes. "

" is this small roadside city has any capability to kill a magic beasts! "

"Father i wanna go and see please please please."

Many outsiders in who's eyes this is small city is just a roadside supply point. They don't think that this city has any powerful ranked magi.

Seeing that many people still waiting in line or shouting and scolding the receptionist for his slow work, officials send another personal to help that poor fellow.

It is a very common scene in this bidding house. Magic beasts or ranked beasts rarely appear here. On average 1 at a week or more.

.....

Aetius is now waiting in a VIP room. There are many kind of fruit and light desserts in front of him in a glass table. I didn't know the names of most of them.

'If i didn't have the concern of opening my robe, i would be eating these exotic looking fruits by now.

Today I planed to buy some items like clothes, alchemy fluids,ink, paper etc. But i think i will also buy some fruits. It will help me in this growth period.'

While Aetius is making plans of buying some fruit in his mind in the VIP waiting room, there was a knock in the door.

"Come in! " Aetius used a gang member type voice he can think of. He will pretend to be a gangster in this auction house.

A fat men in his 30's or 40's came in with a bright smile. He is very small. A little over 5. 0 ft.

He sat in the opposite side of where aetius is now sitting.

"Sir, i am a manager of this Bidding house, 'Meno asfhi ghoysgi mahi olafao nirvanar'.

Sir we will auction off you magic beasts. Before, i want to remind you some rule of this bidding house.

1. We will cut 10% from the buyers bid.

2.You can personally do the presentation or let us do.

3.If you want, you can reveal your identity to the bidders or to the final buyer.

4.If you like to be incognito Throughout the process, you do not need to tell us about yourself.

Sir, I hope you will like our terms. If you like it, please give us that magic beasts and some details about It's abilities." Manager Meno said while keeping the smile on his face.

Nirvanar family is an aristocrat family which has a lot of auction houses throughout this kingdom. There are 3 big families in this kingdom who are renowned in this bidding business. This Nirvanar family is considered among these top 3 in this business. This guy infront of me is from the Nirvanar family .

There are many type of auction houses such as , this beasts auction house , artefact auction house, slave auction house , painting auction house etc .

As for black market or illegal buying and selling places , I don't know for now .

I nodded and gave him the space bag where i stored the magic beasts after bringing out of the system storage space .

" There are 2 magic beasts , both are rank 1 . First one is a Banshee . It has sound attack ability and also can use her big white hair as a whil to attack .

Last one is a kobold women .It is a speed type magic beasts . It can transform it's body completely like a big dog ." Aetius pretended to be proud and his voice was full of arrogance.

" Two magic beasts !" Manager Meno startled and exclaimed .

In this auction house , ordinary hunter and mercenaries bring their hunt to sell . They spend a lot of time and money to plan and kill a magic beasts. Catching a magic beast is very dangerous and people may die at their hands . Sometime because of wrong information they might encounter different kind of magic beasts against which they can only run . Magic beasts Hunters need to prepare props and plan for each type of magic beasts ability and encounter it .

It is hard to catch a single magic beasts ,now someone came out of nowhere with 2 !

Meno didn't think that he came from somewhere else and selling it here because that way his hunt will start to rot .

Space storages are not independent of time . They will damage the goods over the time . You need to use alchemy inscription or props to slow down it deterioration .

As for magi , they sell their goods at magi gathering places to exchange it with something they want but didn't have .

So Manager meno was a little shocked .No one normally sells this much at one go .

"Huh , is there something? Or should i go somewhere else ?" I acted as if i didn't like his shocked behavior and said harshly .

I am also feeling cautious as why he looked shocked.

'What's wrong? Did i do something i shouldn't have done?

no no no , i am not feeling any dangerous premonition ,so it may not be something bad .'

He quickly smiled and shook his hands to me and said ,

" No no no , I become shocked not because something bad ,It just that it is very rare for someone to sell 2 magic beasts in one go ." He explained me with his usual smiley face.

I have finally calmed down . So that was the crux of the reason of his shocked face . He is used to meet sellers who only sold 1 magic beasts at a time .I finally breath in relief.

He then got up and go away with the storage bag .Before leaving he said me to wait here .

'This will be a waste if i don't take these rare fruits Infront of me .'

I opened my 2nd storage bag and pour in all the fruits from table . I will not use the system space to store or open my robes to eat here .They may have spying prop or inscription around here .So i will not take risk to reveal my identity.

Within 5 minutes, manager Meno came running and he is huffing loudly as if he just ran a marathon.

Is a danger coming ,but didn't received any premonition ! Don't tell me a danger above rank 3 is coming so i don't receive any signal for the ' Danger Acuity'!

Thinking so i started to sweat and started to make a plan to run .

" Huh ....sir .... congratulations ,you have killed 2 out of 10 wanted women magic beasts group which is very infamous around colos city .This group of women's would abduct a lot teen boy's and loot or rob traveling people's . They also once tried to loot a small caravan but was unsuccessful. They have 12,000 gold coins bounty from the colos city government and 18,000 gold coins bounty issued by the colos merchant union for each of the 10 group members !"He said while huffing for air .

" Ha ha ha great !" I laughed domineeringly in a gangster voice . Actually, I am really happy now .It is as if pie falling from the sky out of nowhere! I didn't expected thai , I will earn bounty money for their head .

'no wonder those 2 monster women's had a lot of gold coins in their spatial bag! They are robbing travellers in the vincity of colos city in a group !'

"Sir , if you want to claim the money by yourself,then you have to submit thier heads at least.But if you let us do this cumbersome task for you then you will not need to cut the head and go through the procedure! We will only take 10 % gold coins from the bounty !"He said with a grin.

After thinking the pros and cons , i nodded in approval.

The reason why i didn't go to collect the bounty personally has a lot of reasons,

1. I have to personally go and collect the money from 2 different places. it is a waste of time .

2. When receiving the bounty i may have to meet some peoples who might i want to see my identity. I don't want to disclose my identity.

3. If i cut the head ,then the buyers may not want to buy that beasts corpse without a head .So the final money i will get will be far less then it should have been with a head attached.

4.In this world,people in high positions are almost all from noble or aristocratic background . Majority of them don't like ordinary peoples especially an orphan who has only one name .So they will not be in a hurry to meet with me to sign the money transfer papers . I will have to wait a lot of time to receive the money .

Manager meno's all ten finger is full of many gorgeous rings . After seeing my nod , he pointed his thumb fingers to the floor of this room .

Instantly , there was a lot of gold coins there . The whole room started to glitter in yellow colours.

"There are 54,000 gold coins after 10 % cut .Please wait a little bit we will start to display the magic beasts soon ,then we will call you to observe the whole procedure from the observatory room ." Saying that he left hurriedly .

I didn't focus on manager Meno's leaving, I was just staring at these sparkling coins .

'So beautiful,so shiney!'
