Savagery of the Forgotten

"50,000 gold coins!" 

"51,000 gold coins!" 

The fierce bidding for the gem continued, but Aethelwolf was yet to offer his own bid. He just silently watch the scene with a calm look on his face. Most of the people who were fighting over the gem were rich madams and young ladies. Even the merchants took a step back from the bidding since it was no longer rewarding for them.

Suddenly, Aethelwolf raised his hand and said. "100,000 gold coins." 

His bid silenced the other bidders. He directly added fifty thousand gold coins to the bid as if that amount of money was nothing to him! 

"Isn't that Sir Aethelwolf? I heard that he won against Sir Karman in an Alchemy duel." 

"Why did he bid for that gem? Does he want to put it on his weapon?" 

"100,000 gold coins going once!"

"100,000 gold coins going twice!"
