Chapter 62: Tumultuous Events XVIII (2)
!
Huh! Hahmn! Heok!
The next moment Ophelia felt the pressure disappear, and at the same time, she released the mana barrier and sat down on the spot, gasping for breath.
Right after that, in the front, a woman in the maroon robe slowly raised her hand again.
2700 talets, 1 silver coin.
An amount that was oddly irritating.
Bahamut and Ophelia automatically frowned at the fact, but they didnt even dare to raise their hands any longer.
It was because they knewthat the tremendous killing intent just before was a kind of warning.
If I raise the price more than this, then it wont just end with a warning
Recognizing the opponents intentions, Bahamut carefully supported Ophelia who was sitting on the floor.
MaMaster
Calm down. Lets go out for now. Ive done everything I had to do here.
Ah yesall right.
While slightly blushing at Bahamuts words, Ophelia went outside, supported by her master.
And there, the people they were expecting had come in advance and were waiting.
You!
Ah..Ophelia!
Bertina and Tilda, the core figures of the Uranus Merchant Company were there. They were waiting for Bahamut and Ophelia to come out, leaving the wagons on standby in advance.
Are you alright? From the looks of it, you were beaten quite badly.
To Tildas question, Ophelia struggled to get out of her masters arms and answered while standing alone.
N..yes. its okay. I will be alright if I rest a little bit
In her mind, Ophelia wanted to stay in her masters arms a little more. But she didnt want to cause any delays, and she had to pay some attention to the gazes around her.
Alright, lets hurry up. Nothing good will come if we stay longer than this.
Yes, Lady Bertina.
With those words, the people there hurriedly climbed onto the wagon, and it began to run along the road as quickly as possible.
The wagon left the city in an instant and boarded on a moored sailboat.
Like that, Bahamut and the others were able to leave Benessa safely without being caught in a great danger.
Without leaving a single word of regret.
***
A small private room located outside the auction house.
There, two women were examining the object they had just acquired a greatsword of a peculiar design.
Uhhow is it?
Looking at the woman in the maroon robe slowly caressing the weapon, the silver-haired woman cautiously asked.
The weapon was obtained by paying an exorbitant price of 2700 taletsand going through a bit of a cumbersome process of showing off ones strength.
Howeverthe womans face didnt seem very bright as she inspected the spoils of victory.
expectations dont always bring good results.
Ah
At those words, the silver-haired woman let out a short sigh, and the woman in the maroon robe looked at her companion and spoke quietly with a bitter smile.
It seems that the auction was a mixture of trash and treasureand it certainly doesnt always work out
With those words, she slowly stopped stroking the sword.
Andan intense amount of mana filled the room.
This is a little too much
Thrrraang!
The next moment, the greatsword shattered into powder with a terrible sound.
Watching her 2700 talets turn to powder right in front of her eyes, the silver-haired woman swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.
This isdangerousshes really pissed off
Thinking of the disaster that would happen if she reacted even a little bit wrong here, the silver-haired woman broke into a cold sweat and just looked at her companion in silence.
After a silence that seems to last forever, the woman in the maroon robe seemed to have finally sorted out her emotions a little, and let out a deep sigh.
Then, she slowly raised her head and got up from her seat.
Lets goregardless of how I feelwe have to finish our mission.
Ah..n..yes! All right!
The woman in the maroon robe slowly entered the auction house again, and the silver-haired woman followed behind her.
At that moment, the woman in the maroon robe calmed down her emotions and quietly thought about the matter once again.
Did that manknow about this?
The man tried to keep up even to the point where he was ready to pay an exorbitant price of 2700 talets. So if he had known that the greatsword was a plausible fake, he would never have done it.
However, the possibility that was all just an actwasnt small.
I cant make a clear decision about this yet
For now, it was impossible to be absolutely certain of anything. But, if the latter of her thoughts was correctshe would have no choice but to raise her opinion of the man a notch higher.
She would have to know, whether that man was an ally, oran existence that must be killed.
