287 Lunar gods

Leon, who found out that Rio already raised the price to something he couldn't compete with, was hesitating to speak as he turned to look at Rebecca and then at Alfred. Yet didn't know what to say.

He himself didn't know clearly what that bracelet was, he just felt the same familiar feeling from it, which he got from the last bracelet he wanted to give to the princess at her birthday years ago.

"Leon, do you want that bracelet?" Alfred, noticing his strange behavior, asked instantly. He was just thinking about what trick he should use to lure this guy into his camp. Since healing his mom was probably not going to work out easily.

But now here's his chance.

"If you want you can bid on it. Don't worry about the money."

"No, _ how can I _ I was just curious." Leon said and decided to ignore it.

Anyway that guy will probably give the bracelet to Rebecca too. So there was no need for him to interfere.

Alfred thought for some time, but didn't push this matter anymore. He didn't need to take any action himself, seeing that Vanessa and Korbil's were already in a tight bidding war against Rio. As the original price of 100 coins was raised to 500000 coins in just a few moments. And was still on the rise.

"1 million" Rio said, directly doubling the amount.

Seeing his determination to buy this item Vanessa was about to bid more, but just at that moment the clock ran out and the lady in red bashed the hammer on the podium. Signaling the end of this round.

Soon the waiter brought the bracelet to him, taking the silver bracelet in his hands, Rio started playing with it. Looking at every stone tied with the string carefully.

Everyone around was looking at his actions closely, trying to see if there was something special about the bracelet. But then Rio just crushed the bracelet in his hands and threw it aside. While dusting his hands as if he didn't like the craft.

-Cough cough

Rebecca gave a dry cough seeing this and frowned, as she thought, she was expecting too much from this idiot. 'I should really get him to buy me something later.'

Vanessa and others just thought that Rio was just raising the price on a whim seeing their actions. But in the end he himself lost it. They even felt happy about it.This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.

While Leon was the only one who felt dissatisfied with it. He was cursing himself about why he didn't tell Alfred or Rebecca about that bracelet. If he did, they surely would've bought it first.

But it was too late now, he couldn't even sense any aura of that stone anymore. So it was probably broken by Rio and got destroyed.

[Successfully stole the star stone - 25000 points.]

[Slightly altered the lunar scale event - 5000 points.]

[Several moon gods cast their eyes upon you.]

'What do these guys know, that ring is probably the only important thing in this auction. I should go back and properly check what's special about it tonight.' He sneered and thought, totally trusting his protagonist's sixth sense of luck.

But sadly luck wasn't on his side today.

"4000 coins" One of the guys with a hunched back stood up and spoke, while cupping his hands in the direction of Leon's room. As if asking for forgiveness before competing against them.

He was a little known figure in the study of metallurgy at floating islands, so not many were surprised when he spoke up to buy this rare metal ring.

"5000 coins." Another man stood up and glared at the hunched man and started shouting. "Morbien, how dare you bid against the Royal Prince's guests. Don't you want to live in Schilla anymore?"

"What, is the prince sitting in that room?"

"Of course, I saw it with my own eyes. Prince and the princess were walking on that side." Another man spoke from the side and soon the crowd churned in whispers.

"You should stop bidding, Morbien. So as not to anger royal highness."

"This doesn't concern you, old man. And I don't think his royal highness would mind something so little when I'm just following the rules of the auction." The hunched man said.

"You _ you're the old man. Your whole family is old. Auction, right _ I'll see how you bid then." The man said and waved a pouch filled with coins in the air. "5000 coins I'll take these rings and gift it to royal highness."

"6000 coins"

7000

7500

10000

Slowly and slowly 2-3 more people stood up and started competing for the ring, some wanted to end this farce early. Some wanted to research, while some wanted to lick Alfred by buying these rings.

Though Alfred felt happy seeing his popularity, Leon on the other side had a twisted look on his face. 'Where did all these people pop up from?'

His own pocket money was stolen outside this auction, but then by using the ring he got from the bandits and the warzy gang, he had around 40000 coins so he could still bid and buy stuff. But after buying the herb for her mother and a concentration pill for himself, he only had a little over 7000 coins left.

He could've still bought these rings at first, but now the price was already out of range for him.

Rio didn't look at Leon, he was staring at the rings. Especially one which looked almost on the verge of collapse and fully covered in layers of rust even from afar. His eyes closed and instantly he felt his consciousness getting pulled into the ring, the moment he stared at it.

In front of him he could see the silhouette of a man dressed in white clothes with his hands on his back, walking above the clouds.

Rio opened his eyes and breathed heavily. Beads of sweat appeared on his face but he waved them away, as system replenished his mana back to full without even asking. "So you're finally here." Rio said and smiled.
