Chapter 56: Tumultuous Events XII (1)
Connections were often formed in a variety of unexpected ways.
There were numerous instances where the desired connection came about purely by chance.
Connections were originally like that.
They weren't easily forged even with intentional efforts, and unintentionally made even when not sought.
And in that regard... Bahamut considered the current connections he had established as peculiar and unforeseen, beyond conventional evaluation.
***
On the fourth day of the auction.
As detailed information about the much sought after auction items slowly surfaced, the forces who had been waiting in silence for a while began to move in earnest.
The Sakiel Knights were also among those forces.
They conducted a pre-demand survey of targeted auction items and subsequent fund transfusion. There was even a preliminary investigation into other forces who would become competitors.
To achieve this, people from other organizations were sometimes bribed, and threats or violence were applied when the first one proved ineffective.
Of course, most of such work was conducted discreetly underwater to avoid any unnecessary attention.
“We received intelligence that the Fran Knights are also eyeing the treasured sword from the east.”
“Damn it... those annoying guys. If it weren't for the non-aggression pact, we could just slit their throats!”
“It can't be helped. The use of force is strictly prohibited at Benessa until the auction is complete. It's a rule set by the elders of Order on the continent through numerous consultations.”
“Cheh... well... if you draw your sword with other guests around, you'll end up causing a scene.”The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
“Yes, this is already the fourth time...”
“Hmmph! So what? You don't have to worry too much about some coward messing around in the dark. Something similar has already been happening for half a year, but have we faced any problem so far?”
“Yeah, that's right... but the number that was always displayed there is now 0...”
“It's fine. There are probably very few who haven't touched this hot market that has recently emerged. It's not just one or two knight orders. No king of any country would dare to do such a thing.”
“Alright, then we will proceed as planed.”
Anonymous letters similar to the one mentioned just now have been delivered to the Sakiel Knights for some time now.
Initially, it seemed inconsequential and was moderately ignored, but as it persisted, the Sakiels had no choice but to pay close attention to it.
It was disconcerting that the number, which started with 3 at first, had now become 0.
Above all, the fact that the timing coincided with the Eastern trade auction at Benessa, where the executives of the Continental Sakiel Knights gathered, was quite a concerning matter.
Of course, there wasn't a single Sakiel who would yield to such a trivial threat.
