Chapter 61: Tumultuous Events XVII (1)
On the last day of the Eastern Trade auction at Benessa, the curtain fell on the grand finale.
Funds and goods flowed so enormously that the entire continent could feel the impact.
As the black knights concealed in the darkness began to move, clad in dark armor of black or purple, an air of anticipation gripped the onlookers.
Dozens or hundreds of them marched forward with combat weapons in hand, their formation intimidating even as they walked along the street.
“It’s those guys.”
“Sakiel Knights... the ones running the continent’s underground economy. Every time I see them, I feel it. They bring a lot of trouble without any apparent reason.”
Tilda expressed her discomfort, and Ophelia nodded in sympathy.
Back when they were adventurers, they had only heard stories—none of them good. The general consensus was that it was best to avoid them if one wanted to stay clear of troublesome situations.
While the individual fighting power of the Sakiel Knights wasn’t as formidable as most imperial knights, their strength lay in numbers. Operating as an organized unit, they could easily overwhelm their opponents like a swarm of ants.
Melan Square, crowded with these troublesome figures, presented a bizarre spectacle.
“If anyone sees this, they’d think it’s not an auction but an armed demonstration.”
“It’s a display, showing that no one can touch the Sakiel Knights. Simultaneously, there’s an ongoing fight between them and other organizations.”
“Regardless, we need to be cautious. Even with an agreement, a minor mistake in such a situation could escalate into a fight.”
Ophelia, sensing an impending conflict akin to armies on the brink of war, cautioned Tilda, who nodded in understanding.
As the serious atmosphere eased, the auction items appeared.
“The first auction item is a bow made from elephant ivory! A glorious weapon known to be usable only by the great warriors of Inkia! We shall decide the owner right here and now!”
“60 talets!”
“68 talets!”
“78 talets!”
At first glance, it was a seemingly simple bow, so it shouldn’t have gotten a high price from the start. However, in this auction, there was more than just a high starting price.
‘They sure are starting big, and the cause is those Sakiels...’
