Chapter 82: The Slave Hiding Their Power (2)
While Shiron and Siriel were spending a seemingly cozy time together in the mansions training yard, a child was being ostracized.
Squeak-
Lucia Prient.
From dawn until dusk. The red-haired girl was dripping with sweat, wielding a sword that had even been affectionately nicknamed Black Iron.
What? Do you think Im being ostracized?
I didnt say it quite like that?
Shirons loyal servant, Encia, shrugged her shoulders as she looked at Lucia.
It just seems a bit like that. Or perhaps, are you taking the chance to swing your sword while Lord Shiron and Lady Siriel are away When others play, I become stronger? Is that it?
What are you on about
Lucia stopped swinging her sword and glared daggers at Encia.
Encia. Although her exact species was still unknown, Lucia knew she was a demon and an incredibly strong one at that.
However, Lucias attitude towards Encia was somewhat lax. Due to the deep-seated distrust ingrained in her towards demons, she never completely let her guard down in front of her, but she was at least able to interact without fear.
Why do I need a reason to swing a sword? I just do it without thinking.
Really?
Why? What is it?
Dont lie. Your face is clearly showing your regret.
Do you have some sort of grudge against me?
Lucia slung her Black Iron Sword over her shoulder, approached Encia, and swiftly grabbed and drank the lemonade she was holding.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.
Hmm
Encia narrowed her eyes as she looked at the red-haired girl.
It was hard to say whether it was boldness or just impudent behavior, but from this action, Encia did not feel fear. One thing was clear: Lucia was not afraid in the face of Encia, who could kill her with just a flick of her wrist.
Swoosh-
Whatever.
Encia shook out her skirt and stretched luxuriously. It seemed as though she was loosening up from some strenuous activity, but all she had done all day was watch a ten-year-old girl swing a sword.
Lucia exhaled heavily and sheathed her sword.
Thin eyes, a beaming smile. Upon seeing her reaction, Lucia felt like she had become a target of Encias mockery.
She wanted to give that mischievous demon a good thump on the head. But right now, she was too weak to do so.
The reasons to become stronger seem to be growing by the day
After Encia entered the annex, Lucia took a deep breath and circulated the mana throughout her body.
It seems Is it because of the combat experience Ive accumulated? I might reach my goal sooner than I expected.
The mana, which originated from her dantian and spread through her meridians, had doubled in quantity compared to a few weeks ago and had become easier to control.
This pace of progress could never be achieved by just swinging a sword on the training ground. Indeed, a single real fight approached with the readiness to die proved more effective than swinging a sword ten thousand times.
It seems following Shiron wasnt in vain after all.
Lucia shook her sweat-drenched hair and smiled proudly.
In the VVIP seats of the auction, where all sorts of treasures were handled, Shiron received the utmost service from the auction house staff.
Embroidered with black velvet and gold threads, the chair had a massage function whose mechanics were a mystery. A woman in a low-cut dress that revealed her dcolletage massaged Shirons feet with fragrant oil, her delicate fingers working skillfully. The sight was pleasing, and the body was at ease.
Im losing my mind
However, despite indulging in luxuries he couldnt have even dreamt of in his past life, Shirons expression remained grim.
It was a pattern often seen in the game.
By rescuing the girl, one could effortlessly raise their prestige without the hassle of extra effort; just money was enough to gain some reward and the chance to face the heretic.
Ive accumulated enough penalty points as it is, I cant afford to die here.
Shiron shook his head, giving up on the idea of saving the pitiful young lady. He might have felt a twinge of sympathy, but, unfortunately, the decision wasnt up to him.
Shiron glanced at Siriel seated next to him out of a what if curiosity.
Siriel, what do you think about that girl? Dont you feel sorry for her? She looks about four or five years older than you
However, Shiron couldnt finish his sentence. Siriel shot him a sharp look.
Brother, are you eyeing another girl? Even when a proper lady is sitting right beside you?
Yeah, sorry. Lets just drop it.
Shiron closed his eyes and looked at the touch panel. On it, he could see the real-time bidding price ticker.
Watching the graph climb in a step-wise fashion reminded him of a stock ticker with no upper limit.
3.6 million shillings! Thats the final bid!
The auctioneer shouted loudly, and the touch panel erupted with elaborate effects.
3.6 million shillings. Even Shiron thought that was a hefty sum.
A person capable of handling such an amount must undoubtedly be in this VVIP section.
Shiron was curious about who would have won the girl. While looking around, he saw an Oriental-styled man flashing a distasteful grin.
It was the leader of the Liberators.
It doesnt fit his looks his tastes are interesting.
Shiron grimaced slightly and shook his head. He thought that it was possible. It was foolish to determine someones preferences by their looks. Perhaps even a docile-looking person might want to tame a vicious noble lady.
And so, one by one, items passed by on the stage.
A famous alchemists elixir.
In the desert, a gemstone was found in a dungeon.
A rare, fantastical species of a summoned beast
Although he had come to the auction house to pick a gift for Siriel and couldnt return empty-handed, Siriel showed no interest in any of the items.
But I doubt Mother would allow a pet, and Ive already had my share of the Elixir of Youth, plus theres Lucias gift. And just so you know, Im tired of jewels.
I see.
If you really cant decide you can buy something you want.
Saying this, Siriel teasingly stroked the back of Shirons hand, smiling mischievously.
Shiron wondered where she had learned such gestures, but soon Eldrinas face came to mind.
What on earth have they taught this child?
However, contrary to his inner thoughts, Shiron did not show his panic. He just smiled faintly and nodded.
Thanks. Ill take a look and decide.
This next item will surely meet your expectations. Estimated to be crafted 700 years ago! It is a staff with a transcendent stone at its end!
The auctioneer, with much excitement, unveiled the item.
And there, Shiron saw a staff with a form that was very familiar to him.
As if entranced, Shiron pressed the bidding button.
A staff wrapped with a purple gemstone
It was a legendary-grade item. It was Seiras staff.
