The bidding price, which started at 1 million shillings, soared to 17 million shillings.

The price is five times that of the fallen noblewoman we saw a moment ago. Even if it is not in the city center, this is enough money to buy a mansion on the outskirts of the city.

‘who is this.’

However, Siron clicked his tongue and pressed the overbid button without stopping. Is it because the host made a fuss? Or does anyone know what kind of thing that is?

17.5 million, 19 million, 20 million…

Whether Siron was nervous or not, the bidding continued to rise. Honestly, the price is too much to pay for a walking stick.

A magic wand only plays an auxiliary role in handling magic. At best, it is a setting that makes mana calculation a little easier and allows for more precise control. Because of this, wizards who had reached a certain level, such as One-Horned Yuma and Roselyn, did not use staffs, saying they would hinder them in life-threatening battles.

However, that wand is different. Although the host was fussing about the Transcendence Stone and all, the true value of that staff was that it was the staff used by Seira.

[Forgotten Wizard Seira]. Siron needed that wand for the next time he met her.

-27.5 million shillings! The bid is successful!

Finally won the bidding competition.

“Oppa. I guess I really liked that cane.”

Siriel alternately looked at the panel with a huge amount of money displayed on it and the coin. Even for a woman who must have lived luxuriously all her life, 27.5 million was a large amount that was difficult to imagine.

‘Isn’t your brother incapable of handling mana?’

Siriel tilted her head and had doubts, but she didn’t bother to say that out loud. Still, Siriel was careful not to say anything related to training in front of Siron.

It’s not about being jealous or envious of Siron.

I just hoped that Siron wouldn’t be conscious of his inability to handle mana.

“Well.”

Siron took a breath and answered without looking at Siriel.

“It’s not that I liked it… I thought it would be useful in the future.”

“…Are you spending that much money even though you don’t need it right now?”

“Yes.”

Siron nodded and answered.

“There is no harm in preparing in advance. You don’t know, right? I should have bought that cane a long time later… because it could end up like this.”

“…I see.”

Although she nodded, Siriel did not completely agree with Siron’s intentions.

‘I’ll have to ask my mother how to deal with a man who is extremely wasteful.’

Siriel sighed a little and engraved the feedback she would receive from Eldrina in her mind.

After the auction of Seira’s staff ended. The following auction did not have as many impactful items as before.

-A fairy horn filled with moonlight.

-Albert’s Piano Sonata No. 14.

-Self-portrait of Emmanuel

These are items for the luxury or cherished possession of wealthy nobles.

-This is a necklace favored by the emperor’s mistress 200 years ago. It contains the energy of ice, so it has the effect of preventing the wearer from getting hot even in the summer.

‘It’s a unique grade relic…’

Only occasionally did I quietly press the bid button when I came across something that seemed useful. However, there was no competition like Seira’s staff.

-1.5 million shillings! The bid is successful!

‘It’s bland.’

Siron yawned and looked to the side.

“…Siriel, is there anything you like?”

“…Huh? What did you say?”

Perhaps because it was late, Siriel was dozing off a little.

“It’s nothing. If you’re sleepy, you can keep sleeping.”

“Yes, I understand.”

After Siriel finished saying that, she closed her eyes. Soon, a soft breathing sound was heard. Well, I’ve been busy wandering around all sorts of places since dawn today, so it’s natural to be tired.

Siron looked at the stage in a slightly relaxed position. The fever in the overheated auction house was gradually cooling down, and the items coming out were boring.

-Now here is the last item of the day!

The host seemed to have noticed that the atmosphere was starting to cool down and began speaking with even more exaggerated gestures.

A woman with restraints wrapped around her body began to come up on stage.

Sigh-

Sigh-

I couldn’t hear any footsteps, but the chains on my ankles made an annoying sound. Unlike the daughter who was first shown, what was unique was that she was not locked in a cage, but was walking on her own feet.

“Oh…”

Siron narrowed his eyes with an exclamation.

This is because her appearance is quite outstanding.

White skin that seems to shine through, pitch black eyes whose depth is unknown. And, she was an impressive woman with crimson, fantasy-like hair.

-As frequent visitors will know, our auction’s specialty has appeared.

‘institution?’

The host spoke as if responding to Siron’s thoughts.

-This is the slave that always graces the end of our auctions. Although she has peerless beauty, she is notorious as a woman who can never be sold.

‘evil reputation?’

-of course. There have been several customers in the past who tried to bid on this woman, but for some reason, all of them asked for a refund. Isn’t it fun? Thanks to this, our auction is making a profit every time without costing a single item. I think the goose that lays the golden egg refers to this woman.

-ha ha ha.

Is it because of the host’s humorous words? Laughter began to erupt from the seats.

“…What’s so fun about it?”

But the corners of Siron’s mouth did not move even a little.

It just makes me frown.

There are more than one suspicious thing. The fact that he came up on stage on his own feet was the same, as was the behavior of the previous owners who dared to ask for a refund.

‘Wouldn’t it be okay to just give them a lump sum and let them loose on the streets? ‘Who buys such malicious inventory?’

At that moment.

“…”

Even though it was quite a distance away, Siron made eye contact with that woman.

Siron felt as if the woman’s black eyes were shining brightly.

“…How.”

A crackling sound rang in my ears and disappeared. Siron guessed what that woman had done to Siron. No, I was definitely trying to do something.

However, it didn’t work because there was a blessing from Latera on Siron’s body right now. Siron thanked Latera in his head and looked at the touch panel.

‘That bastard… what are you trying to do to me?’

The asking price slowly begins to rise.

Did you forget what the host just said? I clearly foresee a future where I will bid and get a refund soon. This story makes no sense.

The starting bid price is 1 million shillings. Even though it is a large amount of money that is difficult to give even out of curiosity, the asking price continues to rise.

‘These bastards are absolutely evil.’

Siron smiled and watched the bids rise. It feels like I figured out a trick during a magic show. My interest has cooled. The moment Siron was trying to clean up the touch panel, vowing that it would never come again.

Patter-patter-

Some hot liquid began to flow in my mouth.

“P…?”

“Confucius. Are you okay?”

The woman who was massaging Siron’s feet looked worried and tried to approach Siron, but was immediately stopped by the knight who was guarding Siron.

“We will take care of it.”

The driver was wary of the woman and took out a handkerchief from his pocket.

Siron, who saw that the woman was slowly falling away, took a plain white cloth and began covering her nose.

“Are you too tired today? Why are you like this?”

It was a nosebleed that didn’t occur even with such ignorant training.

Siron frowned and looked at the touch panel at the sudden, incomprehensible physiological phenomenon.

I was worried that an accident would occur when I pressed the bid button due to a nosebleed. Fortunately, the nosebleed did not touch the touch panel.

but,

-4.7 million shillings. The bid is successful!

A colorful effect appeared on the touch panel that Siriel was holding next to Siron.

‘no way…’

“Hey, Siriel?”

“Huh? Why?”

“By any chance, did you press the bid?”

“Yes.”

Siriel smiled brightly and answered.

“I will choose that woman as the gift.”

“…Didn’t you hate being a slave? You just said that I was interested in a noble lady.”

“Ah, it’s different from that. Isn’t it a pity that she’s such a pretty girl but wasn’t chosen by anyone? And if it’s not me, shouldn’t I still be here? I feel so sorry.”

“Uh… um…”

“After giving you love, I will provide you with an education that will allow you to return to society properly… and make you free! But brother. What are you doing now?”

Siriel spoke to Siron, who was waving his hand in front of his eyes.

“I was wondering if I had been tricked by some kind of witchcraft.”

“A indeed. It’s not like that.”

Siriel blushed a little towards Siron. I was secretly happy because I could feel that my favorite brother was worried about me.

She turned her back and pointed to the blue ribbon tied in her hair.

“You mean this? It’s a magical device made to prevent interference with the mind. I inherited what my mother used. Um, so… Thank you for your concern, brother.”

‘Most men like women who are the first to say thank you.’

Siriel laughed, remembering the advice Eldrina gave her last night.
