Colossus Hunter

< 27. Mace Auction >

However, this also should not be tolerated. I was just looking at the beads of a quiet dungeon like running water.

You don't have to give me any information.

‘Large amounts of natural resources. And a jewel with special powers. ’

On the one hand, "Daemon-Lord" is not a very good arrangement. It's because they need natural resources for something, and even a special jewel was focused on ‘human’.

No daemon lord here, nor any monsters of the Abyss, have been receiving an increase in stats due to 'special gems.'

Ruby, Topaz, Emerald, Sapphire, Diamond!

It was a jewel of strength, agility, stamina, intelligence, and magical power in turn, but it was not the monsters of the Abyss that could be used with it.

‘If only I could. ’

On the other hand, for humans, it is a crazed dungeon for me.

A large amount of natural resources are a force in the current state. When the fighting started in the future, it would be difficult to sail the boat in the sea, and the sky would also be attracted to a lot of monsters.

‘Diplomatic disconnect. Occurrence of abnormal groups. ’

It is commonly said that Korea is a country that does not emit a drop of oil, but it is not wrong. When diplomacy was cut off, the most important question was whether the country could be self-sufficient.

In the past, there have been numerous abnormal groups and extremely sensitive security issues.

However, from now on, we can expand our crops. However, no matter how much natural resources were stored, there was a limit.

However, if we can obtain a large amount of natural resources in the dungeon, we can capture the present and the future simultaneously.

‘Jewelry must be obtained no matter what. ’

A type of jewel that has the greatest chance of catching monsters.

I've only rescued one ‘lowest ruby’ since I got back, too.

Gems enhance equipment and increase a human's abilities. A "special jewel" that you must get if you can save it, but it's buried in a dungeon?

“30,000.”

“Andaton has started bidding! Can Andaton win the dungeon again? ”

The duc called for Andaton Bruciel in a rather provocative way.

It's because he's been buying all the dungeons.

I couldn't help but get nervous.

"So far, Andaton Bruciel has used 450,000 points. ’

How long do you think we have?

Can you afford to keep buying them all?

The average point holdings of the daemon loads indicated 40,000.

The total number of points owned by all the daemon loads now is only 28.8 million. There were probably only ten daemon roads left with more than 100,000 points.

‘I've looked at the limits of most daemon loads in the last two days' auctions. Daemon-Lords other than Andaton Bruciel and myself own roughly 2.3 million points. ’

The bidding competition was also an opportunity to see the points they had.

I looked at everyone's ‘threshold’ more closely, so I knew.

Even if Andaton can't do it, he'll have 30-40,000 points.

He had more than 70-800,000 points in total from the beginning.

‘It's massive.’

I had no choice but to stick my tongue out after the calculations.

Where the hell did they get that point?

I also said that I obtained a lot of points while running the Chamber, but it was only possible because I was' collecting points’.

However, Andaton and other daemon roads have continued to invest in the inner ships, the preservation of territory, or stronger forces.

It means we still have a long way to go.

‘I have 150,000 points. ’

You can't fight head-on with certainty.

I had to make a move.

“40,000.”

“Lord Naplim has bid. ”

“50,000.”

“Rod Andaton has bid again quickly! Now, is there any more? ”

Definitely no competition Some were stabbing, but that was it. Some daemon roads were not interested in the auction of the dungeon at all, and there were fewer people who simply tried to buy the 'spacious dungeon’.

“If there are no more, this dungeon will still be won. On the count of three. One, two. ”

“60,000.”

“Lord Uriel! I wondered why they didn't come out! ”

“70,000.”

“Andaton again! ”

Oddly fast tempo.

The tender was being re-tendered fearfully.

Andaton Bruciel. Do you know something?

Do you have the ability to know information about the dungeons? ’

When it comes to Daemon-Lord, 'Siman’ is not universal. Only limited information could be printed. You may be able to see some skills, but it is not possible to know all of them.

‘But if you have that ability, you don't have to buy them all. ’

He was buying up all the dungeons.

On the first day, on the second day, without a care in the auction.

“70,000 points. If no one wants to bid more, · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“80,000.”

“Wheel! Uriel, you've worked hard! Obviously, you need a big dungeon. ”

“90,000.”

“It's hot! Andaton's bidding again! ”

Fast. Strangely fast.

Counter-bidding was faster than the previous auction.

I took action pretending to spend all my time thinking about it, but he certainly seemed to buy this dungeon.

‘In the past he benefited from the dungeon. The only one.’

However, the participation of other daemon loads is poor.

What's the matter with you?

Because buying an empty dungeon only takes up space.

If I calculate the effort to manage it, I rarely see profits there.

‘Rather a pain in the ass. It can be seen that other daemon loads do not allow guidance at the tender. ’

They would have raised the bid by poking.

However, such intentions were rarely seen.

When you buy a dungeon, the power weakens even if you leave it alone for administrative reasons such as essential expenses.

But Andaton Bruciel gained.

And I want to take advantage of this auction.

Suddenly, it seems that the person who won the lottery continues to buy the lottery recklessly.

But do you really think so?

Did he just jump in without any conviction?

‘If you really want to buy all the dungeons left behind. ’

More than 100,000 points would be a burden to him.

So I was not a fool enough to gamble. If it were just reckless, Lyra wouldn't have mentioned his name. “100,000. ”

I looked up to Andaton Bruciel.

How to get out. It also looks like a pride fight, so other daemon lords were watching with quite an interest.

Then, he said before the Duke opened his mouth.

“US $130,000."

· · · · · · · Ah.

I've reached my limit at once.

And I realized...

This is Andaton Bruciel.

He examined other daemon loads like me, and apparently completed the ‘limit' calculation.

At the same time, I am aware that my ‘2 million point theory’ is a fake and rather, I am clearly aware that the limit is close to 130,000 points I have just called.

In addition, the value of this dungeon must have been recognized.

‘There's not much to gain from Daemon-Lord. ’

The natural resources and jewels appeared above were ‘inferior useless’ to daemon loads.

But Andaton Bruciel wants to buy this dungeon.

‘A special hidden core. ’

Do you realize that more clearly than I do?

It seemed to say that the real value was there.

Damn it.

Now I only have one chance to bid.

If you call in 140,000, and he re-bids at 150,000, you will no longer have a chance to participate.

‘I looked at it too gently. ’

Why Andaton Bruciel wants to buy all the dungeons.

To clear the air of doubt. Now I know he's leading psychological warfare, too.

I was proud that only I could recognize this special information. If I had known this, I could have gained points more skillfully.

If you won the auction at a lower price and went in the direction of increasing funds · · · · · ·.

I shook my head.

It's in the past. It was a matter of dodge.

“Excellent! 130,000 points. Maybe this dungeon has something big in it! Are you no longer here? ”

The duc looked at me blatantly.

Andaton Bruciel. If he decides to buy it, it won't do me any good to wage any psychological wars. Whatever he says and does, he will buy a dungeon.

“140,000.”

“Hoo-hoo! All right. 140,000 points! We wanted this heat! ”

The Duke has taken excessive action.

It was the only thing I could do to raise my bid and make Andaton Bruciel pay for even 10,000 points.

But...

It was quiet.

There was no immediate re-tender.

"Why?"

I looked at Andaton Bruciel again.

He was smiling.

Looking at me clearly.

At one point, I know I'm laughing, but I'm not laughing.

That's an interesting smile.

It seems like fun.

“Uriel has bid at 140,000 points! Are you no longer here?”

I watched until the end.

That interest could have come as a joke.

“On the count of three. 3. ”

It felt like a second was flowing very slowly.

“2.”

Why aren't you participating?

Why are you looking at me with that smile?

He would have known I didn't really have 2 million points.

He is also confident that he will win if he fights.

“1.”

I didn't let go of the tension until the last moment.

And...

“Congratulations! Uriel won the dungeon for 140,000 points! ”

I won the auction.

At the same time, Andaton Bruciel said:

“Uriel Diablo. As expected, you are an interesting one. ”

When I met him in the Great Star, he asked me his name.

And he had not forgotten his name.

Until the end of all auctions, I could not find out what happened to Andaton Bruciel.

But one thing's for sure.

‘Granted.'

That he "forgave" me.

Knowing and moving on.

It was my own courtesy to squeeze everything out.

"Andaton Bruciel. ’

I also engraved the name more thoroughly.

I don't think anything bad could come of being friends with Lyra. However, I strongly felt that if he turned to the enemy, he would be very, very tired.

* * * * *

The mahjong auction is over.

I won four bids in three days.

Blue Lightning Spirit Petuga, Mixed Fear, Chaos Mimic, and the Unnamed Dungeon.

By the time I returned to the territory, everything I had won had already been delivered.

"You smell of K'Tuga. Do you know where our God is?

“It's not here. ”

Fire and Blue Lightning Spirit Petuga.

I made a deal with him. And I was in for quite a surprise.

‘You could be compared to a Supreme Spirit. ’

I've never seen a Supreme Spirit before. Once there was no contract between man and a Supreme Spirit, and the only Elven Queen had made a contract with a Supreme Earth Spirit.

Ability to process a single mountain in an instant. He saw dozens of kilometers of land being dug up at once to lure his enemies away, and he was shaken.

Petuga was a match for him.

The power of fire and lightning that I felt at the time of the contract seemed to be able to burn and burn everything if I just wanted to.

Then where is it?

“All I know is the stone with his power. If you want the stone, you'll see it soon enough. ”

A stone filled with the power of K'Tuga.

It was now being used as an anvil on Earth.

Understood

Petuga gently retreats.

He knew I wasn't lying until he made a deal with me.

The following are fear mixed together.

A huge chunk of flesh lingers outside the castle.

‘Hidden card to deal with the carpet of destruction. ’

I told the shrine not to get as close to the chariots or mercenaries as possible.

There's a habit of trying to eat all our enemies and allies nearby.

I can't even hear you.

In other words, fear that is mixed can be compared to a bomb.

You just have to hit the area you want it to explode. Then it exploded on its own and annihilated the surroundings.

I turned my head again.

‘Chaos Mimic. ’

A black box set up right next to it.

As a result of the 'prank of fate’, it was 50% likely to hold items worth more than 300,000 points.

I couldn't even imagine what was in it.

We are not even sure if it will be profitable or not, but the fact that we have to open it has not changed.

‘I'll have to open it from afar. ’

If something came out that was merely destructive, like a mixed horror, the castle that I had worked so hard to build could fly away.

I picked up the whole chaos mimic and began to move.

And after a complete departure from the land, Chaos Mimic opens up, swallowing a saliva from the heart of a barren wasteland.
