Dungeon Master Makeup Money (formerly known as Dungeon Master Funding)

Venue lighting drops.

It doesn't get dark though. In the dark at the party venue the day before yesterday, there were a number of nobles who were afraid of losing their sight because nobles had been attacked by thieves.

Dimmered auction venue.

The lighting is applied to the stage in the center.

There, a man in a suit stood Mike in one hand.

"I'd like to start an auction more than this"

First, the moderator begins to greet you lightly.

Then a woman in a suit similar to the host walks from the side of the stage to the center of the stage as she pushes the wheeled trolley.

On the trolley lay a light water kettle depicting a blue dragon wrapped around it.

"All of a sudden I brought you today's eyeballs."

Sonia was squeaking when she saw the kettle.

"Ladies and gentlemen -! This is a pot depicting the Mizgarm Dragon, the greatest masterpiece left behind by a potter who served the Empire 400 years ago."

"Mizgarm Dragon?"

It must be a kind of dragon by name, but it was an unfamiliar name.

"I can't help but hear about it. In the heart of the empire at the time - a little bit further north than in the center nowadays - there was a big mountain of powerful dragons that inhabited it."

The place was one I wanted to hold back after doing business with the North.

However, one giant dragon after another, conveyed to be more than a hundred meters long and inhabited by the mountain, tried to exploit the mountain, and it could not be used by humans.

But thanks to the presence of the dragon, there was no such thing as demons in the mountains or demons attacking from beyond the mountains.

The Mizgarm Dragon attacked only those who came into its own territory, and the subject chose no man or demon.

With such merit, the Mizgarm Dragon was called the Guardian Dragon.

But the guardian dragon ceases to show up at the border at some point.

I don't know the cause.

The truth was not known just because it was told that a powerful adventurer had attacked him and killed him when he moved his habitat somewhere else.

But the story of the Guardian Dragon was popular within the Empire.

A dragon that also had power and consequently protected me from demonic threats.

A pot made by a potter with the best arms among potters at the time when he saw a dragon resting on the top of a mountain that was such an admirer - that was the pot of Mizgarm Dragon.

The magic of state preservation is also hung, so it remained beautiful at the time.

"This one's been missing for years."

It was decorated in Imperial Castle for a while, but did it become a trend of times or financially tough to sell antiques?

There were a number of nobles within the Empire who owned such works of art.

"But this time we are celebrating the new emperor's inauguration, the nobleman has provided us with assets that were owned by him."

He says it's offering, etc., but in fact, it just took away all the property he had solemnly.

"It's a pot of Mizgarm Dragon, but I'd like to start with ten gold coins"

"Eleven gold coins"

"Twelve gold coins"

"Thirteen!

A nobleman under the auction venue catches one gold coin at a time and goes.

With ten gold coins, a poor family living in the countryside can live for a year.

I hang an amount that is a lot of money for civilians to get a single pot because it's not a lot of money for them in the nobility.

"Fifty gold coins"

Shortly after the fifth proclaimed fifteen gold coins, even though the nobles slightly above had caught one at a time until then, they had caught as many as 35 at once.

"55 gold coins"

"Sixty."

After that, they catch me one by one.

At first there was no figure of nobility that had caught one piece at a time.

"Is that the kind of system"

Melissa squeaks as she sees someone fishing for the winning bid.

"The seat height shows the height of your identity as it is. The higher the title, the more assets you have."

Nobility in the lower seat - in the assets of lower nobility could not have already participated in the competition of over a hundred gold coins. You may participate, but there is definitely a ruin waiting for you when you accidentally become the wings you purchase. They couldn't afford to hang dozens of gold coins in one pot.

But when it's time to go over a hundred gold coins, even intermediate aristocrats will have difficulty getting their hands on it.

The movement of the winning bid value becomes dull.

"It's time for us to join."

It's not funny just to watch it like this.

The pot of Mizgarm Dragon was not from the labyrinth, so [appraisal] could not be used, and from what I've seen straight away, it didn't feel like it was worth the magic.

"A hundred gold coins!

'Whoa!'

The entry of senior aristocrats into the competition increased the bid price at once.

"Is that what you want me to do?

The same was true at party venues, but quite a few pieces of art and antiques had been put up for auction.

I am not familiar with antiques so I am not sure about their value.

"Empires are countries that have grown larger by waging wars and annexing countries around them, so there are a lot of slightly aggressive nobles."

Melissa explains the aristocratic circumstances of the Glenvarga Empire.

"In their spare time without war, they tended to show their authority by showing their art and so forth."

There was no problem surrounding the artist because there was some money gained from looting, and it was believed that it was the status of the nobility to surround such a person because it was the status gained by the invasion.

'Is there anyone else?

Check if the MC offers any other winning bid value.

It was more like asking what was going on than no movement on the other senior nobles.

"How many for now?

"Right..."

Think of it as an Iris question.

I don't want the kettle itself so badly, but I'd like to see how it reacts when I catch the winning bid value at once.

"Double it for now"

Copy that.

"Huh..."

Ilis, the butler, approaches the microphone prepared for the room.

Those attending the auction from the private room presented the winning bid value from the microphone in the room, so that their voices could echo in the venue from the tools installed on the wall facing the venue.

"200 Gold Coins"

As I declare, Illis presents 200 gold coins.

I don't mind winning because I can afford a level that is fine in the unlikely event of winning a bid for something that is not necessary.

"210 Gold Coins"

I immediately got ten more from another private room.

At this stage, even intermediate aristocracy seemed unable to reach him, and he looked up regrettably to a place with private rooms. Inside you can also see Prince Randolph.

"I see. A senior aristocrat can easily give you this amount"

I was reluctant to put it out earlier because I was watching.

It was eventually won by 440 gold coins.

He didn't participate in the auction since he presented 200 gold coins, and watched how much he could afford rather than the trend of other bidders......

"That pot is quite valuable to the Empire."

"It's of historical and artistic value enough to be easy enough to give out about a hundred pieces of gold... because the nobleman who had it got it by illegal means can't get it on the table, and sometimes it's been missing for a while, and the value is jumping even further."

Sonia tells me how strange things are after she presents 200 gold coins.

You're familiar with it.

"I'm in charge of gathering information. I got familiar with a lot of things while I was talking to people and doing research."

However, I can't think of anything difficult just because I am familiar with the information.

For this reason, at Rio's party, Marie thought about the information Sonia had gathered below.

Still, I didn't mean stupid, so I remember exactly what I looked into.

"By the way, I was giving out 200 gold coins earlier and it didn't seem like a problem, but how much the hell did you have for me?

"Oh......"

I'm convinced that's the case.

No matter how many earned adventurers, 200 gold coins are not the amount that can be easily given out.

Nevertheless, Sonia also knows that I am the master of the labyrinth, so I know that as long as I have magic, I can produce an infinite amount of gold coins.

Still, it seems suspicious to have an amount that you can't possibly have.

I had to weigh myself.

But it had also been solved thanks to the giant earthdragon.

"In the meantime, I've got a million gold coins for this auction"
