Episode 422: Dark Auction ③
In the first place, an auction is a sale of goods offered for sale by a seller to a buyer who offers the best terms of purchase, including not just dark auctions, but also general ones.
There are few preferred bidders and there is no excess variation from the lowest bid price unless they compete further with each other.
However, if it is a popular product, each buyer openly puts his or her appetite on the table, so the purchase price will keep rising.
If so, I would be grateful as a seller.
Because as a seller, I have never gone beyond selling at a high price.
The same goes for auction organizers.
In this dark auction, the entrance fee is first entered by the entrant and the seller also pays for the item.
In addition, the prescribed fee is deducted from the bid price of the goods sold.
In the midst of the mess, the Lews head through the square to the entrance to the arena.
Alfred, the family order, told us from the source of the mourning fairy (Banshee) that after the admission reception, if there were any items to be listed, we would go through the process further in the office inside.
Lew exhales as he walks.
"The office will at least be able to reach the organizers."
It was Asmodeus who told Lu to slap him in the chest like that and leave him to it.
He seems quite confident in the product he will be selling.
"Ha, Master Lu. You'll be surprised to find out what I'm offering."
"Ha, I'm looking forward to it. By the way, everyone goes by a pseudonym, and by the way, I'm Lundell."
Lew smiles back at Asmodeus and returns his words before making a thorough note.
The other demons also recited the pseudonyms they always named.
I magically changed my face, but naturally I don't reveal my name or my name.
It could be a monkey play, but you don't have to call it grand from the start.
"I'm Morgane for once, huh?"
There are three long women at the entrance to the arena who will be at the reception desk.
He has a neat face with long blonde, silver and chestnut hair, but the color of his skin is all pale like a dead man.
It was the most carved, prominent face, the blonde, who was in charge of the Lews.
"Welcome to the Dark Auction: Obsession (Kupiditus)! Ladies and gentlemen, are you new here?
"Oh, yeah. I'm Lundel the Wizard, then my squire, and she's Morgane. And almonds, asmos, fists."
"Five people, right? I accept, my name is Hodil. First, you will receive 10 gold coins and a total of 50 coins per person."
* 1 gold coin = 10,000 yen.
"Yeah... Fine, you take it"
The storage bracelet that Lew gave me is a great item for morals.
Moral, who gave out 50 gold coins out of what he cared about, had a grin that could also be taken as ironic.
But Hodil hasn't lost either.
"No, Master Morgane....... I am satisfied with this amount for the customers who are in 'Obsession (Kupiditus)'. How many minutes do you have to pay for this and the 'chill' customers won't come..."
"As good as it gets... I'm sure it's hard to chill."
"Yes, I'm glad you understand. By the way, will the customers list items for sale? If so, I'll show you to the back office."
"Dear Lundell..."
Encourage Moral to call Luu's pseudonym to tell him about the listing.
"Yeah, we're bringing some merchandise for sale to auction. I need you to show me to my office."
"Yes, I did. This way, please!
Hodil bowed deeply when he smiled lusciously, inviting Lu and the others to his office.
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
The offices where Lu and the others were guided are quite large.
The atmosphere was very similar to that of a commercial guild room in Wang Du, where Lu was tested by a magic connoisseur.
There are tables everywhere, and appraiser-like men and women meet seller-like customers.
Apparently, an appraiser dedicated to the auction of darkness determines the lowest bid price based on the actual price of the product the customer places.
"Dear Jørgen, we have brought a new customer"
Hodil called on a man named Jørgen, who seems to be in charge of this office.
"Wow! This is... interesting!
Jorgen stared at the Lu and the others long and skinny.
He's a magnificent man with a cold, detailed atmosphere.
It would definitely be a 'snake' if you likened his thin cleavage eyes to animals that did not represent that emotion at all.
Hodil, the receptionist, backed off after he saw Lu greet him.
"It's the wizard Lundell."
"Hehe, you're late for greetings on this. I'm Jørgen, and I'm the manager of the Dark Auction Obsession."
"It's my squire who's here, and she's Morgane. And almonds, asmos, fists."
"Whew! You're all wonderful at this. Then I will serve you directly."
Jørgen seems to have spotted that Lu and the others are not alone.
But it was unclear how far Jørgen had found out who the Lews were.
The magic wave that shows the emotions he gives also seems to be deliberately making noise, which I couldn't even read through to just Lu.
"Quick, but let me explain the listing. First of all, it's a listing fee, but it's 100 flat gold coins combined with a security deposit. The minimum bid price varies depending on the appraisal price of the product. If you don't, we'll start bidding on this appraisal price."
…………
Jørgen goes on to explain pale.
Lu and the others are listening still as they arm themselves.
"The winning fee will be 30% of the winning bid amount...... If there is no bid, the item will be returned to the seller, but 50% of the security deposit will be collected here. You have items to sell, so we haven't given them to you yet, but what we're about to give you is the" paddle ", which is a testament (testimony) to the participants. When bidding for an auction, please name this bid and tell the auctioneer (auctioneer) the amount aloud."
* Forgive me for any differences between the above and the actual auction rules.
Jørgen had a man who seemed to be his subordinate bring five pieces of 'paddle' for the number of people when he squeezed his jaw.
Each of them receives a 'paddle'.
Paddle bills contained a crest mimicking numbers and flames, and the flames seemed to be the home crest of the owner of this auction or the mark of the organization.
"That's the auction description. Shall I show you the product?"
And when Jorgen licked his lips with his tongue, he urged Lu and the others.
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
Jørgen has now concluded administrative proceedings with the Lu and the others.
He seemed very satisfied with the product that Lew and the others were offering.
"Well...... all your products are fantastic. I'm sure this auction will be a success."
Jørgen praised the Lu and the others in disgust.
But everyone is beginning to see the nature of this dark auction manager, Jørgen.
That he would be a completely different person from his mouth...
Apparently, the identity of Lew and the others has not been dispersed, but there is no way they can hide the enormous magic that each possesses.
From him, you recognize it as a creepy line that you can't handle.
Luu hangs a sickle on Jørgen.
"You organizers are going to make a lot of money."
"No, it's outrageous. Venue, labor, product management, etc. are also very costly. Wouldn't it be close to charity bridging supply and demand...... oh, sounds like your time is up"
When Jorgen answered Lew's question with a cold grin, he came to tell me that it was one hour away from the other world's time until the auction began.
"Teko! Master Lundell, show us the line to the salon."
When the dry voice of Jorgen sounded and saw a man called Teko come to pick him up, the Lu and the others stood up softly.
