Chapter 4:

Shadows of the Marquis

THE DAY AFTER HUMMELS attacked us, we attended the auctions as planned, especially after Velmeria asked us to resume our normal activities. Whatever Aschtner was planning, Bayreeds decided that keeping a low profile was the best way to throw him off.

Besides, we had magicites to bid on.

First up is a Goblin King magicite.

“Hm.”

Participants were given the names of the magicites that would go on sale, but their skills remained a mystery. skills were quite useless to the ordinary buyer, and they were difficult to understand. Even with Heavensight, I could only see what kind of monster the magicite came from. Maybe there was a skill that in turn allowed you to see what skills a magicite had, but I had never heard of it. That would be really useful if we came across it, though.

Our target was C-Threat magicite, from humanoid monsters in particular. Humanoids were skilled with their hands and possessed many skills, thanks to their ability to train. From what I’d seen, goblins, orcs, daemons, and other such humanoids were among their number. Their humanoid form also made it easy for Fran to make use of them. I really wanted the daemon magicite, the final item in the afternoon session. However, the number of potential buyers it attracted guaranteed a bidding war.

Not that we were strapped for cash after the Beastman Nation awarded us with twenty million gauld. Still, we didn’t want to pay ten times the initial price for it. We might get away with getting the stink eye from our fellow bidders, but an astronomical bid could raise Marquis Aschtner’s suspicions.

“Shall we?”

“Hm.”

You listen to everything Kodart says, okay, Fran?

I will.

We weren’t alone today. A representative from the Adventurers’ Guild was with us so Fran wouldn’t stand out. People were bound to do a background check on a little girl buying up all the magicite by herself. To avoid that, Erianthe suggested hiring an adventurer who was familiar with the auction house.

Kodart was an E-Rank adventurer who had Identify and who was an auctioneer in his previous career. He had long admired adventurers, so when he finally had enough money to buy himself a set of armor that wouldn’t get him killed in the field, he signed up at the guild and never looked back. He was thirty-five years old—no spring chicken, but it was quite impressive when you considered that he made it to Rank E at his age. He was late in blooming, but he had bloomed, indeed. He mostly took on minor extermination quests and odd jobs in the capital, and had a great deal of fun carrying them out. He had nothing but respect for Fran, whom he considered a powerful adventurer despite her age.

With such a glowing endorsement from Erianthe, we had no choice but to accept his employment.

“Will this be everything you want to bid on?” Kodart asked.

“Yeah,” Fran said.

Though they sat next to each other, Kodart would be doing the bidding. We made a list of all the magicite we wanted to bid upon.
