When Han Se-yeon heard the word 180 billion, she breathed a sigh of relief.
When I typed again, her expression hardened again.
[No. 18, 190 billion won!]
I put down the pad and turned my attention to Han Se-yeon.
“This is the last time. “You don’t have to worry anymore.”
Nevertheless, Han Se-yeon’s face was full of anxiety.
[No. 18, 190 billion! 190 billion! highest price
190 billion! Is there anyone else you would like to call?]
The host continued to chant 190 billion.
Han Se-yeon watched the situation with a nervous expression. At that time, the host’s expression was filled with surprise and she shouted loudly.
[Number 26! 200 billion won! 200 billion!]
At those words, Han Se-yeon’s tense expression relaxed and she leaned back in her chair.
I grinned at the host outside the window.
Everything is going according to plan.
According to the original description, the money Zaun prepared for this auction was 200 billion won.
Zaun was aiming for two items in this auction, but the most important one for them was the ‘Mana Core’.
Since you’ve just spent all your money, you’ll have to give up any remaining items.
If that happens, the next auction item will be mine.
Room 26 of the underground auction house assigned to Jaun.
I succeeded in bidding on the item I wanted, but the atmosphere in the room was not good.
“Number 18, what are they doing?”
Bert muttered with a puzzled look on his face.
Jin also scratched his head.
“I know. What are they really doing? “I was nervous.”
“No, what kind of guy is number 18? Why spend 190 billion won for this useless holy relic?”
The core of mana.
It is a relic that contains almost infinite magical power, but there is no way to effectively utilize the infinite magical power, so it is of less value than other relics.
The winning bid amount they expected was 80 billion.
However, contrary to expectations, it was sold for 200 billion won, more than twice as much.
“Isn’t it strange?”
“what?”
“No, 1900 as if we knew that we had just set aside 200 billion.
“You cut it off in billions.”
“It must be a coincidence. “Once the first digit changes, the burden you feel changes.”
Bert sighed at Jin’s words.
“Anyway, the people at the auction house here almost killed me.”
“I know. “It almost ruined my next plan.”
“Still, I’m glad I succeeded in winning the bid. “Although the expenses were greater than expected.”
Jin nodded.
Bert said while checking the list of auction items.
“Should we eventually give up on ‘Hammer of Hephaestus’?”
“I can’t help it. “It’s a coveted item, but I don’t need it right away.”
“Tsk. Still, it’s a shame.”
Hephaestus’ hammer.
It was an artifact that could breathe mystical power back into a broken item that had lost its mystical power.
Among Zaun’s many treasures, there were many artifacts that had lost their mystical powers.
I’ve been coveting it for a long time.
A time when I felt so regretful.
The host’s shout was heard again.
[This product is a relic! It is the ‘Hammer of Hephaestus’! It has the effect of repairing the mystical power that has disappeared from the item!]
“uh? “It came out.”
[Starting from 2 billion!]
The host shouted loudly.
[No. 6, 2.5 billion won!]
[Number 12, 3 billion! Number 2, 3.5 billion!]
Jin, who was watching the auction, muttered quietly.
“eww. “If we had the money, we would have shouted out 10 billion won and taken it.”
“What is this about guys number 18?
really.”
At that time, Jin’s pocket vibrated.
“I got a call from the kids.”
“Take it.”
Jin took out a round communication magic sphere from his pocket and put it on his ear.
“Uh, why?”
-Jin, how is the auction going?
“First of all, I won the bid for the Mana Core.”
—How much did you get it for?
“200 billion. “I spent all my money and barely got it.”

-what? Isn’t it too expensive? So what about the hammer of Hephaestus?
“I have to give up.”
—Um, okay. So are you done with your schedule?
“yes. “I’ll get the Mana Core and go up right away.”
-okay. We are almost ready.
“Uh huh.”
Pop.
I hung up. Protect Jin’s phone call
Bert, who was watching, asked.
“what?”
“They said they were ready.”
“okay? “Then let’s go pick up the goods right away.”
“huh.”
At that time, the host’s loud voice echoed throughout the room.
[Number 18, 9 billion! 9 billion! The highest price was 9 billion! Is there anyone else you would like to call?]
“… … “It’s number 18 again.”
[5, 4, 3, 2, 1! The bid was successful!]
“Tsk.”
A coveted item falls into someone else’s hands
It passed.
I quenched my appetite with regret.
Again and again
—I —I .
Then there was a knocking on the door from behind.
I heard it.
—Member 26. Please follow us to receive your items.
“Here are the items.”
“thank you.”
I held an old steel hammer in my hand.
I finally got what I wanted.
I paid a whopping 9 billion won.
But still, it wasn’t a waste. Because you can make money whenever you want.
［Hammer of Hephaestus (Relic)］
Category: Hammer
Description: Hammer used by the blacksmith god
［Effects of use］
►Mystery Repair
Invokes the mysterious power lost in a broken item.
*Cooldown time: 30 days
*The mystical power contained in the relic cannot be summoned.
Durability: SS
Hephaestus’ hammer.
It was a special item that could repair the mysterious power that had disappeared from a broken item.
The disadvantage was that the mystical power contained in the relic could not be repaired, but since there was almost no need to repair the relic in the first place, it was not a major disadvantage.
I wanted to look around a bit more, but there was no time to relax.
Now that the underground auction is over, we need to prepare for the next event.
I pretended to put the hammer of Hephaestus into the bag I had prepared beforehand and placed it in the empty space.
“It’s all over now, right?”
A voice was heard from behind. I turned her body and looked at her.
“Yes, it’s all over.”
“is it so. “Let’s go up now.”
Han Se-yeon and I climbed the stairs. She glanced at me with Se-yeon’s masked face.
“why?”
“no. It’s fascinating. “Did you anticipate the bidding amount for today’s auction?”
“Well, that’s roughly it.”
“Then, did you know that person number 26 had exactly 200 billion in his possession? “Is the item you successfully bid on actually the item number 26 was aiming for?”
“Well, I don’t know.”
“Tch.”
Han Se-yeon clicked her tongue at my insincere answer.
“all right. I won’t ask. That’s why they make a mess during social events today. “When is that?”
I checked the watch on my wrist.
It’s 9:25 now. The incident occurred at 10 o’clock, so there was about 30 minutes left.
“There are about 30 minutes left.”
“… … “It’s something specific.”
Han Se-yeon, who was mumbling like that, opened her mouth again.
“You didn’t plan the whole situation so far just to deceive me, right?”
Although she said it jokingly, she could feel the worry in Han Se-yeon’s voice. When she saw that, she felt like teasing her, so she pretended to be surprised and answered.
“How did you know? “In fact, it was all designed to deceive Han Se-yeon.”
“… … “Don’t play around.”
Han Se-yeon spoke in an anxious voice. Judging by the tremor in his voice, he seems genuinely worried.
It was so cute that I laughed.
“It’s a joke.”
It was a short answer, but Han Se-yeon nodded as if relieved.
So we climbed the stairs of the underground auction house and came out into the closet of the hotel room.
When I took off the mask, the frustration I felt on my face disappeared.
Han Se-yeon looked in the mirror and adjusted her appearance. It’s pretty enough even without cleaning it up.
After finishing arranging her appearance, Han Se-yeon turned to me and said.
“Then shall we go back?”
“is it so.”
Han Se-yeon and I came out of the room.
As I walked down the hallway, I began to hear the orchestra’s music again.
It was proof that we were already getting closer to a social event venue.
I stopped and spoke to her.
“Then let’s part ways here.”
“Here? hmm. is it so. later incident
See you again when this is over.”
“is it so.”
I answered with a smile. Se-yeon Han gave me a bright smile and walked towards somewhere.
I looked behind her and called her again.
“Han Se-yeon.”
Han Se-yeon stopped at my call. And then she turned around with her questioning face.
“It’s going to be very dangerous here. It’s hiding in a safe place. “Don’t get hurt for no reason.”
Han Se-yeon looked at me intently and opened her mouth.
“Are you worried about that?”
“of course.”
Han Se-yeon smiled softly at my answer.
“all right. “I’ll hide in a safe place.”
30 minutes before the incident occurred.
Baek Eun-seong, who had changed his appearance with a magic tool, was enjoying the event by devouring fruit.
“hmm. “This is delicious.”
—Don’t do anything useless. I didn’t come here to play.
A woman’s voice sounded in his ears. The owner of the voice was Bert.
“okay. okay.”
Baek Eun-seong looked around.
“And as I said earlier, I don’t see anyone worth being wary of.”
—Still, take a good look. There is information that the Fire Witch participated in this event. And it was said that the Hansung Group also hired quite skilled mercenaries as security guards. It would be quite dangerous.
“This terrorist attack is quite difficult.”
-hey! Speak quietly. Others will hear it.
“Uh oh. okay.”
So Baek Eun-seong continued walking around the event venue. The person at the same ordinary event venue as always
It was a crisis. People who didn’t know what kind of incident would happen in the future were laughing and enjoying socializing.
“I see quite a few famous people.”
I muttered to myself as I looked at the famous business people who often appeared in the media.
“uh? “There is also longevity.”
—If you are talking about longevity, you are a swordsman from the Hanseong family?
“uh. and. It’s my first time seeing it in real life, but it’s no joke. “You look stronger than Scar.”
—You’d better not say that in front of Scar.
“That’s natural.”
Tap, tap, tap.
At that time, Baek Eun-seong’s eyes caught the back of a man.
It was a man with brown hair.
“… … “It feels familiar.”
Where did you see it?
Baek Eun-seong was a person with keen senses who could think of a person based on their body type alone.
I definitely remembered meeting someone with a body type similar to that from behind.
Who was that?
That moment when you are lost in thought.
A man with a familiar face passed before his eyes. At the same time, Baek Eun-seong’s attention turned to that place.
“hey! “Aren’t you a student Seojun Lee?”
‘Pioneer’s Night’ continued with the same luxurious atmosphere as before. No one seems to have any idea what kind of mess will happen here.
I walked among the people and thought about what would happen next.
The place where the incident occurred was the exhibition hall where Jin Cheon-woo’s items were stored.
If it is similar to the original story, Jaun, who successfully completed the auction, will terrorize Principal Lee in order to retrieve Jin Chun-woo’s black sword.
Of course, if there were no special changes, they would successfully retrieve Jin Cheon-woo’s sword, but I had no intention of just ignoring this terrorist incident.
As long as you know what’s happening here, you can just quietly watch.
Because there is no bay.
So I plan to actively intervene in this case.
The goal is to capture at least one member of Zaun.
Of course, I can’t do any harm to them on my own, but here in the Night of the Pioneers, I have plenty of swords to stab them for me. If we actively use them, wouldn’t something work out?
“Hmm.”
As I was walking straight toward the exhibition hall, I saw a familiar face on the stairs to the second floor above the exhibition hall.
It was Seojun Lee talking to someone.
Lee Seo-jun’s conversation partner was a young man holding a glass of alcohol in one hand, and he felt strangely suspicious.
If it’s the same as the original story, that man is probably him.
I used ‘Character Detection’ on him.
Name: Baek Eun-seong
Age: 35
Race: Human Status: Peaceful Magic Level: S Interest Level: 0
also.
As in the original work, Baek Eun-seong approached Lee Seo-jun. He changed his appearance using magic tools, but he couldn’t fool ‘character detection’. I strengthened my hearing with magical power and overheard their conversation.
—What do you think when you see the items on display over there?
