Chapter 48: Auction time~

...

Eh?

"Eh?"

""Huh?"" 

...

"Could it be that it broke?"

"H-hmm? Well, maybe after so many uses over the years it has finally reached it limit?" The elf said while scratching the back of his head

"What if we try it on another person?" Alyem said while looking puzzled 

"Hm" The elf nodded and gestured another mother and her son to advance to receive the test.

...

"Soul power... 2... It's working perfectly..."

...

"... Maybe my Soul Power it's too large that the artifact can't measure it, and it ends up showing [0.1] Instead?" 

There's no way my soul is THAT weak, I mean, I can handle 6 accessories while someone with 10 of Soul Power can handle just 1...

It could not make any sense that I have such a weak soul...

"If that was the case then this could have just showed [Immeasurable] instead of [0.1]" The elf answered with an annoyed expression at my maybe a bit arrogant remark.

...

"Well, I guess that proves that Soul Power does not have anything to do with talent, cheer up Aspen, you just made a great discovery! hahaha..." Alyem patted my back while letting out a forced laugh.

"..."

"Come on, Aspen, there's certain elvish food that you have yet to taste in that restaurant in the distance, I'll pay so don't worry"

Sigh... Whatever, at least my plan on robbing the boots didn't go to waste.

I wonder why did such a low result appear though...?

Maybe human souls from my world are weaker than souls from this world?

Ugh... whatever, not like this shitty system will answer anything anyways.

"Sigh... Alright, I'm hungry anyways"

"You won't be disappointed!"

...


Three days later

*Crack*

*Crck!*

"Huff... Alright, then just one more step..."

I grabbed the small rock with a strange conical shape on my hand and pointed it towards a tree.

[Mana explosion]

*Bang!*

*Tack!*

The rock soon flew at a terrifying speed after receiving the concentrated explosion from my hand and pierced through the tree, leaving a small hole in the middle of the trunk of the tree.

"Fiuuu~ This is like a bullet! Though maybe the rock needs a bit more hardness, and the explosion a bit more of potency. That way I can be sure that this could become enough to kill any zombie or Demon eye almost instantly... Or well, I can also aim towards the eyes and do a lot of damage"

Eyes are one of the weak points of almost every race, so this goes perfectly with my fighting method. If you can't win against his body, aim directly at the eyes!

Easy peasy!

Though maybe this move could be a bit useless like it was against the Goblin Commander, as his skin was so thick that I doubt I could even scratch it, even if I used this ability for ten hours straight.

Ok, maybe that's a bit too much... but battles don't take 10 hours. So this move is useless against overpowered opponents.

Hmm... maybe I could add some rotation to the projectile by using mana manipulation around the rock. That way it gains piercing power!

Oh, right!

I also forgot to mention it.

Yesterday, Alyem showed me "The Auction of Fedolas" A place where Elvish merchants bring treasures and interesting objects they find on their journeys across the continent.

And holy crap it was really a good day!


Flashback: Two Days Ago.

...

"What is this place Alyem? Just so you know I'm not interested in watching plays at the theater"

"Don't worry this place is not a theater, it's an auction"

"Oh... then what do they auction here?"

Could it be that elves trade slaves in auctions just like humans did in those stories I read in my past world? Are the elves the bad guys now?

"Rare herbs from the jungle, mystical objects, Artifacts maybe... Err... Mysterious objects spread across the land, and even weapons made by the best blacksmiths in our country. Everything here is brought by merchants that explore the whole continent to trade and collect riches across the world"

"Hmm... Then can I also auction something?"

"I mean you can, but you don't have any money right what could it be?"

"Well, I was known as the best alchemist of my city, so I guess I could auction some of my potions"

"Potions?" Well, I guess so... Come here, I'll lead you to the organizers of the auction"

Yes, perfect. My crafting ability allows me to create perfect potions that no other alchemist was able to create back in the city. So let's just hope that the alchemist in this kingdom are not much better than in the human kingdom... and not so assholes.

Anyways, even if there are alchemist able to create potions like this, they are still top-notch, so I don't think they will be low in price.

As we arrived in front of the organizers, Alyem started talking to them about me.

"Aspen, could you please show us your potions?" Alyem turned to talk to me.

"Sure"

I brought out three Ironskin potions from my "Backpack" and showed them to the organizers.

"Bring one of our workers here" Exclaimed one of the guys towards an elf with glasses.

"Yes sir"

"So you made this potions Mr. Human? Are you sure they are safe for use?"

"I made hundreds for an army, and the soldiers are still normal, so I guess they are indeed"

"Let's hope so... How much does it last?"

"Eight hours, it increases the resistance of your skin to that of Iron"

"Hmm... I know that they are called Ironskin potion because of their effects at increasing resistance in the skin... However, as far as I know the effect these potions give at the skin doesn't actually reach the level of Iron"

"Well, mine do" I answered with a straight face.

"Hooh? Interesting, let's compare them to a "normal" Ironskin potion then, take it Alyem" The organizer threw an Ironskin potion towards Alyem. Telling him to drink the normal one.

*Gulp*

"Haah~"

"So Alyem, how do you feel?"

"Hmm... I can say that my skin got tougher, at least three times more hard than before..."

"Alright, oh, here it comes. Hey you, drink this potion made by this Sir"

"Huh? Oh, alright, as you wish sir"

*Gulp*

"Hmm?!"

The eyes of the organizer widened at the reaction of the man

"What's wrong?"

"N-no there's nothing wrong, it's like my skin got incredibly hard suddenly!"  (A/N: Things got Hard... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°))

"How many times more hard could you say it feels like?"

"Uhh... At least Six times harder. I even feel like I could punch a wall of Iron, and barely feel any damage!"

"Hmm... fascinating... could you two exchange blows and tell us how does it feel?"

""Alright""

*Whack!*

*Thud!*

...

"Ouch..." Alyem said while massaging his cheek.

"So...?"

"I didn't feel anything from his punch" Said the elf that drunk my potion.

"I felt the pain get reduced, however, I still felt pain..." Alyem said, sightly dissatisfied by the outcome of the matter.

"Marvelous! We will gladly take these potions!"

Alright!

"We accorded to take a 5% of the money offered by the bidders of each object. So how many potions do you have to offer Sir... err..."

"My name is Aspen, and I currently have 30 potions available"

"Oh! Perfect, then the whole stack of potions should be at the price of...... Five thousand Syelves!"

Oh! Five thousand Syelves!

"Then I will gladly accept your offer" I shook hands with the organizer, and soon walked back to our sits along with Alyem.

"Heh~ So you also have talent at alchemy huh... I guess the rumor that weak Soul Power means less talent was really a lie"

"Indeed..."

Soon we took our seats and began waiting for the auction to start.

...

"So Alyem... How much is worth Five thousand Syelves?"

"Hmm? You didn't know? It should be enough to buy a normal house in the middle of the city"

That much huh?

Nice.
