Return of The Unrivaled Spear Knight
Chapter 304
“Did... did I hear one hundred thousand gold?”
The number was met with a commotion from the audience. Everyone’s eyes were drawn inexorably to one point, and the crowd split apart in unison to reveal an individual, about 160cm, standing firmly in the center of it all.
“Wh-what did you just say?”
“I said, one hundred thousand gold.”
“...!” The auctioneer's mouth dropped open in shock.
“Is it insufficient?”
“N-no, it’s just that—”
He stared at the small-robed person suspiciously, but the bidder’s face was hidden deep inside the hood.
The bid had increased from twenty thousand to one hundred thousand gold so rapidly that the auctioneer couldn't believe it. This was a sum that could easily be used to purchase a mid-sized merchant group, so how could he maintain his composure? The auctioneer felt the need to be cautious and meticulously scrutinized the bidder.
“Please tell me your name,” he asked carefully.
“....” The individual stared at him for a moment before reaching inside the robe.
“...?”
He looked in confusion at the small leather pouch that was produced.
“I don’t believe you’re asking for my name because you really want to know.”
“That’s...”
“I believe that money is status here?” The individual glanced at the pouch as they spoke. “This is a subspace pouch. It contains precisely one thousand coins, each worth one hundred gold.”
“...!” The auctioneer's eyes widened greedily.
‘What a goldmine!’
There was no reason for the individual to be lying when they would be caught the moment the artifact’s authenticity was checked. And once it was confirmed, there was no reason to bother opening it up to check the contents since the pouch itself was a representation of wealth.
“You may check it out for yourself. There isn't any warding magic on it.”
“Ah, there’s no need for that.”
Having swiftly completed his calculations, the auctioneer shook his head. He didn’t forget to quickly scan the crowd with a trained eye as he shook his head.
“Are there any bids greater than one hundred thousand gold?”
“....”
As he expected, there was only silence.
The robed figure spoke pleasantly, “Let’s stop dragging things out.”
“B-but we must adhere to procedures...”
“At a time like this, do you really think there’s another who has the ability to pay such a large sum of money in full?”
The robed figure’s assertion instantly shut the auctioneer’s mouth.
“I should also point out that it’s not a sword but a spear that I’m willing to buy for this price. If it’s the ‘Iron Empress’ of the Astro Merchant Group, then maybe it would be more understandable...”
The auctioneer flinched so hard it was visible.
That was the problem. If it were a sword, the value would rise tenfold; no, he could expect to get more than that. Of course, he also wouldn’t have to go through a cumbersome auction like this since the prestigious families would somehow hear about it without the Astro Merchant Group having to advertise it like this.
‘But it’s different with a spear. Damn, greed really is never-ending. It’s a hundred thousand gold, but it still seems like a shame to sell it for this price.’
The auctioneer smacked his lips in pity.
Even the nobles of large estates overflowing with gold would hesitate to spend one hundred thousand gold. Hertonia’s work may be renowned and expensive, but there were very few people who would be willing to spend a large sum of money on something that was no better than decoration.
‘Most people on the continent now acknowledge the spear’s superiority as a weapon, but they also know that it is a long and awkward weapon that is hard to handle. That’s the problem.’
For the infantry or commoners, it was their dream weapon, but knights, who aimed for much more, did not think the same.
Currently, there was only one person who could maximize the potential of the spear: the Hero King, who had vanished.
“W-well then, I’ll assume there are no more bids...” The auctioneer’s voice rang through the silence. “The renowned spear of Hertonia is sold for one hundred thousand gold!”
“WAHHHHH!”
Erhaim Square was filled with cheers from the audience.
***
Two individuals wearing robes walked through a rather dark alleyway far from the square. Their faces were covered by their hoods. The short one walked next to the taller individual, about 190cm, who was carrying a pure white spear that was double their height.
They suddenly stopped.
“...We’re being followed.”
“I know.” The smaller figure nodded, unsurprisedDiscover new chapters at novel35.com
“Let’s talk about this later,” the robed individual’s low voice suddenly spoke.
“Huh? What do you...?” Icarus looked at them in confusion as she asked.
“At least a thousand?”
“I don’t think the number is the issue here.”
“Should we run?”
“Where to?”
Cain frowned at Christian’s question. He looked to the side to speak to Icarus.
“You idiot. This is why I always told you to be careful. Of course, you’d become a target in this harsh world once people discovered that you’re carrying that much money with just the two of you.”
“...Are we being followed?”
When Cain quietly clicked his tongue, Icarus instantly grasped the situation.
He closed his eyes and deeply focused for a moment. His expression hardened as she changed his attitude.
“...Sorry, I apologize.”
“...?”
“It’s not you. They’re after us.”
“That’s not good,” Christian muttered in response to Cain’s words. “The Ice Emperor is here...”
“Can you handle him?”
“Sir Cain, are you confident you can handle him?”
Cain erupted into laughter when Christian answered his question with a question.
“We’ve waited for so long; you think we’re going to get caught like this?”
“The opponent is one of the Nine Stars.”
“That’s just hearsay.” Cain grinned as he drew an inky black greatsword as tall as he was. “He’s never fought against me, has he?”
“That’s true,” a new voice spoke.
“...!”
The quartet’s eyes flew open. The voice was clearly audible and seemed to come from right next to them.
Cain’s focus quickly shifted to the opposite end of the alley.
A man with a palpable presence stood there, his silhouette against the light
“I like that confidence of yours. It is indeed true that you have to experience something to get the measure of it.”
“The Ice Emperor, Duke Eima!” Cain shouted
“After the death of the Dark God, I was able to obtain the lowest rank, but...”
Step, step, step
“I’m still a different class from you.”
“....”
“Twin Lions, no, Solo Knight Cain and Blessed Knight Christian.”
“...!”
“Hehehe. I expected you to be here, but with two Superhumans here, His Majesty’s worries will be reduced...”
Duke Eima approached them and smiled.
“Let me ask you a question.”
Step.
“Your master.”
Step.
“The one who everyone praises as the Hero King.”
The duke stopped in front of them.
“The one who escaped the attack of three Stars, which not even the Dark God could escape...”
“....”
“Where is Joshua Sanders?”
