Paper and fabrics, like silk, were commonly considered raw materials for crafting, historically bearing a lower price compared to other commodities.
Nevertheless, for artisans and tailors across the continent, these items were essential, often causing a high demand that consumed entire days.
As the transactions were being carried out in a calm manner in the auction house, somewhere else was not as calm.
“Quaaagh!”
“Keoouk!”
Within a small inn nestled in Benessa, the silver-haired woman diligently tended to her tasks, unfazed by the piercing screams echoing around her.
“Argh…you b1tch…you b1tch..,what the hell…kkeuuuk!!”
Without hesitation, she swiftly cut the throat of anyone attempting to speak, her silvery-white sword in hand as she methodically approached the person before her.
“These guys are quite greedy… Sakiel or whatever, you just had to take my things… ”
With those words, she packed the items she wanted, unfazed by the bloodshed around her.
“Youuu…kuh…”
“Huh? Was there someone still alive?”
“Arrgh.. who are you… you dare..to..do this? You know who we are..,”
The Sakiel knight’s face contorted in anger.
The silver-haired woman met his fury with a cold smile, “You are just some foolish bugs who fearlessly interfered with our plan…”
Her words were accompanied by a deliberate wave of her hand, stirring emotions of shock and fear on Sakiel’s face.
“This…stop…no way! no way you! Stoop!!!”
In a fleeting moment, a blinding light flashed…
Everything, from the person right before her eyes to the corpses strewn about, vanished without a trace. It was as if the scene had never existed, disappearing like dew under the morning sun, eerie in its seamless erasure.
“Hmn..hmmn..hee..hee..hhmmn~”
Following the immaculate clean-up, she joyfully hummed a familiar childhood melody.
Having obliterated the evidence, the silver-haired woman departed without remorse.
It was as if she had just squashed insignificant bugs, devoid of any guilt…
***
It was the ninth day of the auction.
In this period, featuring medicinal materials and spices, Bahamut revisited the auction house.
The fabrics and books from the past two days didn’t pique his interest much, and their profits were comparatively lower than other auction items.
However, this day’s auction held a different allure for Bahamut.
Medicines and spices, expendable yet intriguing items, drew his attention.
“This is from a special deer that only lives in the east. This musk is something that is said to be mainly used by noble ladies to seduce men. The best item for those who have a man they want to capture!”
“4 talets!”
“8 talets 200 silver!”
“12 talets!”
Women eagerly raised their hands, enticed by the prospect of captivating men.
The significance of these items’ value resonated with some attendees, either through stories or personal experiences.
“Can I really seduce men with something like that?”
“Well…considering that anecdotes related to the real thing are also listed in history, isn’t it highly likely that they are real? I’ve never experienced it, but…”
Bahamut found himself not just casually interested but thoroughly engaged in the auction’s rare offerings, from the musk on display to bear bile, antlers, and dried wild ginseng.
Amidst the rare oriental medicines and high-priced silkworm corpses, Bahamut found enjoyment in observing the proceedings.
‘It can be effective whether you’re interested in taking care of your body or enhancing your stamina. But it looks like that item is still a long way off. Well…it must be the main attraction of this auction…’
Even in his previous world, he had only heard tales, and he had never expected to witness such an item here.
It was rumored to command an extraordinary price.
‘I should win the bid if possible. I made a lot of money, so I can’t miss this opportunity.’
As he contemplated this, Bahamut leisurely awaited the appearance of the particular item that had piqued his curiosity.
“Hmm? That person…”
