Eric ran from Aria's food faster than when he ran away after he got out of the mine! He headed towards the auction house and met with manager Anthony. Anthony welcomed him with open arms!

" The collector, what brings you here today?"

" I want to put a thing for auction"

"Oh! what thing would it be!" Asked Anthony intrigued.

" Variant transcendent beast eggs!"

"What!" Screamed Anthony.

"Variant transcendent beast eggs!" repeated Eric

" Are you serious! you sell even those!" Anthony now formed another idea about Eic in his mind! This guy must be from some superior influence if he does not even put these beast eggs in his eyes! he would gladly accept them.

" Why not sell them to me?" Tried to persuade Anthony

" No , just auction them and take off your fees!" Eric shook his head!

"All right then! There was supposed to be an auction in 2 days! I guess the final item has now changed. how many by the way?" asked Anthony

" 10!"

"..." what Anthony right now wanted to say was " get the fuck out of my face!"

"how much!"

" I said 10!"

" OH i tought i was hearing things! my ears had some problems lately but now I think it's my brain that has the problem, I'm hallucinating and seeing illusions! 10 transcendent beast eggs is surely a dream!" Anthony started doubting his reality!

"Keep my identity a secret!"

Eric left after passing the eggs and took a receipt this time to prove that he had handed them to the auction! standard procedure and precautions!

News got out the next day! Transcendent beast eggs were put up for sales! But no one knew how many of them existed.

This news rocked Candor city upside down once again! Every influence started gathering money to participate in the upcoming auction!

"have you heard! multiple transcendet beast eggs are up for sale!" a random person said in an inn

"Yeah! The city lord, The three noble families are all attending!"

"No shit! I wonder how much they would sell for!"

The auction house was composed of three floors built around a square where they presented the items!

The first floor was the biggest while the second was prepared for vips! such as Nobles and the city lord!

The third floor on the other hand was meant for supreme VIP, A certain amount of prestige and status was needed for one to stay there! and in today's auction, it was actually occupied but no one knew who was there Not even the nobles! Only the City lord dylan knew!

Today, All the barons attended!Old man Dylan as well! They all wanted the beast eggs!

Anthony walked out and said:

" Ladies and gentlemen! For today's auction there was a change of plans! we will only auction the beast eggs! As all of your esteemed selves already know! The rules state that pressing the price with status is not allowed! Bidding fair and square is the rule! I wish you all a plentiful harvest!" He clapped his hands and a beautiful woman in a red dress came out holding and egg rather big with both hands , she put it inside an already prepared box and smiled to the audience.

" We shall not announce how many Eggs there are so bid as you wish, the starting price is 100 amethyst coins!"

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

"200!"

"500!"

"700!"

"1000!"

The price kept on rising till it reached 2500 called by The velasi family head!

"3000!"

came a smooth and beautiful voice from the Third floor! The Velasi family head did not dare to bid as he knew only dukes and above had the right to be there!

Eric was startled by the voice ! He knew he recognized the voice somewhere! he searched his memory and remembered the girl he had met in the holy garden! This was a perfect chance to repay the favor! so he told Anthony:

" Take the egg to that girl! and tell her That this is a thank you for that time in the garden, don't charge her the price as for the fees you can take it from the sum at the end!"

He thought for a while then wrote on a paper something and passed it along saying" this as well!"

after the end of the auction, he knew he was impuslive! since she had seen his face that time! and if she investigates now she can easily link him to the " collector"!

Anthony was surprised, he first tought this guy wanted to build relationships with that person but after he heard all, he confirmed his earlier guess even more so!

Meanwhile in the third floor!

" Princess, why Buy these eggs? Your father can give you better ones!" an old looking woman asked Aurora!

" These are not normal transcendent eggs but from a variant king of beasts! If raised well they could help quite a lot!" replied Aurora

A knock then sounded on the door!

"It must be it!" thought Aurora!

A good looking servant girl came in! and said after she kneeled.

"Your Highness, The seller told me not get charged!"

but before she finished the old lady interrupted her!

" Everyone wants to build relations huh! take the money to this seller and go"

" Esteemed lady! please let me finish my message!"

the old lady was surprised that there was more so she waved her hand as if letting the maid continue!

Aurora was surprised as well!

"He also said, this is a thank you for that time in the holy garden! and his piece of paper!"

Aurora's eyes instantly brightened up! she had tasked her servants of looking around for this guy yet no results came back! It was as if he was a ghost! But now he showed up again with these eggs! She remembered that time he asked her about how to make money! it seems he found this way!

She had an urge to meet him now but she had to wait until the end of the auction.

She took the piece of paper and read:

"Thank you for showing me the way, Day and night, I always dreamt about an angel in a holy garden, your beautiful face suprressing nature around it lighting up my way. We will meet again shall our paths cross!" She blushed hard! and stood up, she wanted to find him now!

Author note : BASTARD ERIC!

The auction continued and prices were high since no one knew how many eggs were there! After all was sold! Eric sat in front of Anthony :

" The amount accumulated is 30000 amethyst coins! after cutting out the fees and the first egg!"

"Damn! IT seems we now have enough to go look for good materials and build our weapons!" Thought Eric but then the door was opened and a sound came:

" You're here!" Aurora said!
